Chapter: 1256

Vivi's affair can be considered settled now.

Xiao Changjian's inner anger subsided a bit, Old Madame Xiao's words indeed had an effect.

So, the whole family of five lay back on their bed again, the doctor seeing the dramatic end to the commotion also quickly came to give them intravenous injections to neutralize the alkaloids inside their bodies.

However, he suddenly felt itchy and uncomfortable at his crotch, quietly scratched a few times without realizing it got itchier.

But he thought this was a symptom of poisoning and didn't pay too much attention to it.

At this moment, Tang Chen's words were like a stormy weather.

Leaf's family had just finished dinner.

Two middle-aged men wearing suits knocked on the door, respectfully saying to Leaf: "Mr. You're welcome, we are from Tang Chen's Real Estate Management Company, and just recently, there was an outbreak of mass food poisoning in our small district A04, with a family of five taken away by ambulance, so we came specifically to remind all property owners to pay attention to food safety and hygiene, and please be careful."

Before Leaf could speak up, his mother-in-law Ma Ran walked over curiously: "A04's family of five was taken away by ambulance? What happened to them?"

One of the men in suits respectfully said: "Ma'am, hello, the residents of A04, a family of five, were all poisoned by food and sent to the hospital. Do you have any wild animals or wild mushrooms at home that your family has consumed?"

Ma Ran smiled and said, "Oh, we wouldn't eat that kind of thing. Unlike A04's family who was so poor they stole vegetables from someone else's house to eat!"

The people from the real estate company looked embarrassed and said, "We're also reminding you to be careful about this. Since you have a sense of caution, it's even better than before."

After the two real estate people left, Ma Ran laughed and said, "Oh, isn't that just evil getting what they deserve? I always knew Xiao family didn't belong in Tang Chen's apartment complex! And sure enough, something happened, haha, God really has an eye on things!"

Xiao Chunran curiously asked, "Mom, how did it happen?"

Ma Ran laughed and said, "Grandma and the others got food poisoning and were taken away by ambulance. Ha ha, they definitely got what was coming to them!"

"Food poisoning?" Xiao Chunran was astonished and asked, "How could they get food poisoning? Didn't they just steal our vegetables? We're fine."

Xiao Changkun also looked puzzled and said, "They must have eaten something that wasn't fresh meat."

Leaf spoke calmly and said, "I think they probably ate my type of water lily."

"Good grief?" Xiao Chunran was astonished and asked, "Where did the water lily come from? How could they have eaten it?"

Leaf smiled and said, "The plant I cultivated at the foot of the wall, which looks like a type of Chinese chives, is actually a water lily."

"What's going on?" Xiao Chunran exclaimed. "Isn't that just Chinese chives? I was really looking forward to eating some!"

Leaf chuckled. "It looks like Chinese chives, but it's not."

Xiao Chunran said, "I remember reading in biology books that water lilies are toxic, aren't they?"

Leaf nodded and smiled. "Yes, they are. Water lilies contain a type of alkaloid that can cause poisoning if consumed excessively."

Ma'er was taken aback, exclaiming, "Oh no, Leaf! You're doing it on purpose? That's why you asked me what my mother likes to eat, and I told you she loves Chinese chives, but you went ahead and planted all these water lilies, trying to trick them?" JrNovels.com
