Zhou Xueyan felt as if someone had pinched her heart. She couldn't breathe. How did they know about this incident from a few years ago? Did Fu Baoer tell her? But how did she guess that?
"I...I...it has nothing to do with me," Zhou Xueyan said with difficulty, "It was an accident..."
The public security comrades did not expect Zhou Xueyan to confess, but it didn’t matter, the interrogation would continue.
In the inquiry room on the other side, Fu Tianming recalled everything that happened last night and felt that there was nothing wrong. If there was anything strange, it was that Zhou Xueyan's attitude towards Li Ying and Chengcai yesterday was better, and she even cooked mushrooms for them herself.
Sun Danniu also said seriously: "Uncle Public Security, my mother must have been careless. My brother and I also ate mushrooms, but we only ate a small amount, so it's nothing serious."
By this time, the police had already figured out the relationship between them. They felt very contemptuous, thinking it was too complicated.
"As far as we know, Li Ying and Fu Tianming were a legitimate couple, while Zhou Xueyan was just a woman Fu Tianming met outside," the police officer frowned. "Zhou Xueyan had a motive for committing a crime. Moreover, the amount of mushrooms you consumed was very small, and would only cause diarrhea and vomiting. Li Ying and Fu Chengcai would likely have died if they hadn't been rescued in time."
These words made Fu Tianming's heart skip a beat. Yes, Zhou Xueyan acted in a flattering manner yesterday and said that she would listen to Li Ying at home from now on, would not provoke her again, and hoped that Li Ying would forgive her, etc.
Li Ying and Fu Chengcai had been bullied at home for months and hadn't had many full meals. The mushrooms were delicious, and they ate a lot of them. They were seriously poisoned! Fu Tianming knew he didn't like this stuff, so he didn't eat much yesterday. But why were Sun Daniu and Sun Jiefang fine too?
Because of this question, the police asked Sun Jiefang and Sun Daniu: "Why did you only eat so few mushrooms yesterday?"
Sun Danniu subconsciously clenched her fists. Why? Because she had a bad memory in the past, and from then on she never dared to eat mushrooms again.
But she wouldn't say that. Sun Da Niu pretended to be innocent and said, "My brother and I don't like mushrooms, so we didn't eat much. We had other dishes to eat yesterday."
This means that if there are no other dishes, they will eat it. Now whose turn is it to be picky?
Fu Tianming also nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right, because these mushrooms are just picked randomly from the mountains and are not valuable. If they were ordinary food, we dare not waste them and would have to eat them all. Otherwise, we might all die."
However, although Sun Jiefang was also ten years old, he was nowhere near as smart as his sister. He said in confusion, "My mother didn't let us eat too much. When she was cooking, she told me that there were bugs inside the mushrooms. If you don't wash them well, you'll get diarrhea. She only allowed me to eat two bites."
After he said this, the room fell silent.
Sun Danniu's sweat had already trickled down her back. She suppressed her trembling voice and said, "No, when did our mother ever say such a thing? Did you hear it wrongly?"
Sun Jiefang scratched his head, as if his mother had asked him to tell his sister, "Sis, you're not here, I...I forgot to tell you."
Sun Danniu was completely disappointed. She knew from the look of the police officers opposite that they had already made a judgment.
Fu Tianming was still stunned, a little confused. What did Sun Jiefang mean? Was he saying that Zhou Xueyan deliberately didn't let her children eat mushrooms? Did she know they were poisonous but still prepared them for them to eat?
"This bitch!!" Fu Tianming stood up suddenly and wanted to rush out to teach Zhou Xueyan a lesson.
The police officer yelled, "Stop! Sit down! This is not the place for you to mess around!"
Fu Tianming sat down, drooping like a frost-bitten eggplant. He didn't understand how things had turned out like this. What if Li Ying and Cheng Cai were really poisoned to death?
After questioning to this extent, the police already had a clear idea of what was going on. The next step was to collect the physical and witness evidence and present them to Zhou Xueyan, so that they would not have to worry about her not confessing.
When Fu Tianming and his companions came out of the police station, Fu Baoer was being scolded outside by Jiang Fengxia and Fu Manshan who were being driven into the city. She followed them into the city without saying a word, which made her family very worried.
Fu Baoer admitted his mistake obediently, but he will do it again next time.
When she saw her son coming out, Jiang Fengxia didn't even give him a stingy look. He deserved it. It was his own fault for insisting on keeping Zhou Xueyan at home. This woman was so cruel that she could do anything to herself and her child.
Fu Tianming watched helplessly as his parents left without paying any attention to him. He felt very upset. He had suffered so much, but couldn't he get forgiveness from his parents?
Fu Baoer felt someone was looking at her, and when she turned around, she saw Sun Danniu's expression was distorted with hatred. An eleven-year-old child had such a complicated mind. It was obvious from her expression that she was plotting some revenge.
It's quite interesting. Fu Baoer raised an eyebrow at her, which earned her an even more resentful look.
"Big girl, take Jiefang and Doctor Yu back first. They're just causing more trouble here." Fu Tianming was now very annoyed with the two of them. "We don't know what to do with your mother's case yet. If she's sentenced, you can go back home."
Sun Danniu knew that if anything happened to Zhou Xueyan, the treatment that awaited her and Sun Jiefang would definitely not be good, but when she heard Fu Tianming's ruthless words, she couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart.
Her mother took action for this man, but Fu Tianming was too ruthless. It seemed that she had to think carefully about her future.
When the brother and sister arrived home, Yu Shihui considerately reminded them that they were very weak after the food poisoning, and if they had symptoms such as fever and diarrhea, they must come to his house to find him, as he would not lock the door tonight.
Sun Danniu nodded obediently and took her brother's hand and went into the house. She cleaned the house skillfully and cooked for herself and her brother. It was obvious that she had done this countless times.
In the middle of the night, Sun Danniu couldn't fall asleep because she was thinking about Zhou Xueyan. She turned over and faced the direction of Sun Jiefang.
Sun Jiefang didn't seem to be sleeping very peacefully, and his breathing was very heavy. Sun Danniu felt that the air he exhaled from his mouth and nose was very hot. She touched her brother's arms, face, and forehead.
It's a little hot, maybe you have a fever. I heard from villagers before that someone's son died because he had a fever and didn't get treatment.
Sun Danniu withdrew her hand, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. Sometimes she thought about her parents and grandparents not letting her eat because of her younger brother. Sometimes she thought about what she would do in the future with her younger brother.
If, Sun Danniu kept telling herself in her heart, just if, her brother was gone, could she stay here?
She can do a lot of work and eat very little.
As long as Sun Jiefang is gone, she has hope of staying.
