Chapter 278: Not enough medicine
When Lou walked outside her mother-in-law's room, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had just reached an agreement.
"Mom, don't worry, when the new daughter-in-law comes home, I will let my daughter-in-law be the first to be filial to you!"
"Yes, Third Sister-in-law is right. The first thing a new daughter-in-law should do is to be filial to her mother. Without her mother, there would be no such thing as this family today!" said the Fourth Sister-in-law happily.
Xiao Ma from the second son's family was a little unhappy because the person who was finally decided to marry was her eighteen-year-old second son.
Even if her youngest son got married, she would feel better, but it was the second son whom she disliked the most that made Ma feel unhappy.
When the two sisters-in-law saw this, they understood what Xiao Ma was worried about and tried to persuade her gently.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so depressed. It's better to have a daughter-in-law than not to have one."
"Yes, second sister-in-law, you still have a daughter-in-law coming home! But the big house has nothing! You should be content with looking for someone!" The fourth sister-in-law also followed suit and gave a few words of advice.
The two of them were talking in a loud voice, and Lou, who was outside the house, happened to hear it.
When Lou heard what her two sisters-in-law said in the room, her breathing became heavier.
Because she had no son, her sisters-in-law never took her seriously, always making fun of her and fanning the flames in front of her mother-in-law.
Lou took a deep breath and opened the door.
Lou walked into the room, without even looking at her sisters-in-law, and with her head down, she said:
"Mom, I want to take Xiaocao to town to check his brain..."
Before Mrs. Lou could finish her words, a worn-out shoe was thrown on her head, followed by the sound of Mrs. Ma's curses in the room.
"She's just a money-loser. If she's stupid, then so be it. Why waste that money? Is she worthy of spending so much money? This money is to be saved for the children in the family to marry. How can you two, mother and daughter, squander it?"
Lou was hit by dirty shoes, but she didn't dare to hide. She endured the pain on her forehead and mustered up her courage, "Mom, the money was lent by Doctor Shen to treat the child..."
Seeing that Lou dared to talk back, Ma jumped up and hit Lou with her other shoe, "Who do you think you are? Doctor Shen lent you money? You are so shameless! I'm telling you, this money has nothing to do with you. If you love it, then live with it. If you don't want to live with it anymore, take your silly daughter and get out of my Gu family!"
Lou didn't dare to fight back. She could only hold her head, shrink on the ground, and sit motionless, allowing Old Ma to vent her dissatisfaction.
The three sisters-in-law nearby watched the scene with smiles on their faces, and no one of them intended to persuade the mother-in-law.
Such scenes are very common in the Gu family. At the beginning, the three sisters-in-law were a little uncomfortable with it, but after so many years, they have long been accustomed to it, and even regard Lou's embarrassment as a joke.
Lou hunched over, holding her head with her arms as she endured Ma's anger. Out of the corner of her eye she happened to see a few sisters-in-law standing by with smiles on their faces as if they were watching a show.
Thinking back over the years, she, as the eldest sister-in-law, had been beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law under the noses of her younger sisters-in-law. A hint of resentment flashed in Lou's eyes hidden in her arms.
Lou stood in the room, allowing Old Ma to beat and scold her without crying or shouting. After Old Ma had vented her anger, she felt it was meaningless, and since she was old and lacked physical strength, she stopped.
Old Ma said with a sullen face, "Lou, who gave you the courage to come here and talk nonsense? Is the meal ready?"
"Done...done...well," Lou replied in a low voice.
"Okay, go feed the pigs. You and that idiot are not allowed to eat today!" Old Ma waved her hand at Lou impatiently.
Lou's eyes darkened, she said nothing, lowered her head and hunched her back as she left the house in the front yard.
Soon, all the Gu family members gathered together and set a table in the main room. The porridge and vegetables from the kitchen were brought into the main room, and no food was left in the pot for the Lou mother and daughter.
Mrs. Lou held her daughter and sat by the bed without saying a word.
"Hungry..." Xiaocao said slowly with drooling.
Lou's heart ached and she hugged her daughter tightly, but her body still couldn't stop shaking.
No one knew how long it had been, but when Lou was getting anxious, she finally heard the sound of a bowl being thrown to the ground in the front yard.
Immediately afterwards, screams and groans of pain from Old Ma and others were heard from the front yard.
At this time, darkness had already fallen. As the weather grew colder, the villagers of Taohua Village began to have dinner earlier and earlier. After dinner, before it got dark, the villagers went indoors to sleep early.
Today, the old Ma mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the matter of getting married, and they didn't have dinner until very late. At this time, the Gu family was poisoned, and none of the neighbors next door noticed it for a while.
Liu Jinfeng and Er Gouzi, who lived nearby, did hear the noise from the Gu family, but they had not forgotten what old Ma did during the day and were afraid of being blackmailed, so they naturally did not meddle in other people's business.
On the other side, Feng's husband heard the noise and was about to go to the next door to take a look. Feng grabbed her husband and said, "Why are you going? Aren't you afraid of being blackmailed by that old hag? How much money do you have to pay?"
As Feng spoke, she rolled her eyes at the person next to her.
That afternoon, Mrs. Ma said that she wanted to borrow some money from Doctor Shen, but everyone knew that the money would never be returned.
When Mr. Feng heard this, he remembered what Mrs. Ma had done in the afternoon and felt sad for a moment.
Doctor Shen has money to borrow, but he doesn't have that much money to be blackmailed.
In the end, Feng's man did not go out to check the situation.
At the Gu family, the big pot of vegetable porridge was divided into more than twenty portions. Each person would only have one bowl of vegetable porridge at most. The only difference was that the porridge for men was thicker, while the porridge for women and children was thinner.
All the rat poison in the broken bowl was poured into the vegetable porridge, and not much was left in each person's bowl.
The Gu family finished drinking the vegetable porridge, and after a while, the effect of the medicine began to take effect.
Because the dosage was not enough, after the Gu family finished eating the vegetable porridge, they started to have stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting after a while.
The two old guys, Mrs. Ma and Mr. Gu, ate the most and were the oldest, so their conditions were the most serious.
The two old guys held their stomachs and lay on the table with painful looks on their faces. After a while, they slowly fell into coma.
At this time, the others were busy going to the toilet. It was dark and they didn't notice the situation of the two old guys at all.
The smell from the toilet next door soon drifted into Lou's room. She listened to the noise from the toilet next door and felt a little lost.
Isn’t it said that arsenic used to poison rats is the most poisonous?
She remembered that when she was a child, there was a mother-in-law in her mother's village who died from eating arsenic used to poison rats. How come those people outside were still fine?
Lou couldn't figure it out.
The person in the front yard was vomiting and defecating for most of the night, until he was exhausted and lay on the bed without the strength to move. Only then did the Gu family yard become quiet.
Ever since the eldest son of the Gu family was driven to the room next to the toilet, the eldest son of the Gu family disliked the smell of the room and never went back to sleep. He slept in the rooms of his nephews every day.
In the first half of the night, while coaxing her daughter to sleep, Lou listened to the noise in front. When it became quiet, she quietly walked out of the house, came to the front yard, and entered her mother-in-law's room in the dark.
She entered the house and skillfully found where Old Ma had hidden the silver.
She often cleaned the house for Old Ma, and after going back and forth so many times, she had already figured out where Old Ma hid the silver.
Lou found a small wooden box in the secret compartment under the bed.
