Chapter 176 Li Jinyan Poisoned
Lan Yuqing was facing the mirror and putting on the phoenix crown that symbolized the clan leader. A few days ago, she spread the news that she was looking for a son-in-law. Lan Jiaojiao was not suitable to be the clan leader. For the sake of the clan members, Lan Yuqing had to get married before Lan Jiaojiao gave birth.
At this moment, Lan Jiaojiao came over from the village entrance holding Li Jian's hand. When she saw the phoenix crown on Lan Yuqing's head, a determined light flashed in her eyes.
"Aunt, why are you doing this? I just checked with you and the men who came were either widows or old bachelors who could be your father, or short and fat, or ugly guys with pockmarks all over their faces. Marriage is a lifelong event, don't sacrifice your life's happiness just to compete with me for the position of clan leader."
Lan Jiaojiao held her pregnant belly and said disdainfully, "I asked the old grandmother and she said that I'm having a daughter. My husband is the handsome, strong and powerful Ajian. The child born from his and I will definitely be the most beautiful and outstanding."
"Even if you get married in a hurry, you may not be able to give birth to a daughter right away. Besides, how good can the daughter you give birth to with those ugly girls be?"
The She clan leader is hereditary, but anyone who is a member of the Lan clan has the right to inherit. Whoever is the most capable in this generation will take the position.
As long as Lan Jiaojiao gives birth to a daughter, even if she cannot be the clan leader now, if her daughter is outstanding enough, she can inherit the position of clan leader.
Lan Jiaojiao looked confident of winning. Not only did she have a man to help her, but her son was also a little prodigy. In the past few days, Li Jinyan asked her to resell some things, and she made hundreds of dollars in just a few days. It was more than what she had earned in one or two months before.
Having tasted the sweetness, Lan Jiaojiao treated Li Jinyan as a little god of wealth, taking him wherever she went. Wherever Li Jinyan wanted to go, Lan Jiaojiao would accompany him and also gave him a lot of pocket money.
Lan Yuqing looked at her niece's arrogant face and wanted to let the little black dog that was wrapped around her hand go and bite it.
Xiao Hei is a poisonous snake raised by Lan Yuqing. Its poison is very strange. It will not kill people immediately. People bitten by it will feel pain for 49 days. The pain will become more severe day by day, and the skin all over the body will slowly fester and fall off.
Anyone bitten by the black cat will eventually watch their skin and flesh rot and fall off piece by piece until they die.
"Chief, someone outside brought over a dozen carts of grain, oil, rice and flour, saying they want to thank you for saving their lives."
Lan Yuqing nodded and gave up the idea of biting Lan Jiaojiao to death.
Of course, she could only think about it. After all, Lan Jiaojiao was her sister's only daughter, and she was pregnant now. As the clan leader, Lan Yuqing had the responsibility to protect the already thin Lan family bloodline.
But a warning still needs to be given, otherwise this niece who has been spoiled too much by her elder sister since she was a child will become even more lawless.
"Lan Jiaojiao, I advise you to give up the idea of seizing power. I can't do anything to you, but your so-called man and his son are not from our She ethnic group. If you do something wrong, I will drive them out. You can never set foot in the She ethnic group. You take care of yourself."
After Lan Yuqing finished speaking, she didn't bother to waste time talking to Lan Jiaojiao and went straight to the village entrance to greet the person who brought the gift.
"Mom, you have to make the decision for me and dad." As soon as Lan Yuqing left, Li Jinyan raised his tearful face and looked at Lan Jiaojiao pitifully.
"Don't worry, I will never let Lan Yuqing harm you and your son." Lan Jiaojiao's face was a little ferocious. Her aunt did not show her any mercy and even embarrassed her in front of Ajian's child.
"But mother, your aunt is the clan leader. She wants to drive us out. How can you stop her?"
Li Jinyan and Li Jian are now penniless. If they go out, they will not only die, but also be homeless and have no food to eat. He wants to avenge his mother Liu Ruyan and his brother Li Shenxing. If he has to work hard to make a living, how can he have the energy to plan a revenge plan?
These days, Li Jinyan relied on his childish body to wander around Jingxi Mountain and learned that there were many treasures hidden in the clan leader's warehouse.
His soul is already that of an adult man in his twenties. His current plan is to first help Lan Jiaojiao become the clan leader, and then treat her like he did with Zhan Xinyue in his previous life, treating Lan Jiaojiao as a mother on the surface but poisoning her behind her back.
When Lan Jiaojiao is unconscious, steal the clan leader's things and sell them. After getting a large sum of money, find a chance to get rid of Zhan Xinyue.
