"Um."
At this point, Qian Feiyue hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shiyue: "Shiyue, there's something I don't know if I should tell you."
"you say."
Shiyue picked up a piece of fish belly meat and put it into Qian Feiyue's bowl, then said, "Although we didn't have much contact before, we've all lived in the same place. We're all from the same village, and since we've all come to this far away, we're practically family now. Just say what you want to say, don't overthink it."
Hearing her say that, Qian Feiyue smiled and whispered, "Shiyue, before I came here, everyone in the team was saying that your house was haunted!"
Shiyue suddenly raised her head: "What?"
Qian Feiyue sighed: "I really don't want to tell you, but I feel like you should know this."
After Si Yueling's incident, this rumor started circulating in the team because she had the accident the day after she moved into your house.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qian married Li Wantian.
When I got married, people were saying that people who lived in my house were prone to bad luck.
Otherwise, why was Bai Qian able to stay in the team for a year or two without any problems, until she moved into your house and was forced to marry you?
Shiyue was completely confused.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Bai Qian say she was going to marry Li Wantian before she moved in?"
"Yes, but she got married after she moved in from the educated youth settlement."
Seeing Shi Yue's eyes widen in anger, Qian Feiyue waved his hand: "Shi Yue, don't take it personally, we definitely don't believe it. We've all been to school, we know there are no demons or monsters in this world, and even if there were, we'd defeat them!"
What I mean is, you need to be aware of this; the brigade might not be able to suppress it anymore.
At this point, he steered the conversation back to Ye Puan.
He said, "Ye Pu'an was sent back to the city to recuperate due to illness. One night, when he went to the team for a study session, he somehow encountered a ghost wall."
He went out by himself, and we didn't know. When we realized he was missing and went to look for him, we found him unconscious in front of a grave mound on the back hill; he had been unconscious for quite some time.
He started having a fever after he came back, and it got so high that he was having convulsions. The village doctor couldn't treat him, so he told us to take him to the county hospital that night.
The doctors in the county couldn't cure it either; the fever just wouldn't go down. I don't know how many fever-reducing pills I took, but the fever would always come back.
You wouldn't believe it, but in just over a week, Ye Pu'an was burning up to the point of being barely alive.
Later, Jiang Dong had no choice but to send a telegram to his family, and his brother rushed over and took him back home.
Then his family sent him a certificate of recuperation, transferring his medical records back to Jiannan.
"How do you know he encountered a ghost wall?" He Lixuan asked in a deep voice.
"Jiang Dong said it. Jiang Dong said that Ye Pu'an told him this when he was lucid in the middle of the night. He said that he first saw a dark shadow, and then he became confused."
Ye Pu'an only remembers following the dark figure and walking for a long time.
But he didn't remember going to the back mountain, and he had even less idea how he fainted in front of the grave.
"After Ye Pu'an's incident, apart from a few of us educated youth, no one else went to the house anymore."
Many people started shouting that they wanted to demolish your house, saying that the house was haunted by evil spirits.
Then every now and then someone would throw stones inside, and once someone even threw excrement at the entrance..."
Shiyue slammed her chopsticks down on the table with a bang!
She was shaking with anger.
Shiyue grew up in that house, a house that holds all her beautiful memories.
That was her home, her roots.
The thought of her home being so desecrated made Shiyue want to rush back right now and fight those who spread rumors to the death!
Her actions startled Qian Feiyue so much that he immediately shut up.
He Lixuan grabbed Shi Yue's hand, signaling her not to act impulsively.
His gaze sharpened.
He looked at Qian Feiyue and asked, "So the team didn't react? Are they just letting them cause trouble?"
Qian Feiyue quickly shook his head: "No, no. The team took care of it. Captain Sun was furious and even slammed his fist on the table at the meeting! He said that if he found out who did it, he would send them to the commune for sabotaging production and spreading superstition, and have them go to jail! It was only because the team intervened that fewer people came to make trouble afterward."
But then someone climbed over the back wall and, from a distance, knocked on Chu Xia's window with stones.
Qian Feiyue didn't dare to look at Shiyue anymore; he could only look at He Lixuan and say, "After Bai Qian moves away, Chuxia will be the only female educated youth left. You don't know that when that house was built, they wanted to separate the men and women, so they built a wall in the middle."
Although it's not very tall, it still divided one courtyard into two.
It's really too dangerous to live alone at night in early summer.
After Captain Sun lost his temper, he still had Chu Xia invited to stay at his house. He said that since you had left money, Chu Xia was given a room when his house was built, and she could stay as long as she wanted.
As soon as Chu Xia moved out, the rumors that the captain had suppressed resurfaced.
There were all sorts of rumors, and later it even spread to several surrounding brigades. Some people even secretly came to our brigade to see what was going on.
Qian Feiyue also said some other things, and from his words, Shiyue and the others knew that their old house was very likely to be lost.
Unless they seek help from others, Sun Yongfu and those few brigade cadres alone probably won't be able to hold out for long.
Shiyue had already realized this.
After all, the stability of the team was more important than the contract signed with her, who lived far away.
After finishing his meal, Qian Feiyue left.
He Liping called He Lixuan away, and it's unclear what the two brothers had to say to each other.
Shiyue sat at the dining table by herself, not moving for a long time.
After learning about the matter from her husband, Liang Yueming rushed over quickly.
She didn't try to persuade Shiyue, probably because she felt she had no idea how to do it.
She simply sent Shiyue back to her room to rest, while she stayed behind to clean.
This time, Shiyue didn't argue with her sister-in-law; she was completely numb at that moment.
Her mind was filled with the dream she had before, which left her feeling completely confused.
Wasn't all the preparation I had done before enough?
Could it not have prevented this disaster?
Even a fool could tell from Qian Feiyue's words that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Shi Yue dared not say that Si Yueling's death was related to this matter, but the rumors, the act of throwing stones into the house, and Ye Pu'an's ghost encounter must all be orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.
However, no matter how hard Shiyue racked her brains, she couldn't figure out who the mastermind behind it all was.
She really didn't know who her family had a grudge against.
