When people from Zhoujia Village come to her for help, Ma the witch rarely refuses.
According to legend, the only people who Ma Shenpo will not help are those who "deserve it".
As soon as Zhou Dajun finished his refusal, Zhou Chunping's face darkened.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunping's mind emerged the scene of Ma the witch opening her arms and sighing to the sky before Wu Jinfeng was arrested that day.
"It's not that I won't take revenge, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Once the time comes, the law will catch up with me. The wronged soul is seeking revenge, and my descendants are unfilial!"
What do those mysterious verses of Ma the witch mean?
A wronged spirit is seeking her life? A wronged spirit is seeking her life? Could it be that Wu Jinfeng has done something truly sinister, and a wronged spirit is seeking her life?
The more Zhou Chunping thought about it, the more frightened he became. Wu Jinfeng's nightly "ghost sightings" must be the work of wronged spirits, but...what did it mean for descendants to be unfilial? His parents died shortly after he was born, and his only legitimate relative was his grandfather, Zhou Revolution. Could it be that...there was something hidden behind his grandfather's death...?
It must be said that human imagination is boundless. The more Zhou Chunping thought about it, the more he felt his suspicions were justified. Back then, despite his grandfather's mobility issues, he was healthy. If no one was playing tricks on him, how could he have collapsed in just a few days?
The more Zhou Chunping thought about it, the more suspicious Wu Jinfeng seemed to him.
As the saying goes, suspicion breeds evil. After Zhou Chunping became suspicious of Wu Jinfeng, he found her annoying no matter how he looked at her. Seeing Wu Jinfeng snoring during the day and yelling at night, Zhou Chunping gradually became impatient.
Zhou Chunping's attitude is the weather vane of the Zhou family's actions. After Zhou Chunping became impatient with Wu Jinfeng, several younger generations also gradually became indifferent to Wu Jinfeng.
Zhou Zhimei's ankle healed, but she still stayed at her parents' home and didn't return to the county town. After her argument with Wang Xiaoqiang that day, Zhou Zhimei was holding back her anger and waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang to give in and come pick her up.
Gu Dahua has been incredibly busy these past few days. After Zhou Zhiqiang sprained his ankle, he's been lying in bed every day to look presentable, eating and getting dressed. Even to go to the bathroom, he calls out to Gu Dahua at the top of his lungs.
Since marrying into the Zhou family, Gu Dahua has never been so busy. Previously, Zhao Yunxiang had basically taken care of the household chores for Wu Jinfeng and her parents, leaving Gu Dahua to focus on her own small family.
These days, Wu Jinfeng has been recuperating in bed, and Zhou Chunping and Zhou Zhimei have been sharing meals at Zhou Zhigang's house. The main room provides meals, while Gu Dahua is responsible for washing and drying Wu Jinfeng and Zhou Chunping's clothes. Zhou Zhimei, not being polite, tosses her dirty laundry into Wu Jinfeng's pile, leaving it to Gu Dahua to clean.
Gu Dahua was so tired that she had difficulty breathing, and she still had to keep circling around Wu Jinfeng who was lying on the bed. She looked a little unhappy.
Zhou Zhimei was furious. Isn't it a daughter-in-law's job to work hard and never complain when her mother-in-law is sick?
Without Wu Jinfeng's support, Gu Dahua was not afraid of Zhou Zhimei. After Zhou Zhimei scolded Gu Dahua a few times, Gu Dahua did not talk back. She just patted her butt and went back to her room to take care of Zhou Zhiqiang who had a "foot injury".
Li Chunjiao was left alone and was extremely busy. Fearing Li Chunjiao's reprimand, Zhou Zhimei had to suppress his arrogance and help Li Chunjiao. Zhou Zhimei still did not dare to offend Li Chunjiao, his sister-in-law.
As soon as Wu Jinfeng fell ill, the Zhou family started fighting among themselves, and the situation was a mess every day.
