Before Ah Jiu stood up to get the croton, her hands began to shake:

"Mother... you might die if you do this."

"Money is important, go and get it quickly. I heard about it when I was cooking for Mr. Wang a few days ago. There is a shortage of water now. We need some capital to rent a shop to sell water. By then, we will definitely make a lot of money.

"

Meng Shaode had not yet recovered from the incident of her swallowing the broken silver and gold, and looked at the woman up and down.

"You...you ate it?"

Obviously Meng Shaode's reaction was still a little slow, and his expression at this moment was as if he had seen a ghost.

"Ang, I ate it. It's in my stomach. What can I do if I don't eat it? I was searched.

If I couldn't even protect my own capital, how could I support my daughter? Fortunately, I reacted quickly."

"But...you ate it, then...if I remember correctly, my mother had a gold nugget worth five taels, and you...you ate it too?"

When he said this, Meng Shaode stared directly at his wife, and even he felt that the money was searched by people from the government office.

"Well, as gold is worth its weight in gold, it was the first thing I ate."

Cai Lihua said categorically, with an unattractive expression on her face.

Phew, Meng Shaode almost fainted from fright, how can he still pull it out?

"Dad, I'm going to get the crotons." Ah Jiu also ran out and quickly ran to the front hall. He wrote his name on each drawer.

He was muttering about Croton Croton.

After searching around for a long time, I finally found it. I opened the drawer and grabbed a handful and ran into the house.

Those things are difficult to excrete. My mother has eaten silver and gold these days, and her stomach and intestines are naturally uncomfortable. No wonder she looks bad.

Sure enough, when she ran back to the backyard room, Cai Lihua's face turned pale and she covered her abdomen with both hands.

"Mother, aunt, croton."

Ah Jiu put the croton in a mortar and pounded it all into water.

Unexpectedly, Cai Lihua drank it all in one gulp, and then she smiled palely: "That guy named Wang is not a thing. He wants to leave me with no way out. There is no door...ah..."

Not three minutes after she drank it, she clutched her stomach and curled up: "Quick, girl, the latrine, where is the latrine?"

"Southwest corner." Ah Jiu quickly led the way.

Meng Shaode helped him all the way into the toilet.

"Get...get a barrel, quickly..."

Meng Shaode was blinded throughout the whole process. The barrel was put in and he wiped the sweat from his forehead when he came out.

"Ah-hmm!"

Listening to the sound of the toilet being used up, Meng Shaode said softly: "Your mother likes money because..."

The words fell silent.

"ah……"

A series of miserable sounds came.

It's like having a thousand-year bowel movement.

Plop.

"Wucao, my dearest daughter, the older generation always said that gold can pull out gold. Dad really believes it now."

Meng Shaode said this with a look of helplessness.

Anyway, Ah Jiu didn't think the joke was funny, so he just kept smiling.

But she was worried in her heart. She knew that her mother loved money to keep her fat. If she could make money herself, then her mother would not be so careless about money that she would risk her life.

"Jiu'er, it's really raining." Meng Shaode was attracted by the pots and pans in the yard:

"When did it fall?"

Ah Jiu understood it as soon as he heard it: "I guess my father and mother were still in prison at that time, and it was raining heavily outside."

"Hey... I missed it, otherwise I would take a bath." Meng Shaode smacked his lips, put his hand into his arms and rubbed it a few times. When he took it out, he pinched a gray egg and put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He bared his teeth in disgust.

Grinning.

"Dad, you can collect it if you like. The rainwater collected is enough for us to eat for more than ten days at most. Where can we find water to bathe?"

This was estimated after adding the amount of spiritual spring water, but Ah Jiu wanted to save as much spiritual spring water as possible for Ah Nai.

Before coming, she obviously found that Nai was very weak.

"Since it has already rained, maybe God will rain it every now and then in the future."

As soon as Meng Shaode said these words, the corners of Ah Jiu's mouth twitched a few times.
