There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 697 It’s all pretending

 “Mom, who’s dead in the middle of the night?”

Zheng Xinyue felt that the cry was like a sob from a gagged mouth, and the hairs on the listeners' backs stood up with coldness.

Gao Guilan held her daughter in her arms all the way because she was afraid that she would be cold. She also heard the sound of someone crying through her nose. She frowned and saw that there was only one woman crying. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and raised her eyebrows.

"Who can cry alone when they die? I think that the pretender is here again. You can go home first while mom and dad catch this bastard."

 “Mom, I’m going too.”

Zheng Xinyue suddenly became excited, and she was eager to follow.

“Xinyue, you’d better not go, I’ll scare you again.”

Chen Sili rubbed her arms with both hands. She was so frightened by the cry that the hairs on her body stood up. When Xinyue wanted to follow her, she hurriedly tried to persuade her with a trembling voice.

“It’s all pretended by humans, where did the ghosts come from in this world?”

Gao Guilan was so bold that she didn't believe in evil at all, but after finishing speaking, she glanced at her daughter subconsciously.

How could she forget that her ancestor saved Xinyue? Isn't the ancestor a ghost?

“The people in our village have been frightened these days. Fortunately, Erbao took Xinyue’s medicine, otherwise the good young man would have been so frightened that his whole life would be ruined.”

Lao Suntou frowned at the side. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and deeply hated such people who pretended to be gods and ghosts.

“Xinyue, have you given Erbao medicine?”

Gao Guilan caught the sound of the words, looked at her daughter doubtfully and asked.

“It’s just an ordinary fright medicine. You bought it for me before. Cinnabar can calm the fright.”

Zheng Xinyue replied and gave her mother a gentle push. Only her mother and daughter knew about the ancestors. Gao Guilan immediately understood the hint to her daughter, and she cooperated quite well:

 “Ah! Yes, that medicine tube is scary.”

Zheng Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief. There were dark clouds in the sky, and there was a small whirlwind when the donkey cart approached the village entrance. The crying suddenly became louder, scaring Chen Sili so much that she screamed and covered her face.

"It's okay, it seems to be a cry coming from the granary. I'll go take a look."

Gao Guilan didn't wait for the donkey cart to stop, then jumped out of the car and ran towards the granary.

 “I’ll go take a look too.”

Lao Suntou grabbed the donkey and tied the cart to a big tree. He followed Gao Guilan with a whip and ran towards the granary. Zheng Xinyue ran over regardless of Chen Sili's pull.

 “My ankle!”

Chen Yonggui was so anxious that he only beat his legs. How could he explain to Dakui if his mother-in-law and Xinyue were in danger?

 Chen Sili was so scared that her upper and lower teeth chattered, but she still bravely jumped out of the car, even to protect Xinyue, so as not to make her future mother-in-law think that she was a timid person.

Zheng Xinyue chased her mother and Uncle Sun all the way to the granary. There was a torch outside the granary door, and Zheng Dashan was sitting on a stool watching the door! Listening to the crying inside, his brows were so furrowed that he could kill a fly.

 “Dashan, what’s going on?”

Gao Guilan was out of breath from running. When she saw the door was closed, she asked Zheng Dashan.

"Big brother just called everyone to a meeting today, and someone came to say that they saw a female ghost in the fields. Big brother took us to catch her. More than a dozen of us almost missed her. Didn't you see the thrill! I jumped into the river when I was about to catch her.”

Zheng Dashan stood up hurriedly when he saw Gao Guilan. He was too lonely alone and finally had someone come, so why don't you talk to him to the fullest? His narrative is rather verbose, wishing he could tell all the details of the arrest.

Gao Guilan waved her hand to stop him from saying any more useless things, and asked him directly who he had arrested?

“Don’t talk nonsense, just tell me who it is? Which brigade is it from?”
