Chapter 249 - 249: There’s Poison In The Soup

Translator. Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Madam Ning gave the chicken soup to Second Aunt Ning and left. The latter didn’t seem to feel the heat either. She stood in the courtyard with the soup for a long time before sneering and splashing the chicken soup into the chicken cage.

Why was she pretending to care? She had been back for so long, but she had never seen anyone with a conscience to comfort her, let alone mention the child.

Just as she was burning with anger, she suddenly heard a few abnormal chicken cries. She turned around and saw the big rooster at home lying on the ground. After stretching its neck and letting out strange cries as if it was choking, it kicked its legs again and stopped moving.

Second Aunt Ning was shocked. She crossed the fence, picked up the chicken and shook it. She realized that it was really dead. She looked at the basin containing the chicken food again and broke out in cold sweat.

just now, she had poured in the chicken soup that her mother-in-law had given her. That big rooster had always been protective of its food and wanted to be the first to eat everything.

Second Aunt Ning understood that it was against the heavens to make chickens eat one another, but she had never heard of chickens dying because of that. So, the soup was poisonous?

Her mother-in-law wanted to kill her!

Fear and hatred surged in her heart at the same time. She had yet to attack that old woman, but that old woman wanted to kill her?!

Hearing movement in the front yard again, Second Aunt Ning quickly threw the dead rooster into a corner of the chicken coop.

When Old Madam Ning came, she only saw the empty bowl in her daughter-in-law’s hand. She clicked her tongue and despised her for being gluttonous. She was also a little puzzled. Why was she still fine? Since she was fine, she would work for her.

She handed the other bowl full of chicken soup to Second Aunt Ning. “This bowl is for your man. It’s not hot anymore. Tell him to drink it while it’s hot. Tomorrow, think of a way to go to the county to earn money to pay off his debts!”

This was abnormal. Based on Second Aunt Ning’s understanding of her mother-in-law, even if he was her mother-in-law’s biological son, it was impossible for her to let the matter go so easily. She didn’t hit or scold him, but she gave him food?

Second Aunt Ning bent down and covered her stomach. “My… my stomach suddenly hurts. Mother, it hurts so much. Can you get me a doctor?” Old Madam Ning heaved a sigh of relief. “What doctor? Don’t you know what your man did? How can we still have money to hire a doctor? If your stomach hurts, go to the toilet. What’s there to be pretentious about!”

Then, she cursed and personally delivered the soup.

As soon as she left, Second Aunt Ning walked around the courtyard wall and went outside the second branch’s house. She pricked her ears against the wall to listen to the sound.

“Fengcai, at this point, it’s useless for me to blame you.”

“We still have to live. Come, finish your soup and have a good sleep.” She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Second Aunt Ning could hear a sinister viciousness in these words that made her hair stand on end. If she shouted now, she could still stop Ning Fengcai from drinking the chicken soup with extra ingredients. However, she thought of the indenture contract with Ning Fengcai’s handprint, her poor dead child, and Ning Fengcai, who was indifferent to these things and even caused these things…

She gritted her teeth and covered her mouth.

The sound of a broken bowl and suppressed painful struggles came from the room. Second Aunt Ning actually felt happy. All kinds of things between husband and wife flashed across her mind, and love and hatred intertwined into endless tears.

She composed herself and heard a panicked voice. “Mother, what are you doing?”

Old Madam Ning moved her hand away from her second son’s face and pulled her youngest son up from the ground in fear before closing the door. “Your second brother knew that he had let us down and committed suicide. Little Uncle Ning trembled in fear. “Mother, what are you talking about? I clearly saw…”

Old Madam Ning said sternly, “He threatened me to go to the government office to report that your Tongsheng status is illegal.”

Little Uncle Ning stopped talking abruptly. Old Madam Ning continued, “Some time ago, I spent money to redeem him from prison because he told your second sister-in-law that you became Tongsheng back then because you used Dalang’s identity. The name ‘Ning Anwen’ originally belonged to Dalang.” What she didn’t know was that even when Second Uncle Ning was in prison, he thought more highly of his brother and parents than Second Aunt Ning. He could use Second Aunt Ning as an excuse to scare Old Madam Ning, but he didn’t tell Second Aunt, an “outsider”, what was really related to his family’s secret.

Second Aunt Ning’s eyes widened as she heard her uncle and mother-in-law say, “What? He actually doesn’t care about kinship?

He glanced at his ignorant second brother on the couch and snorted. “Then he only has himself to blame for what happened today.”

This was the brotherly love of the Ning Family’s old residence.

With this thought in mind, Second Aunt Ning went to the woodshed, lit the fire, and threw the fire lighter onto the woodpile.

Seeing her staggering out of the village, Yun San, who was secretly following her, asked Yun Wu, “Should we stop her?”

Yun Wu thought for a moment. “Let’s see what she wants to do first. I’ll follow her and you can report to Master.”

Second Aunt Ning found an abandoned straw hut and hid inside. Ignoring the cold and pain on her body, she gritted her teeth and took out a steamed bun that was not completely cold, forcing herself to eat it.

She had to live. She had to live to see those animals in the old residence die first!

As it was still early, everyone was awake. Old Madam Ning quickly noticed the fire she set. However, the old lady looked in the direction of the fire and only started to put out the fire after it spread to the toilet. She even specially shouted, “Ignore the toilet first. Put out the fire at the side first. It’ll be bad if it burns to the main house!”

Everyone thought about it and agreed. There was nothing valuable in the toilet, and the silver was in the main room with Little Uncle Ning and Little Aunt Ning!

It was rare for the two of them, who were usually extremely lazy, to be nimble. They were afraid that their house would be implicated. With everyone working together, when the villagers felt that something was wrong and rushed over to help put out the fire, half of the old residence had already been burned down, but the toilet was completely destroyed.

Of course, Old Madam Ning did this on purpose-what a joke. How could she explain it if others found out that Cuihua had died from the poison inside? Although burning down the house made her heart ache, compared to her youngest son’s future and her future wealthy lady’s identity, it was better to let Liu Cuihua’s corpse be burned more thoroughly. At that time, she would say that she was unlucky and was burned to death.

Old Madam Ning was mentally prepared to be sad when she heard the villager say, “Fortunately, it didn’t hurt anyone.”

Her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly went forward and searched the burned toilet, but she really did not stab anything with the stick. Where was she? Where was Liu Cuihua?

“Sigh, it’s so hot. Why isn’t your Fengcai coming out?”

Old Madam Ning calmed down. “He said that he wanted to sleep for a while and asked us not to disturb him. I thought that this fire didn’t reach the second branch’s room, so I didn’t pay much attention to him just now. Now that it’s fine, I’ll go take a look.”

After saying that, she staggered and grabbed a woman who came to help. Seeing that she could not even stand steadily, the woman could only call her man to shout for Fengcai.. Unexpectedly, as soon as the man entered, she heard a shout—”Quick, come quickly! Fengcai, Fengcai is hanging on the beam!”
