I become a god in another world

Chapter 164

After the trouble occurred, the couple hated their daughter who was "provoking trouble". The father accused her:

"You family troublemaker, your brother's reputation has been ruined and he won't be a wife in the future. Even if you die, it won't be a pity!"

The mother of Madam Zhuang Si also scolded:

"It's an egg. Just admit it. You have to make a big fuss and everyone knows. I've long seen that you haven't been peaceful since you were a child. It's really an injustice to give birth to you."

That day, the Fourth Lady Zhuang did nothing wrong, but she was dragged and beaten and scolded by her sister-in-law.

After the incident came to light, her parents also blamed her and did not comfort her.

"I pity this child's hard life, and I learned that she now has no place to live."

Mrs. Zhuang Si's family was not wealthy, so as her brother and sister-in-law got married, the houses were divided one by one, and her residence was arranged to be renovated into a pigsty in her former home.

She was in the most beautiful age of a girl at that time, and her reputation was far and wide, but her parents didn't like her and thought she was a freeloader at home. Even though she worked all day long, she didn't get a good look.

"I felt sorry for her situation. I remembered that my husband's cousin's youngest son was not married yet, and my cousin and sister-in-law were looking around for unmarried women with good character, so I came up with the idea of ​​​​involving a matchmaker."

Uncle Liu sniffed and lifted up the corner of her clothes to wipe her tears:

"At that time, the fourth lady was left crying until she was about to die. After coaxing her for a long time, he asked her if she would like to marry into Kuai Liang Village."

"Aren't you harming people?"

Zhang Chuanshi interjected:

"Zhuang Laoqi said that Kuai Wu is famous for being lazy——"

"No, no."

When Liu Shuniang heard this, she waved her hands quickly:

"Lao Wu was not like this before."

Uncle Kuai, who had been silent since Uncle Liu's previous speech, answered at this time:

"Lao Wu was a good kid in the past. He was handsome, about the same age as Si Niangzi, and he was also very diligent at home. He was a good hand in the fields and fields. He was also good at weaving bamboo strips. In his spare time, he would make some bamboo I went to Wuli Store to sell the baskets."

The Kuai Wu he mentioned and the Kuai Wu mentioned by Zhao Fusheng from Zhuang Laoqi seemed to be two different people.

Zhao Fusheng said curiously:

"Did Zhuang Laoqi lie?"

"No, he didn't lie." Uncle Kuai Liu shook his head again.

"That's strange. Since Zhuang Laoqi didn't lie, it proves that Kuai Wu is a lazy man, but you still say that Kuai Wu is diligent. Isn't this contradictory?" Zhang Chuanshi complained.

"Master, listen to me, if you want to blame this matter, it's God who doesn't have eyes."

Uncle Kuai Liu said:

"My mother-in-law mentioned this marriage, and I was very happy for Kuai Wu. On the day she and the Fourth Lady were angry, I quickly went to my cousin's house. When I mentioned this marriage, my cousin was overjoyed."

After Kuai Juming's wife fell in love with her, she also went out to inquire about Mrs. Zhuang Si's personality, and all she heard were compliments about her.

He also knew that she was not having a good life in her natal family, and that the child had a docile temperament and was not a mean and troublemaker. He felt very sorry for her and had already identified this daughter-in-law in his heart.

After the couple discussed the matter, they prepared gifts and invited Uncle Liu to come to visit her maternal cousin and sister-in-law.

Although Mrs. Zhuang Si's parents didn't like their daughter very much, they were very concerned about her daughter's marriage.

As she grew older, more and more people proposed to marry her. The couple put a tight squeeze on her marriage, and many people who could not meet the conditions would not agree.

The sixth uncle came with a gift and said that her husband's family had a cousin who was about the same age as the Fourth Lady Zhuang and had a good family background. The cousin and his wife were not mean to the daughter-in-law and the family lived a harmonious life. She learned that the Fourth Lady Zhuang had a good reputation. , I want to say goodbye to my younger son.

The parents of Madam Zhuang Si were immediately interested in the marriage mentioned by Uncle Six.

Kuai Liang Village is famous for its unity and prosperity in the surrounding villages. If their daughter can marry into Kuai Liang Village, not to mention the betrothal gift, she might be able to subsidize her natal brothers in the future - they see Liu Shuniang often returning home after her marriage. My mother-in-law’s family packed a lot of food as soon as they arrived, and they were already greedy.

The couple had no objections to the marriage, but because of the poverty of their family and the reputation of Lady Zhuang Si, the couple made a request: the betrothal gift needed to be larger.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Liu Shuniang said:

"My cousin's life was very tight. There were many children, and they always had to open their mouths to eat and drink. Plus, my cousin-in-law had an old man in his teens at the time."

That boy had a bad reputation. He didn't work hard with his family when he was twelve or thirteen, and he didn't learn a trade. He just ate and drank with his peers. It would not be easy for him to get a wife in the future.

