My younger brother caught a poisonous puffer fish and brought it home. My grandmother cooked it overnight for a snack. I saw it and secretly dumped it out, and told the family that the puffer fish was poisonous and couldn't be eaten. But no one believed me.
My grandmother scolded me for being a greedy ghost who ate the meat alone. My parents didn't get to eat the meat, so they beat me to death. My younger brother cried and said that I ate all the fish secretly and asked me to pay him back. I was injured and was thrown into the river by them, and they forced me to catch another fish. The river water was freezing cold and I couldn't bear it at all. They ignored my pleas and said that if they couldn't find the fish, they would let me die. Later, I really sank to the bottom of the river and died. I didn't expect them to have no regrets and made a lot of money after selling me. I was unwilling to accept it. Maybe God had mercy on me and let me be reborn. I opened my eyes and shook my head at the puffer fish on the table. "Such good meat should of course be given to my younger brother and elders.
I opened my eyes and looked at my brother's smiling face. I realized that I was reborn.
There was firewood burning in the stove, warm.
I didn't drown, nor was I beaten.
At this time, my brother was holding a pufferfish in his hand and handed it to grandma with a smile.
Grandma took it with a face full of surprise. Although she didn't know what kind of fish it was, she still praised her brother generously, "Our Fubao is blessed. Xiaobao is the lucky star of the Wang family."
"Who can eat meat these days, especially such rare fish meat.
"Grandma will cook the fish and give him a snack.
My brother and I were treated completely differently. I squatted under the stove and stuffed firewood into the stove.
I just looked up and was kicked hard by grandma.
I almost fell into the fire.
"What are you looking at, you bastard? Light the fire quickly.
"What fish is poisonous? I think you are greedy and want to eat it all by yourself!
Before I was reborn, I had told my grandmother that this fish cannot be eaten, it is poisonous.
But she was just like in my previous life, she didn't believe it at all.
In my previous life, I was afraid that my family would be poisoned to death, so I simply took a plate of fish and dumped it into the manure pit. I thought that saving the whole family would make my family treat me better, but I didn't expect that I would lose my life. After being scolded by my grandmother, I decided not to say anything more, and lowered my head to concentrate on making fire.
My eight-year-old brother also kicked me like my grandmother,
"Greedy girl, if you are so greedy, no one will want you in the future!"
I sneered and looked up at him. Maybe my eyes scared him, he immediately hid behind grandma and didn't say anything. Grandma quickly cleaned up the fish and put the inedible internal organs in a small bowl. "This is a good thing. Feeding chickens can lay more eggs and nourish my eldest grandson. I watched her not wash her hands the whole time. I don't know how much poison was on her hands. She was touching the fish everywhere. The aroma of fish meat soon wafted out. In the past, I was the one who served the dishes and rice to the table. This time I held the bowl and didn't want to touch the spoon. As I was struggling, grandma slapped me on the back of my head. She saw me staring at the fish meat. Maybe she was afraid that I would eat it secretly, so she pushed me aside like a thief. "You dead girl, what are you looking at? I know you have bad intentions. You want to eat meat after losing money! I instinctively took a step back, afraid of being beaten again. My brother was standing in front of the big pot, his mouth was watering, and he kept making a fuss.
"Grandma, I want to eat fish meat, hurry up and serve it!"
Grandma didn't have time to scold me anymore, she snatched the bowl from my hand and turned to coax her precious grandson
"Okay, okay, grandson, be good, we'll have dinner soon."
After she finished, she served the fish meat, and after serving it, she gave the bowl to my brother and asked him to take it to the table.
When my brother went out, grandma saw that there was a lot of meat residue and soup on the spoon, and she didn't want to waste it, so she licked it around her mouth, and the spoon was shiny. My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and I swallowed excitedly, not knowing whether the meat residue she licked would poison her. She watched me swallowing her saliva, thinking that I was greedy, and was more convinced that the fish would not be poisonous, and glared at me fiercely. At this time, I heard the sound of my parents coming back, and without waiting for her to scold, I turned around to get the bowls and chopsticks,
My parents sat at the table with shining eyes.
My dad picked up the fish meat.
"What kind of fish is this? Where did it come from?"
Grandma patted my brother's head proudly.
