Chapter 320 Mid-Autumn Festival
Seeing Feng Gang's suspicious look, Wei Yang felt that his face was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
"The doctor couldn't say what was wrong with them either, but we can't believe those baseless rumors. The whole family is fine for now; they probably just ate something wrong."
Eating something bad was an acceptable reason for Feng Gang, but he was still a little worried. "I think it was because she ate the wrong mushrooms. The people living next door to Yu Fu's house all said that they saw Cheng Guizhi carrying a lot of mushrooms back home this afternoon."
"We can't believe in superstitions and supernatural phenomena! Everything must be based on scientific evidence."
Seeing the expression on his face as he tried to convince himself, Wei Yang chuckled inwardly, but nodded seriously on the surface, "You're right, everything must be based on scientific evidence."
Wei Yang deliberately lowered his voice and said, "But things aren't always easy to say about his family. I've heard a lot of old stories about them, and you've probably heard even more than I have, Brother Feng. I won't tell you to scare you, but let me tell you, people still shouldn't do anything that goes against their conscience..."
Feng Gang was taken aback. He wanted to ask Wei Yang what wrong Yu Fu had done, but he also felt that Wei Yang was making a veiled attack.
"Xiao Wei, I told you to believe in science, how come you've become superstitious? You can't have that kind of thinking."
Wei Yang chuckled lightly; they both knew who was superstitious.
Feng Gang has lived for so long and has heard many ghost stories; otherwise, he wouldn't be so scared at night that he can't sleep.
In his eyes, Yu Fu looked like he was possessed by some evil spirit.
He had indeed done a lot of things against his conscience in the past few months, and after Wei Yang said that, he felt like he had cat claws scratching at his heart.
In a hospital ward in the city.
Cheng Guizhi was the first to regain consciousness.
Cheng Guizhi looked on in bewilderment as Yu Fu, who was so weak from diarrhea that he was on the verge of collapse, weakly entered the ward.
How did we end up here?
Supported by Lao Yang, Yu Fu was like a lost soul. He didn't hear Cheng Guizhi's words. After getting into the hospital bed, he lay down straight without closing his eyes, which looked quite frightening.
When Old Yang saw that she was awake, he carefully recounted what had happened yesterday.
"I'll go get the doctor."
Old Yang went out, and Cheng Guizhi let out a cry and ran to her son's bedside, calling her two sons' names over and over again.
Yu Youzhi was indeed woken up by her.
The child, still half-asleep, said, "Mommy, I'm hungry."
Cheng Guizhi patted her chest in relief, and seeing that one of the children had woken up, she felt that the problem wasn't too serious.
After the doctor followed Lao Yang in, he began to carefully ask Cheng Guizhi what her family had eaten the day before.
Cheng Guizhi's stomach was still making some gurgling sounds, and she touched her stomach as she began to recall.
Her memory only extends to waiting for Miao Feng at the entrance of the farm after dinner; she remembers nothing else.
The doctor had already suspected that the family had eaten poisonous mushrooms, so upon hearing this, he specifically asked Cheng Guizhi what the mushrooms she had picked looked like.
After the doctor has clarified the situation, he must report it to the health department to prevent future cases of poisoning from eating poisonous mushrooms.
While Cheng Guizhi was talking to the doctor, Yu Fu sat up and vomited a lot of acidic fluid.
Old Yang was already used to this kind of situation.
It's been a whole night, and Yu Fu has been vomiting and having diarrhea, emptying his stomach completely. Now he's only vomiting and passing acidic fluid.
"Doctor, when will my husband get better?"
The doctor said it was hard to say and couldn't give her a guarantee.
Cheng Guizhi clutched the bedsheet, fearing something might happen to her husband.
Thinking back to yesterday's stir-fried mushrooms, she left quite a lot for her man.
Cheng Guizhi felt extremely distressed, but she was also afraid that Yu Fu would scold her after he regained consciousness.
After Cheng Guizhi's family was poisoned, the 16th Regiment issued an order prohibiting the picking and consumption of unfamiliar mushrooms.
From the regimental headquarters down to the companies below, every company was notified and informed.
Cheng Guizhi's family spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the hospital.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the farm slaughtered a pig, and Song Lubai, being in a good position, managed to snag half a pound of meat.
Although fatty meat is oily, Song Lubai thinks it doesn't taste as good as lean meat.
There were quite a few dried wild mushrooms at home. Although Cheng Guizhi's family had learned their lesson, it didn't stop Song Lubai from soaking the dried mushrooms and stir-frying them with meat.
She didn't know what the poisonous mushrooms Cheng Guizhi's family ate looked like, but the mushrooms she dried were safe for everyone to eat, and she had only picked this one variety when she picked them.
The moon in the sky was big and round, and the family sat in the courtyard eating and talking.
The weather has turned noticeably colder; you'll need a jacket in the mornings and evenings, but the temperature is pleasant at midday, so a long-sleeved shirt is enough.
The melons I brought home in August and stored there haven't spoiled yet. They smell amazing when you cut them open, and they're cool and sweet when you eat them.
Shicheng Second Branch Farm, First Company.
The Liu family is also having a big reunion today.
For more than a year, the men of the Liu family had behaved well, so they were granted a half-day off to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The managers weren't worried about them running away, because their families were in the same unit. Where would they go if they ran away?
There were four dishes and a soup on the table at Song Lubai's house: stir-fried mushrooms with meat, scallions and eggs, stir-fried spinach, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and yellow croaker and kelp soup. The rice was steamed sweet potato and mixed grain rice.
The food at Old Liu's house wasn't as good today; there was only a pot of boiled wild vegetables on the table.
Compared to the 16th Regiment in southern Xinjiang, the disturbance in Shicheng was much larger and had a greater impact on everyone's lives.
The Liu family is mostly made up of women, and when people in the brigade heard that the men in their family had committed crimes, the Liu family naturally became the target of bullying.
Since settling in Erfenchang, Xinjiang Province, the Liu family has not actually had a good life.
Previously, after Liu Mei's sister-in-law was arrested in Shicheng, she implicated a string of people, and all of them suffered misfortune. After the people in the company found out about this, life became even more difficult for the Liu family in the company.
On the day of their reunion, Old Lady Liu hugged her son and husband and cried.
Liu Mei was also granted special permission to return home for the Mid-Autumn Festival today.
However, compared to the men who come home, she is the unwelcome one.
During meals, her second sister-in-law wouldn't even give her chopsticks.
Liu Mei wasn't one to take things lying down; if her second sister-in-law wouldn't give her any, she would take it herself.
After getting the chopsticks, she ignored everyone else catching up and started eating her mixed grain buns and vegetables.
Liu Ersao was talking to her husband when she saw Liu Mei like this. She said in a shrill voice, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. How dare you eat? Who let you come back today?"
Lin Shuhong beat them up last year, and after Lin Shuhong left, they could only blame Liu Mei for it.
If it weren't for Liu Mei's terrible idea, her family wouldn't be living like this!
Liu Mei slammed down her chopsticks and grabbed her second sister-in-law by the hair, slapping her several times.
If you don't welcome her, fine! Then nobody can have a good Mid-Autumn Festival today.
From the moment she returned, no one in the entire house, young or old, spoke a single word to her; they all looked at her with hatred.
She hadn't forgotten how good she was to her family when she married into the city, and how they all fawned over her.
