When petty thefts or fights usually happen in the village, most of the time they ask the clan or the village's prestigious elders to mediate and make peace. If it goes too far, at most they will be expelled from the original village. In the village, reporting to the official and going to the yamen are distant and fearful existences for them.
The fact that Aunt Feng caused trouble in Chu's shop, but was beaten up and ran away again, was spread to everyone by those aunts and ladies who were originally called by her to watch the young couple's fun. In these words, Word of mouth spread that something was wrong with some characters.
If Shen Luzhu's rhetorical questions made everyone in Kaoshan Village murmur, then Chu Yi's final warning made people even more question the authenticity of the entire incident. After all, few people did anything wrong. He even took the initiative to report the matter to the official.
Coupled with the push from Fat Aunt, Qian and others, the trend in the village suddenly reversed again. Many people began to discuss the authenticity of those ghost stories and dreams. Some people even directly asked Fucked the Liu family.
"Liu family, please tell everyone in detail, which of your ancestors was not the female ghost your family saw that day? What did she tell you?"
The male owner of the Liu family was stopped on his way home after having a drink at a relative's house. Although he had vaguely heard some rumors questioning his family in the past few days, his brain had long been numbed by alcohol and he was no longer able to remember. It’s not easy to insist that one’s home is haunted: “What are you talking nonsense about? Your ancestor is a fucking female ghost!”
"Didn't your family say it was haunted after you burned the Chu family's paper money?"
"Yes, it is haunted, but it's not my ancestor, no!" The Liu family member shook his head as he spoke, but before he shook his head twice, he staggered suddenly. Fortunately, someone else reached out to help him. , so it didn’t really fall to the ground.
"What did the female ghost say to your family?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuah, cry!"
The man checked again: "You're just crying? You're not saying anything? Then how do you say it's because you used the Chu family's paper money that it became haunted!"
The Liu family obviously couldn't react. They were stunned for a long time and only said: "Burning paper is haunted, it's haunted!"
Seeing that the man of the Liu family couldn't get anything useful out of this, the man asked the old lady of the Liu family the same thing. As a result, the old lady said at first that she was not her ancestor and didn't say anything. This shows that the people in the village are tight. As he asked, he thought that someone seemed to suspect them of being a fraud recently, so he changed his mind and said, "Ah, yes, I told you, look at my brain. I was so afraid that I forgot about it. The person who told me said that those two were involved in the crime." The guy in jail said he wouldn't let the couple use their paper money!"
The man continued to inquire further: "Did you just say it? Yesterday, your son also said he only cried. Why is he talking about it again?"
The old lady of the Liu family was choked so much that she said nonchalantly: "I must have forgotten. I didn't say it because I was scared to forget!"
"Then the rest of your family has forgotten all? I have never said before that the female ghost is still talking. Besides, if it weren't for your ancestors, why would you go to the grave and burn paper money? What does it have to do with her! She came to see her Your family, shouldn’t it be your family doing other things?”
Old Mrs. Liu was shocked to realize that she had made many mistakes. She gave the man a blank look and turned around to go back to her yard. As she walked, she shouted: "What does this have to do with you stupid young man? I'm just asking, are you bothered?" It’s annoying, I really have nothing to do!”
The inconsistent statements and attitudes of the Liu family are like hand-delivered evidence to those who have begun to question the authenticity of this matter. The suspicion in the village about this recent series of events has gradually become more and more intense. More and more are coming.
After two days of keeping their ears open, the Liu family had to admit that this matter seemed to have been somewhat screwed up by them. They were trying to take chances and thought that the Chinese New Year was just around the corner. After surviving this wave, who would still remember this after the Chinese New Year? On the one hand, I am worried that if the Chu family uses this matter as an excuse and fails to fulfill their promise, then their work will be in vain!
It turns out that the Liu family is really the family that the Wang family secretly found to help spread rumors and act in dramas. Unlike those who were given coins to help make up a few lies, the Liu family's drama was bigger and more strenuous to perform. Of course, you can't and only those copper coins can make people move.
To say this, the Wang family got inspiration from their youngest son Chu Zhi. The Liu family’s youngest son is the same age as Chu Zhi, and they both study in the village school. They always go together. Since Chu Ren returned home in September, Chu Zhi has brought his classmate to the house several times to ask Chu Ren for advice. The Wang family took this as an opportunity to find the Liu family and let him They helped put on a big play together. The advantage was that as long as Chu Ren was at home from now on, the Liu family's youngest son could come to the house from time to time and let Chu Ren give advice.
Naturally, the Liu family's parents and grandma, like all the elders, hope that their younger generation will be successful in the future. Although some of the rumors about Uncle Chu's family in the village are very unpleasant, nothing can stop them. There was a son who was the only scholar in the village. The grandma of the Liu family didn't even think about it, so she directly agreed. She had a wonderful idea. Her grandson only needed to learn Chu Ren's ability to become a scholar. As for the In other aspects, it will be fine if you don’t learn from the Chu family!
