the next day,

Xu Xinning was hurriedly woken up by Grandma Xu and Yang Chunqin.

They rushed into Xu Xinning's room and said that something had happened to Old Mrs. Chen.

Xu Xinning was startled and quickly dressed, grabbed her first-aid kit, and went to the Chen family's house.

After all, they had a revolutionary friendship, having gone through meals together every day.

Chen Ping has set off; Yao Dahai came to fetch him.

The old man was probably really scared; when he ran out, he was only wearing one shoe.

When Xu Xinning arrived next door, Wang Ying and Chen Jianguo were in the elderly couple's room.

As soon as you enter the room, you can smell a strange odor.

Grandma Chen is very clean. She keeps her home and herself very tidy. Even Yao Dahai is supervised by her to change his clothes every day, wash his hands when he gets home, and wash his feet before going to bed.

But there was a strange smell in the room, and Xu Xinning's heart skipped a beat. She felt that Old Mrs. Chen's sudden illness might be troublesome.

When Wang Ying saw Xu Xinning run in, she immediately made way for her and said anxiously, "Ningning, quickly take a look at your aunt. How did she suddenly become like this? She was fine when she went to bed last night."

At this moment, Old Mrs. Chen's mouth was crooked to one side, her eyes were fixed on something, and her body was very stiff.

Xu Xinning knew at a glance that it was a stroke.

But Xu Xinning was certain that Old Mrs. Chen had no such premonition at all.

In fact, Xu Xinning also gives the medicine she usually makes to Grandma Chen. Grandma Chen is a very health-conscious person, and every time she goes to digest her food with Xu Xinning, she always tells Xu Xinning how she feels after taking the medicine.

It wasn't that Xu Xinning was overconfident; if Old Mrs. Chen had been taking her medication, it would have been impossible for her to suddenly suffer a stroke.

Xu Xinning took her pulse and examined her body carefully, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Given the current situation, it's impossible for Grandma Chen to recover to her former state.

Yao Dahai walked over tremblingly and asked softly, "Girl, can your great-aunt be cured? You don't need to hide it from me, I can handle it."

Xu Xinning: "Uncle, Aunt... I'll have to trouble you to take good care of her from now on. I'll do my best, but I can't make her go back to normal."

Yao Dahai tremblingly reached out to wipe away the drool that Old Mrs. Chen was drooling from, his eyes red-rimmed, and choked out, "Girl, your great-uncle believes in you. Just do your best."

Grandma Xu, her eyes also red, comforted her, "Nannan's medical skills are so good, she will definitely be cured slowly, we must believe in her."

Yao Dahai nodded. "I believe you. My wife will definitely get better. She loves excitement so much, she won't end up like this."

Grandma Chen's illness came suddenly, catching everyone off guard. Xu Xinning also found it strange, so she deliberately kicked everyone out of the room. She wanted to take Grandma Chen to the space for a comprehensive examination.

The sudden illness of Old Mrs. Chen caused both families to feel down, and the second wife's side also welcomed a large group of her relatives.

The second wife's family was still having breakfast when the person arrived, immediately trapping everyone in the kitchen.

"His aunt, his uncle, please save Jiabao! Only you can save him."

The elderly couple from the second wife were unaware that their nephew had been sentenced to death. They harbored resentment towards him, believing that without him, they wouldn't be living their current lives.

"Aunt, Uncle, the child is still young. If Jiabao is gone, how will we, a widow and orphan, survive?"

"Little sister, brother-in-law, Jiabao is a bit of a troublemaker, but it was all consensual. It's not a reason for him to die. Brother-in-law, your nephew is the director of the Public Security Bureau. Go and talk to him quickly and put him in jail. You absolutely cannot have him executed."

"Yes! Brother-in-law, please go and beg your nephew for help. This is a matter of life and death!"

"That's right, we're all relatives, what's there to hide?"

The elderly couple from the second branch sat there silently with their heads down. Who could they turn to for help? They were barely able to take care of themselves, how could they possibly help others?

Xu Yaoyang was very annoyed. His maternal grandparents' family was always dragging him down. They had no real skills, but they were good at using others' influence to their advantage. They had often acted arrogantly outside the family just because his brother-in-law's family had produced a bureau chief.

If it weren't for them, their family wouldn't be in this state now.

The two children were terrified and huddled around Xu Yaoyang and his wife, staring in horror at the large group of people.

Li Jiabao's mother and wife sat on the ground, wailing and crying, which attracted the attention of the brigade members who had not yet gone to work.

The Xu family has no interest in dealing with this matter now. Besides, they've already announced in the newspaper that they're severing ties, so it's none of their business. At most, they'll just watch the show.

Xu Xinning examined Old Lady Chen very carefully and found the culprit that caused her stroke in her body. If it weren't for the advanced equipment that Xu Xinning's mother had in her previous life, it would have been impossible to find with the medical technology of the 1970s.

Unfortunately, it took too long. If we had sought treatment as soon as we noticed something was wrong last night, this tragedy could have been avoided.

Although the culprit was found, Xu Xinning was very puzzled as to how this thing got into Old Mrs. Chen's body. If it was accidentally ingested, then why was she the only one of the four family members to be affected?

As soon as Xu Xinning left the room, the Chen and Xu families gathered around her.

Grandma Xu: "Daughter, how are you?"

Xu Xinning: "Grandma, don't worry, I have something to ask Aunt and Uncle."

Wang Ying: "Ningning, what do you want to ask?"

Xu Xinning: "Auntie, did you have dinner together last night?"

Wang Ying: "We ate together."

Xu Xinning: "Is there anything that you all didn't eat but my great-aunt ate all by herself?"

Wang Ying: "No, I can confirm that we ate everything she ate during the meal, but we don't know what happened after the meal."

Yao Dahai: "My wife doesn't have the habit of eating after meals. I'm sure she hasn't eaten anything other than dinner."

Wang Ying: "Ningning, what's wrong with my mom? Did she eat something wrong?"

Xu Xinning looked at her thoughtfully, then shook her head and said, "It's just my suspicion; I'm not sure yet."

Wang Ying wiped away her tears and said, "She was perfectly fine when we were eating last night, how did she turn out like this after just one night's sleep?"

Xu Xinning didn't know what to say, so she said to Yao Dahai, "Uncle, if you can, please turn Auntie over more often. I will come over every day to give her acupuncture and massage. Let's try our best to help Auntie recover better."

Yao Dahai wiped away his tears and said, "Sigh, sigh, your great-uncle will listen to you."

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu were also very depressed. They couldn't understand how a perfectly healthy person could suddenly fall ill. Just yesterday, they were peeking over the wall watching their family's commotion.

At this moment, Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu desperately hoped that Grandma Chen would get out of bed and peek over the wall to watch their family's antics. If that were the case, they would let her do whatever she wanted without getting angry.
