Song Chengzhi and his father arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative after get off work. They saw that Zhang Lan was also packing up to leave work, so the three of them walked back to the Song family home.
Zhang Lan cooked with her sons, while Song Chengzhi and his sons went into the room and told her the message Ningning had passed on that day.
Song Chengzhi was terrified when he heard this. How could his daughter be so unlucky, encountering trouble even when she went to a rural village?
When Old Man Song saw his son like that, they thought of passing the message to Shen Junjie, since he was one of their own and reliable.
The two of them were discussing how to find Shen Junjie in a way that was both natural and reasonable.
Shen Peng has been acting strangely lately, so they should be careful. His granddaughter tricked Shen Peng, and she's just waiting to cause trouble for the Song family.
Song Chengzhi thought for a moment and suggested that the old man go to Shen Junjie to inquire about this year's conscription.
Just a few days ago, someone in the village asked about joining the army this year. I happened to be sending medicinal herbs to my granddaughter, so I asked the children in the village about it.
This was perfectly reasonable, and no one could find any problems with it. After discussing it, the two of them decided that Old Man Song would go.
Shen Peng smoked one cigarette after another. He had no choice but to let his men go. In the past two years, almost all of his people had been purged, and he had very few close confidants left.
Few people can truly get things done for them; the few who are capable now are all incompetent.
Remembering that his mother still had some trump cards up her sleeve, Shen Peng packed up and headed back to visit her.
Shen Peng went back to his own home with Han Ping first and told her that there were some things to do that night and she didn't need to wait for him.
They rushed to Grandma Shen's place, as Grandma Shen's health hadn't been very good lately and she rarely went out.
I only go out when I have something to do. I've lost my usual energy and spirit. I feel like I've had a cramp. I always want to lie down and don't feel comfortable doing anything.
She didn't think too much about it, assuming that Tangtang had just caught a cold and that would be fine. Little did she know that Yu Lili often added something to the old woman's food.
Even the old lady's vigilance was undermined by the person she had lived with for twenty years; the drug was very mild and generally undetectable.
So Yu Lili remained calm and increased the dosage of the food they brought to the old lady each time. In less than a year, these eyesores would all be dead.
Yu Lili recently met a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who was her father's close friend.
It's just that they've gone back to their hometown and aren't in the city anymore.
He didn't even dare to recognize Yu Lili when he saw her; it was only when Yu Lili saw him that he took the initiative to talk to her.
The two started chatting when they arrived. Seeing that Yu Lili's face didn't look good, they took a look at her face.
Unexpectedly, Yu Lili's body was poisoned with a slow-acting drug. She experienced severe pain and discomfort during her period every month. Yu Lili thought it was because childbirth had damaged her body.
What she couldn't believe was that someone had drugged her, which was why her body was in that state.
Knowing that she only had one or two years left to live, Yu Lili tried to buy several poisons from the palace at a high price on the black market.
Yu Lili spent all of her last dowry and private savings on these medicinal herbs.
From then on, we gave the old lady some every other day, and when Shen Peng and the others came back, they increased the dosage.
Even this couldn't quell the hatred in her heart. This hatred wasn't just one person's; she wanted the Shen family to pay the price, to slowly torture them, and to make them suffer the same torment she had endured for the past twenty years.
After dinner, Mrs. Shen went back to her room first. She had been feeling tired lately and decided to go see a doctor tomorrow.
The old lady lay down on the bed and reminisced about the years she lived in Japan.
Perhaps it's because I've been away from home for so long that my longing for my hometown has grown stronger.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yu Lili saw that it was Shen Peng and was puzzled as to why he was here so late.
Yu Lili remained calm and continued doing what she was doing. Shen Peng didn't even look at Yu Lili and went straight into Old Lady Shen's room.
"Mom, you're still awake? I've been so busy lately, but I managed to squeeze in some time to come see you tonight." The mother and son were exchanging glances as they spoke.
Old Mrs. Shen knew that her son had something difficult to discuss with her today, otherwise why would he have come over so late at night?
They usually come during the day. Yu Lili knocked on the door and brought in water with added ingredients, then gave it to the mother and son before going into her room.
Shen Peng was thirsty when he arrived, so he gulped down a glass of water. Looking at his mother's water glass, he didn't hesitate to drink it all down little by little as well.
I feel a bit better now. I received a call during the day and have been thinking about this matter ever since, without drinking a drop of water. These two glasses of water are a lifesaver.
After delivering the water, he went back to his room without paying attention to what the mother and son were doing. He had been so obtuse all these years.
They didn't realize that the two people in the house were not ordinary people. Once, the old lady took a large coat and put it on herself.
Looking at the clothes, Yu Lili only recently realized that they must be from Japan, Japan.
She was terrified when she recalled it. She had lived in a den of wolves for more than 20 years. It was a scary thought. By then, she was already in that situation and had no worries.
I haven't been in contact with my family for a long time, and my brother and father have publicly severed ties with me.
That's fine, even if their family is discovered, it won't have any impact.
Yu Lili continued doing what she was supposed to do. She and her son often chatted privately, and she had never suspected anything before.
Knowing he'd stumbled into a wolf's den, and to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he decided to suppress his curiosity and get some sleep!
Every extra day is a day. Let them do whatever they want; none of us are going to live much longer anyway.
As for that brat who went to the countryside, she's just waiting for good news from her distant cousin.
