"My daughter, is it true that my daughter has woken up?"
"My dear, this is the old hen I brought. Could you please help me stew it?"
As soon as Ma Xinghua heard the news that her daughter had woken up, she immediately rushed over with an old hen.
I thought that if I made it at my in-laws’ house, my daughter could have two meals of hot soup.
If she made it at home and brought it over, it would probably be cold by the time she got there.
"I'm awake. I've been awake for a while and am eating now!"
Zheng Xiulian took the old hen sent by her in-laws and put it in the kitchen and covered it with a backpack.
Then he followed her to Tang Xinyi's room.
"Oh, my dearest, my dearest daughter!"
"You've suffered a lot this time. If it weren't for your sister-in-law's severe pregnancy reactions and needing someone to advise her, I really would have wanted to stay by your side all day long!"
As soon as she entered the house, Ma Xinghua hugged her daughter.
Tang Xinyi, who was drinking soup with a spoon, had to raise her hands to let her mother vent first.
During this period, not only her husband's family but also her own family were troubled by her.
The doctors in the county were helpless against her symptoms, and Jiang Yanzhi even wanted to send her to the provincial capital for treatment.
But he was stopped by an old doctor in the hospital.
"Your wife isn't ill. It seems she's attracted some unclean creature. I'm telling you this because I see you truly care about your wife!"
"Young man, I mean this with good intentions, you can't betray me!"
The old doctor left after he finished speaking, without giving him a chance to ask more questions.
After Jiang Yanzhi returned home, he told his parents and mother-in-law about this matter, and they all thought it made sense.
Then he asked about some things that happened before Tang Xinyi fell ill, and finally confirmed that she must have been possessed by an evil spirit.
Ma Xinghua, in particular, insisted that her daughter was either lost or possessed by evil spirits.
The reason was simple. The bamboo forest they visited the day before was not far from where the old man of the Tang family was buried.
It must be that Tang Xinyi did not go to pay her respects when she passed by there, so the old man got angry and took away her soul.
The reason why my daughter has no other symptoms so far may be because the old man did not really want to send her to the underworld, but to teach her a lesson.
Seeing that Ma Xinghua spoke so convincingly, the few people began to believe it a little.
Although the Four Olds Campaign has been going on for a long time, people outside are still very taboo about these superstitious remarks.
But the history of shaman dancing in Northeast China is very long, and it doesn’t mean that no one will believe it just because the government says it is forbidden.
At least the village chief Jiang Xian, and Zheng Xiulian and Ma Xinghua all believed it.
Since she couldn't be cured in the hospital, Tang Xinyi was taken back home.
Jiang Xian personally went to the cowshed to invite the old woman who had performed the shaman dance that day. He heard that this person was a spirit medium, and later she even lost her own temple because of the trouble she had caused.
Now he is locked up in the cowshed and forced to work every day.
The villagers might be harsh on other people, but they would try to avoid this old woman whenever possible.
Even those who wore armbands, when they encountered this woman, only gave her a symbolic parade and then locked her up.
It’s not that those people are not devout enough in their faith, but because this woman is really evil.
Anyone who is disrespectful to her will suffer from some minor illness to a greater or lesser extent.
So as long as there are no extremists, this old woman's life is quite leisurely.
Apart from the fact that she lived in a shabby place, no one dared to mess with her.
"My dear, I'm sorry for delaying your meal!"
After crying for a long time, Ma Xinghua finally got tired and let go of her daughter.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but a smile was on his face.
"Mom, it's your daughter who made you worry!"
"Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat some more with me?"
After crying in my mother's arms, Tang Xinyi's eyes were wet.
If her mother didn't let her go, she might start crying too.
"I've eaten, hurry up and eat. Look at how much you've been suffering these days. Your face has become so skinny!"
Ma Xinghua finally calmed down. She sat on the kang and watched her daughter eat.
"Mom, why don't you eat something with me? You've been so worried about me these past few days. Not only has Xinyi lost weight, but you've lost a lot too!"
Jiang Yanzhi called Ma Xinghua "mother" all the time.
Ma Xinghua felt relieved when she heard this, and she kept praising her daughter for marrying the right person.
"I really have eaten, you and Xinyi should eat quickly!"
"You've suffered a lot during this period. If we had known the cause of the disease earlier, we wouldn't have had to spend so many days in the hospital!"
"Grandpa is such a jerk! This was his favorite granddaughter when he was alive. How could he have the nerve to mess with Xinyi?"
"I've already bought some incense and candles and have been chanting. Later, you two can go and burn some incense and have a good talk with the old man!"
"He didn't mean to hurt Xinyi. He must be missing his granddaughter!"
The more Ma Xinghua spoke, the lower her voice became. This kind of thing cannot be talked about openly.
That was why she dared to grumble because there was no one else in the room.
Whenever there was an outsider around, they didn't dare tell anyone that they had consulted a fortune teller.
"Alas, this matter is my fault. I took Xinyi to the bamboo forest!"
"If I had known the old man was there, I would have definitely told him in advance, so Xinyi wouldn't have to suffer this hardship!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yanzhi also felt uncomfortable.
It was because he didn't take good care of his young wife that she suffered.
"Mom, when I get better, I'll go see Grandpa!"
"It's not necessarily Grandpa's fault. Maybe some other evil spirit wanted to harm me, and it was because I went to the bamboo forest that Grandpa saved me!"
"Grandpa loved me the most when I was little. He wouldn't let me suffer even a little bit!"
Tang Xinyi didn't want her family to blame the deceased old man. She had seen with her own eyes how much the old man loved the original owner. Even if there were ghosts in this world, the old man would definitely not hurt her.
After all, both the original owner and she are the old man's granddaughters.
It’s impossible that the old man won’t recognize her after her soul goes out for a journey and comes back, right?
"I think what Xinyi said makes sense. According to what you said, the old man treats Xinyi with all his heart. How could he do anything to hurt her?"
"Maybe it's just like what my wife said, and we just misunderstood!"
Jiang Yanzhi also understood what his young wife meant. No matter what the reason was, as long as his young wife was well, it was fine.
There was also the witch who said that her young wife's soul was a little unstable, so she had to go to the black market to find some connections and see if there was anything that could stabilize her soul.
If this happens again, he really can't bear it.
If there really is evil in this world, then go find him, don't harm his wife.
His wife is so delicate and soft, how can she withstand all this?
