Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, Grandma Xu was already sitting in the main room, tapping the ground with her crutch and muttering to herself.
"You're gone as soon as I woke up in the morning, and now it's dark and you haven't come back yet. My son hired you and paid you. How could you do this? This is so irresponsible..."
Knowing that Grandma Xu was not really angry and that the old lady had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Shu Jiaying immediately explained with a smile.
"Grandma, I'm so sorry. I wanted to go back to the village earlier, but someone fell into the water while we were on the boat, and they were busy trying to save him, so they delayed their return. You must be hungry after waiting for so long. I'll make you some food now."
"etc……"
When she heard about such a serious matter as someone falling into the water, Grandma Xu immediately became interested. She looked at Shu Jiaying with a gossipy look on her face.
"Who fell into the water, and what happened?"
Shu Jiaying found it a little funny, but then she thought about it, it was actually quite boring for an old man to always stay in the house.
She pulled a stool and sat in front of Grandma Xu, and like a storyteller, she recounted the whole story of Feng Qiaoer falling into the water from beginning to end.
However, Shu Jiaying concealed the fact that she lied that Feng Qiaoer would turn into a ghost if she died wearing red shoes.
Although Grandma Xu was stunned, she still grasped the key point.
"Ugly girl, according to you, it was Bagui from our village who rescued the jinx from Fengyun Town, and in the end, he brought that jinx back to our Guangming Village?
Oh my god... If that jinx really brings bad luck to anyone who comes into contact with her, then wouldn't the people in our Guangming Village be filled with bad luck because of her?
No, no, wait until your Uncle Xu comes back and I'll have him go to Bagui's house to find out what's going on. If that jinx is really that scary, I'll be the first to oppose her living in Guangming Village."
Shu Jiaying was really impressed by the thinking of the people here, and she retorted speechlessly.
"Whether luck is good or bad, it's something that everyone has. It has absolutely nothing to do with others. Just like me, everyone in the village thinks I'm ugly, but who have I affected? Who have I harmed?"
"How can this be compared? You are from Guangming Village. You were born and raised here. No matter how bad you are, your roots are here. No one can drive you away.
But that jinx is different. She's from Fengyun Town. Why wouldn't she stay in Fengyun Town and bring bad luck to our village? "
Shu Jiaying really wanted to say that if Feng Qiaoer could stay in Fengyun Town, in her own home, she would not be sold to an old man as a concubine.
The old man said that he was killed by Feng Qiaoer. Maybe the truth was that the old man was about to step into the coffin, and Feng Qiaoer's entry just happened to take the blame.
However, if you tell this to Grandma Xu, she will definitely not believe it. Shu Jiaying is too lazy to argue, but it is too immoral to kill such a poor homeless person.
Faced with such a superstitious person, Shu Jiaying had no choice but to resort to superstitious methods. She pulled Grandma Xu aside and said nervously, "Grandma, you'd better not get involved in this matter. You see, Boss Zhu was originally reluctant to let Feng Qiaoer, who fell into the water, get on his boat, but didn't he compromise in the end?
There must be a reason for this. I heard them say that if a person wearing red cloth shoes has drowned, it is equivalent to going to the gates of hell. It's very weird. Now you let Uncle Xu go to Bagui's house to tell him about this. Aren't you asking Uncle Xu to bring the trouble home?
This is absolutely unacceptable!"
