Chapter 32 Poisoning
The Yang family's banquet ended at noon today. Most people went home after lunch. The closest ones would sit and play for a while, and then go home around noon. After all, in this era of underdeveloped information and transportation, it was really not easy to meet each other.
The three aunts were talking to Old Man and Old Lady Yang in the main room, accompanied by their children, and the room was bustling with activity. The people from the other rooms said hello and went back to their rooms to entertain their relatives.
In the fifth room, Yang Mingyun's family, along with the Wu family's three uncles, three aunts, and Old Man and Mrs. Wu were all there, and the main hall was packed. Only the third brother was home, and Mrs. Wu had suggested they all stay here for another night, then go directly to Yang Mingmo's in-laws' house tomorrow to reunite with her eldest aunt, uncle, and four cousins before returning.
Old Mrs. Wu shook her head and said, "Youyou, we've all left. Only your fourth sister-in-law and fifth brother's wife are left at home. They're both pregnant. Your fourth and fifth brothers are still out in the village, helping people build houses. There's so much work to do at home, and I'm worried about them. So, when your younger brother-in-law gets married, we won't come over. We'll just come for your eldest brother and sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu didn't know what to say. After all, she was a person of flesh and blood, and there were two heavy children at home. She really couldn't leave, so she agreed and asked Yang Mingyu to send them to the hillside and then come back.
Yang Laoqi directed the helpers in the yard, gathering the necessary items and sending them back to his nephews. He would occasionally glance over to the Fifth House. My mother had told me to keep an eye on the Wu family; they might be leaving today, so I should bring them some of the wild boar meat I had brought back yesterday.
The Wu family greeted the people in the fifth room, went to the main room to say hello to Old Lady Wu and the others, and prepared to go back early. They still had time to go to the vegetable garden to get some pig grass to feed the pigs in the evening.
"In-laws, mother-in-law, why are you leaving so soon?" After listening to Yang Laoqi's report, Old Lady Yang put her three daughters down and went out to greet Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu and the others.
"Mother-in-law, you know that the kids have some skills. They stay in this village for a few days and then in that village for a few days. If it weren't for Mo's marriage, her uncles would have rushed back. Otherwise, they would still be building houses in other villages!" Old Mrs. Wu also said with a smile.
"You two old people are so lucky! Unlike my family, we have no skills and we just stay at home." Old Mrs. Yang also said with a smile.
"Mother-in-law, your blessing is yet to come. Don't worry! We are leaving now, you can go back!" Old man Wu ended the conversation with one sentence.
Old Lady Yang nodded and said, "Yes! You will be blessed in the future." Then she pointed to the two bamboo baskets that Yang Laoqi and his nephew had brought up and said, "Ms. Mo's wedding banquet was beautiful today, thanks to her grandparents. This wild boar is so big that we didn't finish it at the banquet, so I'll give you some to take back with you."
Old Lady Wu quickly refused, saying that her family would be slaughtering a fat pig in a few days and the pork would be kept at Old Yang's house. In the end, she couldn't convince Old Lady Yang and took one basket away, leaving one basket for the married girl to take away.
Old Mrs. Wu nodded in agreement. This basket weighed about 40 kilograms. For the seven married daughters, each of them could take away 5 kilograms, which was about right. So that was the arrangement.
Yang Mingyu was originally going to see off Old Man Wu and his family, but in the end, under the strong objection of Old Lady Wu, he stayed to see off Yang Mingyun and his family. Yang Mingyun also said that she did not want her third brother to see her off. Thinking about what she had to do when she returned, she and her husband looked at each other and shook their heads, refusing Yang Mingyu to see her off. She also said that she would not take anything back with her, including the cloth and money given by Yang Mingxi.
Wu disagreed, but Yang Mingxi understood. She smiled and said, "Okay, big sister, the day after tomorrow, big brother and second brother will go to pick up second sister and bring the things to you. Is that okay then?"
Yang Mingxuan looked at her husband and found that Gu Laosan nodded. She nodded Yang Mingxi's head and said with a smile, "You are smart and know everything. You can do it the day after tomorrow." Then she said to Wu, "Mom, I will come to see you in a few days. We are leaving first." Then she held her son and took Gu Laosan to the main house to say hello, and went home.
In the afternoon, all the relatives left one after another. Old Mrs. Yang asked her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to clean up the house, and then they went about their business.
