Chapter 112 - Allergic Reaction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A few days later, the first batch of locust pesticide was prepared by the factory. Mayor Shen specially sent someone to deliver a few boxes to Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong looked at the box seriously and recalled the difficulties that Qiu Xingyuan faced when he was developing the locust pesticide. This was his hard work.

As his mother, she should show her support!

At the thought of this, Qiu Tong asked Ke Le and the others to move a few boxes of the locust pesticide to the entrance of the kindergarten. They set up a simple stall and wrote the words “Free locust pesticide” on a board.

The news of the free locust pesticide spread very quickly. Many parents and others gathered at the entrance of the kindergarten.

When the pharmaceutical supervisor heard the news, he quickly drove over to help Qiu Tong. In just half a day, he had already given away most of the locust pesticide.

Ding Ding Ding—

The kindergarten’s school bell rang. Qiu Xingyuan walked out of the school with his school bag. He was a little surprised to see Qiu Tong, but he quickly concealed his emotions. He held Qiu Xingyu’s hand and walked to Qiu Tong’s side. He muttered, “How embarrassing!”

Qiu Tong rubbed the top of his head and said with gentle eyes, “Look, the pesticide that Qiu Xingyuan developed has helped many people!”

A hint of pride appeared in Qiu Xingyuan’s eyes. Little Yu took the initiative to help Qiu Tong give away the pesticide by shouting out to the crowd. But her soft, childish voice was quickly drowned out by the surrounding bustle…

Two burly men pushed their way through the crowd and looked at Qiu Tong with fierce eyes. They asked in a hoarse voice, “Did you make the locust pesticide?”

“There’s a problem with the pesticide distributed here! Everyone, don’t take it. When we went back to spray it, our bodies showed signs of an allergic reaction!”

“My elder brother’s arms are covered in red spots. He has been sent to the hospital!”

“They are swindlers! These pesticides are useless against locusts. Don’t be fooled by them!”

The burly men shouted and tried to overturn Qiu Tong’s stall, but Ke Le and the others quickly stood up to protect her.

The appearance of the burly men made the crowd hesitate. They looked down at the locust pesticide in their hands and were hesitant to bring it home.

Qiu Tong sized them up with a frown. She guessed that these people were looking for trouble. She asked in an annoyed tone, “What evidence do you have?”

One of the burly men immediately raised his arms and rolled up his sleeves, revealing patches of red spots on his skin. He even waved them around for the surrounding crowd to see.

“I am the evidence!”

“We have these red spots on our bodies. It must be the locust pesticide. Since you are the ones who made it, you have to take responsibility.”

“You have to compensate me for the hospitalization fees, my loss of working time and any follow-up treatment fees!”

The red marks on the burly man’s arm were obvious. The onlookers, who had been initially hesitant, quickly threw away the locust pesticide in their hands and criticized Qiu Tong and Qiu Xingyuan. “I was wondering why a perfectly fine pesticide would be given away for free. So it’s poison!”

“Take this pesticide back. Instead of eliminating the locusts, we fell sick!”

“How can a kindergarten child understand chemicals? They must have colluded with others to cheat money!”

When Qiu Xingqiao and Qiu Xingyu saw that their brother was being bullied, they hurriedly stood in front of the crowd with their hands on their hips and spoke up for him, “Our eldest brother is amazing. The locust pesticide he made will definitely be fine!”

“Yes, you are the ones who don’t know how to use it. Why are you blaming Eldest Brother?”

Qiu Xingyu pouted, her eyes brimming with tears.

The onlookers did not buy their explanation. They clamored for the adult-in-charge to step forward and explain.

“Calm down! We’re all here and we won’t just disappear. What are you guys fussing about?”

“You scared my children. I want an explanation from you too!”

Qiu Tong squatted down worriedly and wiped Qiu Xingyu’s tears. She hugged her and patted her back as she spoke coldly.

She could almost confirm that these burly men were just here to stir up trouble. Qiu Tong narrowed her eyes, wanting to settle this with force.

However, Qiu Xingyuan did not say a word. He walked to the pesticide on display and picked up two new bottles. He unscrewed the bottle cap and took some pesticide and smeared it on his own arm. Qiu Tong saw his actions and said nervously, “Qiu Xingyuan, what are you doing?”

The crowd was shocked by Qiu Xingyuan’s actions and stared at him.

One second, two seconds… two minutes passed. As expected, Qiu Xingyuan’s arm broke out in red spots, indicating an allergic reaction..
