C20 Dispirited Mind

Yun Xiuqing looked at the sickle in her hand and said with a smile, "Our family is as poor as a pauper now. If we want to live, we need silver taels, so I decided to go to the mountain to gather some herbs and sell them."

When Old Man Yun found out that Yun Xiuqing had gone to the mountains to gather medicinal herbs for her family and that the good-for-nothing Yun Mingxiao had not even seen a single picture, Old Man Yun became angrier as he thought about it, "Where is that prodigal son of his?"

"I don't know." Yun Xiuqing actually knew where Yun Mingxiao was. The laxatives she gave Mrs. Yun, Yun Mingxiao, and Qiaohui yesterday were very powerful. They would be unable to stand up as long as they squatted down. Yun Mingxiao was probably waiting in the latrine now.

Old man Yun grabbed Yun Xiuqing with a serious expression. "Qing, lead me to that prodigal son of mine."

Yun Xiuqing hesitated for a moment. Now that Yun Mingxiao was so stinky, she didn't want to smell that fragrance anymore. "Dad, don't look for him anymore, it's useless even if you find him."

"No, I have to find him. He's the one who lost his family. Why would he let you go out to work, while he's enjoying his life? Let's go, take me to him." Old Man Yun was so angry that his body was shaking.

Seeing that Old Man Yun was determined to find Yun Mingxiao, Yun Xiuqing could only bring Old Man Yun along. When Yun Xiuqing supported Old Man Yun through the main hall, Yun Xiuqing could already smell the revolting stench.

Old man Yun suddenly stopped at the entrance of the hall. He turned to Yun Xiuqing and asked, "Qing, do you smell anything?"

Yun Xiuqing nodded honestly. "I think so."

Just as Old Man Yun was searching for the source of the stench, the two of them suddenly heard a burst of moans.

Old man Yun immediately caught sight of this voice, "Qing, did you hear it as well?"

Yun Xiuqing suppressed the laughter in her heart and nodded. "Yes, I heard it. It seems to be in the latrine."

Their latrine was located at the southeast corner of the hall. Yun Xiuqing supported Old Man Yun all the way over, but before they even reached the latrine, they saw Old Mrs. Yun and Qiaohui, who were both covered in yellow feces, lying on the floor.

Old man Yun frowned when he saw the feces of Mrs. Yun and Qiaohui. "What's going on?"

Yun Xiuqing pinched her nose and said, "She must have eaten something unclean."

As soon as Yun Xiuqing finished her sentence, Qiaohui, who had been paralyzed on the ground, pointed angrily at Yun Xiuqing. She opened and closed her mouth, unable to utter a single word for a long while.

"How is this possible?" Old man Yun flung his sleeves in anger and scolded, "Do you two even care about your faces? You are actually releasing your hands in public. This is so infuriating. Where is that prodigal son of Yun Mingxiao?"

Mrs. Yun and Qiaohui were currently powerless, not even having the strength to say a single word. The two of them had spent an entire night dragging each other to the verge of death.

"Father, Father." Yun Mingxiao heard Old Man Yun and Yun Xiuqing's voices from the latrine and shouted with all his might.

When Old Man Yun heard Yun Mingxiao's voice, he hurriedly walked into the toilet and saw his son sitting there, unable to get up. "Why are you like this?"

"Dad, save, save me!" Yun Mingxiao said weakly.

Old man Yun let out a cold snort, "This is your retribution, take it."

With that, Old Man Yun flicked his sleeves and left the latrine.

Yun Xiuqing was waiting outside. When she saw that Old Man Yun had come out, she hurried forward to support him.

"Dad, do we need to call a doctor?" Yun Xiuqing's words were purely out of politeness. She didn't want to pay the three people for a doctor. She really wanted them to die in the latrine.

"No need, this is their retribution. Qing, in the future, don't bother with them, don't cook for them. If they want to die, they can starve. If they don't want to die, they can do it themselves." Old Man Yun already felt disheartened towards Mrs. Yun and the other two, so he didn't care about them anymore.

Yun Xiuqing nodded obediently. Even if she wanted to cook for Mrs. Yun and the other two, they wouldn't dare to.

Yun Xiuqing escorted Old Man Yun back to his room and hurried into the mountains.
