The Yu family's courtyard is located at the end of Lihua Village, separated from the homes of other villagers in Lihua Village.
The nearest villager to Yu's family was several hundred meters away.
If Meng Changjin wants to walk back to Yu's house from the village entrance, he has to cross the entire Lihua Village.
The sun is still quite strong now, and every household has not gone to the fields. Some are doing needlework at home, while others are outside chatting and enjoying the cool under the big trees.
Seeing Meng Changjin walking by, the people who were chatting stopped talking for a moment and couldn't stop looking at her.
He looked at her with astonishment and disbelief, not understanding why the girl from the Yu family, who usually wore clothes covered with pudding, was wearing new clothes today.
Besides these, there were other things in their hands. They didn't know what was in the package, but the piece of cloth exposed outside should cost a lot of money judging by the material.
They all knew how harsh the Yu family was to this girl. How could they spend so much money on her? It must be fake, right? Didn't the Yu family only want to spend money on Yu Jiaojiao?
Among the chatting crowd, some wanted to stop Meng Changjin and ask him something, but Meng Changjin walked past quickly without even looking at them, so it was too late to stop him.
After Meng Changjin walked past the place where the villagers gathered to chat, she could hear from a distance that she had become the next topic of conversation among the villagers.
Of course, it’s not that their chatter was too loud, but Meng Changjin’s hearing was too good now.
At the same time, the Yu family's yard was covered with yellow talisman papers everywhere. A woman wearing a wide hooded robe sewn together in four colors of red, black, gray and green, with her hair loose and deep wrinkles on her face, stood in the middle of the Yu family's yard.
This person is the most famous fortune teller in the surrounding villages.
In front of her was a table with lit candles, an incense burner with incense sticks, and a wooden basin half filled with red liquid.
The gate was pushed open at this time, and two boys around four or five years old who looked almost identical ran in and closed the door behind them.
"Grandma, grandma, that devil is back and has passed the big pear tree." These two almost identical boys, aged four or five, were the twins from Yu Laosan's family. They were arranged to keep watch outside and report immediately when they saw Yu Hanzhu.
Because Meng Changjin had changed his clothes, they didn't recognize him at first. Only when they got closer did they recognize him. They then hurried into the yard and told Old Lady Yu and the others what had happened.
"Fairy lady, the devil will be back soon. I'm going to trouble you from now on." Old Mrs. Yu hurried over and spoke in a low voice.
The person called Fairy Queen nodded coldly without saying a word.
However, after receiving a nod, Mrs. Yu retreated to the edge with peace of mind.
Lihua Village is named after a pear tree that is hundreds of years old. The tree is located right in the middle of the village. It usually takes only the time of an incense stick to walk from the pear tree to Yu's house at the end of the village.
So, except for Yu Laoer who was lying in bed unable to move, all the other people in the Yu family who were at home were waiting outside to see the evil ghost in Yu Hanzhu's body being expelled by the fairy.
But they waited and waited, calculating the time in their minds, watching the incense in the incense burner becoming shorter and shorter, while Meng Changjin, who was supposed to push open the gate and come in and be splashed with black dog blood, had not yet opened the gate.
The fortune-teller standing behind the table remained calm, as if nothing could cause her to have any obvious emotional ups and downs.
The Yu family was a little restless.
Why hasn’t Yu Hanzhu come yet?
Coming from the big pear tree, even if we are at a snail's pace, we should be there soon, right? !
Yu Jiaojiao stood next to Old Mrs. Yu with a slightly frown on her face.
She glanced at her two cousins and then looked away.
There is no way the two cousins were lying; they had no reason to do so.
Then the problem must be with Yu Hanzhu. Was he discovered? So he just didn't come back? Thinking of this possibility, Yu Jiaojiao wanted to bite her teeth! After many twists and turns last night, no one slept well. It was already noon when we woke up.
Without Yu Hanzhu to prepare breakfast, the Yu family had to fend for themselves as they woke up hungry.
Yu Laoer broke his leg, and Yu Li had to take care of him, so the task of cooking fell on Yu Zhao from the first wife and Yu Liu from the third wife.
The two were naturally reluctant, but there was nothing they could do.
Yu Jiaojiao had a portion of scrambled eggs every day, so Yu Zhao and Yu Liu prepared to go to the chicken coop to pick up eggs. However, not only did they not find a single egg after searching the entire coop, they were also chased and pecked by several roosters in the coop.
After a burst of flying chicken feathers, Yu Zhao and Yu Liu, who had escaped from the chicken coop in a panic, felt so aggrieved that they wanted to cry out loud.
In the end, I had no choice but to cook something random, but the whole family complained that it was not tasty.
Yu Jiaojiao also felt disgusted. In the past, when Yu Hanzhu cooked, she always had soft scrambled eggs and fragrant white rice to eat. But when her mother and her third aunt cooked, the scrambled eggs were gone and the white rice had a burnt smell.
Yu Jiaojiao almost couldn't eat because of disgust.
But as a gentle and considerate person, she not only cannot despise him, but also has to comfort him out loud.
She gently comforted her mother and Third Aunt, and intentionally or unintentionally attributed the cause to Yu Hanzhu.
The result was that not only did Yu Zhao and Yu Liu, who had to do what they had to do, hate Yu Hanzhu because he had gone off so early in the morning, but even the other members of the Yu family, who had to eat the bad-tasting food, resented Yu Hanzhu in their hearts.
He blamed her for not being able to just be the Yu Hanzhu she was before, and finally came to the conclusion that she must have been possessed by an evil spirit.
After Yu Jiaojiao's gentle guidance, Old Lady Yu decided to ask a fortune teller to check on Yu Hanzhu.
Having achieved her goal, Yu Jiaojiao lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips. After dinner, she wanted to go back to her room to change clothes, but found that the door of her room was locked.
But it was just a lock, which did not pose any problem for Yu Jiaojiao. She just expressed her desire to go into her room to change clothes in front of her father and uncle, and said pitifully that the door was locked and she could only wait for Han Zhu to come back to open the door. Her father and uncle immediately took axes and went to help her split the lock.
Yu Jiaojiao looked at the lock that fell to the ground and felt proud.
Yu Hanzhu thought that locking the door would stop her? That was too good to be true.
This thought lasted until Yu Jiaojiao walked into the room, and then it completely fell apart.
