Chapter 34 What? It was laced with rat poison?
South of Lianchi Village, Jiang Xiaogang was throwing a tantrum on the ground, crying loudly.
"Mom and Dad! Beat that bitch Joan to death! Beat her to death!"
"She bullied me!"
Jiang Heizi was so angry that he snorted. His son had actually been beaten up by a woman.
In all these years, their family has never suffered such injustice in the village.
"Hey, say something! Xiaogang is your own son, are you just going to let this go like this?"
The speaker was Li Yumei, Jiang Xiaogang's mother, who had long disliked Qiao An.
Isn't it just that men who support national construction in the Northwest have made a little money?
Look at this display after the family split up! New clothes and a big iron pot—she's completely lost her sense of direction.
She dared to hit her son today; Li Yumei would be furious if she didn't get her revenge.
"What's there to calculate? We're going to grab our weapons and head over there tomorrow! I refuse to believe that with so many people in the Jiang family, Qiao An would dare to go against us!"
"Our son is so badly injured, she has to pay compensation! We also have to buy supplements for Xiaogang. Even if this matter goes all the way to the village committee, our Jiang family is in the right!"
But before the Jiang family could even come knocking on their door the next day, Qiao An had already gone to the brigade.
Tian Yongfu was about to go to the outhouse when he opened the office door and saw Qiao An walking towards the office.
For some reason, Tian Yongfu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
When Qiao An came to the brigade last time, she caused quite a stir. What is she here for this time?
There wasn't a hint of a smile on her face.
Tian Yongfu stepped forward. "Qiao An, is there something you need at the brigade so early?"
"Secretary Tian! Our house has been burgled!"
"What?" Tian Yongfu's voice suddenly rose.
Lianchi Village is a well-known model village in Jinshui Town, and the commune has even given it special praise.
"Something's missing?" Tian Yongfu wanted to confirm. "Could it be that a thief has wandered into our village?"
Qiao An shook her head very seriously, "Secretary Tian, I'm sure the thief is from our village. I lost five yuan and a piece of pork belly the size of my palm."
"If thieves are roaming our village, why would they steal things from my kitchen instead of my hen, iron pot, thermos, and other valuables?"
"Yesterday morning I was cooking, thinking I'd take five yuan to town to buy some malted milk powder or something, but I forgot to put it on the stove. When I came back in the evening, it was gone!"
"I asked Huo Chen and Huo Ning, and they said it wasn't them who took it. Only Wang Dazhuang and Erzhuang from the front yard came to our house yesterday."
Tian Yongfu's mind was filled with the thought of spending five yuan to buy malted milk powder for his child.
What kind of conditions do they have to buy malted milk powder for their child?
Is Huo Jiyun's salary enough for her to go wild?
"You mean, those two lads from Wang Lei's family stole your money and meat?" Tian Yongfu asked.
"I would never wrong anyone, which is why I have come to you to seek justice."
Tian Yongfu was in a dilemma. They were all from the same village. If someone stole something from another person, wouldn't they be talked about behind their back?
But Qiao An has been attracting attention in the village lately. She said she had been robbed, and Tian Yongfu believed her.
"How about this, I'll go with you. We'll go to the Wang family together and talk things over. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding. The child might have been blinded by greed and made a small mistake. We should give the child a chance to correct it, shouldn't we?"
"Secretary Tian, I think you should just use the loudspeaker to announce that as long as they return the money to me when no one is around, we can let it go. If they don't, I'll call the police. It's easy for me to call the police anyway."
"Don't call the police! What will people think of us if the police come to our village? Okay, okay, come with me to the broadcasting room."
Tian Yongfu really had no way to deal with Qiao An.
Upon arriving at the broadcasting room, Tian Yongfu turned on the loudspeaker and coughed twice into the microphone.
"Ahem... Folks of the village, young and old, I have something to tell you."
"Qiao An's family lost... lost five yuan. If anyone finds it or sees it somewhere, please let us know. Everyone should keep it safe and not take it lightly."
The Wang family heard the loudspeaker broadcast, but they didn't pay any attention to what Tian Yongfu was saying.
Since dinner yesterday, everyone in the family has had stomach aches and diarrhea.
It was already cold in the village in November, so everyone prepared a chamber pot to keep indoors and generally didn't go out to relieve themselves.
But they had only been lying down for a short while when they all clutched their stomachs and rushed to the outhouse.
Shi Ahua is now in the outhouse, leaning against the wall, her stomach churning with pain, and there are loud "plop plop" sounds behind her.
But she didn't have much left in her stomach; now she was only passing water.
"Ahua, hurry up! I can't hold it in anymore! I can't hold it in any longer!" Wang Lei was outside the outhouse, one hand covering his stomach and the other covering his buttocks, his face pale.
Wang Dazhuang, Wang Erzhuang, and Wang Sanzhuang couldn't hold back any longer, and the three of them squatted side by side in the corner and ejaculated.
Old Man Wang and Old Woman Wang's faces turned red from holding back their anger.
But they can't squat in the yard to defecate like Wang Dazhuang and the others.
What would it mean if my son and daughter-in-law saw this?
Old Mrs. Wang was so full of bladder water that her eyes rolled back, so she simply turned around and went back into the house, where she relieved herself in the chamber pot.
Meanwhile, in the brigade's broadcasting room, Tian Yongfu spoke into the microphone three times.
Just as he was about to turn off the loudspeaker, Joan leaned over.
"Let me say a few words too. I not only lost five yuan, but also a piece of pork the size of my palm. I'm warning you, don't eat that pork. I specially mixed it with poison to kill rats."
"I'll say it again, there's medicine in the pork. I'm using it to repel rats!"
After finishing speaking, Qiao An straightened up, her expression as usual.
However, Tian Yongfu only felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.
Good heavens! There's poison in the pork! What can rats use to poison rats? It must be rat poison, that stuff can kill people if they eat too much of it!
"Oh no! Qiao An, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!" Tian Yongfu slapped his thigh in frustration.
"I was in such a rush that I forgot," Qiao An said, scratching her head and putting on an innocent face.
"Come with me to Wang Lei's house right now! Let's make sure nothing else goes wrong from what they eat!"
Tian Yongfu was in such a hurry that he forgot the loudspeaker was still on when he said those two sentences.
At this time, everyone in the village got up, and the loudspeaker was so loud that it could be heard even in the fields.
Soon everyone in the village knew that Wang Lei's family had eaten pork laced with rat poison.
Moreover, the five yuan that Qiao An lost was most likely stolen by her family.
People who were originally on their way to work at the appointed time all turned around and headed towards Wang Lei's house.
Wouldn't it be foolish not to watch the excitement?
Tian Yongfu ran wildly, and Qiao An almost couldn't keep up.
When they arrived at Wang Lei's house, there were already quite a few people gathered at the door.
When Tian Yongfu saw the crowd, he realized that he had forgotten to turn off the loudspeaker when he was talking to Qiao An.
But we can't worry about that now, human life is the most important thing.
Wang Lei's door was locked, and Tian Yongfu hurriedly shouted at the onlookers.
"Kick the door open!"
Two young men stepped out from the crowd of onlookers and kicked him.
These days, every household has wooden doors, which are used for decades.
With one stomp, the wooden door turned into wood chips.
Tian Yongfu rushed in.
"Wang Lei!"
"Shi Ahua!!"
"you..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
