Chapter 136: Worry-Free Leak Medicine

  It's just that things won't always go as beautifully as she thought they would.

  Wang Tufu and Zhong Gensheng, as well as Niu Laogen and Li Zheng, went to help with the pig slaughter. Only Tian Guihua and her three daughters-in-law were left in the courtyard. Taking advantage of He Ashou and Li Zheng's wife being busy washing dishes and not paying attention, she snuck into the kitchen under the cover of the three daughters-in-law, thinking that Shen Sisi was not there. But it turned out that Shen Sisi had been waiting for her all along.

  Tian Guihua was sneaking around the kitchen, searching for a way out when suddenly a voice came from behind her. Along with the voice, an old kitchen knife appeared, causing Tian Guihua to break out in cold sweat. She wanted to turn around but didn't dare, as the voice belonged to Shen Sisi, who spoke in a calm and collected tone: "Auntie is quite calculating, managing to sneak into my kitchen. What's wrong? Didn't you think the silver you took the other day was hot enough? I think you should return it to me. Otherwise, my knife might just lose its way... Today, after cooking all day, my hand has been shaking nonstop. If I accidentally touched Auntie with it, that wouldn't be good, would it?"

  Tian Guihua's cold sweat burst out from behind, really didn't expect Shen Sisi to treat her like this, she clearly took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in quietly, seeing that the kitchen was silent before coming in to take a look, didn't think... actually ran into this dead girl again.

  Today she was originally going to force Niú Xiǎohuā again, but didn't know that Niú Xiǎohuā had been hiding in the house and wouldn't come out. She was at a loss, and not daring to barge in under everyone's watchful eyes, could only grit her teeth and finally came up with this method.

  "Earth, earth girl......" Tian Guilhua muttered to herself: "......you'd better not really tremble, knives and swords are blind......"

  "It depends on whether Auntie is willing to return our family's silver... " Shen Sisi said coldly.

  "What silver? I didn't take any of your family's silver..." Tian Guihua still wanted to be stubborn, but Shen Sisi coldly laughed, "Niu Xiaohua was bought back by our family with money, so her silver naturally belongs to the Zhong family too. Auntie doesn't want to return it?! Fine, Uncle Niu is here, I'll go find him to ask for it..."

  Sweat was slowly dripping down from Tian Guihua's forehead, the kitchen had been sweltering after a day of cooking, she was already extremely tense and now sweat was pouring down like rain.

  "Who are you trying to scare with him?!" Tian Guihua still wanted to be tough, but Shen Sisi had lost her patience. The knife was pressed even tighter, and Tian Guihua saw the sharp blade gleaming under her eyelids, scaring her so much that she almost fainted. However, she managed to hold herself up by clenching her legs tightly and biting back her fear.

  Shen Sisi sneered, "Otherwise, I'll call out Xiao Hua to confront Niu Shu together with you. How about that?! Don't you remember now, Auntie? If I were to hurt you somewhere, like cutting your hand or neck, Niu Shu would definitely not blame me. Oh, right, you also hit Xiao Hua, so I can also get Li Lai to confront you too! Are you sure you won't return the money?!"

  Tian Guihua couldn't help but yield, not knowing why she was at a loss whenever she encountered this little girl. This little girl was more ruthless when being tough and had more schemes when being soft. Tian Guihua didn't know how she met such a nemesis, her heart aching with hatred, thinking about the silver that needed to be returned, but she was still intimidated by Shen Sisi, obediently taking out the silver because she knew this little girl wasn't just all talk, but could also do even more extreme things...

  She reluctantly took out the silver, and Shen Sisi had already snatched it over, weighing it and saying: "It's not less, you stingy old thing, you care more about the silver than your daughter, and you've been holding it in your arms all along..."

  Tian Guihua gritted her teeth and said: "...... Can you put the knife away now?!"

  Shen Sisi smiled slightly, put away the silver, and said with a smile: "Auntie likes to enter my kitchen so much, she must be particularly interested in things at my house. As a chef, how can I not entertain you? Look, I specially prepared good stuff, Auntie, you have to drink it all..."

  That was a bowl of seasoning with a strange, pungent and spicy smell, black as coal, extremely frightening. Tian Guihua didn't know what it was, and she wasn't willing to drink it. Just as she was thinking of running away, Shen Sisi wouldn't let go of this good opportunity. With a sly smile, she slightly raised the tip of her knife and said: "Auntie shouldn't waste my hospitality, the blade is merciless... Auntie..." Although she spoke in such a way, the cold intent behind her words was extremely clear, as if Shen Sisi would really be able to bring herself to do it if Tian Guihua didn't drink.

  Tian Guihua's face turned white with fear, but she didn't know what it was and didn't want to drink it. However, Shen Sisi's knife was pointed at her, so she thought that this girl wouldn't dare to really poison her. Considering that if things got out of hand, she would definitely be sent back home by Niu Laogen, a surge of boldness rose up in her, and she angrily said: "I'll drink it then! I don't believe you dare to poison me. If anything happens to me, everyone will know that I came to the Zhong family for dinner, and none of you Zhongs can escape..."

