Chapter 91: One Cry, Two Rages, Three Hangings

  Today's first update is here, on the last day of June, Weak Color needs everyone's pink support.

  "What?" Hearing that Zhao had hanged himself, Lian Shouli's palm stopped in mid-air.

  Zhou Shi, Lian Xiuer and Lian Ye'er also looked at Lian Man'er, as if they hadn't heard clearly what she was saying.

  "Third Auntie has hung herself!" Lian Mian'er exclaimed with a deliberately anxious face.

  "Ah!" Lian Shouli shouted loudly and didn't even bother to greet Madame Zhou, rushing out in big strides.

  Lian Ye'er also ran out, running to the door and then turning back, rushing towards Zhou Shi and saying, "If my mother dies, it's all because of you."

  Zhou's body shook for a moment, and he didn't speak back for a while, nor did he know whether it was the hatred in Lian Ye'er's eyes or the news of Zhao's hanging that shocked him.

  Lian Man'er hastily pulled out Lian Ye'er and rushed towards the west wing of the house.

  Lian Shouli rushed into the west wing in a few steps, shouting "Children's mother, Ye Er's mother."

  "In the house." Zhang heard and hastily called out from inside the house.

  Lian Shouli hastily lifted the door curtain and rushed in.

  In the room, although Zhao had washed her face, her eyes were still red and she couldn't stop crying. Zhang sat opposite her, trying to comfort her with words.

  "Son of a... You, you didn't..." Lian Shouli stood there, staring blankly at Zhao Shi.

  "What's wrong with me?" Zhao asked in confusion.

  "Third Uncle, what's wrong with you? Your face has turned white and you're sweating so much. What happened?" Zhang Shi asked, startled to see Lian Shouli's pale face.

  "Man'er said...what did she say..." Lian Shouli's soul was slightly calmed, and he raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat that had broken out on his forehead.

  "What did Man Er say?" Zhang asked.

  At this time, Lian Man had already brought back Lian Ye.

  "Third Uncle, I'm sorry." Lian Man'er hastily said with a smile. "If I hadn't spoken up like that, your slap would have landed on Yezi's face for sure."

  "Is it fake? It scared me to death." Lian Shouli sat down on the edge of the kang with a thud, saying honestly. He was really frightened. His legs were now soft.

  "What did you say, Lian Mian'er?" asked Zhang Shi.

  "I said Third Aunt hanged herself." Seeing Lian Sheng's reaction, Lian Mian'er felt a bit embarrassed.

  "You child, is this something to be said casually? Three. Third sister-in-law, you shouldn't speak carelessly in front of the children at home, don't take it to heart." Zhang Shi hurriedly apologized and also made excuses for Lian Mian'er.

  "Man Er is for our own good." Lian Ye had already thrown herself into Madam Zhao's arms, and now she lifted her head to sob.

  "I'm also helpless," said Lian Man'er. This time, Zhou Shi seemed to have made up her mind and was determined to make Lian Shouli take revenge on Lian Ye'er for her sake, thereby establishing her authority. However, Lian Shouli was too honest, and if he used a gentle excuse, it would be impossible to resolve the awkward situation.

  "...just right to scare me to death." Lian Man'er said again.

  Teasing the daughter-in-law is one thing, but actually driving her to death is another matter altogether. The expression on Madame Zhou's face when she heard that Madame Zhao had hanged herself just now proved that Lian'er's thoughts were not wrong.

  "Thanks to Man Er's quick thinking." Lian Shouli also came to his senses at this time and smiled foolishly.

  "What happened today is our fault for dragging you into this." said Zhang.

  "What's related or unrelated, none of them are outsiders." Lian Shouli said.

  "It's none of your business, it's just that Mother dislikes me..." Zhao said, crying. "This belly of mine is useless, I also wanted to give birth to a son..."

  "Third sister, don't cry." Zhang Shi consoled Zhao Shi.

  "My mother still wants me to rest." Zhao cried, "Fourth brother and sister, the bitterness in my heart, I can't even go back to my mother's house. What can I do..."

  Zhao's biological mother had passed away early on, and his father later married a stepmother. Zhao's stepmother brought with her a daughter from a previous marriage, and later gave birth to a son. Two years ago, Zhao's father also passed away, and the stepmother treated Zhao as nothing more than a mere formality, not even bothering to maintain any relationship with him. As a result, Zhao was essentially without a maternal family, yet did not fall under the category of being an orphan.