Mrs. Zhuang's parents were so worried that they were almost bald. They remembered that a few years ago, Zhuang's seventh cousin's aunt had a daughter who married into Huanggang Village and received a large betrothal gift, and they were moved.

The couple wanted to save money by marrying off their daughter for their son's future wife.

"They asked for one tael of silver as a betrothal gift, and in addition to some pork and cloth."

This amount of money is not a small amount.

But when Kuai Wu learned that both parties were interested in the marriage, he secretly took a look at Mrs. Zhuang Si and immediately fell in love with this girl.

He thought that the marriage was a sure thing, but unexpectedly he encountered such a setback. He was confused and told his parents that he would not consider getting married for the time being and would talk about it in the future when it was suitable.

"As a parent, you can't tell what's in his heart." Uncle Kuai Liu said:

"My cousin and cousin-in-law couldn't bear to part with their son, so they agreed."

How can one tael of silver be so easy to save, not to mention that the couple had already cut their belts in order to get their first four sons married.

At this time, they had to save another tael of silver, so the couple worked harder than before.

The four sons and daughter-in-law are also very sensible. When they learned that their parents were in trouble and wanted to help their younger brother, they all helped save money.

"The whole family works together, and the fifth child is also happy. He always goes to Zhuangjia Village and helps them carry water and work. The Zhuangjia family also likes him very much."

Originally, everything was going well, but at the end of the year, the money was almost saved, but something happened.

"In September of that year, my cousin said that after selling the baisu that year, he still had a little money left. He wanted to catch more fish in the latter half of the year. Then most of them would be sold, and the rest would be made into salted fish and added to the old fish. Five’s betrothal gift list.”

When Uncle Kuai Liu mentioned the past, his tone was a little choked:

"When we were fishing later, someone else's body couldn't bear it after being in the water for a long time. He came ashore early. He was thinking about his son's betrothal gift and refused to come up. In the end, he was caught in a net of aquatic plants in the river. By the time someone fished him out, he had already died."

The hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest point, and bad luck only finds the poor.

"..."

After Zhao Fusheng was reborn, he inherited the memory of the original owner. He always felt that the original Zhao Fusheng had a very miserable life, but now he couldn't help but sigh when he heard about the past between Kuai Wu and Zhuang Si.

Before they got married, one of them was gentle and the other was hard-working and active. Now that they have experienced such a blow, even if they reluctantly get married, they may become a bitter couple.

Even Zhang Chuanshi, the most foul-mouthed person, was speechless.

"After the incident happened, the family members were immediately hit hard, and Lao Wu blamed himself the most."

It can be said that his father died because of his marriage, which was a big blow to him.

"He said he didn't want to get married and insisted on using the money to pay for his father's funeral. His mother slapped him hard and said he was ignorant."

Before his father died, what he wanted most was for his youngest son to get married and start a family and live a happy life.

Uncle Kuai Liu shook his head.

The villagers gathered money and supplies to organize Kuai Juming's funeral. Afterwards, Kuai Wuniang took her husband's hard-earned money and proposed marriage to Zhuang Siniang's parents.

Although the marriage was held as scheduled, things changed inside.

Zhuang Siniang's parents were embarrassed and aggrieved. They didn't want anything to happen to their in-laws. Now that their daughter was married, they didn't get good looks from her son-in-law's family. "After getting married, the fifth child is unbecoming, and he picks up his nose and raises his eyebrows at the fourth lady."

Sixth Uncle Niang said:

"We also tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen."

His father died because of his marriage. Although his brothers and sisters did not blame him, his mother fell ill shortly after his marriage and died after a year and a half. The resentment in his heart reached its extreme.

Since then, the couple who were supposed to be in love have become enemies.

"When my cousin was alive, what a good kid Lao Wu was? Everyone had to praise him when he saw him. At that time, he ran to Zhuangjia Village every two days. The boy from Zhuang Siniang's wife would sit on his shoulders when he saw him. Follow him all the way.”

Kuai Liushu sighed:

"During the Chinese New Year, the fourth lady also came to our village. She always laughed when she saw everyone. Who would have expected what would happen next?"

This marriage began to undergo drastic changes after Kuai Juming's death, casting a shadow.

When Kuai Wu's wife died, the relationship between the couple completely broke down.

From then on, Kuai Wu was extremely lazy and addicted to alcoholism. He did nothing at home. He stopped picking baisu every year and didn't feed the livestock at home.

On the day when the Fourth Lady Zhuang was pregnant and gave birth to her son, he was still out drinking and playing. It was the Lady Kuai who brought her three sisters-in-law to help call the midwives and take care of the house.

"In the beginning, life was barely manageable, but later it got worse and worse. My family was in debt, and my fifth brother was still borrowing money to buy wine."

