The mother and daughter stared strangely at the medicine packet on the table, unsure of what the old lady had given them.
"What is this?" the Yao family asked.
The old lady stretched out in a yawn and languidly sat on a chair: "Arsenic."
The Yao family choked.
Gu Jiao also almost choked. If she remembered correctly, the old lady just casually took it out of her pocket, didn't she? Do old ladies nowadays carry arsenic around?
"Where did you get arsenic from?" Gu Jiao asked the old lady.
The old lady seemed a bit flustered under her gaze and cleared her throat: "Just... um... rat poison!"
She hastily glossed over her words, but Gu Jiao still understood.
Reselling, she said.
Some time ago, Gu Jiao found out there were rats in the house, so she made some rat poison using arsenic.
The rat poison disappeared, and so did the rats.
She thought the rats had eaten all the poison. Did the old lady actually take it to resell?
