Chapter 170 Who Poisoned
Although Xie Dongmei is old, she is not confused.
She knows clearly what she can do and what she cannot do.
When I first saw Aunt Chen, I thought she was a simple and honest farmer, but who knew she had ulterior motives.
Her tone suddenly became much colder. "To be honest, Fuzi is just too popular. Several families have come to her house these past few days, all wanting to marry her. But this girl only has eyes for Qin Fang. Young people have good feelings for each other, and as a grandmother, I can't say anything. It's up to her to decide what to do with the children."
I have to say that Xie Dongmei is quite capable. She shut the other person up with just a few words.
The scene was a bit awkward.
Aunt Chen was embarrassed and felt that her trip was in vain.
She originally thought that the old lady had a kind face and was easy to talk to, but she didn't expect that she was not easy to mess with.
Not saying a word of no was enough to make her feel ashamed to stay any longer.
He slapped his thigh and said deliberately, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot that I have something to do at home. I won't eat dinner here."
Ruan Fu came out with the food and was a little surprised when she heard: "Didn't we already agree on this? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
Aunt Chen was just talking big, she couldn't move her feet when she smelled the aroma of the meat.
He just looked at Xie Dongmei beside him and said hesitantly, "Old lady, how about..."
Xie Dongmei was always hospitable, but this time she didn't try to persuade him to stay: "Then I won't keep you. Family matters are more important."
Aunt Chen looked embarrassed. She had already said what she wanted to say, so she could only stand up.
Chen Chunsheng had wanted to leave a long time ago.
He was tired after a long day and wanted to go back and rest.
His mother insisted that he develop a relationship with Ruan Fu and forced him to come over.
What kind of relationship are you trying to cultivate? Didn’t you hear what her grandmother said? They have a good relationship. You’re standing here trying to please her, looking like a fool.
Now that he finally found the opportunity, he immediately got up and left.
They were having a great time just now, but why did he suddenly leave? Ruan Fu was a little confused.
She didn't have any thoughts about the mother and son, but she was still very happy that there was someone to chat with Xie Dongmei.
She sat down at the table obediently, "Grandma, do you like Aunt Chen very much? Then next time I'll ask her to come home and spend more time with you?"
People of the same age might have more topics to talk about, but in any case, she wanted Xie Dongmei to feel more comfortable.
Xie Dongmei shook her head and said seriously, "Fuzi, grandma is telling you, Chunsheng looks honest, but his mother is probably not an easy person to deal with. Stay away from them and don't cause trouble for yourself."
Ruan Fu was very smart and realized something immediately. "Grandma, did Aunt Chen say something to you just now?"
Xie Dongmei smiled and said, "No, I just feel that Qin Fang is not here recently, and it's just the two of you busy in the store, a man and a woman alone, and I'm afraid people will gossip about you."
She didn't intend to expose the truth now, hoping that what Aunt Chen said just now was just a whim and she had already dispelled her thoughts.
Ruan Fu nodded. "Don't worry, Grandma. I've handed over all the store matters to Sister Wang. I'll be reviewing at home for the next period of time. The monthly exam is just over ten days away, so I have to work harder."
She had just flipped through the review materials Qin Fang had sent her. They were all classic and good questions. This person must have put a lot of thought into it. Since that was the case, she couldn't let him down.
Although she didn't think Chen Chunsheng had any intentions towards her, she still had to try to avoid some troubles.
The food is on the table.
Tiantian took a deep breath, clapped her hands, and said in a baby voice, "It smells so good, Sister Fu, I want to eat that piece of meat."
Ruan Fu picked it up for her with a smile, and said coquettishly, "Little greedy cat."
The meat was still a little hot, so she blew on it gently to cool it down, then took a small bite to check the temperature.
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
Xie Dongmei noticed something was wrong, "What's wrong, Fuzi? Is there something wrong with this meat?"
Ruan Fu pursed her lips and said nothing. She put down the meat, scooped another spoonful of soup, took a sip, and her face became even uglier.
He said coldly, "Grandma, I suspect this pig's trotter soup has been tampered with. It was slow-cooked with Aconitum kusnezoffii. This is a poisonous herb. Drinking it will cause vomiting and diarrhea, mental confusion, and even hallucinations."
Xie Dongmei was shocked. "Fuzi, are you sure? Didn't the restaurant stew this and send it over? How could there be a problem?"
Ruan Fu frowned, "Perhaps to avoid being noticed, the dosage of Aconitum kusnezoffii in this is not very strong, but the smell of aconitine is very distinctive. I have come across it before, so I noticed it immediately."
She scooped some water from the soup and it seemed that the Aconitum had been taken away in advance. The person who poisoned it was obviously well prepared and his intention was to kill him.
The previous car accident is still vivid in my mind, and now there is this poisonous pig's trotter soup.
The person in the dark is obviously not a good person. What other tricks will he use against me in the future?
Who on earth is trying to harm others again and again? Ruan Fu felt hatred in her heart.
She frowned. Could it be that, as Qin Fang said, the poisonous soup was also aimed at him?
That's impossible. Qin Fang rarely eats here, so the possibility of him eating this pig's trotter is very small.
But the other party still did this, so there is only one possibility.
Ruan Fu realized something and her face looked unhappy. Qin Fang's judgment was probably wrong. The other party was probably coming for her, Ruan Fu.
Tiantian's little face turned pale, she didn't quite understand, but she knew that she couldn't eat the meal anymore, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks obediently, ran over and grabbed Ruan Fu's hand.
"Sister Fu, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Ruan Fu held her in her arms, feeling a little scared.
If I hadn't reacted in time, Tiantian would have suffered from food poisoning. Once something like aconite is ingested, the consequences would be disastrous.
When Xie Dongmei heard this, she naturally didn't think Fuzi was joking, but she really couldn't understand why things suddenly turned out like this.
"Fuzi, are you sure someone has tampered with this pig's trotter soup?"
Ruan Fu nodded vigorously. "Grandma, I used to work with Chinese medicinal herbs, so I can naturally tell the taste of Aconitum. This thing is very toxic and needs to be stewed for more than six hours to dissipate the poison. Otherwise, if you eat it, you will suffer from diarrhea and vomiting at best, and coma at worst."
Hearing the seriousness of the matter, even Xie Dongmei's expression changed. "How could there be such a vicious person? Could it be those two people just now who did it?"
Ruan Fu shook her head. "I'm not sure. We have no hatred or grudges. They have no reason to harm me."
Xie Dongmei pursed her lips and said nothing. Sometimes there is no need for a reason to hurt someone.
In addition, Aunt Chen obviously had some plans for Fu Zi, and she was afraid that the proper method would not work, so she thought of using crooked means to achieve her goal.
The two men were discussing, and just as they finished speaking, there was a noise at the gate of the courtyard.
Ruan Fu realized something, her face turned cold, and she strode over and opened the door. "Who's outside?"
