Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1274: The End of the Feng Family (Edited)
Old Mrs. Feng clenched her fists and knocked on the seemingly indestructible door again and again with all her strength.

Unfortunately, she was so weak from the poisoning that every knock seemed so powerless that it barely caused any echo in the quiet morning.

In another room, Boss Feng and his family were still immersed in sleep, unaware of her struggle.

Perhaps, Boss Feng knew it, but he felt very happy intuitively.

In the end, Old Mrs. Feng could only let her arms drop helplessly, her eyes fixed on the tightly closed door, eyes full of unwillingness.

The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, the woman forced herself to get out of bed early.

After getting up, she went to the mountain with a rope and an axe.

I picked up dry firewood on the ground as I walked. Occasionally, when I came across some thicker ones, I would take out my axe and cut them into appropriate sizes.

Although she was busy, she did not feel tired. She just wanted to pick up more firewood while it was still early, so that her children would not have to go to work every day and also have to squeeze in time to check.

The man injured his foot, and she wanted him to rest for two more days.

Half an hour later, she returned home sweating profusely, carrying a heavy bundle of firewood on her shoulders.

Without taking a break, she hurriedly put down the firewood, turned into the kitchen, and started preparing breakfast for the family.

Smoke rises up and the aroma of breakfast gradually spreads.

After making breakfast, the woman wiped the water off her hands with her scarf, turned around and looked towards her parents-in-law's room. The door was closed and it was quiet without a sound.

She walked forward and knocked on the door gently: "Mom, breakfast is ready, let's eat!"

No one answered the door, so the woman knocked harder and her voice became louder: "Mom, it's time for dinner!"

She shouted several times, but there was still no movement in the room.

She tried pushing the door, but found it was bolted.

An inexplicable panic surged in her heart. She banged on the door even harder, calling out anxiously: "Mom, Mom, please say something, Mom, please say something!"

There was a slight tremor in the woman's voice, and an ominous smell filled the air.

She hurried into the house, wanting to call her husband.

"Dad, wake up quickly, something bad has happened, there is no movement in my parents' room..."

But when they got into the house, they found that Boss Feng was not there.

He woke up his youngest son and asked, "Where's your father? Have you seen your father?"

The youngest son shook his head: "No."

Without bothering to look for Boss Feng, the woman ran to the main room and kicked the closed door with all her strength.

However, the sturdy bolt on the door did not budge at all, no matter how hard she tried, she could not budge it at all.

After realizing that she couldn't kick the door open with her strength, she turned around and rushed out of the house, heading straight for the nearest neighbor's house.

"Who is it? What's going on?"

Hearing a series of rapid and anxious calls from outside the door, Doctor Li quickly sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked quickly out.

As the only doctor in the village, he also has some privileges of his own.

For example, they don't have to go to work, and they don't have to get up at dawn in the morning like other team members. This is so that they can do some work early while the weather is not too hot, otherwise they will not be able to do their work when it gets hot by noon.

"Doctor Li, Doctor Li, there is no movement in my parents-in-law's room."

The woman's voice outside the door was almost choked with sobs, revealing endless fear and helplessness.

Doctor Li paused as he buttoned his clothes, then quickened his pace.

After getting dressed, he suddenly opened the door and saw a tear-stained face.
"Don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. What's going on?"

When he heard that there was no movement in the room of the old couple of the Feng family, and the door could not be opened, he shouted directly into the house: "Wife, I have to go to the Feng family immediately to check. You quickly go to the village to find more people and call more people to break the door open!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Dr. Li's wife turned around without any hesitation, and almost trotted to several neighboring houses, knocking on the doors one by one.

When they heard that something might have happened to the old couple of the Feng family, everyone put down their work without caring about anything else.

Some people who were eating stuffed the steamed bread into their mouths, chewed it casually for a few bites, swallowed it with their necks stretched out, wiped their mouths, and ran towards Feng's house.

When they arrived at Feng's house, Doctor Li was trying to break down the door with an axe.

"let me!"

Seeing that Doctor Li had obviously never worked before, a strong young man quickly stepped forward, took the axe, and with skillful movements, he chopped the locked door open in just a few strokes.

