"Brother Sanwang, I'm fine, you're back?" Ruyan seemed very happy.
Liang Shuyan didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened. She checked the ingredients Sanwang had bought and pointed to the ones on the ground, asking, "What happened, Sanwang? Why are you just leaving the ingredients like this?"
Sanwang hurriedly tidied up the ingredients: "Mother, I saw Ruyan's eyes were red just now, and I thought Ruyan had been bullied?"
Liangfen from the restaurant
The old-fashioned food was torn down and replaced with spicy hot pot. Every time a new dish was added, it had to be written on a sign at the entrance so that passing customers could see it. This was what made Jinzhou Restaurant different from others. When Manager Xiao was around, she never had to worry about it. Sanwang always forgot, so she had to teach Sanwang a thing or two.
Zhang waved her hand: "Mother, Sanwang has only been here for a few days and is not familiar with things yet. He will be fine after a few days. There aren't many dishes, just one, and I can cook it all."
Zhang is Dashan's wife, and she protects the children in the family just like Dashan does, as if it were a habit.
Liang Shuyan glanced at Zhang Shi and said, "Alright, from now on, don't expect you to take the blame for everyone's mistakes. Don't think I don't know that Sanwang doesn't care about the restaurant at all. He still needs you for some things, doesn't he?"
Zhang's silence was tantamount to acquiescence.
The news of Jiang's death came as a complete shock. The people of Daling Village were stunned when they heard the news. When Li Zheng told Liang Shuyan the news, Liang Shuyan was also taken aback and didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Could this have started because of me? If we hadn't separated from Fatty, maybe she would still be alive. What exactly caused her death?"
Li Zheng led the villagers to the house where Jiang Shi lived. Fatty knelt in the courtyard and wailed, "Mother, why did you want to die? Your son is unfilial!"
Fatty swung his arms and kept slapping himself in the face. Yinxia, standing to the side, shook her head in despair: "Fatty, what are you doing? If you're going to make your mother want to die, it's because of me. If you knew it would be like this, you might as well have divorced me!"
Old Man Li came in and coughed twice: "Enough, stop shouting. Since it's your mother who wants to die, no one can stop her. Before the family was divided, why didn't she know how to live a good life? She bullied Yinxia all day long. Now that the family is divided, she doesn't want to live anymore. Who can stop her?"
When Fatty heard his grandfather say this, he stood up and rubbed his eyes: "Grandpa, but my mother lost her life because of the division of the family property. In the end, it's because I, her son, am unfilial!"
"Alright, enough about filial piety. The problem is that your mother couldn't live a peaceful life!"
Old Mrs. Li was lost in thought, her mind preoccupied with something. She recalled the figure from last night, and a wave of sadness washed over her. Could it be that all these years, Jiang Shi had someone else in her heart? Before, she didn't understand why Jiang Shi treated Yinxia that way. But after last night, she seemed to understand something, but she kept it to herself and didn't say a word.
Yinxia seemed to have noticed something and walked over to Grandma Li: "Grandma, what's wrong? I know you're very sad. In the end, this is all because of me. If it weren't for me, my mother-in-law might not have died."
Grandma Li looked at Yinxia and pulled her aside: "Tell Grandma, is there something you're hiding from her? Tell Grandma honestly, did you find out something about your mother-in-law that's why she's been targeting you!"
Yinxia hesitated for a moment, then took a step back: "Grandma, no, no, how could you ask about this?"
"To be honest, there's no hiding it!"
Yinxia then recounted what had happened to her shortly after her marriage. Old Mrs. Li immediately gritted her teeth and said, "I knew it! The reason your mother-in-law did such a thing was because of her own petty affair! Do you even know who that man is?"
Yinxia stammered, "Grandma, my mother-in-law is dead, so please don't ask about these things. What's past is past. I don't want Fatty to know about this, otherwise, Fatty will be very angry."
That's right. If Fatty knew about this, even if Jiang Shi died, he would still hate her. Yinxia didn't want her mother-in-law to be hated by her son even after she died.
"What are you saying? Your mother-in-law is dead now. Who knows what really happened? You're still covering for her. Maybe she was murdered by that person. We won't find out until we investigate. She died unjustly, and she won't have a good ending in the next life!"
Yinxia looked at Grandma Li with her eyes wide open: "Grandma, is what you're saying true?"
Grandma Li nodded, and Yinxia slowly said, "Well, actually, that man is Su Qiaoqiao's man, Li Laosan. I've seen him, but when I was sneaking away, I accidentally knocked over a stool, and my mother saw it. She threatened me not to tell anyone, or I'd be in big trouble!"
"Li Laosan? How long have they been together? So, the reason Li Laosan treats Su Qiaoqiao this way is mainly because he was seduced by Jiang Shi!"
Liang Shuyan didn't see Yinxia. She went to the backyard to look for Yinxia, but unexpectedly overheard Old Lady Li talking to Yinxia.
"I... I don't know. Anyway, this is the first time I've met Li Laosan. My mother-in-law seems to like that man a lot, and the man asked her for money as soon as they met! I wonder if my mother was killed because she couldn't come up with the money?"
"What? Li Laosan? That beast has been having an affair with Jiang Shi all along! So it must be because Li Laosan saw that Jiang Shi wouldn't get any benefits after the family was divided, that's why he targeted your mother!"
Upon hearing this, Yinxia turned around and was surprised to find Liang Shuyan standing behind her. She quickly grabbed Liang Shuyan and said excitedly, "Auntie, you mustn't tell anyone about this, otherwise, otherwise, how heartbroken Fatty will be, and my father-in-law too!"
Old Mrs. Li also came over, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes, Auntie, I haven't dared to tell the old man about this. This matter can't be spread around, otherwise, how will this fat man ever be able to face people again?"
Liang Shuyan shook her head: "Don't just look at the present. Jiang is dead now, but what if she was beaten to death by that Li Laosan? Are you going to continue to cover it up for the sake of face? Wouldn't that just be letting that Li Laosan get away with it?"
"Auntie, I'm begging you, now that my mother-in-law is dead, let's just let this matter go. I just don't want my mother-in-law to be hated by her only son even in her dying moments!"
