Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 145

[Chapter 145 Lazy Sanniang (3)]

According to legend, in the Baihua Village of the Song Dynasty, there was a famous lazy girl. She was lazy enough to be compared with domestic animals. All day long, in addition to eating, she slept. Knowing the change, the room has never been cleaned up, and she is twenty years old, and she is still waiting for her to be in her boudoir. If such a person was born into a wealthy family, that would be her fate, but this girl was born into a poor family, and the family made a living by collecting herbs. There are three sisters in the family. The eldest is a man. Because of his hard work, he married a wife early. The second is a girl. Ranking the third child, others call her Lazy Sanniang. Both the married brother and the married sister don’t like the third child very much, because she is too lazy to do anything from childhood to adulthood, so after getting married, she will no longer communicate with the third child, but the parents can’t help it, after all It was the flesh that fell from his own body, poor or poor, and he also held Lan Sanniang in his hands, and it hurt in his heart.

One day, Lan Sanniang’s father returned from collecting herbs on the mountain, and just after putting down the herbal basket, he heard Lan Sanniang’s call coming from the house.

“Father…Father!”

“Hey.” Lazy Sanniang’s father responded, thinking of picking out the herbs in the medicine basket and drying them first.

Lan Sanniang couldn’t wait in the room, and shouted loudly: “Dad, I’m hungry!”

“Hey, am I cooking?” After Lan Sanniang’s mother heard Lan Sanniang’s call, she walked out of the kitchen. He walked out, wiped his hands with his apron, came to his husband’s side, and sighed, “Old man, there is no more rice at home.”

“No more?” Baba wrinkled, God knows how much hunger the couple suffered in order to keep their daughter full.

The wife shook her head, and there were no tears in her eyes, and she answered helplessly: “It’s gone. Yesterday I asked Daniel to borrow some. No, it’s all over in one day.”

“Then…” The husband wrinkled . He frowned, the girl in the room was crying, what should he do about it, after thinking about it, he thought of the boss. “Why don’t I go to the boss’s place later and see if I can get some food back.”

“Yeah.” The wife nodded. It was the third time this month that she went to the old people to get food. The daughter-in-law’s face became more and more ugly, and she didn’t know where to put her old face.

Just as she was talking, Lan Sanniang walked out of the room weakly and yelled at the old couple: “Father, mother, are you trying to starve me to death?”

“Don’t worry . Mother, I’ll go take a look, the rice should be ready.” The old woman, who was over half a hundred years old, staggered and walked to the simple kitchen. When she lifted the lid of the pot and saw that there was only one bowl of rice in it. , Tears finally fell down. Wiping away her tears, she walked into her daughter’s room with the bowl of white rice in her hands that were as loose as pine bark. She didn’t have to lie, and she didn’t have to tell her daughter that she was full and not hungry like other loving mothers. Never asked.

In this way, the old couple was hungry again, and it was common to have no lunch. At the end of the day, the old couple couldn’t eat the meal of the daughter. For the third child’s dinner, the old man dried the herbs and walked to the village boss’s house. This distance is neither far nor near. The sun is so strong that the grass on the ground is wilted. Sweat poured down from his body, and after walking for half an hour, he came to the old master.
