Without Fighting
The shit-stirring stick was thrust directly into Old Zhao's mouth, breaking her lips and causing blood to flow out.
Old Zhao was startled and quickly stepped back to wave away the shit-stirring stick.
A foul smell filled her mouth. Old Zhao spat several times and looked at Wu with a look as if it was poisoned: "Bitch! How dare you hit your mother-in-law? I will report you to the government and have you cut into pieces!"
Wu ignored her and ran back to the toilet to get a dung shovel. She scooped up some feces and urine and rushed out, pouring them directly on Old Zhao, shouting:
"Go ahead and report. I will also report you for poisoning me early in the morning. I thought your family was so kind, but it turns out you wanted to poison me and Chang'an. Fortunately, we didn't eat it, otherwise we would have died at home without anyone knowing! You failed to harm others and now you come to frame them. Is there anyone in the world more shameless than your family?"
Old Zhao was splashed with feces and urine all over her head and face, and maggots were crawling into her hair and clothes. She was so scared that she turned around and ran, taking off her clothes as she ran.
Wu was extremely angry and chased after Old Zhao with a dung shovel, all the way to the door of the new house.
When Mrs. Zhao ran into the yard, Mrs. Wu stood at the door and cried,
"Everyone come and listen. Early in the morning, Song Yufeng brought me a bowl of brown sugar eggs. I knew I had done nothing for it, so I didn't dare to eat it, so I sent the brown sugar eggs back. As a result, the mother-in-law falsely accused me of poisoning her son and wanted to beat Chang'an and me to death. Aunts and sisters-in-law, come and judge, is such a mother-in-law still a human being? Chang'an and I were lucky enough not to be poisoned by her, but this became the reason for her false accusation."
The women who came to watch the fun were all horrified: "What? Mrs. Zhao dared to poison her daughter-in-law and granddaughter?"
"No way? Why would she do this?"
"Why? I guess it was to avenge the losses she suffered in the previous times. That old hag is not an ordinary person. She can do anything vicious." Mrs. Qian lived next door to Song Sanshun's house and knew his family's situation best.
The mother of the little hoe also ran over. When she heard the whole story, she got angry. She clapped her hands and yelled outside Song Jizu's house:
"Shameless old man! How dare you poison your daughter-in-law and granddaughter! Let's go to the police now! Let's see how the government judges!"
Little Chang'an is the master of his own son. To harm her is like to harm his own family.
Jin Guihua was furious and jumped up and down and yelled: "No wonder Song Jizu was sent to the doctor so early in the morning. It seems that he ate the brown sugar eggs that his mother added. It's really God's retribution! Let the King of Hell take away these black-hearted and rotten things!"
At this time, someone invited the clan leader and two elderly village elders.
Poisoning people's lives is not a small matter. The village cannot allow such a family to continue to stay in the village. What
if the old pious mother and her son hate the villagers and poison anyone's house? Wouldn't it be a disaster for the village?
The clan leader did not enter the yard, but asked about the cause and effect at the door.
After listening to several people talking at once, he had guessed the whole story.
It was definitely because Mrs. Zhao saw that Sanshun and Song Baqi were not at home, so she had evil thoughts and wanted to take revenge on Wu.
If Song Baqi still protected such a vicious woman, he would expel their family from the clan.
Thinking of this, the clan leader walked into Song Baqi's house with a gloomy face.
"Where is Song Jizu?" The clan leader and several others walked into the main hall of the Song family and saw the timid little Zhao, and asked, "What poison did he get?"
Little Zhao was frightened by the clan leader's stern eyes and answered subconsciously, "It was water boiled with cat's eye grass and soap tree thorns."
Before she finished speaking, old Zhao rushed out and slapped little Zhao hard: "What nonsense are you talking about? Did you kill my son?"
I clearly asked this bitch to deliver the eggs, but in a blink of an eye, she somehow instigated Yufeng to deliver them, and ended up killing her son.
At this time, Mrs. Zhao wanted to strangle little Zhao to death.
In the eyes of the clan leader and the elders, Mrs. Zhao's attempt to cover up her mistake was simply superfluous.
The clan leader looked cold and shouted, "Stepmother's wife, call Yufeng out!" He wanted to ask Song Yufeng why she sent eggs to Chang'an and Wu. Xiao Zhao was slapped by her mother-in-law. She felt wronged and ran to the east room to call Song Yufeng.
Song Yufeng didn't dare to come out at all. She just hugged her nephew Song Chengye and cried bitterly.
She had been slapped twice by her own mother before and warned her not to admit anything.
But when she delivered the sugar-water eggs, the two children of Qian's wife stood not far away and watched. How could she clear herself of the matter?
Seeing that her sister-in-law refused to go out, Xiao Zhao simply didn't go out either. She hugged Song Xiyue on the kang and cried, "Xiyue, what should I do? Your father is dying. If something happens, you should think of a way."
Her husband Song Jizu vomited and convulsed, and his face was blue and purple, which almost scared the whole family to death. Xiao Zhao regretted not telling her husband about the cooking of poisonous grass.
She shouldn't have listened to her mother-in-law's words, saying that the less people knew, the less risk there would be. Men are the pillars of the family and should not be involved in these dirty things.
Now, that bowl of sugar-water eggs actually harmed her husband.
Fortunately, her son got up late and didn't eat the bowl of eggs with his father, otherwise she would really want to hang herself.
Song Xiyue was almost mad at her stupid mother.
One or two of them are useless. If they can't do a small thing well, she shouldn't expect these idiots to accomplish anything.
She whispered, "Mom, how can you just tell me what poison Dad was poisoned with? Isn't this confessing yourself?"
Song Xiyue glanced at her aunt and whispered in her mother's ear, "I tell you, you have to insist that it was Aunt San who poisoned him. If it doesn't work, you can say that you saw Auntie boil the herbs. Anyway, she also sent the bowl of sugar water eggs, so let her take the blame."
Once the matter is exposed, her family must sacrifice someone. After thinking about it, she can only let Auntie take the blame.
Xiao Zhao listened to her daughter's explanation and gradually calmed down.
But she had already told what poison her husband was poisoned with, and even the doctor knew about it and boiled some mung bean soup for her husband to detoxify. What should she do?
Little Zhao looked at Song Yufeng who was crying non-stop and thought: If the clan leader investigates, I can only push it to my sister-in-law.
The clan leader and his men who were waiting outside did not see anyone for a long time, and they could not help but get angry, and immediately ordered the villagers to drag people into the house.
"I wanted to give you a chance, but since you are so ungrateful, take you all to the village head for interrogation." The clan leader said with his hands behind his back: "Poisoning people is a serious crime, we can't leave a scourge in the village."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she refused to do it. She sat on the ground and slapped her legs and cried: "It's unfair. My son was harmed by Wu, the poisonous woman, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead. You still come to bully him. God, why don't you open your eyes and see it?"
The clan leader ignored her and asked people to drag people into the house.
Although Song Yufeng was only twelve years old, everyone saw her bringing a bowl of brown sugar eggs to Wu in the morning.
Moreover, Qian also proved that as soon as Song Yufeng left Sanshun's house, Wu returned the bowl of brown sugar eggs and placed it on the stone pillar at the door of the Song family. Soon, Song Jizu came out, saw the hot brown sugar eggs, and ate them.
"I don't want to see the officials! I don't want to see the officials!" Song Yufeng was terrified and refused to leave, screaming: "Mom! Save me! Save me."
Seeing that the clan leader was serious, old Zhao immediately got up from the ground, hugged her daughter and cried, refusing to let anyone take her away.
For a while, the Song family was in chaos with ghosts and wolves howling.
