Fu Yuling was indeed uncertain. Her original intention was that since Li Cuihua had already been arrested, she didn’t plan on seeking revenge anymore.
But now that the person hadn’t been taken away by them, she wouldn’t show mercy.
“If you see any trouble, let us know. Thanks in advance.”
Fu Yuling didn’t turn around, her expression complicated. She didn’t yes or no.
With this incident over, those people she saw yesterday were no longer around, and she wondered where Li Cuihua was.
Keeping this matter in her heart, she first returned home. He Wen was already in the kitchen. He Xuan was the first to notice her and ran over with a smile.
Fu Yuling set aside everything and lifted He Xuan, giving him two affectionate kisses before letting him go find He An.
“Xiao Wen, I have something to do in the room. The meal is ready, just call Xiao Xuan and Xiao An to come and eat together.”
The meaning was that she didn’t need to be called for dinner later.
He Wen nodded, showing rare concern for her.
“Come for dinner early.”
Fu Yuling smiled and playfully pinched his dirty little face, full of baby fat.
“Got it, little bad egg1This is an adjective usually used to call someone unscrupulous or with reference to a “bad person”. Obviously, Fu Yuling is joking when she said this.”
“I’m not a little bad egg…”
He Wen wanted to come over to explain.
From a distance came Fu Yuling’s teasing reply, “Yes, yes, not a little bad egg, but a little mimosa2It is a kind of plant that moves its leaves in a ‘shy’ way once touched. In Philippines, we called it “makahiya” that likes to be shy.”
Hmph! He wasn’t a mimosa. No one cared for or loved him in wind or rain.
He carried Fu Yuling’s words in his heart until later when he explained to Fu Yuling, who had already forgotten about it, and made her burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, He Wen himself distanced himself from her with a blackened face and retreated to a corner in self-seclusion.
No longer minding on how Fu Yuling called him, He Wen solemnly held the spatula and other cooking utensils, treating them as if they were precious items.
Instead of going to the room where the children were staying, Fu Yuling went to the original owner’s room.
She went to the space for a while, found several herbs, and came out.
In front of her was the grinding equipment Li Jian had previously given her. After sniffing a few times, she roughly estimated the amount and put the ingredients into the equipment, then she started the grinding process.
The grinding took a long time, especially to turn it into powder. It required a great deal of patience and energy.
She was sweating profusely, her hands already tired, but the clear image of the intense redness on He Wen’s face flashed in her mind, which calmed her down.
Take it slow. Since the police haven’t found Li Cuihua yet, she must still be in the village.
As long as the person was still here, Fu Yuling would have a chance to teach her a lesson.
During the time Fu Yuling was inside, something had already happened to Li Cuihua who was locked up.
When the villagers went to the place Li Cuihua had mentioned, they found that the people there had long since fled. They found nothing.
They didn’t come to see Li Cuihua yesterday because they were afraid of the police. But when they came to see her today, they found that both Li Cuihua and her mother were covered in a dense red rashes, which looked frightening.
“What should we do? Could they be dead?”
One of the villagers looked inside with fear at the two motionless figures lying on the ground.
The person who had locked Li Cuihua and her mother pondered for a moment and said, “If they’re dead, it’s what they deserve. Don’t forget who sold your children.”
As soon as this was mentioned, the villagers’ expressions changed.
“Yes, it’s better if they’re dead. A thousand knives for that murderer…”
…
“Go inside and take a look.”
The man was the first to enter, followed by the others.
He kicked Li Cuihua’s leg and said with a hint of harshness, “Still alive?”
