Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 559

Chapter 559: Suspicious Death
Outside the door, Father Su and Mother Su looked at each other distressingly. Their daughter has a high fever and has not woken up for two days. But their son-in-law still does this kind of thing. Wouldn’t this be equivalent to killing their daughter?

Although both of them were worried about their daughter, there was nothing they could do at the moment. Because they still needed Da Gao’s support, they could only close their eyes and return to their rooms as if they knew nothing.

As the sky gradually darkened, Da Gao finally walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water to clean his wife’s body.

When he returned from the kitchen and walked past Grandma’s room, he smelled the stench in the air and frowned. He put the basin on the table and opened the door. The moment the door was opened, a very bad smell assaulted his nose, making him almost vomit on the spot.

He covered his nose with his sleeves and walked closer to the Kang bed. When he saw his grandma’s face, he was shocked and shouted, “Ah, ghost!”

Looking at the skeleton-like body on the bed, he stretched out his trembling hands to check his grandma’s breathing. When he put his fingers under Grandma Gao’s nose, he couldn’t feel any breath at all. He was shocked, took back his hand and looked at his grandma’s condition.

In addition to her lower body being covered in dried yellow stains, her collar and chest were also stained with water marks, possibly her saliva. Her dried, yellow hair was messy and her hands were clenched tightly on her side. Looking at his grandma’s wide open eyes, Da Gao could feel the resentment hidden in those dull eyes.

As he stood motionless beside the Kang bed, a cold wind blew past his neck. Da Gao felt a chill running down his spine instantly. He turned around and ran outside the house, shouting, “Help! Someone please save my grandma!”

Because of his shouting, Father Su and Mother Su were alarmed and they walked out of the room in shock. They quickly went to Grandma Gao’s room to check the situation. Seeing her look, both of them almost vomited on the spot.

Thinking that if others saw it, their daughter’s reputation as a vicious daughter-in-law would spread, the two looked at each other with tacit understanding. The next moment, Father Su went to get a basin of water that Da Gao left on the table, while Mother Su quickly opened the window to ventilate the room. Then, she opened the cabinet and took out a set of clean clothes, bedding, and two towels.

Due to limited time, Father Su ignored etiquette and helped his wife undress Grandma Gao. After changing the bedding, they helped Grandma Gao clean up and change her clothes.

Not long after they finished putting clothes on Grandma Gao, they heard a voice coming from outside. Since there was no time, Father Su and Mother Su quickly took the basin of water, dirty clothes, and bedding and went to the backyard to take care of it.

After they threw away the water, they placed the clothes and bedding near the chicken coop and spread hay over them. In this way, no one will know Grandma Gao’s living condition before she dies.

The two of them had just finished washing their hands when they heard Han Yuheng’s voice coming from the front yard, “Da Gao, what’s wrong? Why did your grandma die suddenly?”

Because Grandpa Chen’s sudden death was suspicious, rumors spread in their village that there was a murderer hiding in Xie village. Due to this rumor, the situation in the village was tense and the villagers were uneasy. Han Yuheng wanted to report the matter to the authorities, but the Chen family refused to cooperate.

Since the family of the deceased refused, he had no choice but canceled his plan. Now, upon hearing the news of Grandma Gao’s death, he rushed over to check on the situation. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled an unbearable stench and immediately covered his nose.

“Da Gao, what’s going on with this stink?” he asked.

“Team leader Han, my grandma can’t move at all and can only urinate and defecate on the bed.” Da Gao said with a hint of guilt.

When he ran out just now, he didn’t think about the consequences. Now that Han Yuheng is here, the villagers may have noticed that his grandmother died because he didn’t take care of her or feed her.

Although he had a bad reputation before, after getting married, he worked hard and the villagers’ impression of him became better and better. If they found out that he abused his grandma until she died, they might kick him out of the village like what happened to his brother.

Thinking of this, he quickly stopped Han Yuheng and said, “Team leader, my grandma’s situation is very messy. How about you wait a moment while I clean her up first?”

Hearing this, Han Yuheng narrowed his eyes suspiciously and said, “No need. It’s better for me to go check on the situation first. You can clean your grandma later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Da Gao away and walked into the room. When he saw Grandma Gao’s face, he was startled. He looked around and didn’t find anything suspicious except that Grandma Gao was thin and malnourished. But considering her illness, it’s normal for her to be like this.

Since there was nothing suspicious, he left the house and took a deep breath. He almost threw up as soon as he entered, now breathing the fresh air, he finally felt alive. He had no idea how Da Gao and his family could tolerate the smell.

Seeing him striding out of the room, Da Gao followed him and said, “Team Leader, my grandma…”

Before he finished speaking, Han Yuheng turned around and said, “I will give you a day off tomorrow. You can prepare for your grandma’s funeral with ease. I’m sorry for your loss.”
