Chapter 018 Who is it?
"Poisoned?" Hearing this answer, He Jing clenched his teeth. He stood up angrily, clenched his fists and asked, "Who did it? I'm going to kill him!"
The crowd was in a panic and everyone started whispering.
"Who is so wicked as to poison a child like this?"
"I guessed it a long time ago. This family is too unlucky. The youngest daughter died young, and the eldest daughter... There is no such coincidence in the world. It must be man-made!"
"Did the child's parents offend someone outside, and that person is taking revenge on the child?"
"But the water heater is installed at home, how can an outsider tamper with it?"
"I know, it must be a curse! Just like the girl just now, someone cursed their family, making them all unlucky!"
Everyone's speculations were varied, and He Jing had a headache. He shouted to the crowd, "Impossible! Our family has never had any enemies. My wife and I are kind people. We don't fight or compete in the workplace, and our neighborhood relations are also harmonious. Let's put it this way, since I started using the Internet, I haven't given anyone a bad review. Who would hate us?"
"It's definitely not an outsider," Bai Mian said calmly, "The person who poisoned her is in the store right now."
"ah?"
The crowd exclaimed, and the onlookers unconsciously took a few steps back, looking at the parents with strange eyes.
He Jing and Li Mengmei also became alert and looked at each other suspiciously.
"Could it be you?" He Jing widened his eyes and looked at Li Mengmei again and again.
The barrage became lively again, and fans expressed their guesses one after another.
[How could a mother poison her own child? Is there such a thing in the world? 】
[Of course, I remember there was a foreign movie like that! A mother always claims that her daughter is suffering from a terminal illness. In fact, her daughter is healthy. It is the mother who has been giving her daughter drugs. The one who is really sick is the mother. She suffers from Munchausen syndrome by proxy! 】
[This reminds me of a TV show I watched before. After the mother gave birth to a daughter, she was worried that the daughter would take away her husband's love, so she tried every means to kill her daughter. I wonder if this mother and daughter today are like this.]
[Wow, the world is so big and full of wonders!] 】
Facing her husband's questioning, Li Mengmei's eyes turned red with anger. She could also see the barrage of comments floating across the screen of her mobile phone clearly. Looking at these groundless speculations, she became even more angry. She simply sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"You are talking bullshit! They are my daughters, they are pieces of my flesh and blood! If anything happens to them, I am the one who feels the most distressed! If I could, I would rather bear it all for them. What do you strangers know!"
Seeing Li Mengmei so excited, the people around her didn't dare to guess. He Jing also calmed down. He said to Bai Mian: "Master, I believe my wife. After the child got sick, I saw everything she did for the child. It can't be her!"
Li Mengmei finally stopped crying. She crumpled up the paper she used to wipe her tears and threw it at He Jing's face: "You are such a rebel. How dare you doubt me? I will settle the score with you when I get home!"
"If it's not her, then it can only be you!" Lame Brother said to He Jing frankly, "I just took a close look at your account. You announced the donation channels in your profile, and you often encourage everyone to donate. Over the years, you should have made a lot, right?"
"Make money? You mean I deliberately poisoned my daughter, and then used my daughter to gain sympathy to make money?" He Jing was so angry that he laughed again. He used his mobile phone to search for the previous payment records like crazy.
After flipping through the screen for a while, He Jing displayed a dense collection of screenshots and threw the phone in front of Lame Brother: "Look, look! These are the donations I have received over the years. Each donation has a detailed list. This is the money I spent on my daughter's medical treatment. Does it count? Do the math yourself. Is it worthwhile for me to do this?"
Lame brother picked up the phone, looked carefully at the payment amounts on the screenshots, and then apologized and returned the phone to He Jing: "I'm sorry, buddy, I misunderstood you. You have received more than 600,000 donations in these years, but you have spent nearly 2 million to treat your child. It's true that you have spent less than you earned. It's not worth it no matter how you calculate it."
"That's right!" He Jing finally looked better. He pulled up his hair to show everyone, "Although I received donations, they were all spent on the child's treatment. My husband and I didn't dare to spend a penny. In order to pay for the child's medical treatment, we didn't eat or wear anything over the years. We even didn't go to the barber shop to get our hair cut. Look, now we cut our hair at home with scissors!"
Lame Brother took a closer look at the couple. Both of them were in their forties, but their hair was completely white. From a distance, they looked like an old man and an old woman. Their clothes were also loose, and it was obvious that they had been wearing them for many years. Lame Brother believed what they said.
"This is weird," Lame Brother muttered, stroking his chin, "It's not her father, it's not her mother, and it's not a stranger, so who could it be?"
"Don't forget, there's a member of the He family here!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Suddenly everyone looked at He Shiqiu with suspicion. He Shiqiu's forehead was sweating when everyone looked at her. She waved her hands and explained in panic:
"Don't look at me, why are you looking at me? This has nothing to do with me. Although she is my cousin, we don't keep in touch very often. We only meet during the Chinese New Year. The reason why I helped her line up this time is because I have finished the college entrance examination and the summer vacation is very long. My uncle and aunt asked me to come to Qingshui Town to help them. I thought it was not easy for their family, so I came to live with them!"
She wiped the sweat off her face, then thought of something else and added hastily, "Oh, by the way, when my cousin first became ill, I was still a kid and went to school obediently every day. How could she have had the opportunity to poison me?"
After He Shiqiu finished her explanation, no one doubted her anymore. After all, the child looked clumsy and didn't look like someone who could do such a thing.
"We've guessed everyone, and none of them are possible," He Jing urged, "Master, don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us who it is!"
"I'm not keeping you in suspense. I'm just giving you some time to accept the truth. The truth is..." Bai Mian stood up and slowly walked to He Huashan.
"The person who poisoned her was herself."
