As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar erupted in the crowd.
"What? A sick pig?"
"Could it be that Granny Chen was right? The pigs at the pig farm have contracted swine fever?"
"What about the pork today?"
The crowd that had just been scrambling to buy meat all silently took a step back.
Although they really wanted to eat meat, their lives were more important.
Those who had bought meat but hadn't left put their pork back on the cutting board, saying, "Madam, I don't want the meat anymore, please give me my money back."
"Then, I don't want it either."
Seeing that everyone wanted a refund, Wang Sao angrily scolded Chen Pozi: "Chen Pozi, what nonsense are you talking about? I personally watched this pig being slaughtered this morning. It was still lively and energetic before it was slaughtered. It's not a sick pig at all!"
Granny Chen looked smug. "Who knows if what you're saying is true or not!"
"Indeed, one of our pigs died yesterday afternoon, and it was poisoned."
As soon as Xiang Wanwan finished speaking, everyone was even more shocked.
Poisoned to death?
Poisoning pigs?
Who would do such a thing?
Xiang Wanwan continued, "Luckily, we discovered it early, so we only lost one pig; the rest were intact."
"For everyone's safety, we have buried the pig that died from poisoning. If you don't believe me, you can go to the back of the pig farm to check."
"And the pork sold today is from pigs that were slaughtered yesterday and were not poisoned."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the person who had just been demanding a refund quietly took the pork that was already on the cutting board back.
Old Mrs. Chen refused to give up and continued to nitpick: "Who knows if what you're saying is true? Unless you eat it raw and show it to us, if there's no problem, we'll buy it."
Xiang Wanwan curled her lips into a cold smile.
"Aunt Chen, you've come here on purpose to cause us trouble, haven't you?"
"And you were the one who poisoned our pig farm yesterday, weren't you?"
"You have no evidence, yet you keep saying there's something wrong with our pork. If you didn't do it, how can you be so sure?"
“I now reasonably suspect that you poisoned the pig, causing our pig farm to lose a pig for nothing. My pig weighs 200 jin (100 kg), and even at the price of spare ribs, it would cost at least 100 yuan. Let’s go, let’s go to the security department.”
Xiang Wanwan gripped Chen Pozi's wrist tightly, staring at her with a sharp gaze.
Granny Chen panicked immediately and tried desperately to break free from Xiang Wanwan's grasp: "You're talking nonsense! I didn't poison the pig farm!"
"You're slandering me!"
"I...I just guessed that there was something wrong with your pigs."
Seeing this, Sister Wang immediately came over and grabbed her, not letting her leave.
"It was you. You cursed us to get swine fever before because you weren't allowed to draw lots last time, so you're holding a grudge. Plus, you look down on Shuxue and want to get revenge on her, so you poisoned the pigs."
"At the very least, your actions harm the pig farm, but if we were to take a chance and let everyone eat this meat, wouldn't we all be poisoned? Old Mrs. Chen, how cruel you are."
Xiang Wanwan continued to emphasize the seriousness of the problem, giving Chen Pozi no chance to argue.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines after hearing this.
Fortunately, the leader's wife had a conscience and did not sell the diseased pork; otherwise, everyone would have been killed.
That old woman Chen is absolutely wicked!
It almost implicated everyone on the island.
When Granny Chen heard this series of accusations, her face was filled with panic.
"I...I didn't. It really wasn't me!" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
