Ten minutes later, Aunt Mei, Ma Biao, and Mei Lian sat beside the table in the living room. The three of them wore serious expressions.

Mei Lian glanced at her mother-in-law, nervously gripping the hem of her coat. “What should we do now? Should we buy a coffin and then contact the person in charge of the funeral? Should I go inform the witch doctor?”

Ma Biao leaned back in his chair, his face displaying a hint of relief.

Ah Hui was finally gone. To Ma Biao, it felt like a chapter of his troublesome past had finally closed. With Ah Hui dead, he could now start anew.

Seeing her mother-in-law’s silence, Mei Lian was about to ask again when suddenly Aunt Mei slammed the table, startling both Mei Lian and Ma Biao.

“A funeral? We don’t even know how she died yet, and you’re talking about a funeral? Ma Biao, tell me, what did Ye Ling do to Ah Hui?”

Aunt Mei’s words left Ma Biao momentarily stunned. What was his mother implying? Did she suspect Ye Ling of causing Ah Hui’s death?

Ma Biao became agitated. “Mom, what are you thinking? Ah Hui died because she was already on the brink. How could Ye Ling be involved?”

“Come on, that woman hasn’t even married into our family, and you’re already defending her? When Mei Lian and I left, Ah Hui’s condition was the same as yesterday. Why did she suddenly die after Ye Ling saw her?” Aunt Mei’s tone was dark.

“That doesn’t mean Ye Ling killed Ah Hui! ” Ma Biao retorted, growing angry. “Mom, what’s wrong with you? How can you casually accuse someone like this?”

Ma Biao felt that since his mother had hired a witch doctor for Ah Hui, she had become increasingly irrational. Now, she was entertaining such absurd thoughts.

“Why would Ye Ling want to harm Ah Hui? What could she possibly gain from

Aunt Mei sneered, holding the button in her hand. “You may be naive, but I’m not. Even if Ye Ling didn’t kill Ah Hui, her death is undoubtedly connected to Ye

Ling. Moreover, Ah Hui died after taking medicine from the pharmacy. Even if Ye Ling didn’t show up, I’d still confront the pharmacy!”

Ma Biao was utterly speechless. Ah Hui was already on the brink of death. Why did his mother think her death had anything to do with the pharmacy?

Aunt Mei stood up slowly. “Enough,” she said. “Let’s sleep for now. We can discuss this tomorrow.”

Mei Lian, hearing her mother-in-law’s calm tone, couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. There was a dead person in the woodshed, yet her mother-in-law could sleep peacefully?

Seeing Ma Biao still eager to retort, Mei Lian promptly grabbed his arm, shooting him a cautionary glance, signaling him to refrain from further comments.

After Aunt Mei had retreated into the room, Ma Biao anxiously turned to Mei Lian. “Sister-in-law, do you also suspect that Ah Hui’s death is linked to Ye Ling or the pharmacy?”

Mei Lian sighed, casting an odd look at Ma Biao. “Let me ask you, how much money have we spent on Ah Hui’s treatment?”

“What?” Ma Biao fell silent for a moment, then hesitated. “It seems like quite a bit.”

“We’ve practically depleted our savings. You know, hiring a witch doctor doesn’t come cheap.” Mei Lian ran her fingers through her hair. “Now, Ah Hui’s sudden death, happened after she took medicine from the pharmacy and after Ye Ling saw her. Let me tell you, Mom isn’t concerned about how Ah Hui died. She just needs a justification.”

“A justification…” A revelation struck Ma Biao like lightning. He suddenly

comprehended and exclaimed in shock, “Mom is planning to extort money?” Mei Lian paused for a moment. Wasn’t the term “extort money” a bit too harsh?

However, it accurately described the situation.

“I wouldn’t put it as extortion. After all, when Mom and I left this morning, Ah Hui’s condition seemed stable. Her sudden death is indeed peculiar,” Mei Lian’s tone hinted at a trace of skepticism.

In reality, Mei Lian felt that Ah Hui’s physical condition had shown some improvement over the past two days. When she was awake, her eyes weren’t as lifeless as before.

At times, Ah Hui would gaze blankly at the woodshed’s window as if anticipating something.

Observing Ma Biao’s worried expression, Mei Lian reassured him. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to Ye Ling. Mom aims to secure some compensation.

Could she demand Ye Ling’s life? We lack any concrete evidence proving that Ye Ling caused Ah Hui’s death.”

Upon hearing Mei Lian’s words, Ma Biao breathed a sigh of relief..
