Tap tap tap tap.
At midnight, Auntie Zhang heard a gentle knock on the door.
“Who is this?” Auntie Zhang asked in confusion.
“This is me, Little Jiang.” His soft voice was like a drizzle in Jiangnan.
Auntie Zhang immediately opened the door and saw Madam Jiang standing in front of the door wearing an old robe. He had a slender figure and another world face. When Madam Jiang entered the village, Auntie Zhang had just gotten married. After eighteen years, Auntie Zhang was no longer young, but Madam Jiang still looked the same as when they first met.
Aunt Zhang said in surprise, “Why are you here? What's the problem?”
Madam Jiang said gently, “Sister and Sister-in-law need to prepare a New Year's meal. I have to go and help. Ah Wan and Bruiser were still asleep. Ah Wan seemed to catch a cold yesterday and wasn't feeling well so I was a little worried. Can I trouble you to help me keep an eye on him? I know it's too early and it might trouble you, but I can't think of anyone else.”
Auntie Zhang spryly said, “Of course! I'll go and take care of you!”
Madam Jiang smiled gently. “Thank you, Sister Zhang.”
….
“Not good! No fine! Something big has happened!”
The village chief was awakened by the screams of Auntie Bai.
Auntie Bai was famous for her loud voice in the village. He had a good voice and everyone could still hear his voice when they went to the city.
He lived next door to the village chief. Her husband is a distant cousin of the mother's family. She did not know how far her husband was. However, they live close to each other and often interact, so they look closer than other relatives.
Therefore, when something happened, he was the one who first ran towards the village chief's house.
However, it was still too early and the family of the village chief was sleeping.
The village chief frowned unhappily and pushed the woman beside him. “Go and see what happens?”
“I'm not going.” Little Chen wrapped himself in a blanket and turned around.
The last name of the village chief's sister-in-law was also Chen. Everyone in the village called him Big Chen, and his wife was called Little Chen. His brother's family had already moved to another village, but they had never changed the way they called him.
“You lazy lady!”
The village chief could not move Little Chen, so he could only wear his own clothes.
Auntie Bai's scream continued like a slaughtered pig while knocking on the door at the same time. The village chief was very suspicious that the door of his house would be knocked down by this distant brother.
“Come, come. Why are you yelling so early?” The village chief took off the cold door latch, and his fingers were so cold that they hurt.
When Auntie Bai heard the sound of the door latch being removed, she did not wait for the village chief to open the door and break in.
Fortunately, the village chief dodged it in time. Otherwise, he would be slapped at the door.
The village chief glared at him. “See you!”
Auntie Bai said frantically, “No, no. I really want to say something serious. Mother Zhao Heng... Something big happened!”
“What happened to his mother?” The expression of the village chief became even more concerned upon hearing Zhao Heng's name.
Auntie Bai said, “She..she threw herself into the well! Hurry and see!”
It was a New Year, but someone committed suicide. How did this happen?
The village chief no longer wanted to complain about Auntie Bai and went to the old well at the village entrance with her.
This well is quite old, but it never dries. Villagers still often come here to fetch water. Auntie Bai was one of the people who came early in the morning to bring a bucket of water. He threw the bucket down and heard a clang, as if he had hit something. He leaned over and saw a person with most of his body submerged in water.
He thought he had seen a water ghost and fell to the ground in fear!
On second thought, he thought something was wrong. The sky is clear. Where did the ghost come from?
He took a closer look and recognized that it was Lady Zhao.
When the village chief rushed to the old well, Madam Zhao had asked Shuanzi's father and some powerful cultivators to raise him.
“I think his leg is broken,” said one of the hunters in the village.
“His arm seems to have broken too,” whispered Shuanzi's father.
“How could he not plunge himself into the well correctly?” Shuanzi. If he throws himself into a well. Bah! Why would he do that!
Everyone also felt that he broke it when he threw himself into the well. How else could that happen? Did he let someone break his arms and legs? Who has the ability to do it ?!
Most of the villagers were startled by Auntie Bai's loud voice. No one expected to see this early in the morning.
“Really sin.” Auntie Bai clicked her tongue.
“Mother!” Zhao Heng rushed over, followed by Zhao Baomei who was wearing a cotton jacket.
When Zhao Baomei saw the corpse-like appearance of Lady Zhao, she cried!
Zhao Heng crouched helplessly. “Mother! Mom mom!”
Auntie Bai said anxiously, “Aiya, don't just stand there! Quickly take off your cotton clothes and wrap around them! Then go back and boil some water for a hot bath!”
Zhao Heng did as she was told and took off her cotton shirt to wrap it around Madam Zhao.
Shuanzi's father and several men found a door and brought Madame Zhao who was about to die back to the Zhao residence.
Some women go to help boil hot water.
Zhao Baomei cried and could not help at all.
Little Chen rushed to the Zhao residence and changed Madam Zhao's clothes with some aunts.
The village chief began to ask the Zhao brothers why Ms. Zhao wanted to throw himself into the well.
Zhao Heng was confused. “My mom was fine last night.”.
Although Madam Zhao was angry, her son had returned so Madam Zhao came back to life. He was more energetic than anyone else when he complained. From the looks of it, it was fine for him to live for another hundred years!
Why did he suddenly take things so hard .. and throw himself into the well?
Zhao Heng was even more confused than the village chief.
The only person who knew was Zhao Baomei.
After Zhao Baomei told Lady Zhao about Yu Wan entering the brothel, Lady Zhao immediately declared that she wanted everyone to know about the naughty girl's scandal. He wanted the little girl drowned in a pigsty! He wanted the little girl dead!
Therefore, his mother went to the entrance of the village not to throw herself into the well, but to ring the bell.
But... How did he fall into the well? His mother is not that lazy…
As Zhao Baomei was confused, Madam Jiang and Yu Wan came to visit.
In the past, this mother and son had a difficult life. They're pale and skinny. Now that their lives are better, their weight is gaining and their skin is bright. At first glance, it attracts attention.
Of course Madam Jiang is still a little ill. Yu Wan held onto his arm, as if he was afraid he would fall.
“I heard that something happened to Sister Zhao. Very sad.” Madam Jiang pinched her handkerchief and said with a sad expression.
The village chief sighed. “It is difficult for you to forget the past and specifically come to see him.”
“Of course,” said Mrs Jiang innocently.
The village chief said with a headache, “I heard from Zhao Baomei that her mother came out at dawn .. Huh, why did she throw herself into the well for no reason?”
Exactly right. Why would such a coward throw himself into a well?
Yu Wan looked inside the room in confusion. Coincidentally, Zhao Baomei came out with a large basin filled with wet clothes and met with Yu Wan's gaze.
Muffled thunder suddenly exploded in Zhao Baomei's mind. He raised his finger and pointed at Yu Wan. “That's him! He hurt my mom! He pushed my mom into the well!”