If the money owed is too much, no matter how united the villagers are, they will inevitably feel unhappy.

"At this time, the taxes were heavy and his family couldn't afford it, so several brothers chipped in the money. As time went by, the four sisters-in-law became unhappy and disliked the couple." Kuai Liushu said:

"There was a quarrel in the middle that we wanted to separate the family, but the brothers didn't allow it."

Kuai Liang Village has always been united. Before their children reach adulthood, their parents help their children live their lives wholeheartedly. When their parents grow old, their children return to support their parents and elders.

Before this, there had never been any precedent for dividing the family.

Kuai Wu broke the jar and often got drunk. Faced with the complaints and scoldings of his brother and sister-in-law, he turned into resentment towards the fourth wife of Zhuang and went home to beat his wife.

One of the words he always kept on his lips was: I bought you with money, and it is only natural that I should beat you to death.

When they were not married, the two of them had a sweet time, but they never imagined that they would live like this later.

……

Uncle Kuai Liu kept talking for a long time, and after finishing explaining the reasons for the marriage between Kuai Wu and Madam Zhuang Si, he suddenly asked:

"As people get older, they talk endlessly when talking about the past. By the way, sir, when you mentioned the wealth earlier, this gentleman once said that he——"

He turned his eyes to Fan Wujiu and stopped mid-sentence.

"he died."

Zhao Fusheng replied.

"nonsense!"

Kuai Mancai, who was originally a little sad because Kuai Liushu mentioned Kuai Wu's past experiences, heard this and jumped up anxiously and shouted:

"I'm clearly standing here alive."

"It's true." Wu Shaochun originally had a very bad impression of everyone in Kuai Liang Village because of Zhuang Lao Qi's words, but now after hearing the grievances told by Kuai Liushu and others about the past, Wu Shaochun felt sad again.

He explained aloud:

"Zhuang Laoqi said that before the incident, Zhuangjia Village saw that the opposite village was shrouded in heavy fog across a river, and it was hard to see clearly. Our adults said it was a ghost land—"

Having said this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said:

"After the evil ghost revives, it will form a ghost realm. Where the ghost realm is shrouded, living people will have difficulty escaping and will be trapped in the ghost realm."

Uncle Kuai Liu frowned, and Zhao Fusheng said again:

"Seven or eight days ago, according to Zhuang Laoqi, someone from Kuailiang Village suddenly crossed the river in a black boat and ran into Zhuangjia Village to ask for help, saying that something big had happened in Kuailiang Village."

And this major event was the death of Lady Zhuang Si. "The person who delivered the message at that time was Kuai Mancai."

As she spoke, her eyes turned to Kuai Mancai.

Kuai Liushu and others also turned to stare at Kuai Mancai. Kuai Liushu had a stern expression:

"Full of wealth——"

"No, Uncle Six." Kuai Mancai defended loudly with a look of injustice on his face:

"I have never seen a black boat, nor have I crossed the river to ask for help. Such a scandal happened in the village, how could I spread such news to the outside world?"

He said:

"What's more, after the incident that day, our village was 'sealed'. The riverside was covered with strange flowers. No one could get in. How could I go out?" He said a little aggrievedly.

When Uncle Kuai Liu heard this, he nodded:

"Sir, this matter is indeed strange." He said with a serious expression.

"We did use lynching that day to execute the Fourth Lady. Strange things happened in the village after her death."

"What's weird?" Zhao Fusheng's heart moved and he asked curiously.

"It was really strange that her body did not sink after she died. We pulled her body ashore and found firewood to cremate her. However, the fire suddenly went out in the middle of the fire, and the previously unburned body suddenly turned into blood. , flowed into the ground and disappeared completely.”

"This is the resurrection of the evil ghost after death." Zhao Fusheng said.

When she said this, she felt very strange in her heart.

After the Li Gui wakes up, he becomes extremely ferocious and kills people at every turn.

Logically speaking, the fourth lady Zhuang should have killed a lot of people now that she has been promoted to at least the calamity level.

The bottom of the yellow-dyed spring water was full of dead bodies except for the ghosts.

But the situation was dangerous at that time, and she didn't know where these dead bodies came from, or whether they were people from Zhuangjia Village crossing the river, or--

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng looked up at Uncle Kuai Liu again.

He frowned, fear and depression almost overflowing from his eyes.

These people in front of me are so real that they don't look fake at all.

She endured the speculation in her heart and asked again:

"What happened after Li Gui recovered?"

Uncle Kuai Liu said helplessly:

"The adults may not believe it. We also thought it was haunted at the time, but after the blood disappeared, nothing strange happened, so we returned to the village."

In the middle of the night, after experiencing this strange incident, the people in the village were panicked and afraid, and they did not dare to go home to rest after returning.

"We were worried that something might happen, so we gathered around the ancestral hall and prepared to make do with it for the night. We would wait until daybreak to see what happened -"
