Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

In the following days, Deng Yongliang became extremely honest and spoke politely. His wife was still not willing to give in and wanted to argue with Xia Qingqing, but he tried his best to stop her.

"Do you want to be a widow? We can't afford to offend Xia Qingqing. She is... that... that... the leader of the Five Poison Sect, He Tieshou. You know He Tieshou, right? He's covered in poison. If you touch him, you'll die. If you want your man to die, go ahead and make a scene. Then you'll have to raise the child alone!"

Deng Yongliang finally thought of someone who could accurately describe Xia Qingqing. She is as beautiful as a flower, but cruel and ruthless, and has all the five evils. Isn't this the living He Tieshou?

"What do you mean by He Tieshou and He Jinshou? I knew you were a coward. How could I have been so blind to marry a loser like you? I can't even get my own store back. I have to watch the money go into other people's pockets. You and I have to live a hard life of eating bran and pickles every day!"

Deng Yongliang’s wife had never read Jin Yong’s books, so she didn’t know who He Tieshou was. She only knew that she couldn’t open a store and couldn’t make a lot of money.

So, she was very angry and furious, and wanted to find Xia Qingqing to get back at her.

"When did I ever ask you to eat bran and pickles? Qian Huiling, you have to speak with conscience!"

Deng Yongliang was furious. People scolded him as a coward every day. He also had a temper.

"Are you going to let me live a good life? Look at the clothes I'm wearing, they were made two years ago. My sisters are now wearing gold and silver jewelry and are dressed very fashionably. Even that Xu Yanfang, how could she compare to me when she was in school? Humph, when I went back to my parents' home last month, you didn't see how arrogant she was, showing off in front of me and saying such ugly things. You can tolerate this tone, but I can't!"

The more Qian Huiling scolded, the more she felt aggrieved. She used to be considered an outstanding girl in the alley, but she was the only one who picked on others. Xu Yanfang could not compare to her in terms of appearance, study, or family background.

What made her even more angry was that the man Xu Yanfang married was the one she chose.

At the beginning, she had high standards and looked down on ordinary men. The man Xu Yanfang married came from a poor family, was a little short, and worked in a bad company. He was not as good as Deng Yongliang in any aspect. In the first few years of their marriage, every time she went back to her parents' home and met Xu Yanfang, she felt particularly superior. But now the situation is reversed, and it is Xu Yanfang who comes to show off in front of her.

She couldn't tolerate this humiliation no matter what. She had to make a lot of money to regain the face she had lost.

She had inquired around and found out that Xu Yanfang's husband resigned two years ago and set up a shoe-shining stall. He did the lowest-level job, but made a lot of money. If she opened a clothing store, she would definitely make more money. Xu Yanfang couldn't catch up with her even if she rode a horse.

"Why do you compare yourself with others every day? Why don't you tell me how you provoked Xu Yanfang in the past? You showed off in front of her a lot at the beginning. Now the situation has changed, and you can't stand it anymore?"

Deng Yongliang said something fair. In the past, his wife had provoked Xu Yanfang a lot, but now Xu Yanfang was easier to talk to. In fact, it wasn't that much of a provocation. It was just that his wife was mentally fragile and couldn't stand any provocation.

"Whose husband are you anyway? Okay, I knew you couldn't be relied on. Don't worry about this. I'll do it!"

Qian Huiling glared fiercely and walked away angrily.

Deng Yongliang didn't bother to care anymore. Anyway, Xia Qingqing would definitely teach his wife a lesson when the time came.

Sure enough, an hour later, Qian Huiling came back dejected. Her hair and clothes seemed to be wet, and her face was pale. As soon as she got home, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

Deng Yongliang was very familiar with this scene; he had just experienced it a few days ago.

"Do you believe it now? I told you long ago that Xia Qingqing is He Tieshou and is not someone you can easily mess with, but you still don't believe it? How long will the antidote she gave you last?"

Deng Yongliang poured hot water as if he was familiar with the process, wet a towel and asked his wife to wipe her face.

