Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 55 Poison in the middle of the night
Bai Taotao didn't know anything about what happened at the entrance of the village. After she took Aunt Jin and Aunt Tan home, she handed over the task of cleaning the peanuts to the two Aunts, took a warm bath and went to take a nap. .

Taking a nap has become her habit. Even if it is past noon, she still needs to catch up on her sleep to feel energetic in the afternoon.

After waking up, she started making braised meat, garlic peanuts, and five-spice peanuts with Grandma Tan.

It just so happens that Aunt Jin can help light the fire.

Sure enough, the family still needs two helpers.

However, Grandma Tan bought it from the mall and was a good cook. Basically, she knew how to cook it without having to be told by Bai Taotao, and she was very skilled in doing it, and the taste was even better. Not bad either.

It was Bai Taotao's first time making garlic peanuts and five-spice peanuts. She originally planned to prepare the materials and explore them with Grandma Tan, but it turned out that she didn't need to do it at all. She only needed to tell Grandma Tan what she was going to do. Whatever it is, Granny Tan can help her make it, and it tastes great.

After the peanuts come out of the pot, they have a rich aroma and are very delicious. After being dried over a charcoal fire, people can’t help but want to eat them after smelling them.

It was Bai Taotao. She ate two handfuls of it after it came out of the pot. If it weren't for the fact that it was already late at night, she probably would have had to do it two more times.

Moreover, if it weren't for her pregnancy, she would have wanted to have another drink.

These peanuts, if not paired with some fruit wine, it always feels like something is missing.

It seems that when she takes Peanut to discuss business tomorrow, she can try a tavern or teahouse first.

Thinking about going to discuss new business the next day, Bai Taotao went to bed early at night.

There are two rooms in the house, one room for the two nuns. She still has one room for herself. The two nuns' rooms are also very large. She put two beds in them, which is enough for them.

Near midnight, Bai Taotao was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by a burst of noise.

Aunt Tan and Aunt Jin were also awakened, and then quickly came to the front of the house to see what was the cause.

When Bai Taotao came out of the room, he saw the two nuns stretching their necks and raising their ears, watching and listening.

"Did something happen to someone's house? Aunt Jin, please light an oil lamp and go over and have a look."

"Yes."

After Aunt Jin left, Aunt Tan brought a thin coat from the house and put it on Bai Taotao: "The wind is chilly at night, madam, be careful of catching a cold. Why don't you go back to your room first? We'll call you if anything happens."

"It's okay. I woke up. Something big must have happened. I couldn't sleep for a while after I got back to the room. It's sultry today, and it's easy to get hot even after you're pregnant. It doesn't matter if the wind blows on you." Bai Taotao said. He took off his thin coat again.

Aunt Tan just waited outside the house with Bai Taotao.

I don't know how long it took before the two of them saw Aunt Jin coming back with an oil lamp.

"How's it going? Did something happen in the village?" Bai Taotao asked anxiously.

After all, the folks in the village treated her quite well.

Aunt Jin replied calmly: "Don't worry, madam, it's not a big deal. It's just that the second daughter of the Chen family over there was bitten by a poisonous snake in the afternoon. She didn't pay much attention to it at the time. She must have been poisoned in the middle of the night. That’s why I made some noise and disturbed my wife’s rest.”

Bai Taotao smiled and said, "Why was she bitten by a poisonous snake?"

Aunt Jin stopped talking. Bai Taotao: "It's okay, tell me what you heard."

"I heard that when we came back in the afternoon, the villagers talked about the breakup with the wife over there, and the second daughter of the Chen family started quarreling with Aunt Ge. The second daughter of the Chen family scolded her so happily that she was bitten by a poisonous snake. There must have been two snakes at that time. The poisonous snake bit the second daughter of the Chen family and then ran away. As a result, the second daughter of the Chen family mistakenly thought that it was bitten by a cauliflower snake. She caught the snake at that time, and at night I also ate a meal of snake meat.”

Hearing this, Bai Taotao couldn't help laughing, "It's her. This is Chen Xiaohua's character. With food, the injuries on her body will naturally not be taken seriously."

Aunt Jin continued: "If I had given snacks and sucked out the snake venom in the afternoon when I was bitten, nothing would have happened. But after she delayed it for so long, the snake venom had spread, even if it was not highly poisonous. It will be difficult to detoxify, unless the second wife of the Chen family over there is willing to spend money to hire a better doctor."

Of course, you can also ask their wives to take action, but naturally Aunt Jin will not say this sentence again, because why should it be a multiple-choice question to say something that is impossible?
Seeing that it was not a big deal, Grandma Tan hurriedly advised: "Okay, since it's not a big deal, Madam, please stop standing outside to blow the wind and go back to the house to continue sleeping. Don't you want to discuss new business tomorrow?"

Speaking of new business, Bai Taotao turned around and went back to the house, closed the door and went back to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Bai Taotao had a good night's sleep——

As soon as she opened her eyes at dawn, she smelled a scent, which was the scent of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Sure enough, you still need someone to take care of you, so you have food to eat when you open your eyes in the morning.

After she washed up, hot meat buns, freshly baked golden butter sticks, and sweet soy milk were all served to the table.

"Madam, now that we are at home, can we do the work of handling the pig sewers ourselves?" After the meal, Aunt Tan asked while helping to clean up the peanuts while looking at Bai Taotao.

Bai Taotao replied without hesitation: "No, this work has always been left to the aunt and sister-in-law in the eldest room. Let them continue to do it. They can make some money to supplement the family income. The eldest uncle and his family are all fine."

Aunt Tan nodded: "Okay, then Aunt Jin will accompany you to deliver goods and discuss business. I will take care of the house at home. What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Bai Taotao thought for a while and replied: "Let's make something light for lunch. You can also make porridge. The weather is hot and muggy and you can only eat porridge."

"to make."

After packing the garlic peanuts and spiced peanuts processed yesterday into bags, Grandma Jin drove the ox cart carrying Baitaotao toward the county.

When passing through the village, Bai Taotao glanced at the yard of the second room of the Chen family.

Last night, Chen Xiaohua was poisoned and things made a fuss, but at this time, the second room of the Chen family was unusually quiet.

Bai Taotao thought that Chen Xiaohua's poison had been stabilized, but the next second she saw a person lying on the thatch next to the yard of the Chen family's second room. Wasn't that person Chen Xiaohua after being poisoned?
Just when I thought her poison had been stabilized, I saw her foaming at the mouth and lying on the haystack, also in a coma.

"Is the second roommate of the Chen family really so cruel that they don't want to save her?" Bai Taotao couldn't help but muttered.

Aunt Jin, who was driving the oxcart, smiled and said, "It's to be expected that I won't save him. It's not like I don't understand the second wife's old lady."

Bai Taotao nodded: "That's right. If the old lady is willing to spend money to save Chen Xiaohua, I will have to give her a high look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the oxcart stopped suddenly as it passed the corner. Then he met a familiar person, and this person was still cursing: "What a loser. I had to know that she was so lost. She should be thrown into the cesspool when she comes down."

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Taotao on the bullock cart turned her head and met Chen Liu's eyes.
