Su Jinyue couldn't help but smile as she thought about how they had been clamoring to come back every day since they went to the capital. Fortunately, they were no longer ordinary people. As long as they persisted in taking the pills she gave them and practicing the boxing she taught them, they wouldn't have to worry about getting sick.
"Dad, you have to get used to it. One day you'll have to live with us." Zhan Yihan took a sip of the tea, sensing the spiritual energy within and smiled. After practicing cultivation, his parents' appearance would remain that of someone in their forties or fifties. After ten or twenty years, they would always notice the difference between themselves and others.
"I know. I'll just get used to it slowly when I can't do it anymore," Zhan Dafeng said, puffing on his pipe. Of their three sons, Yihan and Yifeng now have their own careers, and Yilin will surely be doing well after graduating from university. They definitely won't be able to stay by their side. He and Meizhen have already decided that when they're old and can no longer farm, they'll move in with Yihan and his family. Jinyue is a doctor, so at least one of them could help.
"It's time to eat." Wang Meizhen walked into the main room carrying a plate of food and said to Su Jinyue and the other two with a smile.
Su Jinyue glanced at the kitchen, stood up and walked towards the kitchen, helping Wang Meizhen bring in the remaining dishes.
"Your child, just wait for your mother to come." Wang Meizhen looked at Su Jinyue, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction. She felt that they were really lucky, as both of their sons had married good daughters-in-law.
There's a difference between marrying a good daughter-in-law and a bad one. In the neighboring village, Cheng Laoshi's four sons married daughters-in-law who were not very reasonable. They treated the old couple like a ball, and often asked their husbands and children to ask them for money. If they couldn't get it, they would argue with Cheng Laoshi and his wife, making them very angry every time. She met Old Lady Cheng several times, and she always had a sad face. She was completely different from her peers.
Su Jinyue and her family were having dinner when they heard a commotion outside. "Everyone, go check it out! Something happened at Cheng Laoshi's house in the neighboring village."
Upon hearing this, Wang Meizhen put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up, "You guys take your time eating, I'll go out and take a look." She was just thinking about the old couple Cheng Laoshi, but she didn't expect that something would happen to them in such a short while.
When Wang Meizhen walked out of the door and saw Mrs. Liu running past the door, she quickly called out to her, "Mrs. Liu, what happened at Cheng Laoshi's house?"
Mrs. Liu had been unhappy because Su Jinyue refused to find a job for her cousin last time, and she was unwilling to pay attention to Wang Meizhen. When she heard Wang Meizhen asking her, she rolled her eyes and ran away without looking back.
Wang Meizhen shook her head helplessly. Seeing Li Erniu running over, she called out to him, "Erniu, what happened at Cheng Laoshi's house?"
"Aunt Cheng had a fight with her third daughter-in-law, and she drank pesticide in a fit of frustration. I heard she's dead," Li Erniu sighed. Luckily, his wife was a good person, otherwise he'd be in a difficult position.
Wang Meizhen's face changed, "Is there such a thing?" How powerful must the daughter-in-law be to force Old Lady Cheng to drink pesticide.
"Aunt Zhan, I won't say any more to you. I'll go over there and take a look." After Li Erniu said that, he ran towards Cheng Laoshi's house.
Wang Meizhen shook her head and sighed, then turned and walked into the house. She said to Su Jinyue and the other two in the house, "I'm going to the neighboring village to see if Cheng Laoshi's wife drank pesticide."
Zhan Dafeng was startled and the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground, "How is the person?" How could such a thing happen?
"I heard it's no longer viable," Wang Meizhen sighed. Sister Cheng had a truly miserable life. In her youth, to ensure her four children had enough to eat, she was always the most enthusiastic and skilled worker in the collective commune. She finally waited until her sons grew up and got married, only to find that each daughter-in-law was more capable than the last.
Su Jinyue withdrew her consciousness, put down her chopsticks and stood up, "Mom, I'll go with you to take a look, maybe she can be saved." She just looked at Old Mrs. Cheng and found that she was dying.
"Then let's go," Wang Meizhen urged. She had forgotten that Jin Yue was a doctor.
When we arrived at Cheng Laoshi's house, we saw that the door was surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun.
"What a sin! Such a good person is gone."
"The third daughter-in-law of Cheng Laoshi's family is really amazing. She even forced her mother-in-law to drink pesticide."
"How can there be such a wicked daughter-in-law in this world? Anyway, she has given birth to a son. Let's see what she will do if she finds a daughter-in-law like her in the future."
"What happened? Why is Aunt Cheng so depressed?"
"Genfu gave his mother five yuan. When his wife found out, she came to argue with the Cheng Laoshi couple, saying they were shameless, lazy, and had bad ideas every day, thinking only of their money. She said a lot of nasty things. Aunt Cheng was so angry that she almost fainted. She couldn't get over it afterwards."
"It's just five dollars! Is that a big deal?"
"Aunt Cheng is really desperate. She drank half a bottle of paraquat in one breath. Even the hospital can't save her if she drinks that stuff." The villagers talked about it, with anger and regret in their words.
"Everyone, please make way so our Jinyue can go inside and take a look." Wang Meizhen shouted to the villagers in front of her. She tried to squeeze in several times but failed, so she had to give up.
"Everyone is dead, what's there to see? You won't get sick after seeing it..." Mrs. Zhang from the village muttered and turned around. When she saw that the people coming were Wang Meizhen and Su Jinyue, her words stopped abruptly.
After reacting, she shouted to the people in front of her, "Doctor Su is here, everyone please make way and let Doctor Su come in to take a look." She had heard of Su Jinyue's medical skills, he was a true miracle doctor.
The villagers all turned their heads and saw Su Jinyue. They all stepped aside to make way for her. They had all heard about Su Jinyue. If she could save Aunt Cheng, it would truly be a miracle.
Wang Meizhen pulled Su Jinyue towards the house. She came to take a look because she had just heard from the villagers that everyone was dead. No matter how powerful her Jinyue was, she couldn't bring the dead back to life, not to mention that the other party had drunk paraquat.
Walking into the inner room, I saw Cheng Laoshi with a haggard and gray face sitting silently on a chair beside the bed, looking at his wife who was lying on the bed and had no breath. His hand was tightly holding his wife's hand, and there was a deathly calmness in his eyes.
His four sons standing by also said nothing. Except for the third son, the other three did not show much sadness on their faces.
As for their wives, they are not here now. When I passed by the main room just now, I saw them sitting in the main room pulling white cloth, talking and laughing as they pulled, as if the person in trouble was not their relative, but an irrelevant person.
