The smile on Xu Xiaorong's lips slowly faded, "It's my daughter-in-law."

Qu Sulan was slightly stunned. "I didn't expect Comrade Xu to be married. Why didn't you let your wife come out for dinner?"

Xu Xiaorong glanced at the closed door and sighed. "She is sick and not in good health."

In the room, Mrs. Xu placed two bowls on the small table and said, "Eat, I left them for you."

Jiang Jingzhi sat up slowly for fear of tearing the knife, but was met with a roll of the eyes from Mrs. Xu.

When the rice bowl was opened, it was filled with turbid soup with a slight smell of stir-fried vegetables.

One bowl contained a dry, cracked cornmeal cake.

"Hurry up and eat. You have such a good life this day. You don't have to do anything. You still have to wait for your mother-in-law to serve you tea and water."

After saying this in a sarcastic tone, Old Mrs. Xu twisted her body and walked out.

Jiang Jingzhi lifted a bowl of soup to her nose and took a closer look. It turned out to be water used to wash the pot.

He put the bowl down, picked up the cornmeal that had been left over from who knows how many meals, broke it open and put it into his mouth.

The dry, hard and rough particles rolled between his teeth, and Jiang Jingzhi chewed them like a machine.

She could smell the movement in the outer room and the aroma of food, but she didn't know what the woman outside looked like.

The Xu family was really anxious, they brought her back before she was dead.

Lin found something strange during the two days of the night shift, that is, Qu Suyun no longer talked with her mouth covered, but was in a relaxed mood with a smile on her face. She looked as if she was in the spring breeze.

After lunch, Lin 냭wan and Liu Xiuxiu took a walk in the yard to digest the food.

I saw the security guard limping and chatting with others.

"How did you do that?"

"Don't mention it. Last night I thought about pulling out the weeds in the backyard and planting some vegetables. The land is just sitting there anyway.

I don’t know which grandson moved two stepping stones from the back, and I took two steps and my foot went astray, and I sprained my ankle.” The security guard, old man Li, said helplessly.

"You still need stones. If not, ask Ban to help you move a few." Wang Jianye said as he supported old man Li.

"Forget it. There aren't really such large and neat stones around here. I'll apply to the factory in a few days, and then go to Wangjiawan to move some back. There are a lot of waste stones in the abandoned old houses there." Old man Li said, shaking his head.

"Why run so far?" Wang Jianye asked.

"These are bought in bulk. Many of the bricks in our yard were demolished from old houses and yards. They've been lying around doing nothing. We can make use of the waste." Old Man Li and his companion gradually walked away.

Lin Wanwan and Liu Xiuxiu were looking at the lotus pond in the middle of the yard. "This fish is really interesting. It's always chasing after the bigger ones." Liu Xiuxiu was looking at the fish in the lotus pond intently.

떘家灣… Lin 냭wan muttered to herself in her heart, “Xiu Xiu, let’s walk a little further and then go back.”

Liu Xiuxiu stood up straight, "Okay, Xiaowan, you haven't been to our dormitory yet, right? Come on, I'll show you around."

"Okay." Lin Wan responded.

Lin Wan and Liu Xiuxiu took a walk in the yard for a few days. The good thing was that they sat down after eating these days and their swollen stomachs disappeared.

The two patted each other and smiled. No girl doesn't love beauty. Sitting in the office for a long time is not tiring, but it is not good for the body.

Lin went to the textile factory every night these days and did not see any fog.

As for the Wan Lin family, Wan also learned the specific location from the old man who sold bamboo baskets on the roadside.

It really doesn't count. It looks like I need to wait until Sunday to take a break and go for a walk.

But before Lin Wan went treasure hunting, something happened in the family compound. Old Mrs. Xu died.

Old Mrs. Xu was sweeping the floor with someone in the yard when she fell down with a thud.

Lin Wan looked at Mrs. Xu lying on the ground. Even though she didn't like her, she still walked over to take a look.

"Mrs. Xu, what's wrong with you?"

"Is he suffering from heat stroke?"

"Maybe he's too tired, having taken care of his daughter-in-law for so long."

Everyone was talking.

“Ah…” Old Mrs. Zhao stepped forward and touched Old Mrs. Xu, preparing to pinch her Ren Zhong spot.

"She's dead. She's dead."

The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone was so scared that they couldn't help but take two steps back.

"This is not exhaustion."

I don't know who in the crowd said this.

"Yes, what a bullshit rule. Now it's over. Old Mrs. Xu is exhausted. She came here to enjoy a peaceful life with her son at her old age. Now she is fined and exhausted."

The crowd became chaotic, and the loudest shouting came naturally from the old ladies who were being punished.

Soon Zhou Huixia Jinghe ran over with several soldiers.

Xu Xiaorong also ran over with sweat all over his face, and saw his mother lying on the ground crying bitterly.

"Xiu Xi, you deserve to be punished for your mistakes, but you can't ignore the old man's health. You haven't fulfilled your filial duty yet... um..."

Xu Xiaorong spoke intermittently, which moved many of his family members.

They knew how hard those years were. Now that their son finally had some ability, he was not able to enjoy it. Many people felt it was a pity.

Zhou Hui's face looked ugly. This was a disguised way of saying that she had killed someone.

"This person is prone to all kinds of disasters. We can't attribute Mrs. Xu's death to punishment. Then why are you guys fine?" Xia Jinghe naturally had to make a few arguments.

"Xia Ren, you can't say that. Old Mrs. Xu has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days. She has a stomachache and nausea. Aren't these all reactions to heatstroke?" Old Mrs. Zhao retorted.

"Yes, it's normal to feel unwell at this age. Just take a rest. It's possible that this severe punishment caused Sister Xu's death."

Several people talked about possible situations, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case.

Lin 냭wan arrived early and stood close, so he could naturally hear what they said clearly.

"Xu Xiaorong, has your mother been feeling unwell these days?" Zhou Hui asked Xu Xiaorong.

Xu Xiaorong wiped his tears and said, "My mother didn't tell me anything, she just said that her throat was a little uncomfortable these days."

"Your mother told you this morning that she had a stomachache. You are such an ungrateful son."

Xu Xiaorong didn't know what to say, and tried to hug his mother tremblingly.

Lin Wan felt that something was fishy, ​​but now she couldn't find out about Mrs. Xu's condition.

It's OK to feel the pulse of a living person, but who would believe me if I told others about feeling the pulse of a dead person? I was afraid that I would be hit with a broom as soon as I said it.

But Mrs. Xu's death was indeed strange. It didn't seem like she died of heatstroke or brain problems.

I just heard from a few people that Mrs. Xu's symptoms before her death were clearly due to poisoning.

If it was poisoning, the person who did it must be very powerful. He poisoned the whole compound without anyone noticing.

Seeing Zhou Hui and Xia Jinghe being attacked continuously, Lin Wan sighed and stood in front of Xu Xiaorong.

The crowd was silent for a moment. What was Lin Wan going to do this evening?

Xu Xiaorong looked at Lin Wan with red eyes and growled hoarsely, "What are you going to do? If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be so many things to do."
