She walked up to the dressing mirror and saw that her face was already red and swollen. How could she possibly go out looking like this?

But given her father's condition, she couldn't help but ask.

With no other option, Wang Wanlian applied some makeup to her face to cover up the wounds.

Then he hurriedly went out again.

As Wang Wanlian passed by Xu's Pian'er Tang (a type of soup), she glanced inside and saw that it was bustling with people.

One look and you know you'll make a lot of money.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Wang Wanlian's eyes.

Afraid that someone would see her like this, she hurriedly headed back towards the tavern.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard heart-wrenching cries coming from inside.

Wang Wanlian was so frightened that her legs went numb. She went to the back and saw that Wang Erma was lying motionless, spitting blood.

Xu's mother hugged him and cried.

"How is my dad?!"

Wang Wanlian asked.

"I don't know, he just died like that!"

Xu's mother kept crying, even though this man was usually of little use.

But he was also my pillar of support, and now that he's gone, I'm all alone.

Wang Wanlian burst into tears and immediately got up to report to the authorities.

But no one at the yamen took his case, because no one hit him; he injured himself by falling.

In short, Wang Wanlian was very skeptical. Xu's mother had just been beaten, and then her own father was injured in a fall.

Now he's dead, and there's no way to report it to the authorities. Li Bing is also an unreliable person.

Wang Wanlian had no choice but to go back and handle Wang Erma's funeral arrangements.

Wang Erma is dead, and Xu's mother is a useless person.

The tavern wasn't very profitable, and Wang Wanlian had never been there; she preferred to stay at home.

Xu's mother stayed at home alone. At first, Wang Wanlian would go to see her, but later she stopped going altogether.

Her leg was broken, and she had nothing to eat.

Two days later, she finally couldn't bear it any longer, climbed off the bed, crawled all the way to the door, and fainted.

Someone went to Xu's Pian'er Tang (a type of soup), and Xu Qingyou walked to the door.

“Go and call Wang Wanlian; that’s her daughter.”

After saying that, Xu Qingyou went back inside.

At this time, someone carried Xu's mother to Wang Wanlian's house.

After knocking on the door for a long time, Wang Wanlian finally came out.

"Wang Wanlian, your mother has fainted!"

The newcomer spoke up.

"What mother? My mother died a long time ago, and my father is dead too. I have no relatives now!"

After saying that, Wang Wanlian slammed the door shut again.

The men carrying Xu's mother looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally carried her back to the tavern.

But just as they arrived at the tavern, before they could even carry the person inside, they were stopped.

"We've already rented this place, so don't bring this person in!"

A fat woman stood in front of the door.

"How could that be? This place is her home!"

The kind neighbors spoke up for Xu's mother.

"This little tavern was part of Wang Wanlian's dowry. We rented it out, planning to open a coffin shop!"

After saying that, the plump woman swayed back into the house and slammed the door shut.
