There are only two days left before Meng Yu and his friends go abroad.
Early in the morning, Zhang Shicheng, the father, disappeared. Later, Lin Nanfeng found out that he had passed out drunk.
Lin Nanfeng accompanied her mother out to search for another day. She knew that they were weak now, so they had to play the whole show.
Lin Nanfeng returned to Zhang's house early today and found everything quiet. He felt something was wrong. Zhang Shicheng didn't make trouble, and the old lady didn't make trouble either?
Didn't she say Duobao was her biological grandson? A biological grandson she could sacrifice her life for?
Lin Nanfeng gave Meng Niang some sleeping pills in a large dose to ensure that she could sleep until tomorrow morning.
After a good night's sleep, their family will be able to leave Qiang City tomorrow.
After covering Meng Niang with a quilt and locking the door, Lin Nanfeng went to the kitchen.
No one in this house can be trusted. The only person she trusts is her mother-in-law, who is in her sixties and does chores in the kitchen.
"Are you hungry?"
As soon as the mother-in-law saw her, she turned around and went to the kitchen to get food.
Lin Nanfeng had been hungry for most of the day, so he took the pastry and gobbled it up in big mouthfuls.
"Be careful not to choke. There is food inside. Take it back for your mother later. Hasn't your brother found it yet?" asked the mother-in-law with concern.
Lin Nanfeng shook his head and asked, "The house is very quiet today. They are not at home. Where did they go?"
Her mother-in-law approached her, pointed to the side, and sighed, "The Ma family was raided today, and two people died. It's been a commotion all day! It only just quieted down."
The mother-in-law pointed in the direction of where the old lady and her family lived and said, "Those guys might be scared and dared not make a sound. They were making quite a commotion when you went out this morning!"
Mr. Zhang and the old lady were talking about divorcing that woman, but when the people from the Ma family came and started making a scene, Miss Meng threatened to not take them away, and that's when they finally gave up!
Lin Nanfeng then remembered that the Ma family was raided at this time in his previous life.
She went to see it at that time. The people of the Ma family were shaved on the spot, splashed with feces, and spat on. Later, someone could not bear the humiliation and jumped into the well with his daughter.
So don’t wonder the Zhang family is quiet today. It happened next door to you. If it happened to you, would you be scared?
Moreover, Zhang Shicheng was particularly afraid of death, otherwise he would not have lived to this day.
The Zhang family had more assets than these before, but it was because he was afraid of death that he donated them away early on, which gave him the peace he has today.
Otherwise, the Zhang family would have been raided long ago.
As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Nanfeng asked her mother-in-law while eating cakes in small bites.
"What are your plans for the future?"
In her previous life, she and her mother fell into a desperate situation. Her grandmother-in-law helped her a lot, and when her mother died, it was her grandmother-in-law who accompanied her to dig a grave and bury her.
Her mother-in-law is her only benefactor, and she remembers this kindness!
"What are you going to do?" Grandma looked up at the sky with a gloomy look. "Wait to die!"
She has no relatives or friends, and her current job was given to her by Meng Niang out of pity for her, otherwise she would still be begging for food outside!
Once the Zhang family left, she would lose her job, and no one outside would hire an old woman like her.
After thinking about it, I can only wait for death!
Lin Nanfeng was not surprised by her saying that. The year Zhang Shicheng bought this house, his mother-in-law came to help in the kitchen of the Zhang family.
The house was managed by the old lady, and naturally she also paid for the servants' wages. The old lady did not agree with my mother bringing an old woman back home.
I can't do any work but still have to be paid. In the words of the old lady: What's the point?
It was only when my mother told me to just focus on the food that the old lady reluctantly nodded.
Later, my mother occasionally gave my mother-in-law some money, and she finally settled down.
Sixty years old is actually not old, you can support yourself with your own hands.
Lin Nanfeng handed the empty plate to her mother-in-law and took out two small yellow croakers from her pocket.
"I've found a job for you, sweeping the streets on South Street. When you're settled, adopt a child and have him take care of you in your old age.
You will leave this house tonight and never come back. Someone will take you to your place tomorrow. It has a small courtyard, three tiled houses, and a well inside. Do you think it's okay?"
Okay, why not?
The mother-in-law's cloudy eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she said:
"Child, don't do anything stupid, your mother still needs you!"
Lin Nanfeng shook his head, stood up and said, "I won't do anything stupid. Tomorrow morning, my mother and I will leave Qiang City. There are plenty of days waiting for us, and so will you."
Lin Nanfeng placed the small yellow croaker in his hand in hers and said, "Good days are waiting for you in the future. Listen to me and leave the Zhang family as soon as possible. I have a plan in mind."
The mother-in-law stood up and stared at her disappearing figure, then turned back to the small room. After a while, she picked up a small bag and hurried out the back door.
Lin Nanfeng's plan was to set fire to the old lady's room in the middle of the night.
My grandfather died suddenly of liver disease caused by drinking.
As soon as grandpa died, the old lady kicked grandma out of the house and took over all the property that grandpa had left.
The old lady often said that Duobao was the future male head of the Zhang family. Now that his younger brother was still young and his mother couldn't take care of him, it was okay for her, as the elder sister, to take him in for her brother first.
"——The fire is coming——Hurry up and help! The fire is coming..."
Late at night, the old lady's yard suddenly caught fire. The fire was not big and was quickly brought under control.
But it also woke up everyone in the house, including Meng Yu and his wife.
"You black-hearted bastards, you think I'm old now, so you can just burn me to death so you don't have to worry about me anymore, right?"
As soon as Meng Yu appeared, the old lady started howling and accusing others of something insinuating, pointing at Meng Yu with her hands, and almost said that it was Meng Yu who set the fire.
"You vixen, you want me dead? You're dreaming! I'll stay alive, old lady, to watch over this family for my grandson and see when you, this evil woman, die."
"What gives you the right to curse like that?" Zhang Xinrou said angrily, "Do you have any evidence to prove that we did it? You just curse at me. Are you being unreasonable, old lady?"
"Shut up." Zhang Shicheng glared at his eldest daughter fiercely. "Who told you to talk to your grandma like that? Did I give you too much face before?"
Zhang Xinrou rarely saw her father like this and was a little scared for a moment, but her silence did not mean that she did not have other thoughts.
If we talk about giving face, it is that they gave the old lady too much face, which made it difficult for her to see the current situation clearly.
If it weren't for the Meng family, she and her father would have had to return to the countryside and stay there for the rest of their lives.
Now, not only does she not try to please them, but she also thinks of them first when there is any disturbance.
Thank you!
"Why are you being so mean to my daughter?"
Meng Yu also protected her daughter with one hand, feeling extremely distressed. The lovers who were once so close could not withstand the passage of time after all.
All she gave to this family was Zhang Shicheng's disbelief and cold words in return.
She didn't do it, so why didn't the man she had been sleeping with for more than 20 years believe her?
It’s all that damn Lin Mengniang’s fault.
"None of the four of us, mother and daughter, are good people. Fortunately, my son is sensible, otherwise I would have died unjustly today.
"Meng Yu, you vicious woman, you have such a vicious mind. You just killed my grandson and now you can't tolerate me as your mother-in-law, right? Vicious woman!"
