Chapter 25 Good words can hardly persuade a damned ghost
Donglazi Mountain is not far from Dalui Village. It is a small village.
Because the whole village is located on the hillside, it got this nickname.
A few years ago, the villagers of Donglazi Mountain raped a girl who happened to be from Dalui Village.
Because of this, the two villages had a big fight. In order to seek justice for the villagers, the village chief not only went to the government office to beat the drum, but also issued a death order. The two villages will never have any contact from then on.
Intermarriage is not allowed.
No money or food transactions are allowed.
Although Mrs. Jiang knew about this, she still went to Donglazi Mountain frequently, not for anything else, but because one of her nephews moved to Donglazi Mountain to live.
Speaking of her nephews from her mother's family, Mrs. Jiang is so distressed.
Even when the Jiang family split up, Mrs. Jiang would rather let the third branch leave the house, but she also kept half of the money and gave it to her two nephews.
According to Mrs. Jiang, her nephews are her confidence, and she will never forget her only brother's two sons.
Look, with the money of the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang's eldest nephew Liu Huai quickly won the hearts of the people and became the village chief of Donglazi Mountain.
After Jiang Dahe passed away, he told his cousin about this, and Liu Huai's eyes lit up.
"There is also such a good thing, taking over the ancestral tomb of a rich family, each family can get three taels, and there is also a reduction in grain taxes!" Liu Huai's heart itched, and he couldn't wait to take the money now.
Jiang Dahe hurriedly said: "Yes, cousin, this matter can't be delayed. Once it is taken away by other villages, you won't be able to spend the money."
Liu Huai heard it and ran to the city.
The rich Ma family was famous in the city, and he was going to lobby.
Before leaving, Jiang Dahe begged: "Cousin, if this is successful, don't forget me and my mother. You have to give us some money." Liu
Huai nodded perfunctorily.
"Come back soon, I will tell you when it's done!"
After hearing this, Jiang Dahe couldn't help but smile, and then he returned to Daliu Village with satisfaction.
Soon, there were more rumors in the village in the past two days.
Some villagers heard that the rich Ma family had moved their ancestral tombs to Donglazi Mountain.
Not only did they pay money and food to Liu Huai. They
were also very anxious to relocate the tomb. Early in the morning of that day, they even invited several sorcerers to go with them and cast a spell on Donglazi Mountain.
Hearing his elder brother and mother talking about this, Xiao Nuobao couldn't help but frown and sighed.
The Ma family was in a hurry to send their daughter to the palace for selection.
Things were urgent and had to be done quickly.
So the relocation of the tomb had to be done as quickly as possible, otherwise how could the powerful spell work in time.
Lifting open the old curtain with rough embroidery, Feng saw the daughter rolling around in the quilt anxiously, kicking her short legs for a while, and then holding her little face and pouting, as if she had something on her mind.
Until Xiao Nuobao got tired of playing by herself.
The little body fell on the quilt and fell asleep. Feng then let down the curtain and continued to talk to Jiang Fengnian about this matter.
"Mother, now the village is saying that Liu Huai took the Ma family's ancestral tomb into Donglazi Mountain and swallowed all the silver by himself, and only distributed some food to the villagers in his village." Jiang Fengnian said while heating the kang.
Jiang Fenghu peeled radish and asked with a frown: "This Liu Huai took all the silver by himself, why didn't the villagers in Donglazi Mountain make a fuss?"
Jiang Fengnian shook his head.
"Don't you think about it? It was my second uncle who told Liu Huai about this, and Liu Huai took care of it alone. How could other people in their village know about the silver?"
"Do you think everyone is like our village chief, who never hides good things from us?"
Jiang Fenghu slapped his forehead and thought it made sense.
The villagers of Donglazi Mountain didn't know everything from Liu Huai.
If Liu Huai said there was only food, they naturally wouldn't know about the silver.
The harvest is not good now, even if each family gets a little food, the people of Donglazi Mountain will be happy enough, and of course they won't make trouble anymore.
"If each household gets two taels of silver, then there are a total of eighteen households in Donglazi Mountain, and that would be thirty-four taels of silver..." Jiang Fenghu scratched his fingers for a long time, wishing he could use all his toes.
Jiang Fengnian groaned.
"How did you calculate it? It's clearly thirty-six taels."
Jiang Fenghu was even more excited when he heard it: "Yes, it's thirty-six taels! That Liu Huai is too wicked, worthy of being your nephew, his heart is even more wicked than the feet of an old sow, he embezzled thirty-six taels!"
But Feng shook her head.
She thought of the "dead" that the girl said, and her eyes darkened.
"He may be greedy, but he may not chew it rotten." Feng said in a faint voice: "Money must be earned by life, and it must be spent by life."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Fengnian and the others knew what they meant.
The reason why they waited until their sister fell asleep before talking was because they were afraid that their sister would remember what happened that day and scare her.
Although the villagers of Donglazi Mountain are not easy to get along with, there are still one or two kind people. If his sister's words come true, the whole village will be in great trouble.
Jiang Fenghu felt a little reluctant: "Mother, their village is about to be in great trouble. It's quite..."
Feng raised her eyes.
A rare coldness flashed across her face.
She interrupted her son and said, "What can you do if you feel sorry for them? Are you going to ask them to return the food and see if they will listen to you or kick you out?"
Jiang Fenghu was silent after hearing this.
Feng shook her head again and said, "That year, the whole village protected the beast who abused Yinggu. I think if a disaster really happened, it would be the retribution of the whole village. Anyway, we can't do anything for them. Let's just wait and see what happens."
Hearing about Yinggu, except for Li Qiqiao, who had been married to the Jiang family for only three years, everyone else knew about it and looked at them coldly.
Yes.
Even if it was for Yinggu.
This disaster was what Donglazi Mountain deserved.
After hearing about the grain distribution in Donglazi Mountain, some people in Dalui Village were inevitably jealous.
After all, this should have been a good thing for their village. They always felt like they were being left out. Moreover, they could get free food without doing anything. Who would complain about having too much food if they had money to burn?
After hearing the rumors, the village chief was afraid that someone would blame Xiao Nuobao for this, so he immediately spread the word.
"If anyone is dissatisfied and wants to complain behind my back, come to me and tell me face to face!"
"If I hear someone gossiping behind my back, be careful that I will turn against him!"
The village chief's prestige in Daliu Village is beyond doubt.
Once he spoke, no one dared to criticize him.
But Aunt Li, who lived across the street, couldn't stand it.
She had just come back from visiting Old Lady Jiang and heard that someone helped her nephew to pick up the spoils of Daliu Village. She felt very unbalanced.
When she came back, she ran into Feng again. Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Feng
and muttered, "A widow picking up a maid and raising her is such an unlucky couple. Such good money was ruined by you two."
