She regretted not standing up for Shihua when he got into trouble, but thankfully it wasn't too late. Although it almost led to a major disaster, he was still family.
Therefore, she quietly looked at her mother, who was about to go crazy, and said, word by word, "Mom, what is the truth? Why don't you ask Shiping?"
After saying that, she looked directly at Liu Shiping, who was still sobbing beside her, and said in a cold voice, "Shiping, tell me yourself whether you took the herbal medicine packet or not, and where you took it?"
Hearing this, Liu Shiping, who was crying, looked a little uncomfortable, but he immediately continued to cry, saying between sobs, "I didn't take it, you're framing me, boohoo, you're so mean!"
"See? I told you I, Ping'er, am not that kind of person. You're supposed to be his older sister, how can you slander your own brother like that? You heartless bastard!"
Upon hearing her son's words, Zhang Sumei's initial doubts vanished instantly, and she immediately perked up, pointing at Liu Shixi and scolding her.
Zhang Sumei was somewhat surprised that this brat had become so strong, but then she remembered how she had been chopping and carrying firewood every day recently, so she understood.
But because she couldn't hit anyone, she got very angry, threw down the broom and started pinching Liu Shile, trying to break free from her grasp.
How amazing was Liu Shile's observational skills? She withdrew her hand almost the instant she was about to pinch her, and then Zhang Sumei pinched her own hand hard...
Zhang Sumei screamed in alarm, looking at her hand that had almost been pinched until it bled, and glared angrily at Liu Shile.
She was determined to pinch Liu Shile, so she used a lot of force. Plus, her nails were quite long to begin with, which led to the tragedy.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you pinching yourself?" Liu Shile ignored her adoptive mother's murderous glare and looked at her innocently.
If looks could kill, Liu Shile would have died a thousand times over. Unfortunately, they couldn't, so no matter how fierce or ruthless Zhang Sumei's gaze was, it didn't cause her the slightest harm.
Liu Weisong's face was dark. He felt that the house was in complete chaos. The adults were wailing and the children were crying. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was dead!
"Shut up, all of you!" he growled, then turned to Liu Shixi with a stern face and said, "Liu Shiping, you better tell me the truth, did you take the herb packet or not! If you dare to tell even half a lie, I'll break your legs!"
Although he felt that it was highly likely that the brat was capable of doing it, he secretly hoped that he hadn't.
So although his tone was stern and his face was grave, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, hoping that he hadn't taken it.
However, he saw a look of panic flash across the child's face after hearing this, and then he looked at his mother for help.
With such behavior, how could Liu Weisong not understand what it meant? The boss was right; he had indeed taken the herbal medicine packet!
If his taking Shi Hua's herbal medicine bag last time was unintentional, what about this time?
He stared at him with a stern face, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Why did you do this?"
He was filled with lingering fear. If Xi'er had been less fortunate, would she have been poisoned to death outside and no one would have known?
Seeing this, Zhang Sumei wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Liu Weisong gave her a warning look. That look contained too much, which made Zhang Sumei feel uneasy.
Since marrying Liu Weisong, she has been the one in charge of the family. Over the years, Liu Weisong has never insisted on doing anything, and she has rarely seen him with such a look in his eyes.
For some reason, Zhang Sumei didn't say anything. She decided to observe the situation first. In any case, Lao Liu was currently unable to move around easily, so she figured he couldn't do anything to Ping'er.
but……
She glanced at the eldest maid, whose expression was somewhat cold, and frowned. If it was really Ping'er who took the herb packet, causing the eldest maid to be like this, then it was indeed inappropriate.
After all, she was her own flesh and blood, so there was bound to be some affection for her. Besides, she was now able to earn money for the family, and Zhang Sumei really didn't want to see her get injured and miss work.
After all, the family's only source of income is the eldest son and the dairy cows she raises. Thinking about this, she felt a surge of anger that she couldn't control.
Liu Shiping originally wanted to wait for his mother to come out of the predicament, but after waiting for a long time without seeing his mother come out to help him, he suddenly panicked.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly ran behind his mother, but didn't say a word. Clearly, he didn't intend to confess honestly.
Her son, Fuxing, clung tightly to her, and Zhang Sumei felt her heart clench. After a moment's thought, she glared at Liu Weisong and said, "You've frightened the child!"
After saying that, she added, "He's just a child and loves to play. Xi'er doesn't put her things away properly, so it's not Ping'er's fault."
She was still angry, so her tone wasn't very good, and she glared at Liu Shixi after she finished speaking.
Seeing this, Liu Shixi felt a chill in her heart. This was her mother, a mother who was biased to no end!
She was almost bitten to death by a snake, and instead of showing any concern, she blamed her for not packing her things properly. Ha, what a good mother she is!
She had initially felt a little reluctant, but at this moment, she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Mom, even if I die, you won't think Shiping is at fault? Last time, she almost got Shihua bitten by a snake, and this time I was bitten directly by a poisonous snake."
Even if he's still young, doesn't he know the consequences of his actions? Mom always says he's too young, but the little girl next door, who's younger than him, is already helping to take care of her younger siblings!
At this point, Liu Shixi felt a pang of sadness. She couldn't quite explain why. Perhaps it was for herself, perhaps for everyone in her family except her third brother, or perhaps for the current phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters.
Her eyes reddened, and tears seemed to glisten in them as she looked at her mother.
Seeing this, Zhang Sumei subconsciously looked away. For some reason, at this moment, she was a little afraid to look her daughter in the eye.
But then she became famous again. She was their mother, and their lives belonged to them. Why should she feel guilty?
Thinking of this, she became righteous again, "How can that girl compare to my Ping'er? None of you are well-behaved, and you even have the nerve to blame your brother for finding the herbal medicine bag?"
I'm telling you, this has nothing to do with Ping'er, no matter how much you argue, it has nothing to do with him!
She would never allow her lucky son to bear the stigma of stealing from home and bringing shame upon his older siblings!
So she added, "Besides, you're just making guesses. Who knows, you might have dropped the herb packet somewhere yourself. Why are you saying that I, Ping'er, took it?"
She was just being unreasonable. She didn't want to strain her relationship with the kids, but this eldest child was so tactless, blaming everything on her, Ping'er.
How could she tolerate this? Therefore, she didn't even care about her eldest son's injuries, only focusing on protecting her lucky son.
Liu Weisong felt a throbbing sensation on his forehead. Now that things had come to this, he understood exactly what was going on.
In such a serious matter, his wife is still protecting him. Isn't this just encouraging him to make mistakes in the future?
