Chapter 37 My Fierce Wife

Huang Zhaodi denied it: "I didn't!"

"I went to the outhouse, I saw it, I..." She looked up and stared blankly at the house.

What happened?

"My home....."

Ji Jianguo: "Our house has been burned down! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill my family?"

"Everyone almost burned to death, you know that?"

Huang Zhaodi shook her head as she looked at her house, which was burned beyond living conditions: "Waaah, it was all Wang Dami's doing."

"She avenged Ji Huaizhi!"

“She’s here for revenge, I saw her.” She hugged Ji Shichui’s leg: “Gray jacket, two thick braids, her eyes and eyebrows look exactly like Ji Huaizhi’s.”

"I'm telling the truth, she burned down our house, and I'm going to dig up her grave!"

"You must believe me!"

“I really saw it.”

"Shut up!" the village chief shouted angrily, and everyone around believed him. All the old and outdated things were smashed, for fear that the rumors would affect the village in the end.

"Huang Zhaodi, you deliberately set fire to your home, but you accidentally burned it down. You've made such a big mistake, and you still want to pin the blame on someone who's been dead for years?"

Huang Zhaodi wanted to argue, because she really saw it: "Will-o'-the-wisp..."

“I saw the will-o’-the-wisp, it’s blue.”

As she spoke, she clutched her chest and fell backward. The village chief rubbed his face; he was truly at his wit's end.

It's so late at night. Everyone has worked on the farm all day, and they'll have to keep working tomorrow.

Who would want to listen to their stories here?

"What do we do now? Send him to the hospital or..." he asked Ji Shichui.

Ji Jianguo called out "Dad" before he spoke:

"Never mind, she almost killed everyone in the family. Now everything is burned down, and there's no money to save them."

"Let's see if she can wake up on her own."

Ji Shichui looked at the village chief: "Village chief, you can't just abandon us. We've burned everything to ashes."

His voice choked up as he said this.

Jianguo's wife held the child and cried. The two men also cried, but Ji Jianhua cried the most and was the most hurt.

The village chief sighed, "You can settle in at the warehouse tonight, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

As she spoke, she looked at the chattering villagers and said, "Tonight, Huang Zhaodi was out of her mind and tried to set fire to her stepson's house, but she ended up burning down her own house instead."

"Don't play the fool and shirk responsibility. Don't let me hear any nonsense about demons and monsters tomorrow, or you'll just be bringing shame and trouble to our village!"

"Do you understand?"

"knew!"

"I understand, I understand, that's exactly what the village chief said. Wang Dami is impossible, absolutely impossible."

The village chief glared at the man and brought it up again.

Ji Shichui's lips moved slightly as he looked towards Ji Huaizhi's courtyard.

Is it really rice?

But she's been dead for many years, and to be honest, he can hardly remember what she looks like anymore.

Although the village chief warned the villagers, everyone believed that Huang Zhaodi was telling the truth.

Because Huang Zhaodi went insane the next day.

A madman, who said all sorts of things, went straight to Wang Dami's grave and kowtowed there for a whole day.

They're bleeding.

This made others find it even more unbelievable.

But people only dared to talk about it in private.

Ji Shichui wanted Ji Huaizhi to come back, but he didn't know where to find him. He thought of asking Feng Qiaoxiang in the next village where she worked.

I didn't expect to break my leg as soon as I left the village.

Because they had no money, Ji Jianguo and Ji Jianshe couldn't bear to take him to the hospital.

After all, no one is willing to lend them money now, even if they ask.

Now, one of them is mentally ill and the other is disabled; the villagers say they're suffering even more retribution.

The two brothers were about to go find Ji Huaizhi when Ji Shichui stopped them, saying it was all retribution and that the man wouldn't let them disturb him.

Otherwise, something else will happen.

Although the two brothers said they didn't believe it, they didn't dare to go at all.

They didn't even dare to move into Ji Huaizhi's house.

The Ji family is now living a miserable life. Ji Jianhua has also been burned, fortunately not seriously, but because he did not receive timely treatment, he has developed an infection.

Since no one in her family could take care of her, she simply found someone herself and married them.

She went directly to their door but didn't get anything done, fearing that she might be implicated and get into trouble, mainly because she felt resentful.

He resented Huang Zhaodi for setting the fire, and he resented Ji Shichui for not saving him.

Now, her two older brothers are only thinking about using her to exchange for dowry money to build a house.

Since that's the case, you might as well marry yourself off.

The two women were so angry at how their lives had turned out that they went straight back to their parents' home, cursing their husbands, their in-laws, their sister-in-law for being so selfish at a time like this, and their older brother and sister-in-law who lived in the city.

Jianguo's wife was worried about the children and took them with her, while Jianshe's wife didn't even take the children with her.

The two brothers were so angry they were at their wits' end.

In the end, the only option is to mortgage the land to borrow money. If the money cannot be repaid, the land will belong to someone else.

Everyone thought Ji Huaizhi would return to the village, since he would be there to collect the goods, and the Ji family thought so too.

The two brothers just wanted their elder brother to help them out, but they didn't expect that the person who came to collect the goods was Wang Xiaoer. When he went to Ji Huaizhi's house to rest and check the house, the door opened very easily.

When Ji Jianguo saw Wang Xiaoer, he only said, "I really saw a ghost," and didn't dare to go forward.

Upon hearing that a house could be built, Jianguo Construction's wife returned home.

However, Huang Zhaodi and Ji Shichui are not having a good time now. Their son and daughter-in-law don't care about them at all and have started to dislike them. Ji Shichui is only suffering from some cold words and disdain.

Huang Zhaodi was about to be beaten and scolded. Her mind was sometimes good and sometimes bad. She was locked in the pigsty next to the outhouse, where she ate, drank and relieved herself.

The two daughters-in-law had long been fed up. Jianguo's wife didn't retaliate, but Jianshe's wife had been harboring resentment for a long time.

Ji Jianshe didn't dare to say anything, for fear that his wife would abandon the children and run away again.

Ji Shichui lay on the straw, dragging his legs, feeling particularly sad.

Now he and Huang Zhaodi are useless, living like those beasts, and he doesn't know how he feels.

He has three sons and one daughter.

How did things turn out like this?

She could still hear Huang Zhaodi's cursing. This time, the one cursing her was none other than Ji Jianshe.
