Chapter 261 Marrying a Daughter (5)

"Next?" He Shan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Next what?"

The young wife was stunned for a moment, looked around, and quietly took the packet of medicine from her pocket and showed it to her under the table.

"You forgot, you gave it to me"

Heshan took the medicine bag with a calm expression, then put it in his pocket, then silently picked up the chopsticks and started eating again.

"you……"

The conversation started but the young wife didn't know what to say. She looked at the bustling lobby and saw that her husband and father-in-law were drinking outside.

She bit her lip, suspecting that the wine had been drugged, but should she expose it?

Feeling the pain in her chest, the young wife finally fell silent.

Heshan continued to eat.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Lao Wu!"

"puff--"

"Dad! Dad! What's wrong with you! Ah!"

Everyone in the kitchen was quiet. Mrs. Zhou Wang's expression changed. This was the voice of her son Zhou Min.

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran out.

Inside the main room, all the men fell to the ground in agony. Some groaned and wailed weakly, some had already fallen unconscious, and some were vomiting blood. The red color dotted the tables and benches, making people's hearts tremble.

The women looked at this scene in horror:

"His father! What happened?"

"Old Five, wake up!"

The women hurriedly found the men of their families, anxiously pulling them and shouting. When they got closer, they could even smell a strange odor mixed with alcohol, which was very stinky and smelly. Those with weak stomachs could not help but vomit.

He Shan came out slowly, wiping his mouth, and almost laughed out loud. After watching them panic for a while, he kindly reminded them, "Do you want to go to Uncle Liu to check out the situation? This situation doesn't look right."

Uncle Liu knows about medicine, and people in the village go to him for treatment whenever they have minor illnesses or pains.

The women suddenly realized and woke up from their panic, and immediately said:

"Yes, yes, yes! Call Lao Liu to come and have a look!"

"Li Juan, go quickly!" A woman pushed her daughter-in-law and urged.

Li Juan was exactly the young wife from before. She frowned and got up. Her eyes flickered when they fell on He Shan, and she nervously ran out amid the crying of the crowd.

"Oh my god, what the hell is going on?"

"Sister Wang! What's wrong with your family? Why are my husband and son in this state?"

Zhou Wangshi was crying bitterly, but she stopped immediately when she heard this. She looked around and saw that all her aunts and wives were glaring at her.

"W-What do you mean?"

"All of our family members have collapsed in your house, what do you mean!"

"Yes, you are responsible!"

"Wuwuwuwu my son, please wake up quickly, Old Zhou's wife, if anything happens to my son, I will fight you to the death!"

They were all invited to the banquet, and now that something has happened, of course they have to hold the host responsible.

Seeing their angry eyes, Zhou Wangshi shuddered and tightly grasped the arms of her husband and son. The fallen people had black and blue lips, and it was obvious that they were poisoned, but how could they be poisoned?

"I don't know what happened either. How can you blame us?" Anyway, she couldn't admit it no matter what. What's more:

"Our Lao Zhou and Xiao Min have also fallen, this matter cannot be blamed on our family!"

Zhou Wang retorted with an ugly expression, and turned to look for her daughter-in-law to ally with her, but she saw that she was leisurely watching the show on the side, without any anxious look on her face. She immediately screamed in anger:

"You damned little bitch! Didn't you see your man lying on the ground? Why don't you come and help him up!"

Heshan's face fell, he stepped closer and gave her a few slaps.

The sound of "pa pa pa pa" silenced the wailing women who were trying to argue. They opened and closed their mouths again and again. If they had seen Zhou Wangshi being beaten before, they might have tried to persuade and comfort her, but that was impossible now as they were taking their anger out on her.

"Beep beep beep beep it's you"

"I'm such a good person and you actually cursed me to death. Even a beast wouldn't dare to think like that!"