  "Don't worry, Auntie, it's absolutely not poison..." Shen Sisi smiled lightly. It was just to teach her a lesson.

  Tian Guihua trembled as she picked up the bowl, Shen Sisi saw that her hand was unstable and coldly said: "Auntie's hands are steady now, if you break it, I have a big pot ready in my cauldron..."

  Tian Guihua's hand shook as she listened, but she steadied it and downed the drink in one gulp. No matter what, it was better than drinking a whole pot.

  Tian Guihua had just swallowed it, and before she could react, a extremely overbearing spicy flavor engulfed her stomach, intestines, throat, mouth and lips...

  She stuck out her tongue and her face suddenly turned bright red, almost as if she had jumped up and rushed out of the Zhong family's gate like the wind.

  Her three daughters-in-law also didn't know what had happened, exchanged a glance, and hastily followed. He Qiu and Li Zheng's wife were even more wide-eyed and bewildered, somewhat unclear about what was going on.

  Shen Sisi finally put down the knife and let out a burst of suppressed maniacal laughter, which sent chills down the spines of the Four Treasures watching from the corner. They couldn't help but feel that her smile was terrifying, and she didn't seem quite right in the head.

  Shen Sisi also saw him, waved the knife in her hand, and smiled at Si Bao, saying: "...... Come over. Good boy."

  Si Bao walked over with a gloomy face, dragging his heavy legs to her side, but kept a distance of at least ten meters from her and didn't dare to get any closer.

  "Do you know what it is?! Shen Sisi was clearly in a great mood and urgently needed to share the joy of success with someone."

  Si Bao Mu's face shook slightly as he replied, "......I don't know."

  "...Mmm, it's made with a lot of chili peppers, fragrant oil, numbing peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, and raw garlic, creating an extremely delicious flavor..."

  Si's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: "Can Tian Guihua be alright?!" Don't let him lose his life just like that.

  "Oh, and there's the laxative that Dabao brought back yesterday, let that old thing wash her heart and lungs...” Shen Sisi said with a mischievous smile, feeling very pleased with herself. Then she looked at Si Bao's expressionless face and found it uninteresting, so she took out some silver coins and went to Niu Xiaohua's room.

  Si Bao only felt his whole body numb, and he shuddered with cold. This kind of trick to deal with people, only this country girl could think of it, too despicable! I'm going to die! From now on, never offend her, in case she uses this on him, will he still be alive?!

  It's just Tian Guihua who suffered from this prank, and I don't know what other tricks are coming next. It seems that we need to be more careful at home recently.

  This girl even dares to poison the medicine, it's really too outrageous, and I don't know how that old guy will retaliate. What if they also poison the medicine? If something happens to their braised meat, how can they still sell it?!

  Shen Sisi was now completely immersed in the thrill of revenge, and handed over the silver she had retrieved from Tian Guihua to Niu Xiaohua in the house, saying: "This is for you, I got it back from your mother. From now on, don't give her any more, no matter how much she begs..."

  Niu Xiaohua looked at her in surprise, she naturally knew what kind of person her mother was, but thinking of Tuniu's personality, she fell silent and took the silver, saying: "Thank you, Tuniu, it's hard for you to still remember me..."

  "Since we're all family, of course I'll be thinking of you. Just remember to toughen up a bit from now on and don't go soft whenever your mom is around - she'll just take advantage of you even more."

  Niu Xiaohua nodded vigorously and said, "I remember."

  Shen Sisi didn't say much, just smiled and greeted Chunxiang before going back to the kitchen. She was exhausted after a busy day, but she still had to prepare dinner. It was a pity that today was so busy, and after finishing dinner, she also had to marinate the braised meat for sale tomorrow.

  Dabao was already kneading dough in the kitchen. Seeing her come over, he said: "Tuniu, are we having pancakes for dinner tonight?"

  Shen Sisi saw that she was kneading the dough, and smiled: "Well, today we're having egg pancakes, and there are still a lot of eggs left at home, so let's use them all up today..."

  "Great, this must be delicious..."

  Wang Tudou was busy until nightfall, and only then did he finish slaughtering the pig. Zhong Gensheng, who had been waiting all this time, smiled and said: "Stay here and have a drink, you can stay overnight at my place too, and head back tomorrow..."

  Wang Tudou saw that it was really late and was also afraid of walking back home in the dark, so he smiled and responded with a "yeah", saying: "It's good that I greeted my wife today, otherwise she wouldn't know when to wait..."

  Zhong Gensheng smiled and said: "Let's have a good drink tonight, you've worked hard today."

  It's not hard work, it's just a bit late, but eating at the Zhong family is extremely good, Wang Tufu is happy and laughing, actually very pleased in his heart.

  At night, the whole family was present, with Niu Laogen being the only one absent. Wang Tufu and everyone else stayed behind for dinner. The main course was egg pancakes, accompanied by some leftover dishes from noon, as well as a pork miscellaneous hot pot made by Shen Sisi. The flavor was truly unparalleled. Paired with a bit of wine, it was simply perfect.
