After Lin Anning and the others left, Zhang Fenglan stood stunned in the pigsty for quite some time.
It was only when the day had fully broken that she reluctantly stood up, ready to burn the several piglets that had stiffened.
In those days, everyone craved a bite of meat; the piglets could have been sold for some money.
But her conscience wouldn't allow it; she didn't want to harm others.
Just as she was about to carry the piglets outside, she saw a crowd had gathered at the second household.
Those who had eaten her family's meat had been poisoned the day before and had been hanging on IV drips all night; by now, they were a bit better.
Early in the morning, they had returned to Hongqigou, looking for the leftover meat at her house.
Luckily, Su Shuixian had come back the previous night and had already disposed of the meat.
Everyone had searched around but found nothing.
