Zhang Jun's mother suddenly fainted, which terrified Yang Fengxia, who was completely at a loss as to what to do.
It was only after being reminded by her neighbors that she remembered to pinch her philtrum.
"Pinch the philtrum."
"Pinch the philtrum."
"Oh, oh, okay, okay," Yang Fengxia responded repeatedly, her hands busy pinching Zhang Jun's mother's philtrum.
But Zhang Jun's mother's entire weight was on her, so she couldn't find a comfortable position or exert any force with her hands. She pinched twice, leaving two deep red fingernail marks on Zhang Jun's mother's philtrum, but she still couldn't wake her up.
Her movements were clumsy and frustrating to watch. A neighbor who was with Zhang Jun's mother stepped forward and said, "Put her down on the ground, I'll do it."
After another round of fuss, Zhang Jun's mother was finally woken up by being pinched.
Zhang Jun's mother felt a sharp pain under her nose. She wanted to get angry, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with several pairs of concerned eyes.
She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had just fainted. Before she fainted, she had heard her mother-in-law say that the so-called 'master' was a heartless fraudster!
That damned bastard tricked her into believing he could get pregnant even if she couldn't conceive, and even guaranteed a son. He tricked her into donating all her family's savings to incense money...
Bah, bah, bah! What kind of money is this? It sounds better than any song. He's a fraud, not a real master. Look at him, all fat and greasy. All his hard-earned money went into the pockets of this gang of thieves, becoming the fish and meat on the dinner table. Not a single penny was left.
My grandson is gone, and so is my money...
Thinking of this, Zhang Jun's mother was overcome with grief and couldn't help but burst into tears.
grandson……
My grandson...
"Hey, no, mother-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Yang Fengxia was bewildered by her crying.
Good heavens, I'm dizzy and crying, what's going on?
"I...I..." Zhang Jun's mother opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
What was she supposed to say?
In front of someone's own mother, you said that her mother-in-law was stupid and brainless for believing in that bullshit 'master,' and that your daughter also drank the 'master's' fertility formula?
Is she asking for a beating? Haven't you heard that recipe is incredibly filthy? It used to be given to prostitutes.
Besides, she couldn't bear the embarrassment.
Who told Aunt Zhang to boast about her shrewdness all day long? Little did she know that her efforts to hunt geese would backfire and she would end up getting pecked in the eye by the geese.
If word gets out, people will laugh at you for the rest of your life.
"No, it's nothing. I, I just got pinched and it hurts..." Zhang Jun's mother covered her nose guiltily. "Well, well, I'll go back first. It doesn't look good with this face on."
"Then I'll take you," Yang Fengxia said kindly. "Oh dear, you just fainted. Please don't faint again on the way back."
"No need, my old neighbor is keeping me company."
Zhang Jun's mother waved her hand and declined, then walked out of the alley as she spoke.
“Mother-in-law, don’t be so polite with me. I’m just killing time anyway…”
Yang Fengxia was about to chase after them again when Sister Chen grabbed her arm from behind: "Hey, I'm telling you, don't keep chasing after them. You're about to get into trouble and you still don't realize it?"
"What's wrong? I didn't do anything, what trouble could I possibly be in?"
Sister Chen pursed her lips: "Didn't you notice at all?"
"What did you see?" Yang Fengxia stared, her big eyes filled with complete bewilderment.
"..."
Sister Chen was speechless: "I say, old lady, you've really wasted your years."
"Uh..." Yang Fengxia scratched her head: "How about you give me a heads-up?"
Why did your mother-in-law faint?
Why?
Sister Chen said irritably, "What did you say to her before she fainted?"
"Well, they didn't say anything. It's just that the swindler gave people the drugs he used to feed prostitutes. Everyone in the area knows that." Yang Fengxia still didn't understand.
Sister Chen couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Use your brain and think about what use that medicine is?"
"Isn't it just about preventing prostitutes from menstruating so they can take on more customers? If they drink it for too long and their health suffers, it'll save them the trouble of getting pregnant..." Yang Fengxia scratched her head: "What does this have to do with me? I'm already menopausal."
Sister Chen: "..."
Good heavens, you really have no brains.
"You've gone through menopause, but your daughter hasn't!"
"My daughter is pregnant, but pregnant women don't get their periods."
Sister Chen couldn't help but roll her eyes again: "Your daughter hasn't been able to get pregnant for seven or eight years, how come she got pregnant the moment this swindler came along? Why did your in-laws faint when they heard he was a swindler? Use your pig brain and think it through."
Sister Chen practically pointed it out to Yang Fengxia, and Yang Fengxia finally realized what was going on.
"You mean, my daughter also drank this swindler's medicine?"
"Then, does she have a child in her belly...?"
Yang Fengxia dared not say what came next.
Sister Chen looked at her with pity.
"ah--"
Yang Fengxia suddenly let out a howl, then rolled up her sleeves, gritted her teeth, and rushed out.
"Hey, hey, hey? Where are you going?"
Yang Fengxia ran very fast, and Sister Chen kept chasing after her, but she couldn't catch up.
She ran all the way to Zhang Jun's door and kicked it open, yelling, "You, surnamed Cao, come out here!"
Zhang Jun's mother's surname is Cao, but her real name is Yang Fengxia, because in recent years everyone has called her Zhang Jun's mother or Aunt Zhang.
Zhang Jun's mother didn't come out; it was Fang Xue who did.
She supported her back and lifted the curtain at the door to come out of the house.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Noticing Yang Fengxia's unusual mood, she smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "What happened? Why are you so angry?"
