Old Master Xu’s angry roar made Zhao Bing shudder. She had regained some consciousness, but she was muttering something in a low voice.

Old Master Xu said angrily, “Where’s your mother?”

Zhao Bing looked up dazedly. “Huh? Behind… behind…”

Not long after, a pungent smell came. Xu Yunqiao covered his nose in disdain. “What’s that smell? Whose toilet exploded?”

In the next second, she saw Mo Qiu, who was covered in shit and urine, and immediately retched in disdain. “Sister-in-law? Are you crazy? You’re covered in shit?”

“What’s going on?” Xu Jiangdong and Xu Jiangnan were also puzzled.

Mo Qiu was still in shock. Her face was pale, her eyes were dull, and her fat body was trembling. She even looked back from time to time, as if something was chasing her. Then, she seemed to see something and instantly screamed. She ran around the room and shouted, “Ah! Don’t come over! Don’t look for me. Go find them. It has nothing to do with me!!!”

Xu Yunqiao screamed in fear because Mo Qiu was running around and shaking feces and urine everywhere.

Old Master Xu finally realized that something was wrong and shouted at Xu Jiangdong, “Hurry up and pull your wife back!” Feces and urine had already been flung everywhere by her and this house was covered in feces and urine. How could they continue living in this house?

Xu Jiangdong also despised her, but he couldn’t let her continue running around. The moment he got close, he gagged and cursed inside.

“Where’s your mother?” Old Master Xu asked gloomily.

Mo Qiu continued to mutter, as if she couldn’t hear him.

Old Master Xu stood up angrily and hurriedly called the entire family out to look for Chen Qiulian. When they arrived, they discovered that Chen Qiulian had almost drowned in a pit of feces and urine.

The next day, there were two things everyone in the village was discussing. The first was that someone had stolen the manure pit in the Song family’s house and got feces and urine everywhere. Eighth Song was so angry that he cursed all morning.

The other was Old Master Xu’s family. Three women seemed to have gone crazy. Old Master Xu had no choice but to spend money to find a sorcerer to exorcise them.

Then, the sorcerer spent three days chasing away the evil spirits in the Xu family. The three of them finally returned to normal and were billed 120,000 yuan by the sorcerer. This made the already poor family even poorer.

When it reached Xu Qing’s ears, Xu Qing only sneered. The medicine she had given them would only make them hallucinate. The effect only lasted three days. Of course, this was for later…

Xu Qing looked at the three children in the small cart and her heart softened. Earning money could not be delayed any longer. In this era, being powerless would only result in being bullied. No matter what she did, she would need money to smooth things over. Just like the incident with Xu Jiangxi going to the mine. Because the Xu family had already signed him up, and there were also powerful people there, those who recruited people were condescending. They used the excuse of signing up in advance to say that if he didn’t go, he would have to pay compensation since he occupied a spot and delayed them from continuing to recruit people…

Xu Qing was very angry at such an unreasonable request, but she was helpless. The reason they dared to ask them for money so openly was because they had no power or influence. If she was wealthy, she would be feared by others, and no one would dare to hurt her children.

Xu Qing looked at the three children and couldn’t help but sigh. Their father was definitely not simple. If that person appeared and asked for her children, how could she keep them from him?

Xu Qing handed the children to Auntie Wu to take care of. She went to the mountain to find some herbs to exchange for money. It was best if she could get some poison. If she brought the children out and was targeted, she probably would not have much ability to resist. After all, some people cultivated internal energy in this place. She only knew martial arts, so there was a limit.

However, she had never known that climbing a mountain was so tiring. Fortunately, she knew the herbs, or else she would have returned empty-handed this time. Xu Qing looked at the ordinary herbs in the grass basket and was satisfied. However, if she wanted precious herbs, she could only enter the deep mountains.

Xu Qing rested for a while and continued to walk into the deep mountains. However, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly tripped over something. She glanced at it and her eyes instantly lit up. She actually saw knotweed! Then, she couldn’t care less and hurriedly dug!

Because of the knotweed, she was even more enthusiastic about the deep mountains. However, Xu Qing couldn’t feel happy anymore, because she realized that she was lost!

The reason she got lost was a grape rack. Wild grapes in the mountains were most suitable for brewing wine. She saw that it wasn’t far, so she quickened her pace. However, Xu Qing realized that no matter how long she walked, she still didn’t reach the wild grapes!

So when she realized that something was wrong, she realized that the way back was gone!
