After a brief moment of shock, Guan Wenru forced herself to remain calm. "Ha...you think I'd believe you?"
Zhao Mei lowered her voice and spoke very quickly, "It's true. I have no reason to lie to you. If I were to lie to you, may I die a horrible death!"
Seeing that Guan Wenru still didn't believe her, Zhao Mei went all out, "It's the Americans' doing! Starting in January 1968, the American army implemented a secret plan to clear the jungles and farmlands where the guerrillas were hiding."
They sprayed over 70 million doses of poison in the south, and officers such as He Yanzhi were among those affected.
This toxic agent is chemically stable and takes 14 years to be completely eliminated from the human body. It can also cause gene mutations and congenital malformations.
American soldiers themselves have also been harmed, with tens of thousands of veterans suffering from cancer, skin diseases, and neurological disorders.
Later, the American government was forced to establish a compensation fund; I'm sure you've heard about this.
Upon hearing her words, Guan Wenru's pupils shrank, but she continued to feign composure, "Nonsense! This is getting more and more outrageous! Get out of here, or I'll have to take action."
Seeing that she wouldn't listen to reason, Zhao Mei became even more anxious, "I know you don't believe me! But let me ask you, after He Yanzhi developed symptoms, did he gradually start coughing, and did the cough get worse and worse, especially at night?"
Then the skin, especially near the joints, will inexplicably turn red, develop rashes, and ulcerate, and heal very slowly!
Later he had difficulty breathing, his lungs felt like broken bellows, and finally... he suffocated to death!
The doctors can't find the cause, they just say it's a strange disease, a terminal illness! Is that right?! Am I right?!
"!!!" Guan Wenru's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Seeing Guan Wenru's reaction, Zhao Mei knew she had hit the nail on the head. She took a slight breath and said, "What I said is true! Those American soldiers who inhaled the same poison gas died in large numbers after they returned! They later found out that they were the ones who produced the poison!"
They invested a lot of money and effort, and after years of research, they actually developed an antidote! A special compound formula!
Guan Wenru was deeply shaken and stared intently at Zhao Mei.
Knowing that she believed it, Zhao Mei quickly added, "I still remember what those Western medicines were. As long as you take them continuously for a month before the illness becomes serious, the toxins will be cleared away! It won't develop into a terminal illness!"
Guan Wenru, I can help you, I can help He Yanzhi. Do you really want to just watch him die young like in your past life?
Guan Wenru unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes. She stared at Zhao Mei for a moment before speaking, "So what do you want me to help you with?"
Zhao Mei spoke even faster, "I beg you! Let me stay! Stay in this family compound. If you help me this time, help me stay here smoothly, I'll tell you about those medicines! I swear!"
Her family background is bad; if she leaves here, she'll definitely be denounced and persecuted to death!
The air seemed to freeze.
Guan Wenru stared at Zhao Mei's face, and after a moment she suddenly laughed, "Okay, I promise you, I'll let you stay here."
You think you won't die if you stay here?
Ha... I'll show you... where hell really is!
"Zhao Mei, listen to me carefully. If you dare to lie to me about this, or try to pull any tricks..."
She crouched down, pinched Zhao Mei's cheek, and fixed her icy gaze firmly into Zhao Mei's eyes:
"I'll make you die a horrible death! A hundred times worse than you imagine! Now get out of here!"
......
Guan Wanxin had been sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the living room, so she heard everything Zhao Mei said.
After Zhao Mei left, she went to Guan Wenru, who was in a daze, and asked, "Do the symptoms she described match the symptoms that Yan Zhi had after becoming seriously ill?"
“Yes.” Guan Wenru came back to her senses. “Grandma, not only do the symptoms match, but I’ve also heard about most of what she said. I’ve heard about American veterans applying for compensation and the US using biological weapons. So what she said is probably true.”
Guan Wanxin frowned. "Don't worry, it's just a matter of letting her stay here. That's easy to handle. We'll talk about it after she hands over the prescription."
"Okay." Guan Wenru knew that worrying about anything now was useless. "Grandma, don't worry about this. Let's have lunch first."
......
Because of what Zhao Mei said, Guan Wenru was distracted while milking cows in the afternoon and almost got kicked by a cow.
When she got home in the evening and had dinner, she would still feel restless from time to time.
Guan Wanxin knew this wasn't something that could be resolved with just a few words of comfort, so she didn't say much and could only let her figure it out herself.
That night, He Yanzhi and his group went into the mountains for training again, and returned at one o'clock in the morning.
He had clearly told Guan Wenru to go to sleep before he left tonight, but when he returned, the house was still brightly lit.
She was still sitting in the living room waiting.
He smiled helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first?"
"Waiting for you." Guan Wen got off the kang (heated brick bed) and went to pour him some water. "Are you tired? Now that the weather is getting warmer, do you guys often go into the mountains for training?"
"Yes." He Yanzhi took the water glass from her hand and patted her head with his other hand. "Don't wait for me next time."
Guan Wenru didn't answer his question. "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. You go inside first, I'll go wash up and come right back."
"Okay." Guan Wenru turned around and went into the house first.
He Yanzhi glanced thoughtfully at her retreating figure.
He noticed during dinner that she seemed a little off.
Now she was even more certain that something was on her mind.
His smile vanished, and he quickly went into the bathroom to wash up.
......
Guan Wenru couldn't remain calm.
She knew that He Yanzhi would still participate in the war in this life, so when she learned that there would be biological weapons there, her heart inexplicably panicked.
