Daddy pooped his pants

After obtaining the written agreement, Gu Yuru felt a mix of clarity and joy, tears streaming down her face with overwhelming emotion.

Seeing the bright red thumbprint on the severance of ties document, Li Mumu instantly beamed with delight. She suddenly wriggled out of her eldest aunt's embrace and announced, "My pain is suddenly gone!"

Everyone wore puzzled expressions. Li Mumu smiled brightly amidst their confusion, choosing not to expose Lin Siyan's trick just yet.

If you want to destroy someone, you must first let them become arrogant. She would wait for the Li family to realize what a massive treasure they had missed out on, and by then, Lin Siyan's life would become even more miserable.

The joyful Li family harbored no suspicions; instead, they were simply waiting for the Gu family to meet the same disastrous fate as themselves, preferably ending up ruined and entirely wiped out.

As Li Mumu passed by Lin Siyan, she said in a voice audible only to the two of them, "Aunt Lin, thank you!"

Lin Siyan froze, then looked at Li Mumu in sudden terror.

The little girl's smile was as pretty as a flower, yet for some reason, it sent a chill down her spine.

Her previous claims that the girl was a demon were just lies, especially since she had orchestrated the trick herself rather than any genuine talisman manifestation.

If she wasn't a demon, what did this mean?

"Mumu, come over here and have another bowl of soup," Song Qiang called out, waving at the little girl.

She had previously sold the ginseng for fifty taels. That was only because she needed the money urgently and the buyer had deliberately forced the price down; even so, fifty taels could still cover a great deal of expenses.

The Gu family's meals had also started to become richer, far more nutritious than the dry, hard pancakes of the Li family.

As for the commotion they caused, the bailiffs were long used to such scenes as long as no physical fights broke out. Moreover, they took the opportunity to rest. As long as it didn't cost anyone their lives, they mostly turned a blind eye, and some even watched it as entertainment, though most simply found a spot to sleep.

Li Mumu truly couldn't eat another bite, and her older brothers were too embarrassed to eat, fearing they would take food away from the Gu family.

Zhang Yi sighed and urged the boys, but they still refused.

Song Qiang was much more direct, shoving a bowl into each of their hands and ladling in some soup. "From now on, we're a family. You can't just keep refusing to eat, and besides..."

She lowered her voice. "Yu'er told me everything. That ginseng was found by Mumu, and all those delicious foods came from Mumu too. There's more than enough for the few of you to eat."

The three Li brothers looked toward Gu Yu, who shrank his neck and stuck out his tongue. "I said I found it, but my mom didn't believe me."

Song Qiang had been quite surprised at the time, but she quickly understood what the children meant and kept quiet about it. Although she wasn't as clever as her eldest sister-in-law, she had figured most of it out by today.

After eating their fill and resting for a short while, the bailiffs urged everyone to get moving again.

However, they hadn't walked far when Old Madam Li first clutched her stomach and, unable to run much further, squatted right down on the spot.

The bailiffs were furious. "A lazy donkey always has frequent calls of nature when it's time to work."

Yet, just as the words left his mouth, Lady Zhao also clutched her stomach and bolted away. Next came Li Sheng, Li Ye, and one by one, not a single member of the Li family was spared.

Even Li Yuan felt an uncontrollable urge coming on. However, his hands were locked in a cangue. He thought he could hold it in, but as a result... he had overestimated himself.

Li Yuan was utterly dumbfounded, wishing instantly for a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"What are you standing there dazed for?" Li Yuan bellowed in fury. "Why aren't you changing my clothes?"

Lin Siyan was still wondering what was going on when his roar startled her. Then, she saw the yellowish-green stains spreading across his white prisoner uniform, accompanied by a sickening stench.

Li Yuan dared not move; any movement would cause the mess to spill everywhere, yet he truly felt as though the sky had collapsed.

A dignified great general, and he had soiled his trousers.

Li Mumu called out to her little cousin and pulled him back just as Gu Yu stared in bewilderment.

Gazing at her scowling scumbag father with a darkened face, Li Mumu fanned the air with her hand and covered her nose. "Daddy, what's wrong with you? Where is this awful smell coming from?"

Gu Yu knew nothing, but naturally, he smelled the overwhelming stench as well. "It stinks so bad!"

"Daddy, you pooped your pants!" Li Mumu's voice rang out loud and clear, ensuring everyone could hear.

The bailiffs guarding the Li family were disgusted to the core. "What... what is wrong with you? Absolutely disgusting."

Li Yuan was burning with rage at that moment. "Li Mumu!"

"Daddy, what's the matter? Did your stomach hurt too?" Li Mumu asked with a smile.

Li Yuan abruptly glared at Lin Siyan. Lin Siyan was still enduring the nausea as she tried to pull down his soiled trousers, whether out of foolishness or forgetfulness, completely failing to avoid the surrounding onlookers.

A thought crossed Li Yuan's mind, making him even angrier. He kicked Lin Siyan away with one foot. "It's all your fault!"

Lin Siyan landed squarely on her backside, looking up at him in dazed helplessness. "I... what did I do?"

Enduring the revulsion to strip the soiled trousers off the man only to receive this attitude in return, Lin Siyan felt utterly wronged.

At that moment, Old Madam Li returned with a wobbly, unsteady gait. "Oh my, what on earth is going on? My stomach hurts so much, ouch—"

Taking a closer look, she saw her sons and daughters-in-law squatting all over the ground. "Are you all having diarrhea?"

Li Mumu shouted at the top of her lungs, "Daddy didn't have diarrhea, he soiled his pants!"

Old Madam Li looked at Li Yuan in disbelief. "You... how old are you?"

Mocked and scorned by his own biological mother, Li Yuan felt even more humiliated. "Lin Siyan, what is the meaning of all this?"

Old Madam Li seemed to have just reacted. "That's right, why are we all having diarrhea? You little bitch, how come you're fine?"

"I..." Lin Siyan was indeed fine because Li Mumu had selectively applied the medicine beforehand, but she knew very well that standing out as an anomaly right now would bode no good.

Therefore, she also clutched her stomach. "Mom, it hurts for me too, I'm not feeling well either. It's just that I was trying to help Brother Yuan first..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Yuan cut her off with a harsh reprimand. "Shut up, Lin Siyan. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"I..."

Witnessing the swords-drawn, tense atmosphere, Li Mumu hurriedly walked over. "Aunt Lin, the ground is so cold. The little sister in your tummy won't feel comfortable."

With that, Li Mumu reached out to pull Lin Siyan up.

Lin Siyan had no clue what was happening either. Clearly, she had only administered the drug to Li Mumu, so why had the rest of the Li family fallen victim as well?

"I don't need your help."

"You do, you do. Mumu will help you up."

"Go away, don't touch me."

As Li Mumu pulled and Lin Siyan shoved, amidst the tugging and pulling, a small paper packet fell out from Lin Siyan's sleeve.

Lin Siyan's attention was entirely focused on Li Mumu, but Li Yuan caught sight of it. "What is this?"

Discovering that he had already picked it up, Lin Siyan panicked instantly. "Th-This is my..."

"Hmm?" Li Yuan knitted his brows, brushed her hand away, and unfolded it to reveal some pale yellowish medicinal powder. He brought it close to his nose and sniffed, detecting a strong, pungent medicinal aroma.

Li Yuan gazed at the tense, speechless Lin Siyan, raising his voice a notch. "Lin Siyan, I'm asking you, what is this?"
