CHAPTER 866: CHAPTER 339: SCREW YOUR TRAGIC BEAUTY (PART 9)

The bowl was shattered, and the truth was shouted out loud. Mr. Tian felt a lingering fear, accompanied by an inexplicable embarrassment and panic.

Old Lady Han didn’t think much, she just repeatedly asked while holding her son’s hand, "Son, did you touch your mouth just now? Did you drink it?"

Tian Yaozong: ... Dear mother, please don’t ask that! The more you ask, the more panicked I feel!

At this moment, Tian Yaozong himself couldn’t figure out whether he had touched the bowl of poisonous soup.

He suddenly felt a sore throat, a stomachache, and felt like he was about to die soon.

Mr. Tian was still thinking about how to break the deadlock, only to see his son with a pale face, groaning in pain, which also frightened him.

"Stick your fingers down your throat, use your fingers to induce vomiting! And, old lady, go soak pancreatic water in hot water, and then cook some mung bean soup!"

Mr. Tian ran to check on his son while instructing emergency measures.

Inducing vomiting through throat sticking, using pancreatic water for enema, these are all methods to induce vomiting.

And mung bean soup is to detoxify!

So, Mr. Tian truly knew how to handle the sudden situation of mistakenly eating poisonous mushrooms.

And so, those red mushrooms in the bowl were deliberately placed by Mr. Tian and Old Lady Han!

Ms. Hetian suddenly stood up, gently raised her hand!

Crash! Bang!

The makeshift dining table set up with wooden boards was overturned, and all the bowls, plates, rice, and soup were scattered on the ground.

"Enough!"

Ms. Hetian shouted, "Poisonous? So, when you gave it to me to drink, you didn’t say anything, but urged me to drink it!"

"Now it’s Tian Yaozong’s turn, and you say it’s poisonous?"

"Father! Mother! Are you really my biological parents?"

"All these years, I, Ms. Hetian, have rather wronged my own husband, my own son, to support my natal family!"

"To my parents, to my brother, I am absolutely conscientious!"

"Father, Mother, what have I done to deserve being poisoned by you?!"

Ms. Hetian’s voice was loud, almost shouting at the top of her lungs.

Actually, as soon as she overturned the table, noise had already emanated from the cave.

The surrounding families heard the noise and were already peeking around the cave.

Afterwards, with Ms. Hetian’s vehement accusation, the villagers directly ran into the cave to "mediate."

"Oh dear, what’s going on? How could the table be overturned just like that?"

"Poisoned to death? Who wants to poison whom? We’re all one family, why would anyone use poison?"

"What happened to Daniu? Oh dear, I must say, for several tens of miles around, there’s no daughter as filial as Daniu. Her own husband serves labor without being willing to spend money, yet she takes money to let her brother go to town to eat and spend..."

These people, on the surface, seemed to be mediating earnestly, but actually, they all had a mindset of watching the drama.

Some even directly made sarcastic remarks in a quirky tone.

One can’t blame everyone for not being kind or lacking fellow-community solidarity, but during the process of fleeing hardship, everyone was both each other’s neighbors for mutual support and competitors in conflicts.

Not to mention, the cave occupied by the Tian Family was seized by Mr. Tian.

It wasn’t that no one wanted to contest it, but everyone was somewhat afraid of Ms. Hetian.

Although great strength doesn’t equate to high combat power, for the Tian Family’s neighbors, witnessing firsthand how Ms. Hetian, a skinny woman, could lift a three to four hundred pound stone mill, undoubtedly made them hesitate in their hearts.

Moreover, the Tian Family had a famous shrew in the village, Old Lady Han.

She could swear at the whole village, unrivaled in a verbal fight.

Whoever offended her, she’d block their way and scold for three days and nights without repeating herself!

... So, such an odd Tian Family that even the village hooligans wouldn’t dare to provoke lightly.

But, a cave was truly enticing.

Other families could only set up a grass hut or cover with a quilt, while the Tian Family could stay in the cave. Others looking on, would inevitably feel envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Now, finally seeing the Tian Family arguing, and it seemed to be led by the one who only had eyes for parents and brother, Ms. Hetian, the excitement for drama among the onlookers was sky-high indeed.

"What poison, poison? Don’t talk nonsense!"

"In our house, it’s just, just the child being naughty, accidentally knocked over the table, that’s why——"

Old Lady Han might not be as clever as her husband, but relatively speaking, compared to other farmwomen, Old Lady Han’s reaction was still very quick.

She discovered that her son was just complaining of discomfort without any other actual reaction, which put her mind at ease.

With her son in no major trouble, Old Lady Han could spare a hand to deal with the current scene.

Although it pained her to see the mess on the ground, she couldn’t lash out at Ms. Hetian, but instead pointed at He Xiaobao, who stood there dumbstruck holding a flatcake, blaming him instead.

"No poison?"

Seeing Old Lady Han try to muddle through even at this moment, Ms. Hetian directly pulled out half a red mushroom from her clothes.

"I found this by the stove. It must have accidentally fallen out while you were cooking, Mother. Since it’s not poisonous, come, Fu Gui, have a taste!"

Ms. Hetian directly snatched Tian Fugui from Wang Family’s arms, pretended to stuff the red mushroom into the child’s mouth...
