Chapter 223 I don’t want to live anymore!

Pei Yanning nodded. He left the washed dishes to dry, and put them in the cupboard until they were almost dry before leaving. Then he looked at Gu Si.

The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other with strange expressions.

Logically speaking, Lingxi's behavior was not normal, but neither of them found it surprising, which made it a bit awkward.

Gu Si stroked slowly: "Before Lingxi fainted..."

He subconsciously said at that time that he would not let her have any regrets again.

I really didn't realize it at the time, but now that I think about it, the "again" that he blurted out was very interesting.

Pei Yanning tapped the desktop, and suddenly he remembered something Lingxi had told him before.

Lingxi recognized Gu Si at first sight because Lingxi said that she dreamed about him. Oh no, to be precise, she accidentally captured some images remaining in her soul when she was sleeping one day.

Now, Gu Si and Ling Xi are causing trouble again...

Now it was quite easy for them to accept it.

They didn't know how this worked, but they were sure that Lingxi had no problems with her health from beginning to end, so it wasn't a big problem, since the person was right under their noses.

The two of them tacitly let this go.

Gu Si thought for a moment and said, "The old lady poured out the medicine. I'm afraid there aren't many left at home, right?"

He knew the prescriptions he wrote because some medicinal materials were really hard to find, not to mention that now was a time when there was a shortage of doctors and medicines.

He sorted through the medicinal herbs they had on hand, and asked Uncle Pei and the others to piece them together before he made those prescriptions.

It's painful to lose one pair.

"It's okay. Let the old lady do whatever she wants. Your second uncle can handle it."

Pei Yanning, for example, is not a filial son in the traditional sense. Things like serving her by her bed and serving her tea and water do not mean much to him. Due to the habits he has developed, he is more likely to do things for money, such as finding someone to take care of her and help her get medical treatment and medicine.

Now that Pei Yanning has an Uncle Pei who takes care of everything at home, his life is much easier.

The corner of Gu Si's mouth twitched.

"Second uncle is really lucky to have you."

Pei Yanning: “…”

If he hadn't looked so weak, he would have had to fight with him.

But, when talking about the second brother, his eyes softened.
-
At the same time, Uncle Pei looked at the old lady who had changed out of her shroud and was lying on the bed. Even though the old lady had fallen, her complexion was still much better than the previous two days.

At least it doesn't look like he's going to die soon.

but--

At this time, the old lady closed her eyes, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, and she looked like she was refusing to communicate.

It seemed as if she would continue like this.

After a while, Uncle Pei spoke.

"You really don't want to live anymore?"

Uncle Pei's voice was the kind that was overly hysterical and could only be expressed slowly. It contained anger, confusion, and a deep sense of depression that had nowhere to vent.

Yes!

The miracle doctor once said that if the patient was treated well, it would not be a problem to live another ten or eight years.

This time, Gu Si also said that his life was back, and if he took good care of himself with the prescription, he would have no problem living a few more years.

But!
Didn’t she secretly pour out Gu Si’s medicine?
Who knows how many bowls of medicine the miracle doctor gave her? Otherwise, I'm afraid she would have died just a little bit short of it!

Uncle Pei tried his best to suppress his temper.

"In order to rescue you from the underworld, the fourth brother has difficulty walking a few steps. As for the prescriptions, the clan members gathered together and searched all the nearby villages and even the county hospital to collect the prescriptions.

You just fell down like that?"

Ah!
The old lady spoke after a while: "I should have died that night, and I have secretly lived for so long, which is already a lot..." She insisted on seeing a few little grandchildren, and she was already satisfied.

That night?

Uncle Pei subconsciously thought of the night when she fell off the bed and Lingxi was born.

The old lady almost died that night!

Uncle Pei thought carefully about the situation at that time. Suddenly, a figure that he met at the entrance of the village in the middle of the night appeared in his mind. It seemed like a flash of a strange yet familiar figure.

His pupils shrank and he relaxed for a moment before looking at the old lady.

At this time, the old lady stopped talking and just kept crying.

Uncle Pei understood his biological mother well and knew that the old lady was still determined to commit suicide.

Uncle Pei suppressed the sudden contraction in his heart and sneered: "Yes, you are so capable! You can die when you say you want to die!
Then why don't you calculate and see how many days your son has left to live?

How many days can your youngest son live?"

The old lady's tears flowed even more violently, but she said nothing.

Uncle Pei smiled and said, "He just doesn't want to live anymore. What a big deal! I'll discuss this with the third and youngest brothers later. I wonder if the old man is dead or not..."

Uncle Pei's pupils shrank as he clearly saw the old lady's eyelids move.

He continued, "Old man! If he was still alive, who knows, he might have found us a few stepmothers over the years."

The old lady suddenly opened her eyes.

Uncle Pei continued.

"Oh, you are so considerate, just in time to make room for someone..."

"you dare!"

"you dare!"

The old lady sat up suddenly and stared at Uncle Pei. Because she was exerting too much strength, she cried out weakly again and fell down again, but her eyes were staring at him fiercely.

Uncle Pei laughed: "You don't even know where you will be by then. You really can't control whether I dare or not!"

"Get out, get out, you unfilial son, get out of here, cough, cough cough..."

The old lady threw the pillow over, coughing and gasping, but she had no strength left. Uncle Pei clenched and unclenched his hands, maintaining a sneer on his face with his body stiff.

Second Uncle Pei managed his facial expression perfectly, but Pei Yanning, who had been paying attention to this side with his mental power, could still clearly sense that Second Uncle Pei was probably not feeling well.

But, the old lady was so upset.

It looked like the thought of death in my heart was gone!
This is a blessing!
Pei Yanning withdrew his mental power and went out to find his second uncle Pei.

When Pei Yanning came out, Second Uncle Pei, who was always gentle and elegant, was leaning against the wall, looking at the sky, looking a little confused. Pei Yanning patted him on the shoulder.

"I just heard it."

Uncle Pei hummed, puzzled.

"Isn't the old man buried?" They never neglected to offer sacrifices to him during the four seasons and festivals.

The funeral was organized by the clan. Uncle Pei recalled carefully that at that time...

The coffin seemed to have been sealed in advance? !
he said as he thought.

The night before the old lady fell, when they were returning to the village from the county town, they seemed to see several figures flashing by at the entrance of the village. One of the figures looked vaguely familiar to him, but he had been dead for many years. He did not think much about it and subconsciously thought that the group of people were just passing by. As for whether they were visiting or going into the mountains for something, he did not care at all.

But now, seeing that the old lady was determined to commit suicide, he didn't know why his mind suddenly moved, and he subconsciously remembered the situation at that time, so he used that person to trick her, but he didn't expect...

Now that I think about it, the direction they came from might not be the ancestral hall!

but--

He still didn't understand, even if it was really that person, why the old lady didn't want to live.