  Zhao's heart disease is simple, because she has no son, no confidence, afraid of being divorced, and nowhere to go.

  "My daughter just said it, but Father won't agree," Lian Shouli said.

  "Brother San Bo, this matter depends on you." said Zhang Shi.

  "After all these years, no son is just no son, I've accepted it. We're doing fine as we are, what's there to be afraid of?" Lian Shouli said.

  "Third Auntie, look, Third Uncle treats you well, and you still have Yezi, isn't that a good life? Just ignore what Nai said, it's all just wind in your ear."

  ………

  "She also learned to make trouble and even hanged herself."

  In the upper room, Madame Chou sat on the kang, fuming with anger.

  Although she said so, Zhou Shi was not convinced in her heart. If it were He Shi, Zhou Shi would definitely not believe it. But Zhao Shi was different. Zhao Shi had always been honest, all these years, when encountering grievances, he would endure, at most cry a little, and never make trouble, let alone hang himself to death. Zhou Shi knew very well that those who always talked about dying were unlikely to really seek death, but someone like Zhao Shi might quietly hang himself without saying a word.

  "Xiu Er," Mrs. Zhou called out to Lian Xiu Er, "go take a look and see what's wrong with your third aunt."

  …………

  West Wing, everyone was comforting Zhao's family.

  "Old aunt, what are you doing here?" Xiaowu suddenly shouted loudly outside the window.

  Is Lian Xiuer over? What did she come here for?

  Lian Man'er's eyes lit up and she hastily walked over to Zhao Shi's side, lowering her voice to say: "Third Auntie, you should lie down quickly."

  "What are you doing, Lianmeng?" Zhao looked at Lianmeng, not understanding what she was up to.

  Lian Man'er didn't say a word and helped Zhao Shi lie down on the kang.

  "Shh, don't speak." Lian Man'er hastily said, and pulled Lian Ye'er again, "Ye'er, cry, the louder the better."

  This opportunity must be used to scare the wits out of Zhou Shi, so that she will never dare speak ill of Zhao Shi again. Lian Man'er hastily whispered two sentences into Lian Ye'er's ear.

  Lian Ye's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded heavily towards Lian Man before really throwing herself onto Zhao's body and bursting into tears.

  "Mother, mother, don't leave me behind."

  "Third Uncle, if you don't want Third Aunt to be divorced, then you must listen to me first." Lian Man'er said to Lian Shouli.

  Lian Man'er had just finished arranging things when Lian Xiu'er lifted the curtain and walked in from outside, followed closely by Xiao Qi, who also winked at Lian Man'er.

  "Third Aunt, what's wrong? Mother wants to talk to her." Lian Xiuer's face turned dark.

  No one paid attention to Lianxiu'er, everyone surrounded Zhao Shi.

  "Damn it, what's wrong with you?" Lian Shouli hugged his head and squatted on the ground.

  Is Zhao really seeking death?

  Lian Xiuer took two steps forward, because Lian Ye was clinging to Zhao's body, and Zhang Shi and Lian Man'er were blocking her way. She couldn't see Zhao's face, only that he was lying there stiffly, as if he had really stopped breathing.

  Zhao is really dead. Otherwise, Lian Shu would not be so grief-stricken, and neither would Lian Ye's crying be just for show.

  "Xiao Qi, hurry up and call Dad and them to come help." Lian Man'er shouted at Xiao Qi.

  Lian Xiuer was somewhat flustered and didn't say a word, hastily turning around to go upstairs to inform Zhou Shi.

  Zhao lay there somewhat stiffly and muttered: "Is... is this okay?"

  In the upper house, Madame Zhou heard Lian Xiuer's words,

  "Xiu Er, did you see it clearly?" asked Zhou Shi to Lian Xiu Er.

  "Mother, Third Sister is lying there motionless, I think she's stopped breathing." Lian Xiuer said.

  "Really, is he really dead?" Upon hearing Lian Xiu'er's words, Zhou Shi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

  "My goodness gracious." The Zhou family's eyes rolled back and they fell straight backwards.
