Chapter 994 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man stopped at the Song family for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then set off on her journey home with Huo Qinghuan and her son Huo Yining.
Her mother-in-law Xiao Ya and father-in-law Huo Junshan stayed at the Song family and were not expected to return home until evening.
As soon as Lin Man entered the house, Huo Li came forward and asked with concern: "Xiao Man, how did Qingyan's mother-in-law leave?"
Lin Man sighed and said slowly: "Ms. Tang suffers from high blood pressure and felt a headache when she woke up in the morning, but her family didn't pay much attention to it.
Her husband thought she caught a cold just because of the cold weather, and seeing that she was feeling uncomfortable, he considerately gave her two cold medicine pills.
However, no one expected that when she went to pour out the vegetable washing water, she suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
The fall was a serious one, triggering a cerebral hemorrhage. In just three minutes, Ms. Tang passed away, without even having time to explain her final wishes.
Lin Man's voice was a little low as she continued, "Ms. Tang's family blamed the Song family for making her work even though they knew she was unwell.
My sister-in-law's wife accused my sister-in-law of asking Ms. Tang to look after the store. My sister-in-law cried until her eyes were swollen. Qingyan and the children could only stay with her in the mourning hall..."
Before Lin Man could finish her words, Huo Li suddenly interrupted her: "It's freezing cold, how could Qingyan be so ignorant? He actually let the children kneel in the mourning hall with Xiao Song?
Chenchen is fine, but Anran and Anyan are still young, how can they withstand such a torment?"
Grandpa's voice revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and worry. Lin Man hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, don't worry. My parents-in-law haven't returned home yet, so they stayed at the Song family to take care of the children. They are warming themselves by the fire in the house with the children right now. You can rest assured."
Before leaving, Lin Man asked her mother-in-law if she wanted to leave with her, but her father-in-law had originally planned to come back.
However, the mother-in-law said that she had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, so she might as well stay at the Song family to see if there was any help needed.
At that time, Lin Man knew very well that the reason why her mother-in-law chose to stay was that she was worried that her son would be blamed by Tang Lihong's family, and she was also worried that her grandchildren would suffer in the Song family, so she chose to stay.
Of course, the mother-in-law must have been worried about Song Jingjing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so moved to tears the moment she saw Song Jingjing crying.

Lin Man didn't interfere too much in the Song family's affairs. Grandpa had asked her to take her son to pay her respects, and she had already done so.
When Ms. Tang's funeral is held on the seventh day, she and Huo Qinghuan will go to the funeral together.
Because the weather was too cold, Lin Man took the children home to sit by the fire and watch TV in the afternoon. They didn’t have to cook in the evening, they just had to heat up the leftover lunch.
After dinner, Lin Man began to prepare hot water for the children to soak their feet before going to bed. After they washed their faces and feet, she let them go back to their rooms to sleep.
At around 8:30, Huo Junshan, his wife, and Huo Yichen and his two siblings all returned.
As soon as they entered the house, Huo Qinghuan asked, "Mom, you brought Chenchen and the others back. Where's my second brother? Is he staying at the Song family to accompany my second sister-in-law?"
Xiao Ya hurriedly explained, "The weather is really too cold today, and Ranran and Yanyan both had runny noses from the cold, so we brought them back.
Your brother stayed at the Song family's with Jingjing, Chenchen said he wanted to stay too, and Zizi said she was scared, so I brought them all back."
Lin Man understood immediately. Song Jingjing's children were all back, and her parents-in-law would definitely be worried that they would be frightened if they stayed at the Song family's house at night.
Thinking of this, Lin Man quickly began to arrange accommodation for the children. She first let Huo Yichen sleep with her son Huo Yiwen so that the two boys could take care of each other.
Then, she let Huo Yingzi and Huo Rou sleep with her daughter Huo Yixin, so that the three girls could have company.
As for Huo Yifei, the bed-wetter, Lin Man thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate to let her brother-in-law Huo Qinghuan sleep with him.
After all, my brother-in-law is young and strong, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to take care of Huo Yifei at night.
Finally, Lin Man arranged her parents-in-law to sleep in the suite on the right side of the main courtyard, and let them sleep with the twins Huo Anran and Huo Anyan.
Lin Man had just finished making the arrangements when Xiao Ya said, "Xiao Man, we still have to send Chenchen and the others to the Song family tomorrow morning. Your aunt is coming to pay New Year's greetings to the old man, so I'll have to trouble you to entertain her."
