"He Chu, you are already an adult, don't you understand that the mouth can cause trouble?

Widow Tian had a bad reputation, but who saw her sleeping with a man? Or did she destroy someone's family?

Besides, who wants to be a widow? Who doesn't want a husband who is still alive, two children, and a happy family?

It's not her turn to decide this matter of fate.

The country has no regulations that prohibit widows from remarrying.

Even if she really had something with the salesperson from the meat processing factory, I think it is reasonable for them to be unmarried."

"I don't think Widow Tian is as bad as the rumors on the island say.

Widows are always surrounded by gossip, and in this tense era, if she hadn’t gone against the grain, she would have been bullied a long time ago.”

"Think about it from another angle. The more reckless and aggressive she is, the quieter the house will be. Isn't this also another way to protect herself?"

Zuo Zixuan pointed at He Chu's head and lectured.

She is a person from the future. It is no exaggeration to say that she has seen and heard more than He Chu has.

She could see through Widow Tian's reverse thinking at a glance.

Widow Tian, ​​who was walking behind them, heard Zixuan's words, silently put the rolling pin back, and then tears flowed down like a spring.

Just like Zuo Zixuan said, who wants to be a widow?

She married Jiang Jiquan at the age of seventeen. Although her family was not wealthy, the couple was happy and loving.

Ten years ago, Jiang Jiquan went out to sea with other young people in the village. On the way back, they suddenly encountered a tsunami.

The wind and waves were so strong that night that Jiang Jiquan was unlucky and was injured by the mast that was blown down by the hurricane.

Less than three days after she was brought back, she died. She became a widow at such a young age.

In the first one or two years, everything seemed peaceful, but as time went on, the men on the island gradually became dishonest.

Whenever I go to her house, I either borrow a broom, a dustpan, a ladle, or...

Anyway, they went to her house with all kinds of excuses, and the bold ones started to touch her.

There was really no other way, she could only protect herself by doing the opposite.

Ever since something happened five years ago, she would lock the door of her house every evening and never go out.

Even when I go out in broad daylight, I always carry a rolling pin with me, for fear of encountering bad people.

She had really had a very hard life over the past ten years.

Sometimes she even wanted to give up living and follow Jiang Jiquan to end it all.

But she is a loser and doesn't even have the courage to die.

Since I don't have the courage to die, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

After hearing what Zuo Zixuan said, the corners of He's mouth slightly raised.

She was becoming more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law. If He Yi dared to ask for a divorce again, she would drive him out of the house and make him become a monk.

Everyone went back talking and laughing, and at the door, they happened to meet Zhou Xier who came out of the house.

Whenever He's mother saw Zhou Xier in the past, she felt guilty and was always polite to her.

But ever since the Zhou family proposed to arrange a job for Zhou Xier if they broke off the engagement, she now feels disgusted with Zhou Xier as if she were a greedy rat.

She just nodded politely to Zhou Xier, without introducing her to Zuo Zixuan, and turned around and went into the house.

He Chuna was careless and introduced the two people enthusiastically.

"Xuanxuan, this is Sister Xier."

"Sister Xier, this is my second brother's wife, Zuo Zixuan."

Zuo Zixuan looked Zhou Xier up and down with a smile on her face, feeling amused. Oh, it seems that underneath this honest and decent face, this girl hides a sultry heart.

She generously reached out her hand and held Zhou Xier's hand, "Hello, we are all family from now on. Although you are my third brother's fiancée, you are older than me. From now on, just call me Xuanxuan."

The moment she held Zhou Xier, countless images flashed through her mind.

She said that this girl has a sultry heart underneath her appearance, and it really is true.

Zhou Xier was startled when her hand was suddenly held.

Seeing Zuo Zixuan smiling and looking at her without blinking, she felt uneasy in her heart, as if she had been seen through by the girl opposite her.

She quickly pulled her hand back, her face pale as she said, "I have to go back to work..."

Then he took three or two steps down the stairs and ran away without looking back.

Zuo Zixuan looked at the fleeing figure meaningfully. Perhaps, if He Fan broke off the engagement with this girl, the He family wouldn't have to spend a penny.

"Huh? I heard that Sister Xier took a leave today. Why is she still going to work?" He Chu stretched his neck and looked at Zhou Xier's back as she ran away, and said curiously.

"I just don't want to stay here any longer, so I just found an excuse to leave."

Zuo Zixuan hummed a little tune and walked into the house as if she didn't recognize anyone.

"My children, your mother has returned home..."

She stood at the door and shouted, but after standing there for a few minutes she didn't see Qiao Qingyu and the fat boy running out, which made her feel strange.

Usually, as soon as I walk in the door, the two children rush out like atomic bombs. What happened today?

He Chu came in from the door and burst out laughing.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the young mistress returned home today, but no one lined up to welcome her?"

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. These two guys were either tripped up by something delicious or something fun and came out to greet me.

Zuo Zixuan raised his eyebrows and walked straight to the inner courtyard.

