Chapter 1350

The night was dark and windy, the perfect time for a beating.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head quickly. "Mom, the name of the medicine I made is 'You Hit Me, I Beat You.' People who take this medicine will beat each other. They won't know what they are doing. You hit me, I hit you. After the fighting, they fall asleep. The next day, they won't remember the fight. They will think it was a dream. Only when they see themselves in the mirror will they know they were beaten."

She paused and coughed, looking a bit shy. "But since they share a room, they will see each other's faces when they wake up. Then they will know."

She looked at Zhu Yanli, whose eyes were shining with excitement. "I’m going to beat people. You can’t come. You stay home and be a good mom. Take care of my little cousin."

Zhu Yanli was speechless. She wanted to go too, but she looked at her belly. "Fine, I’ll stay."

Xie Xinlian was also speechless. Her daughter was getting more and more mischievous.

Yan Aohan spoke up directly. "I’ll take you out in the middle of the night."

Since Zhu Yanyi wanted to play, Yan Aohan would help. As a good husband, if his wife went to fight, he had to carry the weapons.

"Great!" Zhu Yanyi nodded happily. It was rare to find people to test new medicine. It would be fun.

"It’s settled," Yan Aohan smiled. "I’ll take you out later tonight."

Xie Xinlian rubbed her forehead. She was used to them. She could only watch them make trouble.

Zhu Shunyao spoke up. "You can go out, but I’m coming too. I won’t let you two go alone."

Zhu Yanyi looked at her father’s excited face. She doubted she was really worried about them being alone.

"Okay," Yan Aohan agreed. It was easy for him and not dangerous.

Late at night, Zhu Yanyi, Yan Aohan, and Zhu Shunyao quietly arrived at the only inn in town. They looked at each other, then grabbed Zhu Shunyao’s hands and climbed up to the third-floor balcony window.

Zhu Shunyao was surprised. He didn’t know his daughter had such skills. He stared at them, stunned.

In the hallway, Zhu Yanyi smiled. She gave two pills to Yan Aohan and Zhu Shunyao. They took them, and she took one too. Then she put on gloves, took out a bottle, and poured some powder into her hand. She blew the powder into the air.

She counted down with her fingers. "Three, two, one. Okay, we can search room by room. No one will find us. But we don’t need to search hard. It’s New Year, so there are only a few guests. Let’s check the room numbers with the floor attendant."

"What about the attendant?" Zhu Shunyao asked. He saw the attendant on the first floor sleeping soundly.

"My medicine makes them sleep. Without the antidote, they will sleep for three days. So we can walk openly," Zhu Yanyi said with a grin. Her medicine was great for robbery.

"They are in rooms 317, 318, and 319," Yan Aohan said after checking the records.

The three easily found the rooms. With Yan Aohan’s lock-picking skills, opening the doors was easy.

Sure enough, the people inside were sleeping deeply. Even thunder wouldn’t wake them.

"Let’s do the main thing," Zhu Yanyi said. She took out a small bottle and several colorful pills. She gave one to each person.

The men stood up with their eyes closed and started hitting each other. The most surprising thing was in room 320. Only Zhu Jinfu was there. Since no one else was there to fight, he started hitting the wall.

"Wow! This shouldn’t be called 'You Hit Me, I Beat You.' It should be 'Head Against the Wall,'" Zhu Yanyi said. She took out a small notebook and recorded: "Zhu Jinfu hit the wall for three minutes, then went back to bed. The other four fought for five minutes, then slept. They are bruised, but only have skin injuries. No internal damage. This is a great prank pill."

After recording, she went over and punched each of them once. Then she asked Zhu Shunyao, "Dad, don’t you want to punch them to vent your anger?"

Zhu Shunyao laughed helplessly. "I’m worried they might die if we keep hitting them."

"No," Zhu Yanyi said firmly. "They are healthy. These skin injuries will heal in two or three days."

She thought for a moment and took out another bottle. "Come, help me give them this. It will keep the bruises for seven days."

Yan Aohan understood immediately. "You don’t want them to appear at your sister’s wedding banquet?"

"Yes," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "They aren’t real relatives. We don’t need their gift money. Better to keep them hidden. I want to see how they can plot against us when they are too ashamed to go out."

"They are using the Zhu Guifu family," Yan Aohan said, but he still helped give them the medicine.

"The fourth branch is the worst," Zhu Yanyi laughed. "My dad can crush them alone, right, Dad?"

Zhu Shunyao chuckled. "You really trust your dad." He was happy inside. "You’re right. If the fourth branch comes to cause trouble, I can crush them."

The incident with the five yellow fish was only temporarily settled. When dealing with the fourth branch before, Zhu Enfu had warned them clearly: if they caused trouble again, they would no longer be part of Gǎn’ēn Village. If they dared to come now, Zhu Shunyao would admire their courage.
