Now that everyone is busy, they like to join in the fun when they have nothing to do. Right now, they are still near the Si family, listening to Aunt Zhu's loudspeaker-like voice.

He told the story over and over again about how Mrs. Zhu killed Daya and Si Ya, and how she got rid of the baby girl in Aunt Zhu's belly. He also brought up the incident of taking Zhu Xiaomei and Zhu Laosi to the mountain, but only bringing back Zhu Laosi.

Naturally, everyone in the Si family knew about the commotion. Mrs. Zhu listened to the noise outside, her face turned pale, and she looked like she had lost all hope in life.

Si Muyan originally wanted to ask Mrs. Zhu what happened, but seeing her like this, she knew that she would get nothing out of her, so she said, "Mrs. Zhu, I'm going to go check on Erya now. Don't worry. Xiao An just heard that the doctor has already gone there, and Erya will be fine."

Mrs. Zhu finally responded and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you..."

But after Si Muyan left, Mrs. Zhu still hesitated and got up, just in time to meet her second sister coming in to bring her medicine.

"Mrs. Zhu, why are you up? Lie down and rest, and drink this medicine."

Mrs. Zhu's arm was injured and it was really painful. She took the bowl with her left hand and drank all the medicine in one gulp. She said, "Tong girl, I want to go see Erya..."

Ermei had initially suspected, based on what was said outside, that Granny Zhu really didn't like girls, and that's why she deliberately hurt Erya yesterday. But now Granny Zhu looked clearly concerned about Erya's health.

"What happened yesterday? Mrs. Zhu, did you really threaten Erya?"

"I don't have any." Mrs. Zhu grabbed Ermei's sleeve and said, "Tong girl, there are too many people outside. I can't get through. Please help me. I want to go see Erya."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although Ermei was stubborn, she was also a soft-hearted person. Seeing Zhu Pozi like this, she felt that she must have her own difficulties. Moreover, she was just going to see Erya. With Zhu Pozi like this, it was impossible for her to hurt Erya.

"Ok."

The second sister collected the bowls and took Mrs. Zhu to go to Aunt Zhu's house through the back door.

At this time, Aunt Zhu had been talking at the door of the Si family for a long time when a basin of sewage splashed out and almost splashed on Aunt Zhu's feet.

The younger sister came out with a sullen face and scolded, "What are you arguing about? It's killing me this early in the morning. If you don't rest, we still need to rest. Go away!"

"Hey, you little girl..." Aunt Zhu was very unhappy.

But when it comes to quarrels, the younger sister is now a little experienced. She yelled, "Why don't you leave? What's going on? Are you bullying me because I'm young? How old are you? Are you senile? Running to someone else's door to make trouble?"

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.

The younger brother inside shrank his neck and offered a suggestion: "Third sister, it's okay to lose your temper, but slamming the door is inappropriate. This is our door. It's not worth it if it breaks."

"What do you want to do? Useless guy, go ahead if you have the guts."

The little sister cursed while looking at her own front door, thinking that this sturdy door should not be broken by herself.

Seeing that she had made such a fuss but still failed to get Mrs. Zhu out, Aunt Zhu was very unhappy. She rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go see Erya. That little girl is really pitiful."

Those who had nothing to do in the village and those who had a good relationship with the Zhu family all went to Zhu Laosan's house.

As soon as we got here, we saw a big cow peeking out, and a villager said.

"Mother Daniu, isn't this your Daniu? Speaking of which, I think I saw Daniu yesterday. He went up the mountain with Dachun, Xiaoniu, and Erya. They must have gone to pick mushrooms."

"Daniel should know something, why not ask him?"

Aunt Zhu immediately shouted, "Daniu, what are you doing?"

Da Niu was startled. When he turned around and saw so many people, he was shocked and took two steps back.

But Tiechui's father happened to be nearby and grabbed him and said, "Why are you hiding? Are you here to see Erya's sister?"

A group of people surrounded him and asked, "Did your sister Erya go up the mountain with you yesterday?"

"Have you seen your grandma? Did she bully Arya?"

Daniu could only retreat, trying to run away, but he was squeezed so tightly together that he couldn't leave. His eyes darted back and forth as he listened to them talk about what happened yesterday afternoon, feeling terrified. Until he heard the last sentence...

What? They said that Grandma bullied Erya?

Daniel became thoughtful.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang asked, "Daniu, I'm asking you a question, why are you hiding?"

It was Aunt Zhu who said, "You all want to ask if his grandma wants to harm Erya, but his grandma is not good to girls and is very good to boys. He is the eldest grandson and his grandma loves him the most. Of course he can't bear to say anything bad about his grandma."

"That's true. But Daniel, your grandma wants to harm Arya, you can't hide it from her. Was it your grandma who scared Arya yesterday?"

Daniu swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Yesterday... while picking mushrooms... I saw Grandma."

After all, he is only an eight-year-old child and cannot think so far ahead when he lies. Besides, he thinks that he didn't say anything, so it doesn't count as a lie.

Although they didn't explicitly say that Mrs. Zhu scared Erya, they confirmed that they had seen Mrs. Zhu yesterday. Erya had convulsions and a high fever at night, which must be related to Mrs. Zhu.

Aunt Zhu's voice rose a few degrees: "Let me tell you, my mother-in-law can't stand seeing Erya get along well. Judge for yourself, she doesn't even live with us anymore, so why can't she stand seeing her own granddaughter get along well?"

With Da Niu's testimony, it seemed more certain that Mrs. Zhu wanted to harm Erya.

The families of Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi who rushed over looked at each other in surprise, especially Aunt Zhu Si, who was not pregnant yet. When she heard that Erya was sick because of Mrs. Zhu, she thought of her own little Sister Si and felt the same way.

He hurried into the house, looked at Erya, then looked at Sanya, who was the same age as Siya, and carried Sanya to the yard to feed her porridge.

Aunt Zhu was the softest of all. After inquiring about Erya's condition, she returned to the courtyard and said loudly, "All right, all right. Don't worry. Erya is fine. Her fever has subsided and she's asleep. Sister-in-law, please stop arguing or you'll wake the child."

"You really have the best temper. The daughter in your belly was killed by her, and you don't care?" Aunt Zhu shouted loudly, and almost everyone could hear it.

Mrs. Zhu was supported by her second sister and walked over. She was stunned when she heard this and stood in the corner without moving.

Aunt Zhu said calmly, "Sister-in-law, I wasn't there to know about Daya and Siya's affairs, so of course I can't say anything. But the child I lost was probably an accident on my part, and it had nothing to do with mother-in-law. Please don't mention it anymore."
