Chapter 4249: Waiting for an opportunity to poison
Probably because of last night's accident and Xiao Qiming's urging to her, Xia Guizhi waved her hand impatiently.
"You have to go on your own if you're busy. I have something to do and I have to go out."
Tie Maolin is not a perceptive person. If he could discover his wife's abnormality early, he would not be reduced to being almost treated as a puppet.
When he heard this, he just worriedly told the other party to take a rest, and then went to work carrying his own things.
Xia Guizhi doesn't have many close friends on this island. Firstly, it's because she doesn't want others to pry into her privacy; secondly, because she really dislikes the country bumpkins on this island.
In her opinion, these people are just like mice in a hole, hiding on this island and afraid to see people.
But she is different. Although she is a dead member of the Xiao family, she can obtain glory and wealth at her fingertips. ??
She didn't want to be trapped on such a small island for the rest of her life, having difficulty eating and drinking but being trapped in a treasure mountain.
If this isn't stupid, what is it? She doesn't want to be such a fool!
Xia Guizhi gained the sympathy of many people because of her past events, so when she hurried to the large temporary kitchen, she saw many female relatives busy inside.
Many of them had interacted with Xia Guizhi. When they saw each other coming, they immediately greeted him warmly, "Guizhi, why did you come here so early today? We have all heard about it. You should still take good care of yourself at home."
Get in good health so that you can give Maolin another big fat baby in the future."
The sister-in-law who greeted her was also kind-hearted, but when Xia Guizhi heard this, her expression immediately turned cold.
These country people really follow the wind and rain! What's wrong? She's in good health!
It's just that idiot Tie Maolin. Let alone giving birth to a child for him, he doesn't even want to touch her body. She hates it to death!
But she didn't want to have an attack in front of so many people, lest she arouse others' suspicion.
So he just pretended to agree, but his eyes circled around and then settled on one of the aunts.
The aunt is making a medicinal soup.
She had heard Tian Maolin mention it before, saying that the island owner bought a prescription to prevent heatstroke from outside.
Especially during the hottest time at noon, everyone working in the workshop must drink a bowl, so as to effectively prevent fire disease.
She also sneered at this, wondering what good things could be bought in such a rural place?
Shouldn't someone have deceived you?
But this has no effect on her. On the contrary, because the medicine is soup and bitter, if she puts all the poison in it,
Those people can't even notice it.
So she walked over and took the initiative to help the other party, but was pushed away by the aunt, who smiled and said, "You are not feeling well, just go and rest aside. Mao Lin has told us before, don't worry.
Someone is chewing his tongue."
Xia Guizhi was in a very irritable mood.
What she hates most now is people saying she is sick, so now she just wants to poison all these people to death to prove that she is not sick at all!
"Auntie, I'm fine now, just let me do some work for you! It's been you who have been helping me these days, and I feel a little bit unbearable."
As she said that, she was about to grab the other person's hand, but the aunt said, "This can't be done! Our island owner has given instructions, and I can only do this thing. Well, you go and see if others have it."
What kind of work did you do?"
Xia Guizhi's face turned ferocious for a moment, and she wanted to ask the other party if he really meant it.
I helped him with good intentions, but the other party was not only ungrateful, but also rejected her again and again. What did this mean?
But Xia Guizhi still endured it. She already felt that her endurance was about to reach its limit.
Fortunately, today is a good opportunity to take action. No matter what, she will find a way to put this poison in.
So today she just stayed in the kitchen without moving a step outside.
The sisters-in-law and aunts all felt a little relieved to see her like this. Although this girl's body was too delicate, her heart was good!
In a blink of an eye, it was noon.
Xia Guizhi's face was a little gloomy.
Because she had been working here all morning, she was covered in stinky sweat, but she had no chance to put the poison into the medicine to relieve heat.
Just when she was about to give up and shift her goals to other things, she suddenly got a good opportunity.
The medicine to relieve the heat has been released, and it must be taken before meals, so they need to carry the medicine over and distribute it to everyone.
Although Xia Guizhi had the strength to lift herself up, she did not want to reveal her true side in front of others.
Others saw how much she wanted to help, so they gave her a task.
"Members of the Maolin family, go with them, and then distribute these medicines to everyone, but remember that each person must drink a bowl, and you must not leave anything behind. Do you understand?"
That aunt also had good intentions.
