Chapter 428

The Guo family finally died, and many people in the village applauded. It was really the 'plague' that made the villagers hate their family.

Now that she is finally dead, many villagers secretly start killing chickens to pay respects to their relatives who died due to the 'plague'.

It stands to reason that when a person dies, he should buy a coffin for burial, but Guo's descendants love money as much as she does, so they are not willing to spend this money.

"Sister-in-law, after mother's death, you will be the master of the family. If you don't pay for the coffin, why don't you ask me, a married girl, to buy it?" Hua Xiaoqiao pointed at Wang's nose and spat.

When she heard that Mrs. Guo had died early in the morning, Mrs. Wang was surprised at first, then moved her body to the main room, and sneaked into Guo's room to search for silver when no one was looking.After her unremitting efforts, she finally found the place where Guo's silver was hidden.

Wang found a total of more than 50 taels from Guo's house, which was enough to buy a coffin, but she didn't want to take it out.

"Xiaoqiao, it's not that my sister-in-law doesn't want to buy it, it's that I don't have any money. I have been the head of the family all these years. Since our cloth village was sold and the field was sold, I don't even have a copper coin." Wang said with a mournful face. Said, how pitiful and pitiful.

Hua Xiaoqiao doesn't believe her, because Mrs. Wang has never been a good person in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, are you really not paying this money?" Hua Xiaoqiao looked at Wang angrily.

If she doesn't give out the money, as a daughter, Hua Xiaoqiao can't sit idly by even if she doesn't want to.

Seeing that Hua Xiaoqiao wanted to compromise, Mrs. Wang was very happy in her heart, but she was embarrassed on the face: "Xiaoqiao, it's really that my sister-in-law has no money, it's not that she doesn't want to help my mother buy a coffin."

The eldest brother is gone, and the mother is also gone. I will not come back to this natal family in the future.

Hua Xiaoqiao thought so, and pulled Qiao Gui into the room to talk: "My son's father, you see, mother has left, the 5000 taels that man said are all ours."

Only Guo Shi, Hua Xiaoqiao, and Qiao Gui knew about this matter.

Qiao Gui had thought about this a long time ago, and now after hearing Hua Xiaoqiao say it, he just said seriously: "The money should belong to us."

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't refute, she looked outside the house: "My son's father, the coffin is not as good as we can buy it with money."

Thinking that a good coffin is only five taels of silver, which is a drop in the bucket compared to 5000 taels, Qiao Gui nodded in agreement.

Because of Guo's death, Hua Wenshu and Hua Wenbao, who were studying at the academy in the town, rushed back.

When they rushed home, the coffin that Hua Xiaoqiao asked someone to buy from the town was also brought back.

Ever since they found out that Mrs. Guo was dead in the morning, no one in the family thought about washing her and putting on new clothes.

After seeing the coffin being transported back, just move Guo's body in and it's over.

Hua Qiuhong, who has become the hostess of the Du Mansion, heard about this and thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be a good day for her to rectify her body. Naturally, she didn't want to go back to suffer bad luck, so she only sent her maid to mourn.

There are very few people in the village who come to worship, which shows that the Guo family is really unpopular in the village.

Watching the sky gradually darken, there has been no movement at Meihuaju.

"Father, it's the third day. Why has there been no news from Hua Dashan?" If Hua Dashan survived, wouldn't it be impossible to get the 5000 taels?

Hua Xiaoqiao was very anxious, afraid that her dream of getting rich would come to nothing.

"Don't worry, it's not dark yet, let's wait, maybe Hua Dashan and Mrs. Mei will be dead tomorrow."

Qiao Gui and Hua Xiaoqiao tried the poison with mice, and they died the next day.

It stands to reason that even if it doesn't take two days for a person to eat it, he should die on the third day. This was what the man told them himself.

Hua Xiaoqiao and his wife were very anxious, but they didn't dare to go to Meihuaju to confirm, so as not to cause trouble.

There is a wake at night, but Mrs. Wang and her sons are not happy about this kind of hard work, so this unlucky thing is pushed to Guo Zhilan.

Guo Zhilan, who was dissatisfied, could only stay in the main room to watch the spirit even if she didn't like it, but the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, Guo was alive and well last night, why did she die when she found out this morning?
Guo Zhilan was thinking about things while burning paper money.

Suddenly, she heard movement outside the door, so she got up and quietly walked to the door to listen.

"...Aren't you too naive to ask for money even if the matter is not done?" This person spoke in a cold voice, full of sarcasm.

"However, we were all poisoned, so it has nothing to do with us that Hua Dashan didn't die. If we want to blame it, it's because the poison you gave didn't work!" Hua Xiaoqiao said in a bad tone.

The man in black almost wanted to strangle her, but finally held back.

"You guys better stop talking nonsense, or you won't know what's dead!" After the man in black finished speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, a gust of cool wind blew in, and strange sounds of animals suddenly came from the mountain behind the village. Hua Xiaoqiao and Qiao Gui were so frightened that they ran back to the room, and they didn't dare to think about Yinzi anymore.

Guo Zhilan, who was hiding behind the door of the main room, was completely frightened when she heard what Hua Xiaoqiao said. She covered her mouth and walked back to the mourning hall tremblingly, but her heart was uneasy.

It seems that this family can't stay anymore, otherwise I don't know how I will die someday.

The next day, to put on a show, Wang and her sons kept vigil in the hall so that the villagers could see them when they came.

Guo Zhilan, who had been guarding her all night, was coaxed back to sleep by Wang's gentle voice. She did this only to tarnish Guo Zhilan's reputation in front of the villagers.

Hua Xiaoqiao's family didn't speak when they saw her, they knelt quietly aside, and they left Qingshui Village only after Guo's burial was completed three days later.

As for the 5000 taels of silver, they didn't dare to think about it. That person came and went without a trace. It was too easy to kill their family. It is better to leave quickly in order to save their lives.

At this time, when Guo Zhilan, who left the main room, passed the room where Mrs. Wang lived, she suddenly thought of how she was rummaging around in Mrs. Guo's room yesterday. slip in.

The old woman had a happy face when she came out of her aunt's room. She must have found the money.

Since you don't want to stay in this house, you should take more money with you, so that you won't be afraid of starving to death when you go out.

After making up her mind, Guo Zhilan began to search in Wang's room.

After a while, she found the place where Wang's money was hidden under the wardrobe and under the bed.

Guo Zhilan did a rough calculation, and there were as many as 80 taels.

After finding the silver, Guo Zhilan tidied up the mess, then rushed back to her east compartment, and bolted the door from the inside.

*
Seeing that Xiangwu was approaching, Hua Qian ordered Wuqiu to drive her to the town.

On the way, when the carriage passed by an ox cart, Hua Qian saw Guo Zhilan on it and couldn't help but take another look before putting down the curtain.

And Guo Zhilan also saw Hua Qian, she pretended not to care and looked away, talking to a woman in the car, but she was really nervous.
