Chapter 70 Walnut Juice

Mrs. Ji immediately took out all the remaining green beans from last year.

"My dear, do you have any idea?"

"Let's give it a try." Shen Ruoqing turned and went into the kitchen, took out the licorice from the space, and used spiritual spring water to cook a large pot of mung bean and licorice soup.

After finishing, Shen Ruoqing was in a dilemma. How should he feed the piglets the mung bean and licorice soup?

Unexpectedly, Shen Ruoqing didn't need to think of any solution. The piglets smelled the spiritual spring water and started to drink it slowly on their own. After a while, all ten piglets had finished all the mung bean and licorice soup.

After drinking the soup, the piglets still looked listless and without energy, but they were much better than before.

"My dear, is this all?" Old Mrs. Ji looked at him in disbelief.

Shen Ruoqing shook his head: "I can only do my best. I don't know how much walnut peel water the piglets drank. The rest depends on the piglets themselves."

Shen Ruoqing was also worried. The piglets had only been raised for a few days when something like this happened. If the piglets couldn't survive, then the third brother's position as a tractor driver would definitely be taken away. And their family would definitely be in trouble.

Who did this? Their family was too ostentatious. Ten piglets would surely attract envy.

"Mom, didn't you see any suspicious people today?"

Old Mrs. Ji shook her head. "Everyone went to work, so they had no time to look after the piglets. When I came back, I found the door had been pried open, and then I found that the piglets had become like this. San Ya has already gone to find the team leader."

As he was speaking, Captain Tang had already arrived.

"I heard someone poisoned your piglets. What's going on?"

Old Mrs. Ji immediately stepped forward and explained the matter.

Captain Tang's veins almost popped out when he heard this.

"Aunt Ji, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly." Captain Tang immediately went back to check for those who did not go to work or were missing during that time period.

When Captain Tang found out, he found out that three people were missing during this period of time.

One was Aunt Qi. She said she had a stomachache while at work and had been missing for a while.

One of them was Skinny Monkey, who also disappeared for a while using the excuse of going to the toilet. No one paid much attention to it because Skinny Monkey often used this excuse to shirk his responsibilities.

Another one is Fu Ergou, a second-rate guy in the village. He idles around all day and does not participate in the team's work.

Shen Ruoqing first set his sights on Aunt Qi, because Aunt Qi was the person who most strongly opposed the Shen family's position as tractor drivers, and was also the person most likely to poison.

"Why are you staring at me like that, you dead girl? I didn't do this. I just had a stomachache and went home to use the toilet. As for poisoning as you mentioned, I wouldn't dare to do it. I think your family is too ostentatious, which has attracted others to poison your house. Otherwise, why would they poison your house instead of others?" Aunt Qi was full of energy and didn't look guilty.

"Aunt Ji, I have no grudge against your family, so there is no need for me to poison your house." said the skinny monkey.

"What are you looking at? Why did you call me here? I'm going to sleep at home today! I don't care about your nonsense. I'm going back!" Fu Ergou looked impatient.

"Captain Tang, let them stretch out their hands for everyone to see." Shen Ruoqing said after thinking for a while.

"Let me show you! I want to see what you can figure out." Aunt Qi stretched out her hands generously, letting everyone see her hands covered with thick calluses.

The skinny monkey also stretched out his hands.

Finally it was Fu Ergou's turn. Fu Ergou looked fierce and said, "Why do you suspect I'm the criminal? What can you conclude by looking at my hands? Don't be fooled by this little kid!"

"Fu Ergou, since you have no problems, just stretch out your hand for everyone to see, and then you can go back." Captain Tang said, and Fu Ergou reluctantly stretched out his hand.

"It's him! He is the one who harmed my piglets!" Shen Ruoqing pointed at Fu Ergou.

"You damn girl, stop slandering me! Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it? I don't have anything on me!"

Shen Ruoqing stared at Fu Ergou: "The juice of walnut skin has a dyeing effect. The skin it touches will turn black and yellow. You obviously didn't wear gloves when you poisoned, and your hands touched the walnut juice. Look at Fu Ergou's hands, some areas have obviously turned black and yellow. Other people's hands are not like this. For example, Aunt Qi's hands are originally a little black and yellow."

"Just based on this, you conclude that I was the one who poisoned your pigs? I got something dirty while doing my work! I didn't get walnut juice." Fu Ergou refused to admit it. Anyway, no one saw him do it at the time. As long as he bit the bullet and didn't admit it, what could these people do to him?

"Look, you still have this walnut shell in your pocket!"

Shen Ruoqing pointed, and Fu Ergou subconsciously shouted: "Impossible, I clearly threw all those things away..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Fu Ergou with strange eyes.

Fu Ergou realized that he had said something wrong and became angry: "You damn girl, how dare you cheat me..."

As he said this, he was about to hit Shen Ruoqing, but was stopped by Shen Ruoqing's second brother.

"At this point, what else do you have to argue about?"

But no matter how they pressed him, Fu Ergou refused to admit that someone had instructed him to do so. He just said that he couldn't stand Mrs. Ji's arrogance.

In the end, Fu Ergou was taken away by Captain Tang.

Shen Ruoqing went back to see the piglet, but the piglet still refused to eat, which made her very worried. Fortunately, the piglet still drank the spiritual spring water. After feeding it some spiritual spring water, Shen Ruoqing had no other choice but to go to sleep.

The next day, the piglets seemed to have survived and actually started to eat. Shen Ruoqing was very happy about this discovery, and she thought it was the effect of the spiritual spring water.

Captain Tang was relieved to learn that the Shen family's piglets were all fine. Now their team's tractor was saved. However, since the piglets were all fine, Fu Ergou could not be sentenced too severely. In the end, Fu Ergou was sentenced to work on the farm for six months.

Being sent to a farm now is not just about hard labor, it also concerns one's own reputation. Basically, if you have been sent to work on a farm, your future is over. You will not be able to get a job in the future. But this does not seem to matter to Fu Ergou, because he is just a second-rate person and does not care about his reputation at all.

What worries Shen Ruoqing is that she always feels that the person behind this is definitely not Fu Ergou, but Fu Ergou must be instructed by someone. But she doesn't know who this person is.

The incident of Fu Ergou had frightened the people in the village to a certain extent, and no one would dare to take the risk to do harm to their family. However, the Shen family still cared more about the ten piglets, and Shen Ruoqing even changed the lock to a lock bought from the system mall, fearing that such a similar thing would happen again.
