"Pah! You good-for-nothing! If you fell into my hands, I'd break your legs!" Yang Shi, who had been kicked out, kept cursing. First she cursed Old Madam Xu, then Fu Man'er, until her mouth was dry before she reluctantly stopped.

By this time, they had almost reached home. Unlike Old Lady Xu's house, hers was located by the main road in the village. It was a large house made of adobe bricks and blue bricks, and it looked bright and spacious.

Just as I was about to enter my house, I saw Dr. Li from the village coming out of the Wang family's house next door. "Dr. Li, what's going on at the Wang family's house?"

Dr. Li didn't say much, just that he was sick, and then walked away with his medicine box on his back.

Since there was nothing to do at home, Yang decided to go to the Wang family's house to see what was going on. Although the two families were neighbors, they were separated by a small path. The Wang family used to be alright, but now they were not much better off than Old Lady Xu's family.

But that's perfect, since Mrs. Yang likes things that aren't as good as hers.

"Da Ya, Da Ya." The gate to the Wang family's courtyard was not closed, and Yang called out as she walked in.

The yard was a mess, a complete mess, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. It wasn't even as tidy as the Xu family's dilapidated yard.

There were clumps of chicken droppings on the ground, and just as Yang was about to leave, worried about getting her shoes dirty, Niu Daya came out of the house.

I was quite surprised to see the Yang family, since the two families had no contact and would only nod to each other at most when they met.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Auntie?" Niu Daya asked.

"What could be wrong? I just came to your house for some fun," Yang said with a smile. "I just saw Doctor Li leaving your house, so I came over to ask if he caught a chill these past few days?"

Niu Daya's eyes flashed. "Ah? Yes, it's because of the cold weather, with wind and rain, that Sanbao caught a cold."

Yang was just making things up, but she didn't expect Niu Daya to continue. She must have caught a cold. That's pointless.

"You must be careful, catching a cold is very uncomfortable. Auntie is going home now." After saying that, Yang turned around and walked home.

Niu Daya waited until she left and locked the door before going inside. "Ahem, Daya, who was it?" Wang Sanbao, lying on the bed, asked.

“I wonder what that old woman from the Xu family next door is up to.” Niu Daya sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Wang Sanbao with concern. “Take your medicine later and you’ll feel better.”

Ever since Wang Sanbao returned from the back mountain that day, he had been in a daze and had been lying in bed for several days. At first, Niu Daya thought he was being lazy again and cursed him.

It wasn't until yesterday, when I noticed Wu Sanbao's unusual complexion, that I realized something was wrong. I called a doctor to examine him, who said it was a case of wind-cold entering the body.

Although Wang Sanbao was not physically strong, he was a healthy man. Now he was lying in bed, so weak that he had difficulty even getting out of bed.

“It must be that jinx, that jinx.” Niu Daya’s face contorted with malice as she thought of something, her eyes filled with venom. “Killing her would be too good for her. Sanbao, do you think we should go to the back mountain and burn her down so that her bad luck won’t follow us?”

Mentioning the back mountain again, Wang Sanbao's face turned pale with fright. He waved his hands repeatedly, "Da Ya, that girl is dead. Let's not cause any more trouble. Let's save our energy to enjoy our retirement."

Niu Daya just blurted things out, and when she asked him to go to the back mountain, he dared not go again—it was too dangerous.

Fearing she wouldn't give up, Wang Sanbao came up with an idea: "Since the person is already gone, let's just pretend she never existed. Throw away what that brat used to have, and for the rest, when the master comes, have him perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits."

"Alright." Wang Sanbao came down from the back mountain like this, but Niu Daya was still a little scared, afraid that the dead girl's spirit would come looking for her.

"Heaven took that short-lived ghost; even in death, he won't find peace." After cursing a few times, Niu Daya felt a little better.

Wang Sanbao felt a headache coming on and sent her away, saying, "Go and brew me some medicine."

Just as she put the medicine pot on the fire, someone knocked on the courtyard gate again. "Who is it?" Niu Daya asked loudly, her tone impatient.

"It's me," the person outside the door replied.

"Who are you? You, you, you! Don't you know how to say your name? Do you think I know who you are?" Niu Daya was furious and spoke very aggressively as she opened the door while cursing.

As soon as the door opened, she saw an old man with a twitching mouth. Niu Daya felt a pang of regret and quickly welcomed him in, "Master Tianxuan, you've arrived! Please come in."

Master Tianxuan glanced at her, picked up the signboard in his hand, and strode inside with his head held high.

Niu Daya breathed a sigh of relief. The masters were definitely a bit temperamental. She was afraid that the chosen master would turn around and leave. Fortunately, the chosen master didn't mind.

After inviting the man to sit down, Niu Daya took out some tea leaves from her home, put them in a large bowl, poured hot water over them, and presented it to Master Tianxuan, saying, "Master, please have some tea."

Hearing the commotion outside, Wang Sanbao came out, leaning against the door frame. Niu Daya quickly went to help him, saying, "Sit down, I'll get you another coat."

Master Tianxuan was quite surprised to see Wang Sanbao's appearance. "It's only been a few days, and young friend Wang's health has already been damaged?"

Wang Sanbao looked at the chosen master with excitement. The master was indeed amazing; he had seen through it. "Master, you've come at just the right time! My body was ruined by that calamity."

Niu Daya just came out with the clothes and launched into another tirade, accusing the jinx of being a harbinger of misfortune. Her words were vicious, but the chosen master remained unmoved, thinking to himself that the harsher the curse, the better.

"I have come here today to resolve this matter for the two of you." Master Tianxuan raised his head and stroked his beard, looking quite like a master.

"Master, we have done as you said. What should we do next to completely sever ties with that jinx?" Niu Daya sat next to Wang Sanbao, looking at the chosen master with anticipation.

This stumped the Chosen Master. "Do as I say? What did I say?" He couldn't recall ever asking them to do anything.

"It means getting rid of the jinx, not letting her stay in our house." Niu Daya remembered clearly that if the Wang family wanted good fortune, they had to get rid of that wretched girl, otherwise they would keep having bad luck and would never be able to make a fortune.

Seeing the two of them looking for praise and recognition, Master Tianxuan felt a bad premonition, but he suppressed it and said, "Where is that girl? Bring her over so I can see her."

Niu Daya and Wang Sanbao exchanged a glance, their nervousness quickly disappearing. "That girl has already been sent away as you said, Master. She's not at my house anymore." Niu Daya tried her best to sound natural, but she didn't even dare to look the chosen master in the eye.

"What? You sent him away?" The Chosen Master, overwhelmed with surprise, suddenly stood up, completely unaware of Niu Daya's subtle movements.
