Queen of flowers - Chapter 37

 The possibility that Yang Qigong would be rescued by the “Chong Xi” was about zero.

    And herself … she thought happily, ‘If she gets married three days after her engagement was canceled. She wondered if she would be the fastest woman to be married after breaking an engagement in history?’

 Did she want to apply for a Guinness Book or something?

    Zhou wiped her eyes and barely smiled at her, “Mother is fine! I just wronged you …”

    As soon as she said that, she was about to burst into tears again, and quickly held back. After a while, she continued to say, “Since you don’t need to hold a wedding banquet anymore, it is inconvenient to discuss it now … Simply, you will order a thin coffin tomorrow and prepare some things to be used … … you remember: the funeral must be simple, a thin coffin, and the burial will be held for three days! “

    Hearing that Zhou Shi began to talk about the aftermath, Yong Ruo finally couldn’t hold back, “Mother!”

    She remembered the suffering after transmigrating, remembering the humiliation suffered these days, and finally crouched beside the bed, grabbed Zhou’s hand, put her head on the edge of the bed, and her tears couldn’t stop.

    “Good girl, be obedient!” Zhou wiped her tears with one hand and stroked her shoulder with the other one. “The money that you brought back on the Lantern Festival, you must save them. I warn you that more than a dozen silvers buried in the ground, must not be used for the funeral; otherwise, you are not filial!”

Turning her head again, she said to Yong Qiao and Yong Miao, “You also remember that! “

    Yong Qiao felt awkward: Where was the silver buried in the ground? 

But he nodded to Zhou Shi.

    Yong Miao, who was completely ignorant, also nodded.

    After a few breaths, Zhou Shi said to Yong Qiao, “The silver buried in the ground was rewarded by the old lady your sister met on the Lantern Festival. After I die, that’s money for your life expenses! We parents did not have the ability to let you live a good life or raise you as adults. It is a shame. If you spend that little money on the funeral, I would have no face to see your father,” she sobbed.

    “Mother, don’t cry! We will listen to you!” Yong Ruo said with tears. Yong Qiao and Yong Miao also agreed.

    Their mother held back her tears, smiled, and held Yong Ruo’s hand, “Ruoer, the Yang family, mother knows you are feeling bitter … But people like ours, without a man, and no relatives to rely on, how can we stand a little storm? We can only tolerate the incident! If your second and third brothers grow up, you will have a chance, that day you will be able to take care of the incident … “

    Yong Ruo comforted her, “Mother, it is also good not to marry now! I can spend more time with my mother and take care of my second and third brother.”

    She stood up, rubbed Yong Miao’s head, and said, “Okay! Don’t talk about these unhappy things! Miao will talk to his mother and tell her interesting stories! I will go to the kitchen with Qiao. Let’s have a good dinner tonight and celebrate your sister’s freedom. I don’t have to marry the Yang’s son and go to jail! “

    When the tearful Yong Miao heard that he could eat well, he burst into tears and laughed, holding Zhou’s hand he began talking about the children’s gossip. For example, a child was disobedient and was scolded by his father. The bamboo dragonfly made by his sister was good, and it could fly so high …

    Seeing Yong Ruo recovering from the blow from her divorce so soon, Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and listened to Yong Miao with a smile.

    Yong Ruo and Yong Qiao went to the kitchen and together, they made a meal with vegetables and meat. It was a satisfying and peaceful night.

    The next day, Yong Ruo began to prepare for Zhou’s funeral, as ordered by her.

    When the neighbors saw the coffin, they knew that Zhou’s health had worsened! Those kind and friendly neighbors brought gifts to visit.

    In Mopan Hutong, the gifts that these people brought to each other were mostly eggs, a salted fish, a handful of dates, and so on. The Qin family in the east sent a chicken!

    After Zhou’s gave her funeral instruction following the breaking of the engagement the previous night, all the anger was also vented. Even with Xu Taiyi’s medicine, good soup, and good food, her spirit quickly weakened. She was getting drowsy for long periods.

    Yong Ruo stood by the bed every day, watching the weak Zhou, watching the increasingly sad and desperate Yong Qiao and Yong Miao, her heart remained anxious and unsettled.

    Knowing that someone was dying soon, and watching a familiar member step into death a little by little was definitely a completely different mental feeling!

    Every time Zhou was lethargic for a long time, her heartbeat got faster; every time she went to explore Zhou’s carotid artery, her hands would be shaking. She was glad when she could detect the pulse and worried whether she would still be able to detect the pulse next time.

    Even if her affection for Zhou was far less than her affection to her parents in her previous life, she couldn’t help feeling panicked when the time of parting in life and death came!

    After all, Zhou was also a well-informed, gracious, and kind elder who knew the social rules of this world. Even if she only laid on the bed, Yong Ruo occasionally asked her opinions, and she felt more at ease.

    Now, such a spiritual pillar was going to be lost!

    Yong Ruo wanted to cry! She wanted to cry!

    If she entered Feng Liao’s house, even as a concubine, could she get the 2070 system points?

    So, if she was given another chance, would she be willing to agree to marry him? Yong Ruo thought, there was no answer after all …

    When she went to pick water in the evening, Yong Ruo heard a piece of bad news; Wu Er was dead!

    Her mood was a little tense. Her engagement broke off, and Zhou’s condition became worse. This was really bad news!

    She sped to pick up the water, filled the water tanks, buckets, and went into the house. She closed, latched the door, and held the door firmly from inside by leaning against it.

    There was a class of people in this world she struggles to deal with, that was, those shameless rogues.

     Wu’s family originally acted to be nice and innocent, and they would not be so unreasonable. But since that night, the Wu family brothers were exposed as thieves. After the family’s face was gone, they went on the road of shameless skin and never looked back.

    Even though she was not in the wrong, she had to guard herself against them before she encountered some officials, and she could then explain to them reasonably.

    The hustle and bustle passed from the alleyway from far to near. A voice was intertwined with several wailing and cursing sounds!

    Yong Ruo sighed in her heart. A big show was about to start!
