Chapter 228: Opportunity to Test the Medicine

Although those people had admitted it themselves, the villagers still didn’t believe it, especially after Su Li said a few words. Those people admitted their crimes one after another. Who would admit to something they had done wrong?

In any case, they would never admit it even if they were beaten to death. Hence, they were even more certain that these people were invited by Su Li to cause trouble.

They looked at Su Li and questioned, “Do you really think we’re stupid? Although we didn’t have a good relationship with your family in the past and have badmouthed you behind your back a few times, do you have to tease us like this?”

“Logically speaking, if you marry out, you won’t be a member of the Su Family Village anymore, so the matters of the Su Family Village have nothing to do with you. We can’t interfere if you go back to your parents’ house, but if you want to interfere in the matters of the Su Family Village, you’re not qualified.”

“That’s right. Who do you think you are? You even said that the well is poisonous. So what? We’re happy to drink it.”

“That’s right. If you think it’s poisonous, don’t drink it. We’ll drink it ourselves. We’ve really lived long enough to see it. There’s never been a problem with drinking water for decades. There’s a problem once you came back. It might be your doing.”

Su Li was speechless.

They really treated her kindness as ill intent. She should not have bothered with them.

When Su Ze heard this, he immediately couldn’t take it anymore. He rushed over. “What did you say? Was it wrong for us to kindly remind you? You pretended not to see the culprit and even blamed us!”

“Besides, my sister was born and raised in the Su Family Village. How can she not be a member of the Su Family Village? Could it be that your daughter is no longer a member of your family after she gets married?”

The villager curled his lips and said, “A married daughter is like water that has been splashed out. She’s no longer a member of the family. She’s welcome to come back as a guest, but there’s no way she can cause trouble!”

Su Ze immediately exploded. “Who are you talking about? Do you believe that I’ll beat you up?

That person shouted, “Come on, do you think I’m afraid of you? You little brat, since you dare to challenge me, I’ll teach you how to write the word ‘grandfather’ later!”

Su Jidong stood up. “Try it. I’ll teach you how to write the word ‘Father’ later.”

He Yufeng also stood over. As long as those people dared to attack, he would not be polite at all. After all, they had said bad things about Su Li just now.

The atmosphere was very tense, and Su Ze was even more restless.

Su Li pulled Su Ze back. “Su Ze, don’t be rash. It’s fine if they don’t believe you.”

Su Ze turned to look at Su Li. “Sister…”

He really couldn’t take it anymore. These people were too much. They had come over with good intentions to stop them. It was fine if they didn’t appreciate it at all, but they even attacked them.

Su Li patted his hand and said, “As long as we know that we are innocent.” Suzette snorted softly.

The villagers were very dissatisfied, but they did not want to cause trouble. One by one, they carried the water and left.

Su Jidong did not continue to stop them. Instead, he made way for them.

After everyone left, Su Jidong was a little dispirited. “Daughter, what do you think we should do now?”

Those people did not listen to him at all. They even thought that they were lying. What was most infuriating was that they still blamed this on them.

Su Li said, “Father, go tell the village chief. It’s best if he comes forward to stop it. If he doesn’t believe us, there’s nothing we can do!”

The attitude of the villagers just now made her a little unhappy, but that was only a small portion of their attitude. There were still many innocent people in the village. She did not want to ignore everyone just because she was a little uncomfortable.

In any case, she would do her best and leave it to fate. She would do everything she could and continue to research the antidote.

When Su Jidong heard Su Li’s words, he immediately perked up. How could he have forgotten about the village chief? If the village chief appeared, the effect would definitely be much better than his.

Su Jidong nodded. “Aye, I’ll go look for the village chief now.”

With that, Su Jidong ran towards the village chief’s house. This was the fastest step he had ever taken, afraid that he would be delayed if he was a step slower.

Su Li wanted to walk over and observe the symptoms of those people up close. She did not know if there were any other symptoms on their bodies after so long.

She was quite interested in this unknown thing, especially since she wanted to develop something that could cure these helpless illness.

If it was in the past, they would rarely have such an opportunity. Every time they tested the medicine, they used animals. Now, these people could give her a chance to test the medicine.

When He Yufeng saw Su Li walk over, he reached out and pulled her back.

“Come closer. If they have an infectious disease, it will be dangerous!”

The appearance of these people was really a little scary, and they did not look like they had been poisoned. This was also the reason why the villagers did not believe them just now. In their understanding, being poisoned meant foaming at the mouth!

When Su Li heard his words, she burst out laughing. “Do you think they’re sick too?!”

She thought that He Yufeng and the others believed her, but she didn’t expect them to also think that this was the cause of their illness.

He Yufeng pursed his lips and did not say anything. It was better to be safe than sorry. It was better to stay away.

Su Li explained, “They were really poisoned, but I can’t figure out what poison it is for the time being.”

Su Ze heard their conversation, but he didn’t care if they were poisoned or sick. He kicked them hard as if to vent his anger.

Last night, he went to their house and almost killed them. Then, they poisoned the village, as if they wanted to kill the entire village.

Su Ze cursed, “Damn it, not only did you try to kill us last night, but you’re also poisoning the well in the village. I think you’re tired of living!”

If not for the fact that the time was not right, he would have skinned these people right now.

He Yufeng looked at Su Li and asked, “Li, are these people going to continue to be tied up here? Or are they going to be dragged out and handed over to the government office?”

Although he already had an idea, He Yufeng still wanted to ask Su Li for her opinion.

Su Li thought for a moment and said, “Let them continue to stay here and let the villagers see their wretched appearance. If they don’t listen, these people will look like them in the future. Moreover, it’s useless to drag them out of town. They might as well be tied up here.”

The government office would definitely not do anything to them. They might even get the people behind the scenes to save them, so she would not let them off so easily.

Su Li went in front of them and asked, “How do you feel now?”

“Thirsty, we want to drink water! Give us water… Please!”

Not only was their bodies itchy, but they were also extremely thirsty. They were like a flower bud that was dehydrated and would immediately wither without water.

Su Ze spat. “What are you dreaming about? You want to drink water? It’s better if you die of thirst.”

However, Su Li said, “Su Ze, fetch some water from the well for them to drink..
