Gu Qingning really wanted to eat it.
Old Mrs. Lu's heart was almost beating in her throat. She pretended to leave as if she didn't care, but in fact her eyes were always glancing at her.
"No, you can't eat it, put it down!"
Lu Changqing suddenly rushed out of the house panting, and without saying a word, he threw the bowl on the ground.
The bowl broke with a snap, and the egg custard also broke into pieces, and some black stuff flowed out of it, which looked a bit like incense ash and pot ash.
Lu Changqing turned around and said to Mrs. Lu viciously: "How dare you harm my wife?"
Gu Qingning knew there was something fishy about this thing, so she simply pretended to have a stomachache, holding her stomach and yelling, "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much!"
Lu Changqing was startled and hurried to help her: "Are you okay? Qing Ning, did you eat her food?"
Gu Qingning's face was pale and she looked very weak. "My stomach hurts so much, my child, she poisoned the egg custard!"
Mrs. Lu immediately screamed, "You didn't eat anything at all, stop throwing dirty water on me, you shameless thing!"
Aunt Li also rushed in breathlessly from behind: "Qing Ning, oh my, you are still pregnant, and you, this damn mother-in-law, want to kill you and your child! Look at what you are eating, it's so dirty, and you actually gave this to a pregnant woman!"
Old Mrs. Lu secretly cried out in alarm and immediately prepared to run away.
Li Laosi was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and caught her in one go.
"Let me go! Stop arresting me here! If anything happens to me, I'll make sure your whole family is in trouble!"
Old Mrs. Lu still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and kept cursing.
She thought to herself, it would be great if Gu Qingning really had a miscarriage!
Moreover, there was only a little talisman paper ash added to this bowl of egg custard. Gu Qingning didn't even eat it, but she felt so uncomfortable just by touching it. This means that she must be possessed by a water ghost!
Otherwise, if she were a living person, why would she be afraid of such a thing?
Aunt Li was crying and shouting, and her son and daughter-in-law were not idle either. They soon reported the matter directly to the women's director Zhang Qingxia.
"What? Is there something wrong with Gu Qingning's body?"
Gu Qingning is very popular in the village, not to mention that her daughter also works for Gu Qingning.
Now, she is the key to leading the whole village to prosperity.
If something happens at this critical moment, there will be no place to cry!
She quickly put down the work at hand and rushed to the scene.
"Everyone, get out of my way. I want to see that bowl of egg custard!"
Zhang Qingxia is usually very quick and decisive in her work, and is an expert at solving cases. Everyone in the village respects her very much.
Hearing this, the crowd watching the excitement automatically made way.
Zhang Qingxia picked up the egg custard in a bowl and said calmly, "Go find a barefoot doctor!"
The barefoot doctor came over quickly, tasted the egg custard, and said, "It has wood ash and a lot of burdock leaves added to it!"
Hearing this, Zhang Qingxia's face changed drastically: "Well, you, Old Lady Lu, you are doing me a great disservice. You even want to abort the baby in your daughter-in-law's belly?"
In this era of extremely limited medical care, many people used burdock leaves to induce abortion.
Old Lady Lu was furious. "You're talking nonsense! When did I ever add burdock to that? I think you're a colluded bunch, trying to kill me! She didn't even take a bite of the egg custard I gave her, so how could she have a fit now? She's faking it!"
Zhang Qingxia raised her eyebrows. "Anyway, she's not feeling well right now, so there's something wrong with the egg custard you sent. You have to come with us!"
Old Mrs. Lu was still a little scared of Zhang Qingxia.
She could only fall to the ground, crying and making a fuss: "You bastards, you only know how to bully an old woman like me. My family members are still alive, and you are bullying me. Zhang Qingxia, you, an official, don't care about our lives. You will die a horrible death!"
Everyone around started to accuse Old Lady Lu of making a scene, but there was nothing they could do.
Who made it so that no one could mess with this old shrew?
Lu Changqing immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, please judge for me. I saw this old lady Lu and a woman standing at my door mysteriously last night. They were planning to kill my wife!"
Everyone knows that Old Lady Lu and Gu Qingning have been holding a grudge against each other for a long time.
When they heard this, someone immediately reacted: "Last night, I seemed to see an old woman walking with Old Lady Lu. That old woman looked familiar. She seemed to be the witch who secretly ran away a few years ago!"
"I saw it too. It's that weird old woman from the next village, right? I didn't realize it before!"
Now they have started to scratch off the old things and are very taboo about these things.
Everyone around me is very superstitious about it.
Old Mrs. Lu's face changed drastically. She thought she had done it secretly last night, but she didn't expect that so many people saw it.
She turned around and tried to run, but was clamped down by the fourth son of the Li family.
"They want to harm us, and they want to use feudal superstition to harm us! Now they want to break the old ways. Sister Zhang, you must help us!"
Zhang Qingxia frowned coldly: "Good on you, Old Lady Lu, I want to see how you harm others!"
She immediately searched him herself.
Old Mrs. Lu struggled desperately, but unfortunately she was soon found out. She had several talismans on her body.
