Chapter 460: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 9
Chen Mufeng glanced at the chopped mushrooms on the plate and explained, "Mom, you don't know. Not all mushrooms are poisonous. The poisonous ones are the brightly colored ones. In the past, the villagers didn't know how to distinguish them and ate poisonous mushrooms by mistake, which led to poisoning."
Wang was slightly startled, and looked at Chen Mufeng, wondering: "Liu Lang, is what you said true? Did you read it in the book?"
Chen Mufeng glanced at his third sister-in-law, who looked unhappy, coughed lightly, and nodded slightly, "Yes, I read it in a book."
If he said that it was his third sister-in-law who told him, his mother would definitely not believe it.
It would be better to let my mother think that she saw it from a book, which would be more convincing.
Wang frowned, still a little skeptical, "We can't trust everything in the book. What if this mushroom is an exception?"
Chen Mufeng smiled faintly, "Mom, I think the appearance of these mushrooms matches the characteristics of non-toxic mushrooms described in the book. And my third sister-in-law also said that she knows these mushrooms."
Upon hearing this, Qian couldn't help but fan the flames, "Sixth brother, don't be fooled by her. Can you believe everything in the book? This concerns the lives of our entire family!"
Chen Mufeng frowned and looked at Qian, wanting to explain.
But thinking about my second sister-in-law and mother's temper, I was afraid that no matter how much I said, they would not believe it, so I swallowed the words in my mouth.
He walked to the stove, reached out to pick up a piece of chopped raw mushroom from the plate, and was about to put it into his mouth.
He was certain that his third sister-in-law would not lie to him or harm the entire family.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
"Sixth brother (Liu Lang), no!"
Wang and Zhao shouted at the same time.
Especially Wang, she shouted until her voice broke.
Yu Yao was slightly startled, looking stunned.
This man believed in himself so much that he actually tried mushrooms on himself?
Although mushrooms are not poisonous, if they are eaten without being cooked, people with poor gastrointestinal function may suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort, indigestion, abdominal distension and other symptoms.
She wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Chen Mufeng had already eaten the mushroom. He looked at Yu Yao and said seriously, "Third sister-in-law, I believe you."
Yu Yao was touched and her expression softened. "Sixth brother, why are you so stupid? If anything happens to you, I will be the sinner."
Wang walked up to Chen Mufeng, anxious and angry, her eyes red, "How can you be so reckless, kid? If anything happens to you, I won't live anymore."
As she spoke, tears began to flow and she was about to dig into Chen Mufeng's throat, wanting him to spit out the mushroom.
Zhao was afraid something might happen, so she hurried out to ask the village doctor.
Qian was also frightened. She never expected that Chen Mufeng would try mushrooms on himself.
Is it true what the book says? Is it really not poisonous?
When Chen Mufeng saw his mother picking his mouth, he was so scared that he kept backing away.
"Mom, don't be like this, I'm really fine."
He looked helpless and didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere. It was obvious that the mushrooms were not poisonous.
Wang cried and scolded, "You silly child, you said you were fine, but it will be too late when the poison takes effect."
He then tried to dig it out again, using various methods to induce vomiting.
In short, it’s a toss-up.
Chen Mufeng kept dodging, but Wang was too difficult to deal with and refused to listen no matter what he said.
He looked as if he would die of the poison in the next second if he didn't spit out the mushroom.
Yu Yao watched from the side, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
With Wang's treatment like this, even if Chen Mufeng is fine, he will be in trouble.
She walked forward and stopped Wang, "Mom, please don't be in a hurry. Sixth brother doesn't seem to be in any serious trouble now. Let's wait and see, and don't make him suffer."
Wang refused to listen, and threw her hand away, shouting, "What do you know, you unlucky person? If the poison takes effect, it will be too late."
Yu Yao was too lazy to pay attention to Wang and simply pulled Chen Mufeng away.
Wang's face turned blue with anger, and she jumped up and down and cursed: "You jinx, you black-hearted thing, you are deliberately trying to kill my son!"
"Oh my! What sin did our Chen family commit to marry such a black-hearted daughter-in-law. Oh, God, if you have eyes, please strike this vicious woman to death." Wang jumped and cursed, her voice was so loud that even the neighbors living next door could hear it.
