    Chapter 21 I’ll tell you a story (3)

    Yao Qianjin had a fiery temper. When she got home, she didn’t think about food or tea, and she pestered her father to find out about Chen Bohuan.Although Chen Bohuan is married, it is a world where people worship behind closed doors. Who knows about it from all over the country?In the town, even the Luo and Chen families didn’t know anything about the marriage arrangement.

    So Yao Qianjin learned that Mr. Chen “has not yet married a wife.”

    The county magistrate made several inspections and found that Xiao Chen was capable, gentle, and his family’s financial situation was not bad, so he sent someone to discuss the marriage with the Chen family.

    Chen Yuanwai was very upset now. They politely told the county magistrate that they should think about it first, closed the door, and the two old guys started arguing.

    Chen Yuanwai said: “You are anxious! That poor scholar died early. Originally, his daughter should have been mourning for him for three years. If you hadn’t asked him to come and get married first, our son would have had time to regret it now! Look what this is!”

    Mrs. Chen was also anxious: “Blame me? Weren’t you the one who wanted to marry the baby in the first place? Now it’s better, the county magistrate’s daughter! Is Na Xian… can Na Luo Xian Xian compare?”

    The two old bastards argued behind closed doors with red faces and red ears. In the end, they lost all energy and gasped across the table.

    Chen Yuanwai asked: “What should we do? How about we bring the county magistrate back.”

    Mrs. Chen said: “…We can’t go back. Our Chen family will go home with Yao Qianjin.”

    Chen Yuanwai said angrily: “Can the daughter of the Yao family be a concubine? Is it possible? Our son already has one in the house, how can he fit it in? Look at how loving the young couple are!”

    “…” Mrs. Chen didn’t say anything. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up and she murmured, “Old Chen, I’m thinking that no one knows about the matter between Luo Xianxian and our son except the people in our family…”

    After a few moments of silence, Mr. Chen was stunned for a while and suddenly understood his wife’s intention.

    He was shaking a little, half in fear and half in excitement.

    “You, you mean…”

    “If no one knows, it doesn’t mean we are married.” Mrs. Chen said, “We will try to drive her away. If we are too soft, we will be hard. People from all over the country know that our son is not married. Do you still remember the time when she stole oranges when she was a child? As long as all of us bite her to death, she will open her mouth seventeen or eight times, and she will be called a mouthless one!”

    Chen Yuanwai strode to the door, confirmed that the door was closed tightly, and hurriedly walked over. The two people who had been arguing like a cockfight just now were nestled together again, lowering their voices and discussing.

    Chen Yuanwai said: “I’m afraid your method won’t work.”

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Our son will not agree. He has been in love with Luo Xianxian since he was a child. If you ask him to fall out with someone, how can he agree?”

    Mrs. Chen thought for a while, patted her wife’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this.”

    After a while, Mrs. Chen suddenly fell seriously ill. The illness was weird. The doctor could not figure out the cause, but she was going crazy all day long, talking nonsense, and kept saying that she was possessed by a ghost.

    Mr. Chen was so worried that he invited a Taoist priest. He carried a fly whisk on his back in a Taoist manner, and he calculated with his fingers that something in the Chen family was targeting Mrs. Chen. If it was not resolved, Mrs. Chen would not survive until the end of the year.

    Chen Bohuan was the most filial person, and he became anxious at that time and asked: “What happened to my mother?”

    The Taoist priest pretended to be mysterious and walked around for a long time, saying that she was a “beauty who cannot see the light”.

    Everyone in the room was stunned, and the sons of the Chen family all turned back to look at Luo Xianxian who was standing beside them.

    Luo Xianxian was also stunned.

    In fact, she has been told many times since she was a child that she was destined to be a lone star. She killed her mother as soon as she was born, then her brother, and later her father.

    Now, she is being pointed at again, saying that she wants to kill her mother-in-law.

    The Chen family was anxious, and several brothers took turns telling her to leave the Chen family. No one outside knew that she was married and her reputation was clean. They would give her some money and let her find a good family.

    Luo Xianxian was anxious and scared. She was really worried that she had defeated Mrs. Chen, and she shed tears all day long.

    Chen Bohuan was heartbroken and saw his mother becoming increasingly haggard, and he was in a dilemma. He was unwilling to leave Xianxian, but he couldn’t bear the suffering of his mother.People lose a lot of weight quickly.

