She halted her steps and asked Erzhuzi's father, "What happened? Who died? Was it Zhang Family's Sixth Brother, or his wife?"
Erzhuzi's father glanced around, saw no one else, and thus lowered his voice, "Zhang Family's Sixth's daughter is the one who died. They say she ran off with a man, but it turns out he already had a wife. When his wife learned that he was having an affair, she got furious and took people to find the girl... Later, it was said that the wife beat the girl to death and dumped her body next to a stinky ditch. Those who saw the body said her face was so smashed up it was horrendous to look at."
"Are they bringing her back to bury her?" Zhang Juyun asked.
"What else?" said Erzhuzi's father, shaking his head. "It's truly sinful. They say she was pregnant and the baby died in her womb too. Today is the seventh day since the girl's death... You know, set off more firecrackers and burn some paper to dispel the bad luck."
