Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 60 Really Want to Reveal the Truth (2)
"Village Chief, look at this matter, my child had good intentions wanting to celebrate my birthday, but then he was misunderstood and captured by you all," Feng Youcai spread his hands with a face full of pride, See how filial my son is."
Feng Xuxu looked at the shameless trio with a sarcastic curl to her lips, approached Feng Xi, and whispered a few words to him.
The Village Chief, at a loss whether to release him or keep him detained, was enlightened when Feng Xi stepped forward and spoke simply to him.
"Uncle Youcai, whether we have wronged your son will become clear shortly," Feng Tiemu turned and called Feng Da, taking a bottle to the town’s pharmacy to inquire, it’s from whom it was prescribed."
Feng Da took the medicine bottle and immediately rushed to the town. Feng Youcai’s eyelids twitched as he glared at his disappointing sons. Cold sweat poured down as he pondered what to do next.
The morning star faded away, the daybreak rapidly changing, with the pale white of the fish belly appearing in the sky, and cocks crowing intermittently. Dawn was breaking.
Feng Da reached the town, checking the pharmacies one by one, until he finally located the prescriber in an inconspicuous pharmacy. Without wasting words, he grabbed the Shopkeeper and ran wildly back to Feng Family Village.
"Look, Feng Da is leading someone back," Zhang Hui observed keenly as Feng Da was pulling someone along from a distance.
"Village Chief, I’ve found him, he’s the one who prescribed this medicine," Feng Da said, pointing at the panting Shopkeeper of Heqing Pharmacy while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The Village Chief stepped forward to take the bottle from Feng Da’s hand, "May I ask if this medicine bottle belongs to your pharmacy?"
The Shopkeeper of Heqing Pharmacy glanced at the bottle and surveyed the onlookers, pausing inconspicuously in one spot before slowly responding, "This is a special bottle from our Heqing Pharmacy."
"A special bottle?" The Village Chief, puzzled, asked the Shopkeeper.
"Not to hide from the Village Chief, this kind of bottle is only for poisonous medicines. Ordinary medicines are just wrapped in brown paper," the Shopkeeper explained deliberately.
"Poisonous substances? I wonder if anyone here has purchased something from your store that was in this bottle?" The Village Chief quickly pressed the question to the Shopkeeper.
The Shopkeeper scanned the crowd and spotted Feng Santian not far away. "Village Chief, it was him who bought the poison from my store."
"Village Chief, now that it’s confirmed that Feng Santian bought the medicine and Feng Eryu poisoned the fields, with all the evidence, please make a decision," Feng Luo Clan’s spirit inflated, relentlessly insisting the Village Chief rule in their favor.
The families affected by the poison followed Feng Luo Clan’s lead in asking the Village Chief to make a decision.
The Village Chief had no choice but to consult the old Clan Leader; after deliberation, it was decided to exile Feng Youcai from Feng Family Village. Feng Youcai’s family fields were to be sold to compensate the villagers for their losses. Thus, the truth finally came to light. As for the damaged rice fields, Feng Xuxu no longer involved herself. She turned and vanished into the crowd.
The next day, the sky was overcast, with low-hanging clouds suggesting an impending drizzle.
"Little sister, it looks like it’s about to rain, probably for a couple of days, so there’s no need to water the fields anymore," Feng Xi sat beside his sister, gazing at the outside sky, focusing solely on the crops in the field.
"Brother, I want to acquire land. I’m going to build an estate, creating my own food base," Feng Xuxu said, smiling as she looked at the blueprint in her hands.
"An estate? A food base?" Feng Xi looked incredulously at his sister.
