Chapter 75 is very strange
Old Mrs. Wang was really hit hard this time. Before, she would howl when she felt a little uncomfortable, but now she can only hum and can't even shout.
Looking at her pale face, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, obviously she was in great pain.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Shen Yaoming hurried forward and asked with concern, "But where did you fall?"
Wang Yalan was also very nervous: "Mom, why aren't you sitting still?"
Liu Wan had been having issues with the first wife's family recently, but she didn't object this time. Instead, she echoed Wang Yalan's words, saying, "The road conditions here are bad. It's full of potholes and very bumpy."
Old Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable listening to what they said, but since their concern didn't seem fake, she didn't think too much about it.
She now has pain in her feet, waist, and buttocks. There is no place on her body that doesn't hurt.
"Grandma, let me help you up." Shen Yaoxuan and his brother Shen Yaoyang helped the person up together.
As soon as she stood firm, the old lady started howling loudly.
This time, it was much more sincere than before.
"Mom, are you hurt?" Shen Shiren was very worried. Except for the years when he was young, his mother had lived a life of luxury after he became successful. How could she have suffered such a hardship?
Shen Shifu followed behind his eldest brother, feeling annoyed by his mother's constant annoyance, but he also stepped forward to express his concern: "What should we do now? I don't know if we can get a doctor."
When Liu Wan heard the man say this, she murmured, "Even if we had a doctor, we don't have the money."
In the past, all the money was paid by the old lady and Dafang, so they didn't care. Now the old lady has no money, and Wang Yalan refuses to admit that she has any money on her. She will definitely not take out the little money she has hidden privately.
Shen Shiren paused for a moment and said, "Let's take a look first."
If he really couldn't find a doctor, then... His gaze fell on the official road ahead, as if he wanted to see something through the official road.
The group hurriedly got the person back on the cart.
This time, Old Mrs. Wang stopped making trouble and lay still, holding on to the edge of the cart tightly with both hands, for fear that it would accidentally overturn again.
Captain Wu and others sneered. This guy couldn't enjoy a good life, but he insisted on doing something really bad. Now, few of them are sincere.
The group continued on their journey.
I don’t know if the road ahead was smoother or if the people pushing the cart were more careful, but this time, the old lady didn’t feel as bumpy.
But it was just a simple wooden cart after all, and after falling twice in a row, she felt that there was no part of her body that didn't hurt, and the pain was getting worse and worse.
This person would get bad-tempered if he was not feeling well at all, and Old Lady Wang herself was not a good-tempered person. She wanted to curse reflexively, but those ungrateful bastards were all dead away. Besides her two sons, three grandsons, and two granddaughters, the only people around her were her two sons and three grandsons.
She couldn't bear to scold her own son and grandson. Wang Yalan was her niece after all. Although she had been dissatisfied with her these days, she was still devoted to her. She still had to rely on her for care, so Liu Wan and her two daughters became her punching bags.
In the past, Liu Wan, her mother, and her two daughters would have endured it for the sake of the benefits, but now, no one can help but endure this humiliation.
"Mom, these shackles are too heavy. Juanjuan and Lili and I need a break."
After saying this, without waiting for their answer, he took his two daughters' hands and walked straight forward.
The iron shackles rattled as they were shaken.
Old Mrs. Wang felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down. Her chest was heaving violently, and she was obviously very angry.
"Okay, okay, very okay!" The old lady was furious. "Do you all think I'm a burden because I have no money? Do you wish I could die right now?"
"Mom, please don't be angry," Wang Yalan said quickly, "You are our backbone. With you, our Shen family will stand firm. You are not in good health, and we are worried about you. How could we have other ideas?"
"That's nice to say," Old Lady Wang snorted coldly, "most of that is just to coax me."
That being said, there was a noticeable softening of sentiment.
Wang Yalan was worthy of being the mistress of the house as a concubine who stepped on the original wife who was carefully raised. After years of immersion in the business, her ability to coax people was top-notch. With just a few words, she diverted the old lady's anger.
Shen Shifu hesitated for a moment before he said, "Mom, I'll go see them, mother and daughter."
"They are holding a grudge against me for not paying the money to exchange for the iron shackles." Old Mrs. Wang curled her lips. A daughter-in-law and two little girls are nothing all day long, yet they want to enjoy the same treatment as men. It's a beautiful dream.
If they paid for it themselves, she wouldn't say a word.
However, if they don't give them the money now, she will definitely not let them off!
Old Mrs. Wang thought bitterly.
"How could that be?" Shen Shifu flattered, "They have always respected you."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Mother, Wan'er is Yaoxuan and Yaoyang's mother after all. The two children have felt guilty for a long time because they couldn't share her self-blame..."
"Alright, alright," the old lady waved her hands, "it turns out I'm just a bad person."
He forgot about his mother's things after getting a wife. Look at his eyes, she really owes this son.
Four people left at once, leaving only five people: Shen Yaoxuan's brothers, Shen Yaoming, and Wang Yalan and her husband.
They originally wanted to wait for Shen Shifu to coax the people before pushing together, but Captain Wu behind them cracked the whip again. They did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly pushed the cart with all their strength.
Old Mrs. Wang was not prepared yet, and as luck would have it, there was a pothole ahead that was unavoidable, and the wheel of the car fell into it. The old lady's head tilted and hit the edge of the wooden board, and she instantly saw stars.
But because someone was urging them from behind, their full attention was on pushing the cart and they didn't notice anything unusual about the old lady.
In other words, someone noticed it, but it was deliberately ignored.
I thought Shen Shifu and his companions would be back soon, but unexpectedly, they went straight to the post station.
This made Shen Shiren and others very dissatisfied.
