Chapter 598: Chapter 598 Self-Inflicted Woe (4)_1

She wasn’t electrocuted, she was strangled...with an electric wire!

Based on the current date, she died two months after the Ruanlin Family’s death next year. Before she died, she had realized something was off about that "Ruan Jiaojiao," but "Ruan Jiaojiao" didn’t give her a chance to think it over, strangling her with an electric wire that very day.

As for the electrocution that Ruan Jiaojiao spoke of, it was probably a ruse staged by that "Ruan Jiaojiao."

She even suspected that the deaths of Ruan Qun, Ruan Chi, and possibly even the Ruanlin Family were related to them noticing that something was amiss.

However, all these events were in the past, and they wouldn’t happen in the future. Because they were too gruesome and terrifying, she never spoke in detail about the cause of her own death.

She couldn’t care less about anything else, she picked up Ruan Jiaojiao and went back to the Ruanlin Family’s room first: "Jiaojiao, Mom wasn’t electrocuted, don’t be afraid, okay? All those things are in the past, and they won’t happen again, you know?"

Ruan Jiaojiao took a deep breath, then nodded her head, but still hugged Shu Jiao’s neck and nuzzled in her arms.

In a very soft and tiny voice, she said, "Mom, Jiaojiao actually stopped blaming you a long time ago, Jiaojiao loves you, loves you very much."

"Mhm." Shu Jiao choked up and responded, pressing her daughter’s head against her chest so she wouldn’t see her reddened eyes.

That evening, Ruan Jiaojiao was supposed to sleep with the Ruanlin Family, but after what happened, Shu Jiao took her back to the upstairs room to sleep with her.

Ruan Jian|guo came back almost at dawn.

By that time Ruan Jiaojiao had already fallen asleep, and it was the Ruanlin Family who got up to open the door. Looking at Ruan Jian|guo, who was filled with a chill, she said, "There’s some hot water boiled in the kitchen, you should soak your feet before you go to sleep."

After saying that, she then asked, "How is she?"

"Not good, her life is saved, but both her hands are ruined." For a woman of the farm, her hands were more precious than anything. Having both hands ruined meant she was basically useless now...

"How exactly did she get electrocuted?"

"Xiu Jianlin didn’t say, who knows what that couple was thinking." Ruan Jian|guo was also at a loss. He had taken her to the hospital and even paid several chunks of emergency fees. When asked how exactly she was electrocuted, Xiu Jianlin’s mouth was clamped shut like a clamshell, completely unpryable.

When she was finally pushed out of the emergency room and it was confirmed that there was no threat to her life, he came home first.

"Well, go wash up and sleep, don’t stay up too late." The Ruanlin Family said indifferently, although whether she lived or died was none of her concern, if she had died after their car had transported her, it would have truly been bad luck. Naturally, she hoped she would survive.

Thinking of this, she went back to the room to find a piece of red cloth, came out, and asked Ruan Jian|guo to tie it on the hook of the rear carriage, to ward off bad luck.

Even if Xiu Jianlin kept silent and refused to tell, the fellow villagers who came to check on his house the next day could still guess roughly what had happened. Early the next morning, Tianyi called someone to inspect it, thinking it was a main switch trip or something, only to be informed that the whole village’s electrical circuit had been burnt out, causing the power outage, and even the Ruan Family’s color TV might have been damaged.

Upon receiving this news, the villagers naturally went to Xiu Jianlin’s house to look into the situation. Seeing the wet clothes tangled with the electric wires, yet to be tidied up, they were all furiously cursing.

Who would pay for the repair costs of the burnt-out circuits?!

Now with the year’s end approaching, even those who usually skimped on using electric lights would switch them on for a while at this time. But now, with the circuits burnt out, it was not just inconvenient, but there was also the cost of repairs to consider.
