But this time, she couldn't help but wonder—if it were Ruan Jiaojiao, the "little whore" she spoke of, what would she do in this situation?
That super-strong girl would probably beat Fu Jun so badly he'd eat his leftovers right back up.
As she thought about it, Shen Junmei actually laughed.
Then, her smile froze on her face—Heavens! She actually thinks Ruan Jiaojiao is cute? Has she gone mad?
Shen Junmei shook her head.
After breakfast, we discovered that the golden egg was sneaking out.
"Where are you going on such a snowy day? It's still Lunar New Year's Eve, and many people are visiting graves. Don't go too far!"
Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and tonight is Lunar New Year's Eve.
The custom in Shanjiao Village is to go to the cemetery on New Year's Eve to burn paper money for deceased relatives, praying for their well-being in the afterlife and for their protection of their families.
The villagers are superstitious and believe that children like Jindan, who are not yet fully grown, have pure souls, so they can see all kinds of "dirty things" and are easily possessed.
Last year, there was a little girl who ran to the cemetery on New Year's Eve to steal offerings from the dead. After she came back, she sang opera all day long, and she did a pretty good job of it. However, no one in her family had ever taught her to sing opera.
The villagers all say that the little girl is possessed by a ghost.
This wasn't the scariest part. The scariest part was that her grandmother actually believed the rumor and, fearing that the girl's ghost would harm other people in the village, took the girl to the river to wash clothes. After that, only the grandmother returned.
When her family asked her where her granddaughter was, the grandmother replied that the river had washed her away.
The daughter-in-law fell seriously ill as a result, but the grandmother did not think it was her fault. She still believed that the ghost on the girl had harmed her mother and was glad that she had "dealt with" the girl early.
Ghosts are scary, but what's scarier than ghosts is the human heart, and the mouths of the villagers.
Jin Dan said, "Don't worry about me, I'm just going to visit Old Liu at the east end of the village. I'll be back before dark!"
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Shen Junmei knew she couldn't control her son, but... Old Liu from the east end of the village?
Shen Junmei was a little confused because she knew that Old Liu was a human trafficker and a sadist.
Old Liu is in his forties. He had six wives before, each more beautiful and more educated than the last, but he had abducted all of them.
Those who tried to escape ran away, while those who couldn't were beaten with broken legs and died soon after.
He was ruthless. He couldn't afford to raise the children his wife had given him, so he secretly swapped them with children from the city so they could live a better life.
Then they would steal the children from the city and use them as slaves.
The little child couldn't withstand his torment and died soon after.
Many people reported Lao Liu, but there was no substantial evidence. In addition, Shanjiao Village was too remote, and the child abduction happened many years ago, so the matter could only be dropped.
However, Jin Dan and Lao Liu have a pretty good relationship; they often play together.
However, when the golden egg went out this time, it glanced back at Fu Ting's house several times.
A terrifying thought lingered in Shen Junmei's mind: could it be that her son was planning to—
But her subconscious told her that she shouldn't get involved in this.
Wasn't she already jealous of Fu Ting's family? If their child were to be lost, she should be even happier!
Without her two beloved sons, Ruan Jiaojiao will never be as happy as she is now. There will be a rift between her and Fu Ting. Perhaps if she loses her children, Fu Ting will beat his wife like Fu Jun did.
