Chapter 31

They searched downstream for a long time but couldn't find Uncle Zhang, and they thought he was in danger.
At first Cheng Yeran thought that something really happened. Along the way he heard that many villagers knew the crazy woman, and that the crazy woman was driven crazy by the rumors spread by Uncle Zhang. Now it can be considered retribution.
If this is the plot, this plot is very good and the director is very capable, but Cheng Yeran began to doubt, is this really an act? The scene just now was too real. It would be too dangerous if it was acted out.
But if it's not acting, then what is it? He can't possibly travel through time.
He is not dead. Normally, only people who die travel through time...
On the way back, Shen Yuntang saw that he looked absent-minded and thought he was frightened.
The two of them are about the same age, both of them have not experienced much. Cheng Yeran used to be a lazy man who seldom went out, and he has seen even less of the world.
He thought for a long time, raised his hand and patted Cheng Yeran on the back, "It's okay, his death is not your fault, he deserved it, and I almost became Widow Chen's daughter."
"Widow Chen, is that the woman from before?" Cheng Yeran asked him.
"Yes, you seldom go out, so you may not understand clearly. When I was seven or eight years old, that incident caused a big stir in the village. Widow Chen's daughter was going to get married, and the date was set. But because of those rumors, her fiancé cancelled the engagement and she hanged herself. Widow Chen went crazy for a while, and then she disappeared. Some people said she was dead, and her house and land were occupied by the neighbors. It was quite tragic." Shen Yuntang couldn't help feeling sorry for the mother and daughter, and thought that it was very satisfying for Widow Chen to push Uncle Zhang into the river. If possible, he would also like to push the entire Xia family into the river and watch them all drown.
Although he wanted to live a peaceful life with Cheng Yeran in this life, the feeling of hatred would occupy his mind from time to time, making him have the urge to kill the entire Xia family.
After they returned, it started raining heavily. Cheng Yeran kept sneezing, so Shen Yuntang went to cook a pot of ginger soup.
"Drink some, don't get sick." Shen Yuntang saw that he looked like he had lost his soul and kept sneezing. He felt that he was possessed by evil spirits. He recalled the appearance of Widow Chen in his mind and couldn't help shuddering. "What we saw just now was a person, right?"
"Generally speaking, if you encounter a ghost, some people can see it and some can't. We all saw it, so it must be a human." Cheng Yeran made the analysis based on his years of experience watching ghost movies.
"Why? Have you seen it?" Shen Yuntang also asked seriously.
"Maybe ghosts are designed like this, it will be more terrifying." Cheng Yeran is always scared by this kind of plot.
"She wants her enemies to see her. There's no need to scare those who have no grudge against her, so they can't see her. She thinks her daughter was forced to death by the whole village, so everyone in the village can see her." Shen Yuntang said this and felt cold all over. He couldn't help shivering and subconsciously leaned towards Cheng Yeran.
Cheng Yeran looked up at him. He was now very doubtful whether the scene he had just seen was real. If it was not a variety show, then it must be a time travel? Is Shen Yuntang really his wife, and not just acting?
When he met Shen Yuntang for the first time, he told Shen Yuntang to come over and let her husband hug her, because he felt like a greasy man! How can it be so disgusting!
It must not be a time travel, it must be a variety show! It must be a variety show! Otherwise it would be too social!
Nowadays, variety shows will do anything to get ratings. He had seen a variety show before where a person stepped on the

On the ground, the ground collapsed and people fell down.
Uncle Zhang used to be a diving athlete, so he disappeared after jumping.
Shen Yuntang saw his reaction and felt that he was seriously ill, so he quickly poured him some ginger sugar water, "Take a nap, I'll ask the fairy from the village to come and chant for you, and you'll be fine."
Although Shen Yuntang said this, he was actually afraid and didn't dare to go out.
"Don't go. I don't dare to be alone at home." Cheng Yeran grabbed his arm, "I'm quite afraid of ghosts."
Shen Yuntang didn't expect him to be so frank. All the men he had met before were reserved, as if admitting that they were afraid of ghosts would make them unmanly.
"You even dare to catch dead mice and snakes. Is there anything else you are afraid of?" Shen Yuntang remembered the last time he caught a snake with his bare hands. It made him feel so safe.
"Is it not possible?" Cheng Yeran was sitting and could only look up at him, with an expression like a spoiled child.
When Shen Yuntang saw him like this, his face turned red.
He quickly turned his head away, feeling that Cheng Yeran was looking at him like that on purpose and talking to him in a coquettish tone, trying to seduce him.
But Cheng Yeran doesn't like him, why should he do this? It's so weird.
…
After that day, it wasn't just their family that was affected. The whole village was in a panic because of the incident. People would lock their doors day and night, and families with children would also tell them not to go out to play and to stay at home obediently.
The scene where Widow Chen pushed Uncle Zhang into the river that day was so shocking. The scene where Widow Chen was dressed like a devil and yelled at all of them to pay the price was so shocking that no one in the village dared to go out.
It just so happened that it rained heavily during the past few days, giving me an excuse not to go out, but Cheng Yeran’s tofu was also not selling well.
Shen Yuntang was a little worried. If this continued, their family would lose a source of income.
The two of them sold tofu for a month and earned more than 700 Wen, which was a considerable income. Making tofu every day was not very tiring for him. Cheng Yeran also soaked and ground the beans and did some physically demanding work. He just watched the hot pot and burned firewood.
It is indeed trouble-free for two people to work together like this, but he feels very awkward when he is with Cheng Yeran. He feels uncomfortable all over his body and is always tense, afraid that Cheng Yeran can see his mood.
After their business was bad for a while, there were no more harassments from the female ghost in the village, and they returned to their previous lives. The Cheng family's tofu business also returned to its previous state.
It wasn't until Uncle Zhang's body was found that the village was in turmoil again.
