Yang Ming still appeared calm; he was taking a gamble, betting on this fool's courage.
The scene had quieted down, everyone waiting for the person who went to fetch the food to return.
Little Liufu had long stopped crying, lulled to sleep by Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao wasn't overly worried at the moment; she believed Yang Ming definitely had some kind of plan.
Instead, Shitou and his mother were very concerned, afraid they wouldn't be able to convince the villagers.
Moments later, the villager who went to get the food finally returned, holding a bowl with some leftover food.
The Village Chief took the bowl and handed it to the fool, speaking, "Eat this, and it'll prove your innocence."
Seeing the bowl of food, the fool turned pale. How is this possible? Wasn't the food from last night supposed to be eaten by the people at Fat Girl's house during the day?
Otherwise, how could that family have fallen ill?
