Chapter 579 Eldest Sister 36

Since she had nothing else to do, Ning Yan slept until eleven o'clock.

I took out a plate of braised pork knuckle from the Divine Palace, steamed two bowls of rice, and stir-fried some cabbage. That was my lunch.

Guang Sheng didn't come back at noon as expected. The mother and daughter had a big meal, and the little guy kept staring at Ning Yan, seemingly wanting to say something but not actually doing so.

"Is there something you want to say to me?"

Niu Niu nodded, but seeing that his mother seemed fine, he shook his head again, "No."

Even if the child is very smart, he is still young. He doesn't understand why his father would say that his mother went back to her hometown when she was just a little late coming home, and why he would tell him that his mother didn't go anywhere yesterday.

But he knew he just needed to remember what his father said: when he got home from school every night, his mother washed his hands and made him and his father hand-pulled noodles, which smelled delicious.

Ning Yan: She's just a little kid, but she's so deep. If I don't ask, she won't say anything.

...

Guang Sheng returned home around 10 p.m. seven days later.

Ning Yan offered to cook for him, but Guang Sheng stopped her, saying, "No need, I'll eat at work."

As he spoke, he poured hot water to wipe himself down. On such a cold day, they would go to the public bathhouse to shower; at home, they could only wipe themselves down.

After tidying up, the man took off his clothes and got into bed. Then he put his arm around Ning Yan and said, "Wife, you can go out shopping without worry from now on."

Ning Yan nestled against his chest and listened quietly as he spoke.

"The case has been solved."

Unfortunately, they didn't catch him; he probably got advance warning and escaped.

But it doesn't matter, he can't escape forever; he'll be caught sooner or later.

Guang Sheng's tone was full of joy when he said this, because the appearance of this recording exposed all the things that someone had done, and the leader had even made a contribution. He was genuinely happy, and he no longer had to worry about his wife being targeted when she went out.

As for whether Qu Jingui is dead or not? He's just a tiger with its teeth pulled. All his men have been captured. If he dares to show his face, he'll only face death.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

When Lian Mingcheng was caught in the act of adultery, he was injured and it took him several months to recover before he could be used again, but he was not as vigorous as before.

He hated Mu Xiaoxiao and the Mu family, and even wrote a letter to the authorities, which led to the Mu family's downfall. Mu's parents were arrested and sent to a remote island in the south.

Upon hearing the news, Mu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. In her previous life, her family had lived a good life. She should have taken Lian Mingcheng back to the city in the winter of 1974. In this life, she and Lian Mingcheng had a falling out, and she could never take Lian Mingcheng back. So, her family was in trouble.

She was filled with hatred. Her Mu family had done nothing to wrong Lian Mingcheng, yet he disregarded all past friendships and directly attacked her family. She was determined to be Lian Mingcheng's sworn enemy!

So for the next few years, Mu Xiaoxiao read books whenever she had time and worked diligently in the team, after all, no one would mail her anything anymore.

She just needs to wait it out until the college entrance examination is reinstated so she can reunite with her family.

However, her beautiful dream was soon shattered. In the spring of 1976, she received a letter from her elder brother. Her father, unable to cope with the sudden tragedy and suffering, committed suicide by drowning. Her mother, overwhelmed by the shock, died before being taken to the hospital.

The loss of both parents was a devastating blow that left Mu Xiaoxiao devastated, followed by hatred!

Overwhelmed by hatred, she began to prepare to kill Lian Mingcheng in one fell swoop.

The college entrance examination is about to be reinstated. Lian Mingcheng is a reincarnation, so he must have made preparations long ago. That person is also very smart, and he will definitely be able to take this opportunity to return to the city.

Anyway, she got this life for free, so she won't die unjustly.

She started deliberately hanging around in front of Lian Mingcheng, occasionally saying something ambiguous.

Men are all shameless. Even though he and Mu Xiaoxiao had such a bad relationship, he still fell for her attempts to make amends.

One day, Lian Mingcheng was invited to secretly enter Mu Xiaoxiao's three mud-brick houses.

Mu Xiaoxiao opened the door for him, and then the two of them went inside intimately.

Mu Xiaoxiao prepared several delicious dishes and wine in advance.

Lian Mingcheng waited with a smile for Mu Xiaoxiao to serve him. No matter how much he hated Mu Xiaoxiao, she was still younger and prettier than the widow in his family. Why not take advantage of someone who was offered to him?

He still thought Mu Xiaoxiao was unaware that he was the one who reported the Mu family's affairs.

Therefore, he had no idea that Mu Xiaoxiao had arranged a death banquet for him tonight.

The dish is stir-fried mushrooms with cured pork. The cured pork was dried in the winter, and the mushrooms were picked by her personally from the mountain these past few days.

Bok choy stew with tofu. The bok choy was grown in the yard, and the tofu was bought in advance.

There was also a plate of braised pork, a plate of fried peanuts, and a bottle of fine Fenjiu liquor.

She bought this plate of meat with meat coupons she obtained by exchanging grain.

She kept putting food on Lian Mingcheng's plate, and ate some herself, urging him as she ate, "Eat more. You've lost so much weight in the last two years. Uncle Lian and Aunt Lian must be heartbroken to see you like this."

Looking at her attentiveness, Lian Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh. If this woman had treated him like this earlier, he wouldn't have written that letter of complaint, and the two of them wouldn't have had to endure so many years in the countryside, aging ten years in the process.

He ate and drank, accepting all the food Mu Xiaoxiao put on his plate.

But he didn't realize that Mu Xiaoxiao had never touched that stir-fried mushrooms with cured pork.

Halfway through the meal, Lian Mingcheng felt as if he were seeing a hallucination, with a bunch of busty beauties surrounding him. He wanted to hug and hold them all, and in the end, he couldn't keep up with them all.

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then he lost consciousness.

Mu Xiaoxiao tied Lian Mingcheng up with hemp rope and secured him inside the house. Then she poured all the oil in the house onto Lian Mingcheng's body, wrapped a quilt around him, lit the quilt with a match, and with a bang, Lian Mingcheng burst into flames.

Lian Mingcheng was awakened by the fever, but he was still hallucinating. The pain had not helped him recover from the aftereffects of eating the poisonous mushrooms.

Mu Xiaoxiao's house was built on the outskirts of the village, so no one noticed the fire even after it had been burning for quite some time.

She took out the remaining half plate of mushrooms and stuffed them all into her mouth, then ran to the yard and lay down without moving.

When the villagers discovered the fire, Mu Xiaoxiao was scratching at the sky, shouting, "My apples, big apples, they're all mine! And the bananas, the bananas are mine too! Nobody's allowed to take them!"

The brigade leader and the secretary arrived. "What happened? It looks like they've been poisoned by mushrooms."

"Go quickly and call the doctor."

The barefoot doctor was quickly summoned. "This is poisoning! Get him to the hospital immediately, I have no medicine!"

The villagers worked together to finally put out the fire. Someone exclaimed, "Secretary, there's still someone inside the house, and they're already dead!"
