"It's the one next to me. Her husband was originally a peddler, selling small things from street to street. It seems that he saved a rich businessman, and the rich businessman took him to travel all over the country. He has a lot of good things that we haven't seen."

Guan's mother explained why her family gave ham as a return gift, and then continued, "My grandsons were playing at the door that day, and they accidentally hit Hui Niang with a stick. Children are always naughty, and she told me that I would not sit idly by and would teach her a lesson and make amends, but she actually slapped my grandson in the face with all her strength. My grandson's face was swollen and he cried loudly."

Guan’s mother felt distressed when she thought of what happened that day. The swelling on her face took more than a week to subside, and her grandson hardly dared to go out after that.

"Even if she wanted to teach me a lesson, she didn't have to use so much force, and she hit me in the face. Aren't the palms of the hands and buttocks good places to hit? I went to her house to argue with her, and I found that she actually cried. She also said that she was in a bad mood and did that. She said that she knew she was wrong and would never act so impulsively in the future. I thought that we were neighbors, so I should forgive her when I could."

At this point, Guan's mother sighed, "She is also a pitiful person. Not long after getting married, her husband went away to do business. He only came back for a day or two during the Chinese New Year. She never got pregnant, which made her mother-in-law hate her. She scolded her from morning to night. I didn't care about it at first, but who knew that she came to the door the next day and gave her a small piece of ham. I kept it and waited for my daughter to come back and eat it, so that she could also have a taste."

These words alone were not enough to prove that it was the ham that was the problem, so Yu Jiahe asked again, "Besides the ham, did you eat anything else special that day?"

The Guan family thought about it and shook their heads.

"Although there are mushrooms in the soup, they are what we eat every day and we are familiar with them." Wang Xiaoyu was afraid that Yu Jiahe would wonder which one was the mushroom, so she explained it first.

Yu Jiahe raised her head slightly to show that she understood.

The food they eat can no longer be checked, and the biggest problem right now is the ham.

"Let's go ask the person who delivered the ham." Yu Jiahe walked out.

Guan's mother held her back and said, "This is not a good idea. What if she didn't do it? We are all neighbors."

"Oh, mother, it's already this time and you still care about your neighbors. If it wasn't her, we should apologize to her." Guan Daqiao was furious when she heard this. She beat her own son and poisoned her own family. How could there be such a black-hearted woman?

"Auntie, we should go and ask if there is something wrong with the ham. If not, we can find out where the problem is. If it is, we can detoxify it sooner. It is better to ask than to keep the problem in our heart."

Yu Jiahe persuaded.

Mother Guan nodded and said, "Then Doctor Xiao He, you can come with me. The others can wait for my news at home first."

Guan's mother didn't expect to meet Hui Niang carrying a basket as soon as she went out.

"Aunt, I have some cakes here. If you can't finish them at home, I'll send some to you. Is Haohao home? The wound on his face has healed. I also have a bottle of plaster here, which is specially used to dissolve blood bruises."

Yu Jiahe looked calmly at the girl called Hui Niang. Her appearance could barely be called pretty, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked haggard, as if shrouded in dark clouds.

Guan's mother didn't know whether she should answer the call.

Hui Niang saw Yu Jiahe following her and felt that she looked unfamiliar. She had never seen her before and asked, "Aunt, I don't think I have seen this girl before. Is she a relative of yours? She is really pretty."

"She is Xiaohe Doctor. Everyone in our family has been poisoned, so we asked her to help us detoxify."

After hearing what Guan's mother said, Hui Niang was so flustered that she couldn't hide it at all. She asked awkwardly, "How did you get poisoned?"

Yu Jiahe realized that Hui Niang in front of her must be the one who poisoned the family. It was a bit too much to poison the whole family just because a child hit her.

Guan's mother had experienced a lot and had met a lot of people in her life, so she could naturally see that there was something wrong with Hui Niang.

"Why did you send poisoned ham to my family? Haohao hit you and you hit him back. Why did you poison my whole family?"

The basket in Hui Niang's hand fell to the ground. The poisoning was finally known, and she sat down with her legs limp.

Occasionally someone passed by and looked at this side intently.

Guan's mother pulled the man aside and picked up her basket. "If you have anything to say, come to my house and talk to me."

Hui Niang followed him into Guan's house in a daze, with only one thought in her mind: everything was over.

Guan's mother signaled to her daughter to close the door. For some reason, she didn't want the matter to become a big deal.

"You are so cruel. It's not enough that you gave us a drug that will kill us and make us infertile. You even gave us another drug. How has our whole family offended you?" Guan Daqiao asked angrily.

"No, no." Hui Niang kept shaking her head, "I really didn't mean it. I was just blinded by my own ignorance. I really shouldn't have done that. I really regret it."

As Hui Niang spoke, tears kept falling.

"You have already poisoned her, so how could it not be intentional? I will take you to see the official now." Guan Daqiao no longer cared about the distinction between men and women at this time. He pulled her hand and was about to send her to the county government office. Usually, minor fights in the village could be resolved by asking the village chief to solve them, but the matter of poisoning could not be simply let go.

Yu Jiahe checked the pastries in the basket and found that there were indeed some things on top.

"Why don't we wait for her to explain first." Yu Jiahe stopped the man.

Guan Daqiao was indeed angry, but he couldn't vent his anger in front of the doctor who could tell that he was poisoned.

Guan's mother also wanted to know why this happened. The relationship between the two families was usually good, so why would they do such a cruel thing just because of a child?

Unexpectedly, Hui Niang did not explain and said that she should be sent to the authorities directly, as she did not want to live anymore.

"Is there something put in here?" Guan Qin asked specifically after seeing Yu Jiahe check the pastries. If it was the same poison, then it could be detoxified.

"Put out the antidote." Yu Jiahe said.

Guan’s family was confused. She went to so much trouble to poison the house and then sent the antidote. What was she doing? Was this fun?

Hui Niang looked up at Yu Jiahe. She was just standing there, but it made people unable to take their eyes off her.

Do all men like the beautiful and dazzling people here?

Hearing that it was an antidote, Guan Qin asked again, "Will our poison be cured by taking this?"

"I need to ask her about this. I am not very skilled in this area yet. I need to study it further to see if I can solve all of them."

"It can detoxify." Hui Niang said in a hoarse voice, "If you eat this, you will have diarrhea for a few days, but you will be fine after the diarrhea."
