Chapter 165 Poisoned
Grandma Qin watched Qin Jin stride into the kitchen carrying two pheasants. He used to dislike working, but today he boiled water and killed the chickens without her nagging.
She shook her head and laughed. This child seemed to care a lot about his mother's performance and wanted to leave a good impression on Su Qian that he was diligent and capable.
He also wanted to tell her that he had grown up and could take care of himself and his grandmother.
So, even if he didn't go with her, she didn't have to worry about him having a bad life.
He came back from hunting two pheasants because he wanted to tell her, look, other people's families can only eat meat a few times a year, but he is different. When he wants to eat meat, he goes for a walk in the mountains and can get whatever meat he wants.
Zhou Jingshen followed him into the kitchen to help.
Song Shuyan was content to stay outside and chat, with no intention of going into the kitchen to cause trouble.
Su Qian raised the corners of her lips, "Does Xiao Zhou also rush to do the work when he's at home?" Or does he only do this in front of her, is he deliberately showing off?
Song Shuyan smiled and said, "He's always like this. He never lets me interfere with anything he can do."
It was because of him that she was wavering.
She felt that even if she went to Hong Kong, it would be difficult for her to find another man who took care of all the housework, was considerate, and was as handsome as him.
The children were still waiting to get the beautiful pheasant tail feathers. One of the children who was not afraid of strangers came into the house, called out to his grandmother and aunt, and ran into the kitchen to look.
Qin Jin thought they were in the way and drove them out, "Go, go, wait outside. I'll boil the water and then I'll kill the chicken at the door. You can watch later."
One of the children chuckled and said, "Qin, Qin Jin, can I help you light the fire?"
Qin Jin glanced at him and raised his eyebrows, "Okay."
If you want free labor that comes to your door, don't waste it.
He made way for him and said, "Call me when the water starts."
He moved a ladder, placed it at the door of the room, and climbed up to the attic separated by wooden boards.
There was a mess of miscellaneous items piled on top.
There were a few black old jars lying around in a mess.
Qin Jin had a clear goal. He walked to an old jar, unscrewed the lid, grabbed two handfuls of dried mushrooms, put them in a winnowing basket, and moved very nimbly, climbing down the ladder in two steps.
He opened the worn-out cupboard, took out a large bowl, and soaked the mushrooms.
Zhou Jingshen, who was peeling onions and washing vegetables in the kitchen, glanced back. Qin Jin's eyes met his. Qin Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled ostentatiously, "Grandma said to save these dried mushrooms for Chinese New Year. I thought since we're all here today, I'll make them. Brother-in-law, you're in for a treat."
Zhou Jingshen was surprised that he changed his words so quickly.
Hearing this name, he was very happy and the corners of his lips curled up.
It feels good to have a new brother-in-law.
"Qin, Qin Jin, the water is boiling!"
"Oh, get out of the way and put out the fire."
Qin Jin was so angry that he drove the person out of the kitchen. He also scooped a basin of boiling water and took it out.
He ran back, got a kitchen knife, and went out with the two pheasants.
The children watching were extremely envious.
He looked at the dying pheasant under Qin Jin's knife with envy, muttering to himself, "It's so unfair. Why can Qin Jin's family eat meat every now and then?"
Other villagers in the village felt the same way.
But they couldn't do anything to Qin Jin.
People eat meat based on their own ability.
It’s not that no one wants to overturn the pot, so that no one can eat.
The team leader stopped those who wanted to make trouble and said, "Just kidding, Qin Jin is now eating meat openly and handing over the rest to the village."
If he was ordered not to go up the mountain, he would still sneak up the mountain and eat meat secretly.
By then, the village will get nothing.
It would be better to do as it is now, turning a blind eye. If Qin Jin kills a large prey, the whole village can have a good meal.
Some villagers were so blinded by jealousy that they couldn't see straight. However, the team leader was very clear-headed and he disdained to do anything that would harm others and himself.
Isn't win-win good?
Of course, Qin Jin was a sensible boy. Grandma Qin had educated him well. Whenever the meat was ready at home, she would always quietly send a bowl to his house at night.
The same is true today.
The pheasant stewed with dried mushrooms was ready. Qin Jin scooped out a large bowl and put it in the cupboard, waiting to deliver it to the captain's house after dark.
At the dinner table, Grandma Qin picked up a chicken leg for Qin Jin and Song Shuyan respectively. She felt that this distribution was reasonable. Su Qian was probably tired of eating meat in Hong Kong, so this chicken leg was not a big deal.
As for Comrade Zhou, he is a few years older than the two children, so of course the older one should give way to the younger one.
"Let's eat."
Qin Jin didn't think twice and put the chicken leg in his bowl into Grandma Qin's bowl.
"Grandma, you eat it this time."
Song Shuyan also put the chicken leg into Su Qian's bowl. She looked at Su Qian and smiled, "You eat it."
Su Qian smiled and took the chicken leg back, "I don't like meat."
If you give in any more, it won’t look good.
Song Shuyan put the chicken leg into Zhou Jingshen's bowl again.
Zhou Jingshen understood that she didn't like eating chicken skin, so she didn't eat chicken legs.
If he were at home, he would peel off the chicken skin and give the chicken drumstick back to her.
Now, there were a lot of people around, so he chose to pick up a few pieces of chicken breast without skin for Song Shuyan.
"You eat this."
"Hmm!" Song Shuyan didn't look at the meat in his bowl, but focused on the mushrooms.
The mushrooms were full of chicken soup and were plump, juicy, fresh and delicious. She loved them very much.
While she was eating, she heard the bench she was sitting on speak.
She was startled.
He stared blankly down at the bench, his mouth wide open as he chirped, "You're so heavy!"
"You made my legs numb!"
Song Shuyan looked solemnly at the bench and said, "Then I'll leave?"
Zhou Jingshen: “…”? ? ?
Who is Shuyan talking to?
"Why do I feel a little dizzy?" Qin Jin rubbed his forehead, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled.
Su Qian's expression changed slightly and she put down her chopsticks. "I, I feel a little dizzy too."
Grandma Qin picked up the bowl and carefully examined the dried mushrooms inside. She exclaimed, "It seems like there are some inedible mushrooms mixed in..."
Her eyesight is blurry due to her old age, and she did not get involved in the entire process of picking and drying the mushrooms this year.
She thought that Qin Jin had been following her for so many years, so he should know what was edible and what was not, right?
I didn't expect him to be so careless that there were some poisonous mushrooms mixed in with them.
Grandma Qin's expression changed drastically. "Quick, quick, quick! Dig into his throat to induce vomiting!"
Zhou Jingshen's face was heavy. He put down his chopsticks and reached out to grab Song Shuyan's wrist.
Song Shuyan struggled, "Let me go!"
In her eyes, her hands were stuck by slime, she got goosebumps and felt sick!
She struggled hard, punching and kicking.
Zhou Jingshen felt a little dizzy after being shaken by her.
Maybe he has good physical fitness and strong resistance, so the signs of poisoning are not obvious.
He had a headache.
Does vomiting really work?
Let’s send him to the hospital.
He was afraid that his condition would worsen while he was driving, so he had to let Song Shuyan go and told everyone, "I'll go find the team leader to take us to the health center."
