"No one was killed, but..."

Jiang Shuyue couldn't wait any longer, "Get in the car, and talk while we walk."

After Lin Huaiyang got on the carriage, his breathing returned to normal. "Those workers had vomiting and diarrhea after breakfast. I came to you when I saw the situation was not good. Now I don't know what's going on!"

Vomiting and diarrhea?

Jiang Shuyue's first reaction was that something had gone bad, but she was not such a vicious person and would not feed the workers with bad food. The vegetables were picked from each family's vegetable garden, and the meat was placed in the well after it was bought. Everyone preserved it in this way, and it would not go bad in a day or two.

Every household does this. Some people buy some meat and are reluctant to eat it, and some people eat it for ten days. They also use the same method.

If it wasn't something I ate wrong, then someone might have drugged me, right?

On the way home, Jiang Shuyue passed by a pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs.

People work for her, so there must be no problems.

Jiang Shuyue drove the car and went straight to the construction site without even going home.

Foreman Hu looked unhappy and weak, and apologized to Jiang Shuyue, "I'm so sorry, I delayed the construction for a day, so today's wages will not be counted."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me see what's going on with you."

Foreman Hu didn't know Jiang Shuyue could treat illnesses. Jiang Shuyue took his wrist and put her fingers on his pulse. Then he understood, "Madam can treat illnesses, too?"

"It's okay for some minor illnesses." After Jiang Shuyue said this, she looked at his pulse carefully with a frown. Everyone didn't dare to disturb her, but their hearts were in pain.

"How is it?" Lin Huaiyang asked.

"It's nothing serious. I'll go make some medicine for you brothers and you'll be fine after you drink it."

Lin Huaiyang wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Shuyue glanced at him and he immediately shut up.

"Brother Hu, you and the brothers should have a good rest. I will be back soon."

"Okay, okay, ma'am, so many people are vomiting and having diarrhea, I'm afraid the situation is not simple, right?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "I'll find out."

Foreman Hu was really exhausted. He had made eight or nine trips in the morning, and all he pulled was water. He felt exhausted.

As soon as he saw Jiang Shuyue leave, he hurriedly looked for a place to relieve himself.

"Are they infectious diseases?" Lin Huaiyang was a little scared.

Otherwise, how could so many people suffer from diarrhea?

Jiang Shuyue's answer was very affirmative, "No."

"Did you eat something bad?"

Jiang Shuyue shook her head, "Not really."

"That's..." Lin Huaiyang's eyes widened, "Someone is doing something bad?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Yeah."

She didn't mean to lie, but in order not to cause panic among the workers, she didn't tell anyone for the time being.

"Who?"

"I don't know." Jiang Shuyue said.

She really didn't know, so maybe she could find a clue if she went back and asked.

When Jiang Shuyue returned home, the old couple of the Xiao family and Niu Aifang were all there, and Chen Feng was also lying there sleeping soundly.

"Are you okay?"

Niu Aifang looked at Lin Huaiyang, a little confused, "What do you mean? What's wrong with us?"

She didn't look at Lin Huaiyang, but at Jiang Shuyue. "Didn't you say you would come back when it was almost dark? Why did you come back at noon?"

Jiang Shuyue told the workers about their situation and then asked Old Lady Xiao to prepare the medicine.

"Why are you still vomiting and having diarrhea? Is everyone like this?" Niu Aifang asked.

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Yes, everyone is like this, no one is immune."

"What's going on? My uncle, aunt, Chen Feng and I all eat the same porridge and steamed buns. How come we are fine?"

Lin Huaiyang couldn't wait any longer, "Shu Yue said someone drugged me."

"Who... who? It's not me, Shuyue. Believe me, it's definitely not me. I will continue to make money with you in the future. I've already said that I will never do anything to let you down. How could I do anything?"

Niu Aifang found Lin Huaiyang looking at her, and she got angry, "Why are you looking at me? I said it wasn't me."

"You delivered the meal."

"It was me who gave it to you, right?" Niu Aifang was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Jiang Shuyue signaled the two to stop arguing, "Sister Aifang, I'm not doubting you, but we had a good meal at home, and something went wrong when you delivered it. Think about it, did you run into anyone in the process?"

"No...no!" Niu Aifang cried, "I really didn't."

Jiang Shuyue trusts Niu Aifang, so there is no reason for her to ruin her future. If she is not stupid, she will just make things difficult for herself, which will not do her any good.

"Are you sure you haven't met anyone?"

"No."

Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath and asked, "Is the wooden barrel for delivering food still there?"

"Yes...but I'll wash it when I get back."

Jiang Shuyue went outside and picked up the wooden barrel that was heated by the sun. She sniffed it. Her sense of smell was different from that of ordinary people, and she did smell some laxative.

"There's a laxative in this."

Niu Aifang didn't doubt what Jiang Shuyue said, she just couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"Don't be anxious. Think back to the time when I left the house this morning when you came in. Then, tell me what you did one by one."

Niu Aifang nodded. "As soon as you left, I loaded the porridge bucket, the bucket for steamed buns, and the pickled vegetables onto the wheelbarrow. When I got to the door, I realized I had forgotten the pickled vegetables, so I went back to get them, but there wasn't much left. Then I pushed the cart all the way to the construction site, and they came over to take it, and we ate it."

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "The problem should have occurred when you went back to get the pickles."

"Ah..." Niu Aifang opened her mouth in shock. "Who is so wicked? That's a matter of life and death. How can they be so mean? If you have any problem, just come to me openly."

Jiang Shuyue shook her head, "It shouldn't be directed at you, but at me."

"It's you. There's no one else who did it. It must be someone from your uncle's family." Niu Aifang said without thinking.

Lin Huaiyang also felt that it was Jiang Xiwang's family that must be involved. "Shuyue, they are the only family in our village that has a grudge against you. They have repeatedly caused trouble for you before. It's too much. I'll tell my father and ask him to bring people to settle accounts with them."

Jiang Shuyue stopped the angry Lin Huaiyang and said, "Wait, Brother Huaiyang, we don't have any evidence."

"What more evidence do you need? It must be them."

Jiang Shuyue's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's let the person who drugged us come forward himself."

"Can he come forward on his own?" Niu Aifang thought it was unlikely. "He's not stupid, Shu Yue, are you so angry that you're confused? The person who drugged you must have hidden himself. How can you go out on the street and shout, 'It was me who drugged you?'"

Jiang Shuyue curled her lips and said firmly: "He won't shout, but he will stand up on his own. We can only settle the score with him after we catch him red-handed!"
