soldier went to look for ripples.Ripple used this time to take a shower and eat something. Hearing Xiao Zhan's report, she went to the courtyard and saw five people already soaked in glutinous rice w...The ripples also heard Yaomei's screams. She propped herself up, slowly put on her clothes, and then walked out of the room.

At this time, Yao Mei's face was pale white as she sat on the ground in the yard, still using her hands and feet to back away. It was obvious that she was frightened out of her wits.

Ripple didn't have a good relationship with this person, so she didn't bother to ask. Anyway, she already knew what was going on. She simply supported her stomach and frowned at her.

Yao Mei felt like her soul had been scared out of her body. Who would have thought that after she finished using the toilet and threw the used toilet paper in the pit, she saw two little feet in it She was so frightened that she scrambled out of the outhouse.

Probably because the little girl screamed so terribly, a neighbor came knocking on the door and asked in a gruff voice:

"What's wrong Is the second brother's daughter-in-law not being honest"

Ripple rolled her eyes and scooted over to open the door.

The burly man outside saw the ripples with their protruding belly, and he was surprised for a moment. Immediately, his unfaithful eyes circled Ripple's chest and stomach, making her feel even more nauseous. If she were using her own body right now, she would definitely gouge out the other person's eyes.

"Big sister, who was just calling"

"She is my second older brother's sister, and I also"

Before the ripples of words could finish, Yao Mei rushed up and flung the door wide open, addressing the burly man:

"Uncle, something happened at my house, there's someone in the latrine."

"Who is it"

The burly man was also taken aback, strode into the room, and asked directly.

Yao Meimei regained her composure and saw that Lian Yi, the pregnant woman, had come out. Then she recalled those little feet and her face turned even paler.

"Uncle, it might be my mother who fell into the latrine."

"Huh I'll go get someone to pull them up."

The strong man immediately turned and left the yard to call for help.

Ripple didn't have any expression, she just stood far away and didn't mean to come forward to comfort her. This made Yaomei even more angry, she glared at Ripple hatefully, wanting to tear the other person apart.

She let out a ripple effect of fear, but pretended not to notice. She took two steps back and even touched her stomach, obviously reminding the other party that she was currently someone they couldn't move against.

The ripple's reminder clearly worked, Yaomei saw the ripples on Ripple's stomach, and only then did she come back to her senses. She glared fiercely at Ripple and rushed into the house, going straight to her mother's bedroom.

In less than five minutes, several burly men and a few women dressed as old ladies entered Qiao Lao Er's yard and went straight to the privy.

After half a day's effort, the body was pulled out. It turned out to be Old Joe's, and only then did Yo-Mei start crying her eyes out.

Ripples purposely vomited twice, but finally couldn't stand it any longer. She covered her nose and went inside. Anyway, she wasn't the main character at this moment.

Joe Wu was invited again, and as he looked at the body washed simply in the courtyard, he covered his nose. The smell was just too overpowering.

"What's wrong Fell in the toilet"

"Five Elders, please take a look."

"What's there to look at These are dead people. I look at the living."

Qiao Wu Bo said.

"Her mother is usually very nimble on her feet, how did she fall into the latrine"

Even though she's nimble, she's still an old woman with small feet. It's normal that she didn't notice in the dark. What do you want to do about it

Joe Five scolded another old lady with droopy eyes.

"My cousin, I'm just asking out of curiosity. After all, my youngest sister's mother usually keeps chamber pots in the house and wouldn't go to the toilet at night."

The old woman voiced her suspicions. As neighbors and close friends, she truly knew about the other's lifestyle habits.

This time, before Fifth Uncle could speak, the youngest sister explained:

My second brother has been home these past few days. He complained that the urinal smelled bad and didn't want it in the house. My mother might have gone out to relieve herself in the dark and that's how she fell in.

The little sister here has calmed down now. She thinks that if their mother dies, she dies, and all her mother's private money will be hers.

So once this person had passed away after the path was cleared, she wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible so she could go and look through her mother's private money.

Finally, the village head of Qiaojiagou came by and declared it an accident. After all, the old woman was almost seventy, and according to them, she had lived a long enough life.

"The weather is hot right now, although it's cooler in the mountains, but the body can't be left for too long. Inform Joe Lao Er to come back and arrange the funeral first."

The village head waved his hand.

"Yes, village chief!"

Yaomei can't wait for her mother to be buried soon. Not only does she smell bad, but she's also quite frightening. Now, Yaomei does everything with her second brother's wife for courage. When it gets dark, she doesn't even dare to go to the bathroom.

Even ripples wouldn't despise her, because all she needs is to eat well, drink well, and take good care of her body.

Yo-mei still wanted her to cook, Lian-yi thought the other person was delusional, and flatly rejected her.

"Aren't you afraid I'll poison you in your food"

"Dare you"

"I'm not able to, but I know that if I don't eat well or sleep well, the baby in my belly will suffer, and you definitely won't be happy either."

Ripples touched her belly calmly and said.

Qi's younger sister was so furious that she wanted to poke a hole in Lianyi's belly. Eighteen ways to kill her flashed through her mind, but in the end, she could only grit her teeth and cook.

Liàn Yī was afraid that the other person would spit in her food, so she reluctantly went to the kitchen to start a fire. This somewhat improved Yāo Mèi's mood.

Even on the day of her burial, the old woman didn't wait for her second son. In the end, she could only have a relative from her family break a vase and finish the funeral arrangements.

The village head was still whispering with Uncle Joe Five.

"Joe the Second is looking to make a big score this time, even skipping his own mother's funeral."

"With his character, he only cares about money and his son; everything else can just get out of the way."

Joe's elder brother said dismissively.

The two of them mumbled a few words to each other and then dispersed.

The large courtyard felt a bit lifeless without one person, especially since Liàn Yī was uncharacteristically quiet and didn't even speak to her younger sister.

Yaomei, besides making delicious food for Lianyi on time every day, locked the gate from outside and went to play with her friends. She didn't want to go to the outhouse even during the day, as it was unbearably stuffy.

Yo-me's working hard, coming out early and returning late, which allows ripples to feel more at ease. She's just focusing on taking care of her health; she hasn't done anything else. With the old woman recently deceased, it's not a good time to make a move against Yo-me. It would be best to wait for Qiao Lao Er to return before making any decisions, otherwise, it would surely arouse suspicion from the villagers.

Ripple had found peace in her simple life, but things were not going well for Qiao Lao Er. He and Xiao Liu were stopped by the police while delivering goods in a cargo truck late at night.

At first, he only checked his driver's license and vehicle registration, and let him go. He was relieved, but then he was stopped again.

The police officer who stopped the car didn't say anything about checking the cargo, he just kept asking irrelevant questions and wouldn't let him go. Just as he started to suspect something, the other party also said angrily:

"Don't you know the rules We worked hard all night checking vehicles to ensure your safety. Don't you have any appreciation"

Joe the Second only now realized it, he had truly overlooked it. When he was stopped for the second time, he should have understood the other party's meaning.one in the courtyard, I presented these things to the guards. They received them with gratitude for my gifts. That Tang Zi Jun was so angry she almost fainted.If it weren't for the woman there at the...
