Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 29 Pigs get sick because...

"Ningning, what are you looking for?" Yao Chunhua asked in a low voice. She could tell that her daughter seemed to be looking for something.

Soon, Gu Jianing used a twig to rummage through a pile of leftovers from the pigs. Her gaze quickly settled on something, and she found a clean, large leaf. She used the twig to move the food onto the leaf. "Mom, do you recognize this? Have you ever fed it to the pigs?"

Yao Chunhua leaned closer to take a look, and quickly realized what it was all about. "This, this is pig manure bean! How did this get here? I've never fed pig manure beans to pigs."

Because of her surprise, Yao Chunhua's voice rose considerably.

At this moment, the villagers outside all heard it.

"What? Pig poop beans? Pigs only act like this after eating pig poop beans?"

“Those pig manure beans are poisonous, how can you feed them to pigs?”

Old Zhang was the first to step forward and look. His cloudy eyes immediately recognized it. "That's it, these are pig manure beans. So that's why."

His eyes were filled with approval as he looked at Gu Jianing. This girl was quite good; she had actually noticed something he hadn't and even recognized the item.

A long time ago, some people were poisoned after mistakenly eating pig manure beans. Later, after the knowledge about this plant was popularized, people would avoid it when they saw it, and would not pick it or step on it.

At this moment, Yao Chunhua had already taken the large leaves to the outside of the pigsty.

"Look everyone, this is what my Ningning just found. Do you know what it is?"

Experienced villagers stepped forward, squinted at it, and quickly recognized it.

"Isn't this a pig manure bean?"

"Yes, although it's broken, you can definitely tell it's a pig manure bean."

"Aren't those pig manure beans poisonous? Oh my god, the pigs got sick from eating these pig manure beans."

"Chunhua, how could you feed pig manure beans?" Qin Zhaodi complained, about to dump a bucket of excrement on Yao Chunhua's head.

Yao Chunhua glared at Qin Zhaodi and said angrily, "Qin Zhaodi, if you're not thinking straight, do you want me to give you a good whack and fix it?"

"Everyone who has been up the mountain knows this pig manure bean, and everyone knows it's poisonous. I must be blind to have prepared this stuff for the pigs to eat."

"I've been raising pigs in this pigsty for three years now, how could I not know the difference between pig feed and pig manure beans?"

Qin Zhaodi muttered under her breath, "Maybe you're just blind."

Yao Chunhua sneered, "If I were really blind, how could I have raised such a fat pig for the first two years without any problems?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers nodded in unison.

This is the truth.

Even a child knows what pig manure beans are; it's impossible that Yao Chunhua didn't understand them and still fed them to the pigs. After all, she was in charge of the pigsty, and if anything happened to the pigs, she would be the first to take responsibility.

Moreover, everyone knows what kind of person Yao Chunhua is.

"Aunt Yao, then according to what you said..."

Yao Chunhua calmed down and became more assertive. "When I left last night, these pigs had already eaten. I planned to feed them this morning, but they wouldn't eat. My pile of pig feed is still there, perfectly fine. This means that from yesterday evening until this morning, someone secretly fed the pigs pig manure beans!"

"If that's the case, then we don't know if this person is after me, Yao Chunhua, or if they're after something that could harm our village's collective interests."

These words immediately caused a stir among those present.

If this person is after Yao Chunhua, or even the Gu family, that's fine. But if they're after the village's collective interests, then this person is too wicked and absolutely cannot be let off. Sure enough, someone spoke up, "Qin Zhaodi, you were jumping around so enthusiastically just now, could it be that you secretly fed those pig manure beans to the pigs?"

After all, Qin Zhaodi clearly had a grudge against Yao Chunhua.

Qin Zhaodi's eyes widened. She hadn't expected that she would be suspected simply because she didn't like Yao Chunhua. She immediately jumped up and said, "I am also a member of Huaihua Village. I am also looking forward to eating pork at the end of the year. How could I possibly want this pig to die?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Zhaodi's eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a plan. "I think it's unlikely for people from our village, but it's more likely for these educated youth, since they didn't get to get pork."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Qin Zhaodi's words made some sense.

It's unlikely that the villagers of Huaihua Village are looking forward to eating pork, but it's more likely that the educated youth are. Although these educated youth are relatively well-behaved now, they won't forget how troublesome they were when they first arrived.

"Don't make unfounded accusations. Do you have any evidence to support your suspicions?"

“We are highly educated people, how could we possibly do something like poisoning pigs?”

"Catch the thief red-handed! Has anyone seen it? If you don't have evidence, we'll go to the commune leaders and call the police to give us justice."

At this moment, the educated youth also managed to unite, a rare occurrence.

The villagers and the educated youth started arguing, and there was a commotion outside the pigsty.

Until Old Man Gu stepped forward and scolded, "Stop arguing, everyone."

"Everyone should think about whether anyone has approached the pigsty from yesterday evening to this morning."

"If someone sees it, and there is evidence, then we can say these things."

"The most important thing now is for the pigs to recover."

The brigade secretary, Gu Shun, who was also a cousin of the Gu family, spoke up, "That's the absolute truth." After saying that, he looked at Gu Jianing, "Ning girl, since you've figured out that the pig got sick from eating pig manure beans, do you have a way to cure it?"

All eyes were fixed on Gu Jianing, even Old Zhang's.

After all, he had seen cases of pig manure bean poisoning before, but he had never actually treated it. Once he discovered that someone had pig manure bean poisoning, he would directly advise them to go to the hospital.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Gu Jianing lived up to their expectations, "Yes."

She then named several medicinal herbs and asked Old Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, do you have these herbs at your clinic?"

Old Zhang nodded hurriedly in reply, "Yes, yes."

"Then I'll go to your place now to get the medicine and brew it while I'm at it."

"of course can."

When everyone heard that Gu Jianing was going to Old Zhang's place to get medicine to treat the pig, they breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the pig could be cured, that was all that mattered.

Gu Jianing didn't dare to delay. The pig's condition was not optimistic, and it needed to be given medicine as soon as possible. If it was delayed any longer, acute poisoning could kill the pig.

However, before leaving, Gu Jianing quickly spent 5 points in the system shop to buy something.

[Scent tracker: Valid for one month. It can automatically locate and mark anyone who has directly touched an item, regardless of distance.]

Gu Jianing currently only has 20 points, but she feels it's worth spending these 5 points, as long as she can find the person who framed the Gu family.

"System, activate the scent tracker and trace the last person who directly came into contact with this pig manure bean."
