"Lai Yan, Lai Yan." At this time, Zhang Lai Fu's voice came from outside the house.

Zhang Laiyan knew that he was looking for her. Her eldest brother loved her the most. She curled her lips and said angrily, "If I'm not here, just treat me as if I'm dead."

The leaky door of the cowshed was pushed open and Zhang Lai Fu walked in. The small thatched hut suddenly seemed very crowded.

Zhang Laifu looked around the room, glanced at Zhang Laiyan several times, and then called out to the old woman in the corner, "Grandma."

Wang smiled but said nothing.

Zhang Laifu didn't say much. He just looked at his sister and scolded her gently, "Girl, what are you doing out here at night? Don't you know it's dangerous out there?"

Zhang Laiyan pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "But you all bullied me. I don't want to go back. I'm going to find someone to marry tomorrow so that I won't be disliked at home."

"Don't talk nonsense. Who dislikes you? You are just too willful."

Zhang Laifu pinched his brows in pain and said helplessly, "You bumped into your second sister-in-law and she knocked over the dish. Her hand is now scalded and blistered. Go back and apologize."

"I didn't mean to do that. It's her fault for being so stupid not to get out of the way."

Zhang Laiyan didn't care at all and angrily said to Zhang Laifu, "You are not allowed to go and pick up that little bitch Yuan Junyao. She will have to come back sooner or later."

Zhang Laifu said angrily, "Can't you change your outspokenness? She is your sister-in-law after all. It seems that slap in the face hasn't taught you a lesson yet."

Before, Zhang Lai Yan would never call Yuan Junyao a bitch in front of Zhang Lai Fu, but now she is really angry. Although Zhang Lai Fu protects his sister, he can't stand others calling his wife a bitch.

Zhang Laiyan said nothing more.

Wang in the corner advised earnestly, "Laifu, you should go and get Junyao back. As the saying goes, young couples are companions in old age, and husband and wife should also be of one mind!"

"Shut up, this is none of your business." Zhang Laiyan roared in disgust.

Wang closed her mouth, a look of sadness flashed across her old face, and finally she lowered her head silently.

Zhang Laifu frowned even tighter, and scolded coldly: "How can you talk to grandma like that? You are so disrespectful and outspoken. I will not care about you anymore."

Zhang Laiyan screamed twice and her breathing became rapid due to anger.

Zhang Lai Fu ignored her and went forward to help Wang up.

"Grandma, the floor is dirty. Go sit on the bed! I told you not to move to the cowshed, but you insisted on coming."

Wang quickly refused, "I, I'm fine squatting, don't worry about me."

But Zhang Lai Fu didn't listen to her and forced her to sit on the bed.

Zhang Laiyan gritted her teeth in disgust, but because Zhang Laifu was there, she didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang Laifu was very patient with his sister and asked, "Do you want to leave? Grandma, there's not enough room in one bed here."

It's okay for you to sit alone all night, but grandma, at her age, can't stand it."

"Don't worry about it."

Zhang Lai Yan was still angry, thinking that her eldest brother did not listen to her. When her two brothers were still married, the whole family would listen to her.

"Okay, then you stay here. I'll pick up Jun Yao tomorrow. If you like it here, I can help you move a bed over."

Zhang Laiyan felt a little aggrieved and tried hard to hold back her tears.

Zhang Laifu ignored her and said to Wang, "Grandma, please go back and stay for one night. There is no room for you to sleep here."

Wang waved her hand. "No need. Just make do with this for one night. I won't go back and cause more trouble. Just go and get Jun Yao back."

Zhang Lai Fu didn't force it and turned around and left.

After Zhang Lai Fu left, Zhang Lai Yan kept staring at the door for a long time without moving. When she saw that he was really gone, she burst into tears again.

"You all don't want me anymore, you don't care about me anymore, what's the point of me living?"

Wang said helplessly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother still loves you. Don't be so willful."

"I want you to stop talking. Go away. It stinks."

Zhang Laiyan reached out and pushed Wang off the bed.

"Ouch."

Wang was caught off guard and fell to the ground. The old woman's bones were already fragile, and this fall was even more severe. She lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

Zhang Laiyan looked at her indifferently, without any guilt or pity, but slowly lay down on the bed. Because of disgust, he didn't even take off his shoes.

Wang just lay on the ground. The muddy ground was cold and her body was in pain. She groaned in pain.

"Stop making noise! ​​Can't you let me sleep?" Zhang Lai Yan yelled impatiently.

Wang's lips trembled and she dared not scream anymore. She shed tears silently, her hunched body trembled, and her old face was full of relief.

She thought, let’s just die like this, it’s better to die, it’s better to die!

After one night.

Zhang Laiyan got up with a look of pain on her face. She was furious when she woke up that morning and cursed, "My back and waist are sore from sleeping on this crappy bed."

She rubbed her sore shoulders for a long time to relax.

Seeing Wang still lying on the ground, he curled his lips and kicked her in disgust.

"I'm hungry, get me something to eat." She hadn't eaten a single bite of food last night, and now she was woken up by hunger.

Wang didn't respond, so she kicked a few more times impatiently.

"Get up, why are you pretending to be dead? I'm starving."

It was midsummer now, and she didn't think it would be a big deal to sleep on the ground for a night, but she never thought that the old man on the ground was already seventy-five years old.

Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, Zhang Lai Yan's heart skipped a beat. He slowly got out of bed and kicked her hard a few more times, but there was still no response.

Her face turned pale in an instant. She carefully walked around to the other side and when she saw the old man's unclosed eyes and lifeless pupils, she screamed in fright. She stumbled back, ran out of the thatched hut, and ran home without stopping.

She now had only one thought in her mind.

Grandma died. She was the one who killed her. She murdered someone.

"Lai Yan, why are you so panicked so early in the morning?"

On the way, she met some early-rising villagers, but she didn't dare to pay any attention to them.

After running back home, Zhang Lai Fu was washing up in the front yard, Song Chunlan was busy in the kitchen, and the people in the second room had not gotten up yet.

Zhang Laifu saw her come back, but her face was terrified, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, big brother, wow..." Zhang Lai Yan burst into tears.

Song Chunlan walked out of the kitchen with a spatula and looked outside in confusion. Even Zhang Guicai came out from the main room.

"Why are you crying? What's wrong?" Zhang Lai Fu asked anxiously.

Zhang Laiyan panicked and cried, "Grandma is dead! Grandma is dead!"

"What?" Zhang Lai Fu's eyes widened, even Song Chunlan and Zhang Guicai were frightened.

Song Chunlan said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense."

"It's true, grandma is really dead." Zhang Laiyan was so scared that she was at a loss.

Song Chunlan hurriedly said, "Guicai, Laifu, go and take a look."

Zhang Lai Fu inexplicably thought of the scene of his grandmother squatting in the corner last night. He looked at his sister deeply and strode out.
