Farming with medicine

Chapter 70 Conspiracy
"Grandma, just lie down here," said Doukou and ran to find the builders, and told them to make a hole in the place of the gate to make it a gate.

Anping joined hands with two craftsmen to dismantle the stone wall. After a clanging sound, the Zhang family's mother-in-law couldn't lie down anymore, she got up from the ground and left.

"It must be time to gamble again," Osmanthus sighed.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about her. I won't stay long this time. Let's figure out when to bring Yaomei back." After Ruyi got married, she seldom interacted with this family. It's almost the same level as this family.

Cao Bailan knew that Ruyi had come back, and she had been waiting for Ruyi to come to the door with the air of a sister-in-law, waiting left and right, but no one came, watching the things brought back from the carriage were unloaded in the courtyard of Osmanthus fragrans, anxiously she came again. Unable to sit still, he turned to look for Duhu.

There was no one to be found in the yard, and wandering into the wing room, only to see Dumb lying on the ground fanning a cattail fan, with paper, ink, pens and inkstones scattered around him in a mess.

"If you are asked to study, you will be lazy. Look at the life of the other side. You are better than raising a fool." Cao Bailan grabbed Duhu by the ear and pulled him up from the ground. Fat and strong, he lay on the ground and refused to get up.

"You took my aunt's money to buy rouge and gouache, and I just wanted some money to see Lonicera, but you refused to pay, so what else do you care about me?" Da Hu confidently lay down with his legs crossed like a stone pier Do not move.

When Cao Bailan heard this, she quickly knelt on the ground and covered Dumb's mouth, "You don't know that your aunt wants to chew up the honeysuckle, and you dare to ask her for money, you white sheep and wolf, it's useless to feed you like this Big, your elbows are still turning outward."

Duhu sat up from the ground suddenly, Cao Bailan's words made him suspicious, "What are you going to do? I just want money to buy some food to send to Lonicera. Is it really Lonicera who did it?"

Realizing that she had slipped her tongue, Cao Bailan stood up and kicked Duhu, and shouted in a weak voice, "What are you asking for, mother told you, don't mention the word honeysuckle at home in the future, it has nothing to do with our family." No, what do you look at, even if it is released, you are not allowed to find her."

Cao Bailan walked to the door and paused, then turned around and asked, "You study hard for me, and remember to kiss your aunt in the future, maybe I can help you sometime, do you hear me?"

Duhu doesn't care about this, it's her aunt, and she has to take care of his business at any time, but the more Cao Bailan said not to let Dahu mention the honeysuckle, the more strange he felt, "Mom, didn't you still ask for the honeysuckle?" Why? Why don’t you let me find it? You only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps.”

Cao Bailan gave Duhu a blank look, and waved his hand to dismiss the disgust on his face, "It's not good to learn something, it's useless to learn these words, mother doesn't understand, so don't be foolish, just do whatever you're asked to do, Don't inquire about things in the future."

When Cao Shuzhu heard the news Cao Ergou brought, she was distraught, hating Lonicera for making her lose her life of glory and wealth more than losing her child, so she fell on Cao Ergou's shoulder and wanted to cry.

"Come on, didn't it just cost you a few taels of silver? Look at your lack of backbone," Cao Bailan helped her sister up, and said to Cao Ergou, "Brother, don't leave for a while, my sister-in-law is back. I'll go and see what good things she brought back later, you and Fugui have a drink at noon."

Cao Bailan knew she was wrong, but she didn't want this brother to be troublesome, so she wanted to gag them with a meal.

Cao Ergou didn't appreciate it, and glared at Cao Bailan, "Drink a fart, Zhuzhu's children are gone, I'm not in the mood to drink, I'll take Zhuzhu into the city later, you go out and ask for insect-killing powder come back."

Fukang Town is a small town at the foot of the mountain. There are only three neighboring villages. The poison used most often is to kill snakes, insects, rats and ants. However, in order to prevent the animals from eating the poisoned snakes and rats, For some years, it is not used anymore, and all the traps and nets are used to eliminate harm. This will make it harder for Cao Bailan to find these rare objects than to go to heaven.

But what makes Cao Bailan feel even more strange is that brother Sulai likes to eat some wild things, and he always catches them alive.

"What do you want?" Cao Bailan said a little more, but also thoughtful, seeing her brother faltering and saying nothing, she said casually that there was no such thing.

Cao Shuzhu pulled Cao Ergou and said, "Brother, you can buy something else from the drugstore in the city, it's all the same, as long as you kill people."

When he heard that he was going to kill someone, Cao Bailan's legs gave way in fright, "What are you going to do? Killing someone will cost you your life."

She also counted on her elder brother who was working in the county government office and the younger sister who slept on the county magistrate's bed to help out a little in the future, but she couldn't watch what happened to the two of them.

Cao Shuzhu couldn't see how cowardly her sister looked like a mouse, so she took a sip, "Who will pay for my child? Your life will be ruined because your heart is not black enough or cruel enough, otherwise you would have thrown the Osmanthus family out and made trouble. Now the lunatics raised by people who build new houses are promising, let's see you again."

I told this elder sister long ago that to be soft to others is to be cruel to herself, and she refuses to listen. Who is to blame for the tight life now.

What Cao Shuzhu didn't know was that Cao Bailan's hands were dark enough and ruthless enough, but that crazy girl's heart was even darker than hers, and her eyes looked as if she was about to kill someone. Who would dare to confront her.

"Brother, let's get down to business first," Cao Shuzhu pushed Cao Ergou out the door, and asked Cao Bailan to hand over the rest of the money without looking back.

The old lady of the county yamen sent ten taels of silver, spent two taels of rouge and water powder, and added some clothes and rice noodles for the rest, and she had other plans for the rest, so she simply took out a tael of silver and threw it to Cao Shuzhu, "That's all, take your time."

Cao Shuzhu curled her lips, handed the money to her elder brother, turned around and said to Cao Bailan, "You, even if you are so poor, you would be too timid to hold back a tael of silver. I would even take more than a tael for a glass of wine with the county master." I will reward you with silver, and when I turn around, my sister and I will return to the county magistrate, and I will let my sister follow me to live in the mansion for a few days, so that you can see how the rich and noble families live in the high gate compound."

I thought she was kicked out of the county government because the county magistrate didn't dote on her, so she let the old lady in the mansion mess around, and now she was going to execute Lian Dong secretly. I was thinking about it, thinking about going back to the government office all the way, how to step on the main house under my feet.

Cao Shuzhu didn't return all night, and there was no letter at all. On the second day, Cao Bailan had the cheek to take the carriage of Osmanthus and Ruyi to pick up Yaomei and went into the city to find someone.

Cardamom also entered the city and separated from her mother. When delivering the fairy vegetables, I heard that a female cook in the Crane Tower hanged herself last night.
