Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 960

Chapter 960: I Won’t Kill Them
At that time, Dr. Xie said that it should not be eaten raw because it was poisonous, and the peel had the highest concentration of poison.

He tried many methods and finally found the best way to remove toxins from cassava skins and store it. Although the toxicity has been weakened during the process of extraction, it is enough to teach them a lesson.

After pouring the poison into the small bottle, he closed the lid tightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was done, he did not take off the cloth covering his face. Instead, he looked out the window and saw that it was almost midnight.

This wasn’t the first time he’d snuck out at night so he could get out of the house without waking his family. He remembered all the children’s houses and had surveyed their locations during the afternoon.

Therefore, he reached the first house without taking any detours. Villagers rarely locked their doors, so it was easy for him to slip into their yards. He went to where their water tank was and dropped a few drops of poison into the tank.

As he closed the water tank lid, he thought, ‘With this amount, they won’t die. However, they will at least experience headaches, dizziness, rapid pulse, nausea, and vomiting.’

‘How much pain you experience will depend on how much water you drink. This should be able to keep you quiet for a while.’

The thought of what would happen to those people brought a smile to his face.

Instead of a large water tank placed in the backyard, he chose a small water tank placed in the kitchen. The water in this small tank was used for cooking and could be used up in one day. This way, there is no evidence and no one can find out why they are sick.

Satisfied with his work, he continued to visit other houses.

Three hours later, he finally returned home after ‘visiting’ the villagers and washing the bottle in the river. As the water goes, the small amount of cassava’s poison won’t harm anyone.

He went to the bathroom to clean himself and put his clothes in a basin of water. As for his shoes, he just cleaned the soles. After making sure that no traces were left, he returned to his bedroom and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Early the next morning before dawn, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo woke up, while the children were a little later. While they were going about their usual morning routine, Chen Jianmin was yawning while watering the vegetable garden.

Seeing him like this, Chen Jianguo asked, “Brother, did you not sleep well last night?”

Chen Jianmin shook his head and said, “No, I just feel a little tired recently.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianguo was silent for a moment and said, “Brother, next time you go to the mountains, how about I go with you?”

“You are still too young and it is not safe in the mountains. It is best for you to stay at home and take care of Xiaobai, Xiaoyan, and Xiaofang. When you grow up and get stronger, I will take you with me.”

“Brother, I am 11 years old this year. You are only two years older than me,” Chen Jianguo reminded his brother.

Hearing the complaint in his tone, Chen Jianmin chuckled and said, “That’s why I can rest assured only if you take care of our siblings and help our parents at home.”

“If you really want to go to the mountains with me, then you must eat well and exercise your strength. Otherwise, you will bring nothing back and become a burden instead,” he added.

When Chen Jianguo heard this, he remembered the amount of food his brother brought back and nodded, “Brother, I will definitely become stronger and help you.”

“Okay, but don’t forget to study. No matter what, knowledge is important. You must study hard,” Chen Jianmin said before opening his mouth to yawn again.

“Brother, I understand,” Chen Jianguo said firmly.

After living with his second uncle’s family, he finally understood what it was like to have a warm family and a dependable older brother. He can go to school every day to study and have enough to eat.

He was happy and grateful. He vowed to do his best to bring honor and glory to his second uncle’s family. He will never let them down.

When the sun rose, Chen Jianmin left the house, followed by Chen Jianbai and Chen Jianguo. When the two of them walked to school together, they met Dong Li, Dong Huang, and the children of the Li family and the Lu family.

After they greeted each other, Dong Li and Chen Jianmin walked behind, with the younger children walking in front. That way, they can keep their eyes on them and make sure that nothing happens to them.

Seeing his friend yawning all the time, Dong Li asked in a low voice, “Jianmin, what did you do last night?”

Hearing his question, Chen Jianmin yawned again and asked, “What can I do? I’m just sleeping at home.”

Thinking of the way her friend looked at the villagers yesterday, Dong Li sighed and reminded him, “Don’t go too far. Once something bad happens to you, your family will be dragged into the muddy water.”

When Chen Jianmin heard this, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Your brother is not that stupid.”

Dong Li glanced at him and said, “I just hope you don’t deviate from the right path. You can take revenge on those people, but you have to know the limits and don’t go on the road of no return. You still have your family and Li Shu.”

Hearing his friend’s words, Chen Jianmin nodded and said, “I know. I just give them a little headache or nausea, I won’t kill them. No matter how bad I am, I won’t let my hands be covered in blood.”
