Chapter 77 It’s Really Gone
Wang Yalan put the package back to its original place, without even looking at the old lady. She stood up, turned her back to her, tugged at her clothes, and said, "You rest first. I'll go get some food."
After saying that, he didn't care whether the person on the bed responded or not, and walked straight out of the room to line up for food.
Because the old woman suddenly attacked, Wang Yalan was delayed for a while. At this time, there were only a few people left in the queue. By the time she had received her own share, Shen Yaoming had finished eating and came over to help receive Mrs. Wang's share.
"Mom, you eat first. I'll take it in for grandma." Shen Yaoming said.
Wang Yalan shook her head: "Your grandmother is still resting, I can go later."
She was really scared of that damn old woman. What if she went crazy again and scared her son?
Shen Yaoming just thought that his grandmother was really tired. Thinking of her recent condition, he did not insist. He sat next to Wang Yalan and talked to her from time to time.
There are some things that Wang Yalan will not hide from her son.
She briefly told Shen Yaoming about the dispute she had just had with the old lady, and was struggling with what to do next.
"Now that the old woman knows that I have..., she will definitely not let it go." Wang Yalan gritted her teeth in hatred, not knowing what to do next.
Shen Yaoming thought for a moment, "Does mother have any plan to deal with this?"
Wang Yalan snorted coldly. She would never admit it anyway.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave the things there."
Then she will prove her innocence and if she can't find the thing, everyone will think she is senile and confused. Let's see how that old woman ends up.
Shen Yaoming thought for a moment, nodded, and then comforted his mother: "Don't worry," he asked again, "How did grandma find out? Are you hurt?"
Wang Yalan said that she was fine and told her son not to worry. After she finished her meal, she took the bowl and walked into the house.
Here, Liu Wan and others have finished eating.
Logically speaking, after a tiring day, they should go into the house and rest early, but when they saw Wang Yalan still outside and thought of the old woman in the house who was becoming more and more difficult, they were no longer in a hurry.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so it's nice to sit outside, enjoy the cool breeze and take a break.
Wang Yalan walked into the room carrying a bowl, feeling weak. Several of her companions were already sitting on the bed, preparing to rest. When they saw her come in, they looked away.
As for the Shen family, they would try to avoid them as much as possible.
Wang Yalan didn't care. She walked and said, "Mom, it's time to eat. Let's eat and then go to sleep."
She put the bowl on the table beside her and walked over to help the person sit up.
However, as soon as he stepped forward, he saw the old lady's eyes wide open, her pupils constricted, and her heart tightened as well. After missing two beats, her heart began to beat violently again.
She was really frightened.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Wang Yalan thought of a possibility and her face turned pale in an instant. She told herself not to panic, not to lose her composure. She took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down. She sighed softly and shouted nonchalantly, "Let's get up and eat."
The old lady remained motionless.
Wang Yalan was certain of her suspicions, but she pretended not to show them. She assumed the old lady was mad at her because of something that had happened before. She said, "Mom, please don't be angry, okay? If I had money, I would have given it to you long ago. How could I possibly watch you and Yaoming suffer?"
"Come, let's sit up and eat," Wang Yalan sat beside her, reaching out to help her up. "The steamed buns tonight are delicious. Eat more and you'll get better soon. As for the money, don't worry, my cousin and I will find a way."
Wang Yalan kept mumbling and reached out to help the person tremblingly.
The temperature of the skin on her hand was obviously not as warm as before. She placed it calmly on the other person's neck, but did not feel any beating. Her heart, which had calmed down a little, began to beat violently again.
She was in a very complicated mood. She was excited about finally getting rid of this dead old woman, but also panicked about accidentally killing someone. However, when she thought about what she was about to face, those emotions instantly turned into tension.
Looking around, she saw that everyone in the room had their backs to her. She quickly reached out and touched the old lady's upper eyelid, rubbing it down hard. She didn't let go until she was sure her eyes were closed. However, her eyes, which were clearly closed, slowly opened again.
Wang Yalan unconsciously felt a sense of meaning in her heart, and she whispered to herself, praying to the Buddha to bless the old lady and let her rest in peace, and not to cause trouble to the living.
While muttering to himself, he rubbed his hands together, and when his palms were warm, he put them on again.
I don’t know if it was really the Bodhisattva’s blessing or something else, but this time, after closing my eyes, I never opened them again.
She breathed a sigh of relief and took another deep breath:
"Mom, are you asleep or are you angry with me? Let's stop making trouble."
"Mother, mother..."
Wang Yalan said the last part, and then she pushed with her hand, as if she had just touched the other person's skin, and exclaimed: "Mom, are you cold? Why are your hands so cold?"
"Mom, please get up quickly. We just need something hot to drink."
Several people not far away were attracted by Wang Yalan's voice and couldn't help turning their heads to look over. She was holding the old lady's hand, trying to keep her warm, while the person lying on the bed did not move.
The old lady is like this... I don’t know if they are overthinking it.
