Chapter 158: Terrifying Cry

Chapter 158: Terrifying Cry

Xiuzhu has been in a bad mood these past two days because she is addicted to gambling. She loses every day after playing for a few days, and the more she plays, the bigger the bets, the more she loses.

All in all, she has lost 50 yuan so far...

Gu Yu’s salary, not counting other subsidies, is only 90 yuan a month.

Maybe it was a sudden realization, or maybe it was a spur-of-the-moment idea.

In short, she now wants to be a good person and a good wife. She can't let her husband work hard outside while she is such a spendthrift.

She decided to quit gambling and never touch playing cards again. If she did, she would be like a dog.

"Let's go to Cui'er's house to play with her children," Xiuzhu suggested.

She had to find some other activities for herself, otherwise she was afraid that she would feel itchy again and could take the opportunity to "retaliate" against Cui'er by beating up her child.

Who makes Cui'er always win and she always loses? She is just jealous.

Seeing Xiuzhu and Gu Tong coming home, Old Mrs. Feng was very warm and took out the frozen pears and apples that she usually didn't want to eat to treat them.

Xiuzhu and Gu Tong followed the old lady's instructions, peeled off the skin, and then sucked the pear juice directly from their mouths, eating the pear flesh and juice together. It was indeed as Grandma Feng said, very delicious.

However, without Gu Yu watching over her, she accidentally indulged herself in food.

Xiuzhu lay listlessly on the kang in Feng's house, burning her stomach, regretting that she should not have eaten so much cold food.

Grandma Feng was worried about her daughter going home in this state, and she refused to let them go. She insisted on keeping them at home and taking care of them herself, saying that she would let Da Zhuang send them back after dinner.

Xiuzhu and Gu Tong couldn't persuade the old lady, and finally, they had dinner at Feng's house.

Dinner consisted of two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes: fried bacon with potato slices, fried eggs with green onions, stewed cabbage, and pickled radish.

The bacon was the same one that Gu Yu had given him before. This kind of food was used by ordinary families to entertain guests nowadays. It was indeed very sumptuous.

It’s just that Xiuzhu has always been spoiled by Gu Yu, and Gu Tong also eats well in Beijing, so the two of them didn’t think there was anything wrong.

Mrs. Feng is a good cook. Xiuzhu and Gu Tong both love her food, but they have small appetites and can't eat much.

At the dinner table, the old lady was passionately telling the children about the Japanese invasion of the village and the famine that occurred.

Xiuzhu listened very carefully, because these were all the themes of her comic strips!

"Oh, it was hard back then. There was a famine and no food to eat. In order to avoid starving to death, we ate everything, even tree bark. Some people even ate the flesh of dead people." Whenever the old lady thinks of the hard days before, she will especially cherish the hard-earned life before her.

She took a bite of rice, her face showing a very satisfied expression.

Gu Tong frowned as he listened to this, and felt that this was simply unbelievable. Eating the flesh of a dead person would be better than starving to death!

She is somewhat of a "why not eat meat?" type of person.

Gu Tong has been the only daughter of the Gu family since she was young. Her two brothers are older than her, and she has never had a hard day.

She is even worse than Xiuzhu. When Xiuzhu was in Hong Kong, she suffered a lot for a few days.

So, she knew how difficult it was to live without money and food. At that time, when Zhou Cuihua brought her the leftover chicken from others, she ate it with relish.

There is no need to be pretentious or stubborn at all. As long as you are not hungry, it's good enough.

But when she heard Grandma Feng talking about eating dead people's flesh late at night, she was somewhat frightened.

The door was banging in the wind outside, which sounded horrible. The more Xiuzhu tried to ignore it, the more clearly she could hear it.

It seemed... as if someone was really crying outside the door, the sound of a woman's suppressed sobs.

Did the person who was eaten hear everyone buzzing at her behind her back, so she came looking for her?

