I became the villain's deceased wife

In the middle of the night, Haoer indeed developed a high fever.

Liu was afraid of being alone, so she knocked on the door and called Xie Yunzhe and Song Tian, ​​and worked all night long, decocting medicine and wiping the body.

By daybreak, the fever had finally subsided and he regained consciousness.

Song Tian quickly cooked some porridge for him and fell into a deep sleep again.

Before he had time to go back for a nap, the ninth aunt Liu mentioned came with people and said that a wealthy family surnamed Cheng in the town was recruiting laundry workers, and the pay was one cent for three pieces.

Song Tian hurriedly followed her to get the clothes, went home, drank some porridge, and started to fetch water to wash the clothes.

Although Liu was also sick and coughed from time to time, she still struggled to wash with Song Tian for the whole day.

I counted when it got dark and found that I had washed more than thirty pieces of clothing.

But the little cornmeal left at home had been eaten up, so he donated clothes and got the money, and thought of buying some food.

Only then did Song Tian realize that labor was worthless in ancient times. He and Liu worked hard for a whole day and only earned a dozen cents, which was not enough to buy three kilograms of rice. They could only buy some stale cornmeal of poor quality.

Xie Yunzhe went out to look for a job early in the morning and came back in the evening, covered in dust.

He said he had been looking for a whole day, but there was no shortage of people for accountants or clerks, and the hard laborers like porters and sedan chair bearers looked down on someone as small as him, so he came up empty-handed.

The family was in a depressed mood. In the evening, Song Tian cooked another pot of corn porridge, and everyone ate in silence.

The next day, Song Tianqiang cheered up and got some more clothes, fetched water and started washing.

After a busy day yesterday, Liu was too weak to hold on and almost fainted while fetching water.

Song Tian asked her to go back and rest.

Although Song Tian was also very tired, fortunately the original owner had been doing rough labor under the harsh treatment of her stepmother since she was a child, so she was still strong and could hold on.

Fortunately, Xie Yunzhe did not go out to look for work in the morning, so he helped her and washed more than forty pieces of clothes.

In the afternoon, Song Tian was exhaustedly sorting out the clothes that were hung out to dry when she heard a dog barking outside the courtyard gate.

She leaned outside and saw a black dog squatting not far from her house and barking wildly. It was the same black dog that chased Hao'er up the tree that day.

"Go away, you bully, get out of here!"

She pushed him away with disgust.

The black dog lowered its head, took a few steps back, and stopped barking.

Song Tian went back to sort out her clothes.

After a while, the dog started barking again, and the barking became louder and louder.

Song Tian was very annoyed. If it weren't for this little dog, Hao'er wouldn't have been injured, and she wouldn't have to be so tired now!

He picked up the laundry mallet and went out to chase the dog.

But as soon as I went out the door, I saw a man driving a black dog towards the river. The reason why the dog was barking so happily was because someone was driving it.

Upon closer inspection, the man was none other than Xie Yunzhe, who said he would look for a job in the afternoon.

Song Tian stood at the door holding a wooden stick and wondered why Xie Yunzhe was picking on a dog?

Just as he was thinking this, he had already forced the black dog to the water's edge, and then he kicked the barking dog into the water...

Song Tian shuddered!

He even spared the dogs!

I thought he was just venting his anger, so he would just kick it in. Puppies can swim, so they will be able to swim out in a while.

But Xie Yunzhe then turned around, picked up a tree branch, went to the water's edge, aimed at Erhei's ribs, and stabbed it hard!

The dog's screams were drowned in the water and soon died away...

Song Tian was so scared that she held her breath and looked around quickly.

Fortunately, it was the time when the tenant farmers went to work, and there was no one on the whole road.

Xie Yunzhe grabbed the branch and poked the dog's body to make sure it was dead. He then poked it and walked a long way along the edge of the pond before dropping the branch and clapping his hands.

Feeling that his clothes were wrinkled due to his rough movements just now, he even took his time to straighten his clothes and rubbed the wet mud off the soles of his shoes!

What a terrible person!

Song Tian couldn't help but think.

At this time, Xie Yunzhe suddenly turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

Song Tian quickly turned around and went into the yard, threw away the mallet, and pretended to tidy up her clothes.

"What did you just see?"

Xie Yunzhe entered the yard, walked straight to her and asked.

Song Tian's hands were shaking a little, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"I was sorting my clothes and didn't see anything!"

Xie Yunzhe stared at her for a while and sneered contemptuously.

It seemed like he was mocking her for being such a coward.

Song Tian lowered her head and continued to tidy up her clothes seemingly in a hurry.

Xie Yunzhe looked at her for a while, and finally turned and left!

Song Tian let out a long sigh, quickly packed up the washed clothes, and went out to deliver them.

Now that it is getting dark, the dog's owner will soon find out that he is missing. If he comes to look for him...

She was afraid that she would not be able to help but tell the truth!

When she arrived at the back door of the Cheng family, the servant quickly paid her wages and gave her a dozen dirty clothes:

"We washed clothes so quickly these past two days that the dirty clothes that were piled up before have basically been cleared out. After we finish washing these tomorrow, you can take a two-day break before coming back."

Song Tian's heart sank:

"You're done washing now?"

I haven’t saved enough money for Haoer’s medicine yet!

And the cornmeal I bought yesterday won't last for a few days...

"The mansion has accumulated these because the old woman who used to do laundry quit. There is no way there would be so many dirty clothes on a normal day!"

The man laughed and joked.

Although Song Tian wanted to make more money, she couldn't force others to wash more clothes. She could only agree and left in disappointment with the dirty clothes.

I passed by a steamed bun shop on the way, and the rich aroma of meat filled my nose. I had only been drinking porridge all day to fill my stomach, and now I was even hungrier!

She felt the sixteen copper coins in her hand and thought that this would not work.

Not to mention that she still had six cents of silver to pay back for the famine, if she continued like this she would probably starve to death first!

She wants to eat meat!

I dream of eating meat!

But thinking about Xiao Hao'er's condition, he could only endure the hunger and go home.

As soon as I turned the corner of the alley in Xiejia Village, I saw a large group of people gathered by the pond. The fat boy who bullied Haoer that day was lying on the ground crying loudly:

"Erhei, my Erhei!"

A woman in her forties next to her was holding her waist and looking ferocious:

"Who on earth was the scoundrel who killed my dog? If I knew about this, I would skin him alive and make sure he dies!"

Song Tian watched from a distance and didn't dare to go forward.

"His third aunt, besides the tenant farmers, we are the only family living in this area.

Hao'er was injured and still lying in bed unable to move. I had a headache today and I stayed asleep the whole time, but I don't know who did this evil thing."

Liu's face was pale and she was still unsteady as she stood leaning against a tree. She really didn't look like someone who could kill a dog.

"What about your eldest son? I think he looks like a bad boy and doesn't look like a good person.

He must have thought that his brother's injury was related to our Erhu, so he killed the dog to vent his anger!"

The tenant farmers around had all returned from work by now, and when they heard this, they pointed at the two of them.

Some said that Xu was a poor parent and allowed her child to bring his dog to bully others, and now he was getting the retribution.

Some also say that Xie Yunzhe is vindictive and vicious.

"Third aunt, you have to provide evidence when you speak. I went out to look for a job today and was not home all day. My wife also went to town to deliver clothes to someone.

I have never seen this dog before, how come I killed it?

Besides, we didn't say anything when my brother was injured. If you didn't feel guilty, how could you think I was taking revenge?"

Xie Yunzhe brushed his sleeves and bowed to Xu, his tone cold and helpless, as if he was being accused innocently and felt very aggrieved.
