Chapter 52 How could this happen?

Let me start from the beginning.

Lin Qiao and Lu Yan's family almost became the topic of discussion in the camp.

At first, when Lin Qiao gave birth to twin daughters, some people who favored boys over girls started to grumble behind her back.

Later, Lu Yanniang came and caused chaos everywhere.

Later, I heard that Lin Qiao and Lu Yanniang had a big fight, and Lu Yanniang left with her luggage just three days after she arrived.

Fortunately, the sisters-in-law were very supportive and helped Lin Qiao, who was still in confinement after giving birth, to the best of their ability.

Later, the news of Lu Yan's sacrifice spread.

Yu Xiangwan went to the county town to buy a clay pot and some daily necessities, and got off the car.

The sisters-in-law around were discussing today's trip to the county town.

She is no exception.

But she hadn't walked far before she sensitively noticed the change in the atmosphere.

The sisters-in-law came and went in a hurry, looking unhappy.

Yu Xiangwan's heart skipped a beat.

Before she reached Mrs. Lin Qiao's house, she suddenly heard a wailing sound from some distance away.

This sound was like a pause button, causing everyone to stop what they were doing.

There was only this one sound, but this one sound alone was enough to make people terrified.

Sometimes, sound can also convey grief.

Yu Xiangwan subconsciously ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

【What's wrong? 】

【What happened? 】

As soon as she moved, the sisters-in-law around her reacted and followed her.

"What happened?"

“I don’t know…”

Yu Xiangwan was sharp-eyed and saw Mrs. Yang coming out of Lin Qiao's house.

"Sister-in-law Yang!"

Mrs. Yang turned her head.

Yu Xiangwan ran over, and when she was only a few steps away, she saw Mrs. Yang's tears.

She was startled and stopped.

Sister Yang choked up and said, "Lu Yan, he died."

Yu Xiangwan blinked.

Her heart was pounding.

The sisters-in-law who followed behind were stunned. They looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

One sister-in-law asked quietly: "Really...really?"

Mrs. Yang nodded.

In fact, everyone knew it was true. Because Lin Qiao's voice was not fake, and the comforting voices of the sisters-in-law were not fake, and Sister Yang would never make such a joke.

Yu Xiangwan pursed her lips tightly.

She could hear her sisters-in-law gasp behind her.

This was the first time she had faced such a situation.

She took two steps forward: "Sister Lin..."

Mrs. Yang shook her head.

Yu Xiangwan thought about it and said rationally: "I'll go back and put my things away first, and then come to visit Sister Lin later."

She walked back quickly, and her first thought was -

【Where is Lu Yingzheng? 】

Yu Xiangwan returned home and opened the door to an empty room.

Xiao Xiao went to school and Lu Yingzheng hasn't come back yet.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

A tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Yu Xiangwan quickly wiped it off, put the things away, closed the door, and turned to go to Sister-in-law Lin Qiao.

There were a lot of people at Mrs. Lin Qiao's place, so Yu Xiangwan didn't squeeze in.

She looked and chose to see the child.

This was the first time she saw the twins from Lin Qiao's family.

She used to come here often, but she never came in because she was afraid of disturbing Mrs. Lin Qiao's rest.

Maybe because they are twins, both children look very thin.

As thin as Mrs. Lin Qiao.

While no one was paying attention, Yu Xiangwan quietly placed the little money she had brought on the table and pressed it with a comb.

As soon as I raised my head, I met Zheng Yu's eyes.

"You're here?" she mouthed.

Zheng Yu nodded, thought about it, took out money from his pocket and gave it to him.

The two of them looked at each other and left Lin Qiao's house.

There were a lot of people inside and they didn't seem to be able to help much.

The atmosphere is a bit depressing, but I'm not in the mood to talk right now.

Yu Xiangwan said hello to Zheng Yu and went home to cook.

Although it's sad, life must go on.

Xiao Xiao finished school, and Yu Xiangwan asked Xiao Xiao to eat first.

She was waiting for Lu Yingzheng at the door.

This is the first time she has done this.

Yu Xiangwan was standing at the door, with his head down, taking a few steps from time to time, and occasionally looking up in the direction where Lu Yingzheng was going home.

Finally, she saw the familiar figure.

Yu Xiangwan couldn't wait and ran towards Lu Yingzheng.

【I’m finally back.】

Lu Yingzheng was also running towards Yu Xiangwan.

The two met on the road.

Yu Xiangwan raised his head and looked at Lu Yingzheng.

The two did not speak.

Yu Xiangwan had no idea in his mind.

It seemed that seeing him still standing in front of him was enough.

Although she often complains about Lu Yingzheng, she must hope that he is safe.

Lu Yingzheng lowered his head and looked into Yu Xiangwan's clear eyes.

He moved his hand on the side of his leg, and finally, raised his hand and tapped Yu Xiangwan's forehead hard.

"I'm fine."

No one mentioned Lu Yan, but both knew that this was what everyone was thinking about.

This time, Yu Xiangwan did not dodge Lu Yingzheng's attack, nor did she refute Lu Yingzheng with words.

She tried to force a smile: "Go back and have dinner."

[It's great that he's still here! ]

【Lu Yingzheng, no matter what happens, live well. 】

Lu Yingzheng paused, looked at Yu Xiangwan's back, and clenched his fists.

Yu Xiangwan saw that Lu Yingzheng hadn't caught up with her, so she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yingzheng shook his head and followed.

After finishing the meal, Yu Xiangwan said, "I went to see Sister Lin and took some money with me."

Lu Yingzheng lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in them.

"Okay, I'll give you some later."

Only he knows the sorrow in his heart.

Yu Xiangwan still saw the sadness in Lu Yingzheng's eyes.

She didn't know how to comfort him.

No matter how much I said, I couldn't feel any sadness from him.

She went out into the yard to give him some space to process his emotions.

Yu Xiangwan saw the fish in the kitchen.

【How about making something delicious? 】

【Food soothes people’s hearts, should Lu Yingzheng be happier?】

Therefore, Lu Yingzheng fully felt Yu Xiangwan's "care".

For the next few days, there was fish for every meal.

Lu Yingzheng tried braised fish, fish noodles, fish dumplings, grilled fish...

The air above the courtyard was filled with the smell of fish.

He really wanted to say, no need to do that.

But the fish was delicious.

He couldn't bear to reject Yu Xiangwan's kindness.

That day, early in the morning, Yu Xiangwan was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door.

Yu Xiangwan closed his eyes dazedly and looked out the window. It was just getting light.

"Who?" she muttered, rising from the bed and getting dressed.

When I opened the bedroom door, Lu Yingzheng had already walked behind it, ready to open it.

She yawned, pulled her clothes together, and walked over.

"Sister-in-law?" Lu Yingzheng opened the door and looked at the visitor in confusion.

Yu Xiangwan was not as tall as Lu Yingzheng, so he could only look slightly to the left.

It’s Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang's clothes were in disarray, her expression was serious, and her eyes were red.

"A sister-in-law found Lin Qiao fell in the kitchen. She was already..." She took a deep breath, "When she was found, she was already dead."

Yu Xiangwan's mouth opened in surprise.

How...how could this happen?
