In the Meng family yard, Meng Sheng enthusiastically poured water for his mother-in-law to wash her face. After Zhang Xiu finished washing, he ran to the kitchen to get new hot water for the other people.
After that, he brought out some roasted nuts such as melon seeds and peanuts and asked everyone to come into the house to warm themselves by the fire and eat.
Outside the yard, many villagers who had followed Zhang Xiu and his group out of curiosity, unafraid of the cold, were talking in low voices.
"Tsk tsk, it's true that city people are better off. Zhang Xiu looks more beautiful now than she did more than ten years ago!" said an aunt.
A shameless bachelor made a face and said obscenely: "How come the water in the city can nourish people?
If you ask me, it should be the strong man next to her who nurtured her."
The old lady spitted and scolded with a smile: "You are an old bachelor and you don't even have a wife, what do you know!"
The old bachelor grumbled in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with me not having a wife?
Women can still sleep with you and change their taste from time to time!"
Seeing that the talk was getting more and more outrageous, and there were even children among the people joining in the fun, an aunt couldn't stand it anymore and coughed and changed the subject: "I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and she just showed up now. Do you think Feng Yi's family will still recognize her mother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people quickly took over.
“Definitely.
I want a military officer as my stepfather, and even if he's not my biological mother, I'll cry and shout to acknowledge him!"
"I'd admit it if you asked me to. Apart from anything else, having a well-off family means I can stand up straighter when I live with my husband in the future!"
"Look at what he's wearing, he's obviously a wealthy and powerful city dweller.
If someone lets something slip out of their hands, we can enjoy it endlessly. Only a fool would deny it!"
·····
Everyone envied Feng Yi's family for suddenly having a wealthy relative. As they were expressing their envy and jealousy, they suddenly heard a series of high-pitched and shrill screams coming from the yard.
"Ah, ah, there's a ghost!"
When everyone heard this, they felt the wind blowing around them became even colder.
They all looked up at the sky and felt a little relieved.
Although the sun, like a fried egg, is not very warm, it is still hanging in the sky. In broad daylight, even ghosts would not dare to come out.
Zhang Xiu in the yard looked at her ex-husband floating in front of her with a swollen and purple face, and felt like she was going crazy.
She turned around and stumbled a few steps before throwing herself on top of her man, burying her head in his arms. She was shaking all over, no longer caring about pretending to be weak. She closed her eyes and screamed, "Don't come over here, don't come over here!"
Yang Tiejun hugged his wife and looked around. Apart from the shabby house, he didn't see anything wrong. His children looked the same. He didn't know what his wife was up to, so he patted her back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, how could there be a ghost in broad daylight?
There are so many of us here, you must be seeing things!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu raised her head slightly and opened her eyes a little, then saw the face of her ex-husband when he died, right in front of her.
She was so frightened that her body shuddered, she screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
Feng Youcai shook his transparent head. Twenty years had passed, and this woman was still the same, thoughtful and timid, and she loved to throw herself into people's arms when she was frightened.
Back then, he often scared Zhang Xiu and liked to see her clinging to him.
Now it’s not surprising to see her throwing herself into another man’s arms.
After spending several years together, I have already figured out her character. She is a dodder who can only rely on men to survive.
He did not blame his wife for getting married before he was dead, but he blamed her for not caring about their daughter at all.
This caused Xiaoguai to suffer so much at such a young age.
So whenever he got the chance, Feng Youcai wanted to vent his anger on behalf of his daughter.
But this man was too easily frightened. He swayed twice and then fainted.
Looking at the unconscious Zhang Xiu, Feng Youcai felt that he had the opportunity to personally avenge the hatred that had been weighing on his heart.
He looked at his son-in-law with a much better impression. He walked over to Meng Sheng and praised him, "I didn't expect that the willow branch water you made was so useful!
Is there any more?
Why don't you hurry up and get more so that I can find a chance to give it to my two brothers and their families, so that I can get them back for bullying my daughter!"
Meng Sheng nodded quickly: "Yes!"
The daughter-in-law has been wandering for more than 20 years. Except for life-and-death feuds, she has become indifferent to all other grudges.
After being reborn, she only thought about revenge on the brothers Meng Yun and Meng Yu, and ignored other people unless they came near her.
After all, those people in the Feng family are his daughter-in-law's family. Since Feng Yijia didn't mention it, he couldn't do anything about it. Now that his father-in-law has taken action, he can't wait to hand over the knife to cheer him on.
The man and the ghost were discussing how to continue scaring people. Yang Tiejun hugged his limp wife and shouted anxiously, "Xiu'er, Xiu'er, wake up, wake up!"
The three children behind them probably haven't established a complete set of values yet and are not firm materialists.
Seeing their mother's reaction, they looked at each other in shock and confusion, and then they all felt that the house became gloomy and scary. They all stepped back and retreated to the outside of the courtyard. They felt safer standing among the crowd.
Yang Tiejun and his group came suddenly and left suddenly.
Zhang Xiu was unconscious for only two or three minutes before her husband pinched her on the Ren Zhong point to wake her up. When she opened her eyes and saw her ex-husband's grimacing face again, she couldn't say all the words she had prepared, and she was so scared that she wet her pants.
Then, without caring about her purpose of coming, she pulled her husband away crying and shouting, feeling embarrassed and scared.
Yang Tiejun, who had rolled among the dead, didn't really believe in ghosts. He just thought it was a revisit to an old place and his wife, who was in poor health, was hallucinating.
But he loved his wife and didn't mind her wet pants. He nodded to Meng Sheng and Feng Yiji, and without saying a word, he picked up his crying wife and walked out of the yard.
Feng Youcai chased after her and floated out, vowing to vent his anger and teach her a profound lesson, so that the heartless woman would never dare to approach his daughter again for any reason.
So on the way out of the village, the woman's shrill screams pierced the villagers' eardrums from time to time, and a lot of snow on the trees on both sides was shaken off.
Outside the yard, the villagers who were watching were so confused by the scene that they were not sure whether there was really a ghost during the day, and they dispersed with uneasiness.
In the courtyard, Feng Yijia felt a little sympathetic towards his mother.
I don't know if this scare will cause someone to have some problems?
However, compared to her mother who had no feelings, she was more worried about her father whose heart and eyes were filled with her. She wondered if he would feel sad when he saw her appear with another man and child?
