Chapter 290: Poisoning, Fox and Fox Spirit
Because Shen Zian and Su Zhi brought up the idea of growing sweet potatoes, everyone in Hebian Village, without exception, gave up growing rice and started growing sweet potatoes. Also, because they had water to irrigate the wheat and harvested grain before, no one in every household had starved to death. No matter how much or how little they ate, everyone had food to eat. The same was true for Hua Po's family. They could even eat porridge in the morning, but that was all they could eat.
I only had corn porridge in the morning. How could my stomach get upset and the pain be so severe? It's like I was poisoned.
Su Zhi was puzzled. If she hadn't pressed on Hua Pozi's belly a few times and confirmed that the position was wrong, she would have thought that she had acute appendicitis. But she thought that her complexion was not right. She always felt that Hua Pozi's complexion was a bit like the complexion of Song Dashan and Xiao Ping'er when they were poisoned. Although it was not as serious as those two people, it was also a symptom, just like poisoning.
As Su Zhi was thinking this, Hua Po's words were confirmed.
"I didn't just drink a bowl of corn porridge. I also ate something else. Someone had poisoned it!"
As Mrs. Hua spoke, her voice became a little weak, but she still shouted as loudly as if she had used up all her strength. When these words came out, all the people standing outside the door watching the excitement were startled.
This poisoning is not a big deal. In the countryside, people have been poisoned before. Country people sometimes eat wild game, whether it is plants or animals, and sometimes they will be poisoned. Although it is not a common situation, it has happened before. And there are poisonous snakes here, so poisoning is even more likely to happen. Although everyone is afraid of talking about poison, they are not as surprised as this time, because Hua Pozi said that she was poisoned by someone!
Being poisoned accidentally and being poisoned by someone else are two completely different things!
The people who heard what Hua Pozi said immediately started to think about who the suspect was. Naturally, their eyes followed Hua Pozi's fierce line of sight and saw Wang Huazhi standing beside them. Seeing Wang Huazhi's face turn even paler, they all wondered in their hearts, could the person Hua Pozi was talking about who poisoned the person be Wang Huazhi? !
Su Zhi naturally saw it as well and was very surprised, wondering what was going on.
Wang Huazhi stood there, looking unhappy, but she stood straight and said, "Auntie Hua, you can't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with us!"
"How dare you say it has nothing to do with you? You vixen. You will die a miserable death. Do you think that if you kill me, my son will marry you? I tell you, even if I die, you will never be able to enter our Niu family! You are a woman who brings bad luck to your husband. Don't even think about harming my son!"
Mrs. Hua cursed loudly, and her face became even uglier after the curse. She held her stomach and cried, almost falling off the recliner.
Niu Dabao was originally ashamed and angry, but now he was anxious and frightened. He quickly hugged Hua Pozi and said loudly, "Mom, please stop making trouble. It's important to treat the disease!"
When those who were watching the excitement heard what Grandma Hua said, they all became more excited, thinking that they were going to hear something even more exciting. They didn't expect that Widow Wang in this village was actually related to Niu Dabao! At first, someone had gossiped about them, but they still denied it. Now that Grandma Hua has said so, let's see how they can still deny it! It seems that the village is going to be lively again!
There is not much entertainment in the countryside these days. Gossiping about other people is the best entertainment, especially this kind of romantic affair. It is even more enjoyable to talk about.
Su Zhi usually didn't go far from Wang Huazhi. She had a good impression of this woman and she didn't think there was anything wrong for a widow to remarry. So when she heard about this, she wasn't excited. However, when she heard the noise outside, she knew that this was a big deal in that era. She was worried about Wang Huazhi, thinking that she was now involved in both poisoning and remarrying.
For a woman, these two things are extremely big things. I don’t know if Wang Huazhi can handle it.
Su Zhi glanced at Wang Huazhi and found that although her face was pale, she still stood up straight despite so many people pointing and talking. She felt relieved and nodded in praise. She thought that Wang Huazhi was stronger than Liu Si Niang. Who said that women in the countryside in ancient times were either weak or rude? Aren't there some who are strong and have self-respect?
Tietou was held by Wang Huazhi the whole time, and he was frightened. He was also angry when he heard his mother being scolded. He looked up and saw Su Zhi looking at him. He immediately became anxious when he thought that his mother would be disliked by the fourth aunt whom he had always liked.
"My mother is not a bad person! You, an old woman, are the bad person! You said bad things about my mother, so you are the bad person!"
Tietou was well educated by Wang Huazhi, and he has learned even better these days by being with Xiaori and the others. Even though he was so angry, he didn't say any dirty words, but just called people bad loudly. After glaring at Hua Pozi, he looked at Su Zhi with tearful eyes, as if he wanted Su Zhi to admit that he was right.
