In the evening, the faint afterglow of the setting sun shines on the horizon.
As the sky gradually darkened, most villagers returned home to prepare dinner.
A figure sneaked up to the courtyard of Xie Yu's house.
She gently pushed the door open, looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then walked in.
At this time, Xie Yu was sitting under a tree to enjoy the cool air, thinking about what else he needed to prepare for Chang Suisui.
After she moved her things back at noon, she went to the village clinic in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, he did come back and said he would be back later.
Xie Yu naturally listened to her, so when he heard the noise at the door just now, he thought it was Chang Suisui coming back.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Zhao Xiulan.
At noon, when Xie Gui came to help, he could see that he was not in a good mood.
Zhao Xiulan didn't show up at that time, so he knew that Xie Gui and Zhao Xiulan must have had a big fight.
But he was a little surprised that Zhao Xiulan didn't go to his house to cause trouble at noon.
So he was not surprised to see Zhao Xiulan suddenly appear.
I just don't know what kind of trouble she is going to make.
Xie Yu frowned, "What are you doing here so late?"
Zhao Xiulan forced a smile, her eyes flickering as she said, "Hey, I didn't have time to help your eldest brother at noon, so I made dinner specially for you tonight."
As she spoke, she gently placed a bamboo basket in her hand on the table.
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Xie Yu.
There was a certain deliberate caution in his movements.
In the basket, a bowl of steaming noodles and a golden scrambled egg came into view, causing Xie Yu to raise his eyebrows for no reason.
At this time, Zhao Xiulan perfectly demonstrated the proverb that the weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken.
Her eyes swept over the noodles and scrambled eggs on the table, "Is this for me?"
"Yeah, this noodle will become clumpy if you don't eat it now, try it now."
Zhao Xiulan urged Xie Yu to eat it quickly while it was hot, but her words revealed panic.
It's hard not to notice something is amiss.
Xie Yu's eyes lingered among the food, and his doubts grew even more intense.
He remained calm and picked up the chopsticks on the table. "I really haven't eaten yet, but..."
His chopsticks paused on the scrambled eggs, deliberately delaying time and carefully observing Zhao Xiulan's reaction.
Every time his chopsticks touched the food, Zhao Xiulan looked more uneasy.
She rubbed the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, her eyes flickering, as if she was trying hard to hide something.
"Sister-in-law, since you worked so hard to cook, why don't we eat together?" Xie Yu suddenly suggested, with a tentative look in his eyes.
When Zhao Xiulan heard this, she quickly waved her hand to refuse, looking even more flustered, "No, no, we're cooking at home, eat quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold."
Xie Yu already had some idea in his mind that something might have been done with the food.
I just don't know what's inside it.
And what is Zhao Xiulan’s purpose?
His black eyes narrowed, he picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and was about to put it into his mouth, then paused.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Jianguo went to town again today?" He pretended to chat casually and blew the noodles beside his mouth.
Zhao Xiulan's attention was focused on Xie Yu's hand, and her whole body tensed up, "Ah? Really?"
Xie Yu hummed, and then continued: "He shouldn't be back yet, right? I heard from the people at the town's Public Security Bureau that something seems to have happened to him."
"What?!" Zhao Xiulan's eyes widened instantly, "What happened to Jianguo?"
Only then did she remember that Xie Jianguo had not returned yet.
Even if you go to town on weekdays, you should come back by now.
Xie Yu shrugged, "I don't know the details..."
As he spoke, he took advantage of Zhao Xiulan's distraction to drop the noodles he was holding on the ground.
The sky was dark and there was no sign of any flaws.
"But Jianguo's case shouldn't be that serious, otherwise the Public Security Bureau would have called the village committee a long time ago."
Xie Yu picked up another piece of egg and put it on the noodles, then blew on it and said, "Sister-in-law, your egg noodles taste really good... I guess I have to wait until I finish eating before I can bring the bowl and chopsticks to you."
Zhao Xiulan finally came to her senses and heard what Xie Yu said. Then she noticed that he had already eaten half of the noodles.
She had originally just sprinkled the powder on top, and as long as Xie Yu ate it, her mission would be accomplished.
Zhao Xiulan was thinking about Xie Jianguo and was too lazy to stay any longer.
She forced a smile and said, "Okay, let's talk after you finish eating. I'll go back first."
"Well, take care, sister-in-law."
…
Xie Yu watched Zhao Xiulan leave, his brows almost twisted into a knot.
Seeing as she left so quickly, I guess there wasn’t any good medicine in the food.
But it shouldn't be a lethal drug.
Although Zhao Xiulan didn't like him, she would never do such a thing as poisoning him even for Xie Jianguo.
This kind of direct poisoning is too easy to detect.
But in order not to be discovered, he put away all the food and went straight back to his room.
At the same time, Zhao Xiulan, who had left Xie Yu's house, was stopped again on her way back.
Zhao Xiulan was obviously startled. When she saw clearly who was stopping her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You, why are you here again? I, I already pressed it for you and did what you said..."
When Zhao Hui heard this, his expression changed. He slowly approached Zhao Xiulan and asked, "Did you see him eat it with your own eyes?"
Zhao Xiulan nodded hurriedly, "Of course not. He even praised my fried eggs for being delicious. I had already eaten half a bowl when I left."
Although she didn't see Xie Yu finish eating, she saw that the medicinal powder was sprinkled on top of the vegetables and noodles.
Even if I don't finish all of it, those medicines should be enough, right?
Zhao Xiulan thought about this and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure you can succeed today? I tell you that little bitch Chang Suisui has moved over there. If you run into her then, it will be difficult to do it."
Zhao Hui sneered, "Ha! What kind of waves do you think a cripple and a woman can stir up?"
Zhao Xiulan curled her lips and couldn't help but mutter, "Then why are you still giving drugs to the cripple?"
Zhao Hui felt a little embarrassed, after all, this was indeed the fact.
He originally wanted to attack Xie Yu directly, but even though Xie Yu was disabled, he was still vigilant and sharp.
It's possible that when he wants to attack him, this guy will come up with some way to escape.
He might not be able to kill Xie Yu by then, and might even attract other villagers.
That's why he thought of asking Zhao Xiulan, the person who usually delivered meals to Xie Yu, to drug Xie Yu.
This way, it would be easy for him to do whatever he wanted...
