In the next few days, the flow of people seemed to pick up again, and even half a bucket was not enough to sell.

Compared with the four people, there were fewer people buying from their place. Some people couldn’t buy what Xu Si had, so they went to other stalls to eat something else.

"Yours is still better. Theirs tastes terrible." A laborer said, it's not as good as what he makes at home.

After all, it is a big pot dish, and it is difficult for most people to control the amount of seasoning, so it turns out to be tasteless.

"That's right, and they also sell leftovers. What if we can't eat them?"

"The portions we scooped up are not as good as those at Madam Xu's place. They are so stingy. It doesn't seem that cheap after all."

"And they had a bad attitude and were aggressive, as if you owed them money."

"I feel that their place is not hygienic at all. There is black mud between the old woman's fingernails. It makes me feel a little disgusted."

"I even found a hair in my food last time, and when I asked them to judge, they said I put it there on purpose."

"Let's not talk about the bucket, let's talk about the dinner plate. Last time I saw some black spots on it, and guess what, the dirt came off. It was obvious that I hadn't washed it properly. I was so upset that I didn't even finish my meal."

Everyone was complaining, not hiding the fact that they had eaten at other people's places.

Xu Si and his companions just smiled and said nothing.

They paid attention to every aspect from the beginning. Their clothes were neatly dressed and their hair was tied up, which made people feel comfortable just by looking at them.

The wooden barrels and tableware used every day are ensured to be washed clean and look as bright as new.

This topic resonated with people, and everyone expressed their dissatisfaction while eating, which was quite lively.

The four men also heard it and cast malicious glances at them, but they did not dare to do anything because of the crowds.

Just then, a noisy sound was heard.

"Someone come quickly, something happened."

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

There was another person half-kneeling on the ground next to him, with an anxious look on his face.

"What's going on?" The supervisor not far away was startled, put down the meal he was eating and hurried over.

He was anxious and angry. If something really happened, his job as a supervisor would be over.

"I don't know either. We had just finished our meal and were sitting here to rest when Wang Er suddenly said he felt a little nauseous. We didn't take it seriously. After a while he started vomiting and then collapsed." The friend of the worker explained in a panic.

"Looking at him like this, could he be poisoned?" someone said softly.

Everyone was so nervous that they couldn't eat the food in their hands. They didn't know if it was a psychological reason, but they felt a little uncomfortable.

Everyone looked at Xu Si and the other family with suspicion.

The four men were a little frightened, "What are you looking at? We didn't poison you."

"Our food is also clean, and our family members are eating it too." Xu Si said after calming down.

It was hard to tell whose family it was, and some people ran over to try to spit out the food, causing chaos at the scene.

"Go find a doctor quickly." The supervisor shouted to someone next to him.

"Oh, I'll go right away." The man was stunned for a moment and quickly ran towards the nearest clinic.

"Sir Supervisor, should we report to the police?" someone asked.

"What are you reporting? Let the doctor take a look first." The supervisor was sweating profusely, and his original arrogant look was gone.

I can't report it to the police. Once the matter gets out of hand, there's no way to resolve it, and the host will definitely vent his anger on me.

Moreover, if it was really food poisoning, he vaguely felt that it was his family's problem. Thinking of this, he felt that he must not report it to the police.

Soon, an old man with a white beard appeared in front of everyone, holding a medical box, followed by a laborer who was going to call for help.

"Doctor, come and see if he is okay." the supervisor shouted anxiously.

The doctor didn't hesitate at all. He immediately squatted down beside the man, pried open his eyelids, slightly pinched his mouth open, and simply took his pulse.

Then his face turned serious, "It is indeed poisoned."

Everyone was in an uproar, pointing at Xu Si and the other four people and whispering.

Su Jinyue couldn't help but hug Qi Ning tightly, moving closer to Shen Jingchuan.

"Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything wrong." Shen Jingchuan saw that his wife was scared and comforted her softly.

Qinghuan also grabbed Xu Si's hand, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.

Seeing his parents and his elder brother and sister-in-law snuggling together, Shen Yanchen couldn't help but look at Xu Si.

She didn't even look at him. He pursed his lips and stood on the other side of Xu Si.

The doctor was already inducing vomiting in the poisoned worker. I don't know which acupoint he pressed on the worker's wrist, but the man started vomiting violently after he woke up.

After vomiting, Wang Er's face turned a little pale, but he looked much better.

"Thank you, doctor."

The doctor smiled slightly, not caring about the dirt on the ground, and checked his body again, "It's a mild poisoning. Now that he has vomited, he just needs to rest for two days and he will be fine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Whose meal did you eat?" someone asked curiously.

The man was about to say something, but the supervisor interrupted him with a sullen look, "Come with me first."

Xu Si felt something was not right when he saw this, and whispered something to Shen Yanchen.

He nodded and then left quietly.

As they were quite far away, everyone didn't know what the supervisor had said to Wang Er. They only saw some hesitation on his face. He glanced at Xu Si and the others, and then seemed to have made up his mind.

He walked back weakly behind the overseer.

"Wang Er just told me that the meal he ate was from Madam Xu's house." The supervisor said loudly.

Everyone was a little unbelievable. After all, Xu Si left a very good impression on them.

"Wang Er, are you sure this is Madam Xu's family?" someone asked uncertainly.

"Yes," Wang Er answered in a low voice, and then avoided the gaze of Xu Si and the others.

"You're talking nonsense. I don't even remember you coming here to buy anything." Qinghuan shouted angrily.

"They already said it's your family. Are you trying to shirk responsibility by saying this?"

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was not their fault, and immediately spoke with gloating smiles on their faces.

“Madam Xu, just admit it, otherwise if the matter gets out of hand, it won’t be good for you.

Considering our relationship, Wang Er and I have discussed that you should just pay him 100 coins as compensation, which will be regarded as his salary for the two days of rest."

The supervisor looked understanding and gave them advice, as if it was for their own good.

Bah, if I didn’t know the relationship between him and those four people, I would have thought he was really thinking about them.

Xu Si didn't speak for a long time, Qinghuan looked at her anxiously.

"Second sister-in-law, I have an impression that he has never been here. If you don't believe me, ask Qi Ning. He must remember it too."

"Aunt is right. I haven't seen this uncle today either." Qi Ning felt the tense atmosphere and said seriously.

Others may not know about Qi Ning's ability to remember everything he saw, but his family members naturally know it.

"I believe you," Xu Si touched Qinghuan's head to comfort her.

Although she had no impression, confidence was not their problem.

She didn't say anything, just to delay time.

"The police are coming!"