The door fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the scene inside the house came into view. Old Mrs. Feng stared outside the door in a frightening manner.

The woman confronted Old Lady Feng.

"Ah!" A scream rang out the next second.

The look on Old Mrs. Feng's face as if she would never close her eyes scared the others who came running over to help.

Doctor Li was brave enough to stretch out two fingers and try it on Mrs. Feng's nose.

After a brief silence, he whispered, "Stop shouting, the person is still alive."

He then used the heels of his hands to massage the Zhongwan point and several other acupoints that can induce vomiting.

But obviously, due to the long period of poisoning, Mrs. Feng's body was unable to respond effectively and vomiting was hopeless.

Doctor Li's brows were knitted tightly together, and he shook his head heavily: "This is too toxic. The conditions here are limited. I can't handle it. You must be sent to the hospital immediately."

After saying that, he turned around and continued to check the conditions of Old Man Feng and Old Man Feng. Every time he checked, his brows deepened with worry.

Old Man Feng's pulse had almost disappeared, and although Old Man Feng II was young, his life was also hanging by a thread, and his pulse was also extremely weak.

After a tense rescue, beads of sweat appeared on Doctor Li's forehead.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts and Feng Laoer's young physique, he gradually recovered his weak breathing.

However, Dr. Li did not show any sign of relaxation. He slowly stood up and sighed, "My ability is limited. I can only do this much. The rest depends on the doctors in the hospital."

At this moment, the team leader and the old branch secretary who heard the news rushed over one after another.

After entering the room, he got straight to the point without saying anything.

"How is the person?"

After learning that Old Mrs. Feng and Old Second Feng were still alive, he immediately ordered his men to remove the remaining door, and also removed the door in Old Second Feng's room, and carried the three people to the brigade headquarters.

When the team leader came over, he had already notified the tractor drivers in the team.

The tractor driver in the team has already started the tractor.

When they were halfway through carrying the load, the roar of the tractor came closer and stopped right next to them.

Everyone worked together to transfer the patient to the tractor, and the team leader was the first to climb onto the vehicle.

As the captain of the village, when something so big happened, he had to follow no matter what.

The old branch secretary looked around and noticed that the eldest brother of the Feng family was not there. He couldn't help but frowned: "Mr. Feng, where is Mr. Feng?"

The woman finally calmed down a little, suppressing her inner fear and panic, while trying to find an excuse for her man: "Maybe he went to the mountain to collect firewood."

The captain also frowned, but didn't say anything else at this critical moment: "Don't look for Boss Feng, send him to the hospital first to see if he can be saved."

After saying that, he looked at the woman again: "Your parents-in-law and brother-in-law are in this state now, someone from your family has to go."

Before she finished speaking, the woman nodded hastily: "Captain, I'll go, I'll go." Seeing this, the old branch secretary's expression eased a little, and then he comforted her: "Don't worry, the children at home will stay at my house for one night."

After hearing this, the woman burst into tears of gratitude and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, old secretary. Thank you, old secretary."

The old branch secretary waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the hospital quickly."

Watching the tractor leave, the old branch secretary looked gloomy: "What's the big deal?"

Although Doctor Li did not say it explicitly, he has lived for so many years after all, and he can tell some things based on his experience.

From the looks of the old couple and the second son of the Feng family, it was obvious that they had eaten rat poison.

The old couple in the Feng family are not stupid. They can’t possibly eat the rat poison themselves, right?
Thinking of this, the old branch secretary couldn't help but sigh: "Ah!"

This year has been an eventful one.

There's been a constant stream of shit going on since the beginning of the year, and now this has happened again.

Their team has now become famous in the neighborhood.

But the old branch secretary would rather not have this reputation.

Such a big incident involved three lives, and the brigade absolutely could not cover it up.

As soon as the person was sent to the hospital, the hospital called the police.

When the police came, they first asked a few questions and finally turned their attention to Feng Lao Da's wife.

According to the villagers who followed, although the old couple of the Feng family were not very nice people and many people looked down on them for being biased, they had never made enemies with anyone.

