Chapter 104 Poisoning
Ye Lianlian collapsed on the ground, not even wanting to cry. Suddenly, she felt that Zhang Xiaoming was not someone to be bullied. If she pissed him off in the future, she would definitely get beaten up.
She didn't dare go back to her parents' home to complain about what happened today. If she dared to go to Liujia Village and bring it up, who knows how many people would blame her. After all, Junjun had been saved by that bitch Bai Yangfan, and she must have told everyone that she was the one who instigated him to go to the Lishuiao Pond.
No one bothered her, probably because they didn't believe a child's words. Lu Jingheng came looking for her, so he must have some evidence in his hands.
As long as she goes back to Liujia Village, the man might question her.
People often say that a guilty conscience is the hallmark of a thief, which is exactly what Ye Lianlian feels at this moment.
She was suspicious and linked everything she had done to Lu Jingheng's wisdom, thinking that he had something on her. Whenever she thought of that man, Ye Lianlian felt extremely wronged.
At the same time, he became even more cruel to Bai Yangfan, wishing that she would be in trouble as soon as possible, or even die of a sudden illness.
But is this possible?
How could Bai Yangfan's fate be determined by her? Humans are not gods, so how could they have such great power?
Ye Lianlian was unwilling to give up, but for the time being she did not dare to act rashly and stayed there obediently for a while.
In the blink of an eye, it is the Ghost Festival on July 15th.
Liujia Village had a tradition of steaming thousand-layer cakes during the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Bai Yangfan didn't like making that, so he planned to steam some glutinous rice and make some rice cakes. Ye Lianlian's second sister-in-law, grateful to Bai Yangfan for saving her son, Ye Junjun, discussed with her mother-in-law and decided to give Bai Yangfan a piece of thousand-layer cake as a token of gratitude.
Ye Lianlian's mother agreed, cut a piece of thousand-layer cake and put it in a bowl, preparing to let Ye Junjun deliver it himself later, because it was his life that was saved by someone else.
Ye Lianlian, who was about to give birth, came home for the festival. Seeing the thousand-layer cake in the bowl, she had an idea and volunteered to send it. Her mother didn't think much of it and said that since her daughter said she wanted to send it, she just had to express her gratitude.
The rest is nothing special.
After giving the instructions, her mother went into the kitchen to work. To steam the thousand-layer cake, one had to keep an eye on the fire and add another layer after each layer was cooked. As soon as her mother left, Ye Lianlian went back to her room and took out a packet of medicinal powder, which she sprinkled on the thousand-layer cake. The cake was very hot when it came out of the pot, and the medicinal powder was quickly melted and absorbed.
Thinking that it would be impossible to deliver it by himself, he walked for a while and stopped a girl named Lanniu, who was about eight or nine years old, and asked her to deliver it for him.
Lanniu's family lived a relatively hard life. Her mother gave birth to four daughters before she had a brother. With so many children and a heavy burden, they had never seen such good food on a daily basis.
She had never seen her mother steam thousand-layer cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival since she was a child. Looking at the bowl of thousand-layer cakes in her hand, the little girl suddenly had an idea.
Anyway, this thing was said to be for Bai Yangfan, and she had no idea how much they had given her. Her family was well-fed, so they wouldn't care about such a small amount. Why not take it home and share some with her sisters, and then give the rest to her.
Lanniu was really craving the thousand-layer cake, so she took the bowl and went home.
All the sisters were not at home, and a little girl of eight or nine years old couldn't resist her greed, so she cut a piece of the thousand-layer cake with a knife and ate it happily.
Soon after, she developed stomach pain, heartburn, and blurred vision. Not long after, she died.
Ye Lianlian returned home still feeling good about herself, convinced that this time, that little bastard Bai Qihang was truly doomed. How could he resist something as delicious as the thousand-layer cake? If he ate it, his life would be over.
She just didn't believe that Bai Yangfan could remain calm.
Unfortunately, she never dreamed that Lan Niuer would take the thousand-layer cake home and eat it herself.
If you eat this, something bad will happen.
When Lanniu's sister returned home and saw her sister lying motionless on the ground, she was terrified and went to look for her parents crying.
Everyone in the field was there, and she spoke in a halting manner.
"Mom! Lanniu brought back a bowl of thousand-layer cake from somewhere and died after eating it."
Lan Niu's mother and the women working nearby were so scared that their faces turned pale, especially Lan Niu's mother. She didn't care about anything else and hurried to the field and ran home without even bothering to put on her shoes.
When I got home, I saw Lanniu lying on the ground curled up, no longer breathing.
There was a bowl of thousand-layer cake on the table, and a kitchen knife beside it. A small piece of the cake was cut off and disappeared.
"Girl! My dear! What happened to you? That damned man gave us the thousand-layer cake, but he killed my Lanniu. Oh my God! We are poor and can't afford to make thousand-layer cake, and you can't poison our child!"
Lanniu's mother hugged her daughter and cried heart-wrenchingly. The neighbors next door heard it and gathered around.
Seeing this, I was shocked.
From ancient times to the present, such a thing has never happened in Liujia Village. A lively child is gone just like that. Isn't it scary?
As soon as Lanniu's mother cried, the whole village knew about it. Bai Yangfan also felt strange. Why would someone want to poison Lanniu out of the blue?
The child is usually very gentle and quiet, and she is not a disrespectful child. Who has a grudge against her?
"Lannuo's mom! Don't cry so quickly, let me see Lannuo's face." Bai Yangfan first had to make sure whether the child was poisoned to death. What if it wasn't? Wouldn't it be unfair to the person who sent the thousand-layer cake to their family with good intentions?
Lan Niu's mother also obeyed and immediately let Lan Niu go. Bai Yangfan saw clearly at this moment that Lan Niu was poisoned to death.
"Everyone come and identify, whose bowl contains the thousand-layer cake?" Bai Yangfan was very curious, wondering who wanted to kill Lan Niu.
Why would you kill such a young child?
Many women came in to look at it, but they couldn't recognize it. After all, this kind of large coarse porcelain bowl that anyone can buy on the market is owned by many people in the village. Who knows who it belongs to?
Seeing that no one dared to say anything, Bai Yangfan poured the thousand-layer cake directly onto the table: "Let me see if there is any engraving on the bottom of the bowl. If there is, I will know who this bowl belongs to."
Unfortunately, there is no inscription on the bottom of the bowl, so I don’t know who the bowl belongs to.
Bai Yangfan was not sure whether Lanniu was poisoned by the thousand-layer cake. In front of everyone, he broke off a piece of the thousand-layer cake and fed it to the chicken. After a few minutes, the chicken flapped its wings and could not stand up.
After waiting for a while, he stretched out his neck and died.
When Party Secretary Ye heard that Lanniu had been poisoned by the thousand-layer cake, he shouted angrily, "Investigate it! Investigate thoroughly! We must find out whose bowl this is and who sent the thousand-layer cake. This is outrageous! They actually poisoned someone's child! This is abhorrent."
At this time, an old woman came in with a cane and said to Secretary Ye, "No need to check, I know whose bowl this is."
"oh?"
Everyone listened attentively.
The old woman glanced at Secretary Ye and said, "This bowl of thousand-layer cake belongs to you. It was brought by your daughter Ye Lianlian."
