"What's wrong with Xiao Cui?" Ding Ermei asked anxiously, and quickly strode into the second room.
"Mom, hurry up and give me the money! Xiao Cui seems to have been poisoned; she needs to go to the hospital immediately," Zhou Bingxing said.
"Poisoned? You little brat, you're not trying to scam me out of money again, are you?" Ding Ermei didn't believe it.
The Zhou family had a rather lavish dinner tonight.
A large rooster weighed four or five pounds, and Ding Ermei added several pounds of chestnuts to stew it, resulting in a pot that was more than half full.
The whole family ate everything.
If there's something wrong with dinner, Ding Xiaocui won't be the only one poisoned!
Ding Ermei herself thinks she's doing great!
"Mom, I'm not lying to you, Xiao Cui is really not well. Please give me the money quickly! It will be too late if you wait any longer." Zhou Bingxing was so anxious that he was almost crying.
Ding Ermei remained unmoved.
Zhou Bingxing has a long history of bad behavior. He has done things like faking a sprained ankle or a stomachache in order to swindle money from Ding Ermei.
At first, Ding Ermei readily paid. Later, after being scammed several times, she learned her lesson. She would never pay unless she saw the actual illness.
When Ding Ermei entered the room, Ding Xiaocui drooled and mumbled, "Mom."
In just a short while, Ding Xiaocui's lips swelled up, and her tongue became somewhat unresponsive.
Seeing Ding Xiaocui's appearance, Ding Ermei was startled.
"Bingxing, Bingxing, hurry up! Take Xiaocui to the hospital in town, Mom will go with you," Ding Ermei shouted.
After a chaotic scene, Ding Ermei and everyone from the second wife's family rushed to the hospital.
The Zhou family then returned to peace.
After being woken up from her sleep, Chen Jinfeng wanted Zhou Bingqiang to go out and see what had happened in the second wife's house.
I stretched out my leg and reached around, only to find nothing.
"Zhou Bingqiang?" Chen Jinfeng called out, but did not hear Zhou Bingqiang answer.
"Where could she have gone in the middle of the night?" Chen Jinfeng muttered.
Just as Chen Jinfeng was about to get up, Zhou Bingxing and Ding Ermei had already left.
Never mind, I'll go to the hospital to see Ding Xiaocui again tomorrow!
After having this thought in her mind, Chen Jinfeng couldn't resist the invasion of sleep, her head tilted to the side, and she fell asleep again.
Zhao Zhenzhu lay in bed, listening to the noise outside, and almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Ding Xiaocui was poisoned?
Could it be that Zhou Fugui's gold bars are poisonous?
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't contain herself and flashed into the space.
Zhao Zhenzhu could hear the sounds outside from inside the room. Even if Zhou Bingchen suddenly returned, Zhao Zhenzhu was confident that she could instantly appear on the bed the moment Zhou Bingchen opened the door.
That's right, the jar that Zhou Bingxing couldn't find anywhere was taken by Zhao Zhenzhu.
Standing at the back window, Zhao Zhenzhu saw Zhou Bingxing and Ding Xiaocui dig out the jar and immediately used spatial teleportation to leave.
Originally, Zhao Zhenzhu planned to take the jar away after Zhou Bingxing and Ding Xiaocui left.
Unexpectedly, Ding Xiaocui suddenly tripped and fell.
Zhao Zhenzhu was too lazy to wait any longer. While Zhou Bingxing and Ding Xiaocui were looking for gold bars, Zhao Zhenzhu put the jar into her spatial storage.
The jar weighed only about twenty pounds. Zhao Zhenzhu didn't touch it; she collected it directly with her mind.
After collecting the jar, Zhao Zhenzhu teleported back to her room.
Zhao Zhenzhu deliberately dropped the lid of that jar.
The purpose was to make Zhou Fugui and his son Zhou Bingxing fight like dogs.
Regardless of whether things develop as you imagine, it's still necessary to lay the groundwork for future events.
When Zhao Zhenzhu entered the space, the jar was placed on the ground not far from the "withered tree branch." The mouth of the jar was still open.
For safety reasons, Zhao Zhenzhu put on a mask and gloves before getting closer to look.
The jar was plain and unremarkable, the kind used by ordinary farmers to pickle sauerkraut. It had a layer of mud on the outside, making it look a bit dirty.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't care and stuck her head out to look at the gold bars in the jar.
The color of the gold bar seems a bit off.
Zhao Zhenzhu's dowry also included gold bars, which were bright yellow and pleasing to the eye.
The gold bars in the jar were somewhat dull in color, with a layer of light gray powder on them.
Could this powder be poison?
Whoever steals the gold bars, Zhou Fugui will poison them.
Zhao Zhenzhu clicked her tongue in amazement.
Zhou Fugui is truly ruthless. He'd even sacrifice his own son for gold bars?
Zhao Zhenzhu wanted to get the contents of the jar out to see what it was, but she was afraid that the powder was highly toxic.
Just as I was struggling with this decision, I heard light footsteps outside.
It was Zhou Bingchen's footsteps; he was back.
Zhao Zhenzhu quickly took off her gloves and mask, and in a flash, appeared on the bed.
When Zhou Bingchen pushed open the door, Zhao Zhenzhu had already used her mind to put the jar in the space into a tightly sealed box.
Zhao Zhenzhu decided to leave it for the time being.
The space had everything; Zhao Zhenzhu lacked nothing. Whether or not this jar of gold bars existed would have no impact on Zhao Zhenzhu's life.
She should wait and see how Ding Xiaocui's poisoning goes before deciding what to do with the gold bars.
After gently bolting the door, Zhou Bingchen quietly got into bed.
"Bingchen~! Did you just go to the restroom outside?" Zhao Zhenzhu suddenly spoke, startling Zhou Bingchen.
"Yeah, I might have eaten a bit too much for dinner, my stomach's a little upset," Zhou Bingchen admitted.
"Zhou Bingxing just said that Ding Xiaocui was poisoned, and that Mom and the second branch of the family took Ding Xiaocui to the hospital. Did you hear that?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
"No," Zhou Bingchen said after a moment of silence.
For some reason, Zhou Bingchen felt that Zhao Zhenzhu seemed to know that he hadn't gone to the toilet, but had gone out.
What Zhao Zhenzhu just said didn't sound like casual conversation; it sounded more like she was trying to remind Zhou Bingchen and pass on a message to him.
"Pearl..." Thinking of this, Zhou Bingchen was about to explain to Zhao Zhenzhu what he had been doing tonight.
"We can talk about it tomorrow. I was just woken up by Ding Xiaocui's screams, and I'm still sleepy!" Zhao Zhenzhu muttered, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Zhou Bingchen had no choice but to shut up.
Zhou Bingchen lay in bed, unable to fall asleep, his mind filled with the scene he had witnessed with Zhou Fugui not long ago.
After leaving the brigade headquarters, Zhou Fugui did not go home, but went to Zhou Dazhu's house instead.
Just like in Zhou Bingchen's dream, after Zhou Fugui knocked on the door, Zhou Dazhu opened it.
Zhou Fugui directly said he wanted to find Tian Shanhua.
"Uncle Fugui, look at the time! My mom went to bed early. If you're looking for her, come back tomorrow during the day." Zhou Dazhu was furious.
"Captain, your mother sent someone to call me. It's urgent. I can't wait until tomorrow," Zhou Fugui said.
"Then you wait here, I'll go ask my mother." Zhou Dazhu said this, then closed the door and went to question Tian Shanhua.
Zhou Fugui wasn't angry. He stood outside the door, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
Not long after, Zhou Dazhu came out.