Xiuzhu hugged Gu Tong's arm and spoke in a trembling voice, "Okay, okay, it seems like someone is crying, did you hear it?"

"No, I didn't hear it. Sister-in-law, your stomach hurts again. Why can't you speak clearly?" Gu Tong was still in shock and didn't calm down to listen to any sound.

Cui'er's ears were filled with her son's calls, but she didn't hear anything.

Grandma Feng is old and has poor hearing, so she can't hear at all.

…

Xiuzhu was almost scared to tears. She really heard someone crying outside the door. Why did this ghost choose her?

Could you please not let her be the only one causing trouble?

Although I cannot be called a good person, I am not a bad person either. I have never had the intention of harming anyone.

Feng Dazhuang had to work overtime today and came back later than usual. He was counting on his fingers how many days he had not seen his wife.

In fact, Cui'er would go home to see her son after cooking during the day, but she could not return home at night. Feng Dazhuang worked during the day, which was a perfect avoidance of time for him.

“Wuwuwu…”

"Xiao Lian?"

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell me." Feng Dazhuang saw that the person squatting in the corner crying was his sister, so he ran up quickly, pulled her up from the ground and asked.

Xiaolian didn't want her family to worry about her, but she couldn't control her emotions, "Woo woo woo, brother, I'm fine, I just miss my family."

"Come into the house first," Feng Dazhuang said.

Seeing that his sister was frozen to the bone, he felt angry and distressed.

This silly girl, I don’t know how long she has been outside. She didn’t even know to knock on the door. There is no need for her to be so polite to her family.

Xiuzhu looked at the woman who came in and threw herself into Grandma Feng's arms and cried bitterly, and finally understood what was going on...

Where do the stories about ghosts and gods come from? We should believe in science.

But what’s going on with Feng Xiaolian? Why didn't she come in when she came to her eldest brother's house? She kept crying outside for so long that she was scared for a while.

"Xiao Lian, don't be afraid. Tell grandma what happened. How did the Wei family bully you?" Old Mrs. Feng continued to ask her granddaughter who was crying without saying a word.

She was also helpless. Her granddaughter had a soft temper and always swallowed all the bitterness. She didn't know how badly she was bullied this time, so she couldn't help but run to Dazhuang.

"Feng Xiaolian, if you don't tell me, I'm going to the Wei family right now and catch that bastard Wei Desheng and beat him up." Feng Dazhuang was in a bad mood and was about to put on his coat and go outside.

Feng Xiaolian hurried forward and grabbed his arm, sobbing, "Wuwuwu, brother, I said, I said it's not enough, don't go."

"Wei Desheng, he, he had an affair with a widow in the village, and he also beat me, wuwuwu."

Old Mrs. Feng was so angry that she could hardly stand. She asked her granddaughter, "When did you find out? When did you find out that he was having an affair?"

"It's been more than a month." Feng Xiaolian's eyes were a little evasive, she didn't dare to look at her family.

She was a married woman and didn't want to cause trouble to her family. What's more, Wei Desheng knelt down with her and slapped himself in the face. She thought he would change for the better!

She did change for the better and started caring about him, but that only lasted about ten days before he became impatient with her and even hit her.

Mrs. Feng was disappointed when she heard this. She didn't expect her granddaughter to be so soft-hearted and confused. She slowly said, "He went out to mess around and even hit you, Feng Xiaolian. Do you really think there is no one left in our Feng family? You have three brothers to back you up, and Dazhuang is a police officer. What is there to be afraid of? Why do you have to endure it and suffer this injustice by yourself?"

"Damn it! I'm going to kill him. How dare he bully my sister like this? If I don't kill him, I won't be named Feng." Feng Dazhuang was furious and his eyes were wide open with anger.

Coupled with his rough face and tall stature, he is really scary.

Xiuzhu silently lit a candle for Wei Desheng.

…Bah, a cheating and domestic violence man, you’re not even worthy of a candle, just prepare to die!