Shen Shifu said with a smile: "Aren't Yaoxuan and Yaoyang here? Big brother, everyone pushed you for so long without saying a word, how come you can't stand it after just a few minutes?"
Shen Shiren choked instantly.
When they arrived at the post station, they looked for a doctor. Unfortunately, Old Lady Wang was unlucky. There was no one who knew medicine in the post station or in the surrounding area.
The medicine on her body had been used up long ago, and Mrs. Wang’s condition was very bad now. This would not work.
Shen Shiren shamelessly went to Captain Wu for help. Captain Wu shrugged and said that he could not make the decision. Shen Shiren then went to find Lin Hongyang. Unfortunately, Lin Hongyang hated this family so much that he naturally would not see him. However, he was the person in charge after all, so he took out a bottle of medicine for bruises and injuries.
After thanking him repeatedly, Shen Shiren took the medicine bottle from the soldier's hand and hurried back to ask Wang Yalan to give it to his mother.
Wang Yalan naturally would not refuse.
Not only did she give the old lady medicine, she also considerately applied specially picked and crushed herbs to her.
She didn't know if it was the ointment or the herbs that worked, but Mrs. Wang felt that the areas where she had been massaged were numb, and gradually, she couldn't even feel the pain anymore.
"Mom, how do you feel now?" Wang Yalan asked with concern.
Old Mrs. Wang feels much better now, and a long-lost smile finally appears on her face.
Wang Yalan breathed a sigh of relief: "Please rest for a while, I'll go get you some food."
In the evening, there was still black-faced steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup.
She quickly finished her meal and went to help beat the old lady.
This time, the soldier had been told in advance and did not make things difficult for her, so he gave it to her directly. Wang Yalan thanked him and went back to her room with the bowl. In a corner where the old lady was not paying attention, she took out something from her sleeve, sprinkled it in the bowl, and quickly put it away. Then she walked up to the old lady with a smile.
"Mom, it's time for dinner." Her voice was soft, as if she was coaxing someone.
Old Mrs. Wang was very hungry, but when she saw the black and hard steamed buns, she instantly lost her appetite.
"If you don't want to eat steamed buns, then drink some soup. It will at least fill your stomach," Wang Yalan advised. "Or, I can soak the steamed buns in the soup?"
Old Mrs. Wang was afraid of death, so she naturally knew that her body would not be able to bear not eating. She forced herself to sit up, asked Wang Yalan to break the steamed bun into pieces and put it into the soup bowl, and then she ate it all in one gulp.
After the hot food entered her stomach, she felt much better instantly. She handed the bowl to Wang Lanya and said that she wanted to take a nap.
Wang Yalan stopped disturbing her and left with the bowl.
Not long after she left, Liu Wan came in with her two children.
"Grandma, are you asleep?" Shen Lili asked.
Old Mrs. Shen glared at them and ignored them.
Liu Wan knew that what she had done that afternoon had made the old lady angry, so she didn't rush. She took out a bunch of flowers from her pocket and handed them over: "Mom, I know you love flowers. We picked these on the road. They are very fragrant. Do you like them?"
As he said that, he handed the flower over and put it to the old lady's nose: "Mom, smell it."
She hadn't noticed it today, but it was Wang Yalan who had a sharp eye. However, she had picked the best-looking bouquets herself.
If it weren't for her man coaxing her to be patient temporarily, she would definitely not give it to this damn old woman.
Old Mrs. Wang has seen many flowers over the years, but this is the first time she has seen one like this. However, the smell is quite pleasant.
Had she smelled it somewhere before?
"Did you put it in the package before?" she asked.
"Yes," Liu Wan didn't understand, but said truthfully, "It's in the package next to it."
Old Mrs. Wang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she felt the smell was familiar. It turned out that it had been kept in the room all the time.
~~~~~~~~
After Lu Yao and the others had dinner, the four of them accompanied their brother back to his room to wash up.
To get back to the guest rooms, one has to pass through several large bunk beds, which are reserved for exiled prisoners to sleep.
When passing one of the rooms, Lu Mingxiu's movements paused for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, picked up Yueyue with one hand, held Haohao's hand with the other, and quickly left.
"You must be exhausted from all the work here. Take a bath and relax later," he said.
Lu Yao did not refuse. She had been busy traveling these days and had indeed neglected her two children.
"You too."
So, don't look down on anyone.
Lu Yao: “…”
She looked at her man and said with grievance: "Have I fallen out of favor?"
Rong Yanhui reached out and took her hand, "You have me."
What's the use of being a brother? Just love the two little ones. He loves his lover.
Lu Yao was instantly happy. She snorted coldly at her brother, raised her chin slightly, and raised her eyebrows proudly. She was also loved by someone.
Lu Mingxiu: “…”
I can’t keep this little sister anymore.
After the family members took turns washing up, Lu Mingxiu asked each of them to take a pill with detoxification effect before sending them back. However, he took them in a detour, under the pretext of taking his nephew for a walk.
Not only that, he also told my younger sister and her family not to go out once they got home and to go to bed early.
Lu Yao: ...Okay, you’re the boss and you have the final say.
only,
Why is my brother suddenly acting so abnormal?
After sending him to the door, Lu Mingxiu gave him a look that indicated he had figured it out, then turned and left.
On the way back, I didn’t take any more detours and went straight through the door of the dormitory.
"Brother, this is..." obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Recalling the little moments we spent together, it seems like nothing happened.
Rong Yanhui rubbed her head and said, "If you can't figure it out, just forget about it. Brother will never harm us."
Lu Yao nodded.
That's true, but I can't help but feel worried.
strangeness,
It's really strange.
Brother, what do you want to do or have you discovered something?
I had a vague guess in my mind, but it seemed too absurd.
They didn't know the reason until the next morning.
