Chapter 135 Living on the Street
"You're poisoned!"
Old Man Zhong and Cheng Zhong were acquaintances, so they were surprised to see that his expression was not right.
Old man Zhong didn't hide anything and said it directly.
Cheng Zhong opened his mouth and was obviously stunned.
After hearing what Old Man Zhong said, Ma was shocked and quickly asked him.
"You, what did you say?"
"My husband has been poisoned? What kind of poison?"
She looked nervous and quickly pulled Cheng Zhong to sit down.
"Husband, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"How could he be poisoned?"
Cheng Zhong touched his chest, also looking confused.
"I've been feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath these past two days!"
"I'm walking fast and I feel a little dizzy!"
“I originally thought that I was too tired!”
"So I went out for some socializing today and came back quickly because I wanted to take a rest!"
“I didn’t expect…”
"Am I poisoned?"
"But I didn't notice it at all?"
Both husband and wife looked at Old Man Zhong.
Old Man Zhong walked over to him, sat down, and took his pulse.
After a moment, he frowned and said.
"Your case is a chronic poison. You've been poisoned for almost half a month!"
"If my old man hadn't found out!"
"Other doctors would think you were overtired and needed to recuperate and rest more if they saw you like this."
"It will take another month or two!"
"You become swollen all over and can only lie paralyzed in bed. You can't urinate and it's very painful!"
"From now on, I will just wait for death..."
Everyone was shocked. I didn't expect it to be so serious.
Ma held Cheng Zhong's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
Old Man Zhong continued, "And when you die, the coroner will come to perform an autopsy and think you had some serious illness and died on your own!"
"I never thought you died of poisoning!"
Ma gritted her teeth, her eyes red.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Who is so cruel?"
"Uncle, can my husband be saved now?"
"What medicine do you need to take?"
"I'll get ready now!"
She had heard from her husband before that this man was a doctor and had cured Maisli and his people.
Now I can see at a glance that my husband has been poisoned. You can tell at first glance that he is an expert.
Old Man Zhong didn't keep anyone in suspense.
He said it directly. "In fact, this kind of poison is not a serious poison, let alone a poison!"
"It's a good medicine to cure the disease!"
"But this medicine can only be taken by people with this disease! People with good health can't take it casually!"
"If a sick person eats it, it will save his life. If a healthy person eats it, it will kill him!"
Liu Xin widened her eyes and asked, "Is what grandpa was talking about a medicine for treating diabetes?"
Old Man Zhong nodded.
"Yes, it's the medicine for treating diabetes!"
"People with diabetes will take this formula of medicine, but people with good health should not take it carelessly."
Old man Zhong asked Cheng Zhong.
"Have you been taking medicine often recently?"
Cheng Zhong just shook his head.
"No, I've always been in good health, so I never take medicine!"
"And I'm afraid of hardship!" He smiled awkwardly.
Seeing that he was out of tune, Ma slapped him angrily.
"Think about it carefully. Since you were poisoned and it took so long, you must have eaten something you shouldn't have!"
Cheng Zhong was not angry when she took pictures of him.
He said it with some grievance.
“I really don’t take medicine every day!”
"That stuff is so bitter, I'm not crazy to eat it!"
"When did you see me take medicine?"
Ma stared at him suspiciously.
He is helpless!
Liu Shiqi suddenly spoke.
"So, what if it's not medicine, but soup?"
"Or maybe some medicinal food or something?"
“It tastes very good!”
"Maybe you won't even be able to taste the medicine!"
Cheng Zhong was stunned.
Before he could say anything, Ma asked quickly.
"Haven't you been going to the master's house every day recently?"
"I always come back after dinner!"
"Could it be? Did you eat something you shouldn't have eaten at the master's house?"
Cheng Zhong frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke hesitantly.
"I do eat at the host's house every night before returning home!"
"Many people eat together at the host's house. When eating, everyone has a bowl of soup in front of them. It's different every day!"
"This? Is the medicine in the soup I drink every day?"
“To be honest, the soup was a little bitter, but overall it tasted good!”
The more Cheng Zhong spoke, the more he felt there was something wrong.
Because once he didn't drink the soup, his eldest brother asked him if it was not to his taste.
He drank it all every day to avoid trouble.
Everyone looked at each other and thought that the problem was the soup.
Ma cursed with gnashing teeth.
"It must be those people. See if you don't help them make money!"
"So I want to kill you and take the property from us, an orphan and a widow!"
"What a vicious mind!"
Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows and thought.
[Ma is really right!] 】
[The people in the master’s house really think so!] 】
[Originally, Cheng Zhong was just a bastard son of the Cheng family. After he became an adult, he was separated and worked hard on his own. 】
[But unexpectedly, Cheng Zhong himself has the ability to earn a large fortune through his own efforts! 】
[Obviously much richer than those people in the main family! There is only one wife and two children! 】
[Unlike those people in the host family, who don’t have much money and have to support a large family of idle people, their lives are difficult! 】
[So, isn’t this just about Cheng Zhong’s family property?] 】
[But unfortunately Cheng Zhong has been separated!] The host can’t obviously gain any advantage! 】
[Moreover, Cheng Zhong and his wife are both smart people. They know what the head of the family is going to do. In order to avoid a fallout, they have been forbearing! But they don’t let the master’s family interfere in their business! 】
[Just give some small money and things to the host occasionally!] It's considered to be acceptable in terms of face! 】
[How could those people from the master's family be willing to accept this!] 】
[So he tried to find a way to kill Cheng Zhong.] 】
[After Cheng Zhong died, because Ma was a woman, she was bullied everywhere, and her past identity was also dug out by the master's family! 】
[Their children were still young and could not take over the huge business, so the owner of the house teamed up with outsiders to seize all their property. 】
[In the end, Ma and her two children became penniless and lived on the streets. It was also at this time that they realized that it was the master of the family who poisoned and killed Cheng Zhong! 】
[But there’s nothing I can do even if I know!] They have no money, no status, and nowhere to seek justice! 】
[Ma was also a ruthless person. Knowing that she could not stay here any longer, she took her two children and wandered all the way to Kyoto! 】
[I have suffered a lot that outsiders cannot imagine.] 】
[He started out by working for others, then setting up a street stall to sell vegetables, little by little, he saved up a fortune, and later on became a royal merchant! 】
[In the end, Ma became the biggest money bag of Emperor Shenwu...]
