WFWC Chapter 46

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 46:  An Yan Killed Two Old People

 

Ji Hua was held by Mrs. Ji and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun, squinting her eyes comfortably.

 

At noon, the old woman who went out to wash clothes had not returned yet.

 

[Maybe she fell down, mom, send someone to look for her quickly.]

 

Even if Ji Hua didn’t say anything, Mrs. Ji also planned to send someone to look for her.

 

After a while, the old man came back carrying a hoe. When he heard that his wife was missing, he also put down his hoe and went out to look for her.

 

As soon as he went out, he saw the guard who had gone out to look for her coming back carrying the unconscious old woman.

 

The maid shouted from afar: “It’s not good Madam, the old lady fell down and fainted.”

 

Madam Ji hurriedly handed Ji Hua to Xiu He and ordered the guards, “Hurry, help her to the room.” Madam Ji followed and checked the old lady’s injuries.

 

The old man behind her was so anxious that he kept wiping away tears.

 

An Yan crossed his legs and looked as if he had nothing to do with him.

 

Ji Yushu was pushed forward by the maid to comfort the old man: “Don’t worry, Grandpa, my mother knows some medical skills and will find a way.”

 

The old man was startled, then said with surprise: “Okay, I feel relieved with you here.” After that, the old man suddenly started coughing violently.

 

[Yes, yes, don’t worry, grandpa. If anything goes wrong, I will help.]

 

She had used up all her points yesterday, so she started complaining and earned back 200 points. The two old people were kind enough to let them stay overnight. They were very good people, and nothing could happen to them.

 

An Yan held a dogtail grass in his mouth and glanced at the old man’s sideways. His eyes moved down to his pair of clean cloth shoes without a speck of mud.

 

Thoughtful.

 

In the room, Mrs. Ji was about to examine the old woman when she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

 

Mrs. Ji was overjoyed and hurried forward to ask with concern: “Where do you feel uncomfortable, old lady?” Mrs. Ji wanted to feel the old woman’s pulse, but the old lady pulled her hand away without leaving a trace.

 

She looked at Madam Ji with cloudy eyes and humbly and resisted, “Madam, you are a noble lady and you must not treat a dying old woman, lest you be infected with bad luck.”

 

Madam Ji smiled helplessly: “What are you talking about, old lady? I am just a businesswoman, not a noble family. Let me take a look, otherwise, I will be worried.”

 

However, the old lady was very resistant and shrank back into the bed: “No, no, I have some old illnesses, so I won’t bother you, Madam, or I will humiliate you.”

 

Madam Ji’s hands froze in mid-air. Seeing that she insisted, she did not force her: “Okay, old lady, have a good rest. If there is anything, just let the maid do it.”

 

“Yes, yes, ma’am, please go out and take care of the child. The child may be hungry.” The old woman lowered her eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in her turbid eyes.

 

Seeing Mrs. Ji coming out, Ji Hua immediately acted coquettishly and asked for a hug.

 

[How are you, Mom? Is Grandma okay?]

 

The old couple obviously have a son, but they are rejected by their daughter-in-law and live in this deserted village. It’s quite pitiful when you think about it.

 

Mrs Ji frowned and said as if unintentionally: “Why doesn’t she want to see a doctor?”

 

Ji Hua was full of suspicion when she heard this.

 

[Why don’t she want to see the doctor? Is she afraid of spending money? ]

 

There was nothing to do during the day, so An Yan and Ji Yushu took a nap in the carriage. Madam Ji was worried about Lord Ji and Doctor Mu in the city, so she asked a maid to find out about the situation. At the same time, she asked the maid to bring back some medicine to keep in case of emergency.

 

The old woman had been sleeping during the afternoon.

 

Mrs. Ji held Ji Hua in her arms and basked in the sun in the yard. The warm sunlight shone on her body and she squinted her eyes comfortably, and fell asleep unknowingly.

 

At about 3pm, a maidservant felt unwell. She said it was a symptom of infection.

 

The maid who went out to investigate never came back, and Madam Ji was so anxious that she had to hand Ji Hua over to Xiu He. She went out to look for herbs, and Ji Yushu was worried about her, so he asked one of the guards to accompany her.

 

As the sun set and the air became colder, Xiuhe carried the sleeping Jihua to the bed in the inner room and covered her with a quilt before going about her business.

 

An Yan had been paying attention to Xiu He. When he saw her put the little monster into the house alone, he knew the time had come. He pretended to be bored and walked into the inner room. “Oh, I’m a little thirsty. Come in and get a glass of water.” Ji Yushu watched him enter the house and kept a closer eye on him.