"My eldest grandson caught it from the river. Who else could catch a fish?"
My mother swallowed her saliva and praised him.
"These days, all the fish are caught. I didn't expect my son to be so capable."
The family laughed happily. My brother shook his head and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fish meat.
But my dad knocked his hand.
"How can you eat first before the elders have started eating? Let your grandma eat the first bite."
My brother threw his chopsticks unhappily.
But my grandmother's wrinkles became deeper and deeper when she laughed. She was happier than the New Year.
"Fubao is really a good child. Our Fubao will definitely have a bright future. Grandma is looking forward to the day when she can enjoy happiness with you." She pointed at me and scolded me.
"Unlike this dead girl, she is so clever and wants to eat it all by herself. She is so greedy. After speaking, the whole family turned to look at me. I quickly lowered my head.
Dad believed grandma's words without a doubt. He glared at me and scolded me, "You want to eat it all by yourself? I've raised you in vain. Don't even think about eating this fish today." Seeing that dad's big hand was about to hit me on the head, I quickly put down my chopsticks, pushed the fish meat to grandma and said, "No, no, such good fish meat should be left for my brother and elders." My dad snorted and put down his hands, saying to grandma, "Mom, try it quickly." My brother also knocked on the bowl with chopsticks impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up, I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish!" Grandma smiled and her face was red. She was about to take the chopsticks. I lowered my head and calculated the time in my mind. It has been more than ten minutes since grandma ate the meat residue. The poison should be about to take effect. As expected, grandma's hand that just picked up the chopsticks suddenly trembled. Her face turned pale and she touched her chest tremblingly, "Son... son... why... mom... feels so uncomfortable..." I know that this is the toxin taking effect. The teacher once told us about this. He said that there might be pufferfish in the river near my home and told us to watch Don't eat it when it arrives.
But the teacher's kindness couldn't save the damned. They didn't believe me and threw me into the river.
My dad put down his chopsticks in a hurry, and before he could say anything, grandma threw herself on the table.
Seeing my parents rushing to grandma in panic, I felt happy.
My brother seemed to be scared silly. He didn't eat the meat. He threw his chopsticks and sat on the ground crying. I stood up silently and stepped back a few steps.
Several people overturned the table in a panic, and the whole plate of puffer fish fell to the ground. It was clearly inedible. Looking at the residue on the ground, I thought it was a pity. No one got to eat it and it was thrown away.
I will find a chance to catch another one. Everyone should taste such a good thing.
Grandma was lying on the ground, twitching all over, and she looked like she couldn't breathe. It was scary. Dad was trembling, picked up grandma and ran out the door, and I ran out with him. When we got to the yard, we saw the only old hen in the house lying on the ground. When we walked over, we saw traces of internal organs on the ground. Grandma was quite quick and found a companion to walk with her. In the past, this hen would leave eggs for my brother to eat whenever it laid eggs, and if there were any extra eggs, it would be given to my father. Dad felt sorry for my mother and grandma, and sometimes he would share them with them. As for me, I never knew what eggs tasted like. Now I only felt sorry for this innocent chicken. My mother dragged my crying brother and ran out of the house after my father, and I hurriedly followed him.The village is far from the hospital, so my dad took grandma to the nearest clinic. The doctor scratched grandma's eyes, felt her pulse, and then shook his head. "She's hopeless. It could be an acute myocardial infarction, but it looks a bit like poisoning. Did the old lady take any medicine?" I don't know what death from poisoning looks like, but when the doctor said she was hopeless, my heart started beating wildly. She's dead, she's really dead. The doctor's words stirred up a thousand waves. Death from taking medicine in the village is a very serious matter. If you're not careful, you'll be criticized by the whole village. Sure enough, people around immediately started talking about it. Come
"Poisoned? Did she drink pesticides or something?
"This is an ignominious death. Didn't something happen to their family?"
"The Wang family seems to be very filial, so why did the old lady take medicine?
My parents were a little flustered after hearing a few words. They still care about their reputation.
Besides, they haven't even bought rat poison at home, so how could she be poisoned?
