"Dead. Died of illness."

"She caught a cold a month ago, and the medicine didn't work, so she died."

Lin Shuangshuang sighed a little. The medical level in ancient times was so backward that a small cold could be fatal.

As expected, she guessed it right. If Xu Hui Niang hadn't died, there wouldn't have been this farce today.

She was also a poor woman who was sold to a brothel by her parents and met the wrong man.

"Where's the house in town?"

Zhang avoided Lin Shuangshuang's gaze, but still told the truth under Lin Shuangshuang's sharp gaze.

"Your brother owed a gambling debt, so he used it to pay it off."

Lin Shuangshuang sneered: "A dog will never change its nature of eating shit, why don't you gamble your life?"

"..."

Although Zhang was angry, she could only let her scold her.

Since her son's life is in someone else's hands, she dare not act arrogantly, let alone act like a mother.

"Shuang'er, Mom really has nowhere to go. Please have pity on Mom and take us in."

"You've made a lot of money now, so you don't lack for food. Mom doesn't eat much, and neither do the children."

"Your brother...your brother doesn't dare to eat too much."

"As long as you give us food to eat and a place to live, you can do whatever you want."

"It's winter, mother really can't leave. Yaozu has been frozen sick, and these children are dying..."

"Wuwuwu, mother knows that I have treated you badly in the past, but you are their aunt after all. Can you bear to watch these children freeze to death or starve to death?"

"All the mistakes are the adults' fault, and have nothing to do with the children."

"Mom, please, if it really doesn't work, I'll kneel down for you."

Zhang pretended to kneel down, but Lin Shuangshuang glared at her, and she was so scared that her legs bent and stiffened in mid-air.

"You want people to say I'm unfilial?"

"No no."

"If you really like kneeling, then I'll let you kneel as much as you want. Go to the village and kneel for three days and three nights, and I'll let your son go."

Zhang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shook her head frantically: "No more kneeling, no more kneeling."

What a joke! With her old bones, she would freeze to death if she kneeled for one night, let alone three days and three nights.

She said kneeling was just talk, she didn't mean to kneel.

"Since you don't want to kneel, then stand still."

Then Lin Shuangshuang said, "You want to eat and drink for free at my house, and want me to take care of you until the end of your life?"

Zhang naturally thought so. Not only did she want to eat and drink for free, and take care of her in her old age, she also wanted to take away everything from Lin Shuangshuang and give it to her son and grandson.

But now even if she was given a hundred courage she wouldn't dare to nod.

She was really afraid that Lin Shuangshuang would beat her son to death and make her mute. She really didn't dare to provoke such an evil spirit again.

"No, I don't mean that. In this world, there is no such thing as a daughter taking care of a child in his old age. That is the job of a son."

"Don't worry, your brother is responsible for your retirement. Mother won't let you take care of her."

"How does he support you?"

"Depending on his winnings from gambling to support you?"

"Or do you rely on him to sell you to a creditor after he loses the bet and let the creditor support you?"

"You..." Zhang's face was filled with shame and anger, but she had nothing to say.

Because she was telling the truth.

My son can’t carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, but he just loves to gamble.

He says that he relies on his son for support in his old age, but in fact, he is not reliable at all.

She is thankful that her son does not rely on his parents for support.

Maybe in the end she will have to go out to earn money to support her son, so she has to come and rely on her daughter.

But her daughter is also a tough person and she can't control her just because she wants.

As Zhang thought about it, she actually started to cry out of grievance. Oh, why was her life so miserable?

Yang curled her lips. Although Zhang didn't say anything, she understood what Zhang was thinking.

She is already a mother and a mother-in-law, how could she not understand this?

There's no point in feeling wronged. You reap what you sow.

If she hadn't been so ruthless, would she be so miserable now?

My daughter is so capable and filial. She even respects her mother-in-law. How can she not respect her own mother?

It's all her own fault, otherwise who would be living a better life than her now and would have been served by a group of maids and servants.

Live it!

Lin Shuangshuang was a little annoyed and didn't want to continue listening to Zhang's crying.

"do not Cry."

"Stay here tonight, and let the village chief arrange a place for you to stay tomorrow."

"The village doesn't support idlers. Find a job that you can do. The wages of two people can easily support a family."

"That's all I can do to help you. Don't push your luck."

"Don't come to visit me unless you have nothing to do. Just treat me as if I'm dead and take good care of your son and grandson."

Lin Shuangshuang stood up after she finished speaking: "Dong'er, arrange a guest room for them."

"Yes."

Dong'er looked at Zhang with hatred. Lin Shuangshuang said that one room was one room and it didn't matter how many people lived there.

"Miss Dong'er, can you give me some medicine for my injuries?"

Now Zhang spoke to Dong'er politely and didn't dare to put on airs anymore.

Dong'er said unhappily, "No."

Dong'er went out after saying this and locked the door from the outside, fearing that they would come out and do something bad.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Rouer dared to cry out loud: "Grandma, let's go, Aunt is so scary."

"I don't want to live in my aunt's house."

Snapped!

Zhang took out all her anger on her granddaughter. She didn't dare to hit her daughter, but she beat her granddaughter to death.

"Cry, cry, cry, you useless thing, all you do is cry."

"You have a beautiful idea, but you want to live here but they won't let you."

"Didn't you hear what she said? You can only stay for one night. After tonight, you can move into the thatched cottage."

Lin Rouer was beaten so badly that she dared not cry or speak anymore. She could only stand aside feeling aggrieved.

Zhang saw that there was only a bed and a quilt in the room, so she let Lin Rouer lie down in it.

Lin Rouer could only lie down obediently. She knew that her grandma didn't feel sorry for her, but wanted her to go in to warm the bed.

The quilt was cold in winter, so she had to warm the bed for her brothers before letting them sleep in it.

Even if Kang'er and Jian'er are fools, they are still precious grandsons in their grandmother's eyes.

Not to mention Yaozu, he is the treasure of the whole family.

And she is just a weed that no one loves or cares for.

Lin Rouer lay in bed, feeling more and more aggrieved and sad. She missed her mother.

If only mother were still alive, she wouldn’t let grandmother and brother bully her like this.

Zhang felt that the time was about up. She turned around and saw that Lin Rouer had cried so much that her pillow was wet.

I pulled her out of bed and gave her another beating, finally venting all the humiliation I had endured tonight.

"Kang'er, Jian'er, my dear grandson, go to bed quickly."

Zhang coaxed her two silly grandsons to go to bed, and she herself sat comfortably in the quilt to keep warm.

But she had no intention of sleeping as she was worried about her son's injuries.

He had just been beaten so badly. If he were to be locked up in the woodshed and frozen all night, I wonder if he would still be alive when he woke up tomorrow morning.

No, I must find a way to get some medicine to my son.

But the door was locked outwards, so she couldn't get out at all. Even if she went out, she had no medicine.

"come here."

Lin Rouer looked at the cruelty in Zhang's eyes and was so frightened that she trembled all over and didn't dare to move forward.
