CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 160: MOTHER IS SO PITIFUL

Li Shi looked up and saw Yun Jiao, tears immediately falling.

She threw down the clothes in her hands, calling out in grievance, "Yun Jiao, you’re finally here."

She ran up to Yun Jiao, tears streaming down her face, whispering, "I don’t want to live here anymore. My sisters-in-law make me work every day, and I also have to wash clothes for the whole family."

"Wuwuwu, mom is so miserable..."

She shook Yun Jiao’s sleeve, "I want to go back."

Yun Jiao said blandly, "Then hurry up and pack your things, you can go back home and take care of Gu Mei."

Li Shi blinked, "Take care of Mei Er? What’s wrong with her? Isn’t she at her husband’s house?"

Yun Jiao frowned, briefly whispering to her about Gu Mei’s situation.

She temporarily didn’t mention the matter of five hundred taels of silver, to avoid her mother asking too many questions.

"She’s not doing well now, still in a semi-conscious state, needing someone to take care of her."

Li Shi looked horrified, "How could she do such a thing?"

"How can you let her come back home?"

"In a few days, the whole town, no, the whole county will know."

"With such a daughter, how am I supposed to live?"

Yun Jiao quietly looked at Li Shi for a moment, "So you mean, you’re not going back?"

Li Shi shook her head desperately, "I’m not going, I’ve got no face."

Yun Jiao suddenly smiled, "Alright, suit yourself."

She said nothing more and turned to leave.

Leaving the house, Yun Jiao got in the carriage and couldn’t help but laugh.

Does her mother Li Shi actually have a heart?

Laughing, Yun Jiao’s tears came down as well.

In both her lives, she never had a normal mother.

Her real mother in the past, after giving birth to her, threw her to her grandparents.

She divorced her dad after a month, and since then, her mom never cared to glance at her.

Her dad wasn’t much better than her mom, leaving her with her grandparents and not caring as if she was their responsibility.

Her grandfather once consulted a monk who told her fortune, saying she had thin parental ties.

It truly was thin ties.

Returning home, Gu Mei was still lying on the bed.

Ah Tie was guarding the door.

Yun Jiao started a fire and placed a charcoal basin beside Gu Mei’s bed.

Then she wrote a prescription, asking Uncle Liu Er to run to the county town to fetch some medicine.

After doing all this, Yun Jiao went to the kitchen to cook porridge.

By the time Uncle Liu Er brought back the medicine, it was already dark.

Yun Jiao gave a generous fare for the carriage, asking Uncle Liu Er to pick her up the next morning.

Yun Jiao finished brewing the medicine, brought it to Gu Mei’s room, placed it by the bed, and then said emotionlessly, "The medicine is ready, get up to drink it later."

"I cooked porridge in the kitchen, if you want to eat, help yourself."

"I’ll sleep in my room tonight, call me if you need anything."

After speaking, Yun Jiao went out.

As she left, tears surged from Gu Mei’s eyes, flowing continuously.

When she found out she was going to be drowned in a pig cage, she didn’t want to die.

Her sister saved her, but now she doesn’t know how to live on.

Her naked image was seen by all the villagers; will she have the face to go out in the future?

She could even imagine people pointing fingers at her when she stepped outside.

Those men might even try to take advantage of her.

Her reputation is ruined, making it impossible to marry in this county.

The county is so small, news spreads fast.

Gu Mei suddenly felt she shouldn’t have begged Yun Jiao to save her.

Death would be a relief, a complete end.

From now on, how will she live?
