Chapter 14: Broom Star

Sanlang went over and grabbed the old Taoist's robe tightly, almost kneeling down, and begged loudly. He became anxious when he thought that the days when he could have fish and meat without having to work would fly away.

"Old Immortal, please tell me how to get rid of the bad luck, please."

The old Taoist priest looked at Sanlang and stroked his beard. Silang also came to beg him. He was worried that if Sanlang had a bad fate, he would not be able to eat well in the future. The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Since I have read your fortune, it is fate. It is my turn to eliminate this disaster for you. I can only tell you that the black mist on your head is because there is someone with bad luck around you. This person has a bad fate and it also affects the people around him."

"Isn't this a lucky star?"

A voice came out from the crowd, and everyone started talking about it. In the end, they talked about the Shen family's new daughter-in-law who had a serious illness. Since this daughter-in-law came into the family, the Shen family has hired doctors and medicines, but it has cost a lot of money. The third daughter-in-law of the Shen family also had a miscarriage. Now this old Taoist priest said that Erlang's rich life was ruined and turned into a poor life. All this was discovered after that woman came into the family. The more he talked, the more weird it became. In a blink of an eye, Su Zhi became a jinx who was entangled in bad luck and brought misfortune to others. What they said was very detailed.

When Sanlang heard someone say that his fourth uncle's new wife was an unlucky person, someone who had affected his good fortune, he immediately pushed through the crowd and ran home.

Shiro shouted and followed behind.

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other, worried in their eyes, and ran after him.

The Taoist priest looked at the children following him, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face. Unfortunately, no one noticed. Even if they did, they would think that the Taoist priest was smiling mysteriously. In fact, he was only invited by Shen Ziping. The things he had calculated in the village these days were all done by Shen Ziping and his helpers. For example, the family that found the hairpin had stolen it, and then he threw it under the big willow tree. For example, the villager who had a bloody disaster, the stone was not thrown by the children, but by Shen Ziping. There were other things that were done in the same way. Some of the old Taoist priest's stories were pure nonsense. He was in this business, and it was very easy for him to deceive a group of villagers with his eloquence and intelligence.

This was the trick that Shen Ziping and Sun had planned long ago. They wanted to describe the fourth son's wife as an unlucky person. That way, the family would definitely not keep them anymore and the villagers would not think that they had a bad family tradition. This time, they wanted to make the villagers afraid of that woman and drive them out of the village!

After Sanlang ran back home, he went to find his parents first, crying and shouting at them to kick out Fourth Aunt, and then told them what had happened.

Shen Ziping and Sun were both very happy, as their wish came true. Shen Ziping grabbed Sanlang and told him not to tell anyone that he had paid him to have his fortune told, otherwise people would think they wanted to kick him out and would not believe that Zhao Xiaomei was an unlucky person, and his good fortune would turn into a bad one.

Sanlang nodded quickly. He had never thought that his father would let him take the money to have his fortune told. It was a prearranged play, so his fate might not be what the old Taoist said. He just believed that everything the old Taoist said was true.

Actually, Shen Ziping wanted to go to a fortune teller himself, but he had been pretending to have a backache for the past few days. Also, if he went as an adult, people would be suspicious, but if a child went, people would be more likely to believe him.

Sun asked Shen Ziping to stay in the house and pretend that he couldn't get out of bed, and asked Chunhua to help her go to the main room. She cried and told her the whole story from beginning to end.

"Dad, Mom, now the old gods say that there is a bad luck in our family! I was wondering why our family is always so unlucky. Silang's father has a backache and can't get out of bed. I almost lost my child. And my eldest brother went up the mountain a few days ago and rolled down the slope and broke his head. My second brother went to the city to do odd jobs, and he deducted his wages. And my second sister-in-law, she clearly went to pray to the Goddess of Childbirth and spent a lot of money. She should have been pregnant this year, but she still hasn't. I am pregnant, but this blessing can't resist the evil spirit. My poor child! Why are there so many bad things? It turns out that someone brought them all to our Shen family!"

Li's face turned pale. She had given birth to three daughters in a row, and then her stomach became quiet. She was upset that she had not given birth to a boy. Now that Sun had torn her apart, she felt uncomfortable.

Li's eldest daughter, Chunyue, couldn't bear to see Third Aunt using this matter to irritate her mother, so she said softly, "My mother is not pregnant, but Third Aunt is. It seems that the baby in Third Aunt's belly is not ordinary, and I don't know where it came from."

