Despite Zhang Xiaobei's repeated attempts to comfort her, He Xiaoya couldn't help but burst into tears.
"This morning, when I went to take care of the fishpond, our fishpond was still fine. But just now, when I went to find you for lunch, I discovered that all the fish in our fishpond were dead, floating corpses filling the pond."
For Zhang Xiaobei at the moment, this news was no less shocking than a thunderbolt from a clear sky. He had originally planned to rely on the fishpond to clear his debts and turn around his current situation, but he had not anticipated such an incident.
The three of them hurried to the fishpond, and indeed, as He Xiaoya had said, the pond was filled with the floating corpses of fish.
Upon examination, it was found that the fish had died from poisoning, which meant that someone had put poison into the fishpond while He Xiaoya was away from home.
