Chapter 21 The White Lotus Persuading People to Be Kind
Compared with this fish, Xu Ping'er is much calmer.
As soon as Xu Ping'er entered Zhao's house, the longevity wife in the house put a hay mat under her clothes and inserted a few needles into it. However, she followed Bai Banxia's instructions and wrapped her hand with a handkerchief before touching the needles.
When Xu Ping'er saw Changsheng's daughter-in-law, she expressed concern both inside and outside her words. If Changsheng's daughter-in-law hadn't known her true face earlier, no one knows how moved she would be at this moment.
"Why is Auntie still stuck with needles?" Xu Ping'er asked.
"Panellia told me to regulate my qi and blood, and I can't pull it out until night," said the longevity daughter-in-law.
Xu Ping'er asked with concern: "Doesn't it hurt?"
The longevity wife shook her head, "I don't feel much, but it's only for the past two days. Banxia said that another prick tomorrow will be enough."
"That's good." Xu Ping'er's eyes flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Changsheng's wife pretended to be tired and closed her eyes. Xu Ping'er walked over quietly. Changsheng, who was hiding in the dark, didn't dare to breathe, so she waited for her to pull out the needle.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ping'er just stretched out her hand to help Changsheng's wife adjust the quilt covering her legs, and then silently left.
You are really cautious. Just reaching out to pull the quilt was just a test, right?
Changsheng shook his head, "Don't worry, according to Banxia, it's time to take the bait tomorrow."
In a blink of an eye, the next day came. Bai Banxia went to follow up with his wife Changsheng early in the morning. After she left, Xu Ping'er went to Zhao's house.
"Daughter, put the medicine here first. Remember to drink it when it cools down a bit." Ms. Liu brought the medicine soup into the room and said to Xu Ping'er with a smile: "Wang's wife, I'm still cooking, please help me keep an eye on it."
Let her drink medicine."
"Okay, I've written it down." Xu Ping'er responded obediently.
Ms. Liu left the house and turned around to go to the kitchen.
Xu Ping'er chatted with Changsheng's wife for a while, and soon Changsheng's wife yawned and her eyes became dull.
Seeing that she seemed to be asleep, Xu Ping'er moved to the side of the medicinal soup and called in a low voice: "Auntie? Drink the medicine first."
The immortal daughter-in-law didn't answer and fell asleep.
Xu Ping'er took something unknown and put it into the medicine bowl. Then she walked towards Changsheng's wife very lightly, reached out and pulled out a silver needle.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Changsheng jumped out from the corner and grabbed Xu Ping'er's arm.
But Xu Ping'er reacted quickly and stuck the needle in her hand again before she was caught.
"Uncle Changsheng, let go, why are you holding me like this?" Xu Ping'er knew that she had fallen into the trap, and felt extremely upset. However, she only panicked for a few seconds, and then she put on an innocent and pitiful expression.
The immortal daughter-in-law also opened her eyes and said, "I've already caught you, how long do you want to keep pretending?"
Mrs. Liu shouted outside, and someone immediately went to report the news to Bai Banxia and Dr. Xu.
Yesterday, Mrs. Liu thought of the large Wang family and was afraid that she would suffer a loss if she took action, so she went home and called her two sons to help.
"Doctor Xu, where is Dr. Xu? Go and see that the new wife of the Wang family is trying to kill my sister!" the eldest son of the Liu family shouted as he ran.
The second son of the Liu family also ran outside the gate of the Bai family and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Is the Bai family girl here? Go and see my sister. The new wife of the Wang family wants to kill my sister!"
This is Bai Banxia's confession. If Xu Ping'er does such a sinister thing, the whole village must know that such a disaster cannot be tolerated.
Zhao San, the old man of the Zhao family, went to the village chief and asked him to give them justice.
So in less than a quarter of an hour, the door of Zhao's house was crowded with people, and Dr. Xu and Bai Banxia arrived almost at the same time.
When Bai Banxia saw his beard trembling, he was obviously happy and wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it back, which was a bit hard.
People from the Wang family came over after hearing the commotion. Mrs. Zhao San and Mr. Liu blocked the door of the house, stopping Xu Ping'er's husband Wang Erhu, Taohua Niang and Tao Hua from coming.
"Let me go!" Xu Ping'er said in a tearful tone in the room, "Auntie Changsheng, why don't you talk to me about my uncle? How could you let him grab my hand like this?"
Everyone watching the excitement outside looked like they were gossiping. They didn't know what was going on, but it seemed that there was something unclear between the son of the old Zhao family and the wife of the old Wang family.
Wang Erhu's face turned livid, "Get out of the way, or I'll hit you!"
Mrs. Zhao San and Mrs. Liu stretched their necks and glared at him, with an attitude of "beat us to death if you dare".
"Your daughter-in-law plotted to kill my daughter, are you trying to silence her?" Ms. Liu shouted loudly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Erhu really called him the right name, Ererhu, and really punched Mr. Liu with his fist.
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she closed her eyes and secretly made a mistake. She had known that she should have let her two sons guard this place.
The onlookers saw a chubby figure suddenly rush over, as nimble as if he was not a fat man, and grabbed Wang Erhu's hand.
"You are looking for death!" Wang Erhu saw Bai Banxia and punched him with his other hand.
Bai Banxia twisted her body and easily dodged his attack. She kicked him in the back of his knees and he knelt on the ground.
With a strong force on her hand, she pushed Wang Erhu's arm behind his back.
"Tie him up, he is an accomplice." Bai Banxia said to the Liu brothers who came over.
The Liu brothers hurriedly found hemp rope to tie up, and they did not forget to thank Bai Banxia. They really thought their mother was going to be beaten by Wang Erhu just now.
"Girl Banxia, thank you." Mrs. Liu was in shock, but she took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.
Bai Banxia nodded at her and said to the room: "Bring Xu Ping'er out and tie her up too."
Changsheng arrested Xu Ping'er and came out. Xu Ping'er cried so hard that she said with an aggrieved face: "How did I offend the Zhao family? I came to help with good intentions, but you have wronged me like this?"
Her appearance is top-notch among the young daughters-in-law in Baoshan Village, and her voice is soft and sweet. At this moment, she really made many people sympathize with her.
"I understand. Is it because I offended Bai Banxia? But even if she saved Aunt Changsheng, you can't help her wrongfully accuse me." Xu Ping'er said and looked at Bai Banxia, "Panxia, we are enemies."
It is not appropriate to untie knots, so let’s give up.”
"What a grievant and pitiful white lotus, but also broad-minded and encouraging people to do good." Bai Banxia couldn't help but applaud.
Wang Taohua pointed at Bai Banxia and shouted: "Fat Bai, you are so despicable. Come at me if you have any problem. Stop bullying my second sister-in-law. I know you are jealous that my second sister-in-law is like a white lotus. Unlike you, who is stupid and stupid."
Dead fat pig!"
Bai Banxia burst into laughter. Wang Taohua didn't know the deeper meaning of the white lotus.
"The victim hasn't spoken yet. You have all the words to say and all the drama to you." After Bai Banxia finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Changsheng and said, "Uncle Changsheng, please tell me what happened."
Zhao Changsheng has a higher seniority, so it's really a bit awkward for Bai Banxia to call them husband and wife uncle.
"Whatever you say, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the immortal wife is giving birth to a baby. He has been dry for too long and wants to misbehave with my second tiger wife!" Peach Blossom Girl rushed to say.
