The two immediately realized that termite mushrooms were poisonous, and a day later, the Han family members were poisoned.
Just like Qi Xiaoliang below.
Da Cheng grabbed Qiao Lian'er: "Lian'er, we, we have to run! Someone's been killed! The Han family members have been poisoned by the poisonous mushrooms!"
“We can’t run away, we really can’t run away. This happened because our family sells mushrooms. We have to take responsibility. Even if it means death, we have to take responsibility.”
Da Yong was also extremely anxious, but he was the eldest among his family's grandchildren and the most sensible.
How can they run away when someone has died? Even if the Han family is rich and powerful, they cannot shirk their responsibility.
Da Cheng closed his eyes briefly, then hung his head dejectedly.
“Brother, why don’t I take the blame? You’re capable, and Lian’er is smart and still young. You can all go home now, and I’ll take the blame.”
“No, I’m the eldest brother, the oldest in the family. It wouldn’t be right for me to take the blame. If anyone should take the blame, it should be me. That’s how an elder brother should act.” Da Yong refused outright.
The two argued back and forth, each with their own reasons.
Qiao Lian'er's lips twitched, her face full of speechlessness.
She pulled her hand away from Dacheng's; Dacheng's palms were sweaty, making her hands sweaty as well.
"Da Yong, Da Cheng, both of you calm down."
Both of them were also completely disheartened and fell silent, simply staring blankly at the bustling scene inside the Han family's gate.
Moreover, both of them were making gestures to block each other, as if they both wanted to confess their guilt.
The two of them then stood in front of Qiao Lian'er.
He thought he could stay with his family a little longer before confessing his sins.
Of course, it's best not to go back to the village, lest the Qiao family come with all sorts of weapons to confront the Han family.
In that case, even more people would be beheaded.
"I don't believe the Han family members fell into a coma because they ate my mushrooms," Qiao Lian'er said firmly, regardless of whether they listened or not.
Even if you eat termite mushrooms raw, it won't cause any problems.
"Lian'er, things have come to this point, so stop clinging to illusions. The next step after falling into a coma is death." Da Yong was dejected, but then he suddenly remembered something, and his pupils contracted sharply.
“No, we don’t have to pay with our lives, because of us, our whole family—” Dayong squatted down, holding his head, and pounded the ground with one hand.
“Our whole family is going to die. Our whole family ate chicken mushrooms.”
Da Cheng was also dizzy and swayed for a moment before he finally managed to stand up.
The boy, only sixteen years old, actually spoke in a hoarse voice like an old man.
"Yes, we're all doomed, we're all doomed. Let's go back, let's go back and wait to die."
"We're not afraid of the Han family coming after us anymore, since we're all going to die anyway."
Qiao Lian'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she pinched each of her two brothers' hands hard.
"I said I wouldn't die, and I won't die."
The two, in pain, finally regained some of their senses.
Da Cheng glared at Qiao Lian'er: "Lian'er, this is a fact that was bound to happen, and there's nothing we can do about it if we don't accept it."
Thinking of how young Qiao Lian'er was, he felt another pang of heartache: "I can't save you in this life, but I will protect you in the next. I will stop you when you go up the mountain to find the first mushroom and I won't let you make such a big mistake again."
Qiao Lian'er couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly into the door, "Madam Han, Madam Han, it's me, Qiao Lian'er. I'm here to sell the same stuff from yesterday."