Lan Jiaojiao snorted and laughed: "Haha, my little aunt is so arrogant and ambitious, how could she look down on those people outside? When I give birth to your sister, her position as the clan leader will be mine."
"What if she gets married? Mother, why don't we take the initiative? I bought some rat poison. Can you put it in your aunt's drinking cup?"
Li Jinyan tilted her face with undried tear marks on it. She looked soft and pitiful, but the words she said were extremely vicious.
"You." Lan Jiaojiao said in disbelief, "Li Jinyan, you are so young, how can you be so cruel?"
"Wuwuwu," Li Jinyan wiped her tears, "Mother, I'm doing this all for you. My mother was too kind before, that's why she was killed by Zhan Xinyue. I finally have a mother again, my father and I don't want to lose you."
Lan Jiaojiao was startled. Yes, the child is so young, how could he have the intention to harm others? !
It must be the departure of Li Jinyan’s biological mother that caused severe damage to his young heart.
Lan Jiaojiao figured it out and immediately squatted down to coax Li Jinyan: "Jinyan, mother knows you are doing this for my own good. But, Lan Yuqing is my aunt after all, I can't do it. She and I have been together since birth, I know her too well. My aunt will never marry those ugly men outside."
Li Jinyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Lan Jiaojiao took him by the hand and walked out of the door, "Let's go, I'll take you to see for yourself, today's son-in-law recruitment will only result in a failure."
Lan Yuqing didn't know that her life was being targeted by the little devil. At this moment, she had already met Dong Guochang.
"Hello, old man. It's hard for you to bring so many things here from so far away." Lan Yuqing, dressed in formal attire, greeted Dong Guochang gracefully.
These things were all useful to the tribesmen, and she knew that it was impossible for her and Shen Peifeng to be together, so she accepted them without hesitation, as if it was Shen Peifeng repaying her kindness.
"It's not hard, haha, not tiring at all. These things are prepared for you by Xinyue. She was going to come here originally, but I, an old man, wanted to come and see the customs and culture of the She ethnic group, and took away the work of the younger generations." Dong Guochang said cheerfully.
"Grandpa, today is the day when our clan leader is recruiting a son-in-law. You can go to the village entrance to take a look." An aunt next to Lan Yuqing said.
"Okay." Dong Guochang nodded and asked the Xu Hu brothers to move down the TV and grain, oil, rice and flour.
There were so many things, and Lan Yuqing had no reason to let the guests work hard. She immediately called the tribesmen over to move the food into the warehouse first, and then distribute it according to the number of people after the work was done.
The She people have never seen a television and dare not touch it.
Just a few days ago, Jingxi Mountain had electricity. Xu Erhu picked up a 12-inch black-and-white TV by himself and asked innocently, "Comrade, where should we put the TV? My brother has learned electricianship in the army. I will move the TV over there and let my brother put it out for you."
"Let's put it in my main room." Lan Yuqing said. Her main room was big, and the area outside was even bigger. In the future, the clan members could come to her place to watch TV together.
Lan Yuqing led the way, followed by the Xu Hu brothers. Dong Guochang didn't want to go, so he told Lan Yuqing that he was a Chinese medicine practitioner and asked her if he could communicate with the witch doctor of the She ethnic group.
Of course Lan Yuqing was willing. The She ethnic group's witch doctors had average medical skills and were completely helpless against infants' illnesses. Many children who had high fevers after birth could not be saved.
"Grandpa, we witch doctors can only save adults, not children. Please teach the witch doctors some methods to save children with fever." Lan Yuqing requested sincerely.
Dong Guochang didn't answer, but smiled and followed the person Lan Yuqing arranged to lead the way to find the witch doctor.
Medical skills cannot be learned in a short time, and with so many people in the She ethnic group, one witch doctor is definitely not enough. This place is beautiful, but it is indeed too backward. It still needs to be fundamentally changed.
Lan Yuqing was walking home with the Xu Hu brothers, and halfway there she met Lan Jiaojiao and Li Jinyan who were looking for her.
"Aunt, who are these two?" Lan Jiaojiao looked at the tough and upright Xu Hu and Xu Erhu, and she felt so regretful. These two men had thick eyebrows and big eyes, were tall and mighty, and were a hundred times better than Li Jian!
Why couldn't she control her temper when she saw that Li Jian was taller than the men in the tribe, and rushed into his bed?
"Guess." Lan Yuqing was too lazy to talk to Lan Jiaojiao. She replied with two words with a half-smile and left.
Xu Hu and Xu Erhu followed. Lan Jiaojiao looked at the three people's backs, and she was so angry that her teeth itched.
"Mother, these two men must be the men your aunt hired. Look, he even brought a TV. Where we live, a TV is part of the betrothal gift for marriage."
