As he chatted, Haixu's eyelids gradually became heavier. After all, the day of running around made him exhausted.

He yawned and said to Xi Yu: "Brother Yu, take a break soon. If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Xi Yu was sleepless, but he looked at the night outside the window, his thoughts drifted away.

Thinking about the task of finding herbs in the extremely cold place, I don’t know what difficulties and obstacles will be encountered in the future.

Seeing that Haixu had not fallen asleep yet, Xi Yu hesitated for a moment, and still said softly: "Brother Haixu, I am really curious in my heart. I don't know how your cousin's husband died? If it is not convenient to say it, just pretend I didn't ask."

Hai Xu was silent for a moment, sighed heavily, a hint of sadness appeared on his face, and he slowly said, "He died of illness. He has been in a bad state. After a while, he still couldn't stand it. He left Xiuxiu alone. Oh, it's so pitiful."

Xi Yu nodded slightly. Although he felt that this matter might not be that simple, it was not easy to ask any further questions.

The house fell into silence for a moment, and only the occasional cry of insects from outside the window broke the silence atmosphere.

After a while, Xi Yu whispered: "Life and death are fate, I just hope Xiuxiu can get out of this pain as soon as possible."

Hai Xu responded, turned over, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic any more.

Xi Yu stopped talking, just lay quietly in the darkness.

Xi Yu had just closed his eyes and was about to rest, but when he heard Hai Xu beside him suddenly become excited and said angrily: "Brother Yu, you don't know, those people from my cousin's family are really hateful! As soon as my brother-in-law left, they couldn't wait to force Xiuxiu back to her parents' family, obviously just to take away the things left by her brother-in-law. She was simply shameless, and it was really hateful!"

Hai Xu became more and more angry as he spoke. He clenched his fists tightly with his hands, his face full of anger and reluctance.

Xi Yu felt aroused in his heart and asked softly: "There is such a thing? Isn't anyone in charge of them doing this?"

Hai Xu snorted coldly and said, "Who will care about the lives and deaths of us ordinary people in this world? What can Xiuxiu do if she is a weak woman? She can only be sad in secret."

Xi Yu frowned slightly and secretly wrote down this incident.

He thought to himself that this seemingly peaceful village had such grudges and entanglements behind it. Since he lived in this family and received their favor, if he had the chance, he would definitely help the poor mother and daughter, so that those who do evil could receive the punishment they deserve and give the family justice.

Hai Xu took a deep breath, as if he wanted to try to suppress his anger in his heart. After eased his emotions, he said to Xi Yu: "Brother Yu, I'm tired today. Let's take a break first. Don't think about these bad things anymore."

After hearing this, Xi Yu nodded and responded: "Okay, brother said yes, then let's take a break first, if there is anything to do, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Although he said this, he made a secret decision in his heart that when it dawn tomorrow, he would definitely investigate the matter.

He really couldn't stand this family, but was treated unfairly. He thought that perhaps with his own ability, he could find out the hidden truth behind it, so that he could exclaim this bad angrily for the poor mother and daughter, and that those evil people who tried to rob property and bully the weak were punished as they deserved.

When Haixu's snoring sounded, Xi Yu still couldn't fall asleep. He just hoped that the sky would light up soon so that he could start investigating the matter.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone through the gaps in the windows and sprinkled on the ground of the south house, and a new day came quietly.

Hai Xu and Xi Yu stood up almost at the same time, and after a brief tidy up, they walked out of the room.

When Hai Xu saw Xi Yu, he said casually out of courtesy: "Brother Yu, let's have breakfast together."

In his expectation, passers-by like Xi Yu should be in a hurry to go on a hurry and would not really stay for dinner. This is just a kind word on the scene.

However, Xi Yu smiled and agreed happily: "Then let me accompany you to the last class, thank you Brother Haixu."

Hai Xu couldn't help but be stunned, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he soon came to his senses and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Yu doesn't dislike it."

In fact, Xi Yu had other plans in his mind.

He had decided to investigate the matter in the village last night, so he could stay for more time to spend with the family. From their words and deeds, he might find more clues about Xiuxiu's husband's death and her in-laws' evil deeds.

Moreover, the kindness and simplicity of this family made him feel good about it. He also wanted to feel the warmth of this ordinary farmer and see if he could help him to repay their kindness for taking in.

So the two came to the main hall together, and the table had a simple but steaming meal.

When Hailing and Xiuxiu saw that Xi Yu was coming to have a meal, they were slightly stunned, but they still greeted him warmly to sit down.

For a moment, although the atmosphere in the house was a little subtle and awkward, it also exuded a unique warmth.

"Sit down, don't be polite." Hailing said.

Guo Xiuxiu was a little unhappy.
