In a twist of events, the woman who had earlier insisted that he finish his water and continue with his work was now asking him to leave. The inconsistency was puzzling.

Ah Zhuang was in the midst of his confusion when a sudden wave of pain surged from his lower abdomen. He immediately clenched his buttocks, his face turning deathly pale. Without a second thought, he spun around and started to run. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Initially, he headed towards the main hall, but quickly realized his mistake and rerouted towards the outhouse. He had to hurry, or he would soil his pants.

Once he had disappeared from sight, Gu Zi finally allowed the cold smirk that had been playing at the corners of her mouth to fade. This was the kind of treatment such a man deserved. She was now fairly certain that the substance he had ingested was a laxative.

Aunt Yang, noticing Gu Zits smile, was somewhat perplexed but chose not to question it. “I’ve replaced the water,” she said. “I’ll deliver it now. We can use this bucket of water for the pigs.” She didn’t understand why the water needed to be discarded, but as an employee, she knew better than to question orders.

Gu Zi shook her head and gently explained the situation. “Ah Zhuang drugged this water. It’s not safe for anyone to drink, not even the pigs. We need to dispose of it. You go ahead and deliver the fresh water. I’ll take care of this.”

Upon hearing the words “drugged the water,” Aunt Yang’s pupils dilated in shock. “What?” she exclaimed, frozen in place. She knew Ah Zhuang had always disliked her, mainly because she had secured this job while his family had not. But she had never imagined he would stoop so low.

Understanding her shock, Gu Zi tried to reassure her. “For now, pretend you know nothing about this. Just be wary of him in the future. Go on, deliver the water. Thank you for your hard work.” With that, Gu Zi picked up the bucket of hot water and headed to the boiler room to dispose of it.

She had considered confronting Ah Zhuang directly, but she was the only one who had witnessed him tampering with the water, and it had happened in a matter of seconds. In an era without smartphones to capture evidence, she had nothing to prove her claims.
