I saw Lao Wang with a stiff face, staring straight ahead, and a gurgling sound coming from his throat.
"Ghost, ghost...it's really a ghost!"
Liang Yuanque followed his frightened gaze and saw a figure with a hunched back standing in the middle of the road.
The figure was dirty, with disheveled hair, and the ravines on his face were like tree bark.
But what is certain is that this is definitely not a ghost, but a haggard old lady.
Lao Wang probably got dazzled by his age, and when he couldn't see clearly, he thought the old lady was a ghost.
Maybe it’s because I’ve encountered too many evil things recently, and I’m often frightened.
"This is definitely not a ghost, don't worry." Liang Yuanque leaned out and patted Lao Wang on the shoulder to comfort him.
Huang Jingye also leaned out and saw the old lady stunned for a moment, then exclaimed,
"Oh, sister-in-law!"
Huang Jingye shouted, jumped out of the car, rushed over to support the old lady, and wanted to carefully identify her face.
The old lady was frightened by his actions. She trembled and wanted to run away, but Huang Jingye held her back.
Lao Wang braked very hard and almost hit the old lady. Liang Yuanque jumped to his side.
"Old Wang, what's wrong with you? There's such a big figure in the middle of the road. Even if you can't see clearly, can you still not see it at all?"
Lao Wang was frightened and had a bit of a temper. He said hastily and with a white face,
"Why, I'm old, but I'm not blind yet. I happened to be driving a car, and this damn old lady jumped out of nowhere!"
She ran out suddenly. What did this old lady want to do, stop the car?
After hearing what Huang Jingye said just now, he should know this old lady, so Liang Yuanque also jumped out of the car and wanted to take a look.
The old lady was caught by Huang Jingye. She was very nervous and uttered random words of begging for mercy.
Huang Jingye brushed aside her messy hair and took a closer look at her appearance.
"Sister-in-law, you are really my sister-in-law."
But the old lady he called sister-in-law didn't recognize him at all and only muttered in her mouth,
"I don't...don't, don't hit me...I was wrong, I was really wrong..."
The old lady's lips were trembling, and all the facial features on her face were distorted. She was obviously mentally disturbed.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"
Huang Jingye was very shocked and grabbed her shoulders and kept calling "Sister-in-law".
Liang Yuanque went over and pulled him away.
"Mr. Huang, calm down. This lady is obviously in a bad mental state. You will scare him."
Huang Jingye looked at his sister-in-law's condition and felt that it made sense, so he let go of his hand first.
Unexpectedly, the old lady became even more excited when she saw Liang Yuanque.
Her face was tense, her chin was too high, and she purred like a broken bellows from her throat, as if she had seen something extraordinary.
Liang Yuanque was startled. Immediately afterwards, the old lady rushed over and clamped Liang Yuanque's wrist tightly with a pair of dry hands like iron pliers.
"Tiewa, Tiewa, are you back? Go home with your mother, go home with your mother quickly!"
The old lady grabbed Liang Yuanque and shouted.
"Hey, no..."
Liang Yuanque wanted to struggle, but seeing how skinny the old lady was, he was afraid that if he moved too hard, he would hurt her.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman chased her with sweat on her face.
"Oh my cousin, I can't see you in the blink of an eye, why are you running on the road!"
The middle-aged woman ran over and saw Huang Jingye at a glance.
"Oh, Jingye, why are you here?"
Before Huang Jingye could reply, the old lady took Liang Yuanque and showed it to the middle-aged woman.
"Cousin, look, Tie Wa is back. Tie Wa is really back. If anyone says he is dead in the future, I will tear his mouth out!"
Liang Yuanque was restrained and smiled awkwardly at the middle-aged woman.
"Ouch, offended! Offended!"
The woman quickly went to pry the old lady's hand, "Auntie, this is not Tie Wa, please let go!"
Huang Jingye also came forward, "Cousin, what's going on?"
The middle-aged woman looked at Huang Jingye and then at Liang Yuanque, with a confused look on her face, not knowing where to start.
Liang Yuanque raised his grabbed hand and said, "Sister-in-law, even if you want me to avoid you, your aunt won't let you."
The woman sighed and faced Huang Jingye, "Well, Jingye, I will explain it to you slowly when I get home."
Huang Jingye pointed to the carriage behind him, "There happens to be a car and I'll take you back together."
The middle-aged woman and Liang Yuanque helped the old lady get into the carriage. Zhuang Youjie in the car was very surprised to see the old lady who was very close to Liang Yuanque.
"No, what's going on with you?"
"It's a good thing, I picked up a girl along the way." Liang Yuanque smiled helplessly, what else could he say.
Huang Jingye looked at his sister-in-law's condition and didn't want to wait for a moment. After sitting down, he immediately asked his cousin-in-law,
"What is going on? Didn't you tell me that my sister-in-law has passed away?"
"Ah?" Liang Yuanque was stunned when he heard this. There is a story in it.
"Oh, family scandals should not be made public..."
Although the middle-aged woman who Huang Jingye called his cousin said so, thinking that everything was now in front of him, Huang Jingye asked step by step and could only tell the truth.
This old lady is indeed Huang Jingye's sister-in-law and her only living elder.
And this woman is the niece-in-law of the old lady's husband's family. From a relationship perspective, Huang Jingye should call her cousin-in-law.
But the old lady is now in a state of confusion and cannot recognize her niece-in-law, and often calls her cousin-in-law.
Liang Yuanque thought to himself, let me just say, this old lady is obviously a generation above her, how could this woman be her cousin-in-law.
When my sister-in-law was young, she also married into a well-off family in Xiaoyu Town, and later gave birth to a son.
Huang Jingye still has some impressions of this cousin. When he left home to work, this cousin was about ten years old and ran to see him off.
When Huang Jingye returned to his hometown this time, he also visited his sister-in-law and cousin, but her husband's family said that they had passed away long ago.
When my cousin was fourteen or fifteen years old, he went to bathe in a small river ditch with others. He slipped and fell into the deep water and never came out again.
My sister-in-law couldn't accept the death of her only son, so she died soon after.
However, in fact, after the unfortunate death of her cousin, my sister-in-law suffered a huge mental breakdown and became a madman.
Her husband's family thought she was embarrassed and kicked her out.
This cousin-in-law was a kind-hearted person. Looking at my sister-in-law's condition, she would definitely not survive long if she was allowed to wander outside, so he took her to his place.
But even so, her husband's family still has requirements that prevent her cousin from releasing her sister-in-law easily and announcing that she is dead.
Huang Jingye was very angry after hearing this.
"What the hell, a poor mother who lost her child, how can she embarrass them? I want to ask them how they got such shame!"
In the past, the Huang family was weak and had to be bullied. Now Huang Jingye has changed. He will definitely not let his family be bullied again!
