Feng's mother slapped Feng Linshu, saying, "Tell me, what did you do? Why are you going to be drowned in a pig cage?"
Feng Linshu kept his head down and didn't say a word. However, his appearance and expression made him look somewhat lost and haggard.
"Second Brother, what exactly happened? How come you... weren't you with Sister Tingting?" Feng Biluo asked Feng Linshu, "It was Qian Duoduo's scheme."
“Tingting wants to break up with me for no reason, and she even said that we should part amicably.” Upon hearing this, Feng Linshu gave a bitter smile. “She said we should part amicably.”
Feng Biluo was surprised. Gu Tingting was a supporting female character in the original novel, and she was also a sharp-tongued and mean-spirited supporting female character. Of course, in Feng Biluo's memory, although she had a bad temper and liked to argue with people, she was not a bad person.
She and Feng Linshu were childhood sweethearts, and she was very fond of him. When the ghosts invaded the village, everyone went to take refuge. At that time, the two of them went to find food together and formed a life-and-death friendship through an accident.
As she got older, she started talking about marriage. Gu Tingting is twenty years old this year, which is much earlier than what people in rural areas would normally expect.
The problem is that Gu Tingting's family is superstitious. They want to keep Gu Tingting until she is twenty years old for the sake of their son. Although Feng Linshu is not happy about this, he has no objection and plans to wait until she is twenty.
Feng Linshu and Feng Linqi were born one after the other, only ten months apart, with no difference of a year. Feng Linshu was a premature baby, but fortunately, the days when he was born were relatively good, so he survived.
"What exactly happened to Second Brother?" Feng Biluo asked. Feng Linshu remained silent, leaning to the side. When Feng Biluo looked at him, she couldn't help but frown.
She was about to ask someone else when Feng's mother looked at Feng Linshu and said, "Tell me, is there something you're hiding? Tell me... do you not want to live anymore? The people of Gujia Village said they're going to drown you in a pig cage. Do you not want to live anymore?"
The early 1950s was the most chaotic time of the year, with all sorts of demons and monsters. Things like drowning people in pig cages and child brides still existed. Feng Linshu was caught cheating and was supposed to be drowned in a pig cage.
Feng Biluo carried Feng Baobao outside. She tried to ask someone for directions, but no one paid any attention. "Feng Biluo... come here for a moment." Feng Biluo walked over to a girl not far away.
"Are you here to gather information?" the girl asked, looking at Feng Biluo. "Don't you recognize me? I'm the sister-in-law of the widow who cheated on your second brother."
"What do you want with me?" Feng Biluo was slightly taken aback when she heard this. "How did my second brother get involved with your sister-in-law? What about Gu Tingting?"
“You asked Gu Ting, is that woman possessed these days? A few days ago she suddenly said she wanted to break up with your brother, and because of this, your second brother has been coming to see her all the time. Last night, Feng Linshu had sex with my sister-in-law.” The girl said, “I suspect Gu Ting is behind it.”
"Gu Ting?" Feng Biluo was stunned. Why would Gu Ting break off her engagement with Feng Linshu for no reason? Feng Biluo thought of a possibility: could she have been reincarnated? If it was a rebirth, based on her understanding of Gu Ting, it was impossible for her to break off the engagement.
"I understand. You came to see me? Is there something you need?" Feng Biluo asked the girl, whose name was Gu Xiaohua. Gu Xiaohua looked at Feng Biluo.
"I hope you can save my sister-in-law. My older brother is in poor health, and my sister-in-law, Gu Ting, is my best friend. She left the night she married into the family. She has been well-behaved and hasn't done anything wrong. I told my mother, but she doesn't believe me. I hope you can save her. My mother is determined to kill my sister-in-law," Gu Xiaohua said.
Gu Ting had a very good relationship with her and took good care of her after she entered the family. Gu Ting did all the housework by herself, which often made her mother unhappy. Although she wanted to help, she couldn't do anything about her mother's affairs.
These days, my second brother needs to go to school, and my mother planned to sell my sister-in-law. But she didn't expect that my sister-in-law would jump into a well. When she woke up, she was in a daze and seemed stupid. My mother thought that she could fool people by making them not talk.
But before she could sell the woman, Feng Linshu slept with her. Looking at Feng Biluo, she said, "My mother just wants money. Give my mother money and make her change her mind. Say that your sister-in-law was sold to your family from the beginning to be your second brother's wife. My mother will definitely agree. As for how much money, you can decide for yourself. I'm leaving now."
Gu Xiaohua looked at Feng Biluo and said, "By the way, Feng Biluo, you have to be careful of that woman Gu Ting. I think she's strange. She must have done what happened to my sister-in-law. Although I don't have any evidence, the problem is that one day I saw her coming from that side, and afterwards your second brother and sister-in-law were caught cheating."
"Okay, I understand." Feng Biluo nodded when she heard this. She had originally planned to go to Gu Ting's house, but after a moment's thought, she decided it would be better to go to Gu Xiaohua's house instead.
Feng Biluo went to Gu Xiaohua's house. Gu Xiaohua had gone to work, and Xiaohua's mother was inside cursing and swearing, "You vixen, shameless... You said you would be a widow for my son, but in the blink of an eye you're having an affair with someone else. I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death."
Thinking about how her money had vanished, Xiaohua's mother was furious. Her second son was growing up and about to get married. With her eldest son's wife already married and her father gone, keeping him at home was just a waste of food. So she decided to sell him to raise money for her second son's wedding.
Of course she couldn't bear to part with her own daughter, Gu Xiaohua, but the problem was that Gu Ting, that slut, had actually committed adultery, causing her family to lose all face and end up with nothing. She was determined to make that Feng family suffer a terrible fate.
"Who are you?" Xiaohua's mother frowned as she saw someone knocking on the door. She didn't recognize Feng Biluo. Feng Biluo was holding a child in her arms. She was not bad-looking and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt [because she was in a hurry to leave, Feng Biluo forgot to wear a long-sleeved shirt]. However, she didn't like the child.
It's normal for Gu Xiaohua to know Feng Biluo. Feng Biluo and Feng Linshu came to see Gu Ting, and Gu Xiaohua already had a good relationship with Gu Ting at that time, which is why they met.
"I am Feng Linshu's younger sister, Feng Biluo," Feng Biluo said. Upon hearing this, Xiaohua's mother's expression immediately changed.
"How dare you come to collect your brother's body? Let me tell you, I want that adulterer dead. How could that adulterer do this to my son? Let me tell you... none of you will be able to take anyone away." Looking at Feng Biluo in front of her, she said, "Our Gu Family Village is not easy to bully. If people from your Feng Family Village come, then we are in the right. The adulterer and the jinx must die."
