Chapter 763： Why not show weakness to the enemy?

Chapter 763 Why not show weakness to the enemy?

Sacrifice?

Tao Hongying finally realized that she was afraid. She turned pale and asked with trembling lips: "Mom, what should I do? Fu Niuer must not be sacrificed, and nothing can happen to her!"

With her look like this, Mrs. Li regretted having frightened her daughter-in-law again, and quickly went back to make amends.

“I’m just guessing, and I’m not saying that someone will come to arrest Fu Niuer right away.

“In short, it is not good for everyone to say bad things, but it is not good for everyone to say good things.”

Tao Hongying nodded vigorously, "I understand, mother. I will definitely go out for a walk often and listen to the news in the city."

"That's right!" Old Mrs. Li sighed, "Our Fu Niu'er is also ten years old. We should go out more often and keep an eye out if there is a suitable boy.

“To put it further, Fu Niu’er will have to get married in another five or six years.”

Tao Hongying couldn't bear to hear this. The thought of the girl she had raised in her eyes being sent to someone else's home made her scratch her head and feel uncomfortable.

“Mom, let’s not talk about this, it’s still early, let’s deal with the matter at hand first!”

At this time, Jiayin just came back from the princess's mansion, carrying a basket full of strawberries in his hand.

Each strawberry is about the size of a child’s fist and is bright red, which is particularly eye-catching.

“Grandma, mother, look what I brought you! Strawberries, big and sweet.”

Just as Jiayin was about to present the treasure, my mother snatched the basket and put it aside. Then she was carried into the house and started to scold her.

"You still have the heart to eat? What's going on outside? It's really annoying!"

Mrs. Li also placed her granddaughter beside her and asked, "Fu Niu'er, tell grandma, do you know what's going on in the city?

“Your second uncle hasn’t come back for several days. Is he busy with this matter?”

Having just heard the good news, I knew I couldn't hide it.

So, she smiled and said at this moment: "Grandma, mother, don't worry. That day at Gu's house, I happened to hear a few words, and I felt that something was wrong, and I was afraid that someone was trying to plot against me.

“So, after I left Gu’s house, I went to find my second uncle. The second uncle said he would send someone to check. As a result, within a few days, the whole city was already full of legends.

“There’s no need to guess, someone must be causing trouble behind the scenes, but I don’t know what the purpose is.

"Don't be afraid. I won't go out recently. My second uncle will take care of the rest."

“You kid, you didn’t tell your family about such a big thing!” Tao Hongying wanted to slap her daughter in anger, but was reluctant, so she could only pull her sleeves.

Jiayin smiled and hugged my mother's waist, coquettishly comforting her.

“Mom, this is not a big deal. Our family is no longer a small farming family. Now anyone who wants to bully our family must think about it again.

“Besides, I had a bad reputation before, but now my bad reputation has improved. No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing, right?”

Tao Hongying was so angry that she glared at her daughter, "Don't come here to fool me! I would rather others be afraid of you than plot against you!"

Mrs. Li also said: "Yes, although your second uncle will handle this matter, it will take some time and we cannot find out immediately.

“We can’t just wait and let the uproar spread in the city.”

Jiayin had no choice but to ask: "Grandma, mother, do you have any good ideas?"

Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, "Since people in the city say you are lucky, then you just have to become unlucky.

“You usually wonder if there are any medicines among those weird medicinal powders that can make people temporarily weak?

“The best thing is to die soon and hang on for dear life, and no doctor can diagnose the cause?”

This is pretending to be sick!

Jiayin: If you think about it for a moment, this might be a good idea. After all, my family can't go into the city and stop the idlers one by one.

But if things continue to develop like this, it may become even more difficult to deal with.

Then it is better to take a step back and show the enemy weakness.

“Grandma, I really have a kind of medicinal powder here, which is similar to Ruanjin Powder. If you take it, you will be weak for two quarters of an hour, and your life will be hanging by a thread. Even if you check the pulse, you will definitely not be able to diagnose the cause.

"But after half an hour, I will be back to lively and active. At that time, I will apply some powder to make it look more like it, so no doctor can tell!"

Jiayin took out a medicine bottle from her purse and weighed it in her hands.

“However, there is a problem that I’m afraid grandma will need to solve.”

“What’s the problem? Tell me!” Mrs. Li immediately sat up straight, as if a **** was trying to block a **** or a Buddha was blocking a Buddha.

Tao Hongying also nodded and urged: "Hurry up and say it, don't be afraid of any problems."

Jiayin pointed towards the back of the village, "Grandpa Zhang regards his title of miracle doctor as a treasure.

“If I was seriously ill and asked for help because I said he couldn’t cure it, he would definitely blow his beard and glare!”

"You scared me to death!" Tao Hongying glared at her daughter, not taking this matter as a problem at all.

"Don't be afraid of this, it's easy. I'll cook right away, make a table of delicious food, and invite the miracle doctor Zhang over for a meal, and make sure he agrees happily."

Mrs. Li also said: "Just do it this way, Doctor Zhang will definitely agree.

"Besides, after the things in the city are over, you still have to recover. Then it will be enough to let him return to life."

With that said, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put aside the good news and carefully discussed the menu. They were all the dishes that Divine Doctor Zhang usually likes to eat, and they also added new dishes that they had recently thought about...

Sure enough, Doctor Zhang was invited over during dinner.

After they had had enough wine and food, Mrs. Li elaborated on the rumors in the city and the countermeasures they had come up with.

Zhang Shenyi was short-tongued and was highly praised by Tao Hongying and Jiayin. In addition, he was finally asked to "take action" and his reputation was not ruined, so he reluctantly agreed.

On the second day, Mrs. Li was busy making arrangements.

The immediate relatives and friends at home should be told secretly.

For example, the Liu family, Mrs. Jia's second wife, or Luo'an, so that everyone will not know the inside story and be seriously frightened.

As for the village, the village chief and Uncle Zhao know that with them restraining the villagers, they will not be afraid of mistakes.

Li Laoer wanted to make it clear so as not to delay his arrangements.

In short, Mrs. Li mobilized all resources and strength to protect her granddaughter from being "praised and killed".

You know, she is getting older and has not been a householder for the past two years.

Since her sons and daughters-in-law were filial, she would take care of herself in peace and contentment. She would have enough to eat and drink, wear nice and clean clothes, and walk around the village to talk to her old sisters.

 Occasionally when I’m bored, I go into the city to take a walk at the Earl’s Mansion, or go to Luoan to see my grandson.

Now after all this trouble, the old lady has found the courage and ruthlessness she had to grit her teeth and run away with her children and grandchildren!

Let's not talk about the troubles on the Li family's side, but in Xindu, when they got up early that morning, someone brought paste and a stack of paper and posted notices at the city gate and near taverns and teahouses in various places in the city.

When someone sees it, they will naturally ask, "What does this notice say? Is there anything going on at the government office?"

The young man who put up the notice was so busy with his hands that he started talking.
