Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Chapter 141 Chen Yuzhu commits suicide

I followed her all the way to the village. It was already late at night. I saw Chen Yuzhu sitting by a stone on the side of the road to rest from afar. Her face was pale and she looked very weak.

How can the body withstand such fatigue?

Jiang Ningwan was walking forward when suddenly an old woman appeared in front of her, cursing as she walked towards Chen Yuzhu.

"You lazy thing, you haven't come back to cook dinner yet after dark. Are you just slacking off here? My son is away at school, and you dare to disrespect your mother-in-law, right?"

Chen Yuzhu's face turned pale, her head felt dizzy, and she was unable to get up. "Mom..."

Before he could finish his words, the old woman slapped him in the face.

He said viciously: "Go back and cook quickly, do you want to starve me to death?"

Jiang Ningwan's palms tightened, but seeing that Chen Yuzhu didn't react, she forced herself to stand up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and cook."

The old woman looked strong and healthy, with no flesh on her cheeks. Her triangular eyes were gleaming with brilliance, and her thin lips were sharp and mean. She looked like a vicious person who was not to be messed with.

He glared at Chen Yuzhu with his eyes slanted, as if he wanted to eat her up, and grabbed Chen Yuzhu's arm fiercely.

"Come on, why are you dawdling!"

Chen Yuzhu felt pain, but she just touched her arm and silently quickened her pace.

Seeing her swaying, Jiang Ningwan felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, he fell down after taking a few steps.

The old woman was startled and kicked Chen Yuzhu impatiently, "Stop pretending to be dead! Get up quickly!"

Seeing that Chen Yuzhu didn't move, the old woman picked up a branch and hit Chen Yuzhu hard.

"Get up quickly!"

Jiang Ningwan rushed forward angrily and pushed the old woman away. "She fainted, are you blind?"

The old woman staggered a few steps after being pushed. She glared at her angrily, rolled up her sleeves and put her hands on her hips. "Who are you? I'm teaching my daughter-in-law a lesson. What's it to you?"

Jiang Ningwan squatted down and took Chen Yuzhu's pulse. She was in great physical condition. Although she looked tall, she was actually weak and damp.

"She is very ill and needs to see a doctor."

Jiang Ningwan took out the silver needle and was about to give acupuncture to stabilize the patient's condition.

But the old woman pushed her away and said, "Stop!"

"We don't have money for medical treatment. We won't treat you! We won't treat you! Don't try to extort money from you by giving you an injection!"

Jiang Ningwan looked at her in shock. "Do you have a conscience? She's seriously ill now. If she doesn't get treatment, she'll die!"

The old woman's eyes were still sharp and indifferent. She snorted coldly: "Poor people are just worthless lives."

"If she dies, then it's just her bad luck."

Jiang Ningwan pushed her away and tried to force the acupuncture, but the old woman started yelling, "I didn't ask you to treat me! If anything happens to my daughter-in-law, you'll be held responsible!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked up and glared at her angrily.

After acupuncture, he carried Chen Yuzhu on his back and went to Kyoto City.

When he was sent to Huichuntang, it was already the Si hour.

After treatment and medication, Chen Yuzhu slowly woke up. Jiang Ningwan prepared some food for her. Chen Yuzhu smelled the delicious food and her stomach growled. She licked her cracked lips and looked away.

"Doctor, I don't have money to see a doctor, so I can only pay for the medicine." Chen Yuzhu took out a few coins from her pocket.

"No charge. You fainted because you were overworked and didn't eat. Why don't you eat first?"

Chen Yuzhu showed a happy smile on her face, but waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, doctor, but I have to go home and cook for my mother-in-law, so I won't eat."

She propped herself up and was about to leave.

Jiang Ningwan angrily pulled her back and sat her down. "Are you willing to give up your life for a family like that?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuzhu was slightly surprised, "How did you know..."

But then she explained, "Although my mother-in-law is a bit tricky, Yuanlang is very kind to me."

Thinking of what Li Jingyuan had done behind her back, Jiang Ningwan became furious.

"How has he been good to you? Did he make you work so hard to earn money to support the family? Did he let your mother-in-law bully you like that? Or did he make you have an abortion?"

Chen Yuzhu's face turned ugly, and she defended herself, "Yuanlang is studying for the imperial examination, and he's also doing it for our future."

"Besides, he gives me one ounce of silver every month."

Jiang Ningwan was surprised, "You were sent away for just one ounce of silver?"

Obviously, this tael of silver was not for her own use, she also had to support her family.

Looking at that shrewd and mean old lady, you can tell that most of the silver was spent on her.

Chen Yuzhu frowned, feeling a little angry and a little defensive.

"I don't know you, why are you telling me so much? Seeing that you are dressed richly, I guess you are not interested in Yuanlang, right?"

Jiang Ningwan was angry and helpless.

Thinking that she had also been deceived by Li Jingyuan, he told her: "Your husband has rented a house in Kyoto City to study, but he has a beautiful woman to accompany him every night."

"I really can't bear to see you being deceived by such a beast. I kindly advise you to leave him as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuzhu's face changed drastically.

"No, I don't believe it."

"Yuanlang is very good to me."

"He is gentle and considerate. Others make fun of my figure, but he is the only one who doesn't despise me."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sigh. She wanted to tell her what Li Jingyuan had said that night, but she was too disgusted to say it.

"I know where Li Jingyuan lives. You can find out by yourself if you go and see for yourself."

But Chen Yuzhu was firm, "I won't go. I trust Yuanlang."

"No matter what your purpose is, please stop slandering Yuanlang."

After saying this, Chen Yuzhu left a few coins and left Huichun Hall.

Doctor Hong witnessed everything and said regretfully, "You can't persuade me even if I tell you."

Jiang Ningwan frowned and sighed, "She just doesn't know Li Jingyuan's true face."

After thinking for a moment, she wrote a note: Li Jingyuan lives at No. 32 Qingping Lane.

When she got to the street, she asked a little beggar to help deliver it to Chen Yuzhu.

Although Chen Yuzhu's attitude was so firm, after hearing what she just said, there must be doubts in her heart.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, the desire to find out the truth will become lingering.

Give her the address and it's up to her whether to go or not.

……

It was late at night, so Jiang Ningwan stayed in Huichun Hall.

Around midnight, there was a sudden banging on the door outside the clinic. "General Jiang, something's wrong! Something's wrong!"

Jiang Ningwan suddenly woke up and stood up.

Hurrying to open the door.

Outside the door, the little beggar was extremely anxious. "General Jiang, that Chen Yuzhu went to Qingping Lane in the middle of the night, had a quarrel with someone there, and ran away crying."

"She looks like she might commit suicide."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's expression changed, "Where did she run to?"

"there!"

Jiang Ningwan went over immediately.

Searched all the way.

The streets were empty, not a single person in sight.

Just as I was about to go to the next street to look for him, I suddenly saw a figure jumping into the well in the darkness.

"Chen Yuzhu!" Jiang Ningwan scolded hurriedly.

Rushing over, he saw that Chen Yuzhu had fallen into the well, without even a sign of struggle.

Jiang Ningwan immediately jumped into the well to save people.

Fortunately, Chen Yuzhu was still breathing when she was rescued. She woke up after spitting out a few mouthfuls of water, but then closed her eyes in despair.

The voice choked: "Why did you save me? What else can I do except die..."

Thinking of what she saw tonight, her heart was broken. Her husband, who used to be gentle and considerate, threatened her fiercely: If you dare to spread this, I will divorce you.

She felt like the sky was falling.

I don’t know what the meaning of living is.

At this moment, a cold and firm voice came -

"He Li, follow me from now on."
