When Luo Hao notified Lin Ye, Zhang Guixiang and Lu Jiajia were raiding Lin Ye's house, stuffing whatever delicious food they saw into their pockets.

Hearing that Lin Ye was going to deal with the dead crabs, Lu Jiajia insisted on going along. She was overjoyed; she usually complained that the fields were dirty and smelly, but this time she was more excited than anyone else.

Seeing their attentive manner, Lu Wanqing guessed that something was amiss, so she took Lin Ye's hand and followed him to the riverbank.

At first, when Lu Wanqing took Lin Ye's hand, he would blush and feel a pang in his heart. But after it happened a few times, he felt a little uncomfortable if she didn't take his hand, and he wasn't afraid of being laughed at by others.

When they arrived at the edge of the field, they found that a large crowd had already gathered there, all talking at once and analyzing who had done this despicable thing.

Lin Ye also examined the area and agreed with Wang Guangming's assessment that this was indeed a case of deliberate poisoning.

As for who it is, since it's farmland by the river, the people living by the river are the most likely suspects.

At this moment, Zhang Guixiang stepped forward and, relying on her age, said, "You can't analyze problems so irrationally. This field is open to the elements, anyone can walk through it. How can you be so sure it was done by someone who lives by the river?"

"If you don't live by the river, then who are you? You're not from here, so why are you causing trouble!" Luo Hao said irritably.

He had heard about the old woman's great achievements from Lin Ye and had no liking for her whatsoever.

Zhang Guixiang had no choice but to shut up.

"Alright, alright, it's no use saying anything now. There will be a meeting later, and I'll have to go door-to-door asking around." Wang Guangming's brows were furrowed with worry.

"Guangming, you go to the organization for a meeting first, and I'll see if there's any way to remedy the situation." Lin Ye nodded to him.

Soon, the crowd dispersed and went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.

Only Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye remained at the scene, along with Zhang Guixiang and Lu Jiajia who were sneaking around behind them.

"You can leave too, this is none of your business!" Lin Ye said coldly.

Zhang Guixiang showed no sign of leaving, chuckling foolishly, "We're just curious about what these hairy crabs look like!"

Just as Lu Wanqing briefly let go of Lin Ye's hand to pick up crabs, Lu Jiajia, who was standing by the field, slipped and fell into the field.

When Lu Jiajia fell, her hands grabbed wildly, finally grabbing Lu Wanqing's clothes. Like grasping at a straw, she pulled hard on her. Fortunately, she grabbed Lin Ye's hand in time, and Lin Ye also reacted quickly and held her waist firmly, otherwise Lu Jiajia would have pulled her down with her.

With a "thud," Lu Jiajia fell heavily into the field, splashing up a large puddle of mud and water.

As she hurriedly stood up, she cursed inwardly, "Lu Wanqing is so lucky. Even after all this sacrifice, I still didn't drag her down with me!"

She thought it was just a muddy field and it wouldn't matter if she fell in, but when she tried to stand up, she couldn't find any foothold in the soft mud, and she couldn't get up no matter how hard she tried.

Just then, Lu Wanqing displayed her superb acting skills, her eyes filled with tears as she said to Lin Ye, "Ah Ye, I was so scared just now! If Lu Jiajia had dragged me into this, our three babies might not have survived!"

When Lin Ye saw Lu Wanqing wink at him and say those words, he immediately understood what was going on. He raised his fist in anger and punched Lu Jiajia.

Lu Jiajia, who had almost managed to get up, sank back into the mud.

Lin Ye was seething with anger towards her, so he grabbed her hair and forcefully pushed her into the paddy field. "Are you doing this on purpose? She's pregnant! How could you be so vicious!"

Lu Jiajia's head bobbed up and down in the paddy field, her mouth filled with water, leaving her no chance to argue. Zhang Guixiang, seeing this, was terrified and hurriedly tried to stop Lin Ye while pleading, "Son-in-law, don't be angry. You didn't tell us Qingqing was pregnant! Jiajia fell down herself, how can it be a misunderstanding!"

Lin Ye didn't care about her. He thought to himself, "Isn't it just a matter of pretending to be unaware and faking a fall? If Lu Wanqing really falls in the field after being taken by Lu Jiajia and loses her child, they can still say that ignorance is no excuse!"

How malicious his intentions are!

Since that's the case, don't blame him for being ruthless towards his mother-in-law!

With a light flick of his wrist, he threw Zhang Guixiang into the field as well.

Despite being soaked to the bone, Zhang Guixiang rushed over to help Lu Jiajia. Seeing that Lu Jiajia's lips were turning purple, Lin Ye stopped at Lu Wanqing's signal.

"Oh dear, what happened to your lips?" Lu Wanqing exclaimed, feigning surprise. "Oh, someone poisoned this place. The water is full of pesticides, and all the crabs are dead. I wonder what would happen if someone drank it?"

Lu Jiajia was terrified when she heard this. She grabbed Zhang Guixiang's clothes and cried, "Mom, I don't want to die, please take me to the hospital."

"Okay, okay, I'll have your brother-in-law take you to the hospital right away." Zhang Guixiang was also in a flurry of activity.

Lin Ye didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he left the two of them and walked towards the house by the river.

Zhang Guixiang was so angry she wanted to curse, but she could only take Lu Jiajia back to the educated youth settlement first.

Everyone was busy dealing with the crab poisoning, so no one had time to pay attention to them!

All she could do was make Lu Jiajia keep pouring water into her stomach to induce vomiting, trying to get her to expel all the toxins.

But once the toxins have been absorbed, vomiting them out is futile.

Although her life was saved, her health collapsed, and she became bedridden and never recovered.

Soon, under Lu Wanqing's guidance, Lin Ye detoxified the crabs in the field, and they regained their vitality.

Of course, the real antidote was the spiritual spring water that Lu Wanqing secretly poured in.

The spring water was inexhaustible, yet she didn't want to give Lu Jiajia even a single drop.

The poison has been neutralized, but the person who poisoned them has not been found.

Lu Wanqing vaguely guessed that Zhang Guixiang knew about it, and if she was willing to expose the person, she planned to give Lu Jiajia some extra nutrition.

Unfortunately, Zhang Guixiang was stubborn. Even when Lu Jiajia fell ill from the pesticide, she only blamed Lu Wanqing for being too cunning. Wang Xiuqin was a close friend she had worked so hard to befriend; how could she possibly betray her!

He even told Lu Jiajia that once she recovered, he would definitely settle accounts with Lin Ye!

"Yeah, I don't believe that Qi Wei would just stand by and do nothing after I've been bullied like this by Lin Ye. This is a matter of his dignity as a man!"

The two still harbored unrealistic fantasies about Qi Wei.

Lu Wanqing was not annoyed; instead, she smiled and shook her head.

She returned home and found a letter that Lu Xiuwu had written to her a while ago.

Since it had nothing to do with her anymore, she simply smiled and let it go after reading the letter.

Unexpectedly, that letter came in handy.

After reading the letter, Zhang Guixiang's hand holding the letter trembled uncontrollably. Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a sharp blade, and she couldn't stop the pain.

"Fine, Wang Xiuqin, your son has done such a thing, I'll tear you apart!" She ignored Lu Jiajia and walked towards the Lin family's house by the river.
