Dumb Widow 11
All night, the fourth sister-in-law did not return to Chen Wanyue's home, mainly because she needed to take care of her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law cried "Ouch, ouch", and the fourth sister-in-law was disgusted in her heart, but her face showed worry, and she kept comforting her: "Mother, it will be fine tomorrow."
"I...what sin have I committed to deserve this?"
"Mom, don't say that."
The other children were still serving at first, but later they became disgusted by the vomiting and there was a faint smell of vomit floating in the room, which few could stand, and in the end only the fourth sister-in-law was serving.
Chen Wanyue held a basin of hot water in her hand and walked silently behind the fourth sister-in-law.
"Ugh——" Mother-in-law vomited again.
The fourth sister-in-law hurriedly patted her back with one hand and picked up the basin on the ground with the other hand to catch all the water: "Mother!"
Shen Wanyue turned her head away, but the smell could not be avoided and rushed straight into her nose.
Seeing that the vomiting had stopped, the fourth sister-in-law took the water prepared by the side and fed it to her mother-in-law to rinse her mouth: "Come, mother."
"Uh-huh."
When the fourth sister-in-law turned around to get the handkerchief, she found Chen Wanyue. She paused for a moment, then smiled: "Sister-in-law, why are you here? I'm here."
Chen Wanyue smiled, put down the wooden basin in her hand, and wiped her mother-in-law's face with a towel soaked in hot water.
The mother-in-law is feeling uncomfortable, so why would she care who is serving her?
"My sister-in-law is really filial." When the fourth sister-in-law spoke, her eyes were looking at Chen Wanyue's forehead, where the ointment was applied. She was delighted and even looked at her mother-in-law more favorably.
My sister-in-law is so lucky! She was punched by me and left such a big hole, but she was able to wake up and her wound healed well.
What was applied on Chen Wanyue's forehead was not actually the medicine from the fourth sister-in-law, but the ointment that Wu Laifeng had remixed.
After simply cleaning up her mother-in-law, Shen Wanyue took her fourth sister-in-law's hand affectionately and pushed her out the door.
"Sister-in-law? What are you doing..."
Chen Wanyue gave a kind smile, pointed at her mother-in-law on the bed, and then pointed at herself.
The fourth sister-in-law's eyes lit up: "You want to take care of mother by yourself?"
"Um."
".....Will it be too tiring?" In fact, the fourth sister-in-law wished that the other party would stay and take care of her. It would be tiring enough to work in the morning and afternoon.
Moreover, the ointment on "Madam Li's" head should take effect tonight, and when her mother-in-law, a patient, dies...plus, her family members dislike Madam Li so they will definitely not delve into it. They will only think it is unlucky and wish she would disappear immediately.
My suspicion was naturally cleared.
Chen Wanyue pushed Fourth Sister-in-law's shoulders and walked out, shaking her head: It's not hard.
The fourth sister-in-law pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law..." She then gave some precautions before leaving.
His feet were wobbling when he walked, and he looked tired.
Chen Wanyue looked at the man's departing back, her eyes like a deep pool, deep and bottomless.
She pursed her lips slightly and followed her fourth sister-in-law with her eyes until she was blocked by a big tree in the distance, then she turned around and went back to the room.
"........What are you doing here? Let the fourth daughter-in-law come back!" The mother-in-law disliked Lady Li's husband since he was born a fool, and her disgust also extended to Lady Li, who was mute.
Shen Wanyue's lips, which originally had a slight curve, became a straight line, and her eyes looked straight at the other person.
She has no penchant for taking care of strangers.
The mother-in-law was not aware of what was going on. She leaned on the bed with her hands as rough as tree bark, and trembled with her lips: "What do you want to do?"
I don't want to do anything.
Shen Wanyue stretched out her hands, controlled her neck, and stuffed it with the handkerchief she had just used to wipe her face the moment she opened her mouth to call out.
The mother-in-law looked at her strange daughter-in-law with horror: "Woo! Ugh!"
As someone who has been digging wild vegetables for years, how could she misjudge which ones are poisonous and which ones are not? It was Chen Wanyue who secretly mixed the poisonous grass in. After she touched the fourth sister-in-law and got her memory, she began to think about what happened next.
Chen Wanyue didn't intend to kill him, so she would always loosen up her grip a little to prevent the person whose neck was choked from dying.
"......You!" The mother-in-law wanted to ask the other party what she wanted, but then she thought that Madam Li couldn't speak, so it was useless to ask, not to mention that she was having difficulty breathing at the moment, let alone saying a complete sentence.
Shen Wanyue snorted coldly and used a free finger to touch her injured forehead.
Only one hand was pinching the mother-in-law's neck, allowing her to speak. The sound that should have been a cry for help stopped abruptly, replaced by confusion and fear: "You... did you know I was there that night?"
"Hmm." Shen Wanyue made a sound with her throat.
The mother-in-law's eyes lit up. Was it because of this? Fortunately, she didn't go forward and kill me: "It was... it was Sister Zhu who did it. If you want to find her, then go find her? Come and kill... cough cough cough? Killing me for revenge is useless."
Shen Wanyue increased the strength of her hands. Her mother-in-law's face instantly became red, starting from her ears and spreading to her entire face. In the blink of an eye, her eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Um!!"
The veins on Shen Wanyue's thin arms were slightly protruding, but her expression was calm and her eyes were cold, as if she was treating an insignificant object.
