Chapter 233: Li Family’s Misfortune (4) (1/2)

In the end, Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin lost to Zhou Ping’s argument that the children were still too young. and should stay with their parents. She could not bear to part with them. Also, there were too many children at home, and their grandparents were too old to care for them.

It was true that the children were too young and their parents were loath to part with them. In addition, considering the family situation, they were rather embarrassed to leave the children with them.

So they decided that the two children should follow them back to the city.

Meanwhile, in the Li household!

For the past few days, the Li family of the Poplar Brigade had been suffering terribly.

Since that night, Old Madam Li had been unable to recover from her illness.

The day that Gu Yunshuang came for the divorce papers, she had gone out although she was still ill. As a result, her illness had worsened.

She was running a high fever and drifted in and out of sleep. Meanwhile, she continued to yell about ghosts!

Everyone asked her what had happened that night, but she insisted that she had encountered a ghost!

No one believed her at first, but when she continued to insist that it was so, some said that perhaps she had really encountered something, because of her many evil deeds.

Old Madam Li lay in bed for many days without any signs of recovery. Her three daughters-in-law continued to wait on her.

After Gu Yunshuang and Li Fangting left, there was no one to do the work at home. So all the chores and the burden of waiting on Old Madam Li fell on the other three daughters-in-law.

But they were used to Gu Yunshuang waiting on them and they had not done any work for many years. So they were rather slow and clumsy.

Disaster befell the Li family once again!

The oldest daughter-in-law fell into the river while doing the laundry. She was half-frozen and, like her mother-in-law, was unable to get out of bed.

The second daughter-in-law suffered a fall when she got up in the morning to make breakfast. She broke her leg and was also unable to get up.
