Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 156 Holy Father, Prepare to Die (5)

As expected, Xia Mingwei's expectations were not disappointed. After hearing Xia Mingwei's words, the expressions of his brothers clearly softened.

Xia Mingwei watched their changing expressions and felt very satisfied. It seemed that her plan to sow discord had worked.

At the same time, Li Shi also took in the changes in their expressions.

Seeing their suspicious looks, Li Shi asked incredulously, "You don't actually believe what she said, do you?"

Upon hearing Li Shi's question, a hint of unease flashed across the expressions of the group. The result was clear: they had indeed taken Xia Mingwei's words to heart!

A woman who was so poor that she couldn't even afford to eat would spend money to buy laxatives and wait for them to come so she could administer them.

Unless she can predict the future, this doesn't seem to make sense!

Unless, of course, someone else is trying to harm them. And they can't think of anyone else but Li Shi!

Seeing their suspicious looks, Li Shi loudly protested, "You really believed her? You think I'm the one who drugged her? You're all my brothers, how could I do such a thing!"

"Brother, if you don't want to entertain us, just say so. Next time, don't serve us spoiled meat. We don't have that much good fortune; we can't afford it!"

After saying this, the group helped each other out of the Li family's gate.

Li Shi watched their departing figures, wanting to offer some explanation. But he realized they seemed convinced he was the one who had done it, and further words would be pointless. He clenched his fists; it seemed he could only try to explain later.

But remembering that he had been framed, Li Shi turned around and roared at Xia Mingwei, "Now they all believe what you said, are you satisfied now?"

Faced with Li Shi's accusations, which resembled those of an old-fashioned domineering CEO, Xia Mingwei chose to retaliate in the manner of a regular male.

She impatiently picked at her ear and said dismissively, "Since you think I'm just making this up, and that's what you want to think, then there's nothing I can do!"

Sure enough, Li Shi's anger flared even more upon hearing this. He walked up to Xia Mingwei, seemingly wanting to get to the bottom of things, "If you didn't drug her, why didn't you give this meat to Jing'er?"

Xia Mingwei never expected that Li Shi would dare to say such a thing!

In the past, the family had hosted meals with meat, but the original owner and Li Jing were not entitled to sit at the table! At first, Li Jing would always look at them with longing eyes, at the meat on the table.

But all she ever got in return was a scolding from Li Shi, who always blamed Li Jing for being so greedy at such a young age, as if she had never eaten meat before!

Later, as Li Jing grew a little more sensible, she realized that Li Shi disliked her behavior, so whenever Li Shi treated her to a meal, she would always find an excuse to go out and play for a while.

Thinking of this, Xia Mingwei felt a pang of bitterness. She looked at Li Shi and said, word by word, "You hypocritical man! You can't even support your own wife and daughters, what kind of family are you? You should have just stayed single in the first place, why did you have to drag innocent people down with you?"

Seeing that Xia Mingwei was getting angry, Li Shi didn't want to argue with her anymore. He knew he was in the wrong!

In the end, Li Shi had no choice but to leave the room in a huff.

Seeing this, Xiao Ba finally spoke up and asked, "Host, what should we do next? Should we argue with him?"

Xia Mingwei shook her head. "Xiao Ba, do you know how to deal with a saint like Li Shi?"

"How to do?"

"First expose his true colors, wait until he's despised by everyone, and then force him to become a saint. What do you think of this method?"

After hearing Xia Mingwei's plan, Xiao Ba gave her a heartfelt thumbs up.

It really does need its host; this method is truly ingenious!

As it turns out, Xia Mingwei's idea was correct.

Li Shi had gotten an upset stomach after treating everyone to meat last time, which drew complaints from his brothers. To salvage his reputation, he quickly decided to invite them again.

To prevent Xia Mingwei from drugging him again, he even watched her cook the entire dish in the kitchen. Only when he saw that everything was normal did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, Xia Mingwei had already learned about the situation from Xiao Ba's monitoring, so she put the laxative into her water tank in advance.

So this group of people has once again fallen victim to the virus. They're the ones using the outhouse, but the one suffering the most is the outhouse itself!

Since he had watched Xia Mingwei prepare the meal, he was certain that Xia Mingwei had not tampered with it.

So why did this dinner party end like this again? She didn't drug him, so could it really be a problem with her own flesh?

Li Shi fell into deep self-doubt.

When his brothers accused him again, he remained silent, clearly acknowledging the reason. It was because of his flesh that they suffered this "undeserved disaster"!

In order not to suffer in vain, they unanimously decided to have Li Shi pay some silver to settle the matter.

The saying goes, "A small favor can breed resentment," and this is exactly the situation Li Shi is facing now. Over the years, Li Shi's brothers have certainly treated them to plenty of drinks and meals.

But now, Xia Mingwei has only thrown a bucket of mud at him. This group of people is already eager to distance themselves from him, and even has the nerve to demand compensation!

To some extent, it was Li Shi's saintly behavior that fueled the appetites of this group of people!

Xia Mingwei had only torn a small opening in Li Shi's body, yet they couldn't wait to pounce and tear off a piece of flesh. This behavior truly reflected their heartless and treacherous nature!

The men persisted, and Li Shi had no choice but to agree to their demands. However, he didn't have any extra money on him, so he could only give them IOUs first!

After finally seeing them off, Li Shi collapsed to the ground, watching their departing figures.

He didn't understand why, after giving so much, he received this result. Had he really made a mistake?

But Li Shi quickly dismissed the idea. How could he use a single example to negate himself?

Wasn't it precisely because he did good deeds that he saved Xia Heng, which earned him Xia Heng's respect and ultimately led him to marry the scholar's daughter? Isn't this the best proof of the good fortune he received from doing good deeds?

Xia Mingwei looked at Li Shi's bewildered expression, grinned, and smiled silently.

Most of the suffering that the original owner and her child endured was caused by Li Shi.

Because they are family, they lost the right to criticize him, which is why he truly has no way to express his suffering! The bitterness he is experiencing now is only a small part of the problem; many more hardships await him in the future!
