Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 325 Zhou Mei Poisons
The police said that Wei Laoda died in the hospital this morning despite all efforts to save him. Zhou Mei couldn't bear the shock and became deranged, running around the hospital in a mad rage.

They would grab a man and berate Wei Jingyuan, and grab a woman and berate Tao Qiuyi.

The poisoning incident was something Zhou Mei herself made up about at the hospital. She even grabbed her sister-in-law, Li Yuegui, by the neck and almost strangled her to death.

Only then did the people at the hospital call the police.

After hearing what the police officer said, everyone present fell silent and roughly understood what had happened.

Zhou Mei poisoned the food at Wei Jingyuan's house, intending to kill Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi. However, unexpectedly, the poisoned food ended up being eaten by Wei Jingyuan's eldest son, who was the one who died from the poison.

She couldn't handle the blow, went insane, and then blurted out that she had poisoned him.

This whole thing can't be described simply by the phrase "by chance".

Wang Chunjuan whispered in Huang Lingyu's ear, "This Zhou Mei usually seems honest and simple, how can she be so ruthless? She actually tried to poison Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi to death."

Thinking about how good her relationship with Zhou Mei was, Wang Chunjuan felt a chill run down her spine. She also hated Tao Qiuyi, but she never thought of poisoning Tao Qiuyi to death.

Huang Lingyu rolled her eyes; she didn't even want to criticize Wang Chunjuan's taste.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart, I don't blame you." This was a half-hearted attempt to comfort Wang Chunjuan.

Hearing her daughter's words, Wang Chunjuan was instantly comforted. The worry on her face vanished, and she smiled and said, "My daughter is so thoughtful."

Hearing Wang Chunjuan and Huang Lingyu's conversation, Tao Qiuyi felt a pang of frustration for a few seconds, realizing her hearing was too good. She glanced at the mother and daughter, then looked away and focused her gaze on Zhou Mei's face.

She really hadn't expected Zhou Mei to poison the food.

Grabbing Wei Jingyuan's arms with both hands, Tao Qiuyi stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "How much must your aunt hate us to poison our food and try to kill us?"

To poison their food in an attempt to kill them is not just a matter of personal grudges, but a deep-seated hatred.

"I don't know." Wei Jingyuan shook his head. Seeing her struggling on tiptoe, he stepped down the next step. So, one person was on the step, and the other was at the bottom, their heights complementing each other perfectly.

Lowering his voice as well, Wei Jingyuan said, "My aunt always acts like a nice person in front of others, but nobody knows what she's like behind closed doors."

He'd seen plenty of people like that on the battlefield—one way in public, another in private. The vast majority of such people were spies; those chosen to be spies all had several faces.

"She's two-faced, isn't she?" Tao Qiuyi thought back to the few times she had met Zhou Mei.

There was nothing wrong with Zhou Mei's expression, tone of voice, or even what she said. Wei Jingyuan was right; Zhou Mei was indeed very good at hiding her true feelings.

Since Zhou Mei concealed it so well, how did he find out? Tao Qiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hey, Wei Jingyuan, when did you realize that your aunt had such amazing abilities?"

Wei Jingyuan replied, "When I returned from military service two years ago."

"It was when you were limping." Tao Qiuyi was somewhat surprised, yet not entirely.

Two years ago, Wei Jingyuan returned injured, and Zhou Mei must have thought he was finished. Since she could no longer get anything from him, she no longer needed to pretend in front of him.

“Hmm.” Wei Jingyuan nodded. “She probably thinks that my leg is crippled and my future is ruined, so she’s too lazy to pretend to be a good person in front of me.”

at the same time.

The captain quickly recovered from his shock, his face pale, and asked the police officer, "Officer, my brother... he... is he really... really dead?" Actually, the captain already knew the answer; his sister-in-law Zhou Mei's erratic behavior was the best proof. He was only asking the police officer for confirmation because he didn't want to accept the truth.

"If your older brother is called Boss Wei, then he's really dead. The hospital certificate states that he died from poisoning despite all efforts to save him," the police officer said truthfully.

The captain's mind went blank again. He could understand every word the police officer said, yet it seemed like he couldn't understand it at all.

The police officer continued, "During her mental breakdown, Zhou Mei revealed many things. But she didn't explain who brought the poisoned vegetables to the hospital for the deceased, Wei Laoda."

"We are here today mainly to investigate this matter, and we ask for the cooperation of the brigade leader and the villagers."

The captain closed his eyes tightly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "We'll cooperate, we'll definitely cooperate."

After saying this, the brigade leader turned to the villagers and loudly relayed the police officer's words: "Fellow villagers, the police officers are here to investigate who gave my elder brother the poisoned vegetables at the hospital."

"We hope everyone will cooperate. If you have seen it, please speak up. If you haven't seen it, please don't cause trouble."

"Captain." Tao Qiuyi walked up to the captain, looking at the police officer, "The police want to find out who brought the poisoned vegetables to the hospital."

"I suggest you ask Wei Laosan."

"Third Brother, what does this have to do with you?" the captain asked curiously, then turned to look at Wei Laosan. He saw that Wei Laosan looked dejected, as if he had suffered a severe blow.

The surrounding villagers also started discussing it.

Why did Tao Qiuyi want the police to question Wei Laosan? What does this have to do with Wei Laosan?

"I don't know, maybe Wei Laosan did something?"

"What can Wei Laosan do? He can only accuse Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi of poisoning Wei Laoda."

“That’s right, as soon as Wei Laosan came back… wait, I remember Wei Jingyuan just asked Wei Laosan. He didn’t go to the hospital, and he didn’t bring anything for Wei Laoda to eat. How did he poison him?”

“Yes, yes, I remember now. Wei Laosan said that Wei Jingyuan asked him to take the things to the hospital for Wei Laoda to eat.”

"In other words, it was Wei Laosan who took the poisoned vegetables to the hospital for Wei Laoda to eat."

"The poison was put in by Zhou Mei, and the food was brought by Wei Laosan to Wei Laoda. This matter has nothing to do with Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi."

This speculation caused an uproar among the villagers.

These villagers are so adorable; they don't need anyone to guide them, they analyze things thoroughly on their own. Tao Qiuyi could control herself from laughing out loud, but she couldn't stop the smile from spreading across her face.

Not wanting to cause trouble for herself, she rested her forehead on Wei Jingyuan's shoulder.

Suddenly, a weight settled on his shoulder. Wei Jingyuan turned his head and first smelled the fragrance in her hair, which startled him.

"Quiet down, everyone. We must speak with facts and make sure we don't create or spread rumors," the police officer said, and the crowd stopped talking.

The villagers' analysis came to a conclusion that was almost entirely true. Wei Laosan felt like a joke, having completely shot himself in the foot.

For the first time, he hated himself for being too fast.
