After what happened today, Jia Zhang felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart.

She recalled that she had impulsively hit the Lin family's dog, and now she had to pay fifty yuan in compensation that had not even warmed up yet.

She had to write an IOU for the remaining fifty yuan, and she felt heartbroken and regretful. As she walked home, she kept blaming herself in her heart, wondering why she was so impulsive.

After returning home, Jia Zhang sat down on a chair, her face full of fatigue and helplessness.

Seeing that his grandmother looked unwell, Banggeng didn't dare to clamor for meat anymore. He looked at his grandmother cautiously, not knowing what had happened.

When Jia Zhang looked at the banggeng, she felt distressed again. That money could buy a lot of meat. If she used that money to buy meat for her eldest grandson, the wound might heal faster.

Now she had to pay it back to someone else. The thought of this made her feel so uncomfortable that she simply took off her shoes and lay down on the kang.

Qin Huairu rarely saw Jia Zhangshi looking like a defeated rooster, so she asked, "Mom, what happened?"

Jia Zhang recounted what had happened. Qin Huairu felt helpless. She knew she was in the wrong, but she also felt that Lin Donglai had gone too far.

So he said softly, "Mom, you are indeed wrong in this matter. You should avoid causing trouble in the future. We can't afford to offend the Lin family."

Although Jia Zhang knew that what Qin Huairu said made sense, what she said was: "Do you think I don't know? Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to lose her temper again, Qin Huairu quietly rolled her eyes at her, walked out without saying a word, and secretly vowed in her heart that she would never talk to her again.

After dinner was ready that day, Jia Zhang was so panicked that she didn't sit down to eat at the table right away. She lay on the kang without saying a word.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu had no choice but to ask Xiaodang to invite her to the outer room for dinner, but after a while, Xiaodang came out with a wronged look on his face:

"Mom, I talked to grandma, but she ignored me."

Bang Geng sat at the table, ate a steamed bread, and then a bowl of corn paste. He wiped his mouth and said to Qin Huairu:

"Mom, let me go call grandma. She listens to me the most. You just wait and see." After saying that, he limped into the inner room.

When Jia Zhang heard the voice of her eldest grandson, she opened her eyes and glanced at him, then closed her eyes again and told Banggeng that she was not hungry and he should not worry about her.

There was so little space in the room, and Qin Huairu and her two daughters were sitting at the table outside without saying anything, so they could naturally hear clearly what was said in the inner room.

So Qin Huairu signaled to her two daughters to eat first and not wait for Jia Zhangshi. Only then did the two maids dare to pick up their chopsticks.

Qin Huairu sighed when she saw this. Her mother-in-law's requirements and attitudes towards her two daughters and eldest son were very different.

The two little girls would never dare to pick up their chopsticks to eat unless the adults gave them the order, but Banggeng, on the contrary, did whatever he wanted.

Banggeng failed to persuade Jia Zhang to get up and eat in the inner room, so he had to limp back to the outer room.

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng and shook her head helplessly, then continued to eat in silence.

After finishing the meal, Qin Huairu cleaned up the dishes and went to the inner room. Looking at Jia Zhang who was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed and sulking, she said softly:

"Mom, please eat something. Don't starve yourself." Jia Zhang snorted and turned her head away, ignoring Qin Huairu.

That night, Jia Zhang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about the fifty yuan she had to pay. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more stuffy she felt in her chest.

In the second half of the night, Jia Zhang suddenly felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing. She struggled to get up and call for help, but found that she was powerless all over.

That night, Banggeng slept with her on the kang in the inner room, but unfortunately the boy was sleeping like a pig, snoring loudly.

He didn't even turn over, let alone hear any noise coming from grandma on the other side of the kang.

Qin Huairu has to be the one to take care of things at critical moments. After all, she is a mother and is used to paying attention to the children's movements at night, for fear that they will wet the bed or encounter any accidents.

Just when she was half asleep, she suddenly heard an unusual noise coming from the inner room.

She was startled and quickly stood up, running inside without even bothering to put on her shoes.

I saw that my mother-in-law's face was as pale as a piece of white paper, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to her face.

This scared her. After calming down, she quickly called Banggeng and her two daughters.

After Banggeng was woken up, he was also panicked when he saw his grandmother like this, with his eyes wide open, at a loss as to what to do.

Qin Huairu told Banggeng: "Banggeng, you are the older brother, you stay home and take good care of the two younger sisters. I will go find someone to help rescue grandma."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bang Geng opened his mouth and was about to howl, but Qin Huairu scolded him, "Don't cry," and he finally behaved himself.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly ran towards the yard, and the first thing she ran to was Yi Zhonghai's house who lived in the front yard.

"Uncle, please get up and help me, my mother-in-law is in trouble!"

With the knock on the door and Qin Huairu's crying voice, uncle Yi Zhonghai and aunt Yi Zhonghai were instantly awakened.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door. Seeing Qin Huairu's face full of anxiety and tears, his heart tightened: "Huairu, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened to your mother-in-law?"

Qin Huairu choked up and said, "Uncle, my mother-in-law is pale and sweating. I don't know what's wrong. Please help me find a few people to take her to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai took action immediately. He asked Qin Huairu to go back and look after Jia Zhang, while he went to wake up several neighbors in the middle courtyard and the back yard.

After a while, several enthusiastic neighbors rushed to Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai briefly explained the situation. Without saying a word, everyone followed Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu to the Jia family.

Someone borrowed a cart, and several people carefully lifted Jia Zhang onto the cart and quickly rushed to the hospital.

Along the way, Qin Huairu felt like there were two little people fighting in her heart, one hoping that her mother-in-law would be fine, and the other hoping the opposite.

After all, she had been living under the tyranny of Jia Zhang since the year she got married. If something really happened to her, she would probably have an easier life with her three children.

After an intense examination at the hospital, the doctor told Qin Huairu that Jia Zhang's physical discomfort was caused by anger and high blood pressure.

There were no other major problems, so he prescribed some medicine and asked her to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.

Qin Huairu felt conflicted when she heard the news. Looking at Jia Zhang lying on the hospital bed, she felt helpless.

The family was already living a tight life, and now Jia Zhang's examination fees and hospitalization are a considerable expense, which is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
