Su Qingyue thought he wasn’t eating because he was too full. She frowned, “I know you usually only eat one bowl of rice, is this too much? Choke it down for me anyways!”
His wife’s words were fierce but filled with deep concern. Xiao Qinghe felt warmth in his heart. He nodded slightly, picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, wanted to serve his wife some food, but didn’t dare.
Su Qingyue gave him a puzzled look, “Why not eating? Do you think I made bad food?”
“No.” He hurriedly put the food in his mouth, “It’s delicious.”
The two quietly had dinner.
Xiao Qinghe hesitated several times, but couldn’t muster the courage to serve her food.
Zhou Fuquan came out of the master bedroom with Wang Cuihua and walked to the window outside the secondary bedroom. Fuquan said, “Sister-in-law,
Qinghe, now that second Brother Xiao and Chuan are both fine, we’ll go back first.”
“Take care.” Qingyue stood up to see them off.
“No need.” The two left.
Su Qingyue and Xiao Qinghe each ate two bowls of rice. Having last eaten in the morning, they were hungry from not eating the whole day. Not only did they finish the rice, but they also ate almost all the vegetables on the table.
“I’m so full…” Su Qingyue rubbed her slightly bloated belly, “Qinghe, are you full?”
She stood up, cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and took them into the kitchen. The brown rice porridge cooking on the stove was almost done. She cut the leftover uncooked vegetables and beef into small pieces, added them into the porridge, stirred, and covered the pot. It would be done in a little while.
She quickly reduced the stove fire by removing a few pieces of firewood, leaving only two to burn, to prevent the porridge from sticking to the pot.
After quickly washing the bowls, she fetched a bowl of warm water and entered the master bedroom.
Checking the time, she could remove the silver needles stuck in second brother’s chest and head. She pulled out all the silver needles and threw them into a bowl of water to soak and clean.
After cleaning the silver needles and emptying the water, she filled the bowl with clean water again.
She went back to the side of the bed in the master bedroom, checked the pulse of the second brother, the snake venom hadn’t further spread, and his pulse had stabilized. She moved to where Xiao Yuchuan was lying, pried open his eyelids and took a look.
She then checked his pulse again, confirming that he was indeed poisoned.
A few days ago when she checked his pulse, he was clearly healthy, there was only a slight stagnation of blood flow, but that was a normal condition, a minor one, which would naturally go away in a few days. She hadn’t put much thought into it back then.
Now his blood flow was indeed blocked, and he was in a deep coma.
She went into the secondary bedroom and asked Xiao Qinghe about Xiao
Yuchuan’s condition, “How long has your third brother been ?”
“Almost four years.” Xiao Qinghe looked worried, “At first, third brother would suddenly faint once every three or four months, then gradually increased to once every two or three months, but this year it’s worse, he would suddenly faint once a month or so.”
“What did the other doctors say?”
“Doctor Sun from the village can’t figure it out. Four years ago, second brother took third brother to town for treatment. The doctors couldn’t tell what was wrong with third brother, they simply said it was a rare condition. Only one doctor prescribed some medication, and third brother would wake up after taking it for a few days. However, the doctor also said the medication only forcibly took control of third brother’s blood flow, it relieved the symptoms but didn’t cure the disease. Afterwards, whenever third brother would faint, second brother would go to town to get medication for him.”
Su Qingyue pondered and thought it best not to hide it, “Your third brother isn’t sick. He is poisoned.”
Xiao Qinghe’s face changed, “But the Xiao family has no grudges with anyone…”
“Someone definitely poisoned him..”
