When Yan Ruyu arrived outside Qijia Pharmacy, the old woman was still there.

She was in poor health, and it was freezing cold. She was shaky and seemed to be ready to fall to the ground at any time.

Therefore, people at the drug store did not dare to touch her at will.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many people coming and going at the door of the shop, and many pairs of eyes were watching, the Qi family would have dragged the old woman away long ago if they wanted to maintain their image.

Several guys took turns to come in and persuade me earnestly.

"My daughter-in-law said she was not feeling well and came over to check on her. Why did you insist on saying she wasn't feeling well?"

"It's true. She is a living person. Isn't it obvious whether she is here or not?"

"Then you must have hidden her!" The old woman was furious, gasping and holding on to the door frame.

"Why are we hiding her?" The man was helpless, "Why don't you go back first? If she really comes, we will tell him."

"Besides, your daughter-in-law is an ominous person. Who would hide her if she is too lucky?"

There was a guy next to me who was very quick-tongued and couldn't help complaining.

I'm going to say it all, but this old woman just can't get enough of it.

Upon hearing this, the old woman's face instantly became even more ugly: "What are you talking about? What kind of ominous person are you?"

"She..." The clerk wanted to say, but was stopped by the shopkeeper.

"To shut up!"

Yan Ruyu was outside the crowd, watching with cold eyes.

After all, guys are young, and they will talk quickly when they are irritable. But the more they are like this, the less they can solve the problem.

The shopkeeper personally came forward and spoke a lot to the old woman in a low voice. He also told her that it was freezing cold and asked her to go in and rest. She would wait and speak slowly.

Yan Ruyu signaled Beibei with her eyes, and Beibei stepped forward and supported the old woman who had been trying to get in.

"Why are you here? Let me find you easily," Beibei said with a smile. "Sister-in-law has gone back. The roads are slippery and it's hard to find you, so I came here."

As he spoke, he smiled at the shopkeeper and said: "I am the nephew of their neighbor in the backyard. My aunt has a good relationship with her and asked me to help find someone. If nothing happens, I will take her back."

The shopkeeper couldn't ask for more.

The old woman was very ill. She was forced to come here and her head was a little dizzy. She didn't listen carefully to anything else. She only remembered Beibei saying that her daughter-in-law had gone back.

Beibei helped her go home. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe followed as the crowd dispersed.

Their house is an ordinary house, just like the courtyard of ordinary people. Most of the yard is covered with snow. The elderly are seriously ill, and it is inconvenient for pregnant women to clear the snow. Only a walkable passage is cleared.

Helping her into the house, the old woman muttered: "Where is Mrs. Chen?"

Mrs. Chen, her daughter-in-law’s maiden name is Chen.

Yan Ruyu looked around the room. Although the decoration was simple and there were no valuable items, it was very clean.

The charcoal fire in the stove has come on, and there is a small homemade clothes hanger above the stove with a pair of cotton trousers, which seems to belong to the old woman.

The old woman's house was also well kept. The beds and bedding were clean and fluffy, without any dirt. There was a faint medicinal smell in the house, but it was not unpleasant.

Traces of life cannot deceive anyone. Mrs. Chen is very kind to her mother-in-law and takes very considerate care of her. She does not slack off at all because of her husband's absence and her mother-in-law's long-term illness, even though she herself is a pregnant woman and needs care.

Yan Ruyu thought of the scene when she saw Chen yesterday. She was thin but tough, a little inferior, but there was still light in her eyes.

She is a nice woman.

The old woman lay down, and Yan Ruyu asked Beibei to watch outside. Beibei was not idle, helping to light the charcoal fire and boil the hot water.

Yan Ruyu felt the old man's pulse.

Huo Changhe asked: "How?"

"It is true that he has been ill for a long time and is not in good health, but it is not an incurable disease. It may be that his health has been suffering for a long time, coupled with the impact of his son's affairs, it has become serious."

I remember Beibei said that this old man was alone with his son, so he must have had a difficult life.

Dissolve the pills in hot water and feed them to the old man. The room becomes warm again, and the old man gradually regains his consciousness.

"Where is my daughter-in-law?"

"We haven't found it yet," Yan Ruyu said softly, observing her expression, "When did she go out?"

The old woman was a little anxious: "I went out last night. She always waited for me to go to bed before she went to rest. I was already asleep, but for some reason, I woke up suddenly and saw that she was about to go out."

"What did she say?"

"She said she felt a little unwell and wanted to see a doctor. I couldn't help and was worried about her health, so I let her go. I waited for a long time, and I didn't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already dark. Liang, I found that she never came back, so I went to look for her."

The old woman was anxious and just wanted to find someone to talk to and express her restlessness at this time.

After I finished speaking, I remembered to ask: "Who are you?"

Yan Ruyu said: "I am Sister Chen's childhood friend. I haven't seen her for many years. I heard that she got married here. I was passing by and came to have a look. I heard outside the drug store that you were her mother-in-law, so I helped you back. "

The old woman grabbed Yan Ruyu, her eyes red: "Then please help me get her back."

Huo Changhe spoke slowly: "Old man, it's because she has your grandson in her belly, right?"

"No, because this child's life is too hard. When she was in her parents' home, her sister-in-law was not good to her and always bullied her. Her sister-in-law wanted to go back to her parents' home, but something happened and she said she was not a lucky person.

When he arrived at our home, this child was timid but kind and hard-working. He had a good relationship with my son, and I was very happy. But my son's whereabouts were unknown later, and some people said that she was ominous. What's so ominous about such a good woman?

My illness is caused by losing my health when I was young and getting angry because of my son's affairs. It is indeed more serious, but what does it have to do with her? Look at me, I am not dead from such an illness, I am clean, and my family is not in ruins, thanks to her.

There wasn't much food at home, and she, a pregnant woman, had to eat with me. She lost a lot of weight, how could I not know? But I..."

As she spoke, the old woman covered her face and started crying: "I was the one who dragged her down!"

Yan Ruyu's heart was filled with soreness. When she came to this other world, she saw many evil mothers-in-law who bullied their daughters-in-law. She thought that Mrs. Chen would be even more disliked by her husband's family because of her "unfortunate" reputation. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the case for this miserable mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. , see the most simple warmth.

Yan Ruyu patted the old woman's hand: "You don't have to be sad. Now that I know about this, I will find a way to find her. If there is anything else worth talking about, including your son's situation, tell me."

The old woman usually had no one to talk to and had been suppressed for too long. Seeing that Yan Ruyu spoke softly but firmly, and she was a close friend of Mrs. Chen, she had more trust in her.

"Speaking of my son, he is also a hard-working man. My family's conditions are not very good, and no one wants to marry him. Finally, someone came to help. I asked someone to find out, and they said that it was the girl's sister-in-law who asked her mother's family to make the match."

"As soon as I thought about it, I realized that my sister-in-law couldn't tolerate my sister-in-law."
