When he heard that it would cost more than 300 yuan to resolve the calamity, the anxiety on his second cousin's face immediately faded a lot, because he could just give up without any hesitation or consideration. Given how stingy he was, losing more than 300 yuan was the biggest calamity he had ever encountered in his life.
With that money, he might as well buy a few roosters and hens and raise them in the yard to compensate the descendants of Wong Tai Sin, or simply kill them to comfort the soul of Wong Tai Sin.
My second aunt also backed off. Three hundred yuan was enough for her to build two brick houses.
But considering that she was almost choked to death just now, and that the talisman had indeed turned into ashes right under her nose, saving her from disaster, she became a little hesitant.
It’s difficult to take money out of your own pocket, but what if you take it out of someone else’s pocket?
She looked at her niece's husband with her eyes. Although this guy didn't have good taste, he was rich. He was willing to marry her niece even though she had two children, and he even built two nice houses for her. She had no choice but to accept it.
"My nephew-in-law, do you think what the old man said makes sense?" Second aunt asked Lin Yi with squinting eyes.
Lin Yi spread his hands innocently at his second aunt: "How should I understand this? There's an old saying about this kind of thing - believe it or not. It depends on whether you believe it or not, Second Aunt."
Second aunt naturally believed it more than she didn't, but she was short of money and wanted to borrow some. However, if someone asked her to borrow money, she would definitely not be able to do so, so she was a little embarrassed to ask for a while.
The aunt in the hall frowned. This sister-in-law has always been the type who can't stand being taken advantage of and can't stand being taken advantage of. As soon as she sticks out her butt, you know what she is going to say. She has to rush back to the village in the afternoon. She hasn't had time to sell the baskets of pomegranates she brought on the way, so she has no time to waste time with her here.
So he said goodbye to his younger brother, sister-in-law, niece and others, and asked his sons to go back to the Cheng family yard to pick up pomegranates and sell them for cash.
A group of people rushed away in an instant.
My second aunt was at her wit's end. Before leaving, she insisted on asking the fortune teller for a few triangular talismans, and specifically asked for free ones.
The blind fortune teller's eyes rolled up to the sky, he held his pockets tightly, lit his blind stick, and his feet were like roller coasters, and he disappeared in an instant.
........
Back in the village, my second aunt and her family regretted not stopping the fortune teller. It wasn't that they were suddenly willing to spend 300 yuan to solve the problem, but they were mainly upset that they hadn't stopped him from getting some free talismans.
Alas, ever since that day when they returned to Chu Tianjiao's warm residence, nothing has gone well for their second house. The pigs at home suddenly stopped eating, none of the winter wheat sown in the field sprouted, and the people in their family could twist their ankles when walking on flat ground.
The worst-off one was my second aunt, who broke her hip when she got up to go to the toilet at night.
I went to the hospital for surgery and stayed in the hospital for half a month, which cost more than 500 yuan. They were heartbroken.
After being discharged from the hospital, the house was in a mess. Several daughters-in-law were arguing and clamoring to divide the family property. No matter how my second aunt slapped her thigh and scolded, it was useless.
Chu Cuixia also secretly made things difficult for her sisters-in-law and brothers' wives, but this action was of no use except making her old mother even more angry. On the contrary, it created a rift between her brothers.
At first, they all felt sorry for the younger sister for having lost her husband, and thought that with so many people in the family, she wouldn't need a bite to eat. Although the wife always whispered in their ears, saying that the sister-in-law was lazy and bad and that she was not willing to let her come back, the brothers didn't take it to heart. They just thought that the wife was narrow-minded and was afraid that her parents would give too much to the younger sister and their family would suffer.
But I didn't expect that this girl is so heartless now. She eats meals cooked by her sisters-in-law every day and lives in a house cleaned by her brothers' wives. She never says a good word and always stirs up trouble.
Several brothers couldn't stand their mother's daily scolding, and couldn't stand their wives' cold violence, plus their sister was so tactless. Hey, we have to divide the family, we have to divide it, and we have to divide it now.
The second aunt was forced into a corner and yelled at her unfilial sons: "Everything in this house was saved by your father and me. You want to divide my property? No way. Either you obey me or take your wives and children and get out."
This is to make them leave the house with nothing.
The brothers looked at their father with stern faces and asked, "Dad, is this what you meant?"
The second uncle, who was not worthy of a name, looked at the old woman, then at his sons, but he did not dare to agree with what the old woman said. He had realized that these sons had forgotten their mother after getting wives and were now alienated from them. If he dared to ask them to leave the house, these sons would leave him helpless in his old age.
As for his daughter Cuixia, he saw it more clearly than the old woman and knew that she could not be relied upon.
In the end, the family split up.
My second cousin and his wife were given a small house, and Cuixia's house was divided up. If she wanted to stay, she could only live in the same house with her parents.
But having a place to live is not enough, eating is also a problem.
The old couple ate with their sons, and one family provided for one month. Several daughters-in-law made it clear that if Cuixia occasionally came back to her parents' home, they would kill chickens and fish and prepare a feast to entertain her, but if she had to be supported by her brother and sister-in-law for a long time, sorry, that didn't make sense and they would not welcome her.
(The author is not kidding, Cuixia is very important to the plot. I will continue coding after I come back after lunch.)
