Feng Qiao'er didn't dare to answer directly, but the way she kept pulling at the corner of her clothes said it all.
Village Chief Xu was furious. He pointed at Bagui and said, "The girl doesn't want to do it at all. How can you force her to do it?"
"Captain Xu, who said Dai Zi was unwilling?"
Twisting Feng Qiao'er's arm, Bagui threatened, "Tell Xu Liren whether you are willing to stay in my house and be my wife."
"I……"
Her face was twisted with pain, but Feng Qiao'er didn't dare cry in front of Bagui. She could only nod repeatedly and said, "I do, I do!"
"You see, they are willing, so please don't worry about my family's affairs."
"you……"
Bagui stopped looking at Village Chief Xu and growled at Feng Qiaoer, "Why are you still standing there? Go back and sweep up the bowl you broke."
“…”
Feng Qiao'er looked at Village Chief Xu with red eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Under Bagui's urging again, she walked back into the house silently.
Bagui began to order Xu, the village chief, to leave.
"Head of the village, I'm going to take a nap with my wife later. Are you interested in watching us?"
"You Bagui, look at what you are saying, huh..."
Village Chief Xu was so angry that he stamped his feet and finally went home. But before he entered the house, he saw Grandma Xu waiting outside with a handful of pomelo leaves.
Seeing Grandma Xu's expression, Village Chief Xu was both angry and amused.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? What am I doing? Of course, I'm helping you get rid of all the bad smells on your body. After I've finished cleaning your whole body, you can wash your face and hands with grapefruit water. Only after you step over the fire basin can you enter the house."
"Why would you bother with that? Can't you just jump over the fire basin?"
"That won't work. The place you're going to is a place where bad luck ghosts are looking for replacements. If you don't completely eliminate the bad energy in your body, what will you do if you bring the bad energy home with you?"
"No, mother. The coroner has checked it out. Erlang slipped and fell into the river while setting out the trap at night and drowned. He's not some unlucky ghost possessed by him."
"Alright, I don't want to hear you go on about this. Xiaohua is very pitiful, but her family is unlucky right now. Don't hang around Xiaohua's house for the time being. Jiaying is a tough girl, so it's okay to have her help there."
“…”
Village Chief Xu really wanted to refute Grandma Xu and say that she was superstitious, but then he thought, aren’t all old people the same?
Shaking his head helplessly, he compromised and said, "Alright, Mom, you can dance however you like. When I get home from jumping over the fire pot, I'll get you something to eat."
"I'm still eating. You're making me so angry."
Amidst the curses, Lichang Xu returned home.
…
After putting all the clothes that Erlang wore when he was alive into the bag, Shu Jiaying dug out a small red quilt from the bottom of the box.
Although the color of the bag has almost faded, it has been well preserved by Erlang.
It seems that this quilt is very important to Erlang.
Originally, she wanted to put the blanket into the bag as well, but after thinking about it, Shu Jiaying took it out separately.
At this time, Xiaohua came in from her room. Seeing the blanket on the bed, her face didn't show much emotion. She walked to Shu Jiaying's side and asked, "Sister Jiaying, are you only staying with me for a few days in my house? Will you leave after a few days?"
Forehead? !
Shu Jiaying hadn't thought about this question. She answered as a matter of course, "I think so. I'll go back when my house in the back mountain is rebuilt."