When the mother-in-law was about to suffocate, she let go of her hand. She was telling the other person that your life is now in her hands.
"Cough cough cough..." Mother-in-law took a deep breath and the redness in her eyes slowly faded away.
After all this, the mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything, but what was certain was that her daughter-in-law did not want to live.
Chen Wanyue picked up the water on the table and gave it to her mother-in-law: Don’t really die.
She thought about using this method to interrogate her fourth sister-in-law, but Madam Li had not exercised for many years and ate little, so how could she fight against her fourth sister-in-law who was healthy and strong? Otherwise, she would be subdued instead.
What she needs now is to find evidence, and while ensuring her own safety, confront her fourth sister-in-law and make her admit that she killed "Madam Li".
As for Mrs. Zhu and her husband...they were not within her consideration. "Mrs. Li" only said to find out the murderer who killed her.
After the mother-in-law drank the water, she shuddered under Shen Wanyue's scrutinizing gaze, and then said: "That day, Sister Zhu said she would take me to ask you for money, and asked me to watch from the side. Who knew that an accident happened, you...you hit your head and broke it -, and later my son carried you back, and you are fine." So why did she have to question herself?
Shen Wanyue had guessed all of this. She had put so much effort into this not just to listen to some insignificant words.
Facing the other party's calm gaze, the mother-in-law forced herself to suppress the urge to vomit reaching her throat and said, "...That night, I really didn't want to go! Ahem, it was Sister Zhu who said that she saw Fourth Daughter-in-law and you made an appointment to erect a tombstone for my son. I thought, how could this be possible? So I went with you." Her voice gradually became smaller as she spoke.
Mrs. Li's husband died in an accident. According to the customs of their village, they should not do anything to erect a monument.
It was Madam Li who insisted on setting up the mourning hall, but the whole family would not allow the erection of a tombstone, so this has always been a thorn in Madam Li's heart.
Chen Wanyue felt distressed and also found it ridiculous.
When someone dies, they don't even want to help with the funeral, and now they have the nerve to force the widow to share the money? How shameless.
She had been holding her anger for so long during her lifetime, no wonder Madam Li was so resentful after her death.
"......If you really want to erect a monument for my son, you can move it somewhere else. I won't stop you!" Of course, the mother-in-law was just talking. How could she really agree?
She thought viciously, she would first keep the dead mute calm tonight, and when the others came tomorrow, she would have someone give the mute a good beating!
Chen Wanyue didn't care what her mother-in-law was thinking. In the remaining few days, whether she solved the murderer or not, she would not get entangled with the person in front of her.
In her eyes, there is no need to delve into people who are worthless.
But it would be better to tell the other party to shut up, so she took out a small medicine bottle from the pouch on her waist.
The mother-in-law opened her eyes wide, and her eyeballs seemed to fly out of their sockets: "........What do you want to do!!"
Chen Wanyue ignored everything else, pried open her mother-in-law's mouth, and poured the powder in the medicine bottle into her mouth.
This was what she had found with Wu Laifeng. This powder did not need to be digested and absorbed by the stomach and intestines to work. As for what it was, the effect could be seen immediately.
The mother-in-law thought there was poison in her mouth, and she panicked and put her finger into her throat. With a "vomit" sound, she lay on the edge of the bed and tried to spit it out.
She hadn't eaten anything today and had vomited many times before. This time, she vomited only some acid water.
After being exhausted, Chen Wanyue considerately poured more water for the person.
The mother-in-law threw away the water cup with one hand, pointed at Shen Wanyue and was about to scold her. She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't say a word.
.......!
Chen Wanyue stood aside, watching her panic, but she did not feel the joy she had imagined - she did not gain any benefit.
My mother-in-law has always called Li Niangzi dumb. Now that I have become a disabled person whom I hate, I wonder how I feel? Will I regret making things difficult for Li Niangzi and her husband before?
Chen Wanyue had no way of knowing these because the other party had become a mute, and everyone knew that a mute could not speak.
She didn't stay there. She put back the bamboo cup that was opened by her mother-in-law and left the room.
Although the mother-in-law said that she had nothing to do with it, in Li Niangzi's memory, she was not innocent. It can be said that Zhu Sao led people to block Li Niangzi with her instructions. How could she be innocent? She was just trying her best to shirk her responsibility.
Chen Wanyue did not return to her room, but went outside Mrs. Zhu's house and stood in the dark for a long time.
What she didn't know was that there was someone following her, and when she left her mother-in-law's room, she entered the house...
Outside Mrs. Zhu's house.
Today, Mrs. Zhu and her husband also took care of her mother-in-law for a long time, but they went back to rest because they couldn't bear it anymore.
Mrs. Zhu's husband fell asleep immediately, like a dead pig. Mrs. Zhu, on the other hand, could not fall asleep, tossing and turning, and her husband snored beside her, which made her even more uncomfortable.
It was late at night and she still had no sleepiness. If she got out of bed and sat for a while, maybe she would feel sleepy.
The moon was nice tonight, and it was dark so I couldn't do anything. Mrs. Zhu was so elegant that she admired the moon, smacked her lips, and muttered, "It's boring..."
When she wanted to go to bed again, she saw a person standing outside her house. She looked thin, so she must be a woman. Her hair was uncombed and flying in the breeze. She was motionless and looked scary.