Wang Yalan felt the gazes of several people and smiled at them apologetically: "I'm sorry to bother you."
After she finished speaking, she let go of the old lady's hand and got out of bed again. "Mom must be really angry. I'll go ask my cousin to comfort her."
After everyone left, someone whispered, "I think there's something wrong with Old Lady Wang."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed: "I think so too."
"Actually, I also," another person said, "hopefully, we're just being overly suspicious."
"Maybe. If there really is a problem, then the Shen family's daughter-in-law should have noticed something was wrong just now."
After all, it is somewhat disrespectful for a good person to be treated as that by them.
Blessed be the Heavenly Venerable, Namo Amitabha...
Shen Shiren was soon called over by Wang Yalan.
He is very filial, but he has been under a lot of pressure these days and is very tired of my willful behavior. For my sake, he even spoke to that bastard. Can't I think more about him?
While complaining, he walked to the old lady: "Mom, get up and eat," he said, sitting down, "Son, can you feed you?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to help the man up.
only,
As soon as Shen Shiren's hands touched the man's arms, he realized something was wrong.
"Mom, mom, wake up, wake up quickly."
His voice changed from nervous to anxious, and finally to panic: "Mom, Mom..."
"What's going on?" Shen Shiren turned his head to look at Wang Yalan with an unfriendly tone.
Wang Yalan also looked innocent, "I don't know either."
If she had known, she wouldn't have asked for help.
Well, actually, she already knew what might happen, but she couldn't show any abnormality.
Her son couldn't possibly spend his whole life as an exiled prisoner in Ganzhou. He still had a bright future, and he couldn't have a mother who was a murderer.
Shen Shiren's voice instantly attracted other people.
Everyone came up and asked, "Brother, what happened?"
"Father, what happened to grandma?"
“…”
Wang Yalan finally reacted at this time and threw herself in front of the old lady, saying in disbelief: "Cousin, what happened to Mom? Tell me."
Shen Shiren understood that this person knew nothing, and his face turned ugly, "Mom, maybe..."
"Impossible!" Shen Shifu shouted, "Quickly find a doctor."
"It's no use," Shen Shiren said calmer than ever. "Mother has already... passed away..."
The last two seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"No, that's impossible," Shen Shifu shook his head. "Mom was fine before. You must have seen it wrong, big brother."
As he said this, he stepped forward and tried to wake the old lady up.
However, when his hand touched the old lady's face, it instantly retracted as if it had been stung by a bee.
The whole person collapsed to the ground.
"Brother..." His eyes instantly turned red and tears burst out.
Although he blamed his mother for being restless and wanted to draw a clear line with her and have some peace and quiet, he never thought that his mother would leave them like this.
Liu Wan, her mother and daughter, who came in later, also understood what had happened. Their first reaction was joy, but then they immediately put on sad expressions, but they were actually very happy in their hearts.
This damn old woman is finally dead!
Several people not far away also reacted, quickly crawled off the bed and ran out.
It turned out that something really happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The news that Old Lady Wang's condition worsened and she suddenly passed away spread throughout the team in an instant.
This was the first death in the team since the exile, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
In fact, they all knew that this kind of situation was common. If they put themselves in his shoes, they could not help but empathize with him. It also made them realize that exile would really kill people.
At the same time, they were even more fortunate that they were escorted by upright and strict officers like Lin Hongyang.
The death of Old Lady Wang was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was not surprising either.
These days, her condition has been up and down, and many people have already thought about what might happen. Now, this speculation has been confirmed.
Lu Yao and the others also sighed. They didn't expect that the old lady was so lucky and could hold on for so many days.
"Is she really..." Mo Zhu was a little skeptical.
Although he also hoped that the old lady would be in trouble, he still felt a little sad that she passed away in such an unclear manner.
Lu Mingxiu shook his head: "They are all people who have nothing to do with us, so there is no need to worry too much."
"Mingming, I should be happy that she is gone." Rong Yanhui felt a little unhappy. What the old lady had done to them over the years was enough to make him hate her to death. Now that his enemy was gone, he felt neither happy nor sad.
Lu Yao held his hand and said, "Those insignificant people, whether dead or alive, have nothing to do with us."
Therefore, it is most normal to be neither happy nor sad.
Rong Yan nodded, agreeing with this explanation.
After confirming that the old lady was really dead, Lin Hongyang immediately made arrangements and asked someone to find a mat and bury her on the spot.
Shen Shiren wanted to give his mother a coffin and also wanted to ask someone to perform a prayer for her soul. Unfortunately, he was short of money and the conditions did not allow it. In the end, he could only watch the soldiers take her away.
Only after the old lady was taken away and buried did Wang Yalan finally feel relieved.
After the fear and worry, all that remains is excitement.
The old woman finally died, and no one could order her around anymore.
The old lady who had been showing off for half her life finally retired in this way.
If she knew that she would die at the hands of the niece she had loved her whole life, she wouldn't know if she would regret it...
