Chapter 142 Chapter 142
After the senna incident was thoroughly investigated, the female family member who brought her relatives to the pig farm was punished and directly fired from the farm. Her husband was also persuaded to retire from the army and had no choice but to return to his hometown.
The Family Affairs Office began to hold meetings one after another to provide education and training on the safety and confidentiality of the troops, and men, women, young and old were repeatedly warned.
Each family was on high alert, fearing that if they were not careful again, they would be taken advantage of like the female family member before. If any problems were discovered and investigated, their family would be implicated as well.
After all, although the conditions here at the military farm are a bit harsh, as long as you work hard, you will never lack allowances and benefits, and everyone's life is still acceptable. Moreover, the military has been carrying out reforms this year, and there is hope. No one wants to lose their job at this time. If they are sent back to their hometown, who knows what kind of hellish start will be waiting for them.
Different from the cold and serious atmosphere in the Man family compound, the Zhang family welcomed good news because of this incident. Zhang Jianguo, who had been doing odd jobs in the logistics clerical position for many years and had always been tepid, suddenly had his military rank promoted by half a level. Fang Xiaotao, who had been transferred to the pig farm for less than a month, was also promoted to team leader, and her allowance increased by five yuan.
Zhang Jianguo and his wife knew very well why they were promoted, but because of the confidentiality clause, they could not make the reason public. Even Mrs. Zhang did not know the details.
However, for Mrs. Zhang, getting a promotion was definitely a good thing. It showed that her son was capable at work and was valued by his superiors in the army. Even with a lame leg, he could still gain a foothold in the army. Mrs. Zhang was of course very happy. She prepared a table of delicious food that day and celebrated at home.
Fang Xiaotao was also very happy.
She fled to Jiaotan County during the three-year disaster and fainted from hunger in the mountains. She was rescued by Zhang Jianguo who happened to pass by and saved her life.
Knowing that her hometown was in turmoil, Zhang Jianguo was kind-hearted and not only saved her, but also gave her all the money he had so that she could buy food and go home to save her parents.
But when she returned to her hometown, she found that her parents were gone and her brothers and sisters were missing.
Fang Xiaotao became a complete orphan. A helpless girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, she was naturally bullied in her hometown. She couldn't even keep her own house and was almost sold to the mountains by her relatives in exchange for a dowry. With no other options left, she had to return to Wusong City again.
At that time, she already knew that Zhang Jianguo worked in the military farm, so after waiting in Qingshan Farm for many days without success, in order to see her savior again, she resolutely signed up as a construction volunteer and successfully entered the military farm.
But after entering the farm, she was unable to find Zhang Jianguo. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and volunteers working on the farm, so how could it be easy to find just one person? But perhaps it was fate that a year later, the farm organized a blind date party for the soldiers and volunteers, and she unexpectedly met Zhang Jianguo again at the party.
What happened next was cliché. The two met at a social gathering. Zhang Jianguo had not found a partner at the age of 28 because of his lame leg. Fang Xiaotao had a thick filter for this man because Zhang Jianguo saved her life in the past. She didn't mind the problem with his leg at all. So the two of them got along well and got married in front of the farm leader.
This was originally a good idea, but after more than ten years of marriage, the couple has not been able to have children. Zhang Jianguo is now the only child in the family. Of course, he will be criticized for not having children. In addition, Fang Xiaotao's parents have both passed away and their family lives in another place. Zhang's mother was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, so she could make trouble for her. No matter how humble and hardworking Fang Xiaotao was, Zhang's mother could find fault with her.
Fang Xiaotao was originally very humble in front of Zhang Jianguo because of her poor family background. Having no children in these years, she was suppressed by Zhang's mother's words every day, which made her more and more inferior and cowardly. Sometimes she even stuttered when she spoke, fearing that she would be laughed at, so she simply spoke less and always kept her body down to reduce her presence as much as possible when she was outside, and never spoke unless it was necessary.
But Fang Xiaotao never expected that one day she would be promoted by her leader and become a team leader. Even if this team leader only managed a few people, and even if this team leader was responsible for such undignified and rough work as feeding pigs, she was very happy because it meant that she had been recognized by her leader.
This made Fang Xiaotao feel that a powerful energy was injected into her body, which changed her previous decadent nature. She became full of energy and wanted to go to the pig farm immediately and do her best to worship those pregnant sows as her ancestors.
However, when she saw Fang Xiaotao happy, Mrs. Zhang immediately felt uncomfortable and started to make trouble again.
Two days later, she got back a folk remedy from somewhere and forced her daughter-in-law to take it without telling her son.
Fang Xiaotao was lucky. By chance, Ye Qing went to the military farm that day to check whether the cows in the cowshed had all conceived successfully. As a result, when she just arrived at the farm, she saw Zhang Jianguo carrying his wife on his back and dragging his lame leg towards the farm's clinic.
Fang Xiaotao was lying on Zhang Jianguo's back, twitching constantly, spitting blood from her mouth, and holding her stomach and crying in pain.
Seeing this, Ye Qing quickly grabbed Zhang Jianguo, who looked panicked and anxious, and asked him to put the man down.
"Get out of here!"
Zhang Jianguo had already lost his composure. When he saw Ye Qing coming towards him, he thought Ye Qing was trying to stop him from rescuing people, so he pushed the man away in a hurry.
