Qiao Zhixia looked at the old man's ferocious face, her cold eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

"You old man, what right do you have to hit me? As far as I can remember, you've been hitting my sister, my mom, and me... Do you think it's awesome to hit a woman? But the truth is, you're just a bully!"

"You...what did you say? How dare you curse me like that?" The old man's body began to tremble uncontrollably, not knowing whether it was because of pain or anger.

"Isn't it? Think about your worthless life. What use have you been to anything but beating women at home after drinking? Yes... you can even take off a widow's pants! When you die, I'll carve your glorious deeds on your tombstone. How about that?"

"Hahaha……"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Qiao Zhixia cast a provocative look at Old Man Qiao.

For the first time, Old Man Qiao was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot, but he just couldn't break free from Qiao Zhixia's grip.

But Qiao Zhixia continued to add fuel to the fire: "I'm going to tell you today, everyone in this village can make money from me, except your family..."

After she finished speaking, she shook off the old man's dirty hands and glared coldly at Mr. Qiao and his wife.

Old man Qiao's body was numb with pain, and he started swearing at her, not only at Qiao Zhixia, but also at her future child, which caused people around him to point fingers at him.

"Is this what an elder can say to his descendants? No wonder Xiao Qiao didn't recognize him, he deserved it!"

Although Old Man Qiao was thick-skinned and didn't care about other people's opinions, Old Third Qiao and his wife had to save face, so they quickly dragged the old couple away in shame.

Before they left, Qiao Zhixia clearly saw the deep hatred in their eyes.

Qiao Zhixia knew that they would never give up if they didn't get any advantage, so she had to take action.

She turned around and looked around the yard, then fixed her eyes on a boy who was a good friend of Qiao Jinbao and Qiao Yinbao.

So I paid 50 cents plus two apples to buy him over...

As soon as Old Man Qiao and his companions returned home, they started cursing Qiao Xinguo and Qiao Zhixia.

They finally realized the situation. Qiao Zhixia would never give them her fortune.

"I heard that the damn girl opened a shop in the city a long time ago, and now her company is also successful. How did she live so well?" Aunt Qiao's face, which was twisted by jealousy, looked particularly vicious.

Old man Qiao looked resentful, "Since they don't want to drink my toast, then it's not my fault."

"Dad, what do you want to do?" asked Qiao Lao San in confusion.

"Since they don't have me as their father in their hearts, I will naturally not show them any mercy. If they want to make money by themselves and let me suffer, they are dreaming!"

After Old Man Qiao made up his mind, he asked the old lady to buy two bottles of pesticides the next day. Not only did he want to make Qiao Zhixia's business go bankrupt, but he also wanted them to go to jail.

But it rained heavily that night. It rained all night long, and we didn't buy the pesticide until the third day.

"Go out and ask around to see where they're going to pick the vegetables. We can go over there at night and spray the vegetables with pesticides in advance."

"Dad, that vegetable field is too conspicuous. What if we are discovered?" Qiao Lao San obviously didn't dare to do it.

“You really…”

"Why is your apple so big? Did you buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative?" Qiao Jinbao in the yard was suddenly attracted by the big apple in his friend's pocket.

"These are not apples from the supply and marketing cooperative. My mother picked them from the mountain that your sister owns. My mother will go up there to help pick them tomorrow morning. This new variety of apple is very expensive, and only the rich can afford it..."

When old man Qiao heard this inadvertently, he immediately became interested.

Since it's easy to be exposed in the fields, let's go up the mountain.

"Dad, the fruit trees on the mountain have only been planted for less than a month, how is it possible that they are already bearing fruit? Is this a mistake?" Qiao Lao San always felt uneasy.

"Isn't it a new variety? Maybe it was grafted. No matter what, we can go up the mountain tonight and take a look and find out."

So that night, Old Man Qiao and Old Third Qiao each carried a spray bottle of medicine and sneaked up the mountain under the cover of darkness.

As the moon emerged from the clouds, even without lighting, we could still see the road clearly.

The father and son walked around the mountain, and finally found the apple trees that Qiao Zhixia had planted first an hour later. At this time, the trees were full of big red apples.

They looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they went up to spray pesticides on the apple trees.

But unexpectedly, when he was about to reach the tree, Qiao Laosan suddenly stepped on empty air. He instinctively reached out and grabbed tightly onto Qiao Laotou beside him.

Immediately afterwards, as expected, a heavy feeling came, and the father and son fell into a three-meter-deep pit one after the other.

Unfortunately, there was still about one meter of water in the pit.

Everyone spit water when they fell, and after struggling for a while, they finally stood up.

But since I am not that tall, even if I stand on tiptoe, the water can only stop at my chin.

But the water is cold. How long can they hold on?

What's worse is that they all smelled a strong odor of pesticides.

Old man Qiao touched his back and suddenly his face turned pale.

When it fell, the lid of the spray bottle fell off, and the pesticide in the bottle was poured out and mixed with the water.

"Your mother...that idiot, I told her a long time ago that the lid of the medicine bottle was loose and she needed to be replaced with a new one, but she...refused to listen. I'm going to beat her to death when I get home..."

Old man Joe stood on tiptoe, raised his head as much as possible, and exposed his mouth and nostrils above the water, but he was old after all, and soon he could not hold on any longer.

The father and son untied the potion bottle behind their backs and decided to try to climb out.

But Third Brother Qiao had been idle for a long time and was very weak. Not only could he not lift Old Man Qiao up, but he also threw him into the water.

Old man Qiao was forced to drink several gulps of water mixed with highly toxic pesticides, and he suddenly became angry and panicked.

Qiao Lao San was also extremely anxious. He was already shivering from the cold and stuttered, "Dad...what should we do? Should we...call for help?"

Originally, they thought that calling people over would be tantamount to being caught in the act, and they were too guilty to do so.

But now that they were almost dead, their face was naturally not worth mentioning.

So the father and son shouted decisively: "Hurry up... Is there anyone here... Help..."

However, there was not a single ghost in the mountains in the middle of the night, and they were shivering with cold, so they could not make much noise.

Time passed, and even though their voices grew weaker, no one responded.

The moon disappeared into the clouds again, and darkness, coldness, and fear swallowed up the two people in the deep pit.

When the old lady of the Qiao family woke up from her sleep and found that her old man had not come back all night, she realized that something was wrong.

At this time, it was still dark, and she hurriedly put on her blue cloth jacket and went to look for someone.

As expected, the old lady's movements startled the villagers who got up early to work in the fields.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, she could only tell the truth.

When Secretary Chen realized something was wrong and took people up the mountain to find the father and son, the old man was already dying.

After all, Qiao Laosan is young, and although his situation is better than the old man, he is also confused.

The old man died on the way to the hospital.

Qiao Laosan was sent to the hospital in the county seat, but because of the high temperature and pesticide poisoning, his condition was very critical. The doctor gave them emergency treatment and sent them to the city hospital immediately.
