"That's right. What good kids. They know how to help their daddy share the burden."

The second daughter-in-law pretended to be stupid. She knew that her mother-in-law did not mean that, but she did not dare to refute it openly. She still wanted to say something fair for her two daughters.

The old lady glanced at her, as if she didn't understand what she was saying.

"They went because I asked them to go."

The second son's wife thought that the matter would be over, but she didn't expect the old lady to be so persistent. She insisted on making things clear and made the two of them work, and even belittled them as worthless. That wouldn't do. She had to seek justice today no matter what.

"It's dark and murky with ghosts howling and wolves howling, who would dare to go? You asked the eldest child to go, but he didn't go. My two children are the best. Even though they are girls, they are as brave as men."

The old lady was a tough guy with words, and she had been offended by so many people today. She was just looking for a place to vent her anger, but the second son's wife actually came to her door.

She also said that the eldest and second oldest are not as good as her two girls. How dare she say such things? How can a girl compare to a boy? She is really short-sighted and doesn't know anything.

She snorted softly, "What's the point of being so brave, little girl? You're always vying to do everything. You won't have a man to love you in the future."

This was really unbearable to listen to. It made people feel sick. I carefully retorted: "Mom, they are still young. It doesn't matter if they are men or not. But they must be better off than me."

The second son's wife is the first person in the family who does not fight or compete. She is lazy whenever she can and never stands when she can sit. It's just that she didn't find a good family, so she has no clothes to wear and no food to eat.

Since I married the second brother, I have almost starved to death several times. This is the worst life I can imagine. I have no man to love me. It would be better if I were not married. I have so much suffering that I have no one to complain to.

The old lady understood the meaning of her words and rolled her eyes at her.

"Why, you despise our second child? If you have the ability, you can remarry. If you don't, just accept it. This is your fate."

This left the second son's wife speechless and she could only swallow her anger in silence.

The old lady's ability to quarrel and curse is well-known in the area. It is extremely difficult to curse her more than she can.

I finally let out a sigh of relief in front of my daughter-in-law and felt refreshed all over.

Thinking of Jinshui and Xiuli, he frowned. It was so slow to get the news.

The two of them walked slowly hand in hand. They couldn't see the road clearly, and they took one deep step and one shallow step. The sound was getting closer and closer.

A figure appeared in front of her. Xiu Li squinted her eyes and looked at him. She turned her head and said, "It seems to be someone from the village."

Jinshui also took a look, and after confirming it, he walked over with confidence.

A few steps away, I saw clearly a person lying on the ground in front of the woman. Could it be that another person was dead? People kept dying one after another. What should I do? Could it be that she really had some infectious disease?

The two looked at each other and decided not to move forward. She could hear them talking here.

"Aunt...Aunt, this is..."

Hearing someone talking, she wiped her tears with her hand and looked over here.

She sobbed and said, "My man is gone..."

In addition to Jinshui and Xiuli, there were more people gathered around.

"Big sister, he seemed fine to me yesterday, but today... oh~"

"I, I don't know. He said he felt uncomfortable at night and wanted to rest for a while, so he didn't wake up again. He didn't eat so late, so he was hungry. When I woke him up, I found that he was hard."

"Did he feel unwell before?"

"I just said I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't take it seriously."

More and more people came over, all attracted by the crying, but there were not as many people as during the day. I heard some people whispering in the crowd.

"Hey, it seems a bit similar to the previous death."

"Yes, their complexions are all the same. I've also seen many dead people, and none of them were like this. I don't think they really have some infectious disease."

"Oh my god, I'm leaving first. It's obvious that the two people have the same symptoms. If it's not a disease that can be transmitted to humans, then what is it? And they both died so quickly. I'm still young, and I don't want to die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd dispersed instantly.

Jinshui and Xiuli were no exception. They took a few steps back and stayed far away.

Xiu Li held her sister's hand and said, "Let's go quickly. Stay away from the crowd and be careful."

Jinshui suddenly turned around, as if he saw a familiar figure, and pulled his sister's sleeve, "Look, is that Ni'er?"

It was too dark to see clearly. Xiu Li stared at it for a while and shook her head. "Never mind. It doesn't matter if it is or not. I should go back and tell grandma. If it's too late, she might scold me."

That person turned out to be Ni'er. Although she was quite far away from here, the news still got through.

Ni'er and Niu Li, who were resting in the tent, heard people talking outside. After listening carefully, they realized that someone had died again, so they got up and left the tent.

"Why did you come out? Did I wake you up?"

The third brother suddenly lowered his voice, worrying not to wake up his wife again, but such worry was unnecessary.

Yan Zi hasn't been getting enough sleep lately. She falls asleep as soon as she touches the pillow, and even thunder can't wake her up.

"No, we weren't asleep in the first place. We heard that someone else died, so we wanted to go check and confirm if it was an epidemic."

The third child was worried about letting the two children walk at night, and what if it was an epidemic? He refused to agree no matter what.

"No, you are not allowed to go."

Nier had never heard her father speak to her so seriously before. She knew he was worried, but she really wanted to go and see the situation. If it was a disease that could be transmitted to humans, she had to make plans early.

He squatted down and hugged his father's arm. "I will make all the necessary preparations to protect myself and prevent myself from getting sick."

The third brother was determined not to let his daughter go no matter what she said.

"No means no, go back to sleep."

Nier will not compromise, and no one can stop her from doing anything she wants.

"Dad, but I'm a doctor. I have to go and take a look. It would be best if it's not the case."

The third brother's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt a little regretful for letting his daughter go to learn medicine from Doctor Zhao. How could he let her go for such a dangerous thing?

"What doctor? You're not a master yet. You're just an apprentice."

Nier held up three fingers and said confidently, "Dad, I promise you, I won't get sick and I will definitely come back safely."

The third brother also had no way to deal with his daughter. He knew her temper and she was very determined and no one could stop her.

Seeing my father's helpless look with a frown on his face, I suddenly felt heartbroken.

He took out a bottle of medicine from his small bag, poured out a pill, and slid it into his palm. "Dad, look, as long as I take this medicine, I will never get sick. This is my master's treasure."
