A modern wealthy young woman, Luo Jingyan, accidentally transmigrated to the 1970s, becoming a short-lived minor supporting character in a period novel. Her parents were framed, forcing her to take...
Song Qingsong pondered for a moment. If he had a father-in-law and mother-in-law who were involved in human trafficking, it would probably have an impact on his future career.
Although their relationship with the Xue family is not good now, as Xue Ningnan is the Xue family's daughter, the Xue family will not abandon them when it comes to a critical moment.
"Wife, are you afraid that the Xue family will find this woman here later?"
"Well, if my grandma or Luo Jingyan finds out, my grandma already dislikes me, and Luo Jingyan is even worse. She would definitely be hoping I'm not a member of the Xue family. If they see this woman, they'll definitely have suspicions. Once they find out I'm not a biological daughter of the Xue family, they'll immediately sever ties with me. They might even resent me for taking away more than twenty years of that woman's life. I'll send her back to her original parents, Qingsong. I don't want that."
Song Qingsong pondered for a moment, "So, the story about the vegetables being poisonous isn't true, is it? It was just a tactic his wife used to get rid of this woman."
Xue Ningnan did not respond.
Song Qingsong said, "Since this woman used poisoned vegetables to harm us, I will not let her get away with it."
Xue Ningnan smiled, knowing that Song Qingsong would help her; the man was probably afraid of being implicated.
"Honey, let's go over there and confront her."
The two men approached Sheng Yuwan, and Song Qingsong said without any politeness, "Comrade, please come with me to the police station. My wife and I ate your food the day before yesterday, and we were both poisoned. We had diarrhea all day long and almost died. I suspect you deliberately poisoned us. Please come with me to the police station."
Sheng Yuwan was startled when she heard what he said.
The worst thing about doing business is having someone cause trouble, and this man even wanted her to go to the police station, which made her panic.
Looking at the woman next to the man, it turned out to be the same woman who had bought groceries from her last time and even talked to her.
She wasn't sure if there was really something wrong with her vegetables, because she had heard that vegetables could become contaminated with rat poison if they were bitten by rats that had been poisoned.
But she carefully checked all the vegetables when she harvested them and found no one that had been gnawed by rats. Could it be that she made a mistake due to carelessness?
She looked at Song Qingsong and Xue Ningnan: "Are you sure there's something wrong with my food? Maybe you ate something else or caught a cold, which is why you have diarrhea."
"No, there's nothing wrong with the rice and steamed buns we've been eating. We only started feeling unwell and had diarrhea after eating your food. Comrade, come with me to the police station, and we'll explain things to the police in front of them."
"Think again, did you eat anything else that went bad?"
"No, we're sure there's something wrong with your dish."
"Wah wah wah".
Beibei was already physically weak, and seeing others arguing with her mother frightened her so much that she burst into tears.
"Waaaaah, Mommy, Beibei is so scared, they're all so fierce!"
Sheng Yuwan picked her up and patted her back, coaxing her, "Beibei, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Because the commotion was quite loud, it quickly attracted the attention of other people in the market, and many people came over to watch.
After hearing that there was something wrong with the vegetables sold by Sheng Yuwan, some people who were unaware of the facts said, "Luckily I found out that the vegetables she sells are inedible. I won't buy her vegetables in the future."
“I used to buy her vegetables often, and I was fine after eating them. However, I won’t buy from her anymore, just in case something really happens someday. There are many vegetable vendors around here, so I can just buy from someone else.”
Xue Ningnan reached out and grabbed Sheng Yuwan, saying, "This lady, come with us to the police station. If you're innocent, you don't need to be afraid."
Sheng Yuwan didn't want to go to the police station. First, she had two children to take care of; her daughter was frail, and it was already difficult enough for her to go grocery shopping. She didn't have the energy to go to the police station to resolve this matter. Second, would going to the police station clear her name? Because she genuinely didn't know if there was anything wrong with her vegetables.
She had never had any conflicts with anyone before, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
Her daughter was still sobbing in her arms. Feeling agitated, she took out a handful of loose change from her pocket to calm things down as quickly as possible. She counted it and found it to be one dollar and twenty-three cents, which she gave to Song Qingsong.
"Comrade, I don't know if there's something wrong with my vegetables. If there really is something wrong with my vegetables, I'll give you all the money I made today, and we can just let this matter go, okay?"
Neither Song Qingsong nor Xue Ningnan would accept the money. Xue Ningnan said, "You gave us both diarrhea all day, almost killing us. You think you can get rid of us with just one dollar?"
The harsher they were, the harder Beibei cried, followed by a rapid coughing fit that she couldn't stop crying from doing.
"Mom, I feel unwell, my chest hurts so much."
"Beibei, Mommy won't sell vegetables anymore. Mommy will take you to the hospital, okay?"
Xue Ningnan grabbed her arm: "We haven't sorted things out yet, you can't leave."
Sheng Yuwan was worried about her daughter and had no desire to get entangled with Song Qingsong and Xue Ningnan. She only had two yuan left in her pocket, which she needed to use for her daughter's medical treatment and medicine.
She took out another dollar and gave it to Xue Ningnan: "This is all I have, I don't have any more. My daughter is sick, please let me go and let me take her to see a doctor."
Xue Ningnan was not willing to give up. It seemed that this was too light a blow to the other party. Could it really stop her from coming to the market again?
But passersby couldn't stand it anymore: "The girl's daughter is sick. Can't you see how badly she's coughing? Why won't you leave her alone?"
