Chapter 222 Zhou jumped into the well
Three days after Lu Ziwei's return visit, the Lu family began to get busy preparing for the old man's 60th birthday.
This time, Zhou simply became a hands-off boss.
She took charge of her mother-in-law's birthday party, spent countless money and put in all the effort, but what she got was that her mother-in-law and the second wife conspired to plot against her daughter.
It was her father-in-law's birthday party now, and she didn't want to take care of it, so she let Wang take care of it.
After all, she and Wang are of the same generation and are both daughters-in-law.
After so many years, it's her turn.
I didn’t want to care about it before, but now I don’t want to let the second house get any cheaper.
Wang refused to agree at all. She would not do such a thing that would cost money and effort but would not get any benefits. Do you think she is stupid?
Especially this time, Zhou has clearly stated that the money for the birthday banquet must come from the second wife, and the first wife will not contribute a penny.
After all, the second branch didn't pay a penny for Mrs. Zhu's birthday party.
Therefore, such a proposal is fair, just, and reasonable. Even if it is brought to the attention of the King of Hell, the eldest wife will be in the right.
Now Wang was even more annoyed. An old man who was about to die wanted to spend her money. It was impossible.
Why hold a birthday party? It would be easier to just die. Those two old bastards.
Wang was filled with resentment, and after seeing her crazy son, she hated the first wife even more.
So, Wang and Zhou had a complete fight. Either they didn't do it, or the eldest wife had to pay. It was impossible to get money from her!
No matter who tries to persuade her, she always says two words: no money!!!
After the two of them were in a stalemate for a few days, neither of them mentioned holding a birthday party anymore, which was considered as a tacit agreement not to hold a birthday party for the old man.
The old man also got excited. Why should the old woman have such a grand celebration but not him?
The old man went on a hunger strike to force his two sons to surrender. Not only did he want to do it, but he also wanted to do it more gloriously than the old woman.
Zhou never gave in. She couldn't let the second wife and her in-laws control her whole life.
If her parents-in-law really think she is unfilial, then just divorce her.
How could Lu Jingming be willing to divorce his wife for his foolish parents, so he was not enthusiastic about holding a birthday party.
Let Dad starve if he wants to. He can't stand any hardship. He might even eat secretly at night. There is no way he will starve himself to death.
The stalemate lasted for a few days, and Lu Shunxin finally stood up like a man and promised to pay for his father's birthday party.
No matter how reluctant Wang was, she had no choice but to agree.
Zhou was quite happy and relaxed. It was the first time she experienced the feeling of being a hands-off boss. It was so comfortable.
On the day of the old man's birthday party, there were still many guests. Wang tried her best to accept gifts, hoping to earn back all the money she spent.
Su Yujiao followed Lu Ziqian to the Lu family.
It’s not that she wants to go to her ex-husband’s house all day long. This time it’s because Zhou is not feeling well.
Lu Ziqian said that Zhou had diarrhea for no apparent reason since yesterday.
Sometimes you think you are farting but it turns out to be diarrhea. This is still a good thing as it can be cleaned up in time.
What’s even more terrifying is that sometimes some oily liquid with a foul odor will flow out without any feeling.
Zhou suffered from incontinence and thought she had some terminal illness. She was so scared that she couldn't sleep the whole night.
He asked his son to go to the courtyard in the east of the city to invite Su Yujiao early.
Unfortunately, she went out of town for business and had been away for two or three days.
As a result, Zhou did not dare to show up all day, for fear of making a fool of herself in front of the guests, so she simply claimed to be sick and avoided seeing anyone.
When Su Yujiao and Lu Ziqian arrived at the Lu family, the birthday banquet was almost over.
The two did not dare to delay and went to the backyard immediately. Naturally, they were accompanied by Lu Jingming and the eldest wife's children and daughter-in-law.
Old Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Wang also insisted on going with them to take a look.
Lu Jingming frowned, feeling that they had ill intentions, especially Wang's gloating expression, which made it clear that she was just there to watch the show.
"Mom, please don't go. Entertain the guests in the front yard."
Old Zhu frowned, her triangular eyes squinting: "Humph, what are you feeling guilty about?"
"I want to see whether she is really sick or faking it."
"Could it be that you are pretending to be sick because you don't want to fulfill your filial duties?"
Lu Jingming felt inexplicably annoyed when listening to what his mother said. Why did everything she said sound so unpleasant?
"What's your trick? Why are you stopping me?"
Since Old Mrs. Zhu was shouting like this, Lu Jingming couldn't stop her anymore, otherwise she would just become more unreasonable.
Wang pretended to be filial and always supported old Zhu.
A group of people arrived at Zhou's bedroom. There was no maid guarding the door and the lights in the room were very dim.
Lu Jingming felt strange and called out, but there was no response from Zhou. Instead, there was a sudden sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Lu Jingming thought Zhou was in danger and pushed the door open.
As a result, I saw Zhou sitting on the edge of the bed with disheveled hair, hurriedly buttoning her clothes and tidying up her hair.
The moment the door opened, a white butt jumped out of the window...
At first glance, it looks like a scene of catching an adulterer!
Everyone was stunned, even forgetting to react. Only Wang screamed loudly: "Oh my God! Sister-in-law, you actually stole a man!"
"Come quickly, catch that adulterer!"
Lu Ziqian reacted and kicked Wang in the mouth, knocking her unconscious.
Then came Old Zhu's loud and high-pitched cry: "Someone, take this shameless..."
Lu Ziqian quickly pressed the mute point on Old Zhu.
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Zhou pushed the crowd away in shame and anger, rushed out of the yard, and jumped into the well with a plop.
"mother!"
"lady!"
The jump was so fast that no one had time to react.
Lu Ziqian was the first to react and jumped into the well as well.
Su Yujiao shouted: "Quickly get the rope and save people!"
Jumping into a well is much more dangerous than jumping into a river. The river is spacious and you can swim without sinking.
The well wall is narrow and smooth, and there is no space to swim if you fall in. What's more, two people are squeezed together, which is even more dangerous.
Lu Jingming reacted and immediately threw the rope down.
Su Yujiao took the opportunity to hide in the room, traveled back to the modern era and bought a set of professional ropes, including steel wire ropes, waist ropes, and hooks.
Sure enough, Zhou had no strength, and even if she threw the rope down, she couldn't hold it tightly.
What's more, she had no will to live and didn't want to be rescued at all.
Also, because she couldn't swim, her body kept sinking, and Lu Ziqian could only dive underwater to hold her up.
Su Yujiao looked at Lu Ziqian struggling to hold Zhou up underwater, and felt a moment of worry. He was really filial.
"Mom, I know there must be a misunderstanding. I believe in your innocence."
"You come up first. You can't die in vain, and you can't let your loved ones grieve while your enemies rejoice."
"Ziqian is almost out of strength. He is your child. Can you bear to let him die saving you?"
When Zhou heard this, her rationality instantly returned and she stopped struggling.
She couldn't kill her own child!
I deserve to die, but my son is innocent!
She can't be so selfish!
