After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the cursing and swearing stopped.
Just in case, Jiang Lei threw a stone in.
After a while, there was no movement. He went to check and saw through the broken window that his second uncle's family of three had fainted on the kang (a heated brick bed).
He was relieved and quickly went to open the front door to let his aunt and the others into the house.
"Squeak~"
The door opened, the password was—
"Woof woof woof~"
The response was—
"Gagaga~"
Jiang Yue was speechless, suppressing a laugh, and patted her son's shoulder, signaling him to stop yelling, that it was done, and to hurry inside and get to work!
Fortunately, the Jiang family's old house is a bit remote, and there are no neighbors around. They either no longer live there or their children have taken them away.
Otherwise, with so many of them, it would be difficult to hide them.
After entering, Jiang Lei closed the door and led his aunt to the main room.
To be honest, as soon as Jiang Yue came in, she smelled a musty odor, and upon closer inspection, she also smelled urine...
This family has no sense of propriety.
It's obvious they don't like to tidy up or keep things clean!
The porridge seemed to be all gone, and Jiang Yue wasn't worried about the sleeping potion being discovered; she was just betting that this family was brainless!
But aren't they a family of four? How come one is missing?
“My eldest sister isn’t here. I’ve been looking for her for ages, but I can’t find her. However, I heard my second aunt say that she disappeared this afternoon and no one knows where she went.”
Jiang Lei frowned as he explained that he had also searched around but couldn't find his younger sister.
"Never mind her for now, let's get down to business!"
Qingsong had no feelings for this cousin or younger cousin he had never met, so he didn't care much about her.
The most urgent task is to take revenge on this heartless "second uncle"!
Jiang Yue nodded, tacitly agreeing to this.
The effects of the sleeping potion are limited, lasting at most an hour, so they didn't have much time left.
The whole family of three shared a picture of the itching powder!
The baldness cream was a gift from Qingsong to the most mischievous woman.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Dian applied the excess to the center of his second uncle's head.
Qingyun put the diarrhea medicine in the water tank, so there'll be some, more or less, hmm~
The chili water is not needed for now, so I'll save it. If this family dares to cause trouble again, Jiang Lei will splash it into their eyes and burn them to death!
Jiang Yue gestured with her lips and reminded him:
"Pick up the stones on the ground, we'll go through the main gate. Lei, check if there are any footprints on the ground, wipe them away if there are. After you close the gate, climb over the wall and meet up with us."
"Okay, Auntie."
Jiang Lei smiled brightly. It was his first time doing something naughty, and he was both nervous and excited!
The key is that there are elders to support them!
This tastes amazing!
Not just him, everyone else thinks the same way!
Jiang Yue knew she had acted impulsively this time, but since the deed was done, she decided to clean up the mess and not leave any loopholes!
After a flurry of activity, everyone quietly left.
To avoid attracting attention, Jiang Lei deliberately led his aunt and the others to a secluded place, saying without batting an eye:
"Auntie, look at that! Isn't our duck farm behind the hill huge?"
"Hmm, it's pretty big!"
"My family will still raise them after the New Year. Once they're fattened up, we'll catch a few and give them to my aunt to eat."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll be waiting."
"Cousin, my family raises geese. Next time, I'll catch a couple too."
"Okay, sure, braised goose in an iron pot, smells delicious~"
Some villagers who had gone out to digest their food also glanced at Jiang Lei and his group a few more times after hearing these words.
Judging by the direction they're heading, they're coming back from the mountains...
With that impression in mind, the others smiled kindly and continued strolling along the country lanes.
Seeing that it was about time, Jiang Yue called her sons and nephews to come home with her.
It's terribly cold outside, but it's much warmer inside.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the village began to buzz with excitement.
The barking of dogs and the screams of people rose and fell in a continuous cacophony.
Everything's in chaos!
There's a ghost! I've seen a ghost!
Jiang Xu's family is being haunted by ghosts!
Alopecia areata!
Wang's hair suddenly all fell out!
Jiang Xu has also gone bald!
There's even a ghost scratching an itch!
For no apparent reason, a family of three started howling and scratching themselves, their bodies and faces covered in scratches!
When the barefoot doctor from Jiangjiawan saw it, he immediately shouted that there was a ghost and ran away in fright!
Villagers gradually dressed and went to investigate, carrying lanterns.
Upon seeing the horrific scene, they all ran faster than rabbits!
Someone who was relatively close to Jiang Nian's family knocked on their door that night, told them what they had seen and heard, and then told them to close their doors and windows and be careful.
Jiang Nian thanked the other party for their kindness, closed the gate, and specially locked it with two bolts.
After returning home, he told his wife about it. Surprisingly, Liu wasn't afraid at all; instead, she smiled mysteriously...
Ghosts aren't scary; what's scary is the human heart!
Inside the house, Jiang Yue was fast asleep, holding her daughter in her arms...
Overnight, the entire Jiangjiawan area was filled with panic.
Many daughters who were returning to their parents' home didn't even dare to eat breakfast at home and hurriedly packed their bags to leave!
Jiang Yue listened to her older brother muttering that there were no ghosts in the world, only ghosts in people's hearts, but she just smiled and remained silent.
Only those with upright minds and no evil intentions are unafraid of ghosts and spirits...
After breakfast, Jiang Nian and his wife caught four live ducks, two roasted ducks, a basket of walnuts, two jars of salted duck eggs, dried mushrooms, and other items, and loaded them onto the oxcart as a return gift.
Although the children don't get together often, they are naturally close because their elders have a good relationship.
Except for the two younger sisters who weren't involved in last night's "bad deeds," the four boys secretly rejoiced at the rumors circulating in the village...
After seeing the girl and her family off, Jiang Nian and his wife headed back.
On the road, I saw my good-for-nothing second brother, his head wrapped in a blanket, walking furtively with his equally furtive wife and son...
"A ghost!"
"Help!"
"Puff puff puff~"
"It stinks!"
"Sir, did their whole family fall into the latrine?"
"Oh dear, look! Jiang Feng has no hair!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"He's probably done too many bad things!"
"That makes sense."
"Get out, all of you get the hell out!"
"She has a really bad temper, let's stay away from her, she's such bad luck~"
......
On his way home, Jiang Nian couldn't help but whisper to his wife:
"Wife, do you think it's our parents showing themselves from heaven?"
"You still don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Our parents didn't appear, but my sister and the children did a good deed!"
"What?"
"Hoo~"
"No wonder they didn't leave any evidence against them."
"Don't worry, this girl is really capable."
"That's right, don't you even know whose girl she is?"
"Hey, you're getting all worked up just because I said you're fat!"
"Oh, no, I need to go back and discipline my son first."
"Hmm, although this was done discreetly, your two sons are really bold."
Although Liu said that, she felt extremely relieved after seeing the miserable state of the second wife.
"But where is Xue'er?"
"Yes, where's Xue'er?"
Jiang Nian and his wife were deeply worried; their eldest niece wasn't having a good time at home...
