Xia He suddenly remembered why she had come over. She turned to Qiao Mei and said, “Do you still have any of Xia Xing’s clothes from when she was younger? If you don’t need them anymore, give them to me.”
“Why? Does Brother-in-law curb your spending?” Qiao Mei asked.
“The baby grows up too quickly. She outgrows her clothes after just two months. It’s such a waste of money. I don’t have the skills that you and Mother have. I don’t know how to do needlework, so I can only eye your Xia Xing’s old clothes,” Xia He said.
“Sure. I’ve already asked Sister Feng to pack them together. We even found clothes which Xia Xing has never worn before,” Qiao Mei said.
“How can you be so good at predicting things? How do you know that I will come and ask you for clothes?” Xia He asked curiously.
“Because when I was in Country M, Eldest Sister-in-law called and asked me for Xia Fan’s clothes from when he was younger. She told me the same things you just did, so I guessed that you would definitely need Xia Xing’s old clothes too. That’s why I have prepared them in advance. Anyway, even if both of you didn’t raise this issue, I would have donated these clothes to the villages in the mountain areas,” Qiao Mei said.
“Oh! Then you should give the clothes to the children in the mountain areas!” Xia He said.
“It’s fine. I’ve already gotten the rich wives in the capital to donate clothes. They don’t lack these few pieces of clothes from us. I have also bought a lot of baby products for the children, so don’t worry,” Qiao Mei said.
Xia He heaved a sigh of relief. She just wanted to be more thrifty. Even if her family had money, they could not just squander it without a care. Money would eventually run out one day. She could not use resources so freely just because she had money.
The two of them chatted about their parenting experiences and Xia He only returned home after dinner.
The next day, Xia Wen made his move. He arranged for all the current and retired government employees as well as their relatives to undergo a physical examination. It was almost time for the staff’s annual physical examination, so the superiors did not have any objections to his arrangement. They were happy to do the Xia family a favor.
Although Huang Quan was in jail, he was still a government employee in the past. Huang Zhong qualified for the physical examination session, but it would be the last time for him.
The results were out very quickly. Huang Zhong failed all the various tests and all the indicators came out red. It showed that he was on the verge of suffering from multiple organ failure!
This test report shocked all the superiors. They hurriedly arranged for Huang Zhong to be hospitalized and all the Huang family members rushed over. You Yu had already lost Huang Quan and she could not lose Huang Zhong!
“Doctor! What’s wrong with my husband! Why is he like this? He takes care of his diet and rarely smokes or drinks. He also has a habit of exercising all year round. How can this be?” You Yu asked anxiously.
“He has been poisoned, but we can’t say for sure what kind of poison it is,” the doctor said hesitantly.
“What do you mean? Why don’t you know what kind of poison it is? Can it be an incurable disease? Is it arsenic!” You Yu asked fearfully.
“No! Our initial tests show that it’s a pesticide, but we can’t say for sure what kind of pesticide it is. It’s very likely to be a combination of many types mixed together,” the doctor said.
You Yu was so shocked that she collapsed and sat on the floor. The Huang family members stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do.
Tan Jing had never intended to kill the people who dined at Li Gui’s restaurant. She only wanted Li Gui to have to close down the restaurant after those people fell sick. When that happened, Li Gui would have to go to jail. The two people Qiao Mei cherished the most were Qiao Qiang and Li Gui. These two people drank Qiao Mei’s ginseng juice all year round and could be said to be “immune to all poisons”. She could not hurt them at all, so she could only target things around them.
After the two poisoning incidents at the restaurant and the vegetable fields, she came up with the idea to poison and kill the Huang family members. She did not know which type of pesticides were lethal enough, so she mixed all the common pesticides together and added one or two drops into the water they used every day. As time passed, these pesticides would eventually destroy the Huang family members’ internal organs! They would definitely die!
The doctor observed all the Huang family members and said warily, “All of you don’t look too good either. I think you should all do a checkup.”
“Sure, sure, sure! We’ll do it!” Huang Can said fearfully.
The hospital arranged for a VIP route for the Huang family and the results were out two hours later. The entire hospital was in an uproar after that. This could be considered the largest case of attempted murder by poisoning in the past decade!
The hospital quickly called the police station to make a report. All the test indicators of the Huang family members came up red. Even the baby, who was less than one year old, had also been poisoned!
“What a vicious woman! She’s such a b*tch! She doesn’t even let go of her own flesh and blood! This child is only a few months old! If we only discover this later, the child will be dead!” You Yu cried as she hugged her grandson.
The child usually only drank milk, but the water used to wash the bottles contained the poison. He did not consume much of the pesticide, but because he was born prematurely, the amount could have killed him.