The old couple of the Feng family are relatively normal in front of outsiders, except for targeting their eldest son's family.

In this case, the first suspect is the eldest son of the Feng family and his wife.

Soon, the woman was taken away for questioning.

"Name?"

"..."

"age?"

"..."

After asking some basic information, the interrogating police officer suddenly asked: "Do you hate your in-laws?"

The woman was stunned, licked her slightly dry lips, and answered hesitantly: "It's not hatred, I just feel sorry for my man. He works hard but still has to endure the bullying every day."

Police: "Then you gave them rat poison."

After these words were spoken, the woman shook her head frantically.

"I didn't, I didn't give them rat poison, police comrade, I really didn't!"

The police officer in charge of recording put down his pen and stared at her: "Then why did you buy meat yesterday?"

They have checked and found that the rat was lodged in the meat.

The woman trembled all over and replied, "It's my husband. He injured his foot and couldn't go to work in the past few days. My parents-in-law were a little unhappy, so my husband asked me to buy some meat to nourish my parents-in-law."

The police continued to interrogate: "From what we know, the two old people in the Feng family favor the youngest son. They didn't leave any meat for you yesterday and gave it all to the youngest son. Aren't you angry?"

The woman wiped away her tears and said, "I just feel bad for the children at home. I bought so much meat, but they didn't even get to eat a bite.

Police comrades, tell me, who could bear this?

It doesn’t matter to my wife and I whether we eat it or not, but the children are our grandchildren, and they are so cruel as to not give them a bite…”

The woman felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, as if she was telling out years of grievances, and tears fell down her face.

After crying for a while, the woman looked up and said, "Comrade police officer, I am unhappy, but I would never do such a thing as poisoning someone."

"..."

"..."

After half an hour, the questioning ended.

Looking at the record in the notebook, one of the police officers asked, "Do you think she drugged me?"

Without letting the other person speak, he continued, "She doesn't look like a vicious person to me."

Another policeman glanced at him calmly and shook his head: "I won't make any comments until there is evidence."

Don't judge people by their appearance!
Without solid evidence, who knows if it's fake or not.

People in their line of work cannot believe anything except evidence.

The two looked at each other and changed the subject in tacit understanding.

"The most suspicious person now is the eldest son of the Feng family. Haven't you found him yet?"

"No, I don't know where he went."

Because they were quite far away, it was already noon when Zhang Yu learned that the old couple of the Feng family and Feng Lao Er had been poisoned.

The news came from the captain who had just returned from the hospital.

After hearing this news, Zhang Yu's first reaction was: "Did Boss Feng poison you?"

The captain paused while drinking his tea, and turned to look at Zhang Yu: "Why are you so suspicious?"

Although he also suspected Boss Feng.

He knew that Boss Feng was not a good person, and there was a high possibility that he was TW.

But he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that the old couple of the Feng family were, after all, Boss Feng's parents. Even if this man was vicious, he wouldn't want to poison his own parents.

Zhang Yu did not argue with the captain.

Mainly, there is no point in arguing about this.

We will soon know whether it was Boss Feng who poisoned us.

The captain obviously thought of this as well, and he sighed.

"I have always thought that the Xie family team is relatively easy to manage in the surrounding villages. At most, some team members like to take advantage of small things, but there is really no one with malicious intentions.

But I never thought that such a venomous snake was hidden in the brigade..."

The captain rubbed his aching forehead and said, "I just hope that the impact of this incident can be smaller and not affect the marriage of young people."

Speaking of this, the captain became very worried.

The Tugouzi Brigade was in the lead. Because of the incident between Wang San and Wang Goudan, the boys from the Tugouzi Brigade had become a hot commodity. When people from the nearby villages heard that the other party was a boy from the Tugouzi Brigade, many of them became unhappy.

I hope that Boss Feng’s incident will not implicate the children in their village who are almost reaching adulthood.

"Hey!"

Listening to the captain's repeated sighs, Xie Zhiyuan could only silently continue to refill his tea.

What can I say about this matter? The impact has definitely been felt. Now we can only hope that the higher-ups can keep the fact that Boss Feng is a TW secret and try their best to minimize the impact.
