Chapter 202 The Spiritual Spring Shows Its Power Again
Chapter 202: The Spiritual Spring Shows Its Power Again
Everyone's eyes were on Li Shi, Liu Siniang, and Li Laodi's family. After all, they were staring at each other, and they were the protagonists of this lively scene. They didn't want to miss any fun. As a result, Li Laodi was so dizzy after hearing what Li Shi said. Li Shi and Liu Siniang turned around and were about to leave. When the lively scene was about to end, someone suddenly howled, which immediately perked up everyone's spirits.
The person who was shouting said there was something on top of the grave. What was it?
Everyone's heart jumped violently, because they had just seen that there was nothing on the grave, not even a blade of grass! The voice of the person shouting was so sharp and terrified, like a chicken with its neck twisted, which naturally made these people shudder. Some people thought, could it be that Li Shi's mother really appeared in spirit?
The eyes of the people gathered in front fell on the grave, and then they all started shouting like the man who had just howled, some with voices of fear and some with excitement.
“Blooming! Blooming!”
"Is my vision blurry? Did you pinch me? Ouch! You really pinched me! But what I saw was real?!"
"This is really true! It turns out that there are ghosts in this world! Oh my God, the money I spent on burning during the Qingming Festival is too little. I have to make up for it quickly! Otherwise, I will be blamed!"
"Yes, yes, it seems that Li Shitou's mother is still thinking about her son. She is very happy to see her son getting married. She is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law!"
"Of course she is satisfied. Liu Si Niang is such a capable and virtuous woman. Only the Zhao family, who are short-sighted, don't like her. Li Shitou's mother is a kind-hearted person with the same personality as Liu Si Niang, so she is naturally interested in her!"
"Yes, yes. It seems that the couple is married. It would be bad if you offend this dead person."
The people in front were talking about all sorts of things, which made the people behind them anxious. They couldn't see inside and couldn't squeeze in. They could only listen to the people in front talking about flowers and ghosts, and their hearts felt like they were being scratched by a cat. Those who couldn't squeeze in started asking the people in front.
Someone in front of me said that flowers were blooming in front of the grave. In the blink of an eye, the flowers appeared from nothing, and there were quite a lot of them. The people who heard it later didn't quite believe it, but they couldn't stand so many people saying it, so they were even more anxious. They squeezed in and saw the cluster of flowers in front of the grave.
The grave was still the same as before, bare and wet with yellow soil, because it hadn't rained since the beginning of spring, so it looked very dry. However, on the earthen platform in front of the grave, there were clusters of beautiful flowers and tender green leaves. The delicate flowers, some red, some yellow, some white, and some purple, were so crowded together, and in front of the yellow soil, they looked so eye-catching.
"Su Zhi, is this a flower blooming?"
Liu Si Niang had been looking at the flowers, somewhat dazed. She had just seen with her own eyes that there were no such flowers there. How come the flowers were right in front of her when she stood up so quickly?
Su Zhi looked at the reactions of these people and thought that the effect seemed to have a certain effect. Listening to what the villagers said just now, it seemed that they would not say anything about the marriage between Shi Tou Ge and Liu Si Niang. Even if they did, they would say that they were a perfect match. That was good enough, and it was worth her coming up with such an idea.
In fact, Su Zhi came up with this idea after being inspired by Yueyue's childish talk. She thought that if Zhang Qingniang could come up with such a bad idea to find an excuse for her and Zhao Daliang's marriage and to restore their reputation, why couldn't Liu Si Niang and Li Shi? Zhang Qingniang's idea was a bad idea in Su Zhi's eyes, but it was also somewhat useful. However, Su Zhi wanted to find a more effective method than that one. She had a quick mind and thought that since the Zhao family used their ancestors as an excuse, she would also think of a way from this point.
Su Zhi knew that people today still cared about spirits or dead ghosts, so she thought of this method. Beforehand, she found an opportunity to plant flower seeds in front of Li Shi's mother's grave, because she knew that if people here brought wine, they would pour it on the earthen platform. She buried the seeds on the earthen platform on purpose, and the seeds were very small, and could not be seen without careful observation.
Su Zhi originally wanted to have Li Shi bring Liu Si Niang here to bury her, and then call a few villagers to serve as witnesses to prove that the flower had grown suddenly. Unexpectedly, Old Man Li came to cause trouble, and so many people gathered around, which was just the right time to perform this drama.
In fact, most of the wine in the small jar is Lingquan, with only a small part of it added.
