Chapter 281 My Wish 3
At night, the woman pushed open the door and entered the room. When she saw Yu Ke sitting on the bed, she immediately frowned and started muttering.
"Why can't you just lie down? You hurt your head! Why are you moving around so much?"
Yu Ke looked at the woman and smiled softly, "I can't lie down for too long."
Seeing her like this, the woman's heart softened at once. She brought dinner over and fed her, feeling puzzled.
Why do I feel like she looks better after being injured?
Yu Ke felt uncomfortable being fed, but in order to maintain the setting of being injured, she did not refuse the woman's feeding.
The dinner was not very sumptuous, just a thick porridge made of vegetables and lean meat.
The woman seemed to think that Yu Ke would not be used to the food, and she explained a few words before feeding her.
"Our conditions here are not good, and it's hard to get meat. We only gave you meat because you were injured and needed to be healed."
Yu Ke was a little confused.
From what the woman said, why did I feel like an outsider?
Thinking that she had already established herself as someone with amnesia, Yu Ke couldn't help but ask the woman about her identity and past.
The woman paused, then quickly resumed feeding, her expression normal as she said:
"I almost forgot that you don't even remember. I need to tell you about it."
Through the woman's narration, Yu Ke gradually learned about her past.
It turned out that the woman was Yu Ke's sister-in-law, named Feng Yan, and Yu Ke was the new daughter-in-law who had just married into the Wu family a week ago.
The head of the Wu family now is their mother-in-law, the old woman with a gloomy expression before.
Their father-in-law died of illness a long time ago, and they have only two sons. The eldest son is named Wu Baoguo, who married Feng Yan five years ago.
Yu Ke married the youngest son Wu Anbang a week ago.
Yu Ke hesitated and said, "I don't think I saw it today... um..."
She didn't know what to call her nominal husband.
Just call him husband, she can’t bring herself to say that.
After struggling for a while, she decided to call out his name directly, "I don't think I saw Anbang?"
Not to mention Wu Anbang, she hadn't seen a man since she opened her eyes today, and even the voices she heard were all women's.
What kind of husband is this? He didn’t even show up when his wife was injured?
Feng Yan quickly explained: "My younger brother went out to work and hasn't come back yet."
Yu Ke was even more confused.
How can we get married if the person doesn’t come back?
Feng Yan continued to explain: "Mom was worried that my younger brother was already grown up and hadn't found a wife yet, so she decided to marry him first."
"Then your family agreed, so they let you marry in first."
Yu Ke: “Is that so.”
It turns out that you can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later.
Feng Yan smiled and patted Yu Ke's hand, "Don't worry, I will be back soon and won't let you stay alone."
"Mom has already told him that when he comes back, he won't go out again and will stay at home. You two should live a good life from now on."
Yu Ke laughed dryly twice, lowered her head pretending to be shy, and did not say anything against her will.
She hoped that Anbang would not come back, or come back after she cleared the customs, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with him.
It's impossible to live like a couple!
Seeing her attitude, Feng Yan smiled even more deeply and made a few jokes.
Yu Ke quickly changed the subject and asked how she was injured.
Feng Yan: "Maybe the road is rough and difficult to walk on. You may have lost your footing and fell."
"We don't know the details. When we got there, we saw you lying on the ground with blood all over your face. You might be the only one who knows the reason, but you forgot it."
Yu Ke: “Oh oh.”
It seems that the cause of her fall is still a mystery.
After finishing the last mouthful of porridge, Yu Ke asked the last question.
"Sister-in-law, why is there a paper man under my bed?"
Feng Yan was shocked. "How did you find out?"
Yu Ke said the excuse she had thought of a long time ago, "I kicked the quilt to the ground, and when I picked it up I saw it, and I was shocked."
Judging from what Feng Yan said, this paper man shouldn't have been discovered?
Yu Ke couldn't understand.
It's really inappropriate to hide something that needs to be kept secret under the bed.
With such a large space under the bed, it will be discovered sooner or later.
Feng Yan also realized that what she said was inappropriate, and said:
"This is our custom here. I didn't tell you because I was worried you might be scared."
Yu Ke pursed her lips and did not agree.
The result is that she is even more scared!
"What is this custom?"
"Oh, it's just something passed down by the older generation. There's nothing much to say. You're recovering from your injuries now. It's a waste of your brain to listen to these things, so it's better not to listen to them."
Yu Ke asked a few more questions, but Feng Yan just avoided the question and refused to say anything.
Seeing her firm attitude, Yu Ke had no choice but to give up and raise her own objections.
"I put that paper man under the bed and I'm scared. I can't sleep well. Can you take it out?"
Feng Yan can use recuperation as an excuse, and so can Yu Ke.
As expected, Feng Yan, who had just used this excuse to shirk responsibility, was reluctant to refuse and said hesitantly:
"This was put in by mom. I can't make the decision. Let me ask for you."
"Okay, thank you for troubling my sister-in-law."
Feng Yan packed up the dishes and left. Not long after, the old woman, Yu Ke's mother-in-law, came over.
Yu Ke clenched her hands into fists nervously under the quilt.
The old woman was thin and shriveled, with wrinkles all over her face. It was obvious that she was dying.
But facing her, Yu Ke felt very pressured.
Especially when the old woman's eyes fell on Yu Ke, Yu Ke felt as if she was being stared at by some large beast, and the hairs on her body stood up.
My head is full of danger, danger, danger.
She resisted the urge to take the props and run away, and forced a smile.
The old woman snorted coldly and said nothing unexpectedly. She just bent down, dragged out the paper man, and then walked straight to the door with the paper man.
Yu Ke's heart, which had been lifted high, fell back to its original position.
Just when I felt relieved, I saw the old woman pause and suddenly turned around to look at Yu Ke.
Yu Ke almost choked on her breath and opened her eyes wide, alert.
It can’t be a counter-attack!
It turns out that was all nonsense.
The old woman said to Yu Ke calmly, "Anbang will be back in a few days. Be good and take the time to heal your wounds."
Yu Ke nodded her little head, as if to say "I will definitely listen to you".
The old woman snorted again, grabbed the paper mannequin and left the room.
After a long while, Yu Ke's stiff body returned to normal, and she couldn't help but express her feelings to System 5488.
[This old woman is so scary.] 】
System 5488: [Yes. 】
It waited for her to say something, but it waited for a long time and nothing came.
[You have nothing else to say?] 】