 

Unexpectedly, not long after, something unexpected happened. An old woman’s shrill cry came from the inner room: “Come, come quickly, someone is killing someone.”

 

At this time, Madam Ji had just returned from collecting herbs. After hearing the screams, she and Ji Yushu rushed into the house in a hurry, just in time to see An Yan smashing the old woman to death on the bed with a hoe. The old man was lying on the ground with his eyes open.

 

The two were shocked.

 

“Mom, brother, I heard them”

 

“Snap—”

 

Before An Yan could finish, Madam Ji angrily slapped An Yan on the face, and said bitterly: “You are crazy, are you crazy? It turns out that I had too high expectations of you. I thought you really put down your butcher knife and turned over a new leaf, but I didn’t expect you to still be bloodthirsty. You want to kill people just because of a fruit.”

 

Watching his behavior these days, she really felt sorry for this child who had no parents and looked like Ji Linfeng. She wanted to iInfluence him with love and guide him onto the right path. However, he actually killed this helpless old couple just because of a wild fruit.

 

“You disappoint me so much.” Mrs. Ji’s words and disappointed look hurt An Yan’s heart.

 

So this is how she saw him. He was a killer, sure, but how could he kill someone just for a wild fruit?

 

He just shouted angrily: “Why are you disappointed in me? Why?” She didn’t even listen to him finish his words. Why did she say that he was bloodthirsty? Why did she conclude that he didn’t want to mend his ways?

 

Ji Hua in the next room was awakened by An Yan’s roar. She didn’t know what was going on. She stared with her round black eyes and listened to the conversation here.

 

Then she heard her mother’s angry voice: “Why? Just because you look so much like Feng’er, as a mother, I should take good care of you. Look at you now, you are a mad demon who kills people without blinking an eye.”

 

“Heh.” An Yan smiled coldly: “Mother? Shouldn’t a mother believe in her children unconditionally? But you, without even asking the reason, insisted that I killed them because of a fruit?”

 

Mrs. Ji was so angry at his words that she laughed, “Then what are you doing in this room? Don’t tell me you went to the wrong place.”

 

“I didn’t go wrong because I…”

 

“Are you still trying to say that they want to kill you? That’s ridiculous!”

 

Mrs. Ji was always gentle and virtuous, and rarely got so angry. It was obvious that she had some expectations for An Yan. Even if he was not a child of the Ji family, he was still a pitiful person, and she could see that he longed for family affection.

 

An Yan stood there in a daze, feeling cold all over. He had once thought that the person in front of him would be a good mother, and even if she was not a child of the Ji family, he would respect her and protect her. But now, she concluded that he had killed someone.

 

An Yan stood there in a daze, feeling extremely uneasy, as if something was about to leave him.

 

Madam Ji cruelly called two guards and said, “Tie him up and wait for the Marquis to come back and deal with him.”

 

Ji Yushu felt that there might be something hidden behind this matter, so he reached out and pulled Madam Ji, “Mom, why don’t you listen to what he has to say first? Maybe there really is something hidden behind this.”

 

“In broad daylight, I saw with my own eyes that he showed murderous intentions towards the old lady because of a piece of fruit.” Mrs. Ji’s beautiful eyes were filled with anger. She had warned him at that time, but she never thought that he still had the murderous intention.

 

An Yan looked at Madam Ji in disbelief, and said for the last time: “Do you really think I would kill these two people just for a fruit?”

 

Madam Ji did not look at An Yan again, and said coldly: “Isn’t it? A bloodthirsty killer has long regarded human life as worthless.”

 

An Yan felt extremely disappointed. He kicked the Ji family guards who came forward to tie him up with two heavy kicks and said angrily: “Okay, okay, I am bloodthirsty, right? Then I will be bloodthirsty to show you.”

 

An Yan ran away, kicked away two guards and escaped through the window.

 

If he wanted to escape, no one could stop him.

 

As the sky gradually darkened, Madam Ji arranged for the servants to prepare for the funeral of the two elderly people. The two elderly people had sons in the city, so it would be unreasonable not to inform them.

 

This matter was caused by the Ji family, and she will not evade the responsibilities she should fulfill afterwards.

 

Mrs. Ji was so upset about An Yan’s incident that she didn’t even have dinner. Ji Hua was very worried about her.

 

She was thinking that although An Yan was a killer, he had changed a lot because of her and Ji Linfeng’s similarity. Almost all the killers they met on the road died at their hands. He was the one who protected Doctor Mu all the way. She felt that An Yan really regarded the Ji family as his family.

 

Is there any hidden story behind today’s events?

 

If there really is a hidden story, what can two elderly people do?

 

The more Ji Hua thought about it, the more she felt that she had missed some important information.
