"Uncle Li, you have to make the decision for these two children."
"that is."
Old Li was pushed to the front by everyone, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Old Li coughed a few times, feeling as if he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.
It is impossible to ask Gou Wa's grandmother, Mrs. Li, to give money. If she doesn't give it, once the matter falls on their Li family, then the relatives in the clan will have to give the money.
In this day and age, every family wants to make the most of every penny.
Who has spare money to pay for medical treatment for these two orphans?
But now everyone was looking at Old Li, and he had to step forward to resolve the matter.
"Someone go call Gou Wa's uncles and aunts, and then invite the captain. After all, it costs money. With the captain here, everyone should take responsibility and avoid shirking responsibility," said Old Li.
Immediately someone with quick feet went to look for him.
Not long after, the captain came over with a gloomy face.
Mrs. Li's second son, Li Dazhuang, and youngest son, Li Dali, also arrived.
The two of them saw the look on Li Po's face and immediately felt something was wrong. They hurried over and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
"Those two little bastards...the younger one, got food poisoning. I don't know what they ate." Mrs. Li said in disgust, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Shen Qingli, they had dinner at your house yesterday. Now they have food poisoning. It's because of the messy food you gave them. You have to pay for it!"
After hearing what Mrs. Li said, Old Li instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as someone gives money, this problem can be easily solved.
Others immediately agreed.
"If it was caused by something they ate at Zhou's house, then they must be held responsible."
"Isn't this murderous?"
"That's right, that's right, Shen Qingli, why are you still arguing with Mrs. Li? Hurry up and ask Zhou Yubai to take the children to the hospital."
Everyone was talking at once, as if everything was finalized based on Mrs. Li's words.
Shen Qingli's eyes turned, Mrs. Li was quite difficult to deal with.
She looked at Doctor Zhang and asked, "Doctor Zhang, can you tell me how long it has been since these two children ate something poisonous?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Dr. Zhang.
"No more than an hour at most."
Shen Qingli looked at Mrs. Li, "They left my house yesterday, much later than this time, but Mrs. Li, when Dr. Zhang and I came here, you were in the yard."
"I think it was you who gave the two children something poisonous and you wanted to kill them."
"Captain, let's report this to the police. Doctor Zhang and I will tell them exactly what we saw. I also heard that the forensic doctors at the police station can determine what the children ate with just a quick examination."
The captain could see that Shen Qingli must have some plan by biting Li Pozi, but he still chose to cooperate with Shen Qingli. After all, he felt that Shen Qingli was a much better person than Li Pozi.
"Yu Bai's wife is right. The police will find out the truth once they investigate. Mrs. Li, everyone in the village knows how you treat Gou Wa. Add to that the confessions of Doctor Zhang and the others. You might get shot."
The captain's words are much more intimidating than Shen Qingli's.
Eat the bullet!
For Li Pozi, an ordinary village woman, it was like a bolt from the blue.
"Captain, I didn't, I really didn't. How could I poison my own grandchildren?" Mrs. Li was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"That's right, Captain. My mother does have a bad mouth and likes to swear, but she can't kill anyone. She doesn't dare." Li Dazhuang also explained.
"You should tell the police about this. Now, give 20 yuan to Gou Wa and his sister to go to the hospital for gastric lavage. If they are fine, your responsibility will be much smaller if the police investigate." Shen Qingli said.
"We don't have twenty dollars." Li Dali turned pale with fright.
Shen Qingli looked at Old Li, then at the captain.
What it means is: Uncle Captain, come on!
Captain: Close the door, let me go, and charge forward?
"Uncle Li, what do you think about this?" The captain looked at Uncle Li.
Old Li: What can I say? I have no money anyway.
"Captain, you know our situation. We can't come up with that much money even if we try." Old Li's eyes were filled with sorrow. He paused and said, "It depends on how Da Zhuang and the others solve this matter."
Old Li kicked the ball back.
"Captain, we don't have twenty yuan at home." Li Dazhuang said hurriedly.
In any case, they had no money.
"Shen Qingli has it!" Mrs. Li's eyes suddenly lit up. Didn't Li Qiushu give Shen Qingli twenty yuan?
Wouldn't the problem be solved if Shen Qingli just took out the money?
"I have twenty yuan, which my mother left for me. I have a child to raise in the future, so how can I give it to someone else's child?" Shen Qingli said immediately, "This matter has nothing to do with our family. It's your business. Does it mean that whoever has money has to give the money to you?"
"Then why don't you go and rob? The workers in the city all have salaries, and any one of you will be richer than me."
Shen Qingli took two steps back to make her position clear. It was impossible for her to take the money.
"It's not our child." Shen Qingli continued to mutter in a low voice.
Mrs. Li heard what she said.
"I give these two children to you. You spend money on their medical treatment. As long as they are alive, don't report to the police. From now on, they will have the same surname as Zhou Yubai." Mrs. Li said loudly.
Shen Qingli: Finally, under her guidance, I said the most crucial words.
"Why should I want someone else's child? It's not like I'm incapable of having children." Shen Qingli coughed a few times while speaking.
"Shen Qingli, it's hard to say whether you can give birth in your physical condition. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell, and you're a sickly person. What if something happens? You might as well not give birth. Gou Wa is a boy, and Niu Niu is a girl. You'll have both a son and a daughter now." Mrs. Li advised quickly.
The more she spoke, the more she felt that what she said made sense.
"Captain, don't you agree? This way we can save two children and also let Shen Qingli suffer less. It's such a good thing." Mrs. Li looked at the captain.
The captain looked at Shen Qingli and saw that she had a troubled look on her face.
At this time, Niuniu staggered to Shen Qingli and hugged her legs, "Sister, please, save us."
Shen Qingli looked away reluctantly, "I need to discuss this with Yu Bai."
"If we delay any longer, the two children may not be able to hold on for much longer," Doctor Zhang warned.
Mrs. Li wanted to persuade her, but Li Dazhuang grabbed her arm. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mom, things."
Mrs. Li understood immediately that if the two children followed Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli, they certainly could not beat or scold them at will, otherwise they would not be able to find the things left by Gou Wa's mother.
Mrs. Li is caught in a tangle...
