Chapter 35 I did it on purpose
The onlookers also rushed in, and Qiao An finally walked into the Wang family courtyard at a leisurely pace.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Wang Lei and his three sons were squatting on the ground, having diarrhea.
Indescribable sounds also came from the outhouse.
Old Wang leaned against the wall, his legs trembling like a leaf.
Old Lady Wang has disappeared without a trace.
"It's alright...it's good that you're alright." Tian Yongfu breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Lei and Old Man Wang were so frightened by what they saw that their anuses tightened.
He didn't even have time to wipe his butt before pulling up his pants.
His complexion was even worse, a dark reddish-black.
The three children didn't seem to care and continued to dart around with their bare bottoms exposed.
"Secretary Tian... what are you doing at our house?"
Wang Lei was stopped halfway, feeling extremely uncomfortable, as if a powerful energy was about to burst forth.
He clutched his stomach and slowly bent over, trying to make himself feel better.
But in Tian Yongfu's eyes, this was a sign of poisoning.
"Quickly! Bring Aunt Zhao over so they can take a look!"
Tian Yongfu shouted behind him, and several teenagers were sent by their families to find Old Lady Zhao, while the others continued to watch the commotion.
Shi Ahua heard a noise in the yard, and after having diarrhea for a while, she felt better before coming out.
Without saying a word, Wang Lei took off running towards the outhouse.
"Secretary Tian... what brings you to our house?"
"Why...why are you kicking...kicking our front door?"
Tian Yongfu looked anxious and, disregarding any secrecy between men and women, pulled Shi Ahua up and down, asking, "Does your stomach hurt?"
"Did you eat pork that was laced with rat poison?"
Shi Ahua, quick-witted, blurted out, "What pork? Secretary Tian, are you out of your mind? How could my family afford pork?"
Tian Yongfu was speechless. Wasn't that right?
At this moment, Joan stepped forward, pretending to breathe a sigh of relief, "You didn't eat? That's great, it seems I misunderstood."
"I threw a piece of pork laced with rat poison into the kitchen, and when I came back last night, it was all gone."
"I thought even the biggest rat couldn't finish eating that much meat. But when I asked, I found out that Dazhuang and Erzhuang came to our house yesterday. I thought the kids were just being silly and took the meat away."
Qiao An was about to say something, but Shi Ahua could no longer hear her.
Now all she can think about is pork laced with rat poison.
It was adulterated with rat poison.
Rat poison!
Ingesting this by mistake can be fatal!
Thinking of this, her stomach started to cramp again.
"Secretary Tian!" Shi Ahua clutched her stomach, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Help! Please help us! We've been poisoned!"
Joan scratched her head. "How could I be poisoned? I didn't eat pork, did I?"
"I...we...I..." Shi Ahua hesitated, wanting to speak but not knowing how to say it.
Old Wang, standing to the side, was sweating profusely from the pain; he felt like he was about to die from the agony.
He's only fifty; he doesn't want to die.
Old Wang spread his fingers wide, as if pleading for help, "Secretary Tian, we...we did eat pork."
"The two kids brought it back; we didn't know it was poisonous..."
"Help! Save them!"
Now Tian Yongfu was really panicked.
If something were to happen to the Wang family of seven, Lianchi Village would become infamous in Jinshui Town.
Just as Tian Yongfu was pacing anxiously, Old Lady Zhao arrived.
The young man following behind was carrying two large buckets.
"Who ate rat poison?"
"Aunt Zhao, you've finally arrived! The Wang family, all seven members, have been poisoned." Tian Yongfu looked at Old Lady Zhao as if he had seen a savior.
"What? They're all poisoned?"
The crowd parted to make way, and Old Lady Zhao saw Shi Ahua, whose face was pale, and Old Man Wang, her expression serious.
"You got what you deserved for stealing other people's food, didn't you?"
Grandma Zhao had obviously heard the loudspeaker broadcast as well. She was scolding people, but her hands were busy too.
He opened the bucket in his hand and stirred the water inside with a gourd ladle.
Qiao An peeked out and saw that the water looked pitch black; it must be charcoal ash water.
This is a folk remedy for accidental ingestion poisoning.
You can usually give them soapy water, soy milk, egg whites, or milk.
But now, in those days, only charcoal ash water could be used.
"Secretary Tian, quickly help them up and make them drink the charcoal ash water. Both buckets must be finished."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Tian Yongfu called out to the people nearby for help.
They quickly dragged all of Wang's family members to the wooden tub, and even Wang Lei, who was in the latrine, was pulled out.
Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Wang, who had been struggling around the house, was too exhausted to continue her urination and collapsed next to the chamber pot without even pulling up her pants.
The two women, barely able to stand the stench, pulled up her pants and carried her out.
A family of seven lay beside a wooden tub, weakly drinking water made from charcoal ash.
"--puff!"
The first one to give up was Wang Dazhuang, "It tastes awful! I'm not drinking it anymore!"
"If you want to live, you have to drink! Hold them down and force-feed them!"
At Old Lady Zhao's command, everyone held down the Wang family members, pried open their mouths, and poured hard shrub charcoal ash water into them.
Until the two buckets of water were emptied, the Wang family members' bellies were all swollen and round.
Soon, they went from having diarrhea to understanding the baby's hands, making trip after trip.
After nearly two hours of commotion, the seven members of the Wang family lay motionless on the ground.
He was making mumbling noises, and it was impossible to understand what he was saying.
"I've found the meat, but I wonder where my money is?" Joan said quietly from the side.
It was only then that everyone remembered Joan.
The look in his eyes was meaningful.
Who uses pork to poison rats?
Is she crazy?
Shi Ahua struggled to sit up, her finger trembling as she pointed at Qiao An.
"You little bitch...you did this on purpose, didn't you? You want to wipe out the Wang family line! How cruel you are!"
Joan looked innocent. "I deliberately stuffed the medicine into the pork. Is there a problem with that?"
"I'm in my own home, what I do is none of your business!"
"You! You...!"
Shi Ahua had a bitter pill to swallow.
How much stuff did they steal from Qiao An in the past two weeks?
This time, it was obvious that Qiao An was deliberately trying to punish them.
But she couldn't reveal in front of everyone that she had stolen from the Qiao family for half a month, or she would be unable to face anyone in Lianchi Village.
"Since the child took the meat, can I get my money back? I still need to buy malted milk powder for Huo Chen and Xiao Ning."
Everyone reacted the same way as Tian Yongfu after hearing this.
That's incredibly extravagant. Five yuan is enough for an ordinary family to eat for several days, yet she said she was buying malted milk powder for her child.
"I...I don't know what money you're talking about..." Shi Ahua turned her head away from her.
"Secretary Tian." Qiao An turned to Tian Yongfu, looking troubled. "Five yuan is not a small amount. Should I call the police?"
"Hey! Don't call the police!" Tian Yongfu quickly stopped her.
"You guys, search the house! The money was stolen yesterday, it definitely hasn't been spent yet, hurry up!"
Tian Yongfu winked at several people in the brigade.
They rushed into the Wang family's house and began ransacking it.
Wang Lei and Shi Ahua looked panicked, but quickly calmed down.
Even if we find the money, so what?
As long as they stubbornly refuse to admit it, that's fine.
After a while, those people ran out of the house.
"Secretary Tian, this was found in the drawer of the chest of drawers in the east room. It contained twelve yuan and thirty-three cents."
