Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Everyone in the Family Is Aware

"Doctor, my younger brother has been drugged with sleeping powder," Yang Ming said anxiously. "Please examine him again, to see if there’s any serious harm!"

The family was surprised to hear Yang Ming’s words; it turned out that this morning, there was a reason why Xiao Yang Dong couldn’t be woken up, no matter how much they tried.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dong himself was quite baffled. No wonder he had felt such a headache and dizziness upon waking, "Big brother, what’s going on?"

"Let’s take his pulse first. We can discuss this matter later," the doctor suggested.

After examining Yang Dong, the doctor said, "There’s nothing serious, no need for medication."

Once it was confirmed that he was alright, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since there was no serious issue, Yang Dong would still need to take the trip to get the medicine.

Just as Yang Dong stepped out of the door, he ran into the eldest and second brothers, who had just returned from their maternal home. They had been wondering who had arrived, seeing the ox cart at their doorstep, never expecting it to be the town doctor.

They overheard the situation with Xiaoxiao at the doorway, and after the doctor left, they all hurried into the third brother’s room to visit.

The Yang family patriarch realized that something significant must have happened. Otherwise, the fourth son wouldn’t have been drugged, and the third daughter-in-law wouldn’t have fainted from anxiety!

"Xiaoqiu, you stay with the children and look after your sister-in-law. Everyone else, come out with me to the main house," he instructed.

"Yes!" Yang Qiu responded, realizing that her father had a significant matter to discuss!

The family gathered in the main house, and as soon as they were inside, the Yang family patriarch couldn’t wait to ask, "Third son, tell me the truth, what exactly happened? How could your younger brother have been drugged? Why did your wife faint from anxiety?"

"Father, if I tell you, you all mustn’t get agitated. Xiaoxiao fainted because of hearing about this very issue!"

The family, sensing the gravity of the situation, nodded in agreement, silently reminding themselves not to get too worked up upon hearing the news.

"The fact is, my younger brother was drugged so that someone could poison our Sauerkraut with rat poison!" This issue couldn’t be hidden forever; the family had to know about it sooner or later.

"What!" The news struck the family like a bolt from the blue. Just as life was getting better, how could someone sabotage them like this?

"Has the sauerkraut been poisoned?" Yang patriarch asked urgently.

"Most likely. Whatever sauerkraut is left, it’s all contaminated. We haven’t examined it closely yet because Xiaoxiao fainted," Yang Ming reflected, guessing that even if the sauerkraut wasn’t poisoned, it was likely ruined. Who would dare sell it? What if something happened!

"What do we do now?" Yang Ming’s mother began crying when she heard the news.

The others, upon hearing this, also looked distressed. How much silver would they lose? This was a significant problem, and no one knew what to do—the only person who usually had ideas was still lying unconscious.

"Let’s report it to the government office!" At this moment, Boss Yang Chun spoke up.

"Report to the government? Which farmer wasn’t sent back with a beating? That government office is a place where silver talks! Without silver, don’t even think about going there!" Yang Gang, the second oldest, pointed out.

His wife immediately scolded him after his comment, "Are you dumb? Don’t we have silver now?"

"Enough, everyone stop arguing. And you, mother, stop crying and adding to the confusion. Let’s wait for the third daughter-in-law to wake up, and then we’ll follow whatever the third son and his wife decide," the Yang patriarch interjected.

With the father’s word, everyone fell quiet.

"Father, whether Xiaoxiao wakes up today or not, I am going to report it to the authorities tomorrow!"

"Alright, go ahead. Now, go back and take care of your wife. Everyone else, head back to your own rooms!"

With that, the family dispersed. Yang Ming returned to his room, allowing Yang Qiu and the others to leave, as he wanted to keep watch over his wife alone, waiting for her to wake up.
