How can I feed you if you don't open your mouth? Li Su looked at Wu Daqiang with a rather innocent expression.
With the food right in front of him, Wu Daqiang suddenly regretted agreeing so readily. Kong Hua would take the medicine, and the dosage wouldn't be small. What if he took it and something went wrong?
But Li Su was right there, and if Wu Daqiang refused, he would have to eat the bramble. Caught in this dilemma, Wu Daqiang came up with a good idea.
Wu Daqiang opened his mouth and was eating when he suddenly leaned forward, clearly wanting to spit out the food.
Li Su didn't stop him, and just watched as the food she had fed to Wu Daqiang was spat out intact.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I've never eaten such bitter food before, I threw up right away, Susu, you'll understand, right?"
That's what she said, but looking at Wu Daqiang's smug expression, Li Su sneered. There are always some people who are blind to the truth and can't see the situation at hand.
"It's okay, I don't mind at all. You can still eat it even if you throw it up."
Li Su kicked Wu Daqiang to the ground, her face landing squarely on the vegetables he had vomited. She then produced a rice scoop from somewhere.
He scooped up all the food that had been spat on the ground with a spoon and stuffed it all into Wu Daqiang's mouth without leaving a trace. Wu Daqiang didn't even have a chance to resist.
Whenever he tried to shut his mouth, Li Su would hit him with thorns. Before he could even cry out in pain, food mixed with dust and dirt would be stuffed into his mouth.
If you don't want to choke, you have no choice but to swallow it.
"Look, Uncle Wu, you seem to be enjoying your meal quite a bit!"
After this incident, Wu Daqiang dared not cause any more trouble and obediently finished the rest of the food, not daring to waste a single bite.
When it came to Kong Hua's turn, with Wu Daqiang's example as a precedent, Kong Hua didn't dare to resist at all and finished eating smoothly as well.
After cleaning up the dishes and belongings, Li Su looked at Wu Daqiang lying on the ground like a dead pig, and felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
Evil people will eventually face their just deserts.
After untying the ropes binding the two men, Li Su wasn't worried at all about Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua resisting. "Look," she thought, "they don't even have the strength to stand up, how could they possibly have the strength to resist?"
Have a pleasant evening.
With a smile, Li Su thoughtfully locked the door.
The stars are bright tonight, and the sun should shine brightly tomorrow, but the two people inside will never see it again.
No one knew the true extent of the poison in the food better than Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua.
They found the medicine themselves, and they did what they wanted with their relationship. If they accidentally overdosed on the medication and he left in a drunken stupor, what did that have to do with her?
Just like her father back then, he simply fell into the river by accident.
After destroying all the uneaten food in the main room and washing all the pots and pans in the kitchen, making sure nothing was missed, Li Su walked out the door with measured steps.
She was going to see someone, someone who wasn't exactly kind to her, nor unkind, but at most indifferent.
"You've arrived."
A hoarse voice echoed from the dimly lit alley, as if it had known Li Su was coming all along.
"I'm here, Aunt Zhao."
Aunt Zhao, also known as Aunt Zhao, looked at Li Su with a flicker of emotion in her eyes.
"Was it successful?"
"It's a success."
Upon hearing those three words, Aunt Zhao was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled through her tears.
"Okay, okay, okay."
After saying "good" three times in a row, Aunt Zhao walked back the way she came. There was a glimmer of light in the distance. Aunt Zhao walked into the light, then walked back into the darkness.
Watching Aunt Zhao's figure, Li Su touched her cheek, realizing that she seemed to have been crying without realizing it.
She knew Aunt Zhao. When she was little, Li's mother didn't care for her and wouldn't feed her. It was Aunt Zhao who would occasionally give her a bite to eat, which kept her alive.
Aunt Zhao was also a witness who saw Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua attack Li's father. In addition, Aunt Zhao was Li's father's revolutionary partner back then. They were about to get married, but Li's mother interfered.
Mr. Li had no choice but to stay with Mrs. Li in the end, while Aunt Zhao lost her reputation because of the separation from Mr. Li.
Everyone knows it was Li's mother's fault, but times change, and Aunt Zhao's reputation was ruined as well; everyone said she was jilted.
There was nothing else Zhao's family could do but marry her off. With her reputation ruined, what good man could she possibly marry?
Aunt Zhao eventually married into the Zhang family, which lived not far from the Li family. The Zhang family was known for their violence, and Aunt Zhao was beaten every day after moving in. But life had to go on.
There are only a few things in a person's life.
Having accomplished the previous tasks, all that's left is the children. For the sake of her children, Aunt Zhao continues on like this, seemingly unable to see any better path ahead.
It would be a lie to say she didn't hate Aunt Zhao, Li's mother. She still cared for Li's father, but caring was just that—caring. Turning away meant taking on responsibilities, just like Li's father felt for Li's mother.
Aunt Zhao witnessed by chance that Li's father was being coerced by Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua.
After Li's father passed away, Aunt Zhao's feelings towards Li Su were complicated. She hated Li's mother but missed Li's father. Li Su, who bore the blood of both of them, was caught in the middle and did not please anyone.
But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm alive.
Aunt Zhao told Li Su about Li's father's situation; his life had been too hard, and the only sweet time she had was the period she spent with him.
As people get older and their responsibilities are fulfilled, they begin to crave sweets more and more. Upon learning of Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua's plan, Aunt Zhao volunteered to go.
Li Su also participated; this was at Aunt Zhao's request, and also something Li Su herself wanted to do.
There were very few people who were kind to her: one was Li's father, who had no memory of her, and the other was Aunt Zhao, who had memories but wasn't very kind.
However, the definition of "good" is relative, and Aunt Zhao was the second best person in Li Su's opinion.
Both of the men who were kind to her were involved with Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua, so what reason did she have to refuse them?
What you owe someone, you must eventually repay, whether it's your life or your job.
That night, amidst the various sounds coming from Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua's room, Li Su slept soundly. She was safe now; no one was worried about her anymore.
When Li Su woke up in the morning, she had a smile on her face; the time to test her results had arrived.
"ah"
A piercing scream attracted a large crowd, who rushed into the house to witness Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua's chaotic scene.
The person in charge went to investigate, and the results were as Li Su had predicted.
It was an accident.
The accident was caused by overdose, but since they bought the medicine themselves, they completely ruled out the possibility that someone else had done it.
The funeral arrangements for the two were hastily made. Their deaths were dishonorable, and few wanted to interfere. Furthermore, given the reputation Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua had previously cultivated...
Everyone knew that Li Su was their adopted daughter, so they no longer had any opportunity to take advantage of her, and naturally, there were fewer disputes.
Li Su had already gone to the meat processing plant with Wu Daqiang and Kong Hua's identification documents.
Debts must eventually be repaid.
See? What once belonged to her father is now back in her hands.
The sun was indeed shining brightly.
Holding up what she was holding, Li Su smiled brightly and walked towards a brighter future. The time was perfect, and she had a more determined direction in her heart.
