"Don't pretend to be kind. What if the stuff you're making is poisoned?" Xu Di said rudely.
Lu Wanqing wasn't annoyed. "I studied traditional Chinese medicine with my grandfather for a few years. The wild mushrooms that Xiaoqiang accidentally ate did contain mild toxins. If he drinks the mung bean soup I made, it can detoxify him. If he continues to cause trouble like this, the toxins will enter his brain and then he will be beyond saving."
She was talking in a strange way, but she wanted Wang Xiaoqiang to come to his senses as soon as possible so that they could resolve the matter.
Xu Di, however, still had a contorted face, completely ignoring her words. "Lu Wanqing, stop trying to fool me. You just want Xiaoqiang to become an idiot so that Lin Chunhua, that barren hen, can turn around and laugh at me."
She just assumes everyone else is as despicable as she is, based on her own thoughts.
"Then you just wait, Xiaoqiang will be digging in the mud and eating it soon." Lu Wanqing crossed her arms.
Actually, she was giving Wang Xiaoqiang a hint.
Sure enough, the next second, six-year-old Wang Xiaoqiang sat down on the ground, dug at the dirt with his hands, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. The mud mixed with rotten leaves filled his mouth completely, making him look extremely disgusting.
"My son! What's wrong with you?" Xu Di knelt beside him, trying to stop him, but this only made him scream and roll on the ground.
Wang Tiesheng, standing to the side, was at a loss and weakly said to his wife, "Why don't you try drinking some mung bean soup?"
“Drink it if you want! I think they’re just trying to poison Xiaoqiang!” Xu Di said stubbornly, but she had actually given in.
Wang Tiesheng hurriedly ladled out a bowl of mung bean soup for himself, gulped down a mouthful first, then grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang's face and poured it into his mouth.
The mung bean soup was sweet and delicious; Wang Xiaoqiang drank one bowl and wanted more.
He drank several bowls of wine in a row. When he finally sobered up, he found himself sitting on the ground, covered in mud. He asked curiously, "Mom, why am I sitting on the ground? Why are you crying?"
When Xu Di realized he was better, she rushed over and hugged him tightly, bursting into tears until Wang Xiaoqiang pushed her away in disgust.
After discovering that he had gone mad and started eating mud because he had accidentally eaten wild mushrooms, he pointed at Lin Chunhua's nose and cursed, "It's all your fault, you wicked woman! I'm going to sue you!"
As she spoke, she ran and snuggled into Wang Fugui's arms, seeking refuge.
Like mother, like son; he's already mastered the skill of turning the tables without even being taught.
Xu Di was very pleased. It was her turn to put her hands in her pockets and watch the show. This time, she was determined not to let Lin Chunhua get away with it.
It's not impossible that she was arrested and put in jail for poisoning food!
Lin Chunhua was furious. She had painstakingly cooked mung bean soup, hoping he would wake up soon. She thought that once he woke up, he would admit that he shouldn't have stolen other people's food, and the matter would be resolved. Unexpectedly, her situation became even more difficult.
Wang Fugui stroked his grandson's hair and promised to give him an explanation.
At this moment, a soft cough was heard outside the courtyard gate, and then Wang Xingfa, the captain of the Wang family brigade, walked in with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he had heard about Wang Fugui's family situation long ago, but because he was the eldest son's father-in-law, he couldn't interfere in many things.
By this time, more and more people were gathering outside the courtyard, and as the team leader, he had no choice but to step in.
Wang Fugui stepped forward and grabbed his in-law's hand, urging him to uphold justice and drive the wicked Lin Chunhua out of the Wang family.
Lin Ye was so angry that his teeth itched. He immediately stood next to Wang Xingfa, his tall figure giving people an invisible pressure.
“My dear in-law, I have a general understanding of the matter. We are all relatives, so let’s sit down and talk things over!” Wang Xingfa said.
Lin Ye's fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking; he was genuinely a little intimidated.
Originally, her daughter Li Mei had complained to her several times that Lin Chunhua was now taking advantage of her family's influence and was no longer willing to work hard at home, forcing her to do chores and exhausting her.
If I get the chance, I'll definitely teach Lin Chunhua a lesson.
This time, Lin Chunhua finally has something on her hands, so we can't let her go easily.
But as soon as he saw Lin Ye, half of his confidence vanished. Why was that?
Wang Fugui invited Wang Xingfa to sit down, and then called out Li Mei to make tea for her own father.
“My dear in-law, the third son’s family has been wronged this time, and I have to give them an explanation! I only have one grandson, and he almost went crazy. I was thinking, why don’t we let the second son get a divorce? Lin Chunhua, that troublemaker, will only bring misfortune to the family sooner or later!” After Wang Xingfa took a sip of tea, Wang Fugui revealed his thoughts with a sly look on his face.
Lin Ye clenched his fists: "Who are you calling a menace?"
If it weren't for the fact that he's an elder, I would have punched him in the face long ago. He's so biased; no wonder my sister used to live in constant fear.
So, she shouldn't have her own ideas, and should be bullied like a puppet until they are satisfied.
Lin Ye didn't think his sister couldn't get a divorce, but he would never agree to be humiliated in this way.
Wang Xingfa glared at Lin Ye and said condescendingly, "What are you yelling about? When elders are speaking, juniors shouldn't interrupt. I'm just trying to find a solution."
What an arrogant official! Lu Wanqing wants to see what kind of justice he can uphold.
Two elderly people, both over fifty, sat together drinking tea and whispering for a long time before finally reaching a conclusion.
"How about this, let's not say anything discouraging like getting the second son divorced. Let Lin Chunhua apologize to the third son's family and pay them 100 yuan in compensation," Wang Xingfa said.
Wang Fugui nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, then turned to look for Xu Di and his grandson.
Upon hearing that she could receive 100 yuan in compensation, Xu Di grinned from ear to ear, "Captain Wang is indeed selfless and impartial. We won't make things difficult for Chunhua, after all, she's my sister-in-law."
Over there, Wang Tiegang, supported by Lin Chunhua, struggled to walk out. He endured the pain and said, "Make us pay? Impossible!"
Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing clasped hands together and squeezed them, both saying firmly, "My sister won't pay any money!"
"If you don't pay compensation, I'll report you to the police! I'll send Lin Chunhua to jail!" Xu Di shouted. This is really too much of a bully. They almost made the child stupid, and they're still so arrogant.
Do you really think she's soft-hearted and easy to bully?
She believed that not only would the captain stand by her side, but the onlookers who were just watching the spectacle would also stand by her side!
At this moment, a woman from the crowd who usually had a good relationship with Lin Chunhua popped her head out and asked, feigning ignorance, "Third brother's wife, how exactly did Xiaoqiang get poisoned? If the police ask, I wonder what they'll say if he got poisoned from eating something he stole?"
Her words immediately drew laughter. Xu Di usually looked down on people because she came from the county town and her family was wealthy. She considered herself superior and looked down on everyone. So, naturally, not many people spoke up for her at this time.
Xu Di was furious. Her son had been wronged and ridiculed, all because of Lin Chunhua.
Thinking this, she rushed towards Lin Chunhua without regard for anything else...