Li Jinyan kept on talking, brainwashing Lan Jiaojiao: "These two are both very good-looking, your aunt will definitely like them. Once she gets married, you won't have any chance at all, mother."
Lan Jiaojiao was stunned. She liked both of them, and her aunt must like them too.
"In that case, don't blame me for being cruel." Lan Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, her eyes suddenly becoming cold and vicious.
"Jinyan, give me your rat poison."
"Okay." Li Jinyan held back his laughter and took out a packet of rat poison from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lan Jiaojiao.
The two returned the same way again.
"Mother, these two people don't look like ordinary people. They look like soldiers to me. Why don't we just go all out and poison them all together. Otherwise, after your aunt dies, these two people will shoot you immediately." Li Jinyan said as he walked.
"Well, what should we do? How about we wait until they leave and then give them the drug?" Lan Jiaojiao said fearfully.
"Mother," Li Jinyan sighed, thinking that the woman in front of him was extremely stupid.
"One of them must be your aunt's man. If you poison your aunt after they leave, they will definitely hold you accountable. What I mean is, poison them all now, and when the People's Liberation Army sends people to investigate, we will say that it was your aunt who wanted them to marry into the family, but they didn't want to, so your aunt killed them in anger. After the man died, your aunt calmed down and knew that killing the People's Liberation Army was a capital crime, so she committed suicide out of fear of the crime."
"Is this okay?" Lan Jiaojiao's voice was trembling. Over the years, she hated Lan Yuqing for taking her position as the clan leader and tried every means to pull her down, but she never thought about it, nor did she have the courage to kill anyone.
Now she had to kill three people at once, and Lan Jiaojiao was shaking uncontrollably all over.
As they were about to reach Lan Yuqing's house, Lan Jiaojiao was still trembling. Li Jinyan snatched the rat poison from Lan Jiaojiao's hand in frustration. He said coldly, "Go find my dad and come back later."
Otherwise, with Lan Jiaojiao's psychological quality, she would probably confess directly when she saw Lan Yuqing.
"Okay, okay." Lan Jiaojiao didn't want to kill anyone, but she wanted to be the clan leader. Now that someone was helping her clear the obstacles, Lan Jiaojiao certainly wouldn't stop her.
Anyway, her grandmother and mother are already dead, so it doesn't matter if another aunt dies, as long as she doesn't have to do anything herself.
"Mother, you and my father come back in half an hour. After they die, you can come up and move their bodies. Let your aunt hold the knife and stab each of the two men in the neck." Li Jinyan whispered.
"Okay." Lan Jiaojiao nodded, "Jinyan, I'm lucky to have you. When my mother becomes the clan leader, I'll take you to the clan leader's storehouse to pick out a treasure."
"Yeah." Li Jinyan responded coldly, thinking to himself that when Lan Jiaojiao became the clan leader, he would steal those treasures and sell them.
After watching Lan Jiaojiao walk away and making sure that this woman would not suddenly come up and ruin his good deeds, Li Jinyan put on a well-behaved and cute look and walked towards Lan Yuqing's house.
At this time, Xu Hu had already powered on the TV and was adjusting the antenna.
"It's a mountainous area here, and the signal is not very good. I've been tuning for half a day, but there are only two channels." Xu Hu sighed.
"Two will be good enough, as it will allow the tribesmen to see the outside world through TV." Lan Yuqing said with a smile.
Jingxi Mountain is too isolated, and the She people had been beaten by the Japanese before. The older generation was afraid that if they had too much contact with the outside world, they would be targeted by the evil people again, so they simply lived a semi-secluded life.
Now, Lan Yuqing wants to lead the She people to become rich, and the first step is to change their mindsets.
"I am really grateful to Comrade Zhan Xinyue." Lan Yuqing was filled with gratitude when she heard that the gifts were all prepared by Zhan Xinyue personally.
Li Jinyan, who was carrying water, heard Zhan Xinyue's name, his face darkened for a moment, then immediately regained his innocent look, walked forward and spoke softly.
"Aunt, two uncles, thank you for giving us the TV. Please have a glass of water. This is spring water, so sweet." Li Jinyan called Lan Jiaojiao "mother", so naturally he had to call Lan Yuqing "aunt".
"When did you come? Why is there no sound? Where is Lan Jiaojiao?" Lan Yuqing frowned.
"You were watching TV just now and didn't notice me. Auntie feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so I'm going home first."
Li Jinyan smiled sweetly, holding a small plate and passing the water mixed with rat poison forward: "Aunt, uncle, it's hot, drink some water first. It's guaranteed to be sweet."
