Chapter 2073 The Appearance of Distress
"Koji, you can't drink that one." After the shock, Kiriyama Yuaki realized that he should stop it. "That's a tonic soup specially for women. Boys can't drink it."
"I think it's okay to drink a little." After tasting it, Li Xuehao was sure that there was indeed a trace amount of toxins in the tonic soup. Although it was very small, if you drink it for a long time, the toxins would accumulate in the body and the body would gradually be affected. Destroyed by toxins.
"Auntie Xing'ai, are you the only one who drinks this soup?" Li Xuehao looked at the girl and the two little girls. Their faces were healthy and rosy, and they didn't look like they were poisoned.
"Yes, this is a soup specially stewed for me to give birth to a son." Kiriyama Yugai said the last sentence extremely quietly, but it could not escape Li Xuehao's ears.
In other words, if you drink more of this tonic soup, you can give birth to a son?
This is of course nonsense, but one thing can be determined from this. Her mother-in-law probably did not intend to poison her, but she found this folk recipe for giving birth to a son from somewhere. The medicinal materials in it contained certain of toxins.
"Auntie Xing'ai, you can't drink this soup." Li Xuehao put down the soup bowl and continued before she could ask, "There are certain toxins in the soup. Although it is very small, if you drink too much, it will damage your body." It will slowly collapse, which is why your body is always weak.”
"Poisonous?" Kiriyama Yukiai was still in shock, but her second daughter Shujia had already shouted, "How could it be poisonous? Grandma would not harm her mother."
"Perhaps your grandma doesn't know that the tonic soup contains toxins." Li Xuehao said his guess and glanced at the closed door intentionally or unintentionally. Someone was eavesdropping outside.
"Yes, that's it." The girl said firmly. She would never believe that grandma would harm her mother, but she would not let her mother continue to drink soup. "Mom, you can't drink the soup anymore. What do you want your brother to do?" , I think my sister is very cute, I don’t want any younger brother."
"Shujia!" A scolding came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and the gray-haired strong woman walked in from the outside, with a stern look on her face that made people feel terrible.
"Grandma..." The girl was like a mouse seeing a cat, whimpering and not daring to say anything.
The two little girls who were licking the candy were also stunned with fright. The older one quickly covered her mouth, and the smaller one almost dropped the candy inside with her mouth wide open.
The lady glanced at the two of them and naturally saw the candies in their mouths, but she just frowned slightly and said nothing. She looked at her daughter-in-law who was a little uneasy on the bed: "Xingai, are you feeling better?"
"I'm much better, mother-in-law." Kiriyama Yuki said, cheering up.
"What do you mean you're much better? I see your health is still so bad." The lady looked at her still pale face, her tone was slightly harsh, and she suddenly turned her head and stared at the young man in the room, "You said my supplements are poisonous? "
"Not bad." Maybe others would be afraid of her sharp eyes that could see through people, but Li Xuehao didn't care at all.
"Young man, do you have any evidence?" Madam stared at him closely, as if she would not let him go unless he could provide evidence.
"There is no medicine in this world that can help give birth to a son." Li Xuehao looked at her indifferently. Only those stupid women who knew it was impossible but still hoped for a miracle would believe it.
"Is this why you think the supplements are poisonous?" The lady looked sharply.
"Of course not. In fact, Bu Tang himself told me." Li Xuehao smiled faintly, completely unaware of her sharp gaze.
"Did Bu Tang tell you?" Madam narrowed her eyes, already showing signs of anger. Bu Tang was not a human being, so how could he speak.
"If you don't believe it, you can take it for testing." Li Xuehao said lightly.
The wife stared at him closely for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything harsh. She probably didn't care about arguing with a junior: "I will confirm this matter." After saying this, she looked at her daughter-in-law on the bed, "Before it is confirmed, Xing Ai, please stop drinking."
"Yes, mother-in-law." Kiriyama Yuki obeyed her words.
"Remember, your body is your own, and you must know how to take care of yourself." Madam admonished her. Maybe she also regretted letting her daughter-in-law drink that unidentified tonic, but she was always strong, and there was no way she would do it in front of her daughter-in-law. Show it.
"I will, mother-in-law." Kiriyama Yukiai lowered his eyebrows.
The lady nodded, seemingly satisfied with her answer, but turned her head and her eyes became sharp again: "Young man, since you are Xingai's nephew, you can stay here tonight."
Li Xuehao couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that she would ask him to stay. She had been so indifferent just now and wanted him to leave quickly.
"Sorry, I have to rush back to the hotel later, I'm afraid I can't stay."
Madam's face darkened, probably because her invitation was rejected, and her eyes that had softened became cold again: "It's up to you." After saying that, she turned around and left.
When she walked out, Kiriyama Yuki said with regret: "Koji, you shouldn't refuse."
"Auntie Xing'ai, I didn't come to Korea alone. I have to go back and join my companions later." Li Xuehao understood what she meant, but he was not from this family and there was no need to accommodate that powerful wife.
"Companion? Are Naomi and Sawako here too?" Kiriyama Yuki suddenly misunderstood.
"No, Naomi is in a cram school and she doesn't have time throughout the summer vacation. Aunt Zuohezi doesn't have time to come either. I'm traveling with... friends." Li Xuehao explained.
"That's it." Kiriyama Yua was a little disappointed and didn't know what to think of. She looked ahead in a daze.
"By the way, Auntie Xingai, that... madam, I heard that you have been in trouble recently?" Li Xuehao asked pretending to be casual. Originally he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but judging from the facial features he just observed, the other party has been in trouble recently. He might be jailed, and this might implicate Aunt Xingai and her daughters, so he couldn't stand idly by.
"My mother-in-law's surname is Park, and everyone calls her Mrs. Park, or President Park." Maybe she felt it was inconvenient for him to call "that lady", Kiriyama Yuki gave a brief introduction, "There are some problems in the company, but my mother-in-law We will take care of it. Haoji, since you have come to Korea, let Shujia take you to have a good time. Despite her young age, she is very familiar with the Han River area, and she is more familiar with various places than I am. "
Hearing that she didn't want to talk more about Mrs. Park, Li Xuehao could understand. After all, due to his age, the company's problems were matters for adults and had nothing to do with juniors like him, and he couldn't help. But she would never have imagined that what her mother-in-law encountered this time was not a simple problem. Her face already showed the appearance of being in jail, which showed that the problem was not so easy to solve.
