173. Chapter 173: Night Visit to Zhao Wulai's House

Widow Xu's face was full of red slap marks, her cheeks were swollen high, and even her hair was in a mess, looking very embarrassed.

But Zhao Wang Shi still didn't seem to have enough, her eyes glaring fiercely at Widow Xu: "Tell me honestly, did my son go to Jiang Shi that night!"

Widow Xu lowered her head somewhat guiltily.

Actually, she wasn't sure either... Did Zhao Wulai really go to Jiang Wei that night?

According to her understanding of Zhao Wulai, he must have coveted the widow Jiang Shi for a long time. It was impossible that nothing happened that night... but the problem was, why did Zhao Wulai go to the mountain for no reason?

And was chased down the slope by wild wolves, becoming the ghost he is now.

To say that all this has nothing to do with Jiang Shi, she simply didn't believe it!

"Anyway... I saw with my own eyes that Zhao Wulai went out that night!" She gritted her teeth, but didn't dare to say it too firmly, "As for why he went to the mountain halfway and was chased down the slope by wild wolves... I don't know."

"Useless!" Zhao Wang Shi raised her hand and gave her another slap, "Can't even figure out such a small thing, how did my son raise such a useless person like you!"

This slap was very heavy. Widow Xu was slapped to the side, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her cheeks burned with pain.

"My son, don't worry, Mother will definitely help you seek justice!" Zhao Wang Shi didn't even look at Widow Xu and kept throwing herself at Zhao Wulai's bed and wailing, "You can't speak now, but it doesn't matter, Mother will definitely find a way to find the best doctor to treat your injury. When the time comes, you can tell who the real murderer who harmed you is!"

Zhao Wulai barely turned his two eyeballs to look at his mother, responding with "yiya yiya" in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.

Zhao Wang Shi seemed to understand, nodding repeatedly: "Son, don't worry, money is not a problem. When I sell Widow Xu, this cheap woman, to a brothel, I'll have money to invite a doctor to treat your injury. When the time comes, I'll pay the tax, and I'll find a yellow flower maiden to serve you! We don't want this kind of broken shoe like Widow Xu!"

Zhao Wulai made two "yiya" sounds, and the originally dead eyes suddenly flashed with light.

Zhao Wang Shi was still talking excitedly about finding a new wife to give Zhao Wulai more fat sons, completely unaware that Widow Xu behind the two was looking at them with eyes as if they were poisoned...

Jiang family.

Ever since scaring away Zhao Wang Shi and Widow Xu, Jiang Xiaoxiao and her mother returned to the soap workshop to continue supervision.

These wives and old women who came to work were also deterred by the bucket of snakes Jiang Wei carried, and didn't dare to say any more gossip, working earnestly.

Although it was only the first day and everyone wasn't familiar with the process, they made two or three hundred pieces of soap in one day.

The soap made today was all unscented, meaning no spices, goat milk, or honey were added.

Jiang Xiaoxiao planned to sell this type of soap for three hundred wen a piece, the price was cheaper, and the common people could afford it.

As for the soap with goat milk, honey, etc., it was still priced at four hundred wen. In addition to strong cleaning ability, this type of soap also has a certain moisturizing effect, which is most suitable for washing hands and faces.

There is the last type. In addition to adding a small amount of goat milk and honey, spices are also added. In addition to the moisturizing effect, this type of soap also smells good. It can be used for washing hair and bathing, and the body smells good after washing. It is most suitable for ladies and misses who often use rouge and powder and love beauty.

Naturally, the price of this type of soap is more expensive. Jiang Xiaoxiao tentatively set it at eight hundred wen a piece, also facing the sales group of relatively wealthy families in town.

The workers in the soap workshop worked until the end of the Shen hour, which is about five o'clock in the afternoon.

This was still under Jiang Wei's repeated urging that they went home.

Everyone couldn't believe it. With such high wages, they only had to work until the Shen hour to go home. This was too easy, right?

You know, those who work in town, which employer isn't wishing for workers to work until dark before leaving.

The Jiang family is really a great benefactor in the village!

After the villagers left happily, the mother and daughter checked the soap workshop inside and out, and after finding no problems, they locked the soap workshop courtyard door and returned to their own courtyard.

When they got home, both mother and daughter had some things on their minds, so they just cooked two bowls of egg noodles and ate them casually.

After eating and drinking, the sky was almost dark. Now that it was autumn, it was getting dark earlier and earlier.

Jiang Wei told Jiang Xiaoxiao to return to the room to train her ability, while she tidied up, changed into a set of black night clothes, and went out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao knew her mother must be solving the trouble of Zhao Wulai, so she didn't ask much, obediently returned to the room, locked the doors and windows, and began the day-after-day training of ability.

There were three large vats in her room, neatly arranged in the corner of the room.

This was placed in her room by her mother to prevent her from wetting the floor of her room when training ability.

Speaking of the other side.

Jiang Wei arrived at Zhao Wulai's house under the cover of night, but didn't see any movement in the house.

Although every family in the village would turn off the lights and sleep early to save that little bit of kerosene when it got dark, it was too suspicious that there was no movement at all when sleeping at this time.

Jiang Wei jumped up and landed on the big tree outside Zhao Wulai's courtyard. The night was dark, and she almost merged with the night.

She subconsciously looked up at the foggy night sky above her head where half a moon couldn't be seen, and estimated in her heart that there might be heavy rain in a few days...

Thinking this way, a night wind suddenly blew, carrying some chill of early autumn.

There was a faint smell of blood in the wind...

Jiang Wei frowned, this smell of blood seemed to come from Zhao Wulai's courtyard...

What happened?

She jumped off the tree lightly and came to Zhao Wulai's courtyard in a few leaps.

Through the dilapidated window, she looked into the house.

At just one glance, even Jiang Wei, who was used to life and death, couldn't help but turn pale.

She made a decisive decision and turned to leave quickly.

Zhao Wulai... no longer needed her to solve it.

Returning home, Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Mother, why did you come back so early? Is the matter solved?"

Jiang Wei shook her head twice, thinking of the tragic situation in the house, and decided not to tell her daughter the truth, so she said: "I suddenly remembered that I forgot something halfway..."

Saying that, she yawned, "Forget it, I'll go tomorrow night. I'm really tired today, let's sleep first."

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't doubt it, just nodded and said: "Okay, then Mother, you rest early and have a good sleep, don't get tired."

Her mother, although an omnipotent female lead, is not made of iron. She has been busy with the soap workshop these past few days, so it's natural to be tired. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 174 =====