"One... one month. If I behave well, they will give me the antidote. Yongliang... will I die?"

Qian Huiling's lips were still trembling. The excruciating pain she felt before seemed to have not disappeared yet. And Xia Qingqing's gentle yet terrifying smile made her see a living, beautiful snake with her own eyes.

She had no doubt that Xia Qingqing could kill her without anyone noticing.

"Yongliang, will I disappear without a trace? What about the child? You can't find a stepmother..."

Qian Huiling was almost scared to death and cried while grabbing Deng Yongliang.

Deng Yongliang was angry at first. Why was the antidote given to him only effective for a week, but the antidote given to his wife effective for a month? Xia Qingqing was too partial.

However, seeing his wife crying so miserably, he was really scared, so he had to comfort her first.

"Don't make trouble anymore. Go to work honestly. For our father's sake, Xia Qingqing won't kill us."

Deng Yongliang now understood that Xia Qingqing had a hundred ways to make him and his wife disappear, but she used the gentlest one, probably out of consideration for his father's kindness. Therefore, as long as they behaved themselves, they should be able to keep their lives.

"No more trouble, no more trouble."

Qian Huiling nodded vigorously. Just now she really thought she was going to die. Suddenly she realized that nothing was as important as life and death.

Xu Yanfang, making a lot of money, none of that matters to her. She just wants to live a good life.

From then on, the couple became completely well-behaved and didn't even dare to linger in front of the store, for fear that people would think they were going to cause trouble again.

Only a week later, Uncle Deng hurried back. He had been having a great time during the first few days playing outside, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Under his questioning, the old woman finally told the truth, which made him so angry that he canceled his next trip and bought a ticket back.

After returning home, Uncle Deng found out from the neighbors about the beastly things his youngest son had done. He called Deng Yongliang home and gave him a severe lesson.

Deng Yongliang cried and told Uncle Deng how he and his wife had been poisoned, but Uncle Deng didn't believe it at all. He took off his shoes and beat him up again.

"Qingqing, a little girl, poisoned you? You are jumping around like a toad now. What kind of poison did you get? Deng Yongliang, you are such a useless person. How could I have given birth to someone like you?"

"This house belongs to me. I can rent it to whoever I want. The rent is 300 yuan a year. Qingqing originally paid more than others. You still want to kick me out? Who do you think you are? It's not your turn, Deng Yongliang, to be the head of this family. If you don't feel comfortable living here, get out and don't come back again!"

"And you too, if you keep messing around with this beast, we'll break up and get a divorce!"

This time, Uncle Deng didn't even give face to his wife. The mother and daughter teamed up to deceive him and brought shame to him. How can he face Xiao Xia in the future?

The next day after returning, Uncle Deng went to Xia Qingqing to apologize and wanted to return the rent, saying that he was too embarrassed to accept it.

"Uncle Deng, this matter has nothing to do with you, and Deng Yongliang and his wife can't do anything to me. I just use a little trick and they will behave themselves." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

"How do you keep them quiet?"

Uncle Deng humbly asked for advice. He had to learn something so that he could deal with his disobedient son in the future.

Xia Qingqing took out a black pill and asked Uncle Deng to taste it.

Uncle Deng chewed it and tasted it carefully. It tasted sour and sweet, and it tasted strangely familiar. So he asked, "Is it Yanjin jujube?"

"Yes, it's good for your appetite and digestion. I gave your son and daughter-in-law some salted dates and lied to them that it was poison and that they had to take the antidote every month. Now they are behaving themselves."

Xia Qingqing did not hide the fact that she had indeed fed them Yanjin dates. The reason why Deng Yongliang and his wife had unbearable abdominal pain was because she had pierced their acupuncture points with silver needles. It had nothing to do with what they ate.

Uncle Deng gave a thumbs up in admiration and discussed with Xia Qingqing that he would give her the antidote in the future. On the way back, Uncle Deng weighed half a pound of Yanjin dates and fed one to his youngest son and daughter-in-law every month. He kept them well behaved and there was peace at home.
