Chapter 12: Too Evil!
For the characters in the original work, Ji Zhao liked Zhao Lanhua the most.
She was magnanimous, benevolent, and opinionated. Moreover, when the original owner of the body returned to Shanghe Village, it was Zhao Lanhua, this ex-mother-in-law who had been taking care of her secretly…
Eldest Sister-in-law Shen and Second Sister-in-law Shen were stunned when they saw their mother-in-law bringing Ji Ah Tao back.
Until Zhao Lanhua closed the courtyard door and took out seven wild chickens from the basket on her back.
“So many wild chickens?” Second Sister-in-law Shen’s eyes almost popped out!
“Ah Tao caught these on the mountain.” Zhao Lanhua pointed at Ji Zhao, who was standing beside her, and said softly, “Eldest son’s wife, come with me to the county city later and ask my eldest son to help sell these wild chickens.”
“Sell them all?” Second Sister-in-law Shen asked regretfully, “Aren’t you going to leave some for us to eat? Even one is fine…”
Zhao Lanhua narrowed her eyes and glanced at her. “Haven’t you eaten enough this morning and noon?”
“Mother, who would complain about having too much chicken!” Second Sister-in-law Shen smiled awkwardly and did not dare to say anything else.
“The wound on Ah Tao’s head hasn’t healed yet. She needs to take medicine,” Zhao Lanhua said forcefully. “Besides, she caught these wild chickens. If anyone wants to eat chicken, go up the mountain and catch them yourself. I won’t stop you!”
No matter how much she pretended to be stupid, Second Sister-in-law Shen could hear the displeasure in her mother-in-law’s tone. She silently shrank her head and did not dare to speak again.
“Eldest wife, go boil some hot water.”
“Okay.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.
“Ah Tao, come with me.” Zhao Lanhua waved at Ji Zhao and brought her to a short room beside the main house.
After Ji Zhao walked in, she realized that this was actually an ear room. There was a thick grayish-brown curtain hanging at the entrance.
She lifted the curtain and walked in. What greeted her eyes was a large bathtub about half the height of a person.
“Ah Tao, this towel is clean. There’s a piece of acacia on the shelf over there. After the eldest wife boils the water, you should freshen up. By the way, there’s still a wound on your head. Don’t get it wet for the time being,” Zhao Lanhua pointed at the thing on the wooden triangular shelf near the bathtub and reminded her gently.
At this moment, Ji Zhao’s eyes were already red. She choked and said, “Mother…”
Zhao Lanhua waved her hand and walked out of the ear room.
In the kitchen.
Second Sister-in-law Shen looked at Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, who was stuffing firewood into the stove expressionlessly, and could not help but mutter, “Eldest Sister-in-law, what do you think Mother means? Didn’t we agree to chase her away previously? Why is Mother bringing her back now?”
“Mother must have her reasons for doing this.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen stared at the flames on the stove and said calmly.
“In my opinion, this Ji Ah Tao is too evil!” Second Sister-in-law Shen could not help but ponder. “She even apologized to me yesterday! This matter is too strange. Could it be that her damaged head was possessed by something unclean?”
“Otherwise, how could she catch so many wild chickens? This is definitely not ordinary!”
“Alright, stop thinking about it.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen rolled her eyes at her.
Second Sister-in-law Shen pulled a long face and made up her mind.
If Ji Ah Tao was really possessed, would she know if the child in her womb was male or female?
“Eldest wife, come here.” Zhao Lanhua, who had been standing at the door for a while, suddenly pushed open the wooden door and shouted.
Eldest Sister-in-law Shen quickly responded.
