Chapter 166 She's the Only One Unhappy

In short, things haven't been going well for Zhang Yi in the second half of this year, and she feels it herself.

Not to mention her sprained ankle and broken bones, there were just too many unfortunate little things like hitting her head on the window corner, accidentally falling and breaking the skin, choking on a steamed bun, choking on water, losing money and tickets.

How could she be so unlucky? She thought back to what had happened. She went out with her sister-in-law to buy groceries, and she didn't look at the road and sprained her ankle.

Last year, her sister-in-law sprained her ankle the day after she cursed her.

The same happened to Zhang Liyun from the dance team. She was cursed by her and later fell and broke her bones. Now she also has a broken bone. She met Zhang Liyun on the street that day and chatted with her for a few words.

The road was slippery when they were going back, and she accidentally fell and broke her bones, including her hip bone. Zhang Liyun's bone was in her calf, but both were fractured!

She cursed her sister-in-law to sprain her ankle, and when her sister-in-law sprained her ankle, she also sprained her ankle. She cursed Zhang Liyun to break a bone, and when she broke a bone, she also broke a bone.

Zhang Yi was terrified when she thought about it. What on earth was going on?

Is it a coincidence, or... God is punishing her!

Zhang Yi was very scared. If it was a coincidence, that was fine. But if it was God punishing her, what should she do? It couldn't be a coincidence. There was no such coincidence!

She has been very unlucky in the past six months. A person may be unlucky for a while, but not for such a long time.

Zhang Yi wanted to find someone to see her, but she had a broken bone and couldn't go out. After thinking about it, she told her mother. When Zhang's mother heard it, she also thought that her daughter was too unlucky.

Suspecting that the girl was possessed by a ghost, he asked around and hired a fortune teller.

The witch must have some experience. She glanced at Zhang Yi and asked, "Have you ever done something... bad before?"

Zhang's mother said, "What's wrong with that? My daughter is a soldier and is in the art troupe."

Zhang Yi glanced at Zhang's mother and asked, "Mom, can you please go out first?"

She felt that if she didn't tell the truth, she would not be able to break this bad luck. Zhang's mother said, "You are not a concubine. Have you really done it?"

Zhang Yi, "Mom, you should go out first."

Zhang's mother went out. Zhang Yi told the fortune-teller about the curse on her sister-in-law and Zhang Liyun from the dance team. The fortune-teller frowned and said, "That's all."

Zhang Yi nodded. The time she cursed Counsellor Shen’s wife didn’t count, because nothing happened.

The fortune teller sighed, came out and talked to Zhang's mother, gave her two more talismans and left. You'll know whether they work or not after you drink them.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it really works, but after drinking the magic water, Zhang Yi felt that she was not so unlucky anymore, otherwise she would bump into the corner of the table when she walked.

As for Lin Shuyin, the system reported Zhang Yi's situation to her once a month, and she also told her about the fortune teller she had hired.

Maybe because of the series of bad things that happened, Zhang Yi was scared, or maybe it was inconvenient for her to move, so she stopped cursing.

But sometimes I still curse her in my heart.

Lin Shuyin didn't understand how a person could have such great malice towards a stranger. She must be crazy just for a man.

She thought that if Zhang Yi lived in the future, it would be terrible.

As the year draws to a close, Shen Guannan suggests to Lin Shuyin, "Wife, should we go back to your parents' home this year? I'm not very busy at work right now, and we haven't been back for seven or eight years."

Lin Shuyin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go ask Jianshe Sarin if they are free. If they are, we can go back together."

Lin's mother also mentioned this in a letter before the New Year, asking if they would come back for the New Year. Siyu and Nanding had never seen their grandparents.

The two children are grown up now, so it’s not a big deal for them to travel.

Shen Guannan: "Okay."

I asked Lin Jianshe and Sarin, and Lin Jianshe said, "I have no problem, see Sarin." He was on winter vacation and had nothing to do.

Sarin, "I'll apply to the regiment commander. I've only used my family leave once in all these years in the army."

When she was in Hohhot, she was close to home and went home almost every week. She only went back to Sichuan Province with Jianshe once to take a family visit leave.

Lin Shuyin, "Are you sure? Going home for Chinese New Year this year"

Several people nodded. Lin Shuyin said, "Then I'll write a letter to my mother."

It was the beginning of January, and it had been at least a week and ten days since Lin's mother received the letter.

"OK."

Sarin applied for a home visit leave from their group leader and was approved for half a month. Shen Guannan also had a half-month home visit leave, but they could not stay in Sichuan for half a month, so a week was about right.

But it takes four or five days to go back and forth.

That's about it.

As the saying goes, "Fragrance smells good from afar, but smells bad when near." Lin's father and mother missed Lin Shuyin and Lin Jianshe very much. After receiving the letter from Lin Shuyin, Lin's mother read it happily and said, "Old man, Shuyin said that she and Jianshe will be back for the Chinese New Year this year, and they will leave on the 25th."

When Father Lin heard this, he sat up from the bed with a look of joy on his face.

"Really? Let me see."

Lin's mother handed him the letter and muttered, "Shuyin hasn't been back for seven or eight years. She only came back once when she got married and brought her boyfriend with her."

“It’s been under construction for four or five years.”

Father Lin finished reading the letter. "Si Yu and Nan Ding were young before, so it was inconvenient to take them out. Now that they are grown up, it is more convenient to take them out."

Lin's mother: "Yes."

Father Lin, "Get ready. Buy more meat and other things. Do we still have meat coupons?"

Mother Lin nodded, "Yes, I will go to the market to buy ducks and chickens tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Buy it."

Seeing her parents-in-law preparing so diligently, buying meat and candy, Qian Xianghong was very happy. Why were they so happy that the two of them were coming back?

The third and fourth sons were not at home to take care of the old couple. They usually just wrote letters to ask how they were doing, but there was no other practical expression. On the contrary, she bought many things for her parents-in-law.

She told Lin Jianye, "Look, Shuyin Construction is coming back. My parents are very happy. They go to the market to buy things every day and bring back a big bag every time."

Lin Jianye said, "How can I not be happy? They haven't been back for a long time. Shuyin has been away for seven or eight years, and Jianshe has been away for several years as well."

"Not only are my parents happy, even I, as the eldest brother, am a little happy."

Qian Xianghong: “........” So she is unhappy.

The whole family is happy, except her.

That’s right, the whole family has the surname Lin, and she is the only outsider.

In fact, it is not her fault that the sister-in-law is unhappy. Let's not talk about her brother-in-law Lin Jianshi, just look at her second sister-in-law, who married such a good and capable man, and she also got into university and won the provincial championship.

Even though he was so awesome, he didn't know how to help his mother's family. Apart from just writing letters, there was no other substantial benefit. When nephews and nieces were born, they didn't show any sign of it.

Not even a hello.

She told her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law replied,

"Shuyin Guannan is busy with work."

If one is willing, one can find time to send things back no matter how busy one is at work. In her opinion, her second sister-in-law just doesn't want to send things back, and it's all for show.

It's true that fragrance comes from afar but stinks nearby. As a daughter-in-law, she serves her parents-in-law but cannot get a single good word from them. However, her second sister-in-law's family and her younger brother-in-law's family are often praised by her parents-in-law.

Qian Xianghong felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. What is he trying to do?

Or they could just split up the family and get by. Anyway, her son and daughter are grown up and don't need anyone to take care of them.
