Chapter 272: Why Not?

Su Li shook her head and refused. “There’s no need. I’m already very satisfied to have a sip of water. I still have to go back and serve my mother-in-law, who can’t take care of herself. If I’m not at home, she’ll probably have already pooped and peed on herself. I have to hurry up and return home to care for her.”

The woman patted Su Li’s hand to express her sympathy. “It’s been hard on you!”

The woman thought to herself that there were not many people like this nowadays. It was fine that her man was an invalid, but her mother-in-law was also useless. She still had to serve the both of them and she did not know when such a life would end!

If it were her, she would have run away long ago!

Su Li shook her head with a bitter smile. “As long as they’re fine, I won’t feel bitter!”

Su Li was disgusted by her own words. If not for the fact that the time and place were wrong, she would have shivered.

“Sister, I’ll get going first. Thank you for the water,” Su Li said.

The woman shook her head and said, “There’s no need to thank me. If there’s a chance in the future, let’s sit down and have a good chat.”

The woman sympathized with this pitiful person. She felt that she was a savior and would definitely be able to enlighten Su Li.

Su Li nodded slightly at the woman before turning to leave.

The woman looked at Su Li’s back sympathetically and sighed before returning to her room.

Su Li walked to the corner and lowered her head to look at the location before walking towards the house.

The door of the house was tightly shut, and there was no sound from inside.

Su Li had observed the place beforehand. She did not enter through the door. Instead, she took a detour to the back door. She jumped lightly and grabbed the wall. Then, she used force to reach the wall.

Su Li jumped down from the wall. Her movements were very light, so she didn’t alarm the people in the house.

Su Li had just raised her foot when she heard a click.

She looked down and saw that she had broken a branch.

Su Li: “…” What a coincidence!

“Why do I hear something outside?” A male voice came from inside the house.

When Su Li heard this, she quickly found a place to hide. At this moment, she was very glad that these people did not have a dog. Otherwise, she would definitely be exposed.

“Hurry up and go out to take a look. Don’t let anyone sneak in,” a woman said.

When Su Li heard this voice, she instantly felt that it was extremely familiar. Wasn’t this the woman they had met this morning?

She had a deep impression of that woman. At that time, she thought that she looked gentle and elegant. One really could not judge a book by its cover. Now, she was 100% sure that they were in cahoots.

Soon, a man walked out. He walked around the courtyard and looked at the door latch. After confirming that there was no problem, he entered the house.

“There’s no one out there!”

“That’s good. If someone comes in, we’ll all die.”

“Look at you. Who else can come in? This village belongs to us.”

The woman said, “Don’t let your guard down. I don’t think that woman will let it go so easily today. We have to quickly get rid of that little brat!”

A woman’s intuition told her that Su Li was different from others. When such a thing happened, others might be out of their wits, but she felt that Su Li would definitely do everything she could to find the child.
