"Pearl, go back inside. Let your dad handle this," Wu Meiyun said, looking at Zhao Zhenzhu with disapproval.
Wu Meiyun always taught Zhao Zhenzhu that girls should be virtuous and gentle.
Zhao Zhenzhu had always done it this way before.
Zhao Zhenzhu's kick today shattered Wu Meiyun's illusions.
"Mom, who told him to try to hit me? It was an instinctive reaction, I couldn't stop myself," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a grin.
"You! Let's see how you explain this to Bingchen later." Wu Meiyun stretched out her finger and poked Zhao Zhenzhu's forehead.
After all, Zhou Bingxing was Zhou Bingchen's second elder brother.
Wu Meiyun was afraid that Zhou Bingchen would be unhappy.
"Why should I explain to Zhou Bingchen? I want him to give me an explanation! What kind of family are they? They're all so clueless." Zhao Zhenzhu pouted, unhappy.
"Zhao Zhenzhu, you..." Zhou Bingxing tried to get up twice but failed. Just as he was about to curse Zhao Zhenzhu, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his head lolled to the side and he fainted.
"Pearl, go inside and hide. Leave this to me and your dad!" Wu Meiyun quickly pushed Zhao Pearl into the house.
Wu Meiyun muttered to herself.
When did Pearl become so strong?
Could one kick have made Zhou Bingxing vomit blood?
"Mom, I'm going to check on Zhou Bingxing. He seems a bit off." Zhao Zhenzhu twisted her body, dodging Wu Meiyun's hand, and walked towards Zhou Bingxing.
Zhao Zhenzhu saw it; the blood Zhou Bingxing spat out wasn't bright red, but dark red.
As Zhao Zhenzhu approached, she could smell a faint fishy odor.
"Pearl, the color of his blood is off!" Zhao Qingshan came over and reached out his finger to dip into the blood on the ground to examine it.
"Dad, don't move. It's poisonous." Zhao Zhenzhu hurriedly stopped Zhao Qingshan.
Ding Xiaocui's death made Zhao Zhenzhu wary of the powder in the jar.
Indeed, it's a whole jar of gold bars!
Zhou Fugui couldn't possibly be completely unprepared.
Zhao Zhenzhu suddenly remembered that Zhou Bingxing had bitten the gold bar. If the powder was poisonous, wouldn't Zhou Bingxing biting the gold bar be the same as putting poison into his mouth?
"Zhou Bingxing has been poisoned? Pearl, how did you know?" Zhao Qingshan's expression changed.
"Dad, this is what happened..." Zhao Zhenzhu leaned close to Zhao Qingshan's ear and whispered her guess to him.
Of course, Zhao Zhenzhu didn't mention that the jar of gold bars was in her possession.
She only said that she saw Ding Xiaocui and Zhou Bingxing steal Zhou Fugui's gold bars in the backyard. As a result, Ding Xiaocui was hospitalized that very night due to poisoning.
"Really? If the gold bars were poisonous, why didn't your father-in-law tell Zhou Bingxing?" Zhao Qingshan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Shouldn't poisoning be detected and treated as early as possible?
If Zhou Fugui knew the gold bars were poisoned but remained silent, how was that any different from watching his own son go to his death?
"Who knows? Perhaps in some people's eyes, money is much more important than their son?" Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't understand it either.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Bingxing looks about 80% like Zhou Fugui,
Zhao Zhenzhu was starting to have wild ideas and suspected that Zhou Bingxing was also adopted.
"I'll go to Old Wang's house and borrow a cart. Let's get Zhou Bingxing to the hospital right away," Zhao Qingshan decided immediately.
“Dad, he poisoned himself, what does it have to do with us?” Zhao Zhenzhu said unhappily.
"Who told you to rush? If we don't take him to the hospital, are we going to give him a reason to blame us?" Zhao Qingshan glared at his daughter and said.
Zhao Zhenzhu dared not utter a sound.
Experience is the best teacher. She should just follow his advice.
Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Zhenzhu pulled Zhou Bingxing onto a handcart and hurriedly headed to the hospital.
Zhou Bingxing was shaken awake halfway there.
However, Zhou Bingxing pretended to be unconscious with his eyes closed.
He was beaten by Zhao Zhenzhu today, so he couldn't just let it go unpunished, could he? Although he wasn't in pain except for being a little tired, Zhou Bingxing was still willing to do anything that would cost Zhao Qingshan and the others money.
Both Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Zhenzhu knew that Wang Jing was a skilled doctor. After entering the hospital, Zhao Zhenzhu went to register.
Unable to push the cart into the outpatient hall, Zhao Qingshan had to park it in the courtyard and carry Zhou Bingxing to find Wang Jing.
Wang Jing had just returned from the dean's office and happened to have some free time.
Seeing that Zhao Qingshan was covered in sweat from exhaustion, Wang Jing hurriedly came over to help and lifted Zhou Bingxing onto the hospital bed.
"Hey? Isn't this Ding Xiaocui's family member? Brother Qingshan, do you know them?" Wang Jing asked.
After Zhou Bingxing and Ding Ermei left with the hospital's compensation money, Wang Jing and the others were called in by the hospital director and given a scolding.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingxing returned to the hospital, and Zhao Qingshan brought him in again.
“He is Zhou Bingxing, the second brother of Pearl’s husband, and Ding Xiaocui is Pearl’s sister-in-law. He just came to my house and started spouting nonsense, saying that we should bear some responsibility for Ding Xiaocui’s death. He even hit Pearl, and Pearl, unable to stand it, fought back. This big young man was kicked unconscious by Pearl and even vomited blood.” Zhao Qingshan sighed and told Wang Jing about Zhou Bingxing’s disturbance at their house.
"Brother Qingshan, Pearl's kick was excellent. Without Pearl's kick, his poisonous blood wouldn't have spurted out, and he wouldn't have come to the hospital for treatment. He would have only lived for half a month at most," Wang Jing said after carefully examining Zhou Bingxing.
"What? I've been poisoned?" Zhou Bingxing, no longer able to pretend to be unconscious, quickly sat up from the hospital bed.
“Yes, you and your wife Ding Xiaocui were poisoned by the same kind of poison,” Wang Jing said.
"Doctor, doctor, please save me! I don't want to die!" Zhou Bingxing knelt down before Wang Jing with a thud.
Ding Xiaocui's poison took effect very quickly, and Zhou Bingxing never wanted to have such a day happen to him.