It was only after Zhao Yuliang, who was standing beside him, shouted at him that he came to his senses.
"Xiao Zhang, what are you doing? Hurry up and put him down. Ye Zhiqing is trying to save your wife!"
After seeing who the person was, Zhang Jianguo's eyes instantly turned red, and he put the person down without saying a word:
"Doctor Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my temper with you, please save my wife!"
As the big man spoke, his voice was already choked with sobs, and he stood there anxiously like an ant on a hot pot.
Ye Qing ignored him, walked forward to look at Fang Xiaotao's face, then took her pulse, and his expression changed instantly.
Without saying a word, she took out a silver needle and stabbed it into Fang Xiaotao's fingertips.
As soon as the silver needle entered the flesh, the tip of the needle turned black instantly, and purple-black blood beads oozed out from Fang Xiaotao's fingertips.
Seeing this, the last trace of doubt in Ye Qing's eyes disappeared. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Jianguo, saying coldly and firmly:
"She's not suffering from an emergency, she's been poisoned!"
Fang Xiaotao suddenly fell ill, and many people in the farm noticed what was happening. Quite a few people gathered around her, so when Ye Qing said this, the crowd was instantly in an uproar.
Zhao Yuliang, in particular, was completely nervous.
It wasn’t long after the last senna incident when a team leader at a pig farm was poisoned again. This set the alarm bells in Zhao Yuliang’s head ringing like crazy. The first thing he thought of was that DT was behind it again!
The people at the farm were also worried. On the one hand, they didn't know where the bad guys had put the poison and who would be the next to be infected. On the other hand, they were afraid that the poison might be related to them.
Everyone was thinking quickly in their heads, checking whether they had been careless in their recent work on the farm, and whether there was any possibility that they could be used to carry toxins into the farm.
It's no wonder that everyone is so panicked. After all, the last unfortunate case is there. Poisoning in a farm is definitely not a trivial matter. Once the superiors have completed a thorough investigation, the person who was found to have the problem will be implicated even if he was unaware of it.
Ye Qing didn't know that her words had made everyone in the farm nervous. After she concluded that Fang Xiaotao was poisoned, she stared at Zhang Jianguo with a serious expression:
"What has she eaten in the past few days? Has she eaten any strange food that she doesn't normally eat?"
This question stumped Zhang Jianguo.
He usually works in the canteen's logistics department and definitely eats in the canteen. His mother usually cooks at home, and he occasionally brings leftover food from the canteen back home. But he really has no idea what his mother and wife eat at home on a daily basis.
Zhang Jianguo was clueless and could not provide any useful information. His face turned pale and he slapped his palms anxiously, muttering to himself unconsciously:
"How could he be poisoned? This is impossible. Doctor Ye, are you mistaken?"
Ye Qing opened Fang Xiaotao's mouth and gestured:
"No, I checked Fang Xiaotao's body last time. Her pulse was strong and she was in good health. But today, I saw that her face was pale, her eyes were dark, and her pulse was disordered. Look at her tongue coating, it was purple. When I inserted the silver needle, the tip was black. Combined with the fact that she just vomited blood, had convulsions, and had severe abdominal pain, the reaction of poisoning is already very obvious!"
Ye Qing stopped talking and said to Zhang Jianguo:
"Hurry up and find a room with a bed or a kang, send the person over, and then get a large bucket of clean water and give it to her to drink. I want to induce vomiting in her!"
Someone from the farm immediately said, "There's a wooden bed in the duty room. It's the closest place!"
Zhang Jianguo picked up Fang Xiaotao and rushed to the duty room. Ye Qing followed closely. After a while, someone brought a military water bottle. While giving Fang Xiaotao an injection, Ye Qing put the water bottle to her mouth and poured the whole bottle of boiled water into her mouth with a tough attitude.
A military water bottle can hold two liters of water. After drinking it, coupled with Ye Qing's stimulation on the silver needle, Fang Xiaotao's stomach began to churn in just two or three minutes. The next second, she let out a "wow" and vomited out everything she had eaten in the morning.
Zhang Jianguo didn't mind the dirt, and he had been waiting by the side with a wooden bucket at Ye Qing's signal. As soon as Fang Xiaotao vomited, he rushed forward quickly to catch the dirt, not caring even if the dirt splashed all over his body and face.
A strange smell filled the room and the onlookers took a few steps back, but everyone wanted to know how Fang Xiaotao was poisoned, so even though the smell was unpleasant, no one was in a hurry to disperse.
After Fang Xiaotao had vomited everything in her stomach, except for the bile that had come up, Ye Qing pulled out the emetic needle. Seeing this, Zhang Jianguo wanted to take out the bucket of shit and throw it away.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Qing quickly stopped Zhang Jianguo and used a stick to carefully dig into the pile of undigested waste. He soon discovered something abnormal with his sharp eyes.
"What is this?"
Fang Xiaotao finished vomiting and finally stopped vomiting blood in her mouth. The abdominal pain seemed to have eased a lot. Her complexion was relaxed and she looked energetic.
At this moment, she was half leaning against the headboard of the bed, and saw Ye Qing wearing gloves and picking up a black object from the pile of vomit and holding it in front of her eyes. She was stunned for a moment, and the next second, as if she suddenly realized something, she explained in a crying voice:
"It should be the meatballs that my mother-in-law forced me to eat this morning. She said it was a magic pill for conceiving a child that she had obtained from a master..."
