Huo Xiuling was shocked and angry, "How could this happen! Whose heart is so broken!"

Huo Duan sighed, "Thanks to Brother Yan who discovered it carefully, otherwise if this medicine was sent to the county together, the consequences would be disastrous."

"It's my fault. I thought that everyone in the village knew the basics, so I didn't take this heart..." Huo Xiuling felt guilty, "Auntie apologizes to you."

Gu Fengyan comforted Huo Xiuling, "Don't worry about it, Auntie, you can make up for it..."

After a pause, he frowned, and thought: "Brother Rui said this was sent by Mrs. Xue and the Lin family on the other side of the river... I look at them, but they are not the kind of people who would do such a thing."

Dozens of households in Heqing Village have spoken to Huo Xiuling more or less. Leaving aside the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, members of the Xue family often embroider and dig wild vegetables with Huo Xiuling.

She thought for a while, "Brother Yan is right, I see that his sister-in-law of the Xue family is not someone who can do such dirty things."

Several people were silent.

At this time, Jiang Xuerui said with a pale face, "My sister-in-law did it."

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan looked at each other, but before they could speak, Huo Xiuling hurriedly pulled Jiang Xuerui and said in surprise: "Brother Rui, don't dare to say that, be careful when your sister-in-law finds out, she will make trouble again later."

"It's true." Jiang Xuerui shook his head and lowered his eyes, "When I came yesterday, I saw the sister-in-law of the Lin family coming down from the mountain... and my sister-in-law, the two were talking and laughing, but my sister-in-law took advantage of Lin's sister-in-law not paying attention. At that time, she exchanged the things in her rattan basket with Mrs. Lin..."

"My sister-in-law has always been such a greedy person, so I didn't care... I didn't expect her to do such a thing." Jiang Xuerui was ashamed and dared not look at the Huo family, "I was negligent. I Just go and call Ah Zhuo and eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the whole family will come to apologize!"

After he finished speaking, he ran out of the yard in a panic.

Gu Fengyan hurriedly pulled him back, "Brother Rui, listen to me."

Jiang Xuerui was so guilty that she almost cried, but she still stood her ground.

"Don't go to your sister-in-law first, Huo Duan and I guessed about this early on." Gu Fengyan pulled him and said, "Your sister-in-law is a powerful person, and we don't have any substantive evidence to accuse her so rashly, I'm afraid In the end, you are shooting yourself in the foot with a rock."

"We know who you and Second Brother Shen are. You shouldn't be responsible for what your sister-in-law did... Just leave it to us." He comforted Jiang Xuerui.

After all, Mrs. Yu is also his and Shen Zhuo's sister-in-law, Jiang Xuerui felt even more ashamed when she thought about it, and kept apologizing to Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan... until someone from the yard came to buy medicinal materials, they started to get busy.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan discussed how to catch Yu Shi while packing up the medicinal materials.

"Let's keep quiet here, she will definitely be curious. If you can do this for the first time, you can do it for the second time. Let's just pay attention." Gu Fengyan said.

Huo Duan thought for a while, "It's best to give her a chance when we're not here."

Gu Fengyan thinks it makes sense, "Didn't we just happen to go to Brother Xue's house to get medicinal materials in the afternoon? There will be no one at home at that time, and Mrs. Yu will not give up this opportunity."

"This trick is called inviting you into the urn..." He smiled at Huo Duan.

After discussing back and forth, they finally decided on a plan, and they just waited until the afternoon to lure Mrs. Yu to the hook.

After Huo Xiuling and Jiang Xuerui finished helping, they packed up and went home. Before leaving, Jiang Xuerui was so ashamed of Mrs. Yu's behavior that he didn't even ask for wages.

Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan had no choice but to keep the money first, and then find some excuse to pay it back after this matter is over.

When the time came in the evening, Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan went to Xue's house to bring back the medicinal materials. Father Huo helped Ye Bixian and his wife to look after the house and would not come back tonight.

The gate was open, and the medicinal herbs were drying in the empty courtyard, like a trap set by a hunter, waiting for someone to jump in...

Yu Shi has been worried these days.

Hu bean pods were being peeled in the yard, and the second boy had a runny nose, hanging on her arm and swaying back and forth, "Mother, mother to eat..."

The eldest is seven or eight years old, but when he should have gone to school, he is playing with mud under the jujube tree, with hands and faces like a cat.

"Eat, eat, eat, eat, you know you want to eat all day long! Ask your worthless old man to go!" Yu said fiercely, pushing his hand away.

The second kid had a runny nose and let out a wow, crying out of breath.

Shen Dingshan was sitting in the courtyard dam smoking a pipe. Seeing the second boy crying, he hurriedly pulled him over to coax him, and accused Yu Shi, "He is only so old, what can he do? If he is hungry, he will be hungry. Just give him something to eat." , why are you yelling at him...how can you be such a mother."

Furious, Yu slammed a handful of beans into the Shau Kei, "Of course he can't do anything! It is said that the son of a dragon who begets a dragon and a phoenix and a mouse can make holes. I don't think this is true at all. His father is A worthless wretch, what can he do!"

The fire burned to Shen Dingshan again, he frowned, and smoked his pipe on the stone, "Why are you losing your temper? I go out to take care of the fields by myself, and I will be angry with you when I go home, and I don't look at other women." How fitting..."

Immediately, Mrs. Yu became furious, stood up abruptly, put her hips on her hips and cursed, "Another woman? I haven't asked you to go and see other men, why are you asking me to see other women?! Shen Dingshan, you have such a big face!"

