Chapter 1533: Chapter 1408: She Has No Strength Left
Song Tan’s expression was serious: "Bought in the 90s, but it’s just as poisonous." When it cos to poison, whether it’s expired or not doesn’t affect its chemical stability.
Chen Yuan nodded: "What I an is... this dicine... ahem, has been opened."
He had just observed the bottle; not only was there no seal on the cap, but the liquid inside was only about half full. The only uncertainty was when it had been unsealed.
Now everyone was a bit stunned.
What does this an?
Not only is it old poison, but it has also been unsealed and evaporated early?
The crowd of vegetable pickers gossiped their way to the door, refusing to budge. Master Jiang, looking stern with an apron on, stood at the doorway, alongside the gossipers.
At that mont, another middle-aged man ca rushing breathlessly to the entrance—
"Mom, haven’t you had enough? You won’t be satisfied until you’ve sent the whole family to jail to eat porridge, huh!"
Everyone looked and was stunned—
"Uncle Zhou?"
"Uncle Maozhu!"
The new workers didn’t know that this unreasonable old lady trying to poison was actually the mother of Zhou Maozhu, who had been quietly frying tea in the factory!
Ah, this...
The onlookers’ gazes flitted back and forth, caught in the dramatic tug-of-war between the mother and son.
If only the old lady cared about her son, her reputation wouldn’t have been like this over the years. Yet she plopped onto the ground without a word and started tugging at her clothes:
"Oh my heavens! Who am I doing this for anyway? You heartless Song Family, occupying soone else’s house and land..."
Whoa!
Clearly everyone stood far from the entrance, yet seeing this, they unconsciously took a step back—the old lady was really pulling her clothes off, which they didn’t want to see. But what she said was juicy gossip; whether they believed it or not, they were eager to bite into it!
They were reluctant to move, but Song Tan lost patience, stepped forward, lifted the old lady by the arm, and deftly pressed down on an acupoint, causing her arm and leg to go numb, halting her disrobing halfway.
Luckily it was late spring, temperatures weren’t too high, especially in rural areas where it’s cooler, and elderly villagers habitually dressed in layers. Only after much effort was she down to her floral shirt... otherwise, they would’ve been in big trouble!
Song Tan settled her into a seat: "Old Lady Zhou, hold your words for now, or when the police arrive, your agitation might undermine your credibility."
As she spoke, she checked the ti: "How long until the police arrive?"
Chen Yuan was intently watching the places she had just pinched—he knew about a certain nerve, but how the old lady cald down with just a pull was beyond him. With the older lady’s skin so fragile, none of them dared to use force...
Upon hearing this, he imdiately replied seriously: "We’ve contacted them before, and they were very cooperative. They’re taking this report seriously—"
Checking the ti: "They should be here in about 10 minutes at most."
A major poisoning case, especially at a farm with so many people, deserves urgency, else what’s the point of their pay? Might as well retire early.
Old Lady Zhou spat insults imdiately—she’s never been one to heed advice!
Song Tan ignored her, rely resting a hand on her shoulder, causing Old Lady Zhou to quiet down at once. Then she turned to Zhou Maozhu and paused: "Uncle Zhou, please call the family, so they’re here when the police arrive and it’s easier to communicate."
Zhou Maozhu, expression numb, quietly took out his phone and called his siblings: "Co back, Mom’s done sothing again..."
"What do you an ’I don’t care’? You haven’t cared either, yet here we are, possibly facing jail. Better co back."
"Mom’s done sothing again, co back and see—before she lands in prison. Don’t howl! What can I do with your kid taking exams..."
Though on the phone, his emotions were stable enough that, glancing around, everyone knew without a doubt Old Lady Zhou was a repeat offender.
Poor kid studying for exams, all for nothing.
But then thinking of the poisoning attempt—an oversight could’ve sent them all away, so what’s there to feel sorry for?
When caught, she was by the canal, cap already unscrewed. If not for their exceptional Security Team, snatching her would’ve been another matter!
This realization made everyone shudder. Who knew a peaceful village could be more thrilling than a city! No wonder Sister Liu Liu laughed when they wanted to farm in the village...
Really, against soone with Old Lady Zhou’s ntality, given the speed she disrobed, if she charged into their fields to snatch their pumpkins and corn, what could they do?
Everyone sighed in exasperation.
At that mont, however, Zhou Maozhu glanced at the dicine bottle, hinting at mories: "This dicine..."
He hesitated, about to say sothing when Song Tan, looking calm, said: "Even if this dicine is expired, it doesn’t lessen its toxicity. It seems the old lady is truly bent on killing us all—nevertheless, its potency needs to be confird by professionals."
"Uncle Zhou, don’t worry, she’s her and you’re you... it won’t affect our cooperation."
Zhou Maozhu remained silent.
What cooperation? He’s just working for the Song Family, and as a tea fryer, there are several of the sa level in the ten miles and eight villages, nothing rare.
Now that his mother has done this, he truly feels ashad to stay!
But leaving would an losing such a good salary, his wife’s work, and with this story spreading, his son Zhou Tianyu’s tough future dating prospects... what should he do!
He completely stopped talking.
Chen Yuan, understanding the subtext, also imdiately said: "Yes, this poison is especially dangerous, and even if expired, its toxins remain unchanged. It must be severely punished this ti!"
The expired poison is still potent, but if it’s been opened for decades, then maybe...
But who says it’s not toxic? Who dares guarantee it isn’t?!
Best to wait for the police’s tests.
Anyway, they all knew Old Lady Zhou intended to poison for real, not faking deterrence. This poison... probably because she’s frugal.
As for Song Tan, she took out her phone, looking at Wu Lan’s nurous voice ssages and couldn’t help but sigh—if the police didn’t co soon, with her mother and grandmother heading this way, they might as well tear Old Lady Zhou apart on the spot!
"Alright." She sighed: "In the anti, close the door, export the video and save a copy, so when the police need it, you can just give it directly."
Chen Yuan hesitated: "That old lady is ruthless, what if she no longer wants to live while inside?"
Song Tan gave him a aningful look: "Don’t worry, she doesn’t have the strength now."
