Chapter 15: Finding the Murderer

Xu Shi was so frightened by Su's voice that he shuddered, and silently leaned closer to An Manyue's side.

An Manyue looked at the old daughter-in-law on the side and almost hung on her, she was really dead, but she didn't talk about Xu, she was afraid that Xu's weak heart would be hurt, so she ignored Xu's directly, raised her eyes to look at Su, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"We, our poultry and livestock are dead!" Su Shi cried urgently, raised his hand to wipe his tears, "They were all fine in the morning, why are they all dead all of a sudden?" ”

How could Su Shi not be in a hurry, how could the chickens, ducks and pigs add up to more than twenty taels of silver, and they were all gone......

An Manyue patted Xu's hand, signaled Xu to let go of himself, followed Su towards the backyard, just took two steps, looked back at Xu who came up, and comforted: "Don't come with you, go back to the house to rest." ”

"Hey." Xu Shi walked back to the stone bench and sat uneasily, holding his stomach, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

An Manyue rarely comes to the backyard, after all, she doesn't do these menial jobs, and at this time she saw chickens, ducks and pigs all falling to the ground.

An Manyue turned her head to look at the Su clan and said, "You go and see how other people's livestock are doing." ”

Su Shi sniffed, wiped away his tears, and walked outside.

If it's just a simple animal that dies, An Manyue will think that the animal is sick, but all of them are dead, then something is wrong.

Could it be that someone poisoned it?

An Manyue walked back to the front yard, and saw Xu Shi looking at him worriedly, and hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry." ”

After saying that, An Manyue didn't care what Xu thought, went back to the room to get the silver needle, and returned to the backyard again.

After testing, An Manyue was completely sure that someone had poisoned his livestock.

"Mother!" Su Shi walked back from outside panting, his eyes were red, and said, "Other people's livestock are fine, but our livestock is gone." ”

Su Shi looked at the corpses of chickens, ducks and pigs, tears fell again, and blamed himself: "It's all my fault, if I can raise them well, they won't become like this, woo woo......"

"It's none of your business." An Manyue breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Bring firewood and burn it all." ”

"Burn, burn?" Su Shi tried his best to suppress the whimper, but the tears still rolled down like broken threads and pearls.

"If someone poisons someone, if someone eats it, they will also be poisoned, what are you going to do if you don't burn it?" An Manyue said, raised her feet and walked to the corner of the wall and began to hold firewood, seeing Su Shi standing there without moving, her brows frowned, "Are people important or are these things important?" ”

Su Shi was really uncomfortable, she lit firewood while crying, and threw the chickens and ducks into the fire with her own hands, and the pigs were carried over by her and her mother-in-law to burn.

Three or four months of hard work was in vain, and Su Shi remembered that he had worked hard to feed them every day, and looked forward to them growing up every day, but it was gone......

Dinner was still made by An Manyue, the eldest daughter-in-law was not at home, the second daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the third daughter-in-law was crying in the room.

An Manyue feels that she is really the best mother-in-law in the world, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find a second mother-in-law as good as her in the whole world.

When Ning Yongchuan came back from outside, he went to find An Manyue as soon as possible, and when he saw that she was cooking, his eyebrows twisted up unhappily.

An Manyue added some firewood to the stove, then washed his hands, walked to Ning Yongchuan's side, and couldn't wait to ask, "Have you redeemed it?" ”

"It's redeemed, but her mother-in-law's family doesn't seem to want her to go home." Ning Yongchuan sat on the stool with a headache and said in a low voice, "What is written in the back of the book?" ”

"I want to think about it......" An full moon is a headache.

Ning Yongchuan looked at An Manyue intently.

After a while.

"I still can't remember," An Manyue looked at Ning Yongchuan with a guilty face, Zhou Xiaocui was just a passerby in the novel, she swept her eyes when she read the novel, and didn't remember it at all, "Then what do you think we should do?" ”

"It's better to let them reconcile and remarry Xiaocui to find someone farther away." Ning Yongchuan thought of countermeasures on the way home, but he wanted to hear the arrangements in the novel first.

When An Manyue was about to say something, he heard the sound of boiling water, hurriedly got up and walked towards the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, took the spoon and stirred it twice, and then looked at Ning Yongchuan: "Just do what you say." ”

"Tomorrow, you go to Li's house with me, and you go and ask Xiaocui's mother-in-law what she means."

The "Li family" in Ning Yongchuan's mouth is Xiaocui's in-law's family.

"That's Cheng," An Manyue looked back and smiled at Ning Yongchuan, "When the time comes, let's listen to what Xiaocui thinks." ”

"Why are you cooking dinner?" After finishing the business, Ning Yongchuan finally asked the question in his heart.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, our chickens, ducks and pigs were poisoned," An Manyue closed the lid of the pot, walked to Ning Yongchuan's side again, and sighed, "Those were raised by the third daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law cried so pitifully, I don't want the third daughter-in-law to cook dinner, the second daughter-in-law is pregnant, I'm afraid that she has fetal gas, and the eldest daughter-in-law is not at home, I can't let Xueyu cook dinner, she is young, it's okay to learn from the girl, I'm afraid of tiring her by doing these jobs." ”

"Why don't you buy a maid?" Ning Yongchuan was really reluctant to do these rough jobs with An Manyue, he hoped that An Manyue would always pretend to be mature in front of outsiders like he is now, and be simple and harmless in front of himself.