As soon as I entered the archway, I saw Qiao Qingyu and the fat boy standing beside He Fan's chair, staring at a bag of white cakes on the small coffee table with their sparkling eyes.

"Uncle San, I've never seen this kind of pastry. Can we try it?" Qiao Qingyu pointed at the white cake on the table and asked like a curious baby.

He Fan reached out and picked up the towel on the table and wiped his hands, "Wait a minute, I'll cut it for you."

Zuo Zixuan walked over and sat down on the chair next to him, pouting and saying:

"You two greedy cats, you really got tripped up by a little white cake..."

Zuo Zixuan sat down, and Qiao Qingyu and the fat boy came to their senses and snuggled into Zuo Zixuan's arms.

"Mom, you're back? We missed you so much..."

"Mom, I miss you, I miss you..."

Qiao Qingyu and Xiaopangdun quickly flattered him.

Zuo Zixuan hugged the person in his arms and pinched one of them on the face.

“Miss me?

This is pure nonsense. I think my position in your eyes is not as good as a piece of white cake. "

"Mother……"

"Okay, it's cut. Wipe your hands and eat it yourself." Before Qiao Qingyu finished speaking, He Fan called the two of them to eat.

The two little guys were still acting coquettishly and saying they missed Zuo Zixuan one second ago, and the next second they immediately turned around to take the white cake on the table.

Zuo Zixuan looked at the two guys' synchronized movements with a numb expression.

really……

Two foodies.

She was a little skeptical. Could it be that these two guys were really like He Chu said, staying with her only because the food she cooked was delicious?

When the two children got the white cake, they didn't put it into their mouths immediately.

Each person took a small piece and handed it to Zuo Zixuan's mouth.

"Mom, eat..."

"Mom, eat..."

Zuo Zixuan's expression immediately turned gloomy, and she said with great relief: "Mom, no..."

Before he could finish his words, his face suddenly changed. He grabbed the two children's hands and took the white cake from their hands.

The two children were a little confused, but they didn't cry.

He just blinked his big eyes and looked at Zuo Zixuan curiously.

Zuo Zixuan frowned, brought the white cake to his nose and smelled it again and again, then broke the white cake open and smelled inside.

A bitter smell and the smell of metallic rust, this seems to be...

The fat boy thought Zuo Zixuan wanted to eat it, so he didn’t take the white cake back from her.

He took another piece from the table and handed it to He Fan's mouth, "Uncle San, eat..."

He Fan opened his mouth to show respect, and Zuo Zixuan suddenly looked shocked, stood up and slapped the white cake to the ground to stop him:

"can not eat……"

The two children and He Fan looked at Zuo Zixuan without blinking.

He Fan asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Where did this white cake come from?" Zuo Zixuan asked He Fan with a serious face.

"Zhou Xier came to see me just now and brought it over. Is there anything wrong with this white cake?"

"This white cake is poisonous. According to my judgment, arsenic should be added into it."

"What? Arsenic?"

Three voices sounded at the same time.

He Fan’s, and also those of He’s mother and He Chu who had just entered the yard.

"Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin..." Zuo Zixuan shouted loudly towards the outer courtyard.

"Coming, coming..." Aunt Qin stumbled into the inner courtyard.

"Xuanxuan, what's wrong?"

"Aunt Qin, take the two children to wash their hands quickly and wash them several times with soap."

Aunt Qin didn't ask any questions, just nodded and quickly took the two children away.

"He Fan, you just touched this white cake, go wash your hands quickly."

He Fan nodded without questioning, then stood up and went to the outer courtyard to wash his hands.

"Xuanxuan, could this be a mistake?

I'm afraid Zhou Xier doesn't have the guts to hurt others, right?" He's mother asked anxiously.

Although she was dissatisfied with the Zhou family's blackmail, she just couldn't believe it. Zhou Xier looked so cowardly and seemed afraid to kill even a chicken, so how could she dare to harm others?

“I hope I’m wrong.

But I am 90% sure that arsenic is added to this white cake."

Zuo Zixuan said firmly.

She is a surgical expert and is very familiar with things like arsenic.

Although this thing is poisonous, it is mostly used to make pesticides or herbicides.

But it also has medicinal value. It can corrode sores and remove rot, treat carbuncle, malignant sores, scurvy, ringworm, cold phlegm and asthma...

For a period of time, she even used this thing to try to develop a medicine for external injuries.

"He Chu, try catching a rabbit."

He Chu nodded and ran to the front yard.

Zuo Zixuan and He's mother waited in the backyard for almost an hour before He Chu came running back, sweating profusely, carrying a cage.

"I asked you to catch a rabbit, why did it take you so long?" He's mother asked anxiously.

“Don’t mention it. When those two guys heard that I was going to catch a rabbit to test the poison, they held onto my legs and wouldn’t let me catch it.

They say rabbits are so cute, they want to raise them and eat them.

Even my grandfather joined in the fun and tried to stop them from being caught.

I really had no choice but to run out and spend one dollar to ask the village dog to catch a few mice for me."
