Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Real Reason Pigs Get Sick Is...

"Ningning, what are you looking for?" Yao Chunhua asked softly, noticing her daughter seemed to be looking for something.

Soon, Gu Jia Ning used a twig to poke around a pile of leftovers the pigs had eaten. Quickly, her gaze locked onto something, and she found a clean, large leaf to place it on with the twig. "Mom, do you recognize this thing? Have you ever fed it to the pigs?"

Yao Chunhua came over for a look and quickly understood. "This, this is pig dung bean. How could it be here? I’ve never fed pig dung bean to the pigs."

Surprised, Yao Chunhua’s voice rose significantly.

Outside, the villagers heard this.

"What, pig dung bean? The pigs got sick from eating pig dung bean?"

"The pig dung bean is poisonous. How can it be fed to pigs?"

Old Zhang was the first to step forward for a look. His cloudy eyes immediately recognized it. "That’s right, it’s pig dung bean. So that’s the reason."

He looked at Gu Jia Ning with approval in his eyes. This young girl was impressive, discovering what he hadn’t and recognizing the object.

A long time ago, someone mistakenly ate pig dung bean and got poisoned. After that, knowledge about it was spread, and people always avoided it when they saw the plant, never picking or stepping on it.

By now, Yao Chunhua was outside the pig pen with the large leaf.

"Everyone, look, Ningning just found this. Does anyone know what this is?"

Experienced villagers stepped forward, squinted, and quickly recognized it.

"Isn’t this pig dung bean?"

"Yes, although it’s crushed, it’s definitely pig dung bean."

"Pig dung bean is poisonous. My goodness, the pigs are sick after eating this pig dung bean."

"Chunhua, how could you feed pig dung bean to pigs?" Qin Zhaodi opened her mouth to complain, trying to place the blame on Yao Chunhua.

Yao Chunhua glared at Qin Zhaodi, "Qin Zhaodi, if you have issues with your brain, should I give it a knock and fix it for you?"

"Anyone who’s been up the mountain knows pig dung bean is toxic. I must be blind to use such a thing to feed the pigs."

"I’ve been raising pigs in this pen for three years. Wouldn’t I know the difference between pig grass and pig dung bean?"

Qin Zhaodi muttered softly, "Maybe you really are blind."

Yao Chunhua sneered, "If I were really blind, could I have raised such large, healthy pigs in the previous two years without any problems?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreement.

The logic was sound.

Even children know pig dung bean, there’s no way Yao Chunhua wouldn’t know, let alone use it to feed the pigs. After all, she’s in charge of this pig pen, and if there’s a problem, she’s the first held responsible.

Moreover, everyone is clear about Yao Chunhua’s character.

"Aunt Yao, based on what you’re saying..."

Now composed, Yao Chunhua spoke with authority, "When I left last evening, the pigs had been fed. I intended to feed them again this morning, but they wouldn’t eat. The pile of pig grass is still there. This implies that someone secretly fed pig dung bean to the pigs between the time I left in the evening and this morning!"

"If this is true, then who did this might not only be targeting me, Yao Chunhua, but also aiming to harm our village’s collective interest."

These words unsettled everyone present.

If this person targeted Yao Chunhua or even the Gu Family, it wouldn’t be as bad as targeting the village’s collective interest. Such a person could not be tolerated.

This prompted someone to speak up, "Qin Zhaodi, you were so enthusiastic just now. Could it be that you secretly fed the pigs pig dung bean?"

After all, it was obvious Qin Zhaodi bore a grudge against Yao Chunhua.

Qin Zhaodi’s eyes widened, shocked to be suspected just for not getting along with Yao Chunhua. She immediately jumped up, "I’m a part of Huaihua Village, waiting for the year-end pork too! Why would I want the pigs dead?"

"Don’t talk nonsense." Qin Zhaodi rolled her eyes, quick to come up with an idea in her desperation. "I think it’s unlikely to be one of us villagers, but it could be one of those educated youths, since they don’t get any pork."

Upon hearing this, everyone thought Qin Zhaodi made a point.

The villagers, eager for pork, seemed unlikely suspects, but the educated youths might be. Even if they behaved now, everyone remembered how unruly they were when first arrived.

"Stop making blind accusations. Do you have evidence?"

"We’re educated people; how could we do something as harmful as poisoning pigs?"

"Catch a thief with stolen goods. Did anyone see anything? Without evidence, making such claims against us will have us involving public officials and demanding justice from the police."

At this moment, the educated youths united.

The villagers and educated youths argued noisily outside the pig pen.

Until Old Gu stepped forward and scolded, "Stop arguing."

"Everyone should consider whether anyone approached the pig pen from last evening to this morning."

"Speak with evidence if anyone noticed anything."

"Right now, what’s most important is for the pigs to recover."

Gu Shun, the brigade secretary and a relative from the Gu Family, added, "That’s a truth." Then he turned to Gu Jia Ning, "Ning girl, since you noticed the pigs got sick from eating pig dung bean, do you have a way to cure them?"

Hopeful gazes fell on Gu Jia Ning, including Old Zhang’s.

Though he’d often diagnosed pig dung bean poisoning, he’d never treated it himself and always suggested people visit the hospital for such cases.

Among the hopeful stares, Gu Jia Ning didn’t disappoint, "I do."

She then named several herbs and asked Old Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, does your clinic have these herbs?"

Old Zhang quickly nodded, "Yes, yes."

"Then I’ll head there to mix and brew the medicine."

"Of course."

Hearing Gu Jia Ning would fetch herbs for treatment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad the pigs could be saved.

Gu Jia Ning dared not delay, as the pigs’ condition was dire and needed immediate medication or acute poisoning could prove fatal.

However, before leaving, Gu Jia Ning quickly spent 5 points in the System Mall to buy an item.

"Odor Tracker: Effective for one month, can pinpoint the person last in direct contact with an item, regardless of distance, automatically locating and marking them."

Currently, Gu Jia Ning only had 20 points, but she felt spending 5 points was worthwhile if it uncovered who sabotaged the Gu Family.

"System, activate the Odor Tracker and trace the person last in direct contact with this pig dung bean."