Moreover, the medicine has been prepared, and she doesn’t
I'm afraid that the other person will do bad things with good intentions, and it will be troublesome if he gets the wrong medicine.
A sweet smile immediately appeared on Xia Guizhi's face. She took her aunt's hand and said thank you several times before following the person who delivered the medicine.
On the way, she found a way to mix the medicine in. When she arrived at the workshop, she used a long-handled wooden spoon to stir it in, making sure that the medicine powder could be completely dissolved in the potion. Then she smiled and shared it with everyone.
A bowl.
Soon Tie Maolin got his own bowl.
This simple and honest man did not rush to put the medicine into his mouth, but handed it to his wife.
"Guizhi, you must be tired after being busy all morning, right? You drink first, and I will drink after you finish!"
Xia Guizhi looked at the medicine bowl in front of her, without any hesitation in her eyes, but with a hint of disgust that she could no longer hide.
God knows! How much she wanted to stab her, but she ended up with this disgusting man.
She was thinking this in her heart, but she said in a very gentle tone, "I'm not tired, Maolin, just drink it quickly! Look at the sweat on your forehead, it must be too hot, right?"
Although she said this, she had no intention of stepping forward to wipe the other person's sweat.
You should know that when the women next to you see their men coming out, they will wipe each other's sweat with handkerchiefs or sleeves.
You can tell the truth at a glance.
Tie Maolin didn't care at all. He wiped his face carelessly with his sleeve, smiled at his wife, and then took a sip of the anti-summer medicine.
It's just that he thought this medicine would be very bitter, but why did he taste a little sweetness after drinking it today?
However, this sweetness was very light, it just slipped on the tip of his tongue and disappeared, so he didn't care.
Then he followed everyone to prepare a meal. When he excitedly took his wife's share, he found that the other party had already left.
Although he was a little disappointed, he carefully covered the food with a clean cloth and placed it in a cool place, thinking that he could take it back and eat it in the evening.
People on Xuanhuo Island don't like to waste food, so whether it's medicine or food, they eat it cleanly.
Working in the afternoon was no different from that in the morning. When he returned home at night, he saw that the door of Xia Guizhi's room was still closed.
Thinking that the other party might have been busy outside all day or was sleeping, he took off the tools lightly.
Then he fetched a large bucket of water from the well and poured it down from the head.
The medicine was indeed very effective, but after drinking it for a day, he felt that his chest no longer felt like
It was as scorching as before.
At this time, the parents who were preparing meals in the kitchen couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.
"Maolin, come here. Mom wants to say a few words to you."
"Why."
Tie Maolin was a filial man. He wiped his hair casually with a cloth and sat on the stone at the door of the kitchen.
Under normal circumstances, their dinners are very casual. After all, they are full at lunch, and the meal in the evening is not very important.
He used his hands to help his mother pinch the roots of the green vegetables, thinking that the vegetables were very fresh and tender, and maybe he could eat more cinnamon branches at night.
When the old lady saw her son like this, she couldn't help but sigh and said with some sadness, "I wish you hadn't been so kind at the time, son! Mom knows that in your heart, you are thinking about the girl from before. But no matter what,
He said, since Guizhi has entered our house and lost her child, we cannot abandon her no matter what!"
When the old lady said this, there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Their family is all honest people, so when Xia Guizhi came to the door and said that if Maolin didn't marry her, he would die, it was the old man and the old lady who softened their attitude first.
But I didn't expect that this moment of concession would ruin my son's happiness.
It is said that a child is better than his mother. Although the old lady did not understand everything that happened during this period, she still saw it.
She knew that her son must have been wronged in some way, but she still couldn't say anything to make her son abandon his wife.
Tie Maolin's hand paused, and his face turned gray for a moment.
The movements of his hands slowed down, and the scene when he first saw the girl appeared in front of his eyes.
At that time, he didn't have many thoughts about getting married and having children, but after the first sight of her, he had the urge to marry this girl back and stay with her for the rest of his life.
But later, Xia Guizhi found the girl.
She knelt down and kowtowed to the girl, and used various means to threaten to die in front of the girl.
In the end, the girl couldn't bear it anymore, and she cried and told him that she wanted to break off the engagement with him.
He knew it was because the girl was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see a life die in front of his eyes.
But for such a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He thought he had done everything a husband should do, but he couldn't feel Guizhi's affection for him.
Even if it wasn't the love between a man and a woman, but the love between relatives, he didn't feel it at all.