"Ah--" Zhou Wangshi couldn't dodge in time and received several big slaps. Her half-squatting body instantly tilted to the side. After reacting, she raised her hands and waved them around to resist. Some people wanted to pinch and hit her, but her strength was like a raw egg hitting a stone when compared to Heshan's, and it shattered to the ground.

"You cook!" she shouted indistinctly.

Boil, boil, boil, you little bastard.

He Shan flipped his wrist and pushed her onto the Zhou father and son. Then a bowl of remaining rice wine was poured onto her face. The smell spread instantly, making her feel uncomfortable and almost vomiting.

After being beaten, Zhou Wang finally realized that her daughter-in-law was rebellious. She dared not to show off her strength anymore and just looked at her with a pair of resentful eyes. She was drenched in wine and felt ashamed and angry. She really lost face in front of everyone.

The house finally became quiet for a while.

...

"Uncle Liu is here!"

Suddenly there was a shout from outside the house, and then two hurried figures ran in. Uncle Liu's face was full of wrinkles, his hair was white, and he was breathing heavily.

"Uncle Liu, come and have a look!"

The women were overjoyed and rushed forward to pull him. Uncle Liu patted his chest, took a closer look, and his face changed drastically: "He's been poisoned!"

He squatted down hurriedly to check the men's mouths, tongues, noses and ears. Soon he saw their faces gradually darken and their breathing weakened. Uncle Liu's hands trembled, and he glared and shouted, "Hurry up and put them on the ox cart and send them to the county town!"

"Go and call someone to carry it!"

Liu Bo's sudden loss of color startled the women, "Liu Laosi, this... this can't you cure it?"

"What the hell!"

The man shouted, "Do you still want to save your man? Hurry up!"

"Yes, aunties, the county town has a big hospital. They will definitely save everyone. Don't waste time, just call for help," Heshan explained and persuaded with good intentions.

The word "live" startled the women, and they hurriedly ran outside to call their fellow villagers.

Human lives were at stake, so the villagers naturally ran over when they heard the news. They followed Liu Bo's instructions and carried the unconscious men onto ox carts, and hurriedly pulled them towards the city. The women followed behind with sad faces, especially Zhou Wangshi. She was so weak from being beaten by Heshan before she came that she could hardly keep up.

More than 20 men were poisoned and unconscious. The situation was serious and the doctors took it seriously after they entered the hospital, conducting emergency tests with serious faces.

Heshan and the women were waiting outside the examination room. She looked away and quietly surveyed her surroundings. Needless to say, the hospital environment was excellent, with bright glass windows, plain white doors and walls, and shiny, clean floors. Most of the other patients' families passing by were also neatly dressed. Looking out through the window, there were bright and clean streets. The environment looked many times better than that of a mountain village.

Although their families were in imminent danger, the aunts standing by couldn't help but show envy as they glanced around. Many of them had only been to the county town a few times in their lives, and they stayed in the mountain villages day after day to take care of the young and old men, working like slaves and being habitually whipped and scolded. They could never imagine that people could live such a decent life.

"I heard that the country has enacted laws that killing people is against the law."

At this time, Li Juan, who was sitting among the aunts and daughters-in-law, whispered something, causing everyone to look at Zhou Wangshi with a gloomy face.

They had vaguely heard a thing or two about the law. Many years ago, the city leaders went to the village to popularize it. However, there were too many customs in the village, and everyone tacitly abided by those rules. The men in the village felt that what the city leaders said was wrong, so they beat the people out and gathered together to curse them.

"What kind of woman can hold up half the sky? Bah! It's all bullshit."

"That's right, you want us to abandon our customs? Dream on! They are passed down from our ancestors."

"If they come again, we will beat them out."

The village is in the mountains, separated from the county town by mountain roads and waterways. The villagers are united and naturally not afraid of the county leaders who do not want to confront them head-on. Moreover, the smart ones have already studied it. Even if there are some "customs", they can act together and do what is called "the law does not punish the masses". Who can punish them?
