The person who hanged themselves, because the rope tightened around the throat, caused rapid congestion and swelling there.

At this moment, even if the heart has stopped, performing CPR is not very effective.

Because after the throat becomes congested and swollen, the airway is blocked by this swelling, preventing air from entering.

Modern medicine can use methods like performing a tracheotomy and using a ventilator, but here it’s not possible.

Everyone was waiting nervously.

At this time, a relative of the Shen Family came upstairs.

Just stood at the doorway, silently watching.

After watching for a while, he silently went downstairs again.

Once downstairs, he called the family, lifted the engagement cakes and gifts, and headed out through the side door.

Yingzi’s actions were undoubtedly a hard slap in the face for the Shen Family.

However, the Shen Family was not in a position to make a fuss right now; after all, there had been a death in the family.

Yingzi looked like she might not be saved.

The rice shop wasn’t too far either.

As these people carried the things back, the Shen father and son were shocked.

"Wasn’t it agreed that today was the big engagement? Why are the things being carried back?" Mr. Shen asked.

The Shen family’s relative replied irritably, "The girl hanged herself at home, what kind of engagement can there be?!"

A bucket fell from Shen Quan’s hands, and he sprinted toward Renxin Hall.

The door leading to the back from the store was closed.

Only Liu Zhu, Ah Er, and a sitting Doctor Pan were in the shop.

Seeing Shen Quan rush toward the back door, Liu Zhu quickly put down the steelyard and came over, saying, "The door is locked from the inside, you can’t get through."

Shen Quan then ran outside, and upon looking around, he saw the side door was still open.

The Shen Family had opened the side door themselves, and after coming out, they had only left it slightly ajar.

Shen Quan went around into the courtyard and went upstairs.

He knew that Yingzi lived upstairs.

While working at the rice shop, he often stared dreamily at that window.

When he reached the door to Yingzi’s room, he saw a few people with their backs to the door, seemingly all looking down at the floor.

Shen Quan saw Yingzi’s two feet on the ground through the gap.

He pushed past Zhang Shun and Ah Tie at the door, and the sight nearly made him cry out in shock.

Yingzi lay stiffly on the ground, with some bloody, viscous stuff smeared on her neck.

Yun Jiao turned around and saw Shen Quan at this moment.

She had probably seen this tall and well-built young man from the Shen family’s rice shop from a distance a few times. He appeared honest and simple-minded.

The young man’s eyes were filled with an unmistakable sadness.

Guihua, seeing Shen Quan, covered her mouth and wept silently.

This marriage, when the Shen Family came to propose, Yingzi didn’t want it once she heard about it.

However, Guihua and Lao Jiu thought it over carefully and considered that this match for Yingzi would be hard to find, even with a lantern.

The Shen Family owned the rice shop, and they were well-off.

Shen Quan was the eldest son of the rice shop, destined to inherit it.

Moreover, Shen Quan was tall, simple-minded, and very fond of Yingzi. If Yingzi married him, she would be close to her maternal home, an ideal situation.

Guihua didn’t heed Yingzi this time. She had firmly told Yingzi that marriage was subject to parental orders and the words of a matchmaker.

When she got married, her family had her marry Yingzi’s father, and she did. It wasn’t up to a girl to agree or disagree.

Yingzi quarreled with her about this several times afterwards, each time ending on bad terms.

After the small engagement was set, Shen Quan frequently came over to Renxin Hall.

Sometimes he helped Lao Jiu chop wood, and other times he helped Guihua with chores.

Guihua grew more fond of this son-in-law the more she looked at him.
