Wang Dagui saw Erya standing behind him and remembered that she was dead, yet she wanted to come back to take her life! So he pushed her down, grabbed her neck, and dragged her back to the cliff.

He said viciously, "Get down here, you money-loser! Arya, just stay at the bottom of the cliff! I'm not afraid of you! I'll kill anyone who comes my way, I'll beat you to death!"

He Cuihua saw Erya pinching her neck, trying to drag her to hell with her, but she was too strong to resist and could only choose to die together with her.

So both of them fell off the table, screaming in pain.

And Old Mrs. Wang in the bedroom was extremely excited!

She saw that her house was made of gold, her clothes and quilts were all made of silk and satin, and on the small golden table stood a treasure bowl as big as a bowl, with silver blocks of various shapes in it and two long gold bars next to it.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that they ran around like they had legs, and she couldn't catch them no matter how hard she tried.

Old Mrs. Wang stared closely at the two gold bars that fell to the ground. Finally, she lay on the ground with her butt sticking up, pounced forward like a hunter, grabbed the two gold bars in her hands, and laughed out loud.

Their family was crying and laughing in the middle of the night, making quite a noise, which prevented the nearby neighbors from sleeping and they all came to check.

Since Old Lady Wang was always unreasonable, they would definitely be blamed if they went in rashly, so the neighbors just listened at the door first.

Unexpectedly, they heard vague words like "push me", "kill you", "under the cliff". The neighbors looked at each other with their hair standing on end, and immediately thought of Erya, whose body was missing and buried hastily.

Could it be that Arya was killed by them?

Over there, Old Lady Wang's cries grew louder and louder. "My money's gone! Who's so audacious to take it?!"

The gossipy neighbors immediately turned around and left, locking the door tightly for fear of being harassed.

So, after the Wang family was exhausted, they fainted on the cold ground with foam at the mouth for a whole night, and no one knew what happened.

Oh, An Yan knew about it, but what bad intentions could she have? She had only planted a few poisonous mushrooms that looked very similar to non-toxic ones. They were only slightly poisonous. At most, they would cause hallucinations, vomiting and diarrhea, but they wouldn't kill her.

But it’s hard to say if they freeze for another night. What if the high fever doesn’t subside and everyone dies? Wouldn’t that be too easy for them?

Another small stone hit Wang Dagui right between his eyebrows. The pain made him struggle to wake up, his stomach churning with discomfort. His memory was still stuck on the time when he was pulled off the cliff by Erya. But when he looked up and saw the mess on the ground and his wife and daughter lying around, his mind suddenly became clear.

"Cuihua! Daya and Sanya!" Wang Dagui called each one but no one woke up. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stumbled to Old Lady Wang's room. As he expected, she was lying on the ground. "Mom! Wake up, Mom!"

He held his breath, stretched out his finger to touch under his nose, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was still breathing, he was still alive.

Time was of the essence. Wang Dagui endured the pain in his abdomen and hurried to search for the silver and money hidden in her room. He actually found two strings of copper coins and quickly stuffed them into his sleeves.

Wang Dagui looked outside and saw it was pitch black. The lights in the houses nearby had long been turned off, and his head started to ache. With four people unconscious at home, he could only knock on the door next door.

Wang Xiaoming, who was found at the door, secretly thought it was bad luck, but this family would kill people, so he could only admit that he was unlucky and ask the old doctor in the village for help.

The old doctor, who had been pulled out of bed in the middle of the night with a displeased look on his face, rushed over, rubbed his sleepy eyes, examined the symptoms, and frowned, "You're so old! We live off the land in this village, and it's rare for a family to be poisoned by a single mushroom."

The old doctor was an elder in the village. Wang Dagui blushed and lowered his head to listen to his lecture.

The old doctor gave them all acupuncture, and they all woke up faintly, but still looked confused. He wrote a prescription and asked them to pick up medicine the next day. Wang Dagui blushed and said that he would pay the consultation fee when he picked up the medicine tomorrow.

The old doctor knew his family's situation and left without saying much.

Wang Dagui coaxed Old Lady Wang to take out some copper coins. After what had happened, she was very weak and didn't have the energy to curse. She could only take out a few coins from her pillow and told him to go get some medicine quickly.

They rested at home for a few days and didn't work in the fields. They had no idea what kind of rumors were spreading outside.

When Wang Dagui was able to go out again, he always felt that the villagers looked at him strangely, but they didn't say anything. They just hastily attributed it to mushroom poisoning and laughed at him, then smiled awkwardly and left.

So I missed the opportunity to explain.

The villagers took into consideration that Wang Yucheng was the only educated person in the village and would not take the initiative to question him. It was not worth offending a future official for a little girl who was not loved by anyone.

But not asking doesn't mean they won't talk behind their backs. The Wang family won't be isolated, but there seems to be a layer of separation.

Old Lady Wang has always been able to isolate the entire village on her own, so she didn't feel much.

She feels like the sky is falling now!

Her silver was gone! It wasn't an illusion that the silver was running away. The hole in her wall had really been hollowed out. Not only were the ten taels of silver gone, but the two taels of silver she had saved up were also gone!

It was like she was going to die! She almost couldn't breathe and was about to collapse. But she tried her best to hold on and find the murderer who stole the silver!

Old Mrs. Wang roared and called the second son's family into her room. She stared at them fiercely and questioned them one by one.

The others didn't take it, so they didn't feel guilty at all and passed the test easily.

Wang Dagui stiffened his neck and said, "Mom, even if you favor the third child, you can't wrongly accuse others. Who can find the money you hid?"

Old Lady Wang's eyes were filled with tears and indignation. "That's twelve taels of silver! If it wasn't you who took it, then it must have been stolen!"

Wang Dagui and his family were so shocked that their eyes widened. They had never seen so much silver! "Mom, where did you get so much money?"

Old Lady Wang sighed, "I was the one who arranged the marriage for Erya, and she gave me the betrothal gift, but I never thought Erya would be so unlucky!"

Hearing Erya, Sanya thought of the face in the darkness and turned pale instantly, "Could it be that Erya knew that this was the money from selling her body, so she took it herself?"

Old Lady Wang's expression changed again and again. She slammed the edge of the bed, angrily trying to hide her fear: "If you can't talk, then shut up. What's the point of selling yourself for money? The Yang family is so rich. Marrying into them will only bring you happiness!"

Wang Dagui was about to say something when he heard someone knocking on the door.
