Inside a ward at the county hospital.
Li Zhaodi looked at her son lying unconscious on the hospital bed, her eyes filled with fear.
Wei Er secretly went to the Lin family's funeral without telling her, and she later specifically asked someone about it.
Such a morally reprehensible act will surely bring bad consequences.
Li Zhaodi recalled that after that incident, one misfortune after another struck her family, and nothing went smoothly.
She gritted her teeth and kept reassuring herself that it might just be a coincidence.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and buy some food, do you want me to starve to death?" Wei Er glared at her and started scolding her.
He's had a really bad day; he's been so angry he can't breathe.
The port will provide compensation, but he has to pay upfront now, and it's uncertain how much he will receive in the future.
Wei Er knew in his heart that whether his son could go back to work after the accident caused by his son leaving his post was another matter.
"The misdeeds you committed have brought all the suffering upon Asheng."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Er was very flustered and raised his voice even louder.
Knock, knock,
"Family members of the patient, please keep quiet and do not disturb other patients," a nurse said sternly as she entered the room.
Li Zhaodi pursed her lips, her eyes reddened, and she kept raising her hand to wipe away her tears.
She glared at Wei Er, not daring to continue speaking, afraid of being kicked out by the nurse.
"Li Zhaodi, I'm being lenient by not hitting you? You dare to say anything out loud." Wei Er lowered his voice, his gaze cold.
There was only one patient in the ward, and the bed next to him was clean and tidy, but he didn't dare to lie down on it, feeling it was bad luck.
"You know perfectly well what I'm saying. Can you honestly say you have a clear conscience about what happened to the Lin family?"
“Stopping the funeral procession is an outrage against heaven and earth, it’s retribution…” Li Zhaodi rarely showed such backbone.
The villagers now avoid her house, something she didn't realize at first.
A few days ago, when I passed by the big banyan tree in the village, some elderly people said they were afraid of getting bad luck from it.
The elderly avoid discussing funerals.
It is said that Wei Er's eagerness to stop the funeral procession will bring him retribution sooner or later.
"You..." Wei Er clutched his chest in anger, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
Even if he was in the wrong, he would argue his point. He suddenly stood up.
"Smack!"
Li Zhaodi glared at him resentfully and continued, "Go back to the village and listen to what's going on. Who dares to get too close to you now?"
Wei Er swayed for a moment, then slumped into the chair.
Isn't he afraid?
In truth, he was more afraid than anyone else, but at the time, he was blinded by greed and couldn't care less about anything else.
He knew the Lin family wouldn't renege on their debt, but he wanted his son to marry Lin Ziyan even more.
Who wouldn't want a treasure trove in their home?
Wei Er still firmly believes what the old Taoist priest said.
Later, his daughter came up with an idea, which he was about to implement, but then he encountered the task of arresting enemy agents, so he didn't dare to take action.
…
That evening, inside the Lin family's main room.
Grandma Lin is preparing things for the grave visit tomorrow.
The second sister, Xiaoxiao, helped out from the side.
"Grandma, have you heard about what happened to the Wei family?" Lin Ziyan asked, squatting down beside her.
She took an apple and ate it in small bites.
Jiaojiao followed her example, holding an apple as well, and squatted down next to her.
Grandma casually remarked, "Every cause has its effect; we shouldn't meddle in other people's business."
"But you, Fatty's already married, how long are you going to stay with Yun Shenchu?"
Lin Ziyan took a bite of the apple and suddenly realized it wasn't sweet; it was a bit sour.
She knew perfectly well how expensive fruit was these days.
Lu Yun Shen brought over a large bag, saying that eating more of it would be good for his health.
"Grandma, no rush," Lin Ziyan said, feigning composure.
She thought to herself, "They've only been dating for a short time, and they're already getting married..."
Grandma looked up at her, then went back to her work without asking any further questions.
She can go to the memorial service tomorrow, so we can burn more paper money, in case they don't have enough money to spend over there.
A short while later, Aunt Chen came in carrying several bags.
"Grandma, I've bought everything you wanted. Luckily it's market day today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find it all," Aunt Chen said, putting the items down.
She touched Jiaojiao's hair and sighed, "More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Time really flies."
He choked up a little at the end.
Lin Ziyan got up and poured her a glass of warm water.
Aunt Chen nodded with a smile, "Ayan, I'll have Ade accompany you to the memorial service tomorrow. The grass should have grown quite a bit taller by now."
Ah Tai quickly waved her hand, "No need, I'll have Ah Yan's boyfriend go with us tomorrow."
"Fatty and her husband are newly married, don't get involved in this."
Aunt Chen wanted to say something more, but then she stopped, thinking about the Wei family's affairs.
When Ah Tai heard that the funeral procession was being blocked, she just sneered and didn't utter a single curse word.
Lin Ziyan had no objections and would follow her grandmother's arrangements.
Because it was a new year, we held a memorial service before the Lunar New Year.
"Then I'll go back first. I have a lot to do tomorrow." Aunt Chen didn't linger and got up to leave.
The night wind was chilly, making one shiver.
Jiaojiao sneezed several times before she recovered.
…
Early the next morning,
When the Lin family went to pay their respects, all the gates to the courtyard were locked.
Aunt Qin stood at the door for a while, then put her hands behind her back, about to leave, when she heard the murmur of conversation.
"I told you long ago, the Wei family was going to be in big trouble."
"I heard that Wei Sheng is looking for a son-in-law from the Chen family..."
After hearing this, Aunt Qin turned around and walked towards the Chen family.
She couldn't find an outlet for her anger, so she just pushed the blame for the accident onto that son-in-law who moved in with her family, and that would solve everything.
Could the Chen family possibly protect someone from outside the family?
Qin Atai originally intended to come to the Lin family today to pay respects at their graves.
She feared that her son might be haunted by evil spirits if he had stopped the funeral procession at that time.
That's what everyone in the village thinks now.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
