My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 161 The Crying Mother-in-Law

Mother Lin was so frightened that she dropped the food box aside, and hurriedly supported her son, screaming, "Son, son, what happened to you?"

Lin Ziqi already had a headache, and his mother's screams stimulated his eardrums, making his head buzz as if someone was hitting it with a sledgehammer.

Qin Siyuan, who was studying hard in his dormitory, was called over. He saw Lin Ziqi lying on the ground with his hands tightly covering his ears, motionless. His clothes were soaked with sweat. Lin's mother was crying and begging everyone to send her son to the hospital.

Qin Siyuan and his two classmates quickly carried the man on their backs. Lin's mother followed behind crying, saying that she didn't want to live if anything happened to her son.

When they arrived at the clinic, the doctor felt Lin Ziqi's pulse but couldn't tell anything. After looking at his tongue and eyelids, he said that there was nothing wrong with Lin Ziqi. He was probably just overheated due to the hot weather and studying too hard, but it was not heatstroke.

The doctor pulled his beard and took a long time to ponder before he wrote a prescription for clearing heat, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves.

Lin's mother didn't pay the money and just kept sobbing.

Qin Siyuan had no choice but to pay for the consultation and medicine first.

Half an hour later, Lin Ziqi slowly woke up.

The pharmacist in the clinic had already boiled the medicine. Mother Lin fed it to her son with her own hands and advised him earnestly, "Ziqi, you must take good care of yourself in the future. You will be taking the imperial examination soon. If something happens to you, won't you waste another three years? I am old and can't bear this."

Lin Ziqi quickly said, "Mom, I will take good care of my health in the future."

After taking the medicine, Lin Ziqi stood up and found that he was moving normally. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing, nothing. I'm just afraid that I'm hot."

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Ziqi coaxed his mother to go home, and he followed Qin Siyuan and others back to the Imperial College.

When Lin's mother reached the alley outside her home, she remembered that the lunch box was left at the gate of the Imperial College, and she hurried back to look for it.

The doorman of the Imperial College said, "The food box has been given to Mr. Lin."

Lin's mother thanked him again and again, but when she returned home, the lights were off and the kitchen was empty, with nothing left for her.

"What's the point of living? I don't want to live anymore," said Lin's mother, who had been running around until so late and hadn't eaten a bite of food or drunk a sip of water. She immediately started crying in the yard.

The yard that Lin Ziqi rented was extremely small, and if the noise was a little loud, the neighbors could hear it.

When Lin's mother started crying, all the neighbors knew about it.

Although it is not appropriate to visit so late, they can lie on the wall and watch the fun.

"Mr. Lin next door's mother is crying again. She has cried countless times since Mr. Lin got married."

"That's right. Mr. Lin is studying in the Imperial College. Mr. Lin doesn't know that his wife is not filial to her mother."

Qin Wan was still very angry.

She originally wanted to go see Lin Ziqi, but was snatched away by Lin's mother, who never came back.

Qin Wan waited and waited but no one showed up. She wondered if Lin's mother had eaten with Lin Ziqi, so she ate her meal by herself. There was still a lot of food left, but because it was hot, it would easily go bad, so she threw it all away.

Not long after I fell asleep angrily, I was woken up by Lin's mother crying. Lin's mother didn't cry in her room, but sat in the yard, sobbing, making it impossible for everyone to sleep.

Qin Wan was extremely angry, but she couldn't scold Lin's mother. She could only think of a way to vent her anger first, then she got up, changed her clothes and asked Lin's mother: "Mother-in-law, why are you crying in the yard? Is there something wrong with Ziqi?"

Mother Lin cried, "Why shouldn't I cry? I have a miserable life. I raised a son who only knows how to study and doesn't know anything else. I worked so hard to go to see my son in the hot summer with a lunch box, but I couldn't bear to hire a car to go back and forth. When I came back, the pot was empty and there was nothing to eat."

Qin Wan asked in surprise: "Didn't Ziqi invite mother-in-law to have dinner with him?"

Mother Lin choked.

If he continues to say this, people will think that his son is unfilial.

She ignored Qin Wan and cried, "My poor son, my poor son, he fell ill because of studying. Not only did he study hard every day, but he also got a fever. I sent my son to the clinic for treatment. Who has time to take care of his meals?"

Qin Wan then realized that Lin Ziqi was ill, and asked anxiously: "What is Ziqi's illness? Is it serious?"

The maid standing next to her understood what she heard and immediately said, "Since the old lady hasn't eaten yet, I'll cook some more rice porridge."

Mother Lin started crying again, "There was a table full of food, but you didn't keep any of it. Do you still have me in your heart?"

Qin Wan tried to coax him all night, but instead of trying to comfort him, she ended up making him angry.

The neighbors leaning on the wall on both sides poked her in the spine, saying that she was unfilial, only caring about her own food and drink, letting her mother-in-law go out to deliver food to her husband, but not even leaving a sip of soup for her mother-in-law.

Qin Wan was so angry that she started crying and shouted that she wanted to go back to her parents' home.

The neighbors on both sides couldn't sleep well after the noisy night, so they attracted the patrol officers from the military patrol, who scolded them through the wall before they finally quieted down.

On the next morning, Lin's mother, who was extremely hungry, got up early to cook. Not only did she only make her own portion, but after eating, she went around complaining to others, saying that there was no point in marrying a daughter-in-law, as she only went back to her parents' home all day and ate all the delicious food by herself. She went to bring food to her son, but when she came back she didn't leave even a bite for him.

In Lin's mother's mouth, Qin Wan is lazy, bad and unfilial.

The maid overheard it and told Qin Wan.

The incident last night was not over yet, and Lin's mother threw dirty water on her again, which made Qin Wan so angry that she chased her away and questioned in front of everyone: "Since I married in, the Lin family's food and clothing all depend on my dowry. When did I go back to my parents' home and not bring you food and daily necessities? You didn't blame me for going back to my parents' home when you were eating and using it, but now you are framing me. I should have used the food money to cook yesterday. I bought the vegetables with my own money and wanted to make some delicious food to send to Ziqi, but you insisted on sending it. When I came back, I had already fallen asleep. Who knew you didn't eat? I waited until the food was almost rotten before I dared to eat it. I threw away the food that I couldn't finish. I was trembling with fear and didn't dare to make any mistakes, and I was scolded by you for not leaving any food. You are torturing me like this, I am afraid you look down on me, it's better for Ziqi to go to the Imperial College to study, and I will go back to my parents' home to live, so I won't bother you anymore."

Qin Wan had lived through her entire life after all, so naturally she had the nerve to make a scene.

Lin's mother couldn't argue with him, so she sat on the ground and cried.

The crowd originally thought that Lin's mother had gone too far, but when they saw her crying so pitifully, they turned to persuade Qin Wan to respect her elders, as it was not easy for Lin's mother to be a widow and raise Mr. Lin.

At this point, Qin Wan finally understood what Cui meant when she said that Lin's mother cried too much and she was afraid that Lin would suffer in the future.

"Mom, I can't live like this anymore. I have to spend money and people but still be despised. Mom, I want to go back to my parents' home to find my mom."

Qin Wan ignored Lin's mother who was crying and shouting, and rushed home with her maid, packing up her jewelry and banknotes and ready to return to the Qin Mansion.
