Yang Niannian couldn't stand Yu Hongli's behavior. She even interfered with the waste paper that children were playing with. It was so annoying. It was clearly bullying An An because she was a child.

So he suggested, "You are such a bad person to snatch something from a child. Next time, just run away. She can't catch up with you anyway. If she wants to go back, let her ask your father for it. You won it back with your own strength, why should you give it to her?"

An An took a mouthful of porridge and whispered, "Aunt Yu's eyes look so fierce, I'm afraid she will hit me."

Yang Niannian encouraged An An, "Don't be afraid, you didn't do anything wrong, she wouldn't dare to hit you."

Yu Hongli is a shrewd person. She is a fence-sitter and will side with whoever has the ability.

Lu Shishen and Lu Nianfei both hold higher positions than Sun Dashan. For this reason, Yu Hongli did not dare to do anything to An An. At most, she would scold the child behind the adults' backs.

The more afraid you are, the more arrogant Yu Hongli becomes. To deal with such a person, you have to be tough.

An An got up the courage and said, "Then if I win Bing Bing's card again in the future, I won't give it to Aunt Yu even if she asks for it."

Yang Niannian praised, "That's right."

The pancake Lu Ruoling baked was a bit big, and she didn’t use a knife to cut it. Jiang Yueyue couldn’t finish the whole pancake, so she said to Yang Niannian.

"Sister, I can't finish this cake, please help me break it."

Yang Niannian didn't think much about it, and said hot-headedly, "Ruoling, help Yueyue break the pancakes, my wrist is sore."

Lu Shishen's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened slightly, and he pursed his lips in embarrassment.

Lu Ruoling didn't think too much about it. She reached out and tore the pancake into two halves, asking with concern while tearing it.

"Sister-in-law, were you tired from cooking yesterday? Don't cook for the next two days. Take a good rest. I'll cook. My cooking tastes good now."

Yang Niannian hadn't thought much about it at first, but when Lu Ruoling asked her this, the scene of last night suddenly appeared in her mind. She felt her palms were extremely hot, and she choked on the porridge in excitement.

Lu Shishen patted her back gently and said, "Drink slowly."

Yang Niannian glared at him angrily, "It's all your fault."

“…”

Lu Shishen avoided her gaze guiltily, not daring to meet her gaze.

Jiang Yueyue was eating a pancake and spoke in a baby voice to defend Lu Shishen, "Sister, you are a little unreasonable. Brother Lu didn't say anything during the meal just now."

An An also nodded.

Lu Ruoling felt that her second sister-in-law was not an unreasonable person. She thought about it and suddenly asked.

"Did my second brother press on your hand while sleeping?"

Yang Niannian was so embarrassed that she nodded hesitantly in response to Lu Ruoling's words, then gulped down the porridge in her bowl.

"Take your time to eat. I'm going to visit Sister Wang."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out. He happened to see Hu Qiaomei holding something in her arms, looking sneaky like a thief.

Yang Niannian was more cautious and deliberately called out, "Mrs. Hu, why are you so anxious so early in the morning?"

Hu Qiaomei was so startled that the things in her arms almost fell out, and a little white hair was faintly visible.

After realizing what was happening, he hugged the thing in his arms even tighter.

"You're like a ghost, you scared me."

Yang Niannian chuckled, "I'm just saying hello to you normally, what are you afraid of?"

"Who's scared? I'm just anxious to go back and feed my baby." Seeing Yang Niannian getting closer and closer, Hu Qiaomei hurried home.

Yang Niannian was speechless. Baodan is so old now, why doesn’t she stop breastfeeding?

Do you want to eat this until you are old?

…

Wang Fengjiao was washing a pot in the kitchen. When she saw Yang Niannian coming, she said happily.

"Niannian, go sit in the main hall for a while. I'll rinse these two bowls."

Yang Niannian stood still, "Sister Wang, are there any fewer rabbits in your house?"

Wang Fengjiao didn't know why Yang Niannian asked this, and answered subconsciously, "Not less! I even fed the rabbits this morning."

Yang Niannian said directly, "How about you count again? I just saw Hu Qiaomei carrying something towards home. It looked like a rabbit."

Wang Fengjiao was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly changed, and she slapped her thigh.

"Oh no, could she have picked up the rabbit I threw away? I put a packet of rat poison under the chopping board before, and yesterday a cabbage leaf fell under the chopping board and got some poison on it. I wasn't paying attention and fed the cabbage leaf to the rabbit, killing one of the rabbits and throwing it to the river. She might have picked up the dead rabbit, and if she eats it, it will be fatal, right?"

Yang Niannian realized the seriousness of the matter, but remained calm.

"It will take a while for the rabbit to be cooked. Let's go to the river first to see if the dead rabbit is still there."

Wang Fengjiao was no longer in the mood to wash the dishes. She took off her apron and hung it on a nail. Then she took Yang Niannian and trotted to the river. After searching for a while, they still didn't find the dead rabbit.

Wang Fengjiao was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles. "I threw it here yesterday. She must have picked it up. Does she want to die?"

Yang Niannian comforted her, "Don't worry, the rabbit won't be eaten that quickly, let's go to her house first!"

"Walk."

Wang Fengjiao jogged all the way again, and when they arrived at Hu Qiaomei's house, she was sitting in the main room breastfeeding her baby.

Seeing the two people coming, Hu Qiaomei felt guilty and greeted them calmly, "Hey, what brings you here?"

Wang Fengjiao was impatient and didn't want to be polite with Hu Qiaomei. She asked directly, "Did you pick up a dead rabbit from the river?"

Hu Qiaomei quickly shook her head, "No, why would I go to the river so early in the morning?"

Yang Niannian reminded seriously, "The rabbit was poisoned to death by rat poison. People will be poisoned if they eat it."

Hu Qiaomei didn't believe it. Who would feed rat poison to a rabbit for no reason?

So he said with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, "Who cares about a dead rabbit? Aren't you looking down on people? There are wild rabbits running all over the mountains in our village, but no one eats them. Who would eat a dead rabbit?"

When she got anxious, she even spoke in her hometown dialect.

Yang Niannian frowned, "I'm not looking down on you. I'm telling you the truth. Rabbits that eat rat poison are poisonous. In serious cases, people can die."

In those days, rat poison was very effective and transportation was inconvenient. Some women who were desperate drank the poison, and basically few of them could be rescued. They died before they even reached the city hospital.

Hu Qiaomei refused to admit it, "Whether it is poisonous or not has nothing to do with me. I didn't see the rabbit."

Humph! She wasn't raised to be scared.

Wang Fengjiao had a hot temper and didn't dare to talk to her any more. "Whether you have seen the rabbit or not, I'll find out by looking for it in the house myself."

"What do you want to do? Are you trespassing into a private house?" Hu Qiaomei quickly pushed the child away and started shoving Wang Fengjiao.

Yang Niannian suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that the kitchen in Hu Qiaomei's house was closed. Her eyes flashed, and she walked over and pushed the door, but it didn't open.

The door was not locked, but it couldn't be opened. It was obvious that someone was blocking it from inside.

"Sister Wang, come over here and push open the kitchen door and take a look."
