Chapter 762: Chapter 762: To Drink or Not to Drink?_1

"Sigh!"

Seeing her best friend being pushed to such extremes, Luo Ning simply couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

She let out a sigh and quietly said to her husband, "Mo Han, how about I give Xiao Hui the hundred thousand yuan first?"

"It’s useless."

Mo Han shook his head and said solemnly, "Haven’t you realized? This whole family sees your best friend as a cash cow. Right now, it’s about buying her son a house, but later there will be renovations, buying a car, and when he has a girlfriend, they’ll want dowry money and wedding expenses."

"You could give Xiao Hui a hundred thousand yuan today for her urgent needs, but what if they ask for three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, or a million yuan tomorrow or the day after?"

Luo Ning found her husband’s words deeply resonant, yet as she watched her best friend squat on the ground sobbing like an abandoned child, she still felt terrible.

"So, what to do? Without the hundred thousand, they’ll force Xiao Hui to buy the house, otherwise her mom will drink pesticide, and it’s paraquat at that."

"Paraquat? I don’t think so!"

Mo Han chuckled lightly and said casually, "That stuff is extremely harmful to humans and has long been ordered off the Jiuzhou market, unless someone involved in chemical research has a special channel to obtain it, or if it was kept from earlier times in the countryside when working the fields."

"It’s almost impossible to get."

While speaking, he glanced over at the pesticide bottle in Xue Hongmei’s hand and then burst into laughter, "Does paraquat bubble up? Auntie, you must have bought a fake product!"

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone in the room could hear him.

"What!"

He Xiaohui suddenly raised her head, her eyes fixed on the pesticide bottle in her mother’s hand.

Just like Mo Han said, the pesticide bottle seemed to be bubbling, making a sound like when the cap of a carbonated drink is twisted open.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xue Hongmei, feeling exposed, flushed with embarrassment. Holding the pesticide bottle, she made as if to pour it into her mouth, "I’m going to drink it now!"

This time, He Xiaohui no longer reacted.

"I’m really going to drink it!"

Xue Hongmei spoke again, her gaze starting to shift evasively.

He Xiaohui, witnessing her mother’s unusual behavior, began to sense something was amiss. Knowing her mother’s greedy nature, how could she possibly seek death so eagerly?

"Sis! Are you just going to watch mom drink pesticide?"

He Yunke panicked and quickly spoke up, "Do you want mom to die, is that it?"

Mo Han chuckled and said with a hint of mockery, "How funny. You, her son, are just standing there not stopping her, yet you want your sister to do it?"

"It seems like you’re the one who wants your mom to die, right?"

"Bastard! Who gave you the right to speak here!"

He Yunke, furious but not daring to move forward, could only say to He Xiaohui, "Sis, this is paraquat! One drop and mom’s gone!"

"You can’t be so selfish! You can’t just let mom die for your own happiness!"

He Xiaohui lowered her head, lost in thought. After a few seconds, she looked up with a resolute tone, "Who exactly is the selfish one here — don’t you have any idea?"

"Mom, I’ve decided! In this life, I will marry no one but Peng Ye!"

"All the tricks you’re playing, I won’t fall for them!"

"As for the pesticide, if you want to drink it, go ahead!"

"Whatever happens, my life can pay for yours — if you die, I’ll accompany you!"

This...

Truly, the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes.

You’ve got the guts, go ahead and drink; if you die, life for a life.

No sooner had He Xiaohui spoken than Xue Hongmei’s faced flushed with embarrassment, the pesticide bottle hanging in the air, unsure whether to drink or not.

Seeing their mother had no reaction, and with her father and brother embarrassingly silent,

He Xiaohui knew that Ning’er’s husband was right — the bottle didn’t contain paraquat at all!

She shook her head, filled with disappointment for her family, "Ning’er, let’s go."

Luo Ning nodded and left the house with He Xiaohui.

Mo Han also walked out with his daughter, Mo Xiaochen. Before leaving, he taunted He Xiaohui’s mother, "Auntie, the fizz from a soda bottle cap will escape if you open it for too long. If you’re going to drink, you better hurry, otherwise, it won’t taste as good if you wait."

The He Family members didn’t dare provoke Mo Han and could only watch helplessly as he left with his daughter.

Xue Hongmei wanted to struggle further. She went to the balcony and, facing her daughter coming out of the stairwell, wailed, "He Xiaohui! If you leave this complex today, I’ll jump off this balcony!"

Upon hearing her mother’s voice, He Xiaohui didn’t shake her head this time; instead, she bit down hard and, with firm steps, continued walking out of the neighborhood.

"Damn it! Sis is really running away!"

Seeing his sister’s figure gradually disappearing from view, He Yunke became truly anxious, "Dad, Mom, if sis marries like this, what about my house?"

Xue Hongmei’s eyes rolled as she said, "I know Xiao Hui’s temperament. If we push her a bit more, she’ll definitely find a way to get that hundred thousand yuan!"

"It’s all because of those two outsiders stirring things up!"

"He Gang, quick, let’s go stop Xiao Hui first!"

"Xiao Ke, don’t you know that Scorpion guy? Get him to bring people here right away! We must stop them by any means today!"

He Yunke hesitated, "Mom, I’m not very close to Scorpion bro, if I ask him to bring people, I’m afraid..."

"Pay him!"

Xue Hongmei scolded, as if she were annoyed at their slowness on the uptake, "Tell Scorpion we’ll give him two thousand yuan, and he should bring people over fast!"

"Right, and it’s best to bring some tools."
