Chapter 036 The Thirty-Sixth Melon
Xu Xinxin poked her head out from under the quilt, her head tilted.
She is cute, with baby fat, a small round face and a bob haircut. Although her face is a little pale now, she looks like a lovely child.
"Grandma, after I finish this, I will never eat it again?"
"Okay, okay." Yang Fengxia was delighted. She sat on the bed and was about to feed Xu Xinxin the medicine.
Xu Xinxin smelled the stinky medicine and wrinkled her nose childishly, but thinking that in order to get well soon and stop her mother from worrying, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Bang!"
A figure appeared out of nowhere and pushed the bowl of medicine away. The bowl fell to the ground and the bitter soup inside spilled all over the floor.
Yang Fengxia was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the person coming, she became even more furious, "Mrs. Dong, what are you doing? How did you get into my house?!"
Seeing that her mission was accomplished, Mrs. Dong clapped her hands, put her hands on her hips and said, "How did I get in? Your door was not locked, so I just came in directly."
"You, you bitch, I don't have any deep hatred with you, but you actually wasted my granddaughter's medicine."
Yang Fengxia looked at the medicine on the ground and felt heartbroken.
I had finally made up my mind and was about to accomplish it, but then this Cheng Yaojin suddenly showed up.
"Hey, you blamed the wrong person this time."
Mrs. Dong raised her double chins confidently and said proudly, "I am not doing this to go against you. It is your daughter-in-law who asked me to do this."
Daughter-in-law?!
Yang Fengxia's pupils contracted and her eyelids trembled.
Shouldn't my daughter-in-law still be working overtime at school? Why did she suddenly ask Mrs. Dong to come over?
And specially...
“Xinxin!”
Without waiting for Yang Fengxia to sort out her thoughts, He Yiquan rushed back into the house. Seeing that her daughter was still fine, she immediately rushed over, holding her daughter away from her mother-in-law.
"Hey, Xiao He, you're back just in time. Tell your mother-in-law yourself, did you ask me to knock over the bowl of medicine?"
When Mrs. Dong saw He Yiquan coming back, an expression of watching the fun appeared on her face.
Although she didn't know He Yiquan's purpose, she just knew that He Yiquan had a conflict with Yang Fengxia, the old witch and the mother-in-law.
On weekdays, Mrs. Dong often heard Yang Fengxia brag about how considerate her daughter-in-law was, but now it seems different.
"Yes, it's me."
He Yiquan looked at the medicine on the ground, his heart beating fast.
Everything was exactly as Gu Xicao said!
She didn't dare to think about it. If Gu Xicao hadn't seen the public phone on the roadside and had an idea, she would have called her next-door neighbor, Mrs. Dong.
Mrs. Dong was not on good terms with her mother-in-law. When she heard that she could find trouble with Yang Fengxia for 500 yuan, she immediately agreed.
"Mother-in-law, let me ask you, what medicine did you give Xinxin to drink?!"
When He Yiquan asked this question, his voice was shaking, "I drank all the previous medicine a long time ago. I told you that you don't need to give Xinxin any more medicine. What's wrong with this medicine!"
Yang Fengxia's face turned pale, but she was still stubborn: "I am doing this for Xinxin's own good. I asked someone to buy this medicine for me. What do you mean by questioning me now? Can I harm Xinxin?"
"That's right." Gu Xicao squatted down and picked up the bowl. "You added pesticides to this bowl. Aren't you trying to kill your granddaughter? Or do you want to cure her illness?"
"What? Pesticides?!"
Mrs. Dong’s eyes were about to pop out.
She originally thought it was just an ordinary quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she never expected it would turn out to be such a big deal!
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm Xinxin's grandmother. How could I harm her?"
A look of panic flashed across Yang Fengxia's face. When she saw Gu Xicao holding the medicine bowl in his hand, her heart skipped a beat and she came forward with a sullen face to snatch the bowl away.
Gu Xicao stepped back and said, "Hey, you didn't hurt her, so what are you afraid of? Teacher He, call the police. The police will know if the medicine has been tampered with."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
When He Yiquan saw Yang Fengxia trying to grab the bowl, he knew that Gu Xicao was probably right again.
She was shocked and angry, but she forced herself to calm down, picked up her daughter and went out to call the police.
"No, you can't call the police!"
Yang Fengxia panicked immediately and rushed forward to grab He Yiquan's arm, "Sister-in-law, I'm doing this for your own good!"
"For my own good?!" He Yiquan was so angry that he almost laughed. "You want to harm Xinxin and you say it's for my own good? You are crazy. Xinxin is the daughter of A Zong and me!"
"It is precisely because she is your and your husband's daughter that your mother-in-law wants to poison her."
Gu Xicao looked at Yang Fengxia with cold eyes: "She thinks that you don't want to have a second child because you have a daughter. As long as your daughter is poisoned to death, you will be willing to have a second child, or even a third child."
Mrs. Dong’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.
She looked at Yang Fengxia, in disbelief, with goose bumps all over her body. "No way, Yang Fengxia, you are such a vicious person, this is your granddaughter!"
"So what?" Yang Fengxia was furious and stared at Xu Xinxin fiercely: "She can only blame herself for not living up to her expectations and being born a woman!"
Before she finished speaking, He Yiquan couldn't help it and raised his hand to slap her.
