"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it... Sister, go in peace, I'll come to find you soon."
Li Yun suddenly thought of a possibility: that his cousin didn't actually want to die a gluttonous ghost, but that she had fallen in love with Yang Lu.
Judging from the look in her eyes, I should have realized it sooner.
Ah, the simplest way to love someone is probably to eat a bite of something they offer you before you die.
The people around her were all staring at Li Xiaodan speechlessly; this woman had actually believed his nonsense.
This is just a sweet potato that can fill your stomach, not some kind of magic cure.
"ah……"
Just as Li Xiaodan finished eating the taro, she suddenly let out a wail.
"Sister, what's wrong? Don't scare me... Before I die, I have a secret I haven't told you yet. I stole all your gold jewelry. I was wrong."
Upon seeing Li Xiaodan scream, Li Yun turned pale with fright.
It's obvious they were already on the verge of death from poisoning, and now they've eaten such dry food—who could stand that?!
Knowing that she would soon follow her cousin in death, Li Yun decided to reveal the secret buried deep in her heart.
As the saying goes, a dying man's words are kind, and a dying bird's song is mournful.
Before her grandmother passed away, she gave her a lot of her gold jewelry.
I couldn't accept it at the time, so I took advantage of a dark and windy night and stole all the gold jewelry.
After stealing it, I didn't get a good night's sleep, because my grandmother's image would often appear in my mind as soon as I closed my eyes.
Now, in order to find redemption in her heart, she decided to speak out.
"It seems she's going to leave us first."
"Believe that his roasted sweet potatoes are a panacea, you might as well believe that I am Qin Shi Huang!"
"Why……"
When the people around Li Xiaodan heard her wailing, they immediately looked at her with pity.
It's clear that the roasted sweet potato hastened her death; it's truly tragic.
But what happened the next second was completely unexpected.
"Mr. Yang, thank you!"
Li Xiaodan, who was originally on the verge of death, suddenly stood up from the ground with great energy.
She looked at her hands, clenched them tightly, and then felt herself return to normal.
She looked at Yang Lu with gratitude, knowing that trusting Mr. Yang was definitely the right thing to do.
"Sis...you...you're alright!?"
"I'm completely fine now."
"Then why did you... yell just now!?"
"It felt so good just now, so I couldn't help but let out a cry."
"Ah...this..."
Seeing her cousin's expression, Li Yun immediately became somewhat unsettled.
Looking at her radiant appearance, she doesn't look poisoned at all!
Immediately after hearing what she said, Li Yun learned what had happened!
It seems she cried out because she felt so comfortable.
"Holy crap, this roasted sweet potato really can detoxify!" Then, as if remembering something, she hurriedly said to Yang Lu.
"Brother Yang, give me one, please give me one! Waaaaah... I really love sweet potatoes, my nickname is Little Taro! Waaaaah..."
Li Yun looked at Yang Lu expectantly, hoping he would give her another taro.
"The first one was free, but now it costs money, one hundred million each. Are you buying it?!"
"Ah... even a hundred million... I can't accept that even if I were sold..."
After hearing Yang Lu's words, Li Yun felt like his head was spinning.
Even if I wanted an exorbitant dowry, I probably couldn't come up with 100 million!
"Sis, please put in a good word for me! I was the one who gave you that taro in the first place!"
Li Yun pinned his hopes on his older sister; strictly speaking, the taro he had just eaten should have been his!
"If I remember correctly, you were afraid of choking! Also, it turns out that the gold jewelry Grandma gave me was stolen by you!"
To be honest, under normal circumstances, I would definitely have tried to get her a taro, but now, I put aside my desire to help others.
The gold jewelry my grandmother gave me back then was treasured like precious gems, but I never expected it to be stolen. I was heartbroken for three whole years.
Three years. Does she even know how she survived those three years?!
No, she didn't know.
"I……"
"Actually, the skin of sweet potatoes can also detoxify."
Li Yun was at a loss for words. He knew he had done something wrong, but what should he do now?
At that moment, Yang Luyou's gentle voice rang in her ears, and she immediately realized what was happening.
My older sister just ate the meat inside and threw the roasted sweet potato peels on the ground.
"Awoo awoo..."
Although it's a bit embarrassing to eat leftover taro skins, it's better than getting poisoned and losing them!
She gritted her teeth and started eating the taro skin on the ground.
When Li Xiaodan saw her cousin wolfing down the taro peels she had left, she was speechless.
At that moment, she felt less resentful towards her.
"Ah...that feels so good!"
Just as Li Yun ate the taro peel, she, like Li Xiaodan, suddenly shouted and then stood up from the ground with a joyful expression.
After standing up, she was so happy that she even danced a tango, which she was good at!