"Let's buy it when the family has money!" An Manyue really doesn't like the stove room, the smoke is big, just when she made shredded meat sauce, she almost choked out of breath, she now hopes that the heroine will quickly do the decoration, the heroine in the text built a house and then cooperated with the carpenter in the town, the introduction of modern technology, but the heroine never mentioned the decoration business later, she can't wait to see the marble stove and flush toilet.

"I painted one painting the other day, and I'll sell it when I paint two more." Ning Yongchuan thought about the livestock at home and asked, "Have you found out who poisoned it?" ”

"I don't think I can find out." An Manyue sighed lightly and said, "There are no cameras in this world, and there are no strange footprints in the backyard when I check it, and there are other things, not to mention, only outsiders can attack our livestock, and our family will not do this no matter how careless they are, but this is not good, maybe someone thinks we are biased and deliberately vents their anger!" ”

"It's possible." Ning Yongchuan lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his thoughts, "Raise a dog to watch the house." ”

"Well, put it in the front yard to watch the house." An Manyue was worried that the dog would be poisoned in the backyard, and she was more worried about whether the person who poisoned the dog would attack the Ning family than if the dog was poisoned, so she thought about it and asked.

Ning Yongchuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "What you said is very reasonable, it is better to close the backyard, the front yard will not let anyone in, as for the water we drink and eat, all of them will be tested with a silver needle when they are on the dinner table." ”

"I'm afraid that my second daughter-in-law will have a fetal gas." An Manyue said this, her eyes rolled to Ning Yongchuan's ear, and she whispered.

"Just do as you say." Ning Yongchuan looked at An Manyue with an appreciative expression, his eyes gentle and doting.

At dinner, Ning Yongchuan told the story of someone poisoning the Ning family's livestock at the dinner table, completely ignoring the stunned and angry eyes of everyone, and then said: "If you guess correctly, that person may have an enmity with our family!" ”

"What?" Xu Shi's little face turned pale with fright, his body was half leaning on her man, and his voice trembled, "Dad, what can I do?" ”

"Old Er, from tomorrow, you will take your daughter-in-law to live in the grain store, and no matter what you eat, you will try it with a silver needle, you know?" An Manyue saw Lao Er nodding, and then said softly to Xu, "Lao Er Daughter-in-law, you are worried, the town is safe." ”

"Everyone else stayed at home." Ning Yongchuan said calmly, "The big room guards the first half of the night, the third room guards the second half of the night, it's okay if no one comes, if someone comes, knock on the iron basin to warn, and others should have a guard."

"Dad, how long is this vigil going to take?" Ning Zeren asked cheekily, although he gave up this exam, he still had to take it next year, and he didn't want to waste his time on this kind of thing.

"All night vigils in the future." When Ning Yongchuan said this, he glanced at the silent Li from the corner of his eye, and then said, "Until that person is caught." ”

"Oh." Ning Zeren replied in disappointment, and the time for studying was shortened again.

Li's eyes dodged to the side and did not speak.

After dinner, Ning Yongchuan and An Manyue washed up and went back to the room.

"Sure enough, it was made by our family, and the eldest daughter-in-law's face was wrong." Ning Yongchuan took off his shoes and got on the bed, affirming.

"Could it be that the eldest daughter-in-law did it?" An Manyue climbed into the bed, half-lying down, and propped up her head, "But why did she do this, did she know that the boss deliberately did not take the exam, or was she angry because we didn't give the boss the money to buy the exam questions?" ”

"I don't know." Ning Yongchuan lay down, helped An Manyue pull up the quilt, and affirmed, "Tomorrow will be the case!" ”

Will it?

An Manyue thinks that Li is not so stupid.

Ning Yongchuan didn't want to talk to An Manyue about the Ning family anymore, so he talked to An Manyue about the modern school days, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became.

However, someone is restless at this point.

Li Shi pulled the handkerchief, raised his eyes to look at his man, then turned his head to the side, and said in a low voice: "I looked for the master yesterday, and the master said that as long as a hundred taels of silver, he will give us the exam questions, but you are good, you can't take the exam if you fall your leg, it's really useless." ”

Ning Zeren looked up at Li, lowered his head and continued to read, and said indifferently: "Even if you win the ranking this time, it won't be good, it's better to participate next year, by the way, aren't you going to ask for silver today, how about it, did you give you money!" ”

Speaking of this, the Li family was even more panicked, leaned into Ning Zeren's ear, and whispered a few words.

"What, you killed the livestock?" Ning Zeren gasped and exclaimed.
