The day before yesterday, Lai Jinniang's eldest son, Zhou Fugui, was arrested by the magistrate's office for adulterating medicinal herbs. This time, even his brother-in-law could not save him. The pharmacy was closed down, and he was bankrupt for real.
Two days ago, her youngest son, Zhou Fuchun, was hit by a carriage in the county city and almost lost his life. In the end, although he survived, his legs were broken. He even lost his ability to have children.
In the past few days, the Old Zhou family's mental state and physical condition had been deteriorating. All of them were sickly. In his anger, Old Zhou became bedridden.
When the Old Zhou family first started to have trouble, there were villagers who were present at the time and knew the story that the pearl would bring bad luck to those who lusted for it. They laughed and said that the Old Zhou family had indeed started to experience bad luck because of the pearl.
