Lin Ye immediately clenched his fists. He had just changed his opinion of his brother-in-law yesterday, and now he was causing trouble. He absolutely could not let his sister be bullied!
Seeing that Lin Ye was furious and afraid that he would lose his temper, Lu Wanqing got up to change her clothes and helped Zhao Xiaolan change into a new dress, making her look dignified and presentable as an elder in the family.
When the time comes, just have Zhao Xiaolan stand there holding Snowball. She doesn't need to say anything. After all, she's an elder, and no matter how noisy it gets, she should still be mindful of the situation.
When Lin Ye arrived at Wang Fugui's house with his mother and wife, the house was already in complete chaos.
The third son, Wang Xiaoqiang, was running around the yard like a madman, while his parents, Wang Tiesheng and Xu Di, chased after him to keep him from getting hurt.
They dared not grab him, for he would scream and yell whenever they touched him.
In the second son's room, Wang Tiegang lay on the bed, his clothes off, revealing several bright red bloodstains on his back, inflicted by his father, Wang Fugui.
Lin Chunhua sat by the bed and applied medicine to his wound, crying as she did so.
The old lady's room wasn't much better. Wang Fugui had injured her second son, and both her son and grandson were in trouble. In a fit of anger, she felt a rush of blood to her head and fainted. Her eldest son's family was currently taking care of her by the bedside.
The team's doctor has come to check on her. The old lady is fine and just needs to wake up. As for Wang Xiaoqiang, there's nothing else that can be done but to leave it to fate. He might just stay insane forever.
Wang Fugui squatted under the eaves, smoking a cigarette, his face full of sorrow.
When Lin Ye and the others came over, Xu Di glared at them resentfully as if she had seen an enemy. If she hadn't been chasing after her son, she would have started arguing with them long ago.
Wang Fugui stood up and immediately saw Zhao Xiaolan, who was dressed elegantly and had a graceful demeanor. He quickly threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stomped on it.
"My mother-in-law is here!" Wang Fugui's expression was extremely unnatural.
While I was smoking just now, I was thinking that when Lin Ye comes over, I'll give him a good scolding and make him take his sister away. It's such a misfortune for the family to have married such a troublemaker.
Upon seeing Zhao Xiaolan, he swallowed his curses and said only, "You're here just in time. Look at what Chunhua has done. You'd better figure out a solution! Otherwise, I won't let this go."
Lin Ye's eyes darkened. What exactly happened?
Lu Wanqing squeezed his hand and stepped forward to speak to Wang Fugui: "Father-in-law, please calm down. There's always a way to resolve this."
As they were talking, Lin Chunhua heard the commotion and came out, quickly leading her mother into her home.
"Sister, what exactly happened?" Lin Ye asked, frowning.
She couldn't believe her sister had done anything heinous, but the fact that her brother-in-law was injured like this and lying in bed, and that there was a mentally unstable child in the yard, made the situation very serious.
As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Tiegang, who was groaning on the bed, and quickly found a sheet to cover his back.
Lin Chunhua looked helpless and recounted what had happened at noon.
It turned out that although Wang Tiegang had delivered the dried porcini mushrooms to Lin Ye yesterday, there were still some at home that hadn't dried completely. Taking advantage of the midday sun and everyone being rested, Lin Chunhua took them to the west-side roof to dry.
Drying things on the roof is a common practice here, and you need a ladder to climb up.
After Lin Chunhua finished drying her things, she removed the ladder. But Wang Xiaoqiang, who was playing by climbing the tree, saw the porcini mushrooms drying in the sun. He actually climbed up the branches to the roof, picked up a porcini mushroom, and started eating it.
“These days, my second uncle and aunt have been acting all mysterious. Turns out they’ve been drying this stuff. It tastes really fresh.” Wang Xiaoqiang said with a smug look on his face as he ate the porcini mushrooms.
The porcini mushrooms, now semi-dried, had lost their odor and tasted soft and fresh, so he couldn't resist eating two slices.
Just as he was feeling smug, he felt his mind becoming increasingly hazy and slid off the roof.
The person wasn't injured, but their mind started to become unclear.
Wang Tiesheng and Xu Di came out of the house when they heard the noise and saw their son laughing and joking, as if he was playing with someone, looking rather silly.
They found a small piece of porcini mushroom in Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, which caused an uproar. They knocked all the porcini mushrooms off the roof and shouted that they wanted to beat Lin Chunhua to death.
After learning what had happened, Lin Chunhua felt a little resentful. "My things were drying perfectly fine on the roof, but who told him to be so playful and greedy!"
Enraged, Xu Di stepped forward and slapped her. "You left poisonous things out there to deliberately poison everyone! You vicious woman! You may dislike the Wang family, but you can't take it out on a child!"
Upon hearing that their grandson had gotten into such trouble, Wang Fugui and Wang Xiuzhi couldn't sit still any longer and joined forces to blame Lin Chunhua.
Wang Xiuzhi, in particular, had been much nicer to Lin Chunhua lately, only to discover that Lin Chunhua had been harboring a venomous snake that had actually harmed her grandson. She immediately retorted angrily, "You vile woman! I've been so good to you, worried you'd be too tired, and we'd all do the work together, yet you've caused all this trouble..."
Wang Tiegang knew that Lin Chunhua was innocent, so he naturally defended her and told everyone to calm down and focus on finding a doctor first.
Unexpectedly, the doctor gave a diagnosis that told the old lady to "seek her own good fortune," which infuriated her so much that she fainted.
This enraged Wang Fugui, who picked up a carrying pole to hit Lin Chunhua. If Wang Tiegang hadn't stopped her, she would be the one lying in bed right now.
Xu Di has already declared that if the Wang family doesn't kick Lin Chunhua out, she will take her son and go back to her parents' home.
Currently, Wang Tiezhu, the eldest son of the Wang family, has a daughter, while Wang Tiegang has no children; his only grandson is Wang Xiaoqiang.
In Wang Fugui's mind, the scales had long since tipped in favor of the third son's family.
He has already decided to divorce his second son's wife!
Lin Chunhua didn't wipe away her tears, but she was still upset. Wang Tiegang had finally turned over a new leaf and was able to earn some money, and then this happened.
In this day and age, if you are kicked out by your husband's family, you don't know how many people will gossip about you behind your back. Besides, her relationship with Wang Tiegang had not broken down, so why did she want a divorce?
Lying in bed, Wang Tiegang's eyes also reddened. He felt that these days had been particularly fulfilling and energetic, and he was full of expectations for the future. He did not want to divorce his wife at all.
"Wife, don't overthink it. I will never divorce you, no matter what. I will stand with you." The two held hands tightly.
Seeing the deep affection between the two, Lu Wanqing was moved. "Sister, don't worry, the toxin in raw porcini mushrooms isn't very strong. Wang Xiaoqiang will be fine soon."
Raw porcini mushrooms contain mild toxins, which can cause hallucinations if consumed; simply drinking a little detoxifying soup will suffice.
At Lu Wanqing's suggestion, Lin Chunhua went to the kitchen, found a bowl of mung beans, and cooked a large pot of soup.
Lu Wanqing brought a bowl of soup to Wang Xiaoqiang, but Xu Di knocked the bowl over, spilling the soup all over the floor.
