Chapter 387 I Really Didn’t Eat
Old Man Chen also followed suit with a guilty look on his face, "That's right, it's just a few snacks, just eat them, there's no need to argue with a child."
"Oh, it's not that I'm stingy." Chen Qingqing looked anxious, "Xiaohan, tell me the truth, did you eat it or not?"
"Sister, I really didn't eat it." Chen Han shook his head aggrievedly.
Old Mrs. Chen felt that Chen Qingqing was being unreasonable again, and immediately turned her face away.
"Qing girl, what do you mean by this? You're just fooling around here. If you really don't want us to stay for dinner, just say so. Don't act like a jerk and pretend we can't see what's going on!"
"That's right, what do you want to do, girl? We've been waiting for a long time like a silly wife waiting for a stubborn man, and as soon as you come, you start talking about those broken snacks. Is that fun?" Old man Chen couldn't help but get angry.
Chen Qingqing waved her hands at the two of them. "You all misunderstood. I didn't mean that. You don't know that those snacks are not for people to eat..."
"What? It's not for human consumption!" Old Mrs. Chen shuddered and interrupted Chen Qingqing before she could finish her words, "What's going on? Explain it to me quickly."
"Here's what happened. My house has been plagued by rats lately, so I put some strong rat poison in the snacks. If someone eats it, they'll be half dead, if not dead."
As Chen Qingqing spoke, she secretly glanced at the old couple. She saw that their faces had lost all color in an instant due to fear, and beads of sweat the size of beans were streaming down their faces.
She suppressed her laughter and asked Chen Han anxiously,
"Tell me quickly, did you eat it or not? I'm not trying to scare you, but if you don't get medical help in time, you'll die in less than two hours. Even a Daluo Immortal can't save you."
"Don't worry, sister. I really didn't eat it."
"real?"
"Really!" Chen Han nodded seriously.
Chen Qingqing let out a long sigh and nodded in a nonchalant manner, "Okay, then I'm relieved. It looks like it was eaten by a rat."
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, leaving Old Lady Chen dumbfounded and secretly groaning in her heart.
Oh no, oh no, it's really unlucky for a person to fart and hit his heels. He has delicious fish and meat but he doesn't want to eat them, but he has to be greedy.
Now that I have taken rat poison, what should I do?
"Qing girl, you said that the dessert was poisonous?" Old Mrs. Chen confirmed again with a pale face.
Chen Qingqing nodded seriously, "Yes, it's specially made to poison rats. But Xiaohan didn't eat it, so I'm relieved. You guys sit down quickly, I'll go serve the dishes."
"Don't go yet." Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly called back Chen Qingqing, who was about to leave, and slapped her thigh anxiously, "You are really fooling around. How can you feed such a precious snack to a mouse?"
Old man Chen also recovered from his shock, "Yeah, why feed good things to rats? Aren't you a spendthrift?"
Chen Qingqing suppressed her smile and said seriously, "You don't know, my rats are very picky eaters. They won't even look at white flour buns. They only like to eat savory ones. So I have no choice but to bring back some snacks mixed with rat poison every time I come back from town."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Lin from outside the courtyard shouting, "Boss, come quickly, a big rat has died from poison. Hurry up and dig a hole to bury it."
This shout frightened the old man Chen and his wife so much that they stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Lin came in carrying the dishes and chopsticks, set them aside, and gestured as she spoke, "Qing girl, the rat poison you brought back is really effective. It just killed such a big rat. It was really scary to see it."
Chen Qingqing coughed twice and tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips. "Yes, mother, I think we can kill all the rats with poison this time, and our family will have peace from now on."
"Yes, that's right. The food that has been destroyed by these rats these days is probably enough to feed two big fat pigs."
As he was talking, Chen Zhanshan walked in from outside, "Qing girl, Xiumei, you two should stop chatting and go serve the dishes!"
"Right, right, right. Look at my memory. How could I have forgotten something important?" Lin said, and then she called to the dumbfounded old man Chen and the other man, "Hurry up and sit down. We'll go get the dishes and we'll eat."
"Wait, Qing girl, don't go yet." Old Mrs. Chen was almost scared to death and hurriedly called out to Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing frowned slightly, pretending to be puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"
Old Mrs. Chen felt a mixture of emotions, but couldn't express them in words.
She really wanted to slap herself hard. She was so greedy that she made such a big mistake. If people knew that she was so greedy that she even ate rat poison, how would she go out and see people?
Old man Chen was also in a state of panic, at a loss as to what to do, feeling ashamed, regretful, and afraid.
Seeing that Old Lady Chen didn't say anything for a long time, he quickly came closer and lowered his voice, "Old woman, life is more important, tell the truth!"
"You prodigal old man, I will kill you sooner or later!" Old Mrs. Chen glared at Old Man Chen fiercely, gritted her teeth and made up her mind that it would be better for him to admit it quickly in order to save his life.
Having made up her mind, Old Lady Chen no longer cared about her face. She looked embarrassed and pitiful, and stammered,
"Qing girl, yes, that's what happened. It was all because of me being confused for a moment. I was so hungry that I saw those snacks. We old couple took a few pieces. I didn't know there was poison in them..."
"What? You ate this snack!" Chen Qingqing opened her eyes wide in surprise. "You are so stupid! How could you eat rat poison?"
"You know we definitely won't eat it, right?" Old Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Chen Zhanshan pretended to be anxious and said, "This rat poison is extremely poisonous. If anyone eats it, there will be no hope of survival."
"That's right. Eating most of the plate is like asking for death!" Lin also said casually.
Old Mrs. Chen stamped her feet. "Alright, stop making sarcastic remarks, okay?"
"That's right, we old couple have been poisoned. Please think of a way to save us quickly!" Old man Chen's face turned pale with fright.
Chen Qingqing shook her head in embarrassment. "You don't know, this rat poison is extremely poisonous. It would be fine if you only ate one or two pieces, but you actually ate half a plate. You're courting death!"
"What do you mean? Are you saying there's no hope for us?" Old Mrs. Chen didn't want to die, so she immediately started throwing a tantrum and pointed at Chen Qingqing. "Hurry up and find a solution. If anything happens to me, you'll be held responsible."
After hearing what he said, Old Man Chen also acted like a rogue.
"That's right. If I eat something poisonous at your house, you have to take responsibility. If someone dies, your whole family will go to jail and pay for our lives!"
