FSC [QT] Chapter 88.1

Arc 5: Swapping Lives (3)

Advertisement

“Hurry up and put the person down!”

The fat woman who knocked on the door first was the first to wake up.

She pulled the woman closest to her, who had been frightened for a long time, awakened. The two of them hugged Mrs. Yu’s legs together and lifted her up, just in time to get her head out of the hemp rope loop hanging on the beam.

“She’s out of breath, and her body is stiff.”

There was no time to argue. Several people worked together to put Mrs. Yu’s body on the ground.

The fat woman stretched out her hand and probed her nose, but she had no breath and her body was stiff, which showed that she had been dead for some time.

Even if the Golden Immortal came to the world, he probably couldn’t save her.

“What a fool!”

The fat woman looked at Mrs. Yu’s red and purple face. Instead of feeling any sympathy, she even wanted to slap her a few times.

Li Xu, the fat woman who knocked on the door, was a neighbor of the Yu family.

She was disliked by Mrs. Yu because she advised Mrs. Yu to give up the treatment when Yu Fucai got tuberculosis. The neighborly friendship of so many years was unilaterally severed by Mrs. Yu.

Li Xu also looked down on Yu Fucai and Mrs. Yu, but she felt sorry for Yu Yan and Yu Wu and would occasionally give the two children some food.

She contributed to the fact that Yu Yan and Yu Wu did not starve to death.

“What on earth is she thinking? If she dies, everything will be over for her, but what about the children? What will she do with Yu Yan and Yu Wu? The oldest of the two children is only five years old. As a mother, she won’t raise them. Does she think the children can grow up drinking dew?”

Li Xu had never seen a woman like Mrs. Yu.

The other party only had her husband in her heart and eyes. She even ignored the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. It seemed as if she lived her whole life only for a man.

As a mother, Li Xu herself has three children. She didn’t even dare to think about what would happen if something happened to her when her children were still young.

Li Xu felt that if that time really happened, she would become a ghost and stay with her children to take care of them. If anyone dared to bully her children, she would curse them even if her soul was torn to pieces.

But, Mrs. Yu died so easily. Li Xu simply could not understand this woman’s thoughts at all.

“Look at what a mess she left behind. She can die if she wants to, but can’t she wait until the two children are older before dying? Who will stop her by then?”

Li Xu was furious. The more she talked, the angrier she became. She wanted to kick her a few times.

“Puh, puh, puh, no taboos, no taboos.”

The woman who had carried Mrs. Yu’s body down with Li Xu pulled Li Xu’s hand in panic. It was said that the dead were the greatest. Mrs. Yu was already dead, so what was the point of saying all these things?

Besides, she was cursing so harshly now. Wasn’t she afraid that Mrs. Yu would cause trouble for her after she turned into a ghost?

However, everyone present agreed with Li Xu’s statement. In their opinion, Mrs. Yu was really not worthy of being a mother.

“What should we do now?”

Yu Fucai died, and Mrs. Yu also committed suicide for love. There was no one in the Yu family who could take charge of the funeral’s affairs.

What should be done with the funeral of the two people? Who should pay for the funeral?

Xiaoxi Village was not a wealthy village. They felt a little pain to pay for the funeral of a person who was not related to them for no reason.

“Last month, Mrs. Yu asked me to borrow twenty coins1钱, qián: coin / money / unit of weight, one-tenth of a tael., saying that she would pay me back after she finished the embroidery work this month.”

A woman wearing a gray narrow-sleeved jacket stood up and spoke. She put her five fingers together to cover her face, unable to bear to look at the two corpses in the room.

This was not the first time that Mrs. Yu had borrowed money. Yu Fucai’s illness was a bottomless pit. Mrs. Yu sold everything she could, but she still often did not have enough money and had to borrow from people in the village.

In the past year, she had borrowed money from all her relatives and friends. She had also shamelessly asked for money from villagers she didn’t know well before.

Because Mrs. Yu had good craftsmanship, she could earn some money from embroidery work every month.
