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 it. 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 previous 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 also just guessed it. They were all lying on the ground, appearing like twitching rats that had eaten poison. We had learned it in our chemistry class before- the current market rat poisons 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 pass senior middle school entrance exams were only a tiny number.
Doctor Ma nodded and patted Su Mian’s shoulder, “Whether this is true or not, you are definitely are a good doctor material.”
These 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 these things.
The development after was the same as her previous life. Only one person was lucky to survive.
This matter had startled the Interstellar Police Agency.
Everyday, police cars would speed past the place, but the case ended up being unresolved. For that time period, 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. It’s said that after the eldest was able to earn money from selling furniture, he had proposed to have a good time together.
Su Jiang Hai and He Qin stayed docile. On the other hand, Su Jiang Hai and Bai Yu Lan were glib-tongued. With just a few words, they had tricked Granny 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 even more lively than the previous year.
In the past, Su Mian’s three aunts did not even 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. That year, I had joined the production team and worked with the men to earn some work points. Finally, I had helped my sons marry daughters-in-law, and daughters marry sons-in-law.”
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 these punishing words. Su Mian wanted to give her a slap to the face.
“Now, the eldest has money. I think you should give my three daughters 300 each, and my two sons 500 each. Eldest and eldest’s wife, you shouldn’t have any objections right!” The old lady folded her legs on the heatable brick bed and smacked her lips on her tobacco pipe.
Su Jin Long was able to stand up but was pressed 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 already going to chop off their heads, but the two of them were forced to look like obedient newlyweds.
“Mom, 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 owns 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. Su Jiang Tao had already been 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 talked to her grandmother, and her grandmother had brought everyone here to divide some money.
Luckily, her mom was staying quiet, else the money that would be divided would be theirs.