This time, Yang Laosan left his wife and daughter at home, preparing to find a husband for his third daughter, Yang Mingjie. She would be seventeen soon. Girls who did not get married after the age of nineteen would be forcibly assigned a husband by the government. He could not let his third daughter suffer that, because the family she was assigned to would not be a good family.
Yang Lao San heard from his parents that he had set his sights on Zheng Huairen, the eldest son of the Zheng family who had moved to the village behind him. However, his family was full of sickly children, so they couldn't make up their minds. His aunt Gao wanted to marry his third daughter to the third son of her eldest brother's family, so that Yang Mingjie could take care of both wives, but Yang Mingjie disagreed. Her marriage was thus stalled. Yang Lao San also said goodbye to his parents and returned to Qingshui County.
Yang Mingxi looked at the family who had arranged everything so well and felt like she was redundant. Then she suddenly remembered the three brothers of the Zheng family. She said hello to her grandparents, took her fourth brother with her, picked up the medicine box, and went to the Zheng family at the village entrance.
The houses in Changshan Village are very concentrated. Except for the old Yang family at the end of the village and the Zheng family at the entrance of the village, the houses of other families are concentrated on both sides of the only dirt road in the middle of the village, or in a row at the back, so the whole village looks like a mouth, with the old Yang family at the end of the village and the old Zheng family at the entrance of the village.
After about an incense stick of time, the siblings arrived at the Zheng family's home. The Zheng family's house was similar in structure to the old Yang family's, except that it lacked a backyard. Yang Minghao approached and knocked on the door, then shouted, "Brother Zheng, open the door! My third sister is here to see the third and fourth brothers." When no one opened the door, he began banging on the simple gate.
Inside the Zheng family's house, Zheng Laoer, wearing a cap, slowly came out to open the door. After the gate opened, Zheng Laoer made a gesture and left on his own. Yang Minghao looked in the direction he pointed, believing the person should be in the east wing. He then went to the east wing, but before he could knock, the door was opened from the inside.
A thin boy stood by the door frame, looked at Yang Mingxi and said with a smile: "Miss Yang Qi, you are here. Sorry to bother you. Third brother is not in good condition. He is lying in bed and can't get up. Please come in and take a look at him first."
Yang Mingxi entered the house and saw a straw mat on the wooden bed. Lying on it was the third son of the Zheng family whom she had seen that day. His condition looked even worse than what she had seen three days ago.
At this moment, a little girl of seven or eight years old brought a stool and handed it to Yang Mingxi, saying, "Sister, if there is anything you can ask me to do for you, could you please help look after my father and mother?"
Yang Mingxi listened to the little girl's words. Could it be that everyone in their family is sick? The young man who just opened the door might be disfigured or something. Never mind. Since I'm here, I might as well be a good person! After figuring it out, Yang Mingxi looked at the little girl and smiled. "Little sister, how old are you this year? Is anyone in your family sick? Is your eldest brother not at home?"
The little girl blinked her eyes. Three days ago, when her eldest brother took her third and fourth brothers to see a doctor, he said that a miracle doctor had come to Changshan Village. It was said that the seventh daughter of the Yang family had been mentally retarded since childhood and was cured by this miracle doctor. But this little girl who came now looked only five or six years older than her. Why did she feel like the seventh daughter of the Yang family? She remembered what her eldest brother had told her before leaving: "When the miracle doctor comes, don't ask anything. Just answer whatever he asks. There is no need to be shy. If possible, let him examine everyone in the family."
The little girl remembered what her eldest brother had said, and nodded, "Sister, I'm ten years old. In my family, besides my eldest brother and me, there are two younger brothers and a younger sister. The rest are all sick. My eldest brother went into the mountains, and he asked me to show you everyone in our family."
Yang Mingxi nodded, and then, under the guidance of the little girl, went to see Zheng Laosan first. Yang Mingxi took the pulse for a long time, but she was still a little unsure. Suddenly, the word "poisoning" popped up in her mind.
Then Yang Mingxi looked at Zheng Er, Zheng Si, Zheng Wu, and Zheng's mother. The little girl in front of her, including her two younger brothers and sister, all showed signs of poisoning, but the degree of poisoning varied. Only Zheng's father was paralyzed because of a fall injury that was not treated in time.
Yang Mingxi sighed. This person must have escaped from a big family, so the master discovered it at that time, guessed the reason, and thought of himself, so he said to show them!
