"It's a human!" Zhang Dongmei's eyes widened for a moment before she said, "No wonder the talisman paper you sold me, Sister Xu, didn't work, so she wasn't a ghost at all."
Immortal Aunt Xu sniffed with a bit of trepidation.
She was shallow and could only draw a limited number of talismans every day, but with so many people coming to ask for them, she could only sell a mixture of real and fake ones.
Zhang Dongmei is her old customer, doing business with the dead, and bold, never had a problem, Xu Xiannu sold her talisman paper, but also more and more fake.
Zhang Dongmei, however, did not know the slightest thing.
After she finished, she crossed her arms and cursed at Jiang Zhengyi and Liu: "You two murderous old bastard, people are not dead yet, let me match her with a yin marriage, really virtuous, not afraid of retribution."
Jiang Justice's face turned blue.
He was certain that Jiang Yuqi had indeed died when she fell down from the mountain, he had personally touched her, there was no pulse or nose.
How did this dead girl come back to life?
Hearing that her granddaughter was not dead, Liu rushed into the courtyard, wanting to confirm it for herself.
It's only a hundred taels for the marriage, but if she's alive, she'll have two hundred taels if she marries in the capital city next year, and she might even be able to send them back some property every year.
Of course, it's the living that's worth the most.
Liu ran to the big acacia tree, looking at the face of Jiang Yuqi is calmly drinking chicken soup, can not help but scream: "You kill a thousand knife little bitch hooves, this ten chickens I have raised for half a year, just waiting for some days to go to the town to catch the market to sell, to give your younger siblings to add a new coat, you even ate two, you a loser, money-losing goods, you're a starving ghost reincarnation? ..."
The more Liu cursed, the more unpleasant it became, reaching out her hand, she wanted to hit Jiang Yuqi in the face.
Anyway, that bitch Ye Mengwen wasn't there, no one was protecting Jiang Yuqi.
Jiang Yuqi grabbed the kitchen knife that was placed on the stone table, and frightened Liu withdrew her hand and violently took two steps back.
She sat on her butt on the ground and howled loudly, without half a tear on her face.
"Everyone come to see, this is my wife painstakingly raised granddaughter, she not only killed her own father, and today she wants to use the knife to cut me, conscience are eaten by dogs, what sin have I created? If I had known this, when she was born, I should have drowned her in that pool at the east end of the village, and should not have kept this scourge ..."
"Big sister you are crazy, this is grandmother, you actually dare to use a knife on grandmother." Thirteen year old Jiang Yin Yue rushed over, the meanness on her face almost identical to Liu's.
She reached out and pointed at Jiang Yuqi, and said aggressively, "You immediately kneel down and kowtow ten times to grandmother, and then remove the pair of silver bracelets from your hand to compensate grandmother, this matter will be over, I will beg grandmother for mercy and spare you once, otherwise ... grandmother will at least whip you fifty times and punish you for three days without being allowed to Eating."
Jiang Yuqi hand that pair of silver bracelets, is her ten-year-old birthday that year, grandmother let the great uncle to send, not only the weight, on the top of the carved lotus is also extremely fine, Jiang Yin Yue very greedy, but there has been no suitable opportunity to own.
Before Jiang Yuqi "dead", Jiang Yin Yue want, but grandmother said that the dead things bad luck, promised to buy her a new one, she did not take, and now regret.
Jiang Yin Yue's mother Chen Qinghong came up to her mother-in-law Liu said: "Mother, you have seen, this is a white-eyed wolf that can not be bred, she usually look good and obedient, in fact, are all pretending, she dared to use a knife on you, what else would not dare to do?"
"This dead girl is simply the same as sister-in-law, seemingly obedient, but in the end, she did something to make our Jiang family lose face, a mother who does not abide by women's morals, what good daughter can be raised? In my daughter-in-law's opinion, you'd better decide on a family earlier and marry her off."
"That's right, it's simply a disgrace, my granddaughter is embarrassed to go out these days." Jiang Yin Yue added fuel to the fire on the side.
Liu had long since stopped wanting to keep Jiang Yuqi in the Jiang family to raise her, she gritted her teeth and said to Jiang Chunsheng, her second son, who was at the side, "You will leave tomorrow for a trip to the Prefecture City, and tell that Master Li that we are willing to marry Yuqi off a year earlier."
So what if she hasn't reached maturity?
I heard that master Li not only official, but also particularly like young and beautiful girls, they married Yu Qi in advance, even if not round house, people will also keep her, save to stay in the Jiang family eyesore.
Anyway, the eldest daughter-in-law has already been kicked out of the Jiang family by them, no one is protecting this dead girl anymore, this girl's affinity, it will be up to her, the grandmother, to make the decision.
"Mother." Jiang Chunsheng looked puzzled: "Yu Qi is not yet mature, it's better to wait until next year to get married."
Liu's eyes widened at the words.
Wasn't that Elder Li the second son's connection? He was the one who suggested marrying Yu Qi to Master Li as a concubine, so why did this kid suddenly back out?
Liu was about to ask for clarification when Xu Xian Gu's voice came to her ears.
"People who eat our bowl of rice, pay attention to karma, I have labored a lot today, said fifty taels of silver, that can't be less, you guys hurry up and bring the silver, I still have to make a trip to the county town to help Master Liu's family exorcise the evil spirits."
"Immortal Aunt Xu, do you think it can be less?" Liu saw Jiang Zhengyi giving her a wink, she hurriedly climbed up and went in front of Immortal Aunt Xu, asking with a smile.
"Can't." Immortal Aunt Xu said in a cold voice.
"We really can t take so much silver ... to sell our family s small yard and tea mountain, also can t come up with so much." Liu opened her mouth pitifully.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were terrified at the time, and the people in the village were forcing them to hurry up and invite Immortal Aunt Xu to exorcise the ghosts, they wouldn't have agreed to it with a stiff upper lip.
Fifty taels of silver!
It's too much, if they really give it, their Jiang family's savings over the years will be gone, how can their two grandchildren study?
Not waiting for her to finish, Jiang Yuqi said: "She's cheating you, Jiang family hall behind a hut, the house has a vat, vat inside a wooden box, wooden box containing five hundred taels of silver, each one is ten taels, there are fifty."
As soon as Jiang Yuqi's words fell, the entire courtyard fell silent.
Red Cliff Village was located in the Tianhe Province to the west of the Great Yan Dynasty, a small mountain village in the middle of nowhere.
However, Red Cliff Village was backed by Danhua Mountain, which produced tea, and throughout Red Cliff Village, every family had land on the tea mountain, some more and some less.
In addition, there is no lack of some hundreds of years of ancient tea trees on Danhua Mountain, as long as not afraid of danger, dare to enter the deep mountains to pick tea, or can live a solid day.
However, to be able to save up one or two taels of silver every year is already a great deal.
Five hundred taels of silver is also a huge sum of money for the people of this small mountain village.
"You ... are talking nonsense, where did our family get that much silver?" Jiang Yin Yue loudly scolded.
Jiang Justice, who was the head of the family, but sank a face and didn't say anything.
How did this dead girl know that silver bills were hidden in that vat?
Liu looked at Jiang Justice, her eyes filled with shock.
Could it be that that vat really contained five hundred taels of silver?
She found a wooden box in the vat two days ago, and wanted to open it, but found it locked.
The old man saw her holding the wooden box, but also put her reprimanded, said no one is allowed to move, and then threw her out, will be the small house locked.