"Where did it come from?! Where did it come from?" Sun Shi became anxious when she heard Chunyue's tone, and said, "Of course it came from good fortune, otherwise how could it be able to resist that unlucky star?! You are a little girl, why are you talking about such things? You are so shameless!"

Chuncao, who was older, glared at her and said, "You are not allowed to scold my sister. You are shameless!"

Chunyun was young, and when she saw her sister being scolded, she burst into tears.

Li hugged Chunyun with tears in her eyes and turned into the house. Chunyue and Chuncao also glared at Sun and followed her into the house to comfort their mother.

Shen Zhang glared at Sun and said, "Why are you trying to get involved with others? Be careful not to ruin the blessing of the baby in your belly!" Shen Zhang was also dissatisfied with Li for not giving birth to a son, but she was the only one who could say that, not Sun. No matter how bad Li was, she was good at work and was much better than Sun. She didn't want Sun to make Li angry.

Sun said hesitantly, "I am telling the truth. It must be because of the unlucky star in the family that the second sister-in-law didn't get pregnant this year. She was not likely to have a son in the first place, and now she has even less chance. I was able to hold on because I was destined to have a son, but didn't I almost get pregnant this time?! Dad, Mom, there is a unlucky star in our family. It must be the fourth son's wife! Look at her illnesses. It must be God punishing her because she is an unlucky star with evil spirits all over her body! I dare not live with her anymore!"

Shen Zhang's heart moved. She had wanted to kick Shen Zian out for a long time. It was always a nuisance to keep a son who was not her biological son at home, no matter how good Shen Zian was at making money and working. But the custom here was that a child could not be kicked out if he was not married and had not done anything wrong. Otherwise, she would be ignored. And she was not his biological mother, which made it easier for people to gossip about her. Shen Zian was married, and married a woman like that. She wanted him to leave even more. But for the sake of Shen Ziju's reputation, she could not send her sick daughter-in-law away. But now the ready-made excuse was here!

"Dad, what do you think we should do about this?" The matter was serious and it concerned Shen Zian, so she decided to let Shen Youfu make the decision, but she would help out from the side.

Shen Youfu frowned and asked, "Where is that old Taoist priest?"

Sanlang said, "It's not far away, sir. I'll call him for you!" Then he ran outside. As soon as he reached the door, he met the old Taoist priest. It turned out that he was worried that Sanlang had mistaken someone, so he came here to take a look.

The old Taoist priest entered the Shen family. Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang invited him to sit down and asked the old Taoist priest if there was really a disaster star in the family. The old Taoist priest looked at the faces of several people in a pretentious manner, nodded heavily and said that the faces of several people were full of black air. Now the people in the Shen family were a little scared. After all, everyone was afraid of being entangled by bad luck.

"Dad, Mom, it looks like it's really the Fourth Sister-in-law." Shen Zhu said, "Why don't we let the old Taoist priest take a look? If it's not her, we won't have wronged her. If it is, we can be prepared."

The old Taoist priest was invited to walk to the backyard. Before he even reached the fence of the thatched house, he frowned and frowned, which made the Shen family believe that the lucky star was just ahead. Some villagers who came in to watch the excitement also whispered to each other and looked at the thatched house with fear. None of them dared to go forward.

Ten meters away from the house, everyone stopped.

Sun shouted loudly: "Little sister Zhao! Open the door! I have something to tell you!"

Su Zhi was mending Shen Zian's clothes in the room. He had torn his clothes while working. When she heard someone calling her, she raised her eyebrows. She thought that usually this person wanted to not see her and didn't even want to pay attention to her. Why did the sun rise from the west today? She instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen, so she calmed down and walked out.

As soon as the fence door opened, Su Zhi's face appeared in front of everyone, shocking them all. They believed even more that she was an unlucky person. Didn't they see that she was being punished by God?

"This woman's fate is not good."

The old Taoist was also frightened by Su Zhi's face, but he relaxed, thinking that it would be easier to deceive others. However, he only said this, so that even if something happened in the future, others could not blame him. He did not say that Su Zhi was a jinx, but just said that Su Zhi had a bad fate, and did not say anything else.

But everyone else was confused by his words, and Su Zhi was immediately considered a jinx! !
