My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty-Chapter 67 - Big Trouble

67: Chapter 67: Big Trouble

67 -67: Big Trouble

Father Tang naturally couldn’t get hold of Tang Jianjun, but Tang Jianbing had just returned and invited them inside.

“He found a pharmacist who is skilled in identifying medicines to help us!”

Tang Jianbing looked at Tang Chuxia, his eyes full of pain.

Tang Jianjun couldn’t stand his dawdling.

“Just spit it out!”

“It’s a slow-acting poison that makes people gradually fall asleep and eventually die in their sleep.

It’s easily overlooked because it’s rare, and the plant itself is hard to find.”

After he repeated what the pharmacist had said, the Tang Family fell silent.

Although they had some suspicions, it was only when they faced the reality that they realized it wasn’t so simple—it was a clear intent to kill Tang Chuxia.

“I’m going to kill her!!!”

Tang Jianjun suddenly stood up from his chair, about to rush out, but Tang Jianbing held him back, and Father Tang also shouted, “Come back!”

“Is there a mistake?”

Father Tang still couldn’t accept it.

Tang Jianjun sneered, “What?

Did you not expect that the daughter of your gold-digging ex-fiancée could also be so cruel?”

Father Tang: …

This matter can’t be ignored, right?

If it weren’t for the tense situation, Father Tang would have definitely beaten his brash son.

Fortunately, he remained rational and ignored Tang Jianjun’s comment, instead asking his younger son, “Are you sure the pharmacist is reliable?”

Tang Jianbing nodded.

“It was Elder Huang who recommended him.

Initially, Elder Huang couldn’t identify it either and thought there was nothing amiss.

But the bean sauce tasted odd, so he asked me to consult that pharmacist.”

Since it was Elder Huang who recommended him, there shouldn’t be an issue.

That meant Tang Wanqiu really was cruel-hearted.

The entire family was furious, only Tang Chuxia remained calm.

This was all within her expectations; there was nothing surprising.

“Xiaxia, I’ll take you to Elder Huang to fetch more medicine!” Tang Jianjun, feeling sorry for his sister, was ready to take her for treatment, but Tang Chuxia was speechless.

Elder Huang had already prescribed medicine for her, and its bitter taste nearly destroyed her taste buds.

Every time she drank such bitter medicine, she wondered why Western medicine pills could be coated in sugar and why traditional medicine couldn’t be.

Then Elder Huang said, “Good medicine tastes bitter and is beneficial for the disease!” Seeing Tang Chuxia skeptical, he chuckled, “Only if the medicine tastes bitter will you not dare to get sick casually.

Otherwise, if medicine tasted good, who would fear sickness?”

Tang Chuxia: …

Although it made no sense, there was a sliver of logic that made it hard to argue against.

So she tried to drink as little as possible.

But she couldn’t voice this out loud, instead she smiled and said, “Let’s take it slow.

I know my own body.

But aren’t you curious why Tang Wanqiu is so determined to kill me?”

She twiddled her fingers.

“Moreover, I heard from Grandma that Tang Wanqiu has a scar on her shoulder.

Shouldn’t we check that to confirm whether she’s been swapped out?”

After she suggested this, Father Tang shook his head.

“Your grandmother was fooling you.

There’s no scar, she was just bluffing!”

Tang Chuxia: …

It seems everyone in the family has their own agenda; she suddenly understood why the family liked the original owner so much who was simply naïve and sweet.

Tang Wanqiu wasn’t swapped out, but what had she been through all these years?

“Wait two days, when we go back to visit Grandpa and Grandma’s graves, shall we investigate then?”

Tang Jianbing suggested, and Father Tang nodded: “Your elder sister-in-law is pregnant, it’s also a good time to tell your grandparents.”

Tang Chuxia suddenly remembered that there was a little life about to be born, and she was supposed to become an aunt, so she must prepare a nice gift for their first meeting.

Given the results of the examination, the atmosphere at home was terrible.

Nobody felt like eating, and on the other side, Gu Beihuai had just lain down when his mother grabbed him by the ear and pulled him up.

“Look at the state you’re in!

You rarely come home on leave and just sprawl out like this.

People might think you’re incapacitated or something!”

Mrs.

Gu waited until her son was seated properly before letting go of his ear.

Rubbing his ear, Gu Beihuai said grumpily, “Mom, could you be a bit gentler in the future?

How is it that you’re like Norman Bethune healing the wounded at the hospital but turn into Sun Erniang at home?”

Hu Shuanghong was really infuriated.

Do sons really talk to their mothers like this?

Fortunately, she maintained some control, “Talk nonsense again, and I’ll give you an injection!”

Gu Beihuai shut his mouth.

His mother really would give him an injection, as she had many times during his childhood, and it had given him a psychological trauma.

Madam Tang, seeing him quiet down, then asked, “When I came back, why did I hear Little Douzi at the alley’s mouth say you kissed a girl, who is it?”

Gu Beihuai clenched his teeth.

He felt like cursing Tang Chuxia to death.

Indeed, troublemakers never softened their blows with him.

Gu Beihuai didn’t want to explain, but his mother’s gossip-hungry look was far too obvious.

He was about to speak when Gu Nanzhi came back from outside and overheard this remark, immediately interjecting, “Mom, it was Xiaxia!”

Hu Shuanghong: (⊙_⊙)?

That expression was a mix of bewildered and incredulous.

Gu Beihuai also shouted, “Gu Nanzhi, are you asking for trouble?”

Gu Nanzhi wasn’t afraid of Gu Beihuai since there were other family members around, meaning Gu Beihuai couldn’t really hit her.

She quickly hid behind Hu Shuanghong, “Mom, see?

Isn’t this being furiously embarrassed?”

“If he wasn’t guilty, why would he get so worked up?” Gu Nanzhi retorted with her neck shrunk, further validating her point.

Hu Shuanghong finally realized what she had heard.

She looked around and eventually spotted a feather duster hanging on the wall.

Gu Nanzhi also noticed her mother’s gaze, and quickly fetched the feather duster like a sycophant.

Mrs.

Gu shook the feather duster in her hand and started lashing it at Gu Beihuai, shouting, “I’ll kill you, you scoundrel!

All these years you’ve bullied Xiaxia enough, and now as an adult, you still do such unreliable things?

Are you trying to anger me to death?”

She really felt like she had raised a scoundrel.

Gu Beihuai jumped around trying to evade, feeling his mother was about to explode.

“I didn’t, don’t listen to her nonsense!”

The result of Gu Beihuai’s explanation was Gu Nanzhi putting her hands on her hips and retorting, “Mom, my brother is really inhuman, trapping Xiaxia in a corner of the alley and kissing her, just like an overbearing king, absolutely shameless!”

Mrs.

Gu got even angrier.

“Gu Beihuai, you’ve got some nerve, unable to outdo Xiaxia and now resorting to despicable tactics, I’ll beat you to death, you bear!”

Mrs.

Gu chased him, and Gu Beihuai was infuriated and wanted to hit his sister.

Gu Nanzhi stood with her hands on her hips, beaming brilliantly.

What are brothers for if not to provide entertainment?

She even stuck her tongue out at Gu Beihuai, payback for all the times he picked on her.

All return to him now.

Mrs.

Gu chased Gu Beihuai into the yard, just as Father Gu came home and saw the scene.

He wasn’t surprised but whispered to his daughter, “What trouble has your brother gotten into this time?”

Gu Nanzhi sighed, “Huge trouble!!”