My father cried with red eyes and kept explaining
"How could it be like poisoning? There is no poison in our house. We don't even have pesticides. Where can we take medicine? My mother died of a heart attack. My mother has a miserable life. My mother also cried,
"The old lady died suddenly. We just finished cooking and didn't even touch the chopsticks. We finally got a fish to improve it. My mother died before she could eat a bite. We were so scared that we overturned the table.
When everyone heard that they had eaten the fish, what could the old lady think about? They just thought she died of a heart attack, and no one asked more questions.
When we got home, the scraps on the floor were eaten by cats or dogs, not even a scrap was left.
I had originally thought of collecting them, washing them, and then letting them have a meal.
But no one cared about that. The neighbors came to help clean up the mourning hall, and the house suddenly became much more lively.
I was happy to have nothing to do, so I found a corner to sit and watch the show.
I haven't seen my grandma's face until now, and I don't think it will be good, and I don't want to watch it.
My mother wiped her tears while picking up the dead hen at home.
Several aunties around advised her to mourn,
She hugged the hen and cried even more sadly.
"My hen was fed by my mother-in-law. I didn't expect that when my mother-in-law passed away, it also followed her. It's really spiritual. There were many such things in the village before. When an old man passed away, some of the cats and dogs raised at home would follow him. Now my mother thinks this chicken is the same as those cats and dogs.
The aunties didn't know what to say, so they all agreed with her.
"Yes, yes, your mother-in-law is a good person. Even the chicken followed her. It's very touching.
"This chicken is very spiritual." My mother wiped her tears and sighed, "What can I do? I won't be able to eat eggs anymore. But Xiaobao will become smarter after eating such a spiritual chicken." "Of course, your Xiaobao will definitely be successful in the future." Since it is so spiritual, why don't we all benefit from it and use it for the dinner tonight, and we can save some money. When my mother heard that it could save money, she agreed immediately.
The poison of this chicken will not kill the people who eat it, but people will still have some bad symptoms after eating it.
If I lose the money, my tuition may be gone.
I was a little scared when I thought about it. If I can't go to school, my life will be ruined.
So I immediately went over to stop her and whispered to her,
"Mom, this chicken is so spiritual, my brother will definitely have a bright future after eating it, otherwise you can hide it secretly. I thought she would listen to me for her brother, but who knew she suddenly slapped me,
My face was burning and painful, but the people around me were not surprised, and no one came to intercede. My mother suddenly became angry and pointed at my nose and scolded,
"At the beginning, your grandmother said that you wanted to keep it all for yourself, and I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that your grandmother was dead, and you still thought about it, and you are not afraid that your grandmother will come to find you. "You just want to keep it for yourself to eat secretly, so forget about it, you bastard, you always want to eat meat, get out of here and work!" I staggered when she pushed me, and all the thoughts in my mind disappeared. I couldn't help but laugh at myself. They didn't listen to me in the last life, how could they listen to me in this life? If the tuition is gone, then it's gone. I heard that orphans can ask the village to help pay for their tuition. In this case, let's die together. In order not to let them see the abnormality, I still found a job to do and tried to avoid touching the chicken. After working for a while, my dad still thought about what the doctor said about the death of poisoning, and called me and my brother aside to question. "Xiaobao, Daya, you two have to tell dad what grandma eats, and don't leave anything out. My brother held a bean paste bun in his hand and just shook his head, "Grandma didn't eat anything.
I lowered my head and agreed, "Grandma didn't eat anything, she definitely wasn't poisoned.
I didn't say puffer fish was poisonous before, and I can't say it now. If I say it now, my dad will beat me to death on the spot. After asking several times, my brother and I said the same thing, so my dad had to believe it. Fortunately, grandma licked the spoon secretly, and Xiaobao didn't see it. It's okay, the family is poor and can't afford to go to the hospital for a death certificate.
This was busy all day, until it was almost dark, everyone started to prepare the banquet.
It was called a banquet, but in fact, there was nothing delicious.
Dad took out the family's old stuff and served a table of vegetarian dishes. The only meat dish was the chicken bought by each family.
And the chicken in my family was cooked in the same pot with the others. The soup from the chicken was reluctant to be thrown away, and it was put in various dishes to enhance the flavor.
On the whole banquet, I only picked those things that were not touched by the chicken soup.
Watching the people at each table grab all the chicken, I was looking forward to what the scene would be in the evening.
