Chapter 273 Red Wedding Certificate
Gui Mei nodded. "There's a beautiful widow in our village named Yang Xia. She rarely goes out on weekdays. She's afraid of getting into trouble."
"We have a pretty good relationship. Sometimes when she needs help, I'll go. She's still young, and I've advised her to find another suitable partner if she finds one."
"She always shook her head and refused. By the way, her previous husband was an alcoholic. He would beat her when he was drunk. He even had an abortion. She hasn't been able to get pregnant since then."
"In the end, the man got drunk one day and fell into a ditch on his way home and died. She was afraid of marrying another man like him, and now that she couldn't have children, she gave up the idea."
"I also know that many men in our village have their eyes on her, so I usually help her more."
"But four days ago, the landlord in the village was renovating his ancestral home and found a red marriage certificate with Yang Xia's name and birth date on it."
"But the marriage is with the landlord's deceased brother, which makes people feel creepy."
"The landlord's family also found it incredible and acted as if nothing had happened. Later, somehow, the story spread to our village."
"At the time, I even asked Yang Xia why her birth date and time ended up in the landlord's ancestral home. She herself was also confused, but she just thought it was a coincidence."
When Gui Mei said this, she suddenly became a little scared and didn't say a word for a long time.
Uncle Jia and the others knew that the main event was about to begin, and they did not urge her to speak quickly.
Gui Mei took a few deep breaths before continuing, "Many people in the village are gossiping, saying she's been having an affair for a long time, otherwise how would they know her birth date and time?"
"Although I didn't know her very well, I knew she wasn't someone who would be fickle. What I didn't expect was that she died suddenly yesterday."
"We were still chatting and laughing the day before, but when I went to look for her yesterday, I found that she had died suddenly at home."
"I was so scared that I reported it to the village head, and asked the coroner to say it was a sudden death, not homicide."
"I was very sad about this for a long time, so we all pooled our money to buy a coffin and prepare to bury her. Then something strange happened. I think we might have encountered a ghost."
"When she was put into the coffin, many red marriage certificates suddenly appeared inside. They were all marriage agreements from landlords."
Su Nuobai frowned as he listened to her finish her story, and then began to sift through the useful information in it.
"Let me ask you, do landlords get richer with each generation?"
Gui Mei frowned and thought for a moment: "I don't know about this. When I married here, I only knew that the landlord was very rich. I heard that this generation is even richer than the previous one."
"Does this mean that each generation is getting richer than the previous one?" she asked uncertainly.
"Let's go. I'll go to the village with you." Su Nuobai already knew what it was.
Gui Mei nodded and told the address, then got on the carriage that Su Nuobai threw out.
Although she was afraid, she thought that Su Nuobai was a master of the mystical arts, so she bravely sat in.
When they arrived at the village, everyone gathered together, and no one dared to bury Yang Xia. This matter was really too weird.
When they saw the carriage, they were stunned for a moment. When they saw Gui Mei and Su Nuobai coming down, they hurried over to greet them.
"Master Su, has Yang Xia become a ghost? We haven't harmed her in the past!"
"Yes! Master Su, please help me take a look."
"She doesn't want to kill us!"
The villagers were talking non-stop, all of them were scared and terrified.
"Stop, stop, stop. Who of you will go and call the landlord's people over." Su Nuobai was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by their noise.
"I'll go now." The one who was quick on his feet had already run to call for help.
"Take me to see Yang Xia's coffin." Su Nuobai said to the head of the village.
Although the village head was afraid, he finally mustered up the courage to take her to Yang Xia's yard, but he didn't dare to go in.
When Su Nuobai walked in, she saw Yang Xia lying in the coffin. Her body had a red string tied to her little finger that was invisible to ordinary people.
As expected, I was forced into a ghost marriage. These people are still very annoying.
"Ghost marriage?" Feng Zhi understood when he saw the red string on his hand.
"This ghost marriage is not a simple ghost marriage, but one that involves at least three generations." Su Nuobai said, looking at Yang Xia's body.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jiang looked confused.
"In other words, Yang Xia is not the first woman who died suddenly and was arranged to have a ghost marriage. There must have been such cases before." Su Nuobai walked out of the room.
The landlord's family had already arrived outside the courtyard: "Master Su, why did you ask us to come? This woman's death has nothing to do with us."
"Is it really okay?" Su Nuobai looked at Qian Gui and asked.
Qian Gui frowned: "The one who has the marriage certificate with her is from my generation. We don't know how we were arranged to have a ghost marriage with her. We didn't let anyone do that."
"You didn't ask anyone to do it, but your ancestor asked people to do it." Su Nuobai looked at him and said.
"Master Su, what do you mean by that? Our ancestor has been dead for so many years, how could he do such a thing?"
Qian Gui felt that this was unreasonable, and he even doubted whether Master Su was capable.
"I'm asking you, is the one who died your brother?" Su Nuobai looked at him and asked.
Qian Gui nodded: "Yes, he died in an accident when he was sixteen."
"Let me ask you again, is your father also a twin? Did his older brother or younger brother also die at the age of sixteen?" Su Nuobai asked again.
Qian Gui felt something was wrong and didn't say anything for a long time.
Su Nuobai looked at him and said, "Do you know why every generation in your family has twins, and only one person survives in each generation? You also have a pair of twin sons, who should be almost sixteen years old."
"You, what exactly do you want to say?" Qian Gui felt a little lacking in confidence, and even had some terrible guesses in his mind.
"Your ancestors signed a contract with a ghost medium to arrange a ghost marriage for a living person, to ensure that your generations will become richer and richer, and to guarantee your wealth and family property."
"The price is a son of your Qian family. As for the girl..." Su Nuobai looked at the villagers and said, "It's the widow from this village."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the village head and said, "Do you remember Qian Gui's father's generation? There was also a widow in your village who died suddenly."
The oldest man in the village seemed to recall something: "I remember now, there was indeed a widow named Cai, but she was much more promiscuous than Yang Xia."
"She was often cursed by the villagers. When she died, everyone said it was retribution. But there were no marriage certificates back then!"
Su Nuobai said to Qian Gui: "That's because the Qian family renovated the ancestral home and burned the marriage certificate, so this situation happened."
Qian Gui's face was already very ugly: "This is all made up by you."
