Chapter 1184 – Stunned Gou Huli
Looking at House Xiao’s members rush to the toilets like that made the housekeeper Miss Liu freeze. She was the only one who didn’t eat at the same table with them, and she was the only one who didn’t have stomach problems- this meant that there was something wrong with the dishes!
“Miss Liu, what on earth is this food you made, you trying to kill us?” Huli said with a pale face as she sat in a corner, while the other Xiaos lay around on the chairs and sofas. The Pi’s were in a much better condition, being practitioners and all.
But even so, their faces didn’t look good. They were sweating, too! There was a saying that strong men couldn’t handle three shits in a row, wasn’t there?
“Madam, I… I don’t know, all the materials I used were all pre-made, and all bought by the young master and small young master, I just cooked it…” Miss Liu said very carefully. She didn’t know how this happened, but the Xiao’s were having stomach problems, and she had some responsibility.
“Really? Wangba, Wangdao, did you guys buy something that wasn’t fresh?” Huli turned to the two boys.
“No, they’re all from the big market, they’re really fresh- we wouldn’t buy them if they weren’t!” Wangba said bitterly. “House Xiao is different nowadays, we’ve got two master fighters at home, of course, I’d buy the best stuff!”
“Then that’s weird… Did something mix in that wasn’t supposed to be?” Huli frowned as she held her stomach.
“That’s not right- brother, do you remember that we didn’t buy any pork? We only bought a tenderloin. We didn’t buy pork belly meat! How was this red braised porn made?” Wangba suddenly slapped his thigh.
“Yeah, we didn’t buy pork belly!” Wangba remembered as well. “Miss Liu, where did you buy that? Did you shop for it yourself?”
“I didn’t!” Miss Liu felt wronged. “It was with the other ingredients in the kitchen! I am still in a trial period, not even getting a salary- I wouldn’t go buy meat myself!”
“You’re right- but then where did this meat come from?” Xiaoben felt that she wasn’t lying- his son and his elder brother’s son wouldn’t have teamed up to lie anyway. He didn’t feel that there was too big of an issue with a bit of diarrhea at first, but something was wrong!
“I don’t know, second master!” Miss Liu said. “Right, there is still a lot of that pork left, it’s in the kitchen- perhaps you could inspect it?”
“Of course!” Xiao Ben’s face darkened as he stood up and went to the kitchen, followed by all the Xiao members!
As expected, there was a big piece of raw pork meat in the fridge, wrapped with plastic. There was a price tag on it.
“It says here it’s bought today, it should be a fresh piece of meat…” Xiao Ben frowned as he looked at it.
Gou Huli, on the other hand, was stunned and silent, as if struck by lightning! Her eyes were wide and staring at the plastic!
Of course, she knew where this came from. This was the one she bought from the market!
She understood now why everyone had diarrhea. It was because she put laxatives in this meat herself!! She didn’t know what to say!
Where did this come from, exactly, wasn’t this supposed to have been given to Yushu? Did it fly over here?
She didn’t understand, and she felt disgusted as if she’d caused the whole thing!
“This isn’t from the supermarket. It’s from the grocery market- it’s not among the things Wangba and Wangdao bought back!” Xiao Ben looked at the price tag and compared it to the other price tags. “So, this meat is really suspicious- it isn’t the meat’s problem since it looks fresh, but it has probably been tampered with!”
“Yes, you’re right, second brother!” Xiao Ji nodded. “Second brother, look inside the plastic, there’s some white powder- could it be laxatives?”
Xiao Ji pointed inside, and there really were some white chunks that were hard to notice.
“Miss Liu was getting worried. “Master, second master, I don’t know, it wasn’t me…”
“We’ll ask the boss tomorrow at the market whether if it’s you! This is a big piece, and it must’ve been expensive- he would’ve remembered for sure.” Xiao Ben had an idea.
“No need… I was the one who bought the meat…” Huli’s face was bitter as she finally spoke up- it was unfortunate, but she had to admit it. After all, this was a mysterious thing that happened, and she wanted Xiao Ben to analyze it for her.
“You bought it? Sis-in-law, this meat…” Xiao Ben paused, looking at her oddly. He didn’t think that she’d poison the Xiaos like this, plus, she ate it herself, she was a victim!
“You bitch, you trying to kill House Xiao?!” Xiao Ji slapped her right away, spinning her a bit and almost making her trip.
“Brother, what are you doing?! She wouldn’t have done it on purpose. Didn’t she even eat it herself?” Xiao Ben was very speechless- wasn’t this person getting angry too easily? She’d just admitted and fell onto the floor!
“Hmph, then what happened?” Xaio Ji hmphed coldly as he looked at Huli.
“I did buy this meat, but I bought it for House Chu, not for us!” Huli didn’t dare hide anything. She told them how she went o get her lion back, how she got humiliated, how she put laxatives in the meat…
