Zhang Meng rubbed his hair again and said with a smile, "If you don't know how to draw, Sister Xiao Meng will teach you. As long as you study hard, you'll be fine."
"Really, Sister Xiaomeng, you really have to teach me how to draw talisman paper!" Xiaobao looked at her in disbelief.
Zhang Meng smiled and pinched his cheek this time, "How can something like this be fake?"
"Wow, that's great, thank you Sister Xiaomeng." Xiaobao happily grabbed her hand and jumped and shouted.
His move left the remaining villagers stunned.
Zhang Meng smiled as well. Seeing the villagers looking over here, Zhang Meng finally remembered what he was doing.
He immediately called over the third wife who had been standing nearby and whispered a few words in her ear.
Grandma San nodded at first, but suddenly hesitated after hearing the last part. She looked up at Zhang Meng who was talking in her ear and said, "Xiao Meng, isn't this a bit too much? This much, how much will it cost?"
Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Third Auntie, it's okay. It's just a small amount of money. The villagers have helped me a lot today. Now I want them to come with me. This little money is nothing."
Grandma San patted the back of her hand and said, "Grandma San knows, but don't worry too much. Grandma San and the villagers all know what kind of person you are. If the Zhong family dares to continue to wrongly accuse you, everyone in our village will be irreconcilable with them."
"Thank you, Auntie San." Zhang Meng held her hand touched.
From the time of rebirth until now, the third grandmother in front of them has provided the most help to their family.
Soon, Grandma San walked up to the villagers and talked for a while. Before long, the villagers became excited.
"Wow, I get one dollar for every trip. That's great! I'll go then. I'm just helping Xiao Meng anyway. I don't want the work points for the day."
"Wow, Zhang Laosan, you sound really nice when you say that. What do you mean by helping Xiao Meng? I think you're just greedy for that dollar."
Zhang Laosan immediately replied unconvincedly, "So what? If you don't want Xiao Meng's dollar, just give it to me and I'll go for you."
"You're dreaming! That dollar can buy two kilograms of coarse grain. Only a fool would go there."
When Zhang Meng went to Zhongjia Village to find out what was going on, she was followed by a large group of villagers.
Xiaobao, who went with them, finally met his friends at the entrance of the village. He shouted and immediately a group of young villagers followed him. The huge team entered Zhongjia Village. The villagers of Zhongjia Village were so scared that they thought bandits had entered the village. They threw away their tools and ran over from the fields.
"What are you people from Zhangjia Village doing in our village?" Some villagers from Zhongjia Village recognized that they were from Zhangjia Village and asked with a trembling tone.
The people of Zhangjia Village have been difficult to deal with recently. I heard that a powerful witch appeared in their village, and now no one from the surrounding villages dares to provoke Zhangjia Village.
"Don't be afraid. We are not here to cause trouble to your village. In fact, it is you villagers from Zhongjia Village who are here to cause trouble to me. We are looking for Zhong Dayong's family. Could you please point out where their home is? Thank you." Zhang Meng explained kindly to the villagers from Zhongjia Village who followed him.
When the Zhong villagers heard that the troublemakers were not from their own village but were looking for Zhong Dayong's family, their curiosity was aroused. They immediately put on a gossipy face and asked, "What happened? What did Zhong Dayong's family do?"
"Don't you know that his daughter-in-law died?" Zhang Meng asked the villager with a smile.
"What, Cuihua is dead?" "Did you know that Cuihua was dead?" The villager immediately turned around and asked his companion behind him.
"I don't know when it happened. I only heard that Cuihua was going to give birth, but I haven't heard that she died."
Zhang Meng glanced at them. It seemed that the Zhong family really had some unspeakable secret. Otherwise, how could someone die without even the people living in the same village knowing about it?
Soon these gossipy villagers came up to ask questions, but Zhang Meng just smiled and ignored them, and continued to lead the villagers to Zhong Dayong's home.
When she arrived at Zhong Dayong's house, Zhang Meng realized that there really are extremely poor families in this society.
She thought her family was poor enough before, but she didn't expect there were families poorer than theirs.
The Zhong family's house was as rotten as a cowshed. Even the straw on the roof must have been there for several years and was about to rot into mud.
I pushed open the rickety fence door, and it was quiet inside, with no crying sound at all.
Zhang Meng stood at the door and made a hushing gesture to the villagers behind him.
At this time, the voices of Zhong Dayong and his mother talking were heard from inside.
"Mom, what should I do? Cuihua is dead now. What should I do in the future?"
Zhong Dayong's sad voice was heard from inside.
"What should I do? How would I know? When I first got this secret recipe for childbirth, the Goddess promised me that if your wife took the pills, she would definitely give birth to a son. You saw it too. She did get pregnant after taking the pills. This proves that the Goddess's medicine is fine."
Zhang Meng, who was standing at the door, listened to the words coming from inside, and the corners of her mouth turned cold. It has come to this point, and this old woman surnamed Zhong is still making excuses for that so-called fortune-teller. It's really something.
Zhong Dayong's muffled voice came out again, "But Cuihua is dead now, and she died so tragically. Mom, I, I don't dare to go to my room now. I always feel like Cuihua is looking at me. I'm scared."
"You're so useless! She's just a dead woman. Why are you afraid of her? Let's take her to the mountain and bury her at night when no one is around."
