After returning home, Xu Ning handed the soy sauce to Qin Xuejuan, he got into his room.

As soon as I entered the room, my gentle face suddenly became serious.

The resentment in her heart and an indescribable sense of shame kept impacting her reason and causing her great pain.

She didn't know what she felt about Xie Zheng before, and it would be a bit shameless if she said she liked her.

Xie Zheng is a sixteen-year-old boy at least, but she has a fifty-year-old soul. An old woman has thought about a young boy. While she feels ashamed, she also has a sense of fear.

It was after this night that Xie Zheng keenly discovered that Xu Ning seemed to have become a little different.

He knows this difference, it is a sense of distance.

Even if she concealed herself very well.

Calm but different days were passing slowly like flowing water. With less than half a month left before the final exam, something happened to the Xu family that seemed to be gentle and quiet.

At around 2 o'clock that afternoon, some people saw Qin Xuejuan rushing out of the duty room with a solemn expression and ran out regardless of her demeanor.

"Juan'er, you are..."

Several women from the same village who knew Qin Xuejuan saw her like this and wanted to stop her and ask her what she was doing when she ran by, but found that Qin Xuejuan didn't even pay attention to it and passed by.

"What's going on? Jianjun's wife ran so fast?"

"Who knows, maybe I received a call that was important."

"Did you think she called her home? Now many educated youth have returned to the city. Jianjun's wife has been in our village for more than ten years and has never been back once, so she feels a bit unreasonable."

"What's the matter? Whoever dares to let her go back easily if she doesn't come back?"

"That's right, Aunt Xu is not easy."

Qin Xuejuan didn't care what others said at all. She just rushed into the door and headed straight to Chunhua's room.

"Mom..." Qin Xuejuan gasped when she saw her mother-in-law sitting on the kang embroidered insoles.

"What are you doing? You're so panting? A wolf chases you from behind?" Yu Chunhua frowned. Of course, this is also the surface. She has lived with Qin Xuejuan for more than ten years. She still knows the temperament of this wife very well. "What happened?"

Qin Xuejuan tried hard to calm down her breath and said intermittently: "The Liu family called, saying yes... said my second sister is gone."

"..." Yu Chunhua felt that she didn't understand and pulled her ears, "What did you say?"

"The Liu family just called and said that my second sister was gone. She encountered a car accident in the city and died before she was sent to the hospital." Qin Xuejuan said with a gloomy face, "I have called Jianjun. He should be on the way now."

"What, what?" Yu Chunhua's heart seemed to stop beating suddenly, her head was confused, as if the surroundings had become silent, "My daughter... is gone?"

Qin Xuejuan looked at her mother-in-law's condition and took two steps forward to sit down on the old wooden chair beside her, for fear that her mother-in-law would be able to persuade her quickly.

Yu Chunhua was frozen at this time. She should be sad when she heard the bad news, but she felt that her heart and brain suddenly became empty. She didn't know what to do, nor did she know what to say or think about. She kept thinking about it in her mind, but it seemed that she didn't think about anything.

The next moment, turbid tears slid down from their eyes.

"Mom!" Qin Xuejuan was shocked and sad. After all, in the past ten years she married Xu Jianjun, she had only seen Xu Chunmei for a few times. After meeting, she had no topics to talk about with her elder sister-in-law. It would be a bit pretentious to talk about the depth of the relationship. To put it bluntly, except that she is her husband's second sister, she actually has no feelings for her at all. Now she suddenly makes her feel sad, and she can't do it.

However, the two emotions of regret and shock are real. After all, I only met this elder sister-in-law last month, and it was gone after more than a month when people said nothing.

"Why... it's gone." Yu Chunhua muttered a few times in her throat. Although her daughter rarely comes back after marriage, she knows that she is still living safely, which is better than anything else. When she suddenly hears this bad news, she can't stop her tears, but she still feels unbelievable.

Qin Xuejuan held her mother-in-law's rough hand and whispered: "I received a call from my second sister's brother-in-law in the duty room, saying that the police came to the door to tell them the news. Now my second sister is still lying in the hospital, and the Liu family asked us to go to the city tomorrow to meet them at the entrance of the hospital, and then I will send my second sister back."

According to the funeral ceremony here, the deceased must be parked at home for three days, and then placed in the coffin for burial.

In this era, perhaps the city had the concept of cremation after death, but in the rural areas of their countryside, there was no cremation yet, and it was usually just after the spirit was stopped and they were buried directly in the soil.

Obviously, Xu Chunmei was going to be buried directly in the Liu family's cemetery.

But things will be a little troublesome after this.

Xu Jianjun said to the director and ran back on his bike. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Chunhua crying.

"I'm back." Qin Xuejuan looked at her husband, stood up and signaled him to comfort her mother-in-law. After all, she was always separated by a layer, and she couldn't say anything intimate with her mother-in-law on weekdays.

Xu Jianjun nodded at his wife and stepped forward to sit next to the old lady.

"Mom, just cry if you are sad." He said softly, afraid that the loud volume would scare her.

He was naturally sad, but after all, a big man could not just say it, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Yu Chunhua raised her hand and wiped her tears, stared at her son with scarlet eyes and said, "Go and call and ask what's going on."

"I'll go now." Xu Jianjun got up and ran out.

Although he asked once in the office, he was also in a daze and always felt that he had heard it wrong.

That afternoon, people chatting or working outside in the village saw Qin Xuejuan finish running, and Xu Jianjun started running again, which really aroused the gossip of many people. There were a few curious people who would quip their voices and joke, but they didn't get the other party's response. They could only pout and continue to do the work in their hands.

When Xu Ning returned home, he immediately found that the atmosphere at home was very wrong.

"What's wrong? This is?" She put down her schoolbag and came to the old lady's room. Her parents were here to accompany the old lady in silence.

Seeing her coming back, Xu Jianjun and his wife looked up at their daughter, but the old lady still lowered her head, as if she was entering a meditation. If she hadn't had her expression very haggard, Xu Ning might not have thought about it too seriously.

Her grandmother is a very strong woman. She can't be so despaired by ordinary things, but what happened?

Qin Xuejuan got up and pulled Xu Ning out, whispered in her ear: "Your aunt, she left in a car accident."

"..." Xu Ning was shocked.
