Chapter 166 God's Punishment
The villagers who were lying down to rest were frightened by the shrill screams and sat up suddenly.
"Where is that scream coming from? It's the middle of the night, it's so scary."
"Is this sound killing people?"
…
People made wild guesses and took sticks and other self-defense tools and went out to see where the screams came from.
At the same time, the Lu family also heard screams.
After several expansions, the Lu family's house was closer to the wasteland, and the screams could be heard more clearly.
Thinking about what her daughter-in-law had told her before nightfall, Su's heart was pounding. She hastily threw on a coat and hurried to find Jiang Tangtang, "Tangtang, was that sound coming from our wasteland? Is anyone dead?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "Mom, don't worry, no one will die!" But he will suffer a lot.
Su was relieved to hear that no one would die, but she still worriedly asked, "Did you install some kind of trap in the vegetable garden? Will our own workers be safe if they go there?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "Mom, don't worry. I've already told everyone that nothing will happen to our workers who go to work there." And after today's lesson, no one would dare to easily take advantage of her vegetable garden in the future.
When Jiang Tangtang, Su and others arrived at the vegetable field, the villagers in the village who were frightened by the screams also rushed to the scene with hoes, sickles and other self-defense farm tools.
Looking at Ge Hongxia, who was lying on the edge of the Lu family's vegetable field with her hair disheveled and shaking constantly, the villagers all had expressions of shock on their faces.
"What happened to the girl from the Ge family? Why is she lying here?"
"Look at this, are you being bullied?"
"What should I do? Didn't she just find a well-known husband? They were about to get married, and after something like this happened, would the man still want her?"
…
Ge Shuanniang was furious when she heard what people were saying. She yelled at the villagers, "Your daughter is the one being bullied. My daughter is fine, how could she be bullied? I think you just can't stand me cheering and saying that my daughter is a good family. You are deliberately ruining my daughter's reputation."
The scolded villager immediately retorted unhappily, "If she wasn't bullied, then what happened to her? She can't possibly be running out to the wasteland to cool off in the middle of the night, right?"
"That's right. Everyone in the village heard that cry just now. If nothing happened, why would she make such a cry?"
"That's because... because..." Ge Shuanniang was worried about her daughter's health and reputation. In her anxiety, she suddenly saw Jiang Tangtang. Her eyes lit up and she rushed towards Jiang Tangtang, "You witch, my daughter was harmed by you. You have to compensate my daughter!"
Jiang Tangtang avoided her and said innocently, "Aunt Ge, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. I was sleeping soundly at home, and I came with everyone to check when I heard the screams. What does your daughter's accident have to do with me?"
"It's you! You witch—" Ge Shuanniang knew something about Ge Hongxia coming to the Lu family's vegetable garden to steal vegetables. She looked at where her daughter was lying, then at the bamboo fence, gritting her teeth and saying, "It's this fence of yours that's got something wrong with it. It's what made my daughter like this!"
"My fence is three feet away from the ground. If you walk properly, you won't touch my fence at all, unless someone has bad intentions and wants to sneak into my vegetable garden!"
Jiang Tangtang said coldly, "Then I'd like to ask Aunt Ge, what is your daughter doing in my vegetable garden in the middle of the night instead of sleeping at home?"
Mrs. Su continued her daughter-in-law's words, "That's right. Why are you climbing the fence of my vegetable garden in the middle of the night? Are you planning to sneak into my vegetable garden and steal vegetables in the dead of night?"
Ge Shuanniang's face flushed red, and she put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Who went to your vegetable garden to steal vegetables? I have vegetables at home, so who would want your vegetables?"
"The vegetables in your garden are completely different from the ones in my garden!" Mrs. Su said leisurely. "The vegetables in my garden are all rare varieties that my daughter-in-law painstakingly sourced from offshore. It's no exaggeration to say that each vegetable is worth a fortune. You sneaking into my garden late at night? Your intentions are truly suspicious!"
After hearing this, people began to whisper. Someone even said, "Sister Ge, your daughter isn't just envying the Lu family's food. Could it be that she's secretly hiding in the wasteland to meet her lover?"
"Bah! You're the one who's calling me a lover. My daughter was clearly out looking for chickens. The chickens ran to the Lu family's vegetable garden, and you won't let anyone find them?"
Ge Shuanniang slapped her thigh and cursed, "I don't know what kind of magic the Lu family used on this fence to make my daughter look like this. You can't tell friend from foe and help them. When you run into it yourself one day, you will realize how powerful it is. Don't regret it then."
The villagers who were originally talking and blaming Ge Hongxia's family suddenly quieted down.
They had all heard the screams Ge Hongxia had just made. What if there really was something haunted by the fence of the Lu family's vegetable garden, and it harmed them one day?
Seeing the villagers' fear, Jiang Tangtang said calmly, "There's a ghost in my fence, but it only targets those with malicious intentions and bad behavior. If you don't believe me, try it yourself."
The villagers didn't dare to move. Finally, Xia Zhirong gritted his teeth and was the first to reach out and touch the fence.
Jiang Tangtang had already pressed the off button on the remote control hidden in her sleeve, so Xia Zhirong touched it and found nothing was wrong.
The villagers went to touch the fence one after another, and found nothing wrong. Ge Shuanniang, not believing in evil, also reached out to touch the fence.
The moment she touched it, Jiang Tangtang secretly turned on the switch.
So, everyone only saw Ge Shuanniang's eyes roll back, her whole body tremble, and she screamed "Ahhhh" the moment she touched the fence.
Everyone felt that the fence of the Lu family's vegetable garden had magical powers. As they became more and more awed by it, they also looked down upon Ge Hongxia and her daughter more and more.
They all said, "Hongxia and her daughter are bad from the root. You see, everyone else can touch the fence and nothing happens, but hers does."
"They must have had evil intentions and offended the gods. Even Heaven couldn't stand it and wanted to punish them."
…
Jiang Tangtang didn't need to say much before the villagers convicted the Ge mother and daughter.
Ge Shuanniang was so shocked that her eyes were wide open, and she was completely stunned. Although she was usually fierce and took advantage of others, she was actually very afraid of ghosts and gods. Just now, everyone else had touched the fence without any problem, but when she touched it, it felt like she was being hit with a stick. It hurt so much that her fingers were numb...
She huddled up in fear, not daring to say another word.
The mother and daughter of the Ge family were both like fools, shaking non-stop...
Before the next day, the news spread that the Lu family's vegetable garden was guarded by a supernatural power and that those with evil intentions who wanted to harm the Lu family would be punished by the gods.
