She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 137 Li Cuixia Jumps into the River

Her parents blamed her, and even the nieces and nephews she had raised by hand blamed her.

It was clearly her elder brother who had slept with the widow, causing the sister-in-law to return to her maternal home in anger.

She was about to be engaged, but her brother had ruined it, yet she was still blamed by her family.

Li Cuixia didn’t know how she ended up at the riverbank, staring at the water, in a daze. She recalled the scolding words of her parents and impulsively jumped in.

Someone saw this happen and dove into the river to rescue Li Cuixia, but when they pulled her out, she remained unconscious and was taken to the town health clinic.

Li Laosan and his wife waited and waited but their daughter never returned.

As darkness approached with no sign of her, they were scared that something had befallen their daughter, Cuihua, upon whom the family now depended to prevent the eldest from being sent away.

"Third Brother, let’s go check at the Cao Family’s place."

Since they belonged to the adjacent production team, Li Laosan, with his eldest son, went to the Cao Family’s home, where, at that time, the Cao family was just halfway through their meal and was about to leave the table.

"Cuihua, Cuihua..."

Li Laosan thought that if the Cao family had abandoned his daughter Cuihua, then he could demand the dowry money back from them.

"Li Laosan, my family certainly doesn’t have any Cuihua or Lotus."

Didn’t he send his daughter to the Cao Family?

If she didn’t return home and wasn’t at the Cao Family’s, where could she be?

"Cao Dali, tell Cao Dali to bring my family’s Cuihua out."

Mrs. Cao immediately retorted, "My Dali left early this morning and is not at home. As for your Cuihua, she came here in the afternoon asking for such a large dowry and was driven away by us. Furthermore, Li Laosan, is your daughter made of gold? Demanding that much dowry, what, did your son sleep with gold and now your daughter needs to be embedded with gold for marriage?"

"Get them out of here." Once Mrs. Cao spoke, the Cao sons quickly twisted the two men’s arms and threw them out, then slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Li Cuixia’s elder brother had slept with a widow, and the widow’s family caught him. Now, they were demanding money from the Li Family to settle the matter privately; more and more people were getting to know about it.

After exchanging glances, Li Laosan was so angry that he wanted to hit his son.

"Search."

But they searched all around and found no one, so father and son had no choice but to return home.

"Where is Cuihua?" freёnovelkiss.com

When Madam Li saw the father and son return without Cuihua, she asked.

"We’ve searched everywhere and haven’t found her."

Madam Li suddenly had a terrible thought, "Cuihua wouldn’t have jumped into the river, would she?"

This suggestion terrified Li Laosan and his son immensely.

Jumped into the river?

That river claimed the lives of several people every year, including those who jumped in deliberately.

"Shall we go have a look?"

The three of them took an oil lamp and searched around the riverbank but found no sign of her. With no other option, they had to go home.

"Third Brother, this trip was worth it," Zhao Tianhe said with a grin.

"Thank goodness for sister-in-law’s map, or else we would have missed these medicinal herbs."

They were lucky and had dug up two fifty-year-old ginseng roots.

They found Polygonum multiflorum and Lingzhi as well.

Now they were resting inside a cave in the mountains.

They planned to carry the game down the mountain under the cover of darkness to avoid detection in daylight.

"Chaoyang, are you done packing?"

Fang Chaoyang nodded, "All packed."

This time they had truly struck it lucky.

A wild boar, a wild goat, several wild rabbits, and a wild pheasant.

"Let’s go. We descend the mountain."
