Chapter 4 Sister Control
  Su Hong stood aside and clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with admiration and anger. The former was his admiration for his sister, and the latter was his anger at his grandma for selling his sister secretly.

If he could, he might say "Well done!" If allowed, he would also like to rush over and fight together.

The little thoughts that arose in my heart were gradually dispelled by my sister's wildly dancing red vine whip.

Su Hong pursed his lips and retreated to the gate, fearing that the whip would recognize no one and harm an innocent person like him.

He held on to the creaking half wooden door and let the chatter of the uncles and aunts outside the door continue to enter his ears.

It wasn't until he heard someone scolding his sister for being rebellious that he slowly turned around.

What came into view was an expensive-looking carriage and a group of strange men wearing black clothes with some strange patterns embroidered on them.

Standing behind him were his familiar neighbors from the countryside.

Su Hong's dark eyes glanced around, but he couldn't find the man scolding his sister.

Coincidentally, as soon as there was a cough in the carriage, the strong man next to the carriage picked up an old man with a sinister look and threw him out of the crowd.

Suhong recognized the old man. He also lived near the village. He usually liked to beat and scold his mother-in-law.

"You insulted me, but my father never insulted me."

The strong man beat the old man confidently, leaving Su Hong stunned for a moment.

In the yard, Sun's pitiful screams were extremely loud, echoing the old man's begging for mercy outside the door.

The two voices came and went one after another. Su Sheng's ears hurt when she heard them, and she was forced to put away the cane whip.

She walked to the door, remembered the promise she blurted out, and couldn't help but said to the carriage outside, "I'm busy with something, and I won't be free for the time being. Can you come back in the evening?"

There were several coughs in the carriage, and a man's hand appeared from behind the curtain. The jade-like back of the hand was almost transparent in the sunlight.

His hand slowly opened the curtain, revealing the man sitting inside.

It was a man with a slender figure and a thin face. His black hair was in sharp contrast with his pale skin.

"Okay." Qi Shuheng nodded gently towards Su Sheng, his features were both lazy and tender, clear, meaningful and moving.

Susheng: "Thank you very much."

"Aqi, let's go!"

Ah Qi, who was still beating the old man next to him, heard the sound and quickly dropped the old man.

A group of tall, strong men rode away on horseback.

As the rumble of the carriage gradually faded away, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Although no one was blocking the way, and no one was stopping anyone from climbing over the wall to peek, the excitement was over.

Seeing that no one was stopping her, the neighbor's aunt stood on the stone bench in her yard with a whoosh. She looked at the whip in Susheng's hand and said with a smile: "Did your whip fall on her? I saw no injuries on your grandma's body."

Su Sheng turned her back to her and looked directly at Mrs. Sun: "After all, she is my own mother, so naturally I won't really do anything."

"You're lying! You heartless little hooves! Wait until your uncle comes back to see me..." Mrs. Sun stopped talking and was so frightened by her eyes that she crawled back to the east room.

The neighbor's aunt frowned and said, "You are like a big-time opera singer. You will have a hard time in the future."

Susheng didn't reply and took Suhong to her eldest brother's house.

The moment the door was closed, all noise seemed to be blocked out.

The world in Susheng's eyes darkened, and she seemed to be unable to see anything. She could only stare blankly at the bulge on the bed.

Is that eldest brother?

She subconsciously walked over, but her hand was pulled by Su Hong.

She lowered her head and heard him ask in a low voice: "Brother will be willing to talk to sister, right?"

Listening to Su Hong's words, Su Sheng's fingers tightened unconsciously.

With such a loud noise outside, the eldest brother must have known that she was back, but he didn't want to see her like she was now, so he chose to hide in bed.

The blood boiled again, Su Sheng clenched her fists and wanted to hit someone again.

After calming down, she turned her head and said to Su Hong: "I just saw something on the ground in the corner of the room. It was red and yellow, some in pellets, and some in lumps. It should be arsenic, right? "

There are not many poisonous drugs for rats, and most of the ones the villagers know about are arsenic.

Susheng had also seen her parents scatter arsenic under the bed. She knew what arsenic looked like, but just relying on her memory and a distant glance, she was not sure that the thing on the ground was arsenic.

"It's arsenic." In Susheng's questioning eyes, Suhong nodded: "My grandpa asked someone to buy it. The second brother said the day before yesterday that there were many mice in the house and things were always missing. The cousin said casually, Ah After hearing this, I happened to meet the aunt next door going to the market, so I asked my aunt to bring back a bag along the way."

Susheng's eyes flashed slightly when she discovered that her younger brother, who once could only speak word by word, could finish a paragraph in such a coherent and clear manner.

After calming down, she leaned close to his ear and said, "Then you go and get some secretly. I will use it later. Remember, be careful not to get it on your fingers."

"Okay." Su Hong was confused but nodded obediently and turned around.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Sister, what are you wearing?"

"Of course it's paper." Susheng was stunned for a moment. She instinctively raised her head and looked around.

Not to mention paper, there is no desk. Apart from some sundries, there are only two beds and a long wooden wardrobe in this room.

In my memory, their house is full of wooden tables, desks, bamboo chairs, wooden stools, and cabinet shelves. Why now...
