Zhang Baoli's mouth was quickly covered.

The noises of his struggles gradually died down.

The two men slowly laid him on the ground, still holding his hands, squatting and looking around vigilantly. After waiting for a long time, they tried to check his breath.

"Dead yet?"

"What do you say? Let's go."

After the two people left, a paper man staggered over, picked up the blood-stained towel on the ground, and quickly retreated into the darkness.

Su Chen shook his hand, and the towel quickly turned into ashes.

Liu Chunhua finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"Let's go home."

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, cries of fear echoed throughout Lotus Village.

Luo Zhili walked to the poolside with a cold face and a coat on. He lowered his head and carefully checked Zhang Baoli's condition, cursing inwardly: "Who did this kid offend again?"

Then he reminded those around him: "Stop crowding around. If we destroy all the evidence, how will the police solve the case?"

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called the police.

After hanging up, he called a few villagers to maintain order and then called out to the villagers living nearby: "Did you hear any noise last night?"

Liu Laosi hid behind the crowd and did not dare to go up to check Zhang Baoli's body. When he saw Luo Zhili turning around and walking towards him, he immediately ran home with a guilty conscience.

Luo Zhili also saw it, but didn't take it seriously.

I thought Liu Laosi was frightened by the bloody scene. After all, everyone in the Liu family is timid.

Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise in the villa.

Because they were going on a spring outing, the little ones tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. They didn't fall asleep until after 1 a.m., and ended up waking up at 3 or 4 a.m.

Liu Chunhua looked at the several schoolbags placed on the coffee table and couldn't help but unzip them and check them carefully again.

"Where's the water? You're not bringing any water?"

"Do you know how far it is to walk from here to the river? The sun is still strong these days. Do you want to die of thirst without water?"

And he cried again, "July, July, fill the children's water bottles."

Su Xiaozhu was also woken up early and yawned as she reminded him, "Okay, wash one apple each and put it in your schoolbag."

The apples were distributed by the library this month. There was a bag of 20 apples. They were small, but fortunately they were very sweet.

Su Chen walked downstairs holding Acai in one hand and little Ayun in the other, and immediately saw Honghong and the others chattering around the coffee table.

"Mom, do they have hats?"

Liu Chunhua slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me, why didn't I think of the hat?"

She thought about it carefully and said, "Only Ah Cai has one."

"Can I have a bamboo hat?"

A Peng immediately shook his head: "I don't want a bamboo hat. It's so ugly. My classmates will laugh at me if I wear it to school."

"What should we do? How can we bear being exposed to the sun for a whole day?" Liu Chunhua was anxious.

Old Man Su said nonchalantly: "Didn't we sunbathe like this before?"

"What do you know, old man?"

Liu Chunhua glanced at him and said, "When we lived in the village, every child had a dark complexion. Now we all live in the city, and city kids are all fair-skinned. If Apeng and his friends get tanned again, they'll be laughed at."

Su Chen thought about it carefully: "Wait a minute."

He dug out the cosmetics that Chen Yan had given him earlier, searched carefully, and took out a bottle: "Here, sunscreen, it won't get you tanned easily."

Liu Chunhua was curious: "Where did this thing come from?"

Su Chen briefly explained, and after they applied the ointment to the children, he reminded them, "Sister, here are three sets. You take one, Mom keeps one, and the third sister takes one. I'll go buy a few more sets from her later and give some to my sister-in-law and the other sisters."

"I don't want it. Just give it to Xiaohua directly. Don't waste the money. How expensive is this set?" Liu Chunhua frowned and waved her hands.

Su Chen smiled: "That girl works in a cosmetics company. She must have given it to me at cost price, not expensive."

"Besides, Mom, if you use more cosmetics, you will definitely outshine your good sisters when you return to the village during the holidays."

Liu Chunhua's eyes lit up: "Well, then I'll keep one set. It's just these bottles and jars, and I don't know how to apply them."

She looked at Su Xiaozhu, who also shook her head.

"How about I take them to the workplace and ask them for advice?"

"I can see it."

Before dawn, Honghong and the others had already eaten breakfast and were staring at the clock hanging on the wall with their schoolbags on their backs.

Su Chen shook his head.

Old Man Su couldn't bear to watch: "If you want to go to school so badly, I'll send you there now, don't wait."

Several people stood up in surprise.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Liu Chunhua suddenly remembered and reminded them: "Apeng, don't be too greedy. Eat everything before you get to school!"

A Peng was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Grandma, I won't do that!"

Su Chen watched them walk away, asked Acai, and seeing that he wanted to follow, he took the little guy to the teahouse.

In just one day, the teahouse changed dramatically.

There is a pavilion in the backyard with a stone table and stone benches in it. The originally sparse flower beds are now full of flowers and plants. There are also several kinds of rare orchids.

At this moment, Old Song was touching it lovingly.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Su Chen, and said proudly: "Last night, there was a big renovation next door, and these are extra. Hehe, it's a bargain for me!"

Song Shishi came out of the house and rolled her eyes when she saw this.

"Grandpa, can you be a little more promising?"

"How can I be so useless? I resisted the huge temptation and didn't rent out the room. That's a thousand dollars!"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "So many? One month or one year?"

Old Song was heartbroken: "If it were only a year, I wouldn't be so heartbroken that I can't sleep. Master Su, look at the dark circles under my eyes..."

"Since I'm so pitiful, could you please help me get treated?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "20 per time."

Old Song looked resentful: "Master Su, we are old acquaintances, so why don't you pay?"

"The price is clearly marked, and no one is cheated."

Old Song wailed.

Song Shishi rolled her eyes again.

"Master Su, leave him alone."

"How could he be so heartbroken he couldn't sleep? Yesterday, he shamelessly bought all the leftover furniture and ornaments from the neighboring house where my boss was renovating. The house is almost full. I bet he's been up all night trying to figure out how to sell them."

Old Song coughed lightly a few times and said, "No, whose granddaughter are you?"

Song Shishi glanced at him and quickly laughed again: "Master Su, the renovations next door were completed overnight. Do you want to go over and take a look? There are rooms for you on both sides."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Mine?"

"Well, the boss said that it's too tiring for you to sit and set up the stall all day. Sometimes fortune-telling for customers needs to be kept secret, so having a room would be much more convenient."

"How's it going? Is my boss very considerate?"

Su Chen: "..."

"I don't know if she's considerate or not, but you're really a bit of a bootlicker!"

As he spoke, he gestured, "Lead the way."
