Ye Qingqing chuckled inwardly and silently gave the old lady a thumbs up. She was truly amazing, having Ye Zhiguo, that beast in human form, completely under her thumb.
"I'll call my second and third uncles right away. Grandma, it's good that you're back in the countryside. Even though there's no meat to eat, you won't be in any danger!"
Ye Qingqing added another spoonful of hot oil to the fire, and the old lady cried even louder, pounding her chest loudly.
"I just ate some meat, and my daughter-in-law can't stand this old woman. She poisoned me! Righteous and just judge... please come out and do justice for me..."
Ye Zhiguo's face darkened. He had roughly figured out the cause and effect of the old lady's tearful account, but he still couldn't quite believe it. How could Shen Yanhong possibly have the guts to harm his mother?
Shen Yanhong has never had her own opinions and always follows his orders. If he tells this woman to go east, she would never dare to go west. Has she really gone too far this time?
Or maybe I made a mistake?
"Qingqing, stop making a fuss and put the phone down!"
Ye Zhiguo stopped Ye Qingqing, who was about to make a phone call, his face very unpleasant. Of course, Ye Qingqing wouldn't actually make the call; she was just playing along with the old lady.
"Why are you yelling at Qingqing? Your mother is dying, and you're still protecting this slutty widow? Oh... my life is so miserable... what a tragedy..."
The old woman cried and cursed like she was singing a dirge, which quickly attracted the attention of the neighbors, who all gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Ye Zhiguo's face turned even uglier. If word got out that his daughter-in-law had poisoned her mother-in-law, how could he ever save face again?
My spine feels like it's about to be pierced and broken!
"Mom, can we talk inside?" Ye Zhiguo pleaded softly, hoping his mother would do whatever she wanted behind closed doors and give him some face.
The old woman glanced at the neighbors outside the yard and sneered, "Your wife dares to do it, so why can't I say anything?"
Shen Yanhong had come to her senses by this time, and was extremely flustered. How could that old hag have discovered that there was something wrong with the porridge?
She absolutely cannot admit it!
Anyway, rhubarb is similar to vegetables, and it's hard to tell the difference when mixed in with vegetables. The old woman probably doesn't know what kind of medicine she used. As long as she bites it to death, she won't know anything!
"Mom, you've really wronged me! How could I possibly poison you? Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't do such a heinous thing!"
Shen Yanhong shed tears, her face full of grievance.
The neighbors who were watching the commotion outside also shook their heads, thinking that the old lady was being unreasonable. Shen Yanhong had a very good reputation in the alley and was generous, often giving food to her neighbors.
The neighbors in the alley felt much better about Shen Yanhong than they did about the stingy old lady.
The old woman fished a bloody, dead chicken out of a pool of blood and threw it at Shen Yanhong, splattering her with blood and chicken feathers, leaving her in a sorry state.
"If you didn't poison it, how come my chicken died after eating the porridge you cooked? Are you still trying to deny it?"
Looking at the blood and chicken feathers on her body, Shen Yanhong felt nauseous and gagged a few times. She forced herself to hold it in and cried out, "The porridge I cooked was all good. Maybe it was just too hot and the chicken died from the heat!"
Anyway, the chickens ate all the porridge, so all she has to do is bite them to death!
"You slut, you didn't even die from the heat, but my chicken died? You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, will you? Qingqing, bring out that big yellow dog!"
The old lady shouted at Ye Qingqing, who quickly ran into the house.
Shen Yan Hongxin's heart sank to the bottom, her face paled, and she was finally about to lose her composure.
