Chapter 980: Chapter 983 Too Cruel

"This is strange, the oleander was tribute to the Imperial, and it’s poisonous. The Imperial would definitely keep a strict watch on it. How could our village possibly have it?" Tie Niu was filled with doubts.

Those who could obtain such a thing were definitely either rich or noble, but looking around Big Willow Village, there was simply no one with that kind of capability!

The Tan Family was the one closest to the Guang House, but they had no reason to harm the villagers, and besides, they were the ones who informed him about the oleander as soon as it was found, so it definitely couldn’t have been them.

Unable to figure it out, Tie Niu simply didn’t think about it anymore, clearing out the oleander would mean peace and quiet.

"I’ll have someone start chopping down the tree right away, you should come by my place when you have time,"

Tie Niu said politely.

He had a little scheme in mind, which was hoping Duo’er could help persuade Big Niu’er.

Big Niu’er liked Zhang Ziwen and he was very supportive of it, but a travel companion who went on a study tour with Zhang Ziwen said they encountered mountain bandits, and it was very possible that Zhang Ziwen met with a misfortune.

He could no longer stand by and watch his own daughter ruin her entire life for a man she was not even betrothed to.

Qiao Duo’er nodded, "I just heard about Big Niu’er from Almond yesterday, I’ll go see her this afternoon."

"I don’t know how to thank you enough, your body is not in a good condition, and I am still troubling you," Tie Niu said, feeling embarrassed.

Duo’er was in no condition to be overexerted now, but he was genuinely worried about Big Niu’er.

Not eating, drinking, or sleeping all day, and locking herself in the room, she was bound to become ill.

"Uncle Tie, that’s too serious. I think of Big Niu’er as a sister, how could I stand by and watch?" Qiao Duo’er said with a smile.

After Tie Niu left, Qiao Duo’er saw it was just past nine o’clock and simply called Qing Xin to go with her to the Tie Family’s house.

Having not seen her for over a month, Big Niu’er had lost a lot of weight and the cheerfulness she used to have was no longer visible.

Love is indeed a strange thing, to have turned Big Niu’er into what she is today.

"Sister Duo’er, you’re also here to persuade me, aren’t you?"

Big Niu’er glanced at Qiao Duo’er lazily. She used to feel excited when she saw Qiao Duo’er, but now she couldn’t muster up the energy.

It was as if nothing in the world held any attraction for her anymore.

Duo’er hesitated before speaking, "Not really, I just want to know what exactly you’re thinking."

"I just feel that Zhang Ziwen couldn’t possibly have just died, and I want to wait for him to return."

Mentioning Zhang Ziwen, a gleam finally appears in Big Niu’er’s eyes.

She always felt that Zhang Ziwen wasn’t dead, because he definitely couldn’t leave his father at home.

Even though his father had also, unfortunately, passed away now.

Qiao Duo nodded, "I also think that Zhang Ziwen isn’t dead, but you hide away at home all day, you don’t go to Duo Meifang anymore, you don’t come to play with me, and you look like this, who would believe that Zhang Ziwen is still alive?"

Looking at Big Niu’er’s current state, it was clear she’s convinced that Zhang Ziwen had already died.

It seems she’s only fooling herself now.

"You also think that Zi Wen isn’t dead?" Big Niu’er looked steadily at Qiao Duo.

This was the most comforting thing she had heard in these days.

"Why not? Mountain bandits are just after money, just give them the cash and it would be fine. Zhang Ziwen isn’t stupid, he wouldn’t throw away his life over some silver,"

Qiao Duo gave her an affirmative answer. In truth, she also didn’t know about the current state of Zhang Ziwen, but one must always have some hope.

If a misfortune had really occurred, time would slowly help Big Niu’er to accept the reality.

But this needed a transition, otherwise it would be too cruel for a young girl.
