Chapter 1 Section 42 Life is short
In the ward of the central hospital, there was an old woman with a thin body and white hair.
She had a sallow face and was covered in tubes. From her tired eyes, it was clear that she was already suffering from illness. She reached out and pulled a middle-aged woman in a dark brown coat who looked like a teacher sitting next to her and chatted.
She looked weak, but she didn't want to end the conversation, she wanted to make everything clear.
"Yimei, it's all my fault for you. ”
"No, Mom, you're not wrong about me. ”
"I didn't support your marriage with Junwen at that time, just because I thought you were a poor teacher with no background and were not worthy of our family Junwen. But now it seems that your father is right, and the scholarly family can last longer. ”
Zhou Yimei was silent, she seemed to be very aware of this past, but she didn't want to talk more at this time and let this patient suffer more harm.
Her husband Tong Junwen is still abroad, and I heard that my mother is seriously ill and has taken care of the matter at hand, and will rush back soon. My husband's younger brother Tong Junwu just left in the morning, and he also accompanied his mother for a long time. Only Du Changying seemed to have made all kinds of excuses, just not to see Han Fengjuan, which made Fengjuan very sad.
"I have two daughters-in-law, and you are the only one who can come to see me often. The woman doesn't even show her face now. Now he has given the title of "that woman" to Du Changying.
"She may be busy with work and has a lot to do in the group, so don't mind if she doesn't come to see you often. Originally, Zhou Yimei was reluctant to get involved in the company's affairs, but since her mother-in-law said so, she still came out to make a round show to let the old man get on the stage.
"She's busy with work, she's just making excuses not to come to see me. "Han Fengjuan is sick like this, and her temperament is still so big, it seems that her prejudice against Du Changying is really very deep.
"How long has it been since this? I didn't even show my face, I just asked the secretary to come and see me, what is that?" Immediately, Han Fengjuan coughed wildly.
Zhou Yimei comforted beside her, and also watched the monitor to prevent her condition from continuing to deteriorate.
"It's the same for the secretary, if she has this heart, it means that she still thinks about you, don't worry too much. When she's done, she'll definitely come to see you, so don't worry. ”
The pain caused by the cough temporarily calmed the anger in Han Fengjuan's heart. She didn't want to continue arguing with Zhou Yimei, because if she argued again, it would seem that she hated Zhou Yimei.
The two were silent for a while, and Han Fengjuan pointed to the bedside table next to her.
"Bring me the little box in the drawer. ”
Zhou Yimei opened the drawer on the bedside table and took out a small brown square wooden box. She didn't open it, and handed it directly to Han Fengjuan's hand.
Han Fengjuan took it tremblingly with her sallow and dry hands, and she opened the lid of the box vigorously, and it turned out to be a piece of mutton fat white jade pendant inside.
"This piece of white jade was left to me by Grandpa Shaohui, and there were originally two pieces, which were intended to be given to my daughter-in-law when Junwen and Junwu got married. ”
Hearing Han Fengjuan say this, Zhou Yimei felt a little uncomfortable, since she didn't give it away when she got married, why did she take it out again at this time?
As if sensing Zhou Yimei's displeasure, Han Fengjuan sighed. "It's all my fault for being confused, this should have belonged to you for a long time, I have been occupying it, and now I will give it back to you. ”
As she spoke, she handed the mutton fat white jade pendant to Zhou Yimei.
Zhou Yimei didn't want to excuse herself, so she took it with both hands and looked at it carefully. This is indeed a good piece of jade, she doesn't understand jade, but she can also feel that this is a very comfortable looking white jade, with the word "auspicious" engraved on it.
"Thank you, Mom. ”
"No thanks, this should have been yours. ”
"Originally, there were two pieces of jade, one for each of the brothers. But that's all there is to it now. Han Fengjuan didn't continue, as if she remembered a sad past.
"I'm sorry Zhang Ling. ”
"What?" Zhou Yimei was taken aback when she heard Han Fengjuan's sudden words. How could she mention Zhang Ling? Could it be that Zhang Ling's disappearance has something to do with Han Fengjuan?
Han Fengjuan slowly closed her eyes and took a few breaths, she was too tired, but she still insisted on telling this matter, because she didn't want to take this matter to the coffin.
"Yimei, do you remember Zhang Ling?"
"Yes. "That's her best friend, how could she forget?
"Do you remember Zhang Ling's pregnancy?"
"Yes. Zhou Yimei replied very quickly, because she felt that Han Fengjuan would tell a shocking secret, and she was eager to get Zhang Ling's whereabouts from this patient's mouth.
Han Fengjuan coughed twice.
"I don't like Zhang Ling at all, and I have always wanted to break up her marriage with Junwu. Zhou Yimei already knew this, and she also knew that she should not have been the daughter-in-law of this strong woman.
But Junwu was very persistent, and he lived with Zhang Ling, and later became pregnant. I was very angry when I heard it. A violent cough interrupted Han Fengjuan again. The days of this patient, who have metastasized from cancer, are numbered, and any word she says could be her last words.
Zhou Yimei could only wait anxiously for her to finish coughing before continuing to tell Zhang Ling's whereabouts.
"I thought of a lot of ways, I wanted to have a stillborn baby or miscarriage, but then I thought of an allusion. If you do what this allusion says, it may not be so cruel. Han Fengjuan was coughing violently again, but she didn't stop for a long time. coughed all the time, almost coughing up blood, which made Zhou Yimei shocked and hurriedly called the nurse.
Zhou Yimei, who was standing aside and watching the doctors and nurses rescuing her, repeated in her heart what Han Fengjuan said just now. "The fetus is stillborn! This is too cruel, and the miscarriage is not much better! It seems that Han Fengjuan is really vicious. Then what kind of allusion did she say? What does it mean to 'do according to the allusion'? Isn't the final outcome that Zhang Ling's baby is a dead baby? Could it be that she killed Zhang Ling's child by other means?"
Zhou Yimei was puzzled. She felt that this strong woman who was dying soon was really terrifying, and she couldn't avoid it. So she found an opportunity and went home.
She really didn't want to see Han Fengjuan again, because she heard that she actually designed to frame Zhang Ling and Zhang Ling's child! Although she has now repented, it was an unforgivable mistake. Zhang Ling doesn't know where she is now, and she really can't do it if she asks Yimei to visit this insidious murderer again.
But the jade pendant in his hand has nothing to do with Han Fengjuan, it should have belonged to him a long time ago, and it is a token of the family. She opened the box and looked at the auspicious white jade pendant.
"How good it would be if that piece was in Zhang Ling's hands. ”