Although the Liu family's daughter-in-law had some concerns about this matter, her mother-in-law had already agreed, and her man was a foolish and filial man. In the past two days, whenever she raised any different opinions, it seemed as if she did not want her youngest son to do so. It's the same as being successful and gaining fame, but in the end she had to swallow all the words that came to her lips. No one ever thought that she gave birth to him in ten months of pregnancy. She, the mother-in-law, wanted him more than anyone else. Promote!
The two families reached an agreement, and the next thing became much simpler. Late that night, the Liu family's wife put on a simple robe specially sewn with white cloth, let her hair down, and covered her appearance, waiting for Liu's mother and son. The screams woke up the neighbors, and he ran all the way from his house to the backyard with a cry. The back door, which was always locked on weekdays, had long been opened, and the lock was only locked on one side of the door. The other side of the nose was only lightly closed. Liu's daughter-in-law gently hung up the back door, then quickly took off her robe, held it in her arms, walked around to the front door from the other side, and hid back in her house. .
Grandma Liu and her son pretended to be frightened and waited in the courtyard for the neighbors who came over. A group of people rushed towards the backyard. The Liu family man was the first to open the "locked" backyard door. , if someone asked about the Liu family’s daughter-in-law, Grandma Liu would lie and claim that she was too frightened to leave the house. In this way, the Liu family fabricated a haunted incident in a grand manner under the eyes of the neighbors!
After thinking about it, the Liu family finally went to Uncle Chu's house to discuss countermeasures. It was considered as if they had informed them in advance, and they were sorry. After all, they had gone through a lot of troubles, and they still had some problems. If it works, you can't work in vain.
After listening to the words of the Liu family, Mrs. Wang finally knew what the reason was for the recent change in the village's trend: "Why can't you do this well..."
Before Ms. Wang was halfway through her words, she was stopped by Ms. Li on the side: "This matter has indeed caused some trouble for our family, but since Aunt Liu can come and tell us about it in advance, she can make up for it. Okay, auntie, you and your family must be stricter from now on. If you are bitten to death, you will burn paper money and cause trouble. Didn’t your neighbors on both sides also see it? You have lived with your neighbors for so many years. If you are willing to give some benefits, As long as they stand up and help a few words, they will be happy to do so!"
The grandma of the Liu family really didn't expect that she didn't get any benefits from helping her Chu family, and she had to do it herself first?
"Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, this..."
Mrs. Li smiled and continued: "Is it possible that Auntie is afraid that the neighbors will not want to help? No, you see, our families don't live close to each other. Didn't our family also agree to help your grandson with his studies? It’s happened!"
When the Liu family's grandma heard what Li said, she felt that the Chu family had no intention of going back on her word. She gritted her teeth and wanted to give some benefits to the neighbors and let them help talk. For the sake of her grandson's future, she admitted: "Sure." , that’s okay, I’ll go back first.”
"There's one more thing." Mrs. Li stopped the Liu family's grandma who was about to go back: "Auntie, please turn around and take the white robe you wore that night when no one is around and put it at your place. , may not be safe.”
Although the grandma of the Liu family was very reluctant to part with her piece of intact white cloth, when she was sewing it, she specifically called her son
My daughter-in-law made the sewing looser. When this matter is over, it will still be a good piece of cloth after it is removed. But for now, she can only nod and agree: "Okay, let's look at this later. Don’t forget to return him to your family!”
Seeing the person walking out of her yard, Ms. Wang said, "What do you think? He hasn't done anything at home yet, and he asked me to make up for it! Why did they succeed! You want me, Aren, to teach her grandson about his dreams!" With her brains, she can’t handle even this little thing, and she still expects her child to be like our Ren and get admitted as a scholar? Just dream!"
Li Shi resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Wang Shi, and explained in a not-so-gentle tone: "Mom, don't be confused! The most important thing to control now are those families who are helping to spread rumors and the Liu family. If A Niang has angered them all, what will happen if they go out and say that those things were all instigated by us? By then, even if we don’t earn any money, I’m afraid our face will be completely trampled by those two people. It’s underfoot!”
Although Wang was unwilling, she had to admit that what Li said was very reasonable, so she had to change the subject with a face and said: "Then why do you and that woman want his white robe?"
Not wanting to argue with Ms. Wang, Ms. Li cleared her throat and said, "When I heard about this two days ago, I was thinking about what to do. Fortunately, my mother-in-law gave me a heads up!"
Mrs. Wang was the most reluctant to take Mrs. Li and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yuan, to live in her home for her retirement. In fact, Mrs. Li deliberately mentioned her mother-in-law to Mrs. Wang, so that she would know that her mother-in-law did not live in vain. , I still have to rely on her to make the decision at this critical moment!
When Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Li had finished speaking, she stopped. Although she knew in her heart that she was deliberately teasing her, she had no choice but to reluctantly urge: "What did you wake up? talk!"
Li said proudly: "Whoever thinks it is fake and doesn't believe it, ask him to see if he actually meets a ghost, and he will believe it if he doesn't!"
"We really encountered a ghost? Ms. Li, are you saying we borrow the robe from the Liu family and go scare people ourselves?"
"Otherwise, this is the only way now. If we don't stop those people's mouths, all the money we spent before will be in vain!"
After the grandma of the Liu family came out of Uncle Chu's house, she went straight back to her home. Little did she know that this whole scene was watched by Chu Ping, who had been following her!
