Chapter 18 Blessing

  Thinking that Mrs. Sun cooks porridge every day, as long as the rice is cooked, it will not look the same.

  So, Yu Xiaolian decided to cook the porridge every day before Sun's cooking, and try not to let Sun's touch the rice bag.

  In the evening, Yu Xiaolian rummaged through the medicinal materials. Before Mrs. Sun came back, she cooked the porridge and boiled three duck eggs and all the quail eggs.

  Yu Xiaolian finished cooking and returned to the front yard, and saw Yu Changfu politely inviting Goddess Hao into their room.

  Why is Goddess Hao here? Yu Xiaolian was curious, so she ran to ask Yu Changhe who was weaving baskets.

   "It seems that Zishu is going to take an exam, and your aunt wants to ask Mrs. Hao to help."

   Ah, it means praying for blessings!

  Yu Xiaolian didn't expect them to be so superstitious that they even had to spend money to find a witch for help in the exam.

  If the sorceress really works, it is estimated that the streets are full of champions, who is still diligently farming?

   Thinking that Mrs. Sun didn't come back, Yu Xiaolian squatted beside Yu Changhe, helping him sort out willow sticks of similar size and length, and plucked off the willow leaves by the way.

   While he was masturbating, suddenly a basin of water mixed with talisman paper ash was poured down his head.

  Yu Xiaolian was furious, and when she looked back, she saw Yu Ziyi was holding an empty tub, and shouted angrily, "Yu Ziyi, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Yu Xiaolian was drenched, Yu Ziyi didn't think it was wrong, but said triumphantly, "Sister Hao said that this talisman water can ward off evil spirits and can restrain all ominous things in the house. Let me sprinkle some on every corner of the house." I saw you as soon as I came out, and I feel that the biggest ominous thing in the family is you, a dead girl, of course I have to help you wash it from head to toe, so as not to hinder my brother's entrance examination."

   "If your brother doesn't pass the Tongsheng exam, it's because he's incompetent, so what's none of my business? I think your family is crazy."

"To tell you the truth, my mother paid someone to burn the talisman water, and it was for you. The third uncle failed to pass the examination last year as a scholar, and it was you who gave it to him. If my brother fails to pass the examination this time, don't you think it's okay?" throw you out."

  Yu Xiaolian didn't expect that Yu Ziyi, a scholar who had just returned from school, would also be superstitious about this, and he didn't see at all that he looked educated.

  The books are all read in the dog's belly, right?

  Yu Xiaolian knew that the current stability of their family was only short-lived. When Yu Changyu was about to marry a wife, Mrs. Yu would drive Yu Changhe's family out on the grounds that they didn't have a house.

It seems that she should have made a plan earlier. After all, when their family was kicked out, it was a severe winter and they had nowhere to go, so they had no choice but to go to Sun's natal family in a neighboring village, but Sun's natal sister-in-law was very kind to them. Don't wait, they have been living under the fence for several months before Yu Changhe spent a lot of effort to build a small thatched cottage.

   "Ah, it's all poured on Xiao Lian alone. Didn't I tell you to dip it in willow sticks and sprinkle it in the four corners? Why didn't you do it, kid?" Mistress Hao came out and accused Yu Ziyi.

"Then... will this prayer not work anymore?" Mrs. Cao looked at Goddess Hao, "Auntie, can you burn some more talisman water? I will sprinkle it on the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and I will do it. I don't need this child." .This kid is frizzy at work, and it's all on Xiao Lian."

  Looking at Yu Xiaolian again, "Xiao Lian, brother Ziyi didn't do it on purpose, you go into the room and change your clothes!"

  Yu Xiaolian was speechless, just now Yu Ziyi said that he did it on purpose, so it's interesting to do this now?

  Thinking that Yu Zishu was admitted to Tongsheng, she became angry.

Yu Changhe escorted Yu Xiaolian into the house, "Lian'er, we don't care about them, our Lian'er is not a nemesis, the night Dad picked you up, there was a luminous jade pendant next to your head, shining on it That little face of yours is white and jade-like, like a fairy boy."

  Yu Xiaolian was changing clothes in the back room, while Yu Changhe was guarding the door, and continued, "It's just a pity that the jade pendant was snatched away by the **** Pan family. It's all my father's fault..."

  Yu Xiaolian changed her clothes in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled out the curtain, "Father, the reason why the Pan family discounted your leg was because of that jade pendant, right?"

  Yu Changhe nodded, recalling that a few months ago, Pan Jinrong, the young master of the Pan family, knew from nowhere that he had a luminous jade pendant in his hand.

  Pan Jinrong approached him and expressed that he wanted the jade pendant, but Yu Changhe refused.

  This jade pendant may be a token left by Yu Xiaolian's biological parents, how could he give it away.

  In order to get the jade pendant, Pan Jinrong used both soft and hard tactics. One night, Pan Jinrong was drunk, and in a fit of anger, he led someone to break Yu Changhe's leg, and threatened that if he could not see the jade pendant tomorrow, he would have someone kill Yu Changhe's family.

  After Zhao Kuo sent Yu Changhe home, he tried hard to persuade Yu Changhe to recognize the situation and stop fighting against that bully Pan Jinrong.

  Yu Changhe's broken leg was in unbearable pain, thinking that his family might be destroyed because of a piece of jade pendant, Yu Changhe finally handed over the jade pendant.

   "Father, who knows about this jade pendant?"

"When I picked you up, besides the jade pendant, you also had a gold ingot on your body. I gave the gold ingot to your grandma, and I kept the jade pendant. Except for our family members who knew about this , and your Uncle Zhao knew about it. However, it is impossible for your Uncle Zhao to tell Pan Jinrong about this matter. It may be that your uncle and your third uncle were in the village. They boasted about the jade pendant and were heard by those who cared .”

  Yu Xiaolian sighed, she is such a stupid father, she still treats Zhao Kuo as a good brother, it is estimated that after a while, the news of Zhao Kuo's promotion and salary increase should be spread back to the village.

  Even if she told Yu Changhe that Zhao Kuo betrayed him, without conclusive evidence, Yu Changhe would not believe her.

   Mrs. Sun was holding an embroidery basket for embroidery. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Mrs. Cao flicking eastward and westward with talisman water. The whole yard smelled of paper ashes from burnt talisman paper.

   "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

   "Our Zishu is about to take an exam. Today, I invited Goddess Hao to come to my house to pray for blessings. This is the talisman water that Goddess Hao burned, and it works."

   "Didn't my sister-in-law yell at Goddess Hao before? Why are you willing to spend money to ask her to pray for blessings?"

   "I can't help it, she's the only 'caretaker' in these ten miles and eight villages.

   Besides, your little pity was also rescued by her, no matter how clever she is, she still knows more than us laymen. Let me tell you, Brother Kuang's death day is coming soon, so you have to find her to see if Brother Kuang has been reincarnated? "

   Mrs. Cao said, and poured the last bit of talisman water in the basin at Mrs. Sun's feet, "After all, I've been your son once, and you have to take care of him. Alas, it's hard for a lonely ghost to be alone!"

   After Cao finished speaking, she took the tub and left.

   Mrs. Sun stood there steadfastly, her face pale, and it took a while before she came back to her senses.
