In the original owner's memories, this second sister-in-law was the kind of person who couldn't keep her mouth shut and would offend people without realizing it. She didn't have any bad intentions, but she wasn't a kind person either.
Selfishness is human nature, and Yue Jiuyue is also selfish. She was afraid of becoming a scapegoat because she was powerless to protect herself, so she led the whole village together, whether it was selling medicinal herbs or growing sweet potatoes.
"The earthworm was prepared exactly as I just described. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Get out of my way!"
The original owner had no good feelings towards anyone in her husband's family. She was kicked out of the house, and no one in her husband's family was innocent.
Yue Jiuyue picked up a broom that had lost all its sorghum ears and started sweeping. She made a point of sweeping under the feet of the original owner's second sister-in-law until she swept her out the door. Then she slammed the door shut with a loud "bang" and rolled her eyes at the door.
They separated their family eight hundred years ago. Now they have the nerve to say they're still family. Aren't they ashamed?
"Ugh! What kind of person is this! They can't even tell right from wrong!"
The original owner's second sister-in-law muttered a few words at the door, and when she saw Yue Jiuyue raise a broom as if she wanted to hit her, she immediately ran away as if fleeing.
Seeing this, Yue Jiuyue put down the broom, spread the crickets on the winnowing basket, and then the family went back to their rooms to sleep after dinner.
Yue Jiuyue went to bed a little earlier than usual. She didn't know how long she slept, but she was groggily woken up by the alarm clock she had set in the mall. Remembering the purpose of her getting up, she instantly became awake.
To make it easier to move around, she didn't take off her clothes that night. She simply slipped on her shoes and carefully opened the door. She peeked through the crack in the door, looking left and right. Seeing that no one was coming out and she didn't hear any noise, she gently opened the door little by little before feeling relieved and walking out of the room on tiptoe.
Their courtyard wall wasn't high, only about 1.5 or 1.6 meters. The gate had been exposed to wind, sun, and rain for eight or ten years and was quite old. Like the house door, it creaked and groaned with the slightest movement, so they had to open it very carefully to avoid disturbing anyone in the house.
Walking on a deserted country lane in the middle of the night, listening to the sounds of various insects, Yue Jiuyue felt a sense of panic.
Yes, she is an atheist and believes in science.
Is her current situation scientifically sound?
So, do ghosts really exist in this world?
Yue Jiuyue hugged herself tightly and walked westward with suspicion in her eyes.
Beside the ancient well, a dark figure stood, gazing at the shimmering water reflecting a shattered crescent moon, his eyes filled with anticipation for tomorrow.
As expected, reality did not disappoint her.
The next day, Yue Jiuyue was awakened by the excited noise at home.
Before she even opened her eyes, she heard Lin Chaodong and the others excitedly discussing the ancient well and the bizarre event of the well suddenly having water.
"Brother, the well is overflowing with water, so should I still go to the mountains to fetch water today?"
Lin Chaobei asked.
Lin Chaobei's leg injury was almost ready to fall off; the edges of the scab were already peeling up because he couldn't resist scratching it.
"Go ahead. We don't know the specifics of the ancient well yet. Let's wait until the village chief makes the arrangements."
Lin Chaodong decided to stick to the old way. Who knew if the water in the ancient well was drinkable, or if the village chief had any plans? After all, it hadn't been used for many years, and the silt alone would take them several days to clean.
"Oh well."
Lin Chaobei agreed, thinking he wouldn't have to go into the mountains again.
