Chapter 42 Conspiracy

Under the coercion and temptation of the third son of the Zhou family, Xiaofeng returned to the county town. No one knew what she did. She brought back more than 40,000 yuan in just two months. With the money she earned before, the Zhou family survived all the difficulties.

Xiaofeng kept getting money back to the Zhou family, but in just two years, the Zhou family renovated and built a cement house.

The Zhou brothers even bought a truck and started the transportation business.

The villagers saw it and were both envious and despised. They said on the surface that the third son of the Zhou family could marry a wife. When they turned around, they said that the third son of the Zhou family was a waste who relied on his wife's body to make a living.

When the freight business of the third brother of the Zhou family gradually stabilized, Xiaofeng returned to the village. The Zhou family told the public that she wanted her to come back to help the third brother with housework.

A year later, Zhou Zhen was born. The Zhou family brothers had taken over the freight business in Jintai Village and several nearby villages and towns. The Zhou family's third brother became a local celebrity.

Looking at Xiaofeng again, since she returned to the village, she has been haggard and weak at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After giving birth to Xiaofeng, he felt even more weak like a sick person. He coughed wherever he went, and sometimes he would fall on the spot.

When Zhou Zhen was three years old, Zhou’s father brought back a woman with a big belly. During that time, the Zhou family was in chaos every day, which can be said to be a joke for the whole village after dinner.

Despite the quarrel, the woman with a big belly finally gave birth to a fat boy, Zhou Ming, whom Xuan Ming later knew.

I don’t know if it was because of the trouble, or if I saw the other party giving birth to a son, I knew that the situation was going to go, but Xiaofeng became quiet, and sometimes even took the initiative to help take care of Zhou Ming. For a while, the story of the third son of the Zhou family having two daughters-in-law spread throughout the country, making the same-sex envious.

But no one expected that Xiaofeng would die on the day Zhou Ming held the first year of the year.

Drink pesticides and leave.

The Zhou family was so angry that she said she chose that day on purpose, just to get Zhou Ming's mold, so she refused to hold a funeral for her, but just found the cheapest coffin and buried it in the most remote place.

Xiaofeng's death seems to be as the Zhou family said. After defeating Zhou Ming's fate, Zhou Ming has become prone to illness and crying since he was one year old, and his overall development is obviously slow. He can't walk when he should walk, and can't speak when he should speak. After a long time, Grandma Zhou, who was already dissatisfied with Zhou Zhen, regarded her even more as a disaster star and vented all her resentment towards Xiaofeng on her. If there is any discomfort, it is either beaten or hungry.

On a stuffy summer night, when I was helping my younger brother take a bath, she accidentally dropped the soap on the ground, causing my younger brother to slip and fall. Zhou Zhen was beaten up by Grandma Zhou again.

In the middle of the night, Grandma Zhou got up to go to the bathroom and saw Zhou Zhen not sleeping but hiding beside the stairs to cry. She felt that this dead girl was deliberately trying to cry badly about the Zhou family's luck, so she went forward to fight again. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhen actually hid and cried even louder.

Because it was already late at night and was afraid that it would affect the sleep of the neighbors, Grandma Zhou had to return to the room angrily. Before going to bed, she told Grandpa Zhou that she was watching Zhou Zhen's dead girl and became more and more angry.

"If you don't want to raise it, then don't raise it anymore. That kind of star of mourning shouldn't be kept." I don't know if I was really confused when I was sleeping or the words I said in my heart, Grandpa Zhou, who has always been taciturn, quietly said this.

It is unknown whether the speaker is intentional or not, but the listener listened to the heart in a real way, and even sprouted, and finally became a vine in the heart, wrapping up all the reason and human nature of Grandma Zhou.

When the second rooster crowed, Grandma Zhou got up and woke up the third brother of the Zhou family and Zhou Ming's mother. She said with a firm attitude that she didn't want to see Zhou Zhen at this family again.

After a while of silence, Grandma Zhou said that she remembered that when she was young, she heard her mother say that when the rich landlords in the town didn't want to keep any maid, they would make nails on the other party's head, and then lied to the outside world that they had fallen to death by accident. Unless they encountered people like Bao Qingtian or Hai Rui, they usually fell to death after falling to death, no one would doubt it, let alone thoroughly investigate it.

After the three of them looked at each other for a few minutes, the third son of the Zhou family stood up and went out.

Not long after, he brought an iron hammer, a nylon hemp rope, and a steel nail that was ten centimeters long (the houses built in rural areas were used to fix beams or door posts.)

The three of them have a clear division of labor and work together at the same time.

Except for the parties involved, no one knows what kind of tragic scene it was, and he dare not imagine how cruel and ruthless it was.

After a while, Grandma Zhou shouted in panic.

Neighbors were awakened and rushed over.

With the glimmer of dawn, people saw the little girl Zhou Zhen fall head-on under the stairs, motionless, and a pile of blood scattered on the ground.

Grandma Zhou said with tears in her eyes that this dead girl, who is so big, actually got up in the middle of the night and would step on the steps when she urinated, and rolled down from the second floor, and hit the ground with her head.

Grandpa Zhou, who got up, scolded Zhou Zhen for not worrying, while asking his neighbors to help with cooking.

At that time, Jintai Village was a small village with a backward economy. The folk customs were more honest than now, and everyone had a shorter understanding. They usually had gossip about their parents and other people's family. But when they saw that Zhou Zhen's head and the ground she was lying on, no one thought much. They all listened to the Zhou family's words at the first time. This silly girl would even throw herself to death when she went down the stairs.

The Zhou family spent a lot of money to invite a famous Taoist priest in the local area to "do a way to save Zhou Zhen". After reading Zhou Zhen's birth date and asking about the cause of death, the Taoist priest looked furious and said that this little girl had just arrived in the world with a broom star, and now she died so frustrated, she would definitely feel resentful and would eventually affect her neighbors.

The Zhou family was "shocked" and hurriedly sought a solution.

The Taoist priest calculated with his fingers and said that there is only one method that can be broken, that is, to suppress evil with filth.

It means that when dealing with evil things like Zhou Zhen, you must find a dirty place to suppress his corpse.

Asked by the Zhou family and a group of neighbors, the Taoist priest pointed a whisk in his hand at the pigpen in the backyard of the Zhou family, saying that only by burying Zhou Zhen's bones under the pigpen can she be suppressed and thus prevent her soul from doing evil in the countryside.

People at that time were both kind and selfish. After looking at each other for a few glances, no one stood up to object.

Over time, someone even urged the Zhou family.

Finally, under the urging of the villagers, the Zhou family buried Zhou Zhen in tears and went down the pigpen in the backyard, and the light of day never came to light...

In this way, borrowing people's trust in the Taoist priest and using people's fear of evil spirits, an inhumane murder became a righteous act against evil spirits.
