Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 90: Chapter 90 These people, they really are shameless!_1

”Hahaha...” An Jing collapsed onto Xiao Changyi, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt, it was just too hilarious.

Seeing An Jing laughing, everyone became even more terrified. She had killed someone, yet this woman could still laugh?

Attracted by the crying, people who came to investigate didn’t understand the situation until they were told that the person lying on the ground wailing had been force-fed black flowers by An Jing and Xiao Changyi, immediately causing them to become frightened as well.

Even so, they were so scared that they took several steps back, keeping a very long distance from An Jing and Xiao Changyi, afraid that they too would be force-fed black flowers.

Once An Jing finally managed to stop laughing, she kicked the still-crying villager on the ground and said, ”Hey, what we made you eat isn’t poisonous, you won’t die.”

Everyone immediately froze in disbelief.

The villager also froze for a moment, then lifted his face, which was smeared with tears and snot, and asked urgently, ”Are you serious?”

An Jing, with a look of disgust, turned her eyes away, sickened, but she still said, ”Really, you won’t die. Before I made a dish out of the black flowers, my husband here neutralized the poison in the black flowers.”

Immediately, the villager was overjoyed and got up quickly. Not dying was good, not dying was good, it had scared him to death.

The other villagers still had some doubts.

Xiao Zheng, who had been silent up to this point, couldn’t believe it either, but he took the initiative to ask, ”People have died from eating this before; it’s poisonous. What do you mean by detoxifying it?”

”I’m not very clear on that either, I only know that my husband saw someone eating it during his military service and that person was very much alive. That person told my husband there’s poison in the black flowers, but there’s a way to neutralize the poison, and then the black flowers will no longer be poisonous and safe to eat,” An Jing lied without changing her expression.

”What’s the method?” Xiao Zheng immediately asked, eyes shining. He was tired of wild vegetables.

The other villagers’ eyes also lit up.

An Jing sneered, ”Why should I tell you? So you can compete with us for the black flowers to eat? You think I’m stupid?”

Xiao Zheng’s face turned red with anger, ”We’re from the same village; how can you speak like that!”

The others also began to verbally condemn An Jing, ”Yes, we’re from the same village. Since you have a way to make black flowers non-toxic, of course, you should tell us. You can’t be so selfish and keep the method to yourself.”

”I’m selfish and keeping it to myself, so what? Are you going to kill me?” retorted An Jing, immediately. These people really have no shame! Don’t they remember how they treat her and her husband on normal days? Expecting her to teach them? Not a chance!

Everyone was left at a loss for words from An Jing’s sharp retort.

The village chief, still stunned by the earlier fright, finally snapped out of it but didn’t have the energy to ask An Jing how to make black flowers non-toxic. Instead, he turned to the villager who had been fed the black flowers and asked, ”Dashu, do you really feel no discomfort?”

The villager known as Dashu immediately shook his head, ”No, it really seems non-toxic.”

”Then let’s go back,” called out the village chief, not waiting for everyone’s reaction, and turned to leave first. He still felt frightened and needed to rest.

Seeing the village chief leaving, the rest could only leave in disappointment.

But everyone now had a piqued interest in black flowers, wondering how they could get An Jing and Xiao Changyi to reveal the method to make the black flowers non-toxic.

An Jing didn’t care about them; she returned to the kitchen with Xiao Changyi and continued eating lunch.

While eating, An Jing said with a beaming smile, ”Husband, do you know what they call ’two hearts beating as one’?”
