"What? Your son is only a little old, and you're already giving him alcohol? I don't think you're his biological mother, are you? Seriously!"
When the villagers heard that Zhao Chunlian gave alcohol to her eight-year-old son, they became angry. How could such a young child drink like an adult?
This is just nonsense!
Zhao Chunlian was worried that the villagers would be reluctant to save the man because of her, so she quickly explained, "I know my son can't drink alcohol, but he ate pig's feet cooked with cartilage powder, and the antidote is in the wine. I had no choice but to let him drink."
When villagers heard what Zhao Chunlian said, they immediately stood up to question it.
"You cook food, so why do you leave cartilage in the food?"
"I……"
Zhao Chunlian was speechless. She didn't know what to do and looked for help at Luo Dahu who was controlled by the villagers.
Seeing Luo Dahu's dejected head hanging, Zhao Chunlian knew her plan was ruined. To save her son, she confessed everything: "I don't know what got me wrong at the time. I just know that in my impulsiveness, I listened to the man and woman my husband brought with me. I cooked the pig's feet with cartilage powder in order to knock out Shu Jiaying, the eldest daughter of the Shu family, and my niece Xiaohua so I could control them."
Zhao Chunlian wept as she knelt before Shu Jiaying and Xiaohua, confessing, "Miss Shu, Xiaohua, I'm sorry for you. I was too greedy, but I didn't expect retribution to come so quickly. Woo woo woo... It actually happened to my son. It's my fault, everything is my fault. Can anyone save my son? If I can't find a doctor, there's really no hope for him..."
While crying, Zhao Chunlian kept kowtowing.
I don't know how many times she hit her forehead, but it suddenly swelled up and a stream of blood flowed from the wound. She looked both horrible and pitiful. The villagers who wanted to scold Zhao Chunlian kept silent, but they did not take the next step.
Seeing this, the captured Luo Dahu, after a moment of mental struggle, pleaded with the villagers, "Fellow villagers, all of this is caused by my greed, but my son is innocent, so I beg you to help me send my son to Fengyun Town for treatment. I was wrong, I was really wrong. To make up for my mistake, I... I am willing to donate ten taels of silver to the villagers of Guangming Village, and I swear I will never set my sights on Xiaohua House again. I hope that everyone will consider that my son has a long life ahead of him and forgive me this time. I beg you to help send my son to Fengyun Town!"
When Yang Xiaoxian heard that the village had suddenly received another ten taels of silver, he almost couldn't stand. He excitedly walked up to the villagers and made another passionate speech.
"Alas... the sea of suffering is endless, but turning back is the shore. I think Luo Dahu is truly repentant this time.
Folks, Luo Dahu has turned over a new leaf, and he's willing to make amends for his mistakes. Since his son has already taken the punishment for him, I think we should all forgive him and his wife. And saving lives is like putting out a fire...
"Boss Zhu, look at the ferry and see if there are any villagers who want to board the boat to Fengyun Town. Hurry up and start the boat now."
When Sister Zhang, who was sitting on the boat, heard that Luo Dahu actually used the ten taels of silver she gave him to escape, she almost bit her teeth. She even thought that if she arrived at Fengyun Town and waited for Luo Xiaoming to wake up, she would definitely kidnap Luo Xiaoming as compensation for the losses caused to her by Luo Dahu.