That day, Zhou Zhixin returned to Zhoujia Village alone.
There was no way around it. Wu Jinfeng was ill, and Zhao Yunxiang was stubborn and refused to return. Zhou Zhixin had been putting it off day after day, but today he couldn't put it off any longer.
That's how it is in the countryside. When an elder is sick, no matter how dissatisfied the younger generation is, they can't turn their backs on him. Otherwise, you'll be drowned in the spit of the whole village!
When Zhou Zhixin left, Zhou Yuanyuan opened her mouth, wanting to say that Zhou Chunping and his sons had ill intentions towards him and to tell him to be careful. But the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back. Zhou Yuanyuan knew that Zhou Zhixin was not Zhou Chunping's biological son, but Zhou Zhixin himself didn't know it!
If Zhou Yuanyuan reminded him, what if Zhou Zhixin asked how a little girl like Zhou Yuanyuan knew this secret? Could Zhou Yuanyuan answer that she had seen it in her previous life? Besides, even if Zhou Yuanyuan was willing to tell him, it would be strange for Zhou Zhixin to believe it.
Soldiers of this era are all atheists. Talking to an atheist about rebirth? Zhou Yuanyuan must be crazy.
In the end, Zhou Yuanyuan watched Zhou Zhixin die. After Zhou Zhixin left, Zhou Yuanyuan felt as if a weed had grown in her heart and was in a panic.
As Zhou Zhixin entered the village on his bicycle, he was stopped by someone.
The roads in Zhoujia Village aren't wide, but they can accommodate four people walking side by side. When Zhou Zhixin's bicycle was first blocked by Zhou Daniu, he thought it was unintentional. After changing direction twice and being blocked again, Zhou Zhixin felt something was amiss.
Although Zhou Chunping's family and Zhou Daniu were in the same production team, they didn't usually interact with each other. If they met on the street, they would just nod and say hello.
Zhou Zhixin was rushing home to visit Wu Jinfeng at this time. Seeing Zhou Daniu quietly blocking his way, he felt a little annoyed.
"Uncle Daniu, what's the matter?" Zhou Zhixin suppressed his unhappiness, supported the bicycle with one foot on the ground, but did not get off the bicycle, and acted as if he was ready to leave at any time.
It's been over a decade since Zhou Zhixin left Zhoujia Village to join the army. Whenever he returns home to visit his family, he's always polite to his fellow villagers. That's just how it is in the countryside; people who leave the countryside are considered promising. If Zhou Zhixin isn't warm and forthright with his fellow villagers after returning, they'll say he's too successful and looks down on them.
"Zhixin boy, uncle has something from the bottom of his heart to tell you." Zhou Daniu had a hunched back, looking older than his actual age. In addition, his expression at this moment was a little wretched, which made people feel disgusted.
But Zhou Daniu was not aware of it at all. He looked around with his cloudy eyes furtively, then approached Zhou Zhixin stealthily, ready to whisper something.
Zhou Daniu had a very bad reputation in Zhoujia Village, being a notorious scoundrel and bachelor. Speaking to such a man was considered beneath the villagers' dignity. Furthermore, Zhou Daniu often used this trick to trick the villagers into giving him cigarettes, and even Zhou Zhixin, who was rarely at home, had heard of it.
Zhou Zhixin thought Zhou Daniu was dissatisfied with him not offering cigarettes, so he sighed inwardly and took out a pack of "Dahongying" brand cigarettes from his jacket pocket.
Zhou Zhixin himself doesn't smoke. In Yuyuan County, where smokers are common, offering a cigarette before speaking is an unwritten rule. Of course, this isn't random; it's usually offered by younger people to older ones, or by subordinates to their superiors. When meeting a relative or friend of the same generation, if someone offers you a cigarette, you should return the favor.
Every time Zhou Zhixin went home, he would put a pack of cigarettes in his pocket and would never be rude when meeting relatives and friends.
