Mother 91 (Second update)_2

Gu Yan died of a heart attack, and Madame Yao might have been unable to bear the shock of her son's death, dying either of illness or by suicide.

With the loss of her dear mother and brother, the dream-self was like a rootless duckweed, holding aloof the title of the Marquis Residence's lady, but living like an outsider.

"Jiaojiao!"

A little monk came in aggrievedly with his injured finger held high.

Gu Jiao came back to her senses and turned to look at the little monk. "What's wrong?"

The little monk walked up to her and showed her his bleeding index finger, "I got hurt."

Gu Jiao took his index finger and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

"I hurt it cracking walnuts." the little monk declared sullenly.

The walnuts were brought back from the marketplace by Gu Jiao. Some people exchanged vegetables for her mountain goods, some exchanged eggs for her mountain goods. She was usually too lazy to bother, sometimes she herself was frightened by the things she brought back.
