It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 236

I heard that Mrs. Wang became hysterical after she went to Dongshan Village, and she kept muttering about seeing ghosts.

These days, people in Wangjia Village, no matter how close they are or how cold the weather is, will go to Old Lady Wang's house to join in the fun when they have free time, and will listen to her stories about seeing ghosts without getting tired of it.

Chang Liuhua found an empty seat and sat down, her fingers intertwining as she weaved the straw rope. She opened her mouth and asked, "Aunt Nian, tell me again. Didn't you go to Dongshan Village to visit your daughter? How did you see a ghost?"

"Bah! Liuhua, stop talking nonsense. You can't keep talking about that thing. Be careful or you'll attract it!"

Mrs. Wang tried to stop him nervously, but then she shared the details of the day.

"Your Aunt Nian never makes up lies. Don't take it lightly like others do. It's absolutely true."

Chang Liuhua lowered her eyes, thinking that since she had been married to Wangjia Village for more than ten years, she had heard so many lies from Old Lady Wang that they could fill several baskets with them. Every time, they would start with "Your Aunt Nian/Your Grandmother Nian never tells lies." No wonder others didn't believe them after hearing them. If they did, it would be really weird.

"Didn't I say before the New Year that I saw someone running past the village entrance? Although everyone said that I had poor eyesight and must have seen it wrong, I also thought I saw it wrong when they said that, but when I lay on the kang at night and thought about it, I realized that I really saw someone.

And in the direction that person ran, there was no other village except Dongshan Village. So after that day, I thought that your sister Yingfeng must have returned.

"Liuhua, you know how Auntie always misses Yingfeng. I thought about waiting a few days before going to see her. But I finally forced myself not to go.

After all, Yingfeng is married, and she has a lot of things to do before the New Year. Wouldn't it be troublesome for her to come to her house at this time? So my aunt thought that she would be able to return home for a reunion on the second day of the New Year.

Chang Liuhua looked up at Old Lady Wang, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly. No matter how many times she heard these words, she still felt speechless.

How she treats Yingfeng, after all these years in the same village, wouldn't they know? She said she was afraid of causing trouble for Yingfeng by coming to her house before the New Year. She was probably worried that Yingfeng's in-laws would ask for her things back. Oh, grain prices in the city have gone up, so she might be worried about borrowing grain.

"Who knew she wouldn't come even after the New Year? I couldn't wait any longer, so I took your sister Tang to Dongshan Village to look for her."

At this point, Old Lady Wang still had some complaints. "Their village is really unrefined. Not only is the snow piled up on the road and no one clears it, but no one clears the entrance either. They've even dug several pits. When I walk, I take one deep step and one shallow step, slower than a turtle. I also have to be careful not to fall into a pit and break some bones."

These words made her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law look like fools. Tang refused to acknowledge them and shouted from the other room, "Mom, there's no one in their village to sweep the snow for you."

Old Lady Wang thought, there must be some ghost there... She coughed twice, indicating that she was going to get to the point.

"We were planning to go visit Yingfeng's house, but after just a few steps, I got stuck in a snow pit and couldn't move. Your sister Tang lowered her head and pulled my foot, and I turned my head with the force, and saw a figure in linen clothes floating by in the distance and disappearing into the forest."

"Snowflakes are falling behind Mai at such a fast speed that they disappear in the blink of an eye. If it's not a ghost, what is it?"

Chang Liuhua: ... "Aunt, this sounds possible."

Old Lady Wang said: "Impossible, there is no one in their village, where did they come from? And who would wear mourning clothes during the New Year when there is nothing to do?"

Chang Liuhua: "Auntie, have you gone in and taken a look? You are really brave."

Mrs. Wang was very honest now: "I didn't dare. I just wanted everyone to accompany me to take a look."

Chang Liuhua's mind raced, and after some association, she came to the conclusion that Old Lady Wang had gone to her daughter's house to steal something, but was afraid that the villagers would find out and talk about her behind her back, so she deliberately staged this drama to make everyone think that Dongshan Village was haunted. She didn't dare go in, so she was innocent.

Chang Liuhua suggested with a smile: "I'm too timid to go. How about asking a Taoist priest or a fortune teller to go to Dongshan Village and take a look?"

Mrs. Wang was immediately anxious: "Inviting them for free? Don't even think about it!"
