Qiao Dashan nodded: "I know what to do. Don't worry, we won't let you down."
It's their business if they have money; they won't be greedy. Since my brother-in-law doesn't intend to acknowledge his ancestors, let's just treat him as a regular guest.
When Fu Jialin left home, he had already instructed the housekeeper to prepare everything. When he arrived home, it was lunchtime, so he immediately told the housekeeper to go to the kitchen and call someone to serve the dishes.
In the large living room, several helpers carried a table and placed it in the middle, and then brought over some chairs.
Fu Jialin: "Please don't be shy, everyone. Feel free to sit anywhere or however you like."
The once quiet home finally felt more alive, and he couldn't contain his joy. Approaching 80, his heart was now filled with thoughts of family.
Su Chenhao didn't stand on ceremony with him and casually found a seat to sit down. Qiao Xiaoni sat next to him, and the others also sat down one after another.
Fu Jialin saw a pregnant woman and couldn't help but ask, "How many more months until delivery?"
Tao Chunfang was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.
Qiao Xiaoni: "There are still three months until my due date."
"The weather in May is quite nice, neither too hot nor too cold," Fu Jialin replied with a smile.
The dishes prepared in the kitchen were quickly served, and all 20 dishes looked quite good.
Fu Jialin waved his hand: "Eat whatever you like, don't be shy. Feel at home here."
Su Chenhao was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat when Qiao Xiaoni stopped him, puzzling over why.
Qiao Xiaoni asked with a serious expression, "Do you often eat the dishes on the table?"
Tao Chunfang originally wanted to pick up her chopsticks to eat, but when she saw Qiao Xiaoni shake her head, she put her chopsticks down.
Fu Jialin: "Some of these dishes are eaten often, and some are not. Is there a problem?"
Qiao Xiaoni stood up and walked over: "There are many problems. The soybean and pig's blood dish closest to you will make your stomach uncomfortable if you eat it. Long-term consumption will cause stomach pain, which will then affect other organs."
The other vegetable next to it looks like rapeseed, but it's not; it's a vegetable containing trace amounts of toxins. Long-term consumption can cause numbness in the limbs, similar to a stroke.
"What? You're serious, not joking? How could there be a problem with these dishes?" Fu Jialin felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't eat these dishes often, but he did eat them occasionally.
"There are some problems with all the dishes on the table, more or less. You should ask the chef over to check on them." Qiao Xiaoni's expression was serious. If it were just one dish with a problem, that would be understandable. But for several dishes to have problems at once could only mean that it was deliberately done.
Fu Jialin dared not be careless and immediately sent the housekeeper to the kitchen to find someone.
Butler Fu quickly ran into the kitchen and came out again without anyone following him. As he ran, he said, "The chef ran away. When I got there, there was no one left except for someone chopping vegetables."
Fu Jialin slammed his fist on the table: "Bring this man back to me! This matter must be clarified. I want to see who sent him."
"Yes!" Butler Fu turned and hurriedly left to call for someone, his heart pounding. The chef had worked for the Fu family for over ten years. If he had really been bribed, the consequences would be severe.
Fu Jialin quickly calmed down: "Xiao Ni, do you know anything about medicine?"
Qiao Xiaoni nodded: "I know a little bit, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell. I have a bold guess that Young Master Fu's lung disease may have been acquired, that is, caused by these things."
Fu Jialin stood up anxiously: "Are you saying that his poor health is because someone poisoned his food, which is why he is in this state now?"
