Chapter 117 The Poor Old Couple



Li Mingqing took Sun Jiaxue home.

The people from Old Li's family followed behind, and Yang Daya talked non-stop excitedly.

"Did you see the expressions on Zhao Guiying and Zhang Cuihua's faces? They were so funny. They won't be able to sleep tonight."

Zhang Lihua said, "Be quiet, don't let others hear."

"What are you afraid of? I didn't curse at anyone."

Li Mingfang said, "If Aunt Zhang really wants Wang Daya to get married, why doesn't she just go straight to matchmaker Xu? It's hard to get it done if she keeps fiddling around like this."

"Third brother, she wants Wang Daya to find a rich man and use the betrothal gifts to arrange for Wang Daguo to marry a wife."

"I don't know what they're thinking. Rich people are not fools."

"How can we, who work so hard in the fields, get to know rich people?"

"So she would go up to the young men from the commune whenever she saw them, bringing shame to the village."

Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, Old Lady Li quickly said, "Speak less."

The next day the village chief brought good news.

Grandma Zhao’s matter has been settled and the documents have been received.

Li Mingqing's mood remained unchanged after hearing this, which was within his expectations.

The village chief came over and said, "Ming Qing, you have truly made a great contribution."

"It's all thanks to uncle, who worked so hard and busily."

The two were about to go to Grandma Zhao's house to tell her the good news, when they met the staggering Old Man Wu on the way.

"Old Wu, what's wrong?"

"Village Chief, I'm going to Old Li's house to look for the Li boy. My wife has hanged herself."

He finished speaking while panting and then saw Li Mingqing.

"Mingqing, please go and see him. The barefoot doctor said there's nothing he can do. Please have pity on an old man like me."

"Don't worry, sir. I'll go take a look."

The village chief was extremely anxious and there was no peace in the village.

On the way there, Li Mingqing was thinking, didn't the Wu family just split up? Although the process of splitting up was like a war, it was a split after all, so how could something go wrong again?

The old Wu family, Wu Liqiang and Wu Liguo's families stood in the yard looking at the old woman Wu lying on the straw mat.

The barefoot doctor was pinching the old woman's philtrum.

The clearly visible marks of strangulation on the old woman's neck were shocking.

"Li family boy, come over and take a look."

The barefoot doctor looked at Li Mingqing coming as if he had seen a savior. If Li Mingqing couldn't save the patient, then there would be no hope.

Li Mingqing touched the old woman's neck and felt her pulse.

Fortunately, there was still a faint pulse.

There is still hope.

He took out the silver needle from his pocket and was about to insert the needle when a woman said, "The old woman is beyond help, so let her go peacefully. The sooner she dies, the sooner she will be reborn."

The woman who was speaking was Liu Xiang, the wife of Wu Liqiang, the eldest son of the Wu family.

Old Man Wu looked at Old Lady Wu lying on the ground and said, "Daughter-in-law, how could you say such a thing? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Dad, look at what you're saying. It was Mom who didn't want to live. We didn't make her hang herself."

"That's right, it's obvious you just want to make things difficult for us."

Wu Liguo's daughter-in-law Zhou Xiaoshuang echoed.

The two usually don't get along, but now they are on the same front, a rare occasion.

They were afraid that Old Lady Wu would suffer from sequelae after being rescued, and if that happened, they would have to take care of her forever.

Li Mingqing glanced at the person who came and lowered his head to start the needle.

A minute later, Mrs. Li's slight cough made the village chief and old man Wu breathe a sigh of relief.

She weakly opened her eyes, looked at the people around her, and began to wipe away her tears again.

The village chief asked, "What happened? How could a healthy person hang himself?"

"Village Chief, this has nothing to do with us. She is just being too picky."

"Mom, please explain quickly. We are not harsh on you and have never treated you unfairly."

Liu Xiang and Zhou Xiaoshuang kept talking to each other.

The village chief said sternly, "Alright, Liqiang, Liguo, tell me what's going on."

Wu Liqiang stammered, "We just wanted Mom to cook us a meal, but who knew that we would be so upset."

Old Mrs. Wu has recovered.

"You want to force me to death, not make me cook. My death may be just what you want. You really forget your mother after marrying a wife."

"Mom, how can you say that about your son? Do you want others to stab us in the back? We are your own sons."

Old Lady Wu said, "My biological sons? Hahaha, I am still your biological mother who gave birth to you and raised you."

She laughed and cried at the same time.

After going through the gates of hell, I have figured everything out. I can do whatever I want in the future.

Liu Xiang and Zhou Xiaoshuang took turns to cause trouble. If they were not satisfied with something, they would point at her and scold her without caring at all that she was their elder.

After the separation, he became even more rampant, and the two of them asked him to do work from time to time.

It would be fine if they just did the work, but they had to come together, which was clearly to make things difficult for her. It wouldn't be good for anyone to go to first.

Wu Liqiang and Wu Liguo acted as invisible people throughout the whole process, watching coldly without saying a word.

The granddaughter and grandson don’t call grandpa and grandma, they always talk about the old people.

No one can bear this.

"You will suffer retribution in the future. May the heavens strike you with lightning."

"Well, you old fool finally revealed your true colors. I told you she was pretending, but now you've revealed your true colors. You're cursing us. You're so vicious! It's a pity we treated you like an elder and took care of you."

"Liu Xiang, there is a god above you. Don't be afraid of others knowing you, but be afraid of yourself knowing you. From now on, don't even think about asking me to do any work."

Liu Xiang and Zhou Xiaoshuang looked at each other and both condemned Old Lady Wu.

"Master, look at what mother said. It hurts my heart so much."
