"Dad, you'd better go and have a look. Grandpa... I'm afraid something is wrong." After the eldest daughter-in-law finished speaking, she hurried to the kitchen.

not good?

Yes, Dad is also infected with wind-cold. He is old and in poor health, and the medicine was mixed with water, so it is normal for him to recover slower than him.

Qu Mantian pushed open the door of the back room.

The room was dark.

It was closed for a long time, and there was an indescribable stench inside.

He frowned and walked to the bed, suddenly shocked.

Are you sure the man with gray hair and withered face on the bed is not dead?

"Father! Father!"

As if he heard a sound, Qu Laogen struggled and grabbed his hands, muttering in his mouth: "The field is full! There is a ghost! There is a ghost! The ghost is coming to catch me!"

His expression was horrified.

Qu Mantian was shocked and frightened, and even more convinced that Qu Zhe's ghost had come back to seek revenge on them.

"Dad, you were dreaming. There was no ghost, no..."

He tried hard to comfort his old father, but Qu Laogen seemed not to hear him and fell into a nightmare.

The old woman lying next to her tried her best to raise one eye, looked at it, smiled silently, and closed her eyes again.

The whole process was silent.

Qu Laogen fell asleep.

Qu Mantian walked out exhausted.

He had just recovered from a serious illness and was still very weak. He felt weak after just basking in the sun for a while, so he had to go back to his room and lie down.

For so many days, Mrs. Wang has not come back, and the unfilial son, I don't know whether it is alive or dead.

Thinking of the money lost out of thin air at home...

To be honest, Qu Mantian is not sure now whether Yao Tsai is not coming back because he has spent all his money and is afraid to come back.

That’s a whole lot of belongings!

However, deep in his heart, there was a voice telling him, no, it was all done by ghosts, all by Qu Zhe!

Qu Mantian did not dare to think deeply and resisted thinking deeply.

Today's lunch is a bowl of crystal clear porridge for each person. You can clearly count how many grains of rice are at the bottom of the bowl.

Qu Mantian drank it all in one gulp and placed the bowl heavily on the table, "Put more rice next time you cook."

There is no rice flavor at all, just drink water.

The eldest daughter-in-law said calmly, "Dad, there is no rice at home."

Qu Mantian: “…”

It's annoying.

"Labor and management really owe you!"

"Look, Dad, what you said is as if it's our fault that our family is like this. We also want to eat twice-cooked pork with white rice. You should ask your third brother to pay back the money!" Qu Er was already full of anger. .

He is not Qu Da, the only grandson of the Qu family is his son, he feels confident.

Qu Mantian explained again, "It wasn't the third child who got it..."

"Could it be that the silver has wings and flies by itself?" The second daughter-in-law tilted her mouth and said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, that's not how partiality works. The third brother is a son. Could it be that the second brother of ours is not the same. Now he is famous outside with the money. If you drink spicy food, we will eat glutinous rice bran at home, and our second wife will also have a share of the money!"

She hated and complained.

A dozen taels!

How much pork do I need to buy?

The third child is too much!Indifference!Selfish!

Qu Mantian covered his head, "I told you, this matter has nothing to do with the third child!"

The third child might be dead.

But he couldn't say it. Only he, Wang, the old man and Ah Fu knew about that matter.

A meal broke up badly.

The second daughter-in-law was cursing in the yard.The eldest daughter-in-law came out after washing the dishes, subconsciously persuaded: "Didn't you all eat like this before?"

Immediately, he was stunned by the sentence "I didn't know there was so much money in the family before."

The eldest daughter-in-law:…

This is true.

I felt uncomfortable for a moment.

Then he figured it out, she only had three daughters, and the family didn't have enough money to buy a big house, so...

But still uncomfortable.

It is obvious that their eldest family is the one who has paid the most for the family and is the one who is the most tired, but everything in the family has nothing to do with them.

They are outsiders, shielded from all benefits.

The second wife gave birth to a son, but what about the third child? What does the third child have?
After the eldest daughter-in-law returned to the room, she couldn't help but complain to the man.

Originally he was just complaining, but the more he spoke, the smoother he became, "...Yes, who told us that we don't have a son, and who told us that we should have a nephew to take care of us until we die, but this is the only son in the second brother's family, and people like the second brother and the second younger sister can make him Feed us? Our family is running around like old scalpers. I've been feeling weak recently. Didn't you also complain about back pain some time ago? It's like this all day long, and we can't even eat enough. You think we can really live to enjoy happiness? Can we really enjoy the blessings? If we die, what will Da Ya and the others do? We are exhausted, but our Da Fang family has nothing to enjoy!"

Eat the worst and work the most.

Proper tool man.

After all, the second wife gave birth to a son, and he is a hero of the old Qu family, but why should the third child be regarded as the youngest?Did they deserve to be born early?
Seeing that Qu Da didn't speak.

She suddenly became angry and pushed, "You should be talking!"

Qu Da was angered by the push, so he simply turned over and faced the other side, "My parents are in charge of all the money at home, what can I do!"

The eldest daughter-in-law: “…” It’s been eight lifetimes of bad luck for me to meet this family!

There was nothing she could do.

Then he asked in frustration, "Where did the third child go?"

Qu Da shook his head, "We went to the town to look for him, and also asked in nearby villages, but we couldn't find him." It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

"Where's your mother?"

"Mom can't be found either."

"What's going on!" the eldest daughter-in-law lamented, completely confused as to how a good family could become like this.

In the next room, the second room was also whispering.

It's nothing more than those few words, the dead old man favors the third child.

Qu Er lowered his voice, "Actually, I heard news that a death row prisoner escaped a few days ago."

"what!"

The second daughter-in-law sat up suddenly, "You, you mean..."

"That's the only one who will be executed during this period." Qu Er pointed out.

The second daughter-in-law's eyes widened, "He ran away?! How is it possible! There are so many people in the yamen..." How could he run away?

But the fact is that the person ran away.

It's amazing.

Qu Er: "He also injured the county magistrate."

It is said that the injuries were quite serious, and he could not get out of bed and was unconscious. Even the government officials were injured a lot.

So until now, the village has not received any news.

"Then, where is he now?" The second daughter-in-law looked frightened and grabbed the man's arm. "Do you think he will take revenge on our family?"

Although it was said that the man sought his own death and killed someone, he went to testify, but it was still a false testimony, and he ended up being exterminated...

"Do you think he took the third child away... But, mother..." The second daughter-in-law pursed her lips, "My mother has a vicious mouth. She scolded him a lot in the past..."

Country people don't have anything nice to say, and they are fatherless and motherless, so they can scold them as harshly as they can.

Qu Er had already made a guess.

But if it can bring huge benefits to the family, what reason does he have to refuse?

Human life is at stake...

Other people's lives are none of his business. He has the money to take it, and it's up to him whether they die or not.
