The man was so happy to hear this that he brought his baby son home that same day.
In the following month, the wife of the first wife really treated the man's youngest son as her own, which made the man work harder in bed.
Until a month later.
That day, the weather was particularly hot, and the wife of the first wife took her three daughters to eat watermelon in the pavilion.
The man saw that the four of them, mother and daughter, were eating alone and didn't call his beloved son. He angrily walked up to the wife and started scolding her.
The wife of the main house smiled and took out half a cool watermelon from under the table and handed it to him without saying a word. She also told him that the heart of the watermelon was the sweetest and that good things must be given to her good son.
When the man saw that the four of them, mother and daughter, only got half of the watermelon and left most of it for his son, his anger instantly dissipated and he happily went to find his son, holding half the watermelon.
The man really loved his son and took his wife's words to heart. He took out all the watermelon and fed it to his son, and only ate the leftovers himself.
Who would have thought that when my baby son was halfway through eating the watermelon, he started to cry out in pain in his stomach and soon lost consciousness.
The man shouted for a doctor.
When the doctor arrived, the child had already died.
Upon learning that the child had died of poisoning, the man was furious and went to seek revenge from his wife.
The wife of the first house cried out that she was wronged!
Everyone ate the watermelon and everyone else was fine, so why was his son the only one who was poisoned?
Besides, the man took away half of the watermelon, didn’t he eat it himself?
Although the man had doubts in his heart, he had no evidence and had to endure it in the end.
From then on, the man's health took a turn for the worse, and within two months he was bedridden.
It was not until his death that his wife whispered in his ear the real cause of his son's death - the watermelon core was soaked in oleander juice!
The reason why the man's health collapsed so quickly was because the chopsticks he used to eat were also dipped in oleander juice by her, but the dosage was smaller each time...
Liu Jiajia was inspired by the story of Old Lady Liu, and remembered that when she came to the compound, there was oleander growing at the gate of a nearby yard, which gave her the idea.
Her original intention was just to make Yi Rushen miscarry without anyone knowing, but she didn't expect that oleander was so toxic that a failure to control the dosage would lead to disastrous consequences.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world!
Although Yi Ru was rescued in the end, she could not escape the blame and had to spend the rest of her life in prison.
When the news reached Hai City, Yu Lei received their divorce certificate on the same day. Thanks to the fact that the procedures in that era were not as rigorous as those in later generations, the divorce certificate was handed to her before Liu Jiajia was sentenced.
Liu Jiajia never thought that Su Gan would be so cruel as to divorce her!
Thinking back on the time they met until now, her behavior, her noise, all her unreasonable demands, and her combination of soft and hard tactics, coaxing and deceiving, the man seemed to have accepted them all by default.
She thought she had this man under control until she saw the divorce certificate in her hand. Then she suddenly realized that no one is anyone's appendage. People are independent from beginning to end. It was all because she thought she was right and didn't understand the situation clearly!
In the blink of an eye, the summer heat gradually dissipated and the holiday lasting more than a month was about to end.
When Lan Guoer woke up early in the morning, she heard Tang's mother and Old Lady Lan talking outside the yard.
"The children have been gone for forty or fifty days. They are still so young. Don't forget me, an old woman, when they come back!"
"Just put your mind at ease!" Old Lady Lan shook her head indifferently.
"Those three little brats in our family are so smart that they remember everything from when they were one year old. You raised them since they were young. Even if they forget their parents, they will never forget you as their grandmother!"
Mother Tang's eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of her lips raised high, as if she was comforted by Mrs. Lan's words.
"I just miss them! Especially in the past few days, I dreamed of Xiao Nuan crying in my ear that she wanted to eat the meat buns I made. I don't know if they eat well every day. Practicing martial arts is very physically demanding. The children are in the growth stage, so I hope they don't get too tired and become thin!"
"We all know this. Guo'er's master is a hermit, how could he not know? Don't worry, your eldest grandson won't be in trouble!"
Old Madam Lan naturally missed her three well-behaved and clever great-grandchildren, but she was obviously much more open-minded.
Bored, Xiaobai squatted at Old Lady Lan's feet, his eyelids opening and closing, as if he had already fallen asleep.
Suddenly, it stood up abruptly, its ears erect, and its eyes looked out the door vigilantly.
Old Madam Lan was so frightened by him that she shuddered and glanced at him with her eyes lowered. "You little furry boy, you scared me with your sudden movements!"
As she spoke, she smoothed the hair on his forehead and followed his gaze toward the door. "What's going on? Who's visiting so early in the morning?"
Xiaobai tilted his head, his eyes flashing, as if he had finally confirmed something. He howled, "Ah!" and jumped out of the door, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Before Tang's mother could react, the furry child had disappeared.
"This Xiaobai, is he crazy today? He's not afraid of scaring someone when he goes out! I'll put a leash on him when I come back!"
Tang's mother threw away the leeks she had not finished picking, wiped her hands on her apron, and started to chase after him.
"Grandpa, grandma, great-grandma, mom, auntie..."
At this time, the triplets' calls for milk came from outside the door. Tang's mother and Old Man Lan looked at each other and were both stunned.
They immediately reacted, took a step forward, and hurried towards the door.
"Oh my, it really doesn't work! If I had known that chanting was so effective, I would have chanted it eight hundred times a day! My darling grandchildren are finally back!"
Before she even saw anyone, Tang's mother was already grinning from ear to ear, chattering non-stop as she trotted.
When Lan Guoer heard the children's shouts, she rushed out without even wiping her face dry. She wiped it twice with her hands while running and hurried to greet them.
These little balls with a sweet and savory taste are going on a long journey for the first time, and they will be away for such a long time. As a mother, she would be lying if she said she didn’t miss them!
But she was still a step too late.
At the gate, the three children were already being held tightly in the arms of Tang's mother, Old Madam Lan, and Grandma Yi.
The old ladies all had tears in their eyes. It was clearly a reunion, but it felt like a farewell!
Standing nearby with a fierce look on their faces were Old Man Tang, Uncle Yi, Qinghe, and a wolf that was so anxious that it stood straight on its two legs.
"Oh, old woman, why are you crying on such a happy day? Come on, let me hold my granddaughter."
Old man Tang stretched out his hands and looked at the well-behaved granddaughter in Tang's mother's arms with a loving face, eager to try.