"You are absolutely crazy! I will sue you, send you to jail, and divorce your son!"
When Yang Fengxia heard this, she was so angry that she almost went crazy. She rushed towards He Yiquan and was about to hit him.
Gu Xicao was startled and wanted to go over to help, but the figure next to him reacted faster and threw Yang Fengxia to the ground.
With a snap.
At this moment, something seemed to break.
After a moment's silence in the room, screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard.
Gu Xicao and He Yiquan stared blankly at Yang Fengxia who was being held down by Mrs. Dong. Mrs. Dong was panting, with one hand on her waist. She looked at the two of them and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Call the police right now. I'm dying of exhaustion!"
“Ohhhh!”
Only then did He Yiquan come to his senses.
Half an hour later, the police arrived and immediately arrested Yang Fengxia after hearing about the poisoning case. He Yiquan's husband Xu Chuanzong also tried to stop them when he arrived.
He pulled He Yiquan and said, "A Quan, these are just our family affairs. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
Although He Yiquan had just said in front of Yang Fengxia that she wanted to divorce her husband, it was just what she said in anger.
When she saw her husband coming back, He Yiquan suddenly felt aggrieved and scared, but she didn't expect that the first sentence her husband said when he came back would be these words.
He Yiquan took her daughter's hand, stepped back, and stared at Xu Chuanzong in a daze: "Do you know what you are saying? Your mother wants to poison Xinxin to death!"
Xu Chuanzong met He Yiquan's accusing eyes, then looked at his daughter's pale face. He felt a little reluctant, but still whispered: "But wasn't Xinxin fine in the end? Mom was just confused for a moment. She is so old, and she pulled me..."
Snap——
Only after the stinging pain on Xu Chuanzong's face reached his brain nerves did he realize what had just happened.
He covered his face and looked at He Yiquan in surprise and disbelief.
He Yiquan had a gentle and kind personality. He had never said a bad word or hit anyone.
But just now, He Yiquan actually slapped him.
"You and your mother should die together, you bastard!"
He Yiquan's eyes were red, her hands were clenched, and her voice was trembling: "I'm going to file for divorce and make you leave the house with nothing!"
"A Quan!" Xu Chuanzong tried to approach He Yiquan.
Several police officers came over to stop him. One of the female police officers seemed not to notice Xu Chuanzong's red and swollen face and said to He Yiquan, "Miss He, is he harassing you?"
"Yes, he tried to get me to withdraw the lawsuit and protect Yang Fengxia!"
He Yiquan sniffed and raised his hand to wipe his eyes.
"Mr. Xu, we now suspect that you are involved in Yang Fengxia's poisoning case. Please come back with us." The policewoman handcuffed Xu Chuanzong without saying a word.
Xu Chuanzong looked at He Yiquan with a hurt and puzzled look on his face: "Aquan, Aquan, how can you be so cruel!"
The police car took the people away, and Gu Xicao accompanied He Yiqun to give a statement. It was already late at night when they came out.
Xu Xinxin had fallen asleep, He Yiquan looked pale, and his hands were even shaking when he got off the car.
Gu Xicao was really worried, so she sent the person home directly.
"Then I'll leave first. However, Mr. He, I think you should move to another place for more convenience."
Gu Xicao looked at He Yiquan and felt sorry for her.
He Yiquan sniffed, smiled, and said firmly: "Thank you for reminding me. I will. I have already contacted my family to pick us up tomorrow morning."
"That's good." Gu Xicao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had family members who could help her.
Otherwise, He Yiquan would definitely be in trouble after Xu Chuanzong was released.
"Well, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know if Xinxin would..."
He Yiquan felt terrified when he thought that if he had not visited the Gu family today, Xinxin might have drunk the bowl of medicine.
"I was wrong about what happened before. I misunderstood you."
Gu Xicao shook her head: "Teacher He, you don't have to apologize. In my opinion, you did the right thing. You shouldn't say these feudal and superstitious words to children."
She raised the corners of her lips and said, "Besides, not all fortune tellers are as accurate as me."
He Yiquan met her hearty smile, and for some reason, she felt warm in her heart.
She has been a teacher for several years. Although she is serious and responsible, many parents dislike her because she is too responsible and say behind her back that she is meddling in other people's affairs.
But this little girl could understand her good intentions.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
"Sister, you're finally back!" Gu Xicao returned home and opened the door very carefully for fear of waking up Lin Yuan. Who knew that the boy was still awake and reading a book on the table. He jumped up immediately when he heard the noise.
"Oh, hush, it's late at night and everyone is asleep." Gu Xicao quickly raised her finger, signaling him to be quieter.
Lin Yuan said "oh" embarrassedly, nodded, and tiptoed over: "Sister, how is Teacher He? Is her daughter okay?"
"It's okay, it's all done." Gu Xicao touched Lin Yuan's head, "Why haven't you slept yet? Just to wait for this news."
"Not entirely. I'm worried about my sister too." Lin Yuan pouted and said, "It's so late. It's not safe for my sister to come back alone. You should take me with you. I'm a man and I can protect my sister."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, revealing his arm that had finally gained some muscle: "Look, my muscles."
"Muscles damn, go to bed, you have to go to school tomorrow."
Gu Xicao was clearly relieved, but she still had something to say to Lin Yuan, patting his head and urging him to go to bed quickly.
