Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 147

[Chapter 147 Lazy Sanniang (5)]

The son and his daughter-in-law talked righteously, but the old man took advantage of the situation and couldn’t argue, so he left with a sigh. After leaving the old family, the old man looked at the sun in the sky and said to himself, “It’s a sin.” After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the second child’s house.

The second child is married well, and her husband is a grocery seller. In Baihua Village, he is considered wealthy. It is said that when you marry a girl who goes out, the water splashed out, although the second child is married, it is fortunate that he has not forgotten his roots. Once he has money, he will still show some filial piety to the second elder, and the son-in-law will not say anything. The hope of the report is bigger than that of the old people.

When the girl saw her father coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, invited the old man into the house, and kept busy with tea and water. When the old man had drunk half a cup of tea, the girl sat down and asked with a smile, “Father, Why do you think of me today?”

“Hey.” The old man began to sigh, and looked at the second child’s house. Although it was simple, it was well organized. Of course, he knew that his daughter had been a clean-loving person since childhood. .

Seeing that her father didn’t speak, the daughter hurried into the kitchen, brought two big white steamed buns, put them in a bowl, and handed them to the old man, and said understandingly, “Father, there must be no time to eat at noon, this is The steamed buns I just made this morning, you will eat some.”

“…” The old man didn’t say anything, looked at the two big white steamed buns and drooled. He didn’t even care about drinking water. After a while, one steamed bun entered his stomach. Looking at the other steamed bun, he still wanted to eat it, but when he thought of his wife, he couldn’t eat it any more. The steamed buns are delicious, but I was in a hurry to eat them just now, and now I can’t eat them anymore.”

“If that’s the case, then Dad will take them home to eat later.” The second child replied with a smile.

The old man nodded. Seeing that his son-in-law was not at home, he asked, “Uncle went out to sell goods?

” I do, I go out before dawn, and come back after dark, and the goods still can’t be sold, and I don’t know if it’s the reason for the poor harvest in the past two years.”

“How could this be…” The old man began to feel uneasy in his heart. The drought the year before last and the flood last year caused so many people to suffer. The crops in the fields were not well harvested, and even fewer people saw a doctor. He couldn’t get the money, and even his herbs were not easy to sell. The poor’s life was always getting poorer and poorer, and the last meal was not the next. , the idea of borrowing food from the second family was sullen in his heart, and he couldn’t say it.

The niece seemed to see the old man’s worry and comforted: “Dad, don’t worry, this is just a year or two, I believe it will be good in the future, although the business is not good now, but there is still a stutter.

” Mmmm.” The old man nodded quickly, the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, the third child was his own daughter, and the second child was also his daughter, there was no reason to force his daughter to death, so he no longer mentioned the situation at home and Borrowing food, after saying a few words of concern, he left the second child’s house.

After leaving the second child’s house, the old man dangled around the village, looking at the owner and the western family, trying to see which one could borrow some food for him.
