Chapter 57 Reaping the Bitter Fruit



"Are you sure we don't need to worry about it?" Su Xiuju frowned, wondering if she had misheard, so she asked again.

Meng Shuyun raised her hand and gently tapped her head, saying irritably, "Go wash up, you have to go to work tomorrow, you know?"

Su Xiuju rubbed her head, responded, and then, as if on air, quickly returned to Su Xiulan's room to see her two sweet and cuddly nephews.

"Sis, I'm back. There's something I want to tell you."

Su Xiuju was very fond of them, her eyes fixed on the two little ones, who were awake at the moment.

She reached out and touched the diaper, and sure enough, it was wet.

While deftly changing the diaper, she said, "Sister, Second Brother... he broke his leg, you know that, right? I took him to see the doctor tonight, and the doctor said that as long as he keeps up with the rehabilitation, it's only a matter of time before he can stand up again. Sister... could you please talk to him? He listens to you."

Su Xiulan was silent for a moment before asking softly, "What did he say?"

"My second brother was unhappy and gave me a severe scolding today. Also, my eldest brother's family got poisoned today for no apparent reason."

Su Xiuju was very quick and efficient. In the blink of an eye, she changed the diaper and made sure to keep a safe distance from the two little ones before taking something out of her pocket.

"Sis, look at this, isn't it rat poison?"

Su Xiulan leaned closer for a closer look, her heart tightening. She replied confidently, "That's right, it's rat poison. I can't forget that smell. Where did it come from? You mean someone poisoned it?"

Su Xiuju's mind raced, as if she had suddenly realized something, and her face was filled with shock.

In her heart, Su Xiangnan was definitely not that kind of person; how could he possibly do such a thing!

She didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart.

"No, no, Second Sister, don't think such things." Su Xiuju explained in a panic, "We have a rat infestation, and Mother asked me to buy rat poison. I'm afraid I bought the wrong one. Second Sister, it's getting late, I'm going to wash up and go to bed. Just call me if you need anything."

Su Xiuju fled like a frightened rabbit. She really didn't expect her second sister to be so shrewd. She just said something casually, and her second sister guessed almost everything.

Mother is probably still in the dark about this!

Although she couldn't figure out why her second brother put rat poison in the chicken coop, she didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart.

Su Xiangnan is definitely not that kind of person!

Maybe Jiang Xue is holding a grudge and deliberately doing something bad. That woman is capable of such a thing.

Seeing Su Xiuju acting suspiciously, with her hand still covering her pocket, Meng Shuyun asked, "What's in your pocket? Can't I see it?"

Su Xiuju shuddered in fright and mumbled, "Ah! It's nothing, it's just some milk candy from my second sister. Mother, would you like one?"

"I won't eat."

Su Xiuju escaped unscathed and quickly slipped away.

The next morning, the Meng family was having breakfast quietly when suddenly the gate was pounded on loudly.

The sound was like a summoning of souls, startling the two little ones inside the room into crying out loud.

Su Xiuju put down her chopsticks and hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go open the door."

"Big brother! Dad! You...you're discharged from the hospital? You recovered so quickly!"

As soon as Su Dahai entered the door, he exploded like a firecracker, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Where's your mother? Tell her to get out here!"

"What are you yelling about so early in the morning?" Meng Shuyun stepped forward, shielding Su Xiuju behind her, and looked at the father and son, whose faces were ashen.

"You poisoned the chicken! How could you be so vicious? You're trying to kill my whole family! I've already called the police. You wait, I'll make sure you go to jail."

"Mother, how can you be so heartless? Jiang Xue is pregnant, and you won't even spare the baby in her belly. You are too vicious! Yesterday, Xiang Nan was the only one who didn't eat that plate of chicken and he was fine. Let's see how you try to explain it away. It must be the chicken that's the problem."

Early this morning, there was already some excitement to be seen, as neighbors came out in a flurry, carrying their rice bowls to eat melons.

"Oh, Jiang Xue said yesterday that Sister Meng poisoned the chicken, and I didn't believe it, but it turns out it's true!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how vicious! They don't even spare pregnant women and unborn children. They have no conscience!"

“Su Xiangbei is right, otherwise why would Su Xiangnan be unharmed?”

"Sister-in-law Meng, you wouldn't be holding a grudge because your son doesn't support you in your old age, and you want to ruin them, would you? You brought this all on yourself, and now you regret it? You should have kept your divorce!"

Sarcastic remarks rose and fell, and everyone pointed their chopsticks at Meng Shuyun.

Meng Shuyun pretended not to hear, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips as she coldly stared at the father and son with their dark faces.

"You say it's my chicken, what proof do you have? It's just baseless accusation, isn't it? What enemies you've made outside, what does that have to do with me? Even if the police come, I'm still in the right."

"You'd better produce some evidence. You think you can frame me with just a few words? No way."

Su Xiuju clutched the rat poison in her pocket tightly, her face turning deathly pale, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

What if the police come?

What if they find out it's the second brother...

Su Xiangbei shouted at the top of his lungs, "You still say it wasn't your chicken? Jiang Xue picked up the chicken you threw away and ate it, which is why she got poisoned. Yesterday you even came to snatch it, saying it was your chicken, so why are you denying it now!"

Su Dahai couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing Meng Shuyun's fearless demeanor, he swung his fist and charged forward.

"You wicked woman! It's not enough that you've ruined our Su family; you have to destroy us completely before you're satisfied! I'll beat you to death, you vicious woman, and that will be doing a service to the people!"
