Chapter 49 Food Poisoning

A figure in a pink dress flashed through Ye Ying's mind, and she remembered that it was that cute girl.

"Oh, it's her. I didn't give her anything to eat, just a few potatoes." Ye Ying said.

Seeing Lin Ranran looking so anxious, I was afraid that the little girl might be pregnant.

Fearing that Lin Ranran would blame the potatoes for her niece's stomach upset, Ye Ying took the initiative and pointed at the plate of salt and pepper potatoes on the table.

"Look, Ji Lianqi and I are also eating these potatoes."

Lin Ranran ignored the plate of peppered potatoes and cursed, "You stupid woman, do you want to kill my niece? She ate your potatoes and came back to me complaining about a stomachache!"

Ji Lianqi, who was standing by, frowned when he heard this: "Is the child okay? Besides the stomachache, are there any other symptoms?"

"The child is still vomiting and having diarrhea!" Lin Ranran looked at Ji Lianqi helplessly.

The next moment, when he turned to Ye Ying, he seemed to be a different person again: "Idiot, did you feed the sprouted potatoes to the child?!"

"No, that's absolutely impossible." Ye Ying hastily denied, "I specifically picked potatoes that hadn't sprouted to cook."

Lin Ranran didn't believe it. She thought that if the potato was bitten to death, it was because Ye Ying was not careful and gave the sprouted potato to the child, so the child ate it and it went bad.

Hearing this, Ji Lianqi walked over and looked at the remaining potatoes in the sack and found that some of them had indeed sprouted.

Therefore, this possibility cannot be ruled out for the time being.

Lin Ranran hurriedly asked: "How is it, Brother Lianqi, have the potatoes sprouted?"

The answer is of course yes.

But Ye Ying was sure that she did not take the sprouted potatoes out to cook.

She looked at Lin Ranran who was waiting anxiously at the door and squinted her eyes and said:

"The child has a stomachache. Shouldn't you take her to see a doctor right away? Why are you still wasting time here? Is your trouble with me more important than the child's condition?"

According to common sense, if someone who cares about children learns that their child is not feeling well, shouldn't they take the child to the hospital as soon as possible?

Why did this woman come here first to pursue the blame and leave the child alone?

Ye Ying felt something was wrong.

"You!" Lin Ranran was speechless for a moment, and turned to look at Ji Lianqi for help: "Brother Lianqi, my brother is not here now, can you accompany me to take the child to see him?"

Ji Lianqi hesitated for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.

Ye Ying looked at their hurriedly leaving figures, then looked down at the pepper and salt potatoes on the plate, picked up a piece and ate it.

It smells good, but why does it taste bland?

There must be not enough salt, she thought.

After eating a few bites, Ye Ying put away her bowl and chopsticks and went to knock on Liu Juan's door.

Liu Juan was extremely surprised to see Ye Ying standing outside the door.

Although the two of them did not quarrel again when they met, their relationship did not improve, so Liu Juan was very wary of Ye Ying's proactive visits.

"What do you want to do now?"

"I came here to ask you if Xiaotian is feeling unwell? Is he vomiting?"

When Liu Juan heard this, her expression suddenly became serious: "You damn woman, did you feed my son something dirty?"

Sure enough, it was exactly as Ye Ying had imagined on the road.

Once Liu Juan is involved with her son, she immediately turns into a lioness.

"Answer me first, does your son show the symptoms I described?" Ye Ying said helplessly.

"Not now." Liu Juan stared at Ye Ying suspiciously, then raised her finger and pointed at her nose and scolded:

"Ye Ying, let me tell you, if my son has something to do today, you just have to wait!"

Ye Ying heaved a sigh of relief when she learned that Xiaotian was fine, so Liu Juan's harsh words didn't mean anything to her.

It seems that the problem is not with her potatoes.

If there was something wrong with the potatoes, then the other children who ate the potatoes should have more or less developed the same symptoms. How could it be that only the little girl was affected?

This could be an accidental incident. Why are you so afraid of putting the blame on her right away?

"Where is Xiaotian now?"

Ye Ying was worried and wanted to find the other children who ate potatoes through Xiaotian to confirm their situation.

"What on earth do you want to do, you fat bitch?" Liu Juan muttered unhappily.

"Nothing, I just want to ask him something."

"What is it?"

Seeing that Liu Juan still didn't want her to meet Xiaotian smoothly, Ye Ying had no choice but to shout into the house from outside the door: "Xiaotian, do you want to eat popsicles?"

"Yes!" Xiaotian rushed out of the house, "I want to eat popsicles!"

Seeing her son being so useless and having to compromise on food again, Liu Juan was so angry that she could only roll her eyes.

"If you want to eat popsicles, you have to tell your auntie who those kids you played with today are? What are their names?" Ye Ying forced her tone to sound as gentle as possible.

After all, she has always kept her distance from naughty kids and has almost no patience for them.

With the temptation of the popsicle in front of him, Xiaotian told her the names of the children and who their parents were without thinking, in detail.

Ye Ying got her message and turned to leave. After a few steps, she heard Xiao Tian's howling voice from behind: "You are lying, where is my popsicle?"

She could only owe this naughty kid the popsicle for now.

Ye Ying ran to several apartment buildings and found these children one by one.

The highest floor of this tube-shaped building is the sixth floor, while the children live on the fifth or sixth floor. After a few trips, Ye Ying was already tired like a dog.

Fortunately, she was able to confirm one thing: the children who ate the salt and pepper potatoes were fine.

From this point of view, we can basically rule out the problem of potatoes.

Ji Lianqi didn't come back until around nine o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that he looked tired, Ye Ying hurried forward and asked, "How is the child? Is he okay? What did the doctor say?"

Ji Lianqi shook his head and sat down.

"The initial diagnosis is food poisoning. The child is still receiving intravenous drips in the hospital. The specific cause of the vomiting has not yet been determined and is still under test."

"Then... is Lin Ranran accompanying you?"

"Yes." Ji Lianqi nodded and looked up at Ye Ying: "Don't feed the children in the courtyard anymore."

Ye Ying's heart sank: "What's the matter? You don't believe me either."

Although Ji Lianqi did not say it explicitly, one can still guess what he meant.

Ji Lianqi lowered his eyes, a shadow cast under his eyelashes.

After a while, he said, "At least before the test results come out."

What this means is that he only believes what he sees and the results presented.

"It's up to you." Ye Ying could understand, so she didn't get angry. The worst that could happen was that she would just wait for the result.

She threw up her hands helplessly, "Although I am illiterate, I am not ignorant. Eat the sprouted potatoes!"
