Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

Zhang Cuilan cried pitifully, and others might feel pity for her, but Shang Qing remained unmoved.

None of the three people spoke to her before they met, nor did they even glance at her and her daughter, which made Zhang Cuilan resentful. She secretly glanced at Shang Qing again, and after confirming that Shang Qing's gaze was not on her, she turned her head to give Liu Shuqin a subtle wink, and then gestured towards the basket with her lip. Liu Shuqin immediately understood what she meant.

Now is the best time; Liu Shuqin knows she has no other choice.

So, taking advantage of the moment when Shang Qing and the other two were distracted, Liu Shuqin picked up the basket and started running, disappearing in the blink of an eye like a rabbit.

Pan'er, who was originally hiding behind Gu Yu, saw this and chased after him without thinking.

Zhang Cuilan shouted, "Shuqin, run! Run! Don't let that girl catch you!"

Like mother, like daughter!

Shang Qing was confident in Pan'er, after all, she was strong and young, and should be able to win Liu Shuqin back.

"Zhang Cuilan, I didn't know before, but I didn't expect you to raise your daughter so well!"

Zhang Cuilan didn't take it seriously, slowly got up, and didn't forget to pat the dust off her clothes.

Not long after, a mournful wail came from not far away from Liu Shuqin.

Zhang Cuilan's heart tightened, and she pointed at Shang Qing, cursing, "Shang Qing, what did your daughter do to my daughter? I'm telling you right now, if anything happens to my daughter, I will never let you off the hook!"

After saying this, she ran towards Liu Shuqin, with Shang Qing and Gu Yu following closely behind. They were also somewhat worried about Pan'er.

But when they got closer, they found that Liu Shuqin had already fallen flat on her face and was sitting on the ground crying. She had many scratches all over her body.

Zhang Cuilan was naturally heartbroken: "My Shuqin, what happened?"

Seeing that Pan'er was safe and sound, Shang Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"She tripped over a stone and fell by accident; it has nothing to do with me."

Pan'er's attitude was very firm, after all, it really wasn't her fault.

“If you hadn’t been chasing my Shuqin, would she have fallen…” Zhang Cuilan stared straight at Pan’er, then continued, “Gu Pan’er, how can you be as barbaric as your mother! Let me tell you, if anything happens to Shuqin, I will never let you off the hook, even if it costs me my old life!”

Shang Qing couldn't help but chuckle: "Excuse me, your old life isn't something our Pan'er cares about."

Zhang Cuilan was rendered speechless by her retort.

Because of Li Shuqin, Zhang Cuilan had considered making a move against Shang Qing. However, she didn't dare to look at her directly now, mainly because of Gu Yu standing beside her.

I've heard that this person is particularly belligerent, and he's so protective of Shang Qing. If this matter really escalates, she probably won't have a good ending either.

Most importantly, Gu Yu's gaze was extremely cold at this moment.

After a moment, Zhang Cuilan said softly, "Shang Qing, this matter needs a solution. How about this, you give us these red mushrooms, and we'll just let Shuqin's injury go, okay?"

She really knows how to calculate.

Shang Qing was speechless: "Zhang Cuilan, have you forgotten what I just told you? These red mushrooms you picked tonight are inedible. Why didn't you listen?"

Even at this point, Zhang Cuilan still felt that Shang Qing was deliberately deceiving her in order to prevent her from taking the red mushrooms.

"Shang Qing, I've heard about what happened between Jiang Yingyue and your family. Yes, pork is indeed very valuable these days, and I'm not surprised at all that you took him to the county government over meat. But red mushrooms aren't anything valuable; they're just mushrooms. Are you really that stingy?"

Before Shang Qing could reply, she continued, "Jiang Yingyue told me before that these red mushrooms are edible, and people in the village have eaten them and they were fine."

Sure enough, all of this is mainly due to Jiang Yingyue; it was she who instigated Zhang Cuilan to do all of this.

I don’t want to know what Jiang Yingyue told you, but these mushrooms are definitely not edible.

The atmosphere between the two sides became somewhat tense for a time.

Even Gu Yu and Pan'er were a little confused. Aren't red mushrooms edible?

Zhang Cuilan sighed deeply: "Shang Qing, I'm really exasperated with you. These are just some red mushrooms, I'm begging you to do me the honor. Besides, these red mushrooms are so dirty now, it'll be a hassle for you to take them back, so why don't you just give them to me!"

It seems that no matter how I explain today, Zhang Cuilan probably won't listen.

Shang Qing squatted down, looked steadily at Zhang Cuilan, and said, word by word, "Zhang Cuilan, I can give you these red mushrooms."

Seeing Zhang Cuilan's delighted expression, Shang Qing continued, "But I already told you beforehand that it was poisonous, and you still insisted on eating it. So you'll have to take responsibility for the consequences yourself."

As Zhang Cuilan bent down to pick up the red mushrooms, she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll take responsibility myself, I'll definitely take responsibility myself."

When she finished picking the red mushrooms and was about to help Liu Shuqin leave, Shang Qing stopped her.

Zhang Cuilan thought Shang Qing was going back on his word, and hurriedly said, "Shang Qing, you promised me, you can't go back on your word!"

Shang Qing said, "Zhang Cuilan, we can't just let you go like this. Let's make a deal: even if something happens to you after eating these red mushrooms, you can't blame it on me. If we break this agreement, may our whole family suffer a terrible fate. What do you say?"

The ancients were most devoted to the belief in ghosts and gods. As soon as Shang Qing finished speaking, Zhang Cuilan's expression changed.

"This……"

That's too harsh.

Shang Qing pressed on, saying, "What, Zhang Cuilan, are you scared? If you are, I'm still going to take these red mushrooms with me."

Perhaps because she was provoked by Shang Qing, Zhang Cuilan nodded without thinking and said, "Why should I be afraid? These red mushrooms won't kill me anyway."

"If I get sick from eating these red mushrooms, I won't blame Shang Qing. But if I do, may my whole family... die a horrible death!"

Shang Qing hadn't originally planned to do this, but it was the only way to deal with this kind of person.

Hearing this, Liu Shuqin couldn't help but feel frightened: "Mother, what you're doing..."

Zhang Cuilan couldn't care less about anything else; she was struggling to make ends meet.

Zhang Cuilan helped Liu Shuqin leave. Watching the two of them walk away, Shang Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I told you we shouldn't eat it, but you still did. If I don't do this, and something really happens later, you'll still blame me."

Pan'er asked in confusion, "Mother, aren't all these red mushrooms edible? Why did you say those things?"

Could it be that her mother had some other scheme?

Gu Yu was also somewhat confused.