    The brothers of the Chen family quit working. One day, while the boss was away, they found their sister-in-law.Luo Xianxian was mixing Butterfly Incense Powder in the greenhouse. They rushed over and knocked over her utensils. The powder fell all over her body, and the fragrant smell seemed to be soaked into her bones instantly and could not be washed away.

    Several brothers first gathered around her and talked about “women’s virtues” and “wives and daughters are inferior, and parents are respected.” But Luo Xianxian was a very resilient person. Although she was timid, she was very stubborn. She cried and said that she was unwilling to leave, and begged them to think of another way.

    The second eldest son of the Chen family was anxious, so he went up and gave her a slap in the face and said to her: “Our mother is going to be killed by you, a lone evil star. If there is a way, will your father die?”Will your mother die?Will your brother’s life or death remain unknown?”

    As soon as he hit him, the others rushed forward, punching and kicking Luo Xianxian, shouting “get out of here”, “harmful spirit” and “sangmenxing”.

    These sons are all of the same mind as their mother. In fact, they have known her mother’s plan for a long time. At this time, while the boss was away, they worked together to expel Luo Xianxian from the house and threatened her that if she dared to come back, she would be beaten every day. Anyway, she had no natal family, and even if she was beaten to death, no one would breathe a sigh of relief for her.

    It was a snowy night.Luo Xianxian was thrown into the snow covered in bruises, and one of her embroidered shoes fell off.

    She crawled forward slowly, letting out inarticulate choked sobs, like the low howl of a young animal before dying.

    It was late at night, and in such a snowy day, few people would go out. She was crawling in the vast sky and earth, not knowing where she was going, or where else she could go.

    The Chen family brothers were right.

    She has no natal family, no father, no brother, no one can stand up for her, no one can take her in.

    There is no place in this vast white world of mortals.

    The bones in her body were not strong. When she was thrown out, she was wearing thin clothes and was freezing. Her legs and feet soon became numb and she had no intuition.

    Climbing all the way to the outskirts of the city, she came to the earth temple where the ghost master of ceremonies was worshiped. She huddled up in the temple to hide from the snow, her lips were blue and purple from the cold, and her heart was even more desolate.

    Looking up at the clay statue with bright red makeup, tears could not help but roll down.Recalling the rules of the lower cultivation world, couples should be witnessed by a master of ceremonies when they get married.

    At that time, she was just wearing a red flower on her temples, smiling brightly, and kowtow to Chen Bohuan.

    Is this closed-door marriage just a big dream? Is the picturesque beauty in the dim brass mirror that day just a sound of lust deep in her drunken dream?

    She knelt in front of the ghost master of ceremonies, dragging her increasingly heavy and cold body, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, crying and laughing.

    “We are married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about their love for each other.Joy…on…tonight…”

    She gradually felt dizzy and her vision became increasingly blurry.

    A thin layer of moonlight seemed to fall in front of her eyes. In the small courtyard in the past, she cried and said: “I didn’t steal it, I didn’t steal it, I didn’t steal the orange.””

    However, three people become tigers, and people’s words are formidable, and no one will believe her one-sided words.

    To this day, she knows that even if she goes to make people cry and say that she is really Chen Bohuan’s married wife, no one will believe her. She is still the little girl beside the earthen wall with nowhere to redress her grievances.

    Nothing has changed.

    But there was still a person who climbed over the wall, stuffed a steaming white steamed bun into the palm of his hand, and said to himself: “You are hungry, hurry up and eat a steamed bun to satisfy your hunger.””

    Now… where is that person…

    Will he be anxious if he can’t find himself when he comes back, or will he be secretly relieved that his mother will finally not be kidnapped again?

    Luo Xianxian curled up in the earth temple, with tears gradually drying up, and whispered: “Master of Ceremonies, I want to be with him.I am he’s first wife… When we worshiped, there was no master of ceremonies nearby. You are a ghost master of ceremonies and can’t control living people, but I… I can only talk to you… to you…”

    She whimpered in fragments, and made the last sound in her throat: “I didn’t lie…”

    I didn’t lie.

    The heavy snow makes no sound, and the long night is silent.

    The next day, townspeople passing by the earth temple on the outskirts of the city discovered Luo Xianxian’s cold body.

    The author has something to say:

    Chu Wanning: Don’t stop me, let me beat his whole family to death, and it will be mine when the Lord asks!

    Ink Feeding Fish: (hugs me) Judge, please calm down. Judge, please return to the bench!
