Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chapter 371 Letter from Brother He

Just as the patrol team was having a heated discussion outside the yard, suddenly, wisps of black smoke floated out of the yard. The smoke became thicker and thicker and gradually spread.

Then, the Zhao family members shouted at the top of their lungs: "Help! Someone is killing someone! Help!"

When the patrolmen heard the terrified cries for help, they kicked open the Zhao family's door without hesitation and rushed into the yard like a gust of wind.

The scene before them shocked them: the Zhao family members were tied up and laid horizontally on a rack, with firewood piled beneath them and black smoke rising from the firewood. They didn't dare to delay and rushed to rescue them.

At this moment, Aunt Wu also rushed in. Her eyes did not linger on the other members of the Zhao family. Instead, she ran straight to Cuihua, whose eyes were dull, and reached out to take her pulse. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her expression was very solemn.

Tian Guilan shouted angrily, "Auntie Wu, why are you looking at that lunatic? We were the ones who got hurt! We were almost killed by that lunatic! Why can't you prioritize?"

Aunt Wu rolled her eyes at Tian Guilan and said unhappily, "Look at you, you're shouting with such energy and dancing so happily. How can you look injured? Can't you still shout and dance?

Humph! Let me tell you, your daughter-in-law is seriously ill. You are not dead, so why are you yelling like that?

Tian Guilan was so angry at Aunt Wu's retort that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

The Zhao family, father and son, were furious and pointed at Cuihua and started cursing, "She's a lunatic! You don't know how horrible last night was! It was a nightmare! If it weren't for the patrol team in our village, my Zhao family would be wiped out! This crazy lunatic!"

At this time, many villagers who were watching the fun had gathered inside and outside the Zhao family's house, and everyone was whispering and talking.

Mrs. Sun smacked her lips and said with disdain, "Didn't you know beforehand that this girl had a mental problem? What? Now that she's got her dowry, you're regretting it? How wicked!"

Aunt Li chimed in, "She was quite nice when she first got married, diligent and filial. I think she's been driven crazy by this heartless family of yours!"

The villagers started accusing the Zhao family one after another: "What a good girl, gentle, kind, and capable, and you, such an unreasonable family, have forced her into this state!"

"That's right, if Xiuying hadn't split up the family, she would probably be driven crazy by you. Your Zhao family has never done anything humane!"

Tian Guilan listened to the villagers' merciless accusations, her face livid with anger. She jumped up and shouted at the top of her voice, "We are the victims! Open your eyes and see what this lunatic has done to our family! We are covered in wounds and terrified. How can you lie to us with your eyes open!"

Zhao Cunliang's face darkened as he angrily said, "Alright! Cuihua, my Zhao family won't keep her! Guangzong, divorce this lunatic and send her back! Our Zhao family can't tolerate this giant Buddha!"

When Guangzong heard that Cuihua was going to be divorced, he was immediately overjoyed and said excitedly, "Okay, Dad! How can this crazy woman be worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Zhao family? She is a jinx! I will divorce her today and let her go back to her parents' home!"

Zhao Cunliang nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself: I have got the tiger whip. Cuihua made such a big fuss today. This is enough reason to divorce her and save me the trouble in the future.

At this moment, Ma Ergun, who was guarding the village entrance, ran in breathlessly with a letter in his hand, shouting, "Brother Cunliang, there's a letter for you! It's from your in-laws, and they asked me to give it to you."

Zhao Cunliang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "There's a letter? What could be wrong with that?" As he spoke, he reached out to take the letter. Looking at the flamboyant handwriting on the envelope, he was stunned and shouted anxiously, "Oh, I don't recognize it! What the hell is this? Brother He, when did you learn to write?"

At this moment, Xiuying, Afan and Awang also hurried over. They saw Zhao Cunliang holding a letter in his hand, with a frown on his face and a worried look.

Xiuying glanced at Awang calmly, and Awang understood what she meant. He walked up to Zhao Cunliang and said, "I can read."

Zhao Cunliang looked up and saw that it was Chen Zexi, the eldest son of the Chen family. He immediately changed into a different person, with a flattering smile on his face. He bent his waist unconsciously, handed the letter over with both hands, and said flatteringly, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Chen. You are truly a learned and noble man!"

Awang took the envelope, looked at it carefully, and then said, "This letter requires someone to bring a pen."

Then, Awang carefully opened the envelope, cleared his throat, and began to read: "Brother Cunliang, by the time you see this letter, I will have already left Qingshui County and have been wandering around the world. My daughter Cuihua has had a hard life since childhood, so I now leave her in your care.

I forgot to tell you that Cuihua's illness is different from ordinary madness. Once she is provoked, she will become extremely irritable and may even do something dangerous. So remember not to anger her and make sure to take good care of her. Finally, I wish Guangzong and Cuihua a long and happy life together and a son soon.

"What?" After hearing the letter read by Awang, Zhao Cunliang's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes full of despair. He stared at the letter blankly, his hands shaking unconsciously.

Then, he mechanically turned his head to look at Cuihua, who was standing beside him with a dull look in her eyes, as if his soul had been taken away.

Tian Guilan slumped to the ground, slapped her thigh fiercely, and wailed at the top of her lungs: "He Lao San, you have no conscience! He's afraid that we'll return our daughter, so he'll just run away! What a sin our Zhao family has committed!"

The villagers who were watching the fun also started talking about it.

"Didn't He Laosan tell you to be nicer to Cuihua, but you just wouldn't listen!" said a white-haired old man, shaking his head.

"That's right! Cuihua became ill because she was stimulated. She wouldn't get ill for no reason. Did your Zhao family do something excessive to force her to become ill?" A young and strong man frowned and stared at the Zhao family sternly.

"That's right, think about it carefully. Cuihua was fine before she got married, but it hasn't been long since she became like this!" An elder sister-in-law holding a child also echoed, her eyes full of dissatisfaction with the Zhao family.

Zhao Cunliang's eyes widened, his neck stiffening as he shouted, "I've never heard of such a madness! Look at how weak and pitiful she looks now. Humph, that's all an act! Last night, she looked like a ghost, with her hair disheveled and her claws bared!"
