Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 80 Difficulties
There are a lot of gossips in the market, such as Zhou Tong who died of a sudden illness in his prime, although it is rare, after all, and there are only orphans and widows left, it makes people have no scruples when talking about it.

For some reason, rumors spread that Zhou's mother actually had an affair, and that Zhou Tong was killed by her.

Chunya heard these gossips when she went shopping, scolded the snarky person, and told Zhou's mother when she returned.

Mother Zhou didn't say anything, her heart sank.

The trouble Miss Kou said is true!

Despite the preparations, it is inevitable to be anxious if something does not happen one day.Mother Zhou was apprehensive. On the night of the seventeenth night, the door was suddenly slammed, and her heart suddenly settled down.

finally come.

Before confronting Ji's mother, Zhou's mother thought of Ji's mother's care after she came to Beijing, so thoughtful, so careful, she is a sister, no different from her mother.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou's mother clearly knows the importance of her husband in the heart of the eldest sister.The good things Mother Ji gave were all because of the relationship between siblings. Once they suspect the cause of his brother's death, they will be enemies.

Therefore, she cannot have illusions in her heart.She will do her best to get through this test, at least watch her daughter marry into a good family.

There was a clear knock on the door at night, the gatekeeper opened the door, and Mother Ji strode in.

She ran after her husband.

Tonight is Ji Cailan's second elder brother, who is puzzled to see his parents coming together: "Father, mother, why are you here?"

Once Zhou Tong died, there were only two mothers and daughters left in the Zhou family. The Ji family members were all here to help during the day, and Ji's father and Ji's mother would not be able to survive the health if they were here at night at their age.

Zhou's mother came out: "Elder sister, brother-in-law, why are you here at this time, why don't you rest at home?"

"Let me take a look." Mother Ji strode past Mother Zhou and went straight to the black coffin parked in the mourning hall.

Zhou's mother looked at Ji's father puzzled.

Ji's father showed embarrassment: "Your elder sister just wants to come out."

"Brother, my poor brother, why did you leave all of a sudden—" Mother Ji's cry sounded, adding a bit of gloom to the mourning hall.

Zhou Ningyue tugged at Mother Zhou's sleeve, with a look of fear on her face: "Mother—"

Mother Zhou patted her daughter's hand: "Don't be afraid, your aunt is too sad."

Father Ji and Ji Erlang felt embarrassed by the reaction of the mother and daughter.

"Mom, go back quickly."

"Yeah, you said you, I want to come here early tomorrow morning, this evening." Father Ji obviously knew the reason why Mother Ji came here at this time, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Don't worry about it, I just want to see my poor brother." Mother Ji cried, and suddenly pushed the lid of the coffin, "My brother, let my sister see you again——"

At this time, Zhou's mother didn't respond anymore, but it was abnormal.

"Sister, you can't do this—" Zhou Mu went to pull Ji Mu's hand.

"Don't stop me, I want to take another look at my brother!" Ji's mother made up her mind to see clearly, she didn't believe all those rumors, but if she didn't see it with her own eyes, it would be a lifetime of embarrassment.

Seeing that her son also stretched out her hand to stop her, Ji's mother suddenly burst out with strength and threw Zhou's mother away and pushed open the coffin lid.

The sound of the coffin lid rubbing was extremely ear-piercing in the silent night, Zhou Ningyue froze in place, covering her mouth and weeping.

Mother Ji saw the younger brother with a stiff face, and immediately opened the quilt and lifted the shroud.

"Mother, what's the matter with you, mother?" The girl's mournful cry suddenly sounded.

Mother Ji looked back and saw Mother Zhou lying on the ground with a painful expression on her face.

"Mother, why are you bleeding!" Zhou Ningyue looked at the blood gradually spreading from her mother's body, terrified.

Mother Ji let go of her hand, and took a step in the direction of Mother Zhou in a daze.

"Auntie, what's wrong with my mother?" Zhou Ningyue was at a loss, and asked Mother Ji crying.

Mother Ji squatted down in a daze, touched the blood on the ground with her hand, and woke up like a dream: "Doctor, call the doctor!"

The siblings are pregnant!

The Zhou family was in turmoil for a while, and Father Ji silently put the lid back on the coffin and sighed silently.

Isn't it just looking for trouble?

In the night, the doctor knocked on the door and called for acupuncture and medicine, tossing until dawn and shaking his head regretfully.

Mother Zhou had a miscarriage.

Zhou's mother was lying on the kang in the east room and fell asleep. Ji's mother regretted it and slapped herself.

"How could I have listened to those people's gossip!"

The younger brother has only had one daughter, Yueer, for many years. If the younger brother and sister have no miscarriage, the younger brother may have a son!

Next, Zhou Tong's funeral and burial were all arranged by the Ji family. Zhou's mother lay on the kang for several days, looking weaker and weaker.

"Moon."

"Mom, I'm here, would you like some water?" Zhou Ningyue's red and swollen eyes never recovered.

Zhou's mother shook her daughter's hand: "You ask Chun Ya to invite Miss Kou to come over."

"Ah."

Xin You has been paying attention to the rumors about Zhou's family. At the beginning, she heard the gossip about Zhou's mother murdering her husband for the sake of being a good friend, and she understood why the scene came about.But not long after, it was reported that Zhou's mother had a miscarriage due to excessive grief.

This was not what she had foreseen.

Xin You recalled the scene carefully, and it ended when Ji's mother pushed down Zhou's mother and lifted the shroud. It must have been this pushing that caused Zhou's miscarriage.

This was beyond Xinyou's expectations, but it was not unexpected.She has seen countless pictures since she was a child, but the pictures never represent the whole of one thing.

Xinyou's first reaction was to go to see Zhou's mother, but she just thought that it would be inappropriate for her to go to Zhou's house before Zhou Tong's burial, especially when she ran into He Qingxiao that day, so she couldn't help but wait patiently.

The arrival of Chun Ya made Xin You's heart sink.

Although Zhou's mother promised to tell her the secret of the couple's dispute, she was the one who fought for it from the beginning to the end.How could a person who was passively about to tell his secret suddenly send someone to invite him?

If she were Zhou's mother, she would never take the initiative in the agreement between the two, unless things changed again, and it was a change that was not good for Zhou's mother.

Thinking of Zhou's mother's miscarriage, Xinyou had a bad premonition.

Xinyou came to Zhou's house again.

The street was noisy, but the small courtyard of the Zhou family was eerily quiet.Xin You found that the doorman was gone, and it was Zhou Ningyue who opened the door.

Seeing Xinyou, Zhou Ningyue's eyes turned red: "Sister Kou."

Facing Zhou Ningyue, Xin You felt a little complicated.Although she hasn't heard Zhou's mother's secret yet, she also knows that her mother's death is inseparable from the couple, but she also knows that Zhou Ningyue is innocent.

"Sister Zhou, how is Auntie?"

"My mother is not well..." Zhou Ningyue choked up, and brought Xinyou into the room.

The east room is a large kang by the window. Zhou's mother lay on the top of the kang and opened her eyes when she heard the movement.

"Miss Kou, you're here."

Xinyou was surprised when she saw Zhou's mother clearly.

Although Zhou's mother was haggard before, she was not to this extent. The person in front of her actually gave people the feeling of exhaustion.

"Sister Kou drinks tea." Zhou Ningyue came over with tea.

Xinyou took it and thanked her.

"Yue'er, go back to your room first, Mother has something to say to Miss Kou."

Zhou Ningyue looked at Xinyou, then at her mother, and went back to the west wing silently despite many doubts.
