"You're lying! You asked me where Jiang Nian went in the city and what he bought, and I told you everything."
After the first person spoke, the second person immediately followed.
"That afternoon, I saw Chen Meili enter Captain Qin's house and then disappeared."
"Is it afternoon? What time in the afternoon? In the afternoon, I saw Jiang Nian taking the child out for a walk. She wasn't home. How did you get in, Chen Meili? What did you do when you got in?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
Everyone worked together to expose all the lies that Chen Meili had told.
Getting closer and closer to the truth.
"No! I didn't! You are talking nonsense! Sister Liu! You must have seen it wrong. When did I ever enter Captain Qin's house? You must have seen it wrong because of your poor eyesight."
In front of so many witnesses, Chen Meili still insisted and refused to admit it.
Huang Guixiang was a person with an impatient temper and she hated to see others being wronged.
What's more, she had inherited Jiang Nian's love for her whole life, so how could she let Chen Meili be so unreasonable and bully Jiang Nian?
She was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stand up for Jiang Nian.
"Chen Meili, we are not blind! How could we be wrong? You must tell me clearly where your wild mushrooms came from? Did you steal them from Nian Meizi's house—"
Chen Meili was forced to this point. If she admitted in front of so many people that she had stolen things, how would she survive in the compound in the future? Maybe even her husband would be embarrassed as well.
"It's not me! It's not me! Huang Guixiang, you said I stole it, why don't you show me the evidence!"
She gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, confronting Huang Guixiang with a grim face.
There was a smell of gunpowder in the small house, and it was about to ignite.
Everyone wanted to know the truth, but they didn't want to make things too ugly. If they really fell out, it would be detrimental to the unity of the sisters-in-law in the compound.
No one dared to speak. Liang Yuxiu looked confused and serious, and had no idea how to clean up the mess.
The atmosphere was tense.
Unexpectedly, the calmest person at this moment was not Jiang Nian.
When the atmosphere was most tense, it was Jiang Nian who stepped forward to ease the tension.
"The condition of the wild mushroom is not important. The child is still sick. Treat the child first."
While talking.
Jiang Nian hid his hand at his side and gently pulled Huang Guixiang's sleeve.
She knew that everything Huang Guixiang did was for her.
Jiang Nian is not an ungrateful person, but he has to prioritize feelings. Besides... after this commotion, Jiang Nian has achieved 50% of his goal.
Huang Guixiang didn't want to give in at first, but when she saw Jiang Nian's grateful and comforting eyes, she looked at the other person's innocent and pretty face. For some reason, her angry heart slowly calmed down.
"snort."
Huang Guixiang snorted coldly, and for the sake of the child, she no longer bothered with Chen Meili.
Chen Meili finally calmed down and remembered her baby son.
"Yes! Child! My Jiefang! Sister Nian, you just said that cold wild mushrooms can't be eaten? My Jiefang was playful during meals and refused to eat. I chased him and fed him for half an hour. By the end of the meal, the wild mushrooms had become cold, and Jiefang only ate a few bites. What should I do... I didn't know that cold wild mushrooms can't be eaten. Sister Nian, can you tell me if it can be cured? Can it be cured?"
"The amount you took wasn't very large, so it can be cured. I'm going to give the child an injection, so hold him first and don't let him move."
Jiang Nian answered calmly.
As she spoke, she took out the acupuncture bag that had been in her coat pocket, untied the ties at both ends, and gently opened it.
A moment.
One by one, thin silver needles suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