"The eldest son is going to school in the spring, and the second son doesn't have any good clothes. The family is jingling poor. How about you, and you will be angry with your mother-in-law when you go home?!" Yu Shi was furious, pointing at Shen Dingshan and questioning , "Why did I marry such a wimp like you?!"

The second boy in the yard was out of breath with a snot in his nose, and the eldest boy was so frightened by Yu Shi that he also started to cry at the top of his voice.

The yard is so lively.

After being married for many years, Shen Dingshan could endure the big quarrels for three days and the small quarrels for two days, but now he couldn't bear it anymore.

"What are you talking about! The child is crying like this, you are dead?!" He roared with a straight face, "Why did I marry such a crazy woman like you!"

Shen Dingshan was usually submissive, and never had an argument with Mrs Yu, but with such a sudden yell, Mrs Yu regretted his original choice even more.

Back then, at the age of a teenager, all the people who proposed marriage broke through the threshold of her house. She didn't like it. Only Shen Dingshan smiled when he saw everyone, and was gentle and considerate to her...

Pingjian husband and wife are sad about everything...Yu's nose sores and tears fall.

"Okay, Shen Dingshan, you can pretend, I was blind back then." She closed her eyes and swallowed tears, "I think I'm unlucky..."

Regardless of the elder and younger son, the second boy cried heart-rendingly, touched his tears and ran out of the hospital.

By this time it was almost dark.

Shen Dingshan remained silent, burying his head down and smoking his pipe, completely ignoring the two cubs who were crying hoarsely.

He was so good when he got married back then, and he vowed to be considerate and gentle to Shi Yu for the rest of his life... How did it become like this now?

……

Yu Shi went out, but he didn't know where he went for a while.

Her natal family is from the next county, and her father and mother went away a few years ago, and there is only one sister who is not close to her, and she also married to another place, the old house of Yu's family collapsed into disrepair.

It turns out that there is no mother's family anymore.

Yu Shi was walking aimlessly, and suddenly saw a light on the other side of the river.

That's the Huo family.

She sent something to Huo's house a few days ago, thinking it would ruin his family's business, but after so many days, there was no movement at all.

Why is everyone promoted and everyone rich? Even the Huo family, who used to be the poorest in the village, surpassed her...as if she was the only one in the world who deserved to endure such a messy life.

She is having a hard time, and no one can get past her!

Yu Shi stared at the Huo family's courtyard with vicious eyes like snakes and scorpions.

The weather is beautiful, the door of Huo's courtyard is open, and there is no one there.

There are a lot of poisonous weeds picked on Yu's road, as long as a few leaves are mixed in, it can destroy the Huo family.

The first time she put heartbroken grass flowers in the Lin's daughter-in-law's basket, she was still apprehensive, and she didn't even feel at ease for a few days.

But now, she is very calm. After doing this kind of thing for the first time, she will be more proficient the second time.

There are a lot of dustpans in the yard, which are full of freshly packed medicinal materials, and there is a smell of medicinal herbs in the air.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu grabbed a handful of poisonous weed leaves and put them in a dustpan——

But at this moment, a voice came from outside the yard, "What is the Shen family's sister-in-law doing?!"

Her hand was grabbed violently, and a handful of poisonous weeds fluttered to the ground.

Looking back, I saw Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan, and the boss of the Xue family at the entrance of the village and... Liu Zhengshan in Heqing Village!

Terrified, Yu withdrew her hands, "You, where are you at home? I pretended no one was there, so I said I would help close the courtyard door... It's true, why don't you make any noise at home, to scare my sister-in-law."

Several people looked at Mrs Yu.She felt guilty.

"Hey, where are the Xue family boy and Li Zheng?" Shi Yu laughed, cold sweat dripping down his back.She withdrew her hand, "I'll go back if you have something to do. Next time you go out, remember to close the door. What do you think if this is stolen?"

She walked out under the gaze of several people.

The corner of Gu Fengyan's lips curled into a smile, and he completely ignored her, "Sister-in-law didn't close the door for us...then what are you holding in your hand? And why did you mix that poisonous thing into the medicinal materials?!"

Yu's face was pale, her smile was stiff, and her tone was displeased, "Brother Yan, are you trying to slander me?!"

However, it's just a stern look.Liu Zhengshan was here, she had already thought of what happened to Liu Laosan, and she was trembling all over.

Gu Fengyan ignored her and picked up the poisonous weed leaves scattered on the ground.

"The heart-broken grass, which takes effect immediately, makes people feel so painful that they go back to the west...How can there be so many heart-broken grass in the honeysuckle that my sister-in-law said to be good?" He sneered.

Only then did Yu see the honeysuckle piled up in the corner of the yard.

They actually found out!

"The matter of collecting medicines was decided by both of you unanimously at the beginning! What? Now that something goes wrong, you want to blame me?!" She quibbled.

When Xue Daqi remembered that his daughter-in-law might be suspected of ruining her reputation because of this incident, she became very angry.

"You still dare to quibble, the Lin family was with you yesterday, how could you not know what you put in her basket?" He pointed at Mrs. Yu and roared.

Mrs. Yu was about to quibble, when Liu Zhengshan said, "Since Mrs. Shen Yu feels that he didn't do such a thing, then send it to the government tomorrow. It just so happens that Mr. Xue and I are also helping to make a certificate. It's so late, who knows?" I don't want to make a fuss either..."

When he spoke, he looked at Yu Shi, his tone was flat, even mild.

The Yu family was horrified...At that time, Liu Laosan was also sent to the government and escorted to the Northwest Army, but there is no news so far.

Liu Laosan is a man who will go and never return... But if she is a woman who really enters the Yamen, she is afraid that she will not be able to survive.

Thinking of this, Yu's legs trembled, his face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and said, "I did it, I admit it!"
