The three mother and daughter packed up and met Zhang Lai Fu as soon as they went out.

Zhang Laifu nodded and called out, "Mother-in-law."

Qi Meixiang was very happy to see him coming to pick up her daughter, but she didn't show it on her face. She said in a cold tone, "Come on, come in."

Yuan Junling called out politely, "Brother-in-law."

Yuan Junyao said nothing, but glared at him coldly. Naturally, she disliked him anyway.

Zhang Laifu had no intention of entering the house. He was in heavy mourning and could not enter someone else's house. He quickly said, "Mother-in-law, I won't go in. I came to take Jun Yao home for something important."

Qi Meixiang said with a bad face: "Why don't you even come in if it's something important?"

Zhang Laifu said, "Grandma is gone. I'm taking Junyao home to see her for the last time."

The news shocked all three of them.

Qi Meixiang thought that the old man was already over seventy years old, and it was normal for him to pass away at that age, so she didn't think much about it and just said, "That means he can't enter the door. Jun Yao, you should go back quickly."

Yuan Junyao stared at Zhang Laifu with a gloomy expression and asked, "Why did grandma die out of nowhere?"

Her grandmother passed away on the third day after she left home.

This was obviously abnormal because she had seen her grandmother once before returning to her parents' home. She was clearly in good health and showed no signs of death.

But this kind of thing is really hard to say, but she has to find out.

Zhang Laifu looked uneasy and said vaguely, "This is a long story. Come back with me first. I'll tell you more on the way."

Yuan Junyao stared at him intently, not missing the strange look on his face, but she didn't ask any further questions. She just turned around and said to Qi Meixiang, "Mom, I'll go back first."

Qi Meixiang said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, I'll get you something."

Yuan Junyao frowned and said, "No, no need to take it."

But before she could finish, Qi Meixiang went into the house.

She wanted to take the remaining meat, rice, and some eggs back to her daughter.

Yuan Junyao didn't want to take it, so she didn't wait here. She called Zhang Lai Fu and left.

So when Qi Meixiang packed her things and came out, the two had already walked away.

On the way back, Yuan Junyao asked, "Who discovered that grandma had passed away?"

Zhang Laifu thought for a moment and said, "It was Laiyan. Grandma said she wasn't feeling well yesterday, so Laiyan stayed in the cowshed overnight. Grandma passed away peacefully in the middle of the night."

Yuan Junyao narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed in them.

She didn't believe what Zhang Lai Fu said, because it was impossible for Zhang Lai Yan to live in the cowshed just because her grandmother was unwell.

How could she be so filial?

If she was the one who killed grandma, that would be completely believable.

But what Zhang Lai Fu said was definitely half true and half false, so it must have been Zhang Lai Yan who discovered his grandmother, and even his grandmother's death was inseparable from Zhang Lai Yan.

Doesn’t she understand the Zhang family?

I don't go to the bullpen once a year or two.

If grandma died of old age, it would be impossible for her to be discovered by those people from the Zhang family. It would be more likely that she was discovered by the villagers living nearby.

They are all neighbors. If an elderly person living alone has not gone out for a few days, they will definitely notice something unusual.

Zhang Lai Fu secretly looked at Yuan Junyao several times. He didn't know what she was thinking, but her expression gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Ever since she was rescued from hanging herself last time, she seemed like a completely different person.

Zhang Laifu thought for a moment and said, "Grandma was still thinking about you before she passed away. She asked me to take you back home."

Only then did Zhang Lai Fu realize that Yuan Junyao seemed to be the only one who visited her grandmother almost every day.

Yuan Junyao said coldly, "Grandma isn't nagging me, she's worried about you. She's only nagging me because I'm her granddaughter-in-law."

Zhang Lai Fu looked ashamed, lowered his head and said nothing more.

Yuan Junyao's eyes turned slightly, and she asked subtly, "How's things been these past few days since I went back to my parents' home? Is my mother-in-law doing all the housework? Has my sister-in-law helped out?"

Zhang Lai Fu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the chaos at home these days.

Only then did he realize that although Yuan Junyao had been married for less than a month, she was able to keep all the household affairs in order.

He said helplessly, "My sister-in-law is not as capable as you. She needs mother's help with many things. The house has been a mess these days when you were away."

Yuan Junyao sneered inwardly and said with a tired face, "I am also a human being. It would be very tiring for me to do all this alone. If my mother could help me when I was doing this, I wouldn't have to fall asleep every day because of exhaustion."

Zhang Lai Fu pondered the meaning of her words carefully, thinking that she had indeed gone to bed with him a month after their marriage.

And during this month, his mother and siblings really never helped with anything.

Yuan Junyao asked again, "What about Lai Yan? Was she still angry when I slapped her that day? I was really mad at her, and you heard it yourself.

I am her sister-in-law after all, and she calls me by my first name without any respect, and she calls me a bitch all the time. I really don’t know how I have offended her.”

Zhang Laifu sighed and said, "Laiyan was ignorant. I was also wrong that night. I should have protected you."

Yuan Junyao didn't respond, which gave Zhang Lai Fu the feeling that she was just throwing a tantrum.

Zhang Lai Fu tried to grab her hand, but Yuan Junyao dodged it.

He had no choice but to give up, and the two of them walked side by side towards home.

Zhang Laifu glanced at her from time to time. He didn't want to remain silent. He thought it would be better to talk to her like before. He thought for a while and said, "You will have to work hard for a while when you go home. Your sister-in-law's hand is injured. I will ask mother to help you more."

Yuan Junyao grasped the key point in his words and asked with feigned concern, "What happened to your sister-in-law's hand?"

Zhang Laifu said angrily, "It's Lai Yan all over again. She got angry for no reason. When I ran out of the house, my sister-in-law was just coming out of the kitchen with vegetables. Lai Yan bumped into her and burned her hands."

Yuan Junyao pretended to be surprised and asked, "When did it happen? Was the burn serious?"

Zhang Laifu shook his head and said, "Last night, I didn't know if it was serious or not, I didn't pay attention, and my sister-in-law and the second brother had a quarrel because of it. You are right, Lai Yan is indeed too much of a cover-up for the slip of the tongue, and too arrogant. She needs to be taught a lesson."

Yuan Junyao didn't say anything else and fell into deep thought.

Grandma passed away last night, and Zhang Lai Yan went to stay with grandma last night. These things also happened last night. If you put them together, it makes sense.

At that time, Yin Sanniang was probably busy in the kitchen, while the others were sitting in the main room eating dinner.

This was the case when the original owner was at home.

Zhang Laiyan would definitely not run away in a rage for no reason. She probably had an argument with him.

Zhang Laiyan had a very bad temper. After she ran out in anger, she bumped into Yin Sanniang. She got into trouble and had a conflict, so she couldn't bring herself to go back home.

Zhang Laiyan seems to be fearless, but in fact he is just a paper tiger.
