Wang Ergou’s parents are so mean. They treat Uncle Wang so badly.

　　”I went there at night, but didn’t see it.” Wang Xue murmured.

　　Even though they went there, they didn’t see anything. If Wang Ergou’s parents really loved their son, why didn’t they go to the fields and wait for him themselves?

　　The process dragged on and the noise never stopped. Uncle Wang lay on the kang, sideways, and let his parents-in-law cry and curse. During this time, his mother-in-law came in and asked him for money to hold the funeral.

　　”I have no money left, not a penny left, mother. Otherwise, Ergou wouldn’t have beaten Xiaotian and me. You were the one who paid for Xiaotian’s medicine.”

　　Wang Ergou’s mother started to curse, feeling so sad that she didn’t know who to curse, so she could only curse Wang Xue.

　　Unlucky, unlucky…

　　People from the outside village who came to help with the funeral shook their heads as they listened. Wang Ergou’s mother was too bullying. If it weren’t for Uncle Wang supporting this family over the years, this family would have been gambled away by Wang Ergou and lost everything.

　　”Xiaotian, why are you washing clothes here?” The village aunt saw him and asked. Oh, poor thing, there are still slap marks on Xiaotian’s face. If Uncle Wang had money, he would definitely give it to him and not let Wang Ergou touch Xiaotian.

　　It can be seen that it has been truly emptied out.

　　It was the old woman who said that all the money in the family was managed by Uncle Wang, and every time Wang Ergou asked for money, he would ask Uncle Wang for it. But, it turned out that the money was secretly saved. She didn’t farm in the fields or make tofu, so she had no income. She might have taken the money from Uncle Wang and saved it for herself.

　　Xiaotian: “My father went to visit my father last night, and he fell when he came back. His arm hurts, so I came to wash it.”

　　”You are so sensible and filial, good boy. Auntie will wash it for you.”

　　”Aunt, I’ve already washed it, but I just can’t wring it dry.”

　　”Your little arms and legs are too weak to twist it dry. Come here, Auntie will do it for you.”

　　…

　　The village held a funeral, and the body was kept for three days before being buried. During these three days, the villagers would talk about how Wang Ergou was killed by ghosts, or how Wang Ergou’s mother was mean to Uncle Wang, and how Uncle Wang was scolded for being sick. Everything about the Wang family, even the leak in the mourning hall and the rain falling on Wang Ergou’s tablet, could be used as a story.

　　It is said that Wang Ergou did evil things during his lifetime, and God did not want him to lie in peace in the mourning hall after his death. Otherwise, why did he die on the night of Qingming Festival? This person cannot be idle and beat his wife and children. God will not tolerate it.

　　Of course, the last sentence is often said by the women in the village. Every family has its own conflicts, and sometimes they quarrel and even fight. Of course, the one who got beaten will be unhappy, so she will give her husband a good scolding, telling him that if her man dares to touch her in the future, he should be careful of God.

　　Adding to the farce of Wang Ergou’s death was the fact that Tian demanded compensation from the Wang family.

　　Tian made a scene at Wang Ergou’s funeral hall and refused to leave unless she was compensated. She said that her paddy fields had been soaked by Wang Ergou all night and it was bad luck. Do you think it’s right for your son to soak in my fertile fields for nothing?

　　When Gu Zhao heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

　　This is not a hot spring bath.

　　”Did you give it to him in the end?” Li Zhouzhou asked Xingger.

　　Xing Ge’er clapped his legs happily and said, “It was given. Wang Ergou’s mother had to give it. The Zhang family said they would not leave if they didn’t give it. They cried for her family’s paddy field in the mourning hall. Tell me, is this mourning hall for Wang Ergou or for the Zhang family’s paddy field…”

　　”I gave her thirty coins to send her off.”

　　Although the money was little, it was good to have it. Tian not only took the money, but also stole some yellow paper and incense from the mourning hall, and burned it on the dead body of her paddy field, and lit incense, saying that the heavens should open their eyes and tell Wang Ergou that all the bad things were done, and that the ancestors of all places should eat the incense and return to the underworld.

　　After Tian finished her worship, Wang Ergou was buried the next day. Not only did the drizzle that had been falling for more than ten days finally stop, but the sun also came out, and the sunshine was particularly bright.

　　Now the villagers believed that Wang Ergou’s life was locked by the ghost ancestor who came back to visit during Qingming Festival.

　　Who made Wang Ergou so talkative? He curses everyone he sees. He must have offended someone.

　　When Wang Ergou’s mother said that Uncle Wang killed her son, no one in the village believed it. That’s bullshit. Your son must have offended an unclean person. If you keep saying such nonsense, be careful that someone will come to you in your dreams.

　　”…” Wang Ergou’s mother swallowed back the curse.
