As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...
Fan Zhaodi followed behind the old village chief, but when they were almost at the door of the house, she turned around and ran to the high ground on the other side.
After all, Grandma was Uncle's biological mother. With everyone in the village present, it would be easy for gossip to arise if Uncle's family wasn't there.
We should still go and inform them. With the old village chief around, even if my uncle pays for the doctor's treatment, the old village chief will make my parents pay for it afterwards.
Not only Fan Jin followed, but also Shui Qing, Yan Qiu, Fan Jiang, and others.
Midday is when every household in the village is at its busiest.
The courtyard was already overflowing with people, and when they saw Fan Jin's family coming over, they quickly made way for a narrow passage that was barely wide enough for one person to pass through.
As soon as Shui Qing entered the room, the pungent stench almost drove her out again.
Listening to Zhao Di's description on the way, I learned that one type of symptoms was digestive symptoms, and the other type was circulatory system symptoms.
However, this varies from person to person. Those who eat a lot and are in poor health will have more severe symptoms, while those who eat little and are in good health will have much milder symptoms.
Among the group, the elderly and immobile Fan's mother was clearly in much worse condition, followed by Fan's grandson Jinhua, while the four pillars were much better—at least they could run to the outhouse.
"Come on, come on, the hot soup is here! Everyone make way, I'll pour it in!" the kind-hearted man shouted, carrying a bucket.
As he walked, people on both sides quickly made way for him, creating a particularly wide path!
Shui Qing was particularly curious: why were these people being so conscientious this time?
As the man drew closer, the stench became so overpowering that she involuntarily took a few steps back.
Fan Jin, standing beside her, gently placed his warm, dry hand on her waist and whispered, "Jintang is excrement, meant to make them vomit it out."
Shuiqing: ...vomit
“People in the village used this when they accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms before, and it worked very well,” Fan Jin said in a low voice.
Shui Qing nodded, indicating that this was to induce vomiting.
The room immediately became a mess.
Some supported Fan's mother, some supported Sun Jinhua, and some supported Fan's predecessors.
Everyone pinched their own noses with one hand and pried open their mouths with the other, trying to stretch them as wide as possible.
Li Wu scooped up a large spoonful of the golden soup from the wooden bucket and poured it down his throat. Someone next to him urged, "Pour more in, otherwise it won't work!"
Soon after, a chorus of vomiting sounds began to rise.
The house was filled with a mixture of smells: feces, vomit... It was impossible for anyone to stay there, not even the men and women in the village who were used to using farmyard manure.
They rushed into the yard, breathing in the fresh air!
They had never felt the air outside so fresh and sweet!
"Oh dear, that room is unbearable! I almost had to come out with my lunch."
"It's okay, it's okay, just throw it up. As long as you're alive, we can deal with the rest later."
"Let them clean it up themselves, I really can't."
"Zhao Di has suffered. By the way, her parents, grandmother, and brothers are all in trouble, so why is she the only one who is alright?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Fan Zhaodi.
The thin and short Fan Zhaodi was immediately looked at by everyone. She moved her mouth, nervously unsure of what to do.
“My mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law always give away good things, but the maids never get any. I know this better than anyone.”
This time, perhaps they got some good food and were reluctant to share it with Zhao Di, a little girl. Unexpectedly, heaven was kind to them and let her escape this calamity.” Shui Qing’s few words lightly absolved Zhao Di of all responsibility.
Everyone agreed and immediately understood.
You can tell from the fact that Sun Jinhua had four sons and the names he gave to his only daughter.
Their past words and actions also show that Fan's mother and her family do not like girls, are harsh on their granddaughter, and are capable of not giving good things to Zhao Di!