Su Zhi has always loved little kids, especially those who are obedient and sensible. Seeing Tietou like this, she felt distressed and thought that the kid must be suffering.
"Auntie Hua, don't worry, you're fine. I'll give you a dose of medicine and you'll be fine."
Su Zhi thought that no matter what happened, it was more important to save people first. Although Hua Pozi didn't seem to be in danger of life for a while, it was better to cure her as soon as possible. In order to prevent Wang Huazhi from being charged with poisoning and murder, she had to cure Hua Pozi.
When Mrs. Hua heard this, she immediately stopped glaring at Wang Huazhi and turned to look at Su Zhi excitedly, saying, "Daughter-in-law Zi'an, please heal me quickly. I don't want to be in pain anymore! If you heal me, you will be my benefactor from now on!"
Niu Dabao was also saying nice things, he didn't know how to say nice things, he just kept saying thank you.
Su Zhi shook her head in her heart, thinking that it was truly a miracle that such a mother could raise such a son.
Su Zhi took out a small bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, handed it over, and said, "This is a new pill I made. Take one. It will probably work."
This pill was made by Su Zhi. She thought there were poisonous snakes here, so she used it as an antidote pill to avoid unexpected situations. She couldn't take out the Lingquan Xianlian immediately. If she encountered an urgent injury, it would be troublesome to boil medicine now. It was the easiest thing to have the pill in hand. She always carried three pills with her to avoid being asked for like rice grains. The more precious something is, the more people will treat it as a treasure.
When Mrs. Hua heard this, she immediately reached out and snatched the pill from Su Zhi's hand, and hurriedly put it into her mouth. She almost choked on it, and had to be patted on the back by Niu Dabao twice before she swallowed it.
Su Zhi completely believed in this pill, and no one could tell her clearly about its power.
Everyone inside and outside the house looked at Grandma Hua, hoping that she would get better soon.
Mrs. Hua did not disappoint. As soon as she swallowed the pill, she felt a coolness all over her body, and then a warmth in her stomach. The severe pain just now seemed to disappear in an instant. Except that she seemed to have no strength, it was as if she had never experienced that pain.
"I'm fine now. It doesn't hurt anymore! Oh! Zi'an, you are really a miracle doctor!"
Mrs. Hua happily grabbed Su Zhi's hand and shook it up and down. She felt that she had done the right thing to swallow her pride and make friends with Su Zhi. Even if Su Zhi's family had no money and she only had this ability to cure diseases, it was still worth it for her to make friends with her!
When the people outside who were watching the excitement heard what Grandma Hua said, they immediately started to discuss Su Zhi's abilities, thinking that the Shen family was really lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law, a woman with a brain that made people want to cut her open to see how she looked, and how she could do everything! She was indeed someone who could attract the holy beast to follow her!
The people in the room were also very excited. If Niu Dabao hadn't considered himself as a man, he would have gone over to grab Su Zhi and thank her. Wang Huazhi also breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes became red as she hugged her son.
"Su Zhi, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
Wang Huazhi bowed to Su Zhi and thanked her. If something really happened to Grandma Hua today, she would be in real trouble. No matter whether what Grandma Hua said was true or not, people would doubt her, and she would not be able to explain herself. She would definitely not be able to live in Hebian Village, and then both she and her son might be doomed, because she had no family to rely on. If she left Hebian Village, she would have nowhere to go, and if she left her son, she would be heartbroken.
Su Zhi supported Wang Huazhi and said, "You're welcome."
Tietou raised his head and said to Su Zhi, "Fourth Auntie, this has nothing to do with my mother. It was Grandma Hua who wrongly accused my mother!"
Mrs. Hua was no longer in pain at this time. She regained her spirits, put her hands on her waist and glared at me, saying, "You little brat! You say I wronged your mother?! Then let me ask you, how come I became like this after your mother and you came to my house? It must be your mother who poisoned my food when I wasn't paying attention! It must be! I tell you, what your mother did this time is a crime! I can sue her! And it just so happens that the county magistrate is here today, I'll go and complain now!"
Hua Pozi made a gesture to go out.
Tietou looked at Wang Huazhi in horror. Seeing his mother's unhappy expression, he looked at Hua Pozi and said, "My mother didn't do anything! She just stood in your yard for a while, and I was beside her! She didn't do anything! You are wrongly accusing my mother!"
When Mrs. Hua saw Tietou blocking her way, she pushed him aside, and ended up knocking Tietou to the ground.
Tietou sat on the ground with red eyes.
"Ironhead! Are you okay?"
When Wang Huazhi saw her son fall, she hurried over to help him up, feeling extremely distressed. This was her only son, and for a widow, her son was her hope. She looked up at Hua Po with an unfriendly look on her face.
