Chapter 36: Helpless

Su Mian let out a sigh and got up, “Doctor Ma, we can’t save them. They have been poisoned. It’s cyanide poisoning. The possibility of saving them is low!”

“Is there really no hope?” Doctor Ma was unwilling to give up and tried to open the victim’s mouth.

“Don’t touch them. Cyanide is highly toxic. A small amount is fatal and can enter through the mouth or skin,” Su Mian pulled Doctor Ma outside to the courtyard, and the ambulance arrived at the same time.

Eight people had been carried up the vehicle. One of the victim’s wife and child were crying inside the courtyard.

Su Mian had finally recalled it. In her past life, eight people ate the old Guo family’s flour-made pastry. Seven of them died and one had luckily survived.

The ambulance gradually disappeared in the distance. Doctor Ma looked at Su Mian with an entranced expression, “How did you determine it was cyanide poisoning?”

“I simply deduced it. They were all lying on the ground, appearing like twitching rats that had eaten poison. We had learned in our chemistry class before that the current rat poisons in the market are mostly made of cyanide,” Su Mian had also made a gamble. In this era, only a few people had graduated from junior middle school. The people who could graduate from junior high were only a tiny number.

Doctor Ma nodded and patted Su Mian’s shoulder, “Whether this is true or not, you are definitely a good doctor material.”

Those words made Su Mian a bit ashamed. If she had not been reborn and did not have the medicine tower, she would also not know about those things.

What happened after was the same as her past life. Only one person was lucky to survive.

This matter alarmed the provincial public security department.

Everyday, police cars would be seen driving past the place, but the case ended up being unresolved. For the time being, everyone in the village was on alert, but it was eventually drowned out by the New Year mood.

However, Su Mian’s grandmother was not affected by any of it at all.

Grandma Su’s birthday was on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. Because her eldest son was able to earn money from selling furniture, she had proposed to have a good family time together.

Su Jiang Hai and He Qin remained quiet. On the other hand, Su Jiang Hai and Bai Yu Lan took the initiative. With just a few words, they convinced Grandma Su and Su Mian’s aunts into going to Su Mian’s home.

Having no choice, Su Mian and Su Jin Long went to the county to buy meat and vegetables. On the second day, Su Jiang Hai’s home was livier than the previous years.

In the past, Su Mian’s three aunts did not even want to enter her home. They were afraid that Su Jiang Hai and the others would borrow money from them.

He Qin made the dishes and Su Mian kept the fire lit. They prepared two days’ worth of dishes.

Grandma Su, seeing her sons and daughters, her in-laws, and all her grandchildren, felt happy inside.

“In those past few years, solely raising six children had truly not been easy. In those days, I joined the men to earn some wage. Finally, I was able to help my children get married.”

Su Mian truly wanted to spit at her face. Everyone in the village knew her grandmother was frail and weak. She wouldn’t even bring back a single stalk of grass when she was asked to work.

If she was not her grandmother, Su Mian would have already said those punishing words. Su Mian really wanted to give her a slap to the face.

“Now, the eldest son has money. I think you should give my three daughters 300yuan each, and my two sons 500yuan each. My eldest son and daughter-in-law, you shouldn’t have any objections, right?” The old lady folded her legs on the brick bed and smacked her lips on her tobacco pipe.

Su Jin Long was about to stand up but was pulled back down by Su Mian.

Su Jiang Hai and He Qin lowered their heads without speaking.

Su Mian felt that her father and mother were too naive. Her grandmother was really going to chop off their heads, but the two of them were forced to look like obedient newlyweds.

“Mother, what are you doing? That is big brother’s money,” The one who spoke was Su Mian’s third uncle, Su Jiang Bo.

“So what if it’s his money. I gave birth to him, so his money is also mine,” The old lady immediately pulled a long face when she heard this, “I want money, and he still doesn’t dare give me,” After saying so, the old woman tapped the tobacco pipe on the brick bed three times with a manner as if she owned the house.

Su Mian’s second uncle, Su Jiang Tao, looked at his brother. He originally wanted to say something but Bai Yu Lan crossed her eyes. The words that had reached his throat were strongly swallowed back down.

Bai Yu Lan was a well-known shrew. If she said to go east, Su Jiang Tao would not dare go west. They had already been married for 20 years and Su Jiang Tao was already squeezed dry by her. To this day, even he did not know how much money they had in the bank deposit.

Su Hong sat in her chair and watched the drama. She was also wondering how much money her uncle actually earned from selling furniture. She and her mother only casually spoke about it to Grandma Su, and she decided to bring everyone here to collect money.

Luckily, her mother was staying quiet. Otherwise, they would be the ones who had to give away their money.