Afterwards, they all climbed up to the top of Chen's wall to watch the fun.
Even the gate of the Chen family was crowded with people.
When Qian saw her neighbors watching the fun, she was not only angry, but even more excited, and kept fanning the flames.
"That's right, mother. My third brother's wife is not a good person at first glance. Maybe she was a ghost in her previous life who came to harm our family. You can't let her off easily."
As he said that, he was about to pull Yu Yao.
Wang cried and made a fuss, and did not forget to drag Chen Mufeng back to induce vomiting again.
Chen Mufeng finally couldn't stand it anymore, and anger rarely appeared on his gentle face, "Mom, sister-in-law, please calm down. If you keep making trouble, the whole village will know. I know my own affairs, and I am in good health."
Wang was very angry, "You kid, you treat me like this for this woman. She is a disaster. She must have done something wrong in her past life and is here to take our lives."
Just then, Zhao came with Doctor Li from the village.
Seeing a large group of people crowded at the door, Zhao frowned. Could it be that something had happened to her sixth brother?
Thinking of this, he was terrified. He hurriedly pushed aside the villagers who were watching the fun and pulled Doctor Li in.
As soon as Doctor Li entered the yard, he felt the tense atmosphere and frowned slightly.
Wang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly pulled Doctor Li's arm, "Doctor Li, please take a look at my son. This unlucky person got some poisonous mushrooms from somewhere and tricked Liu Lang into eating them. You have to save him!"
Doctor Li walked quickly to Chen Mufeng, carefully checked his complexion and eyes, and took his pulse.
Everyone held their breath and watched intently.
After a while, Doctor Li slowly spoke: "There seems to be no sign of poisoning at the moment, but eating raw mushrooms may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Pay attention to his diet and physical condition in the next few days. If he has abdominal pain, diarrhea or other abnormalities, come to me immediately."
Wang was still a little worried after hearing this, "Doctor Li, is everything really alright? Is this mushroom really not poisonous?"
Doctor Li nodded. "Based on the current situation, that's the case, but we still need to observe carefully."
Qian curled her lips and didn't say anything, but there was still suspicion in her eyes.
Yu Yao looked at Doctor Li and said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Li. I'm sorry for your trouble."
Doctor Li waved his hand and said, "We are all from the same village, it's only natural. But don't take risks like this again. You were lucky this time, but you may not be lucky next time."
After saying that, he turned around and left with the medicine box on his back.
The villagers who came to watch the fun gradually dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to see, but they were still talking in low voices along the way.
"This is really strange. Liu Lang was fine after eating the mushroom. Could it be that this mushroom is really not poisonous?"
"Doctor Li said that Chen Liulang showed no signs of poisoning, which means it must not be poisonous. Perhaps we didn't know how to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms before, so we thought that all mushrooms were poisonous."
"Whether it's poisonous or not, Chen Liulang is really brave to try it. He is really risking his life. Has he become stupid because of reading too much?"
"Who knows?"
The villagers' discussions gradually faded away and the excitement died down.
The Chen family courtyard finally returned to peace. After all this trouble, the braised rabbit meat in the pot was burnt.
Yu Yao frowned and looked at the burnt braised rabbit meat, feeling regretful.
Wang looked at the burnt braised rabbit meat in the pot and cursed again, "You jinx, you can't even cook a meal properly, and you've wasted the good rabbit meat like this, you're such a spendthrift!"
Qian was so distressed, "Oh, this is such a waste of a pot of good rabbit meat, it was so delicious, and it's gone just like that."
Although Zhao didn't say anything, there was pity in her eyes.
Yu Yao looked at Wang and sneered, "Mother, if you hadn't been making a fuss here, how could the rabbit meat have become mushy? Now you blame me, it's really funny."
Wang was furious when she heard this. "How dare you talk back? If you hadn't brought those poisonous mushrooms, would this have happened?"
Seeing that the quarrel was about to break out again, Old Man Chen, the eldest son Chen Xiutian, and the second son Chen Xiuhe, who were working in the fields, came back carrying hoes.
