An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into
Chapter 152: A drop of kindness is repaid with a spring of gratitude.
Tao Jin said, "I just went out and confirmed with the women who cook. That red mushroom is extremely poisonous. If a family eats just one, they will go crazy. There is no medicine to cure it."
Tao Jin looked at Jing Chunxi and continued, "Like last night, we put a bunch of them in a pot and ate them. They said there's no cure. They said if they stay unconscious for another hour or two, they won't wake up again.
Moreover, this kind of mushroom cannot be found in the nearby mountains."
Judging from what the Big Head family did last night, they must be well aware of the medicinal properties of mushrooms. No one knows what bribes the Fang family used to make them turn against their own people and even do something bad to them.
The old lady glanced at Jing Chunxi, then touched her forehead: "Is it so serious? We are really lucky."
Last night, she and the old man both drank a big bowl. She still remembered that she swallowed a red mushroom. Thinking about it now, she was a little scared. Fortunately, their sister Xi was lucky and had the care of the fairy aunt, so she was able to escape death.
Thinking that if it weren't for this granddaughter, all the family members would have died here, my heart suddenly sank.
Jing Chunxi didn't want to face the scrutinizing gazes of the elders, so she tried to change the subject. "Thank goodness Jing Mingrong sneaked over and reminded him that Master Tao realized the mushrooms were poisonous. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know what I would have done."
Thinking that the young dandy had not slept since last night and had been busy with her, Jing Chunxi felt that this young master was still wronged. With him around, she felt less panicked. Otherwise, she would have been terrified last night when she had to face a dozen people falling down alone.
Jing Yongcheng: "You... are all good people, Young Master Tao. We will remember your life-saving grace and will repay you in the future."
Tao Jin dodged a quick bow and said, "General, you're too kind. It's just a small favor. The people of Daqing Dynasty have all been protected by General Jing. This exile is... I should be grateful to you."
Tao Jin turned around and respectfully returned the salute to the general in a proper manner.
Jing Chunxi: "You were poisoned last night. Second Uncle and his family came to help. Heizi's mother also stayed with us until midnight. She only went back after repeated persuasion."
Jing Yongcheng's eyes were firm: "In the future, we in the General's Mansion will repay favors and avenge grudges. We are almost in Lingnan, so we shouldn't have so many concerns."
Jing Changning: "It's just that I can't punish the Datou family and the Fang family today. It's really frustrating." At this moment, he even regretted choosing to be a civil servant. He said that civil officials can govern the country and benefit the people. It's not as satisfying as military officials who can draw swords and fight at the slightest disagreement.
Jing Chunxi then remembered: "Master Liu said last night that he would make plans on how to deal with you all after you wake up. Shouldn't Third Uncle go over to discuss it with them later?" Jing Chunxi felt that this was the most important thing that needed to be resolved. At least they should know the bottom line of the General's Mansion, otherwise they would become people that anyone could bully.
Jing Yongcheng and Grandpa Xiaobei looked at each other, and finally exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "It's too late, Jing Mingxin should be gone."
"What do you mean by not here? I'm going to kill her today. You're such a heartless bastard, a traitor to the evil. You're such a little girl, you don't do good things."
When Dalang finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and stopped talking. Erlang immediately said, "Is he trying to silence me?"
Everyone was surprised at first, but when Erlang finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Silang was a little skeptical and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but was stopped by Xiaobei's grandfather. There was no need to pursue the fait accompli. Since she was willing to do this, she would have to bear the consequences. However, they were the only ones who could deal with the instigator in the end. There was no way to get revenge today.
Sure enough, not long after, as soon as the sound of drawing water was heard in the yard, the old women who had gotten up early to cook were frightened and screamed. The whole yard was suddenly in an uproar. Jing Mingxin, who had been locked in the woodshed last night, hanged himself with a rope, and that brand new hemp rope was something no one had ever seen before.
The officials did not pursue the matter, and they did not raise any questions.
Jing Mingxin is dead. What she said last night is now beyond proof. Her death allowed Fang to escape and also saved Datou's family.
Without any investigation, the three officials charged Jing Mingxin with suicide out of fear of punishment.
As for the suffering family, he didn't say a few words of comfort. When he saw that they had all woken up, he just sent Jing Changsheng over to pay them twenty taels of silver, saying it was compensation for their medicine money, and then let the matter go.
Jing Chunxi was heartbroken. She had spent twenty thousand taels of silver to buy the medicine, but what she got now was not even a fraction of that. After listening to her grandfather and third uncle, she could only accept her fate.
Jing Mingxin probably never understood until her death why she lost her life just because of her elder brother's instigation. In the end, she became a cold corpse. Except for her cousin Jing Mingrong who secretly visited her, her relatives also abandoned her like a piece of worn-out shoe, and after her death, they let the officials throw her into a mass grave.
Because of this incident, those who had planned to continue picking mushrooms the next day did not dare to go up the mountain again. Even if they had already picked mushrooms, they would ask the cook to come over and identify them one by one. Only after confirming that they were non-toxic did they dare to stay.
Worried that his family members' bodies couldn't bear it, Jing Chunxi didn't dare to give them lavish nourishment. He just used the well water in the space to cook meat and vegetable porridge for them for three meals a day, and didn't let them eat greasy food. He wanted to use the well water to clear all the toxins in their bodies.
The milk slices and candies for Little Tuanzi were also forced to be stopped, causing Little Tuanzi to blink his eyes and follow Cousin Xi's body all day long. The saliva in his mouth was flowing out, and he looked like a little puppy waiting for milk, so pitiful.
Near noon, Zhuang, with the instruction of her grandmother, asked the kitchen maid to buy several hundred kilograms of coarse grains and dozens of old clothes from the nearby village, and distributed them to those who helped them as a thank you gift.
Basically, every branch of the Jing family received hundreds of kilograms of food (except Datou's family). Even Heizi's mother and the prisoners under Yan County Magistrate were not left out. Most of the old clothes were given to Heizi's mother, who was allowed to distribute them herself.
returning a Favour many times more.
He also asked the kitchen to prepare some wine and meat and send them to Mr. Liu and the officials, returning the favor with courtesy and completing all the formalities before he could ask for anything.
Jing Mingrong, after her cousin's death, her cheerful personality became dull and withdrawn. After her family was isolated, she dared not get close to others. The work that was previously done mainly by her elder sister was now placed on her shoulders alone. She was only ten years old, and her frail body looked pitiful.
