Chapter 77: Jiang Weiyi Suffers the Sin of His Own

Jiang Weiyi hid in the house, listening to the praises outside, smelling the alluring fragrance, and then thinking of his brother's misery and his own isolation, he almost gritted his teeth in hatred.

She couldn't eat it, and she didn't want Shen Lingning to have an easy time!

She smelled the piercing fragrance and wanted to learn how to catch crayfish, thinking that the one she made would be even tastier than Shen Lingning's, which would slap her in the face.

But she didn't know how to pick and choose, and the shrimps she caught were of different sizes, and there were even dirty dead shrimps.

She was even more perfunctory in scrubbing it. She was reluctant to use so much oil and seasoning, so she just boiled it with water, and the fishy smell was so strong that it was impossible to swallow.

Failure made her even angrier.

These two days, her sister-in-law and Jiang Weimin went to the county for work, leaving her and her nephew at home.

She deliberately exaggerated in front of her nephew how delicious crayfish were, and urged him to go to the river to catch them himself.

"Those red bugs are so delicious! Your aunt and I barely had a few bites before they were gone. If you want to eat some, go catch them yourself. There are plenty of them by the river!"

The boy was so drooling at what she said that he secretly ran to the river to catch shrimps.

He didn't know the technique, and he was pinched and screamed. He didn't catch many and got covered in mud.

After returning, Jiang Weiyi hypocritically helped him cook the crayfish that were not cleaned properly. The child ate in a hurry and chewed the shells and meat together.

Not long after, the child began to develop rashes all over his body, had difficulty breathing, and his face turned purple. It was obvious that something was wrong!

It turned out that the child was mildly allergic to certain aquatic products, and coupled with Jiang Weiyi's improper handling, bacterial infection triggered a severe allergic reaction!

Jiang Weiyi was immediately panicked, but the next second, a more vicious idea popped up in his mind.

Instead of rushing to the hospital, she held the convulsing child and rushed out like crazy, crying and shouting directly to the center of the family compound:

"Murder! Shen Lingning killed someone! She used that poisonous insect to harm my nephew! Damn vicious woman!"

She cried and screamed, her voice shrill, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Seeing the child's horrible face, everyone was frightened for a moment and talked about it.

Shen Lingning came out upon hearing the sound, and when he saw this scene, his heart trembled, but he immediately calmed down.

She stepped forward quickly: "What's going on? Send him to the clinic!"

"It's you! It's your damned bug that's responsible! Pay for my nephew's life!"

Jiang Weiyi rushed forward and wanted to fight, but was stopped by the people around him.

Shen Lingning dodged her tearing and said in a clear and calm voice: "Comrade Jiang Weiyi, you must be responsible for your words! First, I have never given you or your nephew any food.

Second, many people eat crayfish, why are others fine?

Third, third, the most important thing for the child right now is to get him to the hospital, not to frame anyone here!"

Her words were clear and logical, and they enlightened everyone.

Yes, Shen Lingning sent it to several families and nothing happened, so why did Jiang Weiyi's nephew get into trouble?

Jiang Weiyi's face turned paler with every word Shen Lingning said, and in the end he just cried and didn't say a word.

Aunt Sun also stood up and said, "Xiao Jiang! Stop being confused! Hurry up and take the child to the clinic! If you delay any longer, the child will die!"

Zhou Weiguo also rushed back upon hearing the news. His face turned pale. Without saying a word, he snatched the child from the crying Jiang Weiyi's hands and strode towards the base clinic.

After emergency treatment by military doctors, the child was finally out of danger.

After examining the child, the military doctor stated, "The child has an allergic constitution, and the food he ate was unclean, which caused severe allergies and mild food poisoning. He must never touch anything like this again."

The truth is revealed!

Jiang Weiyi not only shirked responsibility, but also delayed the child's treatment.

Everyone in the family compound looked at her with contempt and condemnation.

Jiang Weiyi was still crying and defending herself: "I don't know, I don't know. I'm his aunt, how could I hurt him?"

The next day, Jiang Weimin and Ma Linghua returned home and saw their son's fever had subsided. They were heartbroken...

Seeing his son's weak appearance and listening to the neighbor lady's story, he was so angry that he trembled all over.

She didn't hit him, but stared at Jiang Weimin with red eyes: "Jiang Weimin! This is the good girl you protected! She almost killed my son! If you don't give me an explanation this time, I'll let you go! I can't live like this anymore!"

She cried and shouted that she wanted to take her son back to her parents' home.

Faced with his wife's collapse and the ironclad facts, Jiang Weimin's face turned pale and he could no longer say a word to defend his sister. He could only lower his head and let Ma Linghua deal with it.

Ma Linghua wrote a letter to the organization, requesting severe punishment for Jiang Weiyi, saying that she wanted to kill her son.

The leader called Zhou Weiguo and was furious after learning about the situation.

Jiang Weiyi had a bad record before, and this time he falsely accused his comrades and almost caused a disaster, which had an extremely bad impact.

After research, it was decided to remove Jiang Weiyi from the family compound and send him back to his hometown to be strictly disciplined by the local unit.

Jiang Weiyi's crying was in vain, and he was eventually sent away amidst a chorus of spitting.

She wanted to harm others, but ended up harming herself and got the punishment she deserved.

Her brother Jiang Weimin, who had been protecting her, went to the county to lobby for a job but failed. In addition, he felt guilty about the loss of the account book, so he lobbied for the position of deputy director of the county grain bureau and was quickly transferred.

This incident became a very satisfying topic of conversation in the family compound, and it also made everyone see Shen Lingning's calmness and innocence more clearly.

The weather was fine the weekend after Jiang Weiyi was driven away.

Zhou Weiguo took a rare break, so he held Fubao and went for a walk with Shen Lingning to the river at the foot of the mountain.

He made a small wreath for Fubao with willow branches, which made Fubao giggle.

Shen Lingning watched the father and daughter play, a relaxed smile on his face. The gurgling river and the warm sunshine temporarily washed away the tension and fatigue of the past few days.

Zhou Weiguo looked at his wife's gentle profile and whispered, "You've worked hard these past few days."

Shen Lingning shook his head: "It's okay. I just feel that life is finally getting better."

——

After Jiang Weiyi's incident, crayfish became even more famous.

Even several leaders who came to inspect the work at the base heard the story of this "unique feature of the family compound" while eating in the cafeteria and asked about it out of curiosity.

The canteen chef scratched his head and said, "Commander, that thing is too troublesome to handle. Our big stove can't handle it."

Political Commissar Zhang, who was accompanying them, was quick-witted and smiled as he mentioned, "It was Captain Xiao Zhou's wife, Comrade Shen Lingning, who came up with it. She's a good woman, smart and willing to work hard. She's recently been reclaiming land with her family, hoping to get some supplementary food for our officers and soldiers."

The leaders became interested: "Oh? There's such a thing? What should we plant in the wasteland?"

Zhou Weiguo happened to be standing nearby and immediately reported calmly, "Commander, my wife and other family members want to utilize the barren hills to try planting some drought-resistant crops and fruit trees. The main goal is to improve collective living conditions and alleviate some supply pressure. It's still in the early stages."

"That's a great idea! Adapt to local conditions and be self-reliant!"

A leader praised, "But you have to get the policy right. Your wife's name is Shen Lingning? Is she the one who makes... crayfish?"

"Yes, Chief."

"Haha, he seems to be a capable comrade! When it's convenient someday, let's try this cooking skill that has caused a sensation in the entire family compound?" another leader joked.

This seemingly casual joke is actually an excellent signal.
