I can tolerate Xiumei bullying me, and I can also tolerate pretending to be weak in exchange for a stable life, but I can't do it with a group of people bullying the weak, it really can't be done.
"Must we go this far?" I asked loudly.
Lian Sao and the others looked at me, and Xiumei pushed me. "Chen Qing, I gave you face, didn't I? What, you want to stand up for her?"
"Elder sister Xiumei, you know me..." I really couldn't say those humble and weak words, and I didn't want the child in my stomach to hear that her mother was a shrinking turtle. They're almost out, can't they accumulate some virtue for themselves? Just think of it as building up some morality for your child?"
Xiumei didn't listen to what I was saying and glared at me with anger. "It just so happens that this bowl of rice can't be eaten by one person. Feed them both."
Lian Sao sighed and the others looked at me sympathetically.
A few people surrounded the little scar, grabbed the food on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, the same thing happened to me.
Little scar won't fight back, but I will. I will block my mouth and face with my hands, and I will never give in easily.
They saw that I was pregnant, and they wouldn't really be so hard on me. If it were Xiumei, it would be different. She pointed at the three people who were against me and said, "Didn't you eat? Or do you want to help her?"
The women she yelled at immediately became even fiercer at me, and I couldn't stop them.
I frowned and the rice was smeared on my face. My lips were pressed tightly, but it was useless.
Xiumei laughed wildly, his teeth flapping, like a demon who climbed up from hell to make fun of others. The scene did not last long. It lasted less than two minutes, and Xiumei suddenly fell to the ground.
It was really sudden. One second, he was still smiling, and the next, he was lying on the ground.
Everyone was stunned, including me. The scene was quiet for a moment, then it became very chaotic. Recalling the scene at that time, perhaps only little scar had a normal face, without a look of shock.
After Xiumei fell, everyone was in a mess. There were still grains of rice stuck to my face and I forgot to wipe them off. I stared blankly at the lifeless woman lying on the ground, probably... Dead.
Indeed, he was dead. When the prison guards heard the riot, they came over to maintain order and drive the irrelevant people away. The people in the same room were under control. Xiumei was sent to be treated. An hour later, news came that Xiumei was dead.
Maybe it was because she had been bad to others and had been so arrogant that no one was sad to hear about her death. Neither was I.
"Each of you will take turns to ask questions. Wang xiumei's body will be sent to be examined. Whoever did this will be found out immediately." Said the prison guard.
From her tone, she suspected that we did it.
People outside might be on pins and needles, but we are all people who have committed crimes and been tried, so we are relatively calm.
One by one, she was taken to ask questions, and when little scar was taken away, I paid special attention to her. She was still expressionless, with her head down, and could not see her face clearly.
"Next, Chen Qing."
I was taken to the interrogation room, where two policemen sat opposite me, asking and answering questions with a clear conscience, and answering without thinking.
"We checked wang xiumei's belongings and saw these two things. Do you recognize them?"
I nodded. "My husband brought it to me. I gave it to her."
"Why did you give her such a valuable thing?"
"When you think about a good day, you have to curry favor with her. Besides, the diamond on that ring is not big, the bracelet is not particularly expensive, and the u is not too expensive." I explained.
They put the things on the table and let me go.
Back in my room, Lian Sao asked me what they had asked me, so I picked a few questions and even sister-in-law nodded, not saying a word.
Two days later, wang xiumei's autopsy results were reported and she died of drug poisoning.
Drugs? Where did the medicine come from?
"I remember. Elder sister Xiumei had high blood pressure. She was also approved to take high blood pressure drugs, but how could she be poisoned after all these years?" Lian Sao asked the question.
"That's the question we want to ask." The prison guard said, "Who poisoned wang xiumei's food and medicine?"
We looked at each other and no one noticed anything unusual.
The prison guard's gaze swept back and forth over us as if we were all their target criminals.
After a dead silence, the prison guard stepped out in her boots and left us behind. Everyone had a different expression on their faces. Some were relieved, some were frowning and thinking, while I was staring at the little scar.
She was too abnormal, unhappy or sad, like an emotionless cold machine.
"Little scar, you did it." Lian Sao raised his voice and asked, "You hated xiumei, so you changed Xiumei's medicine? Or something else?"
Little scar didn't say a word, and Lian Sao suddenly became agitated. She tugged at little scar's hair. "Now that I'm bullying you, I want to see how you killed me!"
We all went up. Lian Sao had the best temper on weekdays. It was unexpected that she suddenly went crazy.
After all this persuasion, Lian Sao put away his temper and returned to his normal appearance. Except for his hostility towards little scar, everything else was fine.
When she was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, little scar had a stomachache. He called the prison guard to take her to the doctor. She was in great pain and didn't know what she had eaten.
After little scar went out, Lian Sao said in the dark, "I don't know what kind of evil idea is trying to kill someone."
Xiumei was usually not very popular. I don't understand why Lian Sao was so angry at little scar because of her death. I secretly asked Lian Sao beside me, "Lian Sao, how do you know it must have been done by little scar?"
"Who else is there besides her? Look at her. She's been holding it in all day long. Xiumei made her choke to death." Lian Sao's voice was shrill. "Xiumei has a bad temper, but at the very least, she doesn't hide it. Everything is on the surface, and she will do it in secret. I want to see how she will kill me."
"All right, calm down." I reached out and smoothed her chest.
She grabbed my hand and whispered three words in my ear - be careful.
When did little scar come back? I don't know. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that she was already up and using the toilet. Lian Sao was talking to someone.
Is it really her?
In the morning, we were called to work and operate a machine that I didn't recognize to sew clothes. I also had to work, not excepting pregnancy. After a busy morning, I just learned to use a machine that was superior to a sewing machine.
At noon, when we gathered for lunch, Lian Sao knocked on his bowl with his chopsticks. "Wouldn't it poison people? I want to see if there's poison in my rice."
Lian Sao buried her head and finished the meal in one breath. She didn't feel any discomfort at all. Instead, I was eating more and more wrong.
