Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1819 Proving Innocence

Yang Afu had no objection, so Wan Shufang made a braised fish and put it on the table. When the time came, the villagers took their seats and started eating. The whole village suddenly became lively.

Wan Shufang watched the laughter and joy as the guests drank and chatted, and envy appeared in her eyes. "In fact, it is a happy thing to live an ordinary life like this."

Chen Changli sighed: "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains, although the people in this village are isolated from the world, they are living a life in a paradise."

The world was not fair, and the couple suffered a lot. When the world was just beginning to be peaceful, gods, ghosts and snakes hid behind the scenes. They had no way of telling who was human and who was a ghost, and could only passively accept the calculations.

Compared with the warm and harmonious days of the villagers, such days will naturally make people envious.

Wan Shufang looked at him and was about to speak when suddenly someone vomited.

"What's wrong?" Chen Changli was slightly startled. At this time, someone's stomach growled, and they hurriedly covered their stomachs and ran to the toilet.

Their actions were like a reminder, and the people present were suffering from diarrhea and hurriedly ran to compete with others for the toilet.

Chen Changli and his wife, who were fine, showed up at this moment.

"How come they are not hurt at all?" Someone accidentally saw them chasing after them in a hurry, as if trying to find out what was going on, and immediately spoke up in suspicion.

"Yes, we ate the same thing, so why do we have diarrhea? The couple is fine."

"Were we harmed by them?"

As suspicions arose, everyone began to suspect Shang Wan Shufang and her husband. One child even picked up a stone and threw it at them, "Bad guys, I'll beat you to death."

Chen Changli quickly protected Wan Shufang behind him, "We don't know what happened either."

"You're lying! Come on, guys, help me tie them up." A strong man yelled angrily, but the diarrhea was so severe that no one could hold on.

Yang Afu rushed over at this time and prescribed medicine for them to relieve their condition.

After calming down a little, they tied Chen Changli up and brought him in front of Yang Dashan.

"We are innocent. How did this happen? We know nothing." Wan Shufang kept explaining to everyone, but no one listened.

As soon as she saw the village chief, she placed her hopes on him, but he started to criticize her as soon as he opened his mouth: "We took you in with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to take our kindness for granted. You really disappoint me."

Chen Changli felt heavy-hearted when he heard this, but he said, "My husband and I really have no intention of harming anyone. This must be a misunderstanding..."

"What misunderstanding?" Yang Dashan said angrily, "Look at what they have become?"

Wan Shufang quickly spoke up: "My husband and I have spent most of our time with Yang Afu, so he knows everything we did. Village chief, I hope you can ask him to come and testify for us and give my husband and me a chance to prove our innocence."

"I'm here." Yang Afu walked in and said to the village chief, "Village chief, the couple are actually very grateful and have good intentions towards us. I don't think they will use the medicine to harm us."

He frowned and glanced at Chen Changli before saying, "If they wanted to harm us, they could just poison the food. Why would they put medicine that would give us diarrhea?"

"Diarrhea can also kill people." Yang Dashan was a little hesitant when he heard his words.

Chen Changli caught this and quickly said, "I am willing to be a hostage, as long as the village chief gives my wife a chance to prove her innocence."

When Wan Shufang heard this, she felt a little anxious, but when she received Chen Changli's trusting look, her panicked heart immediately calmed down.

"Village chief, please trust us once." Wan Shufang said earnestly.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance." Yang Dashan didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone, so he gave them a chance immediately.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the leftovers were not cleaned up. Wan Shufang checked the food one by one under the gaze of many villagers, tasted the wine the villagers drank, and then found something in common.

Her tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and she calmly walked up to the village chief and asked, "Do you often use a special spice?"

The village chief frowned upon hearing this, and the other villagers looked at each other in confusion. After all, spices were commonly used by them, so how could they be related to diarrhea?

"We are indeed using a special spice, but we have been using it for many years without any problems. How could it have caused a problem yesterday?" A villager expressed confusion.

Wan Shufang smiled faintly and said, "This is a coincidence."

As she spoke, she brought over the braised fish she had made.

Looking at the braised fish with only bones left, she said bitterly, "I like to use a special ingredient when cooking fish, which is the juice of basil. I didn't expect it to conflict with the spices you used, which is why you have diarrhea."

"We ate perilla before, but nothing happened." The villagers didn't believe this explanation.

Some villagers shouted, "You ate it too, how come nothing happened to you?"

"My husband and I don't use your spices." Wan Shufang said subconsciously.

"How can it be useless? The sweet water you drink everyday contains spices." A villager immediately got angry when he heard this. "Even if you didn't drink sweet water last night, you drank soup, which also contained spices."

"You two ate the same thing as us but nothing happened, which shows that you were the one who did it. Now you are pretending to find out the truth. You two are just playing tricks on us." Yang Dashan was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire after hearing this.

Wan Shufang didn't expect that the villagers would use spices so frequently that she and her husband accidentally used them.

"This...please give me some more time." Wan Shufang was a little flustered.

Yang Dashan was very angry and didn't want to waste any more time. Yang Afu felt his anger and felt helpless. He could only take the initiative to catch Chen Changli and take him to the ancestral hall, but he saw his bandaged wound.

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he quickly said to Yang Dashan: "Village Chief, I know why the couple is fine now. It's because there is a wild vegetable in the food I cooked for them that can be used as a medicinal ingredient, and it overlaps with the medicinal effects of the spices, which is why they are fine."

"Are you sure?" Yang Dashan was skeptical.

After Yang Afu made a guarantee, Yang Dashan and the villagers believed it, cleared up the misunderstanding, and untied Chen Changli.

"I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I should have asked you about your taboos before using basil." The twists and turns of the matter made Wan Shufang's eyes turn red unconsciously.

But the misunderstanding was resolved and Chen Changli was free. She quickly cheered up and apologized to the villagers.

"It's not your fault. After all, who could have known that ordinary perilla would conflict with spices?" The villagers shook their heads quickly.

Yang Dashan stroked his beard and said, "Everyone should tell me in advance if you have any problems in the future, so as to avoid misunderstandings. Otherwise, such things will happen again."
