After hearing the result announced by the principal, Ma Sufen and Shen Baolan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were dumbfounded on the spot.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Ma Sufen was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down. "Our whole family ate the egg cake and Chongyang cake this morning and we were all fine. How come the child got into trouble after eating it? You must have made a mistake!"
Shen Baolan also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, you must be mistaken. We eat egg cake and Chongyang cake every day at home without any problem."
The parents were so angry that their lungs were about to explode.
"You guys are the ones who did this immoral thing!? You brought spoiled food to the school for the kids to eat, and you two pretended to be ignorant and put the blame on Teacher Sun. Ugh! You Zhou family are such shameless criminals!"
"I've never seen a more wicked couple than you! You keep saying that you want Teacher Sun to pay with her life. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how dare you say such things?"
"She has no shame to begin with, so of course she dares to say anything. Who in their right mind would do such a wicked thing? Who dares to do such a thing? This is not taking the life of another person's child seriously!"
"Why didn't the thunder kill these two people? How heartless!"
The parents cursed and spitted at each other, almost drowning Ma Sufen and Shen Baolan.
Ma Sufen, who was very proud, was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head. She wished there was a crack in the ground she could crawl into.
Shen Baolan hid behind Ma Sufen in fear, feeling wronged and regretful.
She made the egg cake and Chongyang cake, and it was she who suggested sending them to the kindergarten for the children. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have come up with such a bad idea.
It's over. What should I do now?
Would she be arrested and put in jail? The more Shen Baolan thought about it, the more scared she became. She was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
At this moment, amid the angry scolding of the parents, a clear and childish voice rang out: "Uncle Public Security, are you going to arrest Zhou Hao's grandmother and stepmother as well?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy parents suddenly quieted down.
Ma Sufen jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pointing at Pei Ziheng, "You are just a kid, don't talk nonsense!"
Pei Ziheng's delicate face showed confusion. "Didn't you just shout that you wanted to arrest Teacher Sun and sentence him to labor reform? But it was obviously your egg cakes and Chongyang cakes that poisoned everyone, so if there is anyone to be arrested, it should be you, right?"
After saying that, he asked the police officer in front of him, "Uncle, am I right?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Ma Sufen didn't know whether she was angry or scared, she bent her knees and sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and shouting that she was wronged, "Oh my God, please open your eyes and look, it's not easy to be a good person, I am so wronged..."
Shen Baolan also started crying, complaining about her grievances.
"Comrade Public Security, we didn't expect it to turn out like this. We brought the egg cakes and Chongyang cakes to the school for the children out of kindness. If we had known that the children would be poisoned, I would never have done such a thing..."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's explanation was immediately met with angry rebukes from the parents.
"Bah! What good intentions do you have? You haven't sold out those egg cakes and Chongyang cakes for several days!"
"That's right. Who would dare to keep something that has already been eaten for several days and then give it to the children to eat?"
"Just be thankful that nothing serious happened to my baby, otherwise you two would be murderers and it would not be unfair for you to be sentenced to life in prison!"
Ma Sufen cried with snot and tears, "Wow, my grandson ate it too, and now he's still lying in there. If I had known earlier, would I have fed him?"
"Your grandson deserves what he has suffered. He is unlucky to have an unreliable grandmother like you and an unreliable stepmother! Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are not good people!"
The parents were so angry that they blurted out all sorts of things.
Shen Baolan was scolded like a quail, not daring to say a word.
Even though the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried and acted pitifully, they were still taken away by the police.
Mass food poisoning is no trivial matter. These are all children. Every child is the future and hope of the country and no one is allowed to harm or destroy them.
After treatment, most of the children were fine and were taken home by their parents one after another.
But there are still about ten patients in serious condition who need hospitalization for observation, including Zhou Hao.
Although the school called the Zhou family, considering the relationship between Zhou Shuhuan and Pei Yang, Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to stay and help look after Zhou Hao in case of any emergency.
Not long after, Zhou Shuhuan arrived at the health center.
Shen Mingzhu briefly explained Zhou Hao's condition, then picked up Pei Ziheng, who had fallen asleep, and prepared to go home.
Watching her slender back holding the child, Zhou Shuhuan suddenly felt a little envious of Pei Yang who was thousands of miles away.
In fact, when he first saw the photo, he liked Shen Mingzhu more in his heart.

Shen Mingzhu has a gentle and pretty appearance and is petite, while Shen Baolan has thick eyebrows and big eyes and is tall. Judging from their appearance, height and temperament alone, he is a better match for Shen Mingzhu, while Shen Baolan is more suitable for the tall and burly Pei Yang.
Once, he felt complacent because Shen Baolan gave up Pei Yang and chose him.
But now he no longer has such thoughts, and instead finds it ridiculous for having had such thoughts in the past.
Looking at his son sleeping on the hospital bed, Zhou Shuhuan felt an indescribable sense of loss and regret. If he had married Shen Mingzhu, the one lying here now would probably be Pei Ziheng, right? From childhood to adulthood, Pei Yang was always better than him in everything, even in choosing wives. He always picked the best one, but he tried twice and it didn't seem to be the case.
——
Pei Ziheng opened his eyes and was stunned for a second when he looked at the familiar ceiling above his head.
When he lowered his eyes, he saw Shen Mingzhu bending over to take off his shoes.
Her movements were gentle, and her soft eyes and eyebrows had a special kind of softness and beauty under the orange light.
In fact, he woke up the moment Shen Mingzhu picked him up in the ward, but after hesitating and struggling, he chose to pretend to sleep.
But then he really fell asleep.
"Go to sleep. It's too late today. You can wash up after you wake up tomorrow."
Seeing that he had his eyes open, Shen Mingzhu stretched out her finger, tapped his forehead, and spoke softly.
The fingertips with body temperature fell on his eyebrows, just like a magic wand. Pei Ziheng instantly felt the power surge up, and then his consciousness fell into darkness.
So good.
Looking at her stepson who fell asleep in seconds, Shen Mingzhu smiled silently, then pulled the quilt to cover her stepson, turned around, walked quietly to the door, turned on the light, and closed the door.
The next day, when Pei Ziheng woke up, it was already bright outside the window, and the hand of the Qingwa clock on the desk pointed to nine o'clock.
"Are you awake? Get up, wash up and have breakfast."
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Shen Mingzhu stood outside the door, sticking her head out and talking to him with a smile.
Last night he dreamed again of the scene in his previous life where he was tortured by a vicious woman, but it was strange that although it was the same face, he could tell the difference between the two at a glance.
