Chapter 726 Yes, I am Zhilian’s wife
Xue Guixiang obviously heard the sound as well. She jumped up, put on her clothes, and went downstairs to open the door.
Lin Qingqing also got up in a daze and went to the door with her mother-in-law.
However, the moment they opened the door, they were stunned.
They saw Qiao Jingzhen standing outside the door wearing only a thin nightgown. In the dim light, they saw a strange smile on Qiao Jingzhen's face.
Her snow-white hair was not combed as neatly as usual, but a little messy.
Xue Guixiang was startled and asked hurriedly, "Auntie, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"Where is my Zhilian?" Qiao Jingzhen still had a strange smile on his face.
Lin Qingqing took a breath and remembered that Qiao Jingzhen was an old man suffering from intermittent mental illness.
Qiao Jingzhen had been in her house for more than a year and had never had an attack, causing everyone to forget that she was a patient.
Xue Guixiang seemed to have remembered this as well, and hurriedly pulled Qiao Jingzhen in, "Auntie, come in if you have something to say, it's cold outside!"
As soon as Qiao Jingzhen was pulled into the house, Xue Guiqin hurriedly got dressed.
She was sleeping soundly. When she heard the noise, Qiao Jingzhen, who was sleeping outside, was gone. She was so scared that she hurriedly got up to check.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the old lady in her eldest sister's room.
Qiao Jingzhen was pulled by Xue Guixiang to the bedside, but she refused to sit on it. Instead, she asked, "Where is my Zhilian?"
Xue Guixiang knew that the Zhilian that Qiao Jingzhen mentioned was her deceased son.
But she didn't know how to answer.
She was so anxious that she wanted Qiao Jingzhen to go to bed quickly because she was wearing too thin clothes and would catch a cold if she stayed cold for too long.
But the old lady was very stubborn and kept asking, "Where is my Zhilian?"
Xue Guixiang had no way to deal with her.
Xue Guiqin was even more confused. She had no idea that the old lady was mentally ill, and now she was scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the old lady did not have the habit of committing crimes in the middle of the night, otherwise she would not know how she died.
She looked at her elder sister with resentful eyes and thought, elder sister, are you really my elder sister? You actually let me sleep with a mentally ill person for so long!
"Auntie, please go to bed first. It's too cold down there and you will catch a cold." Xue Guixiang coaxed her like a child.
"Where is my Zhilian? I want my Zhilian." The old lady's tone was light, but there was a kind of persistence in her voice.
Xue Guixiang was going crazy.
Lin Qingqing suddenly remembered that when she first met the old lady, she pulled Zhou Zhuo and kept calling him Zhilian. Fortunately, the comrades from the Women's Federation and the police station went there, otherwise she would not know what to do.
An idea suddenly struck her. Could it be that the old lady was looking for Zhou Zhuo? Could it be that Zhou Zhuo looked a lot like her own Zhilian?
Although the old lady was ill, she subconsciously knew that the New Year was approaching and Zhilian had to go home to reunite with her.
But now "Zhi Lian" is not here, so she has to keep looking for him.
Lin Qingqing hurriedly rummaged through boxes and drawers, found a black and white photo of Zhou Zhuo, held it in front of the old lady, and said, "Grandma Qiao, your Zhilian is here."
Qiao Jingzhen took the photo, looked at it carefully, nodded and smiled: "It is indeed my Zhilian."
Then he looked up at Lin Qingqing: "Are you Zhilian's wife?"
Lin Qingqing coughed a few times and decided to temporarily play the role of Zhilian's wife: "Yes, I am Zhilian's wife. Milk...goose, no, mom, please go to bed quickly!"
Oh my god! Oh my god!!
