Chapter 233 Confidence
It was as if a pair of invisible hands were pinching Cheng Yaozu's neck with such force that he had difficulty breathing and his face turned blue and purple.
"Go find a doctor quickly!" Old Master Cheng roared. He didn't even care about his pipe, and the ashes fell to the ground.
Old Mrs. Cheng woke up as if from a dream and staggered out.
Chen Zhuyi went over immediately, felt Cheng Yaozu's pulse, frowned, took out the silver needle from the small bag, and inserted it without hesitation.
Before the eldest daughter-in-law Cheng could even utter a word, she was forcibly dragged over by the second daughter-in-law Cheng, covering her mouth with her hands: "Shut up! Teacher Shen can't possibly kill someone in front of so many people. Just watch!"
Before Doctor Zheng came, they could only choose to trust Chen Zhuyi first.
After being pricked by a few silver needles, Cheng Yaozu's complexion gradually became a little better, but it was still frighteningly pale, like gold paper.
"What have you been feeding him recently?" Chen Zhuyi asked angrily.
A few days ago, I saw a child who was not that fat. But within this week, he became as fat as a pig. It was not just a simple gain of weight, but he swelled up instantly like a balloon!
Is there any way in the world to raise a child like this?
"I...we are just feeding the child normally, what's the problem?" Cheng Da's wife didn't know what she was thinking of. After hesitating for a moment, she immediately stared at Chen Zhuyi with full confidence.
"Everyone's children are raised in this confused way. What's going on with this child?"
"The preliminary diagnosis is poisoning." Chen Zhuyi was also a little angry. He turned his head away and didn't want to look at this idiot. He added: "Gaining too much weight in a short period of time is a disease in itself."
If she hadn't used a rough silver needle to prick Cheng Yaozu's acupuncture points to help him feel better, the child would be dead now!
"He eats healthy food and grows up slowly, how could he get sick!" Cheng Da's wife emphasized.
Doctor Zheng and Old Lady Cheng came jogging over. The old lady was already quite old and her body couldn't hold on any longer. She was so tired that she was panting and almost collapsed.
"The child must have eaten something unclean. He looks fat now. Did you give him hormones?" Doctor Zheng was knowledgeable and guessed it right away.
They have to think twice before giving their children food, and the drugs they maliciously gave Cheng Yaozu to gain weight have long been banned.
In the past, it was used to make pigs grow big and good-looking, but the pork was not very good and was prone to disease, so it was banned.
Unexpectedly, these people still have something hidden in their hands!
"No..." Old Mrs. Cheng also shook her head, but her panicked expression had completely exposed her, and she was speechless at the moment.
"The child's health needs special attention. You will ruin him sooner or later if you continue like this. And... since you won't tell the truth, there's nothing I can do."
Doctor Zheng waved his hand and was about to walk out with a grim face.
He had been on the island for so many years and had seen people forcing things to grow faster, but that was only for animals. This was the first time he heard of someone feeding something that was known to be harmful to children!
"No, Doctor Zheng, only you can save Yaozu. I beg you, don't give up on my child."
Cheng Da's wife rushed over, held Doctor Zheng's legs and feet, preventing him from walking out, pulling and tugging, making him look more and more awkward.
The village chief felt overwhelmed. He couldn't go forward or retreat. He could only watch the Cheng family and their group of idiots put on a clumsy performance, feeling annoyed in his heart.
"I can't save him. I don't know what's wrong with him. You as parents might harm him. If I save him, I'll just let you kill him. It's better for him to die now. That's safer."
Doctor Zheng is particularly cruel in these matters.
If this family of idiots is not taught a lesson, they will only do more outrageous things.
Under the threat of her son's death, Chengda's wife wiped her tears and said hesitantly: "It's all my mother-in-law's fault. She said that as long as Yaozu is fat, he won't be able to leave."
Now, she spilled the beans like a bamboo tube pouring out.
It was Old Lady Cheng who found the medicine at home. The older generation was used to hardship, so they would save extra of everything, and these things had always been hidden deep down.
Since Cheng Yaozu came back on his own initiative, they never thought of letting their grandson leave in vain, so they resorted to this desperate measure.
Who would have thought that this kind of hormone would be so obvious when used on humans? Looking at Cheng Yaozu's half-dead appearance, it's really scary.
"You nodded in agreement yourself, and besides, isn't it because you want to keep the child by your side forever?" Old Mrs. Cheng didn't expect to be sold out by her eldest daughter-in-law. She was so angry that she was shaking.
She didn't even want to argue anymore and was determined to drag her family into this. Old Man Cheng next to her finally lost his temper, grabbed Old Lady Cheng's hair and slapped her twice.
"You stupid bastard! I married you and I'm really marrying a jinx. How dare you treat my grandson like this!"
"These are all conflicts within our family. Village chief, please don't think too much about it. As long as Yaozu is cured, we will never make trouble again."
After teaching his wife a lesson, Mr. Cheng smiled, bowed slightly to them, and said a few soft words.
"Dad, if Yaozu stays any longer, he will probably die in your hands. We must take the child away." The second son of the Cheng family spoke immediately.
He was a young and strong man with considerable strength. He forcibly picked up Cheng Yaozu and was about to leave.
"Okay, you'll be happy if no one collects my body and I die in the wilderness, right?" Old Master Cheng sneered. He had no need to play tricks. Putting a hat of unfilial piety on him was enough to make the second son's family suffer.
The second son of the Cheng family pursed his lips and said nothing. He never said anything nice, but he did a lot of filial things.
"Dad, with my eldest brother and his family around, there will definitely be someone to collect your body." Cheng Er's wife immediately retorted, and she held Cheng Putao's hand with her little hand to give herself some confidence.
"Besides, my family is very experienced in taking care of children. If Yaozu wants to come back to see you in the future, I won't stop him, but the child must be mine, and his name must be written in my household registration book."
Cheng Er was not separated, but Cheng Yaozu's name has always been with Cheng Er's wife, with independent costs. Cheng Putao's matter was just settled a few days ago. Now, the head of the household is Cheng Er's wife!
"Okay, the children I raised are so heartless and ruthless. Now they are helping outsiders bully me. You don't have to come back in the future. I don't need your hypocrisy!"
Old Master Cheng frowned, gave a warning, and turned back.
He is old now and no longer dares to have a head-on conflict with his young sons.
