Anyway, she had already emptied all the water inside, so let's see how the other party checks it.
Even if a small amount of medicine adheres to the wall, the residue is extremely small. Without advanced instruments and reagents, it would probably be undetectable.
The police showed the medicine bottle to Professor Chen, who did not open it at the time. If there was any medicine inside, he planned to take it to the city hospital for testing.
Afterwards, the police collected all of Li Hongying's belongings from Zhao Wensong's home, and found crumbs of peach crisp on one of her clothes, which were also taken away.
The educated youth and those who had recently had contact with Li Hongying became targets of surveillance by the police and villagers, and their every move was monitored.
At that time, transportation was inconvenient, and a letter of introduction was required to go anywhere. Even if Lin Shanshan wanted to escape, she had no means to do so.
Moreover, she has already been listed as a criminal suspect by the police, so she is not allowed to take trains or buses.
Lin Shanshan was gambling that the instruments and materials here couldn't detect the poison in the bottle.
But there's also the possibility that they'll find out. If she tries to escape, she can only run into the mountains. Maybe she'll be lucky enough to survive there, or maybe she'll die.
Ever since the police took away her medicine bottle, she has been living in constant fear.
Meanwhile, the other people in the dormitory ate and slept as usual, maintaining a relaxed state.
Finally, Professor Chen's test results came back. He found the poison in Lin Shanshan's small medicine bottle and in the peach crisp crumbs he took from Zhao Wensong's house. Since Lin Shanshan, Li Hongying, and Tong Jianxin had all been in contact with it, it confirmed that Lin Shanshan was the one who poisoned Tong Jianxin and Li Hongying.
The police arrived at the Shengli Brigade and arrested Lin Shanshan. The next step is to investigate the source of the poison and Lin Shanshan's true identity.
Several days later
It was time for the distillery's profit-sharing again, and Aunt Hu had been sulking at home for two or three days. Every time the collective distillery distributed profits, she saw that everyone else was receiving generous dividends while she was left with nothing, which made her grit her teeth in anger.
She hummed whether she was sitting at home or standing, and she never stopped humming even when she went to work in the fields.
At first, when she saw others receiving dividends, she would only feel a little jealous and hoped that the distillery would close down soon, just like before.
To everyone's surprise, the distillery not only remained open, but the participating members also received increasingly larger dividends.
If things continue like this, those people will receive even more dividends, while our family won't get a penny. The economic gap between our family and the other families will only widen, and she's feeling incredibly distressed.
It was just a matter of a few pounds of sorghum. If she had been willing to give up those few pounds of sorghum back then, she would have received dozens or even hundreds of times more in return now.
She was filled with deep regret.
Hu Dazhi also regretted missing a great opportunity to make money for a long time, but he was more open-minded than Aunt Hu.
She advised Aunt Hu, "Stop complaining. What's done is done. Who can you blame? It's all your own fault. If you had been willing to give up that little bit of sorghum back then, we could be getting a large share of dividends now." After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh. "Forget it, forget it. Think positively. Even if we don't get dividends, life goes on as usual. Just pretend this distillery doesn't exist. It won't stop us from eating and drinking."
"You make it sound so easy. Just because I pretend it doesn't exist doesn't mean it really doesn't exist. If I couldn't see the distillery and other people's profits, that would be fine. But once I see it, I can't pretend it doesn't exist. Oh dear, the gap between us and our neighbors is getting bigger and bigger. I'm so envious of them. Just thinking about how much money they can get makes me not want to eat."
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
Whether rich or poor, as long as everyone is the same, no one will feel different from others, and there will be no phenomenon of comparison.
Aunt Hu hated those who made money, and she hated the distillery even more.
"If it weren't for that distillery, they wouldn't be able to make any money. Everyone would still be the same as before, poor together. Ugh, I really want to burn that distillery down, so I can stop them from making money, what a joke!"
But she only thought about it in her heart. She really didn't have the guts to set a fire. If she were caught, she couldn't bear the consequences.
Although she didn't have the guts, there were some bolder people in the Hu family.
Hu Sanqiang had wanted to burn down the distillery last time, and this time, after hearing that his mother was heartbroken and wanted to burn it down, he decided to do so, so that his mother wouldn't be sad every day and some people wouldn't have to make money.
This time, he didn't discuss it with Aunt Hu. Instead, he decided to secretly burn down the distillery before telling his mother, so as to give her a surprise.
Without the distillery, those people won't be able to make money anymore, and her mother won't have to envy others and sigh all day long.
Actually, he was also jealous of those who got the money. Seeing his childhood friends getting new clothes while he didn't, he felt a little embarrassed.
Damn it, if you won't let me get rich, I'll just cut off your path to wealth.
No one should have a good life.
He decided to go and take care of this matter in the middle of the night, when everyone else was asleep and the distillery was empty.
In the past, he would go to bed shortly after dinner, do some exercise with Du Yinan on the kang (heated brick bed), and then fall asleep.
But he was afraid that he wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night if he fell asleep, so he decided to sit in the room until midnight before going out to the distillery.
After Du Yinan got onto the kang (heated brick bed), she saw that he was still sitting and not sleeping, so she asked, "Sanqiang, what are you doing? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
