As if he was worried that Ling Jiang would abandon him in the countryside, Ling Jiale kept following Ling Jiang around.

When Ling Jiang was lighting a fire in the kitchen, he would stand guard at the kitchen door. When Ling Jiang went to the well to fetch water, he would hold on to the corner of Ling Jiang's clothes and would not let go.

But after all, he was still young and did not have as much energy as an adult. Not long after lunch, Ling Jiale couldn't resist the sleepiness and began to doze off.

Ling Jiang took the opportunity to carry him to the bed. As soon as his body touched the bed, Ling Jiale opened his eyes with a start.

"Dad, I want to go back with you!"

Ling Jiang coaxed her repeatedly: "Okay, go to sleep first, and we'll go back when you wake up."

After hearing this, Ling Jiale could no longer resist the sleepiness and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ling Jiang carefully pulled back the hem of Ling Jiale's clothes and tiptoed out of the house.

"Dad, Chunhua and I are leaving first. Please take care of yourself."

Ling Jiang didn't dare to speak too loudly for fear of waking up Ling Jiale who was sleeping in the room.

Li Dajun nodded and reluctantly saw the father and daughter out.

After Ling Jiang rode away on his bicycle, Li Dajun returned home and saw Li Li sitting in the main room with a sullen face. He couldn't help but sigh in worry.

"Who has offended you again? Our son-in-law has come to visit us specially and brought so many things with him. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Li Li was not dissatisfied, but she felt unhappy.

In the years since she married Ling Jiang, she has been living a tight life and cannot afford to wear new clothes all year round.

But now she is divorced, her ex-husband wears a down jacket that she had never dared to dream of before, and her daughter, who was always disliked by her, also wears a new cotton-padded jacket. She and her son are living a hard life in the countryside with no end in sight. How can she not feel resentful and angry?

—

Ling Chuan appears to be introverted and calm on the surface, but he is actually a stubborn and obstinate person at heart, for example, when it comes to making his wife fat.

After living together for half a year, he has already figured out his wife's eating habits.

In order to get his wife to eat more, in addition to forcing her to drink a bottle of donkey-hide gelatin oral liquid every day, he also prepares three meals a day according to her taste.

Although Yun Mo is not a foodie, she can't help but eat a few more bites every day when faced with a table full of food that suits her taste perfectly.

It’s okay to eat a few more bites at one meal, but the accumulation of excess food over meal after meal should not be underestimated.

In just a few days, Yun Mo's weight not only returned to its pre-weight loss level, but also showed signs of surpassing it.

I have to say that my husband is really the biggest stumbling block on my road to weight loss.

However, she is not busy losing weight for the time being and is worried about another thing.

After being turned down by her, Yun Shixian actually went directly to the Zeng family.

What surprised her was that the Zeng family actually agreed to Yun Shixian's request.

When Yun Mo received the household registration booklet and ID card, as well as the letter of severance signed by Yun Shixian from Zeng Xingguo, she was both terrified and moved.

"Uncle Zeng, I know that what I said later was a bit ungrateful, but I still want to say that you don't have to let the Yun family go for me."

Zeng Xingguo smiled and patted her shoulder. "It's not all for you. The Yun family has been operating in Jiang City for many years, and it's not so easy to be defeated. Since Yun Shixian took the initiative to show weakness and surrender, he must have learned a lesson. He should leave room for everything and also leave himself a way out."

Yun Mo seemed to be accepting the instruction, but she was a little frightened in her heart.

Even the Zeng family, which has a provincial capital background, can't completely defeat the Yun family? It seems that Yun Shixian's skills and abilities are stronger than she imagined.

Getting your household registration back successfully is also a happy event.

Yun Mo was planning how to celebrate, but suddenly she heard a piece of news that shocked her.

Yun Huan is dead.

Although Yun Mo has severed ties with the Yun family, in the eyes of outsiders, she has been raised by the Yun family for eighteen years, and she and Yun Huan have been sisters for more than ten years. It is reasonable for her to go and burn incense.

This is how the world works. You feel you are being hypocritical, and outsiders also think you are being hypocritical. You also know that outsiders think you are being hypocritical, but you have to do it.

If you don't do it, people will have something to talk about, and they will talk about you behind your back, saying that you are selfish, cold-blooded and heartless.

Yun Mo went to the Yun family the day after receiving the news.

The mourning hall was set up in the Yun family's yard. It was simply decorated and there were not many guests paying their respects. It looked a bit desolate.

With Yun Mo's status, she could go to the morgue to pay her respects to the body, but she had no interest in seeing dead people. After burning incense, she just found a place to sit down, planning to stay for a while and then leave.

The mourning hall was built with tarpaulin and was as cold as an ice cellar. Yun Mo could only drink hot water to keep warm.

After drinking a glass of water, seeing that it was almost time, Yun Mo got up and prepared to go to the bathroom.

Diagonally opposite the bathroom is the utility room, and faint voices could be heard coming from inside.

"…It's over, it's over. I'm itching so badly. Could it be that I got it from the Second Miss?"

"…What nonsense are you talking about? The Second Miss has leukemia, which is not contagious."

"But the second young lady has many red spots and papules on her body, which is scary to look at. Oh, I am so unlucky that I have to give her a bath and change her clothes..."

In the bathroom, Yun Mo looked at her face in the mirror and couldn't help but think deeply.

She knew that leukemia patients would develop red spots on their bodies, but she had never heard of red macules and papules.

After coming out of the bathroom, Yun Mo did not leave, but went up the stairs to the second floor.

The coffin room was located in Yun Huan’s own bedroom.

All the original furniture in the room had been removed, and the surroundings were hung with white cloth and white chrysanthemums. In the center of the room was an off-white coffin with its lid open.

Yun Mo hesitated at the door for a moment before stepping into the room.

As we got closer to the coffin, a blue-gray, haggard face came into view.

Yun Mo turned her head away due to physical discomfort, and only dared to turn her head back after taking a few deep breaths and stabilizing her emotions.

Carefully examining Yun Huan's exposed skin, he did not find the red spots and papules that the servant had mentioned.

Yun Huan's burial garment was an off-white evening gown with a snow-white cape on the outside. The cuffs were very wide, and one could see her forearms if she lifted them slightly.

Suppressing her palpitations, Yun Mo reached out and lifted up Yun Huan's sleeve.

Only less than ten centimeters was lifted, and a thumb-sized purple-red scar with signs of pus appeared on Yun Huan's arm.

Just here, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that the servants were leading the guests to pay their respects.

Yun Mo decisively took out the camera from the space, pressed the shutter button at Yun Huan's arm, and then restored Yun Huan's sleeve to its original state as quickly as possible.

The people who came were a group of rich ladies who looked about the same age as Yun Huan.

They were all shocked to see Yun Mo alone in the coffin room.

These people had arrived a long time ago, but out of fear they did not dare to come up alone. Instead, they waited until everyone else arrived before coming up together.

"I have finished my condolences and am leaving now. Please do as you please."

Yun Mo ignored other people's reactions and feelings, simply said hello, and left alone.

After leaving the Yun family, Yun Mo immediately went to the nearest photo studio and quickly developed the photos she had just taken.
