Chapter 286: Two people from the Shen family died in one attack
Mother Shen thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud, especially in the middle of the night, when she felt so depressed that she could hardly breathe.
Mother Shen grabbed Shen Zuxiong's sleeve and pulled it slightly. As there were tears in her eyes, Shen Zuxiong thought she must be feeling unwell.
"Mom, you're feeling really sick, right? Just wait, Shen Dali and his family will be here soon and will take you to Wenzhu County to see a doctor."
After receiving the news that Shen's mother was dying, Shen Qingzhou and his family rushed over. Lin Ting looked and saw that Shen's mother was still fine.
"Lin Ting, you know medicine. Come and take a look at my mother. What's wrong with her? Is she about to…"
Brother Shen Zhu stopped talking halfway and said, "Everyone is here, and the word death is not allowed to be mentioned."
Lin Ting stood and looked down at Shen's mother: "What are you going to do?"
Mother Shen pointed at herself and then at the door.
Lin heard her movements and looked in the direction she pointed.
"Are you going out?"
Mother Shen nodded. This was exactly what she meant. Liu Shiying didn't understand for a long time.
Seeing that she was about to go out, Shen Dali and Shen Zuxiong helped her to the wheelchair and pushed open the door of the west wing.
After going out, she stared at the main house with tears in her eyes. Even now, she was still worried about Shen Jizu.
If Lin Ting hadn't known that she didn't have much time left, he would have ignored her.
"Father-in-law, Second Uncle, call Shen Jizu out."
Now only Lin Ting could understand what Shen's mother meant, and Shen Zuxiong also realized that all the people in the Shen family were here, so why didn't the eldest brother come out to see his mother?
"Really? I totally forgot about my eldest brother. Wait for me, mom. I'll call him out right now. He must have drunk too much yesterday and can't get up."
Shen Zuxiong strode towards the main house. Now the whole family was here to see Shen's mother. Shen's mother was still worried about Shen Jizu, so it would be too unreasonable for him not to come out.
Shen Zuxiong knocked again and again on the rotten door: "Brother, brother, come out!"
There was no movement inside. The oil lamp was on last night. Shen Zhuxiong and Liu Shiying were very sure that Shen Jizu was inside.
After calling twice and no one answered, Brother Shen Zu lost his patience.
"Shen Jizu, your mother is still worried about you even though she's sick. How can you sleep? It's not the first time you failed the exam. Just make a fuss for one night."
This happened because Shen Jizu failed the exam. It happened so many times that everyone in the Shen family is used to it.
There was still no movement. Now everyone in the yard felt that something was wrong. Normally, if someone said that Shen Jizu failed the exam, he would definitely jump up and curse, but this time he didn't.
"Shen Zhuang, Shen Cong, come over here and break down this door for me."
As soon as Brother Shen Zhu gave the order, the two brothers Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong went up and kicked the door down.
As the door fell, the scene that came into view made everyone present hold their breath.
Behind the main door of the house, Shen Jizu's feet were off the ground. He was wearing the same clothes that Lin Ting had seen him yesterday. His eyes were bulging, and a hemp rope was hanging from the beam of the house. He had hanged himself.
"This, this, this..."
Brother Shen Zu was so frightened that he was stunned on the spot. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground, unable to move.
Mother Shen had been feeling very uncomfortable since midnight. This scene was such a huge blow to her. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed the wheelchair and tried to run to the main house.
But he fell down before he took two steps, scraping his arm and looking up at the main house.
"Step-grandfather...step-grandfather..."
Yang Xiuxiu wanted to help Shen's mother up, but was pushed away by her.
"Grandfather..."
Seeing her once beloved son hanged in front of her, Shen's mother felt heartbroken and tears welled up in her eyes, but she could no longer cry out loud.
"Second sister-in-law, help mother-in-law back to her room first."
It’s better not to let Shen’s mother see the old man die.
But just as the two were about to lift Shen's mother up, she suddenly convulsed and then spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
She stopped moving and became limp.
"Aunt, aunt, are you...are you okay?"
Seeing that she was not doing well, Lin Ting reached out to the tip of Shen's mother's nose and found that she was not breathing. He put his fingers on her neck pulse again, and her pulse also stopped beating.
"She's dead!"
Lin Tingting was very calm. She had seen too many dead people and could face it calmly.
"It's out of breath. Why is it out of breath?"
How could she die suddenly? She was still moving the moment before, how could she die?
Shen's mother was already ill, and after being hit so hard by Shen Jizu, she suffered cardiac arrest and could not be saved.
"Mother...Second brother..."
Two people in the Shen family died on the same day, and Shen Dali and Shen Zuxiong were at a loss.
"Shen Cong, go find the village chief and ask anyone who's free to come help."
Shen Qingzhou ordered the youngest Shen Cong to call for help.
"Shen Zhuang, come over and help. Put the man down first."
Shen Qingzhou and Shen Zhuang took Shen Jizu's body down from the hemp rope. Shen Zuxiong had been frightened to the point of collapsing, and now they could no longer rely on him.
Since Shen's mother was dead, all we could do was to take care of her funeral.
"Mother-in-law, move Grandma Qingzhou back to her room first, clean her up and change her clothes."
Yang Xiuxiu had prepared a new set of burial clothes for Shen's mother long before. Now that she has passed away, the unconscious people in the Shen family are the ones who can listen to the words of those who are still conscious.
When something happened to Old Shen's family, the surrounding villagers saw it and came to help.
Shen Jizu had no descendants, and even his clothes were replaced by Shen Zhuang. Fortunately, there were still a few big trees on the hill where the old Shen family lived.
Shen Qingzhou took people up the mountain to cut wood and hired five or six carpenters to make two coffins overnight.
Shen Dali and Shen Zuxiong knelt in front of Shen's mother's coffin, and they couldn't describe what they felt.
Their mother has been partial to Shen Jizu all her life, and even in death she wanted to follow him.
"Shen Dali, the old man has determined the location of the grave with a compass. Shen Jizu committed suicide and cannot be buried in this village. He must be buried on the other side of the river."
This is a feng shui issue in Wushan Village, and the village chief takes it very seriously.
Shen Jizu died a miserable death. He would not have come to trouble the village unless he crossed the river. The villagers still believed in these things.
"What about my mother?"
"Lady Liu should be buried next to Shen Jizu. It's for the good of the Shen family and the village. That's what the old man said."
Shen Dali and Shen Zhuxiong looked at each other and decided that this was the only way. There were workshops in the village, and if the feng shui was bad, it would affect the interests of the entire village.
However, Shen Qingzhou and his family handled these matters themselves. Lin Ting gave the silver to Shen Dali, and she also said it clearly.
The silver handed to Shen Dali was given to Shen Dali by her, not to Shen's mother and Shen Jizu. As for how he used it, Lin Ting would take care of it.
Over the past few days, Lin Ting has always kept Shen Wanyi by her side. When she came to Huayan, she also brought Shen Wanyi to Huayan.
No matter how Shen Jizu treated the mother and daughter before, even if Lin Ting didn't show up now, no one would gossip.