Su Zhi tried it and was able to make flowers grow quickly from seeds buried in the ground. At this time, others would think that Li Shi's mother approved of her son's marriage and that she approved of Liu Si Niang as her daughter-in-law. Then, who would dare to say anything bad about them? Nowadays, few people would disrespect the dead. Even if there were, they would not dare to say anything more after seeing this situation. After all, it was a ghost that could appear!
The reactions from these people now are really great.
"Fourth Mother, look, Stonehead's mother has accepted you. Not only has she accepted you, but God has accepted you too. Otherwise, how could you have so many beautiful flowers blooming? And so many people can see them? This is a miracle! Who dares to say bad things about you and Stonehead again? They don't even think about it. If you were really that kind of people, would God be so on your side? It's just speaking up for you."
Su Zhi spoke loudly so that the people standing around could hear clearly and warn them not to talk nonsense again. She not only wanted to bring up ghosts, but also God, who was always more frightening than ghosts.
Sure enough, the villagers who were watching the excitement thought that what Su Zhi said made sense. They thought, how could a dead ghost be able to make so many flowers? Even if it could, it was only with the approval of God! It seemed that Liu Si Niang and Li Shi were really wronged. They said that Li Shi was a steady and righteous person, and Liu Si Niang was gentle and virtuous. How could they be such shameless people? They were going to get married now, and it was all because of those rumors!
Su Zhi smiled secretly in her heart, she thought it worked. Now these people believed what they had said before, that Shitou Ge and Liu Si Niang had to get married so soon.
Father Li looked at the flowers in front of the grave, his lips trembling. He remembered that he had not been very kind to Li Shi's mother when he was young, and even sold Li Shi. Thinking that her soul might be staring at him now, his eyes rolled up, and this time he was really dizzy. Li Shi's stepmother yelled loudly, asking her son to carry the old man on his back and run away. They couldn't stay in this damn place anymore.
Li Shi was also a little confused, he didn't expect this to happen, but he soon accepted it, after all, this was his mother's grave, looking at those beautiful flowers, he knelt on the ground and began to kowtow. Liu Si Niang also knelt down and kowtowed with him, and after they finished kowtowing, they stood up.
This incident quickly spread throughout Hebian Village and eventually to other villages. However, not many people were brave enough to go to the grave to look at the flowers. No matter how beautiful the flowers were, after all, it was a spirit-filled grave. Except for the relatives of the deceased, no one was not afraid of ghosts!
The people in Hebian Village suddenly changed their tone towards the marriage of Li Shi and Liu Si Niang, and all congratulated them. On the contrary, those who spread rumors about the two were despised, especially the Zhao family. At this time, all the villagers understood that Zhao Daliang had abandoned his first wife, and in order to prevent people from saying that he married another woman, he would naturally keep pouring dirty water on his first wife. They believed these words at the time, which was really crazy! Thinking of this, they hated the Zhao family, felt guilty towards Liu Si Niang and Li Shi, and rushed to help with their marriage.
The Zhao family had just had a change in the villagers' attitude towards them because of Zhang Qingniang's drama in the cemetery and the constant slander against Liu Siniang and Li Shi, but now the situation has turned back and they have become the object of scorn again.
Because Li Shi believed that the flowers blooming in front of his mother's grave meant that she was satisfied with his marriage, he was even more anxious to marry Liu Si Niang.
Liu Si Niang also agreed. She was a little excited because of the flower that suddenly grew and bloomed. Her parents died early, and people always said that they had a hard life. Although Li Shi also said that he had a hard life, she was still a little worried. Now that she saw that her dead mother-in-law had appeared, she felt that her future life must be promising, which made her want to start that kind of life as soon as possible. Besides, she didn't want to live in Su Zhi's house all the time and cause her trouble.
Su Zhi also thought that it was time to get married sooner rather than later. Shen Zian, on the other hand, thought that Li Shi was going to renovate his house, and with Liu Si Niang's help, it wouldn't be too hard.
After discussing this, they decided to get the marriage done quickly.
Because Li Shi and Liu Si Niang had no relatives, and the few relatives they had were all strangers, they decided on the wedding date themselves, which was set on the ninth day of the third lunar month, which was about ten days away. However, since there were so many people helping out this time, it was easy to prepare.
On the sixth day of March, Zhang Qingniang was carried into the Zhao family's house in a big red sedan chair. Due to the relationship between the villagers, many people went, but it was obviously not that lively. The people who talked were all people close to the Zhao family. Most people just ate there and then left early.
On the ninth day of the third lunar month, Liu Si Niang was carried into Li Shi's house in a big red sedan chair. The people who came filled Li Shi's yard with laughter and congratulations. The Zhao family members who were not far away could hear it clearly.
