However, things did not go as planned. Chen Ada could not wait any longer to pay off his gambling debts, so they took a risky move and thought of blackmail.

But they were reluctant to poison their son, and Aunt Wu refused to give in despite threats and inducements. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Ada had no choice but to feed the child some calming soup, which led to the farce before their eyes.

"Hey, what a vicious mother and son!"

After Aunt Wu recounted what had happened to the bailiff, the onlookers became so angry that they picked up pebbles from the roadside and threw them at Chen Ada and her son.

"Yes, yes. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but these two are so heartless that they can use these ignorant children to murder them. How inhumane!"

"That's right, he really has so many thoughts in mind, he's unworthy of being a father!"

The onlookers continued to curse, and the yamen runner nearby saw this and waited for the crowd to vent their anger before slowly stepping forward.

"Okay, okay, don't throw them all away. Mrs. Chen and Chen Ada have slandered, blackmailed and harmed infants and young children. Take them back to the county government first, and then find out the reason and deal with them."

Most of the yamen runners were watching the scene before them. They already knew what had happened, but they still had to go through the necessary procedures.

They naturally did not feel ashamed of the mother and son of the Chen family, so they waited until everyone had vented their anger before taking them away.

Then they asked some more questions, and after the bailiffs left, Lengji Snack Shop returned to peace.

Seeing that Aunt Wu looked weak, Leng Yan asked someone to help her into the room in the backyard.

"My daughter, this..."

Zhang Cuiniang, who had just settled Aunt Wu, came over with a sigh, looking like she didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, mother. The mother and son of the Chen family have been arrested. Our shop has not been affected. There is evidence of the injuries suffered by Aunt Wu. I believe there will be a good result."

The commotion just now really affected her mood. Leng Yan took two steps forward, stopped Zhang Cuiniang and pushed her into the kitchen.

"Mom, don't think too much. Let's go to the kitchen and make some chicken soup for Aunt Wu."

"Row."

Thinking of Aunt Wu who had just suffered a miscarriage and looked so skinny, Zhang Cuiniang sighed again, what a poor person she was.

A few days later, the results of the treatment of Chen's mother and son came out. There was conclusive evidence of poisoning and blackmail, and they were sentenced to two years in prison.

When he heard about the money that Chen Ada owed to the casino, he was glad that he would not have to pay it back since he was in jail, or he could just put it off until later. Anyway, he was already in jail and no one could do anything to him.

Chen Ada held this idea in mind, but he didn't expect that the people in the casino were not pushovers either.

They are all people who can open casinos. They must have some connections behind them, otherwise such a profitable business would not work without someone to protect them.

Chen Ada never thought that the casino's hands could reach into the prison.

On the first day Chen Ada was imprisoned, he was taken good care of by his cellmates, who beat him so hard that he cried for his parents.

The Leng family was not surprised when they received the news, and Zhang Cuiniang also told Aunt Wu about the result.

Aunt Wu burst into tears after hearing this, for no reason, just to vent. She has been recuperating since then.

After such a noisy event, the Lantern Festival arrived.

The weather was still cold, and getting up every day was a big task. Leng Yan climbed up from the kang and put on his clothes. As soon as he entered the kitchen with his neck shrunk, he was aroused by the aroma of fermented rice wine.

"Sister Yan is awake, come over and have a bowl of sweet wine to warm your body."

Leng Su, who was standing behind the stove, waved at her with a smile, "My sister-in-law got up early in the morning and cooked it. She said it's the same way it's cooked in Beijing. We've all tried it. It's so fragrant and delicious!"
