Strange Tales of the Ghosts

When the eldest brother saw his father coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him: "Dad, why are you here in such a hot day?"

"Hey, daddy is here?" The daughter-in-law heard her son talking outside and walked out of the house. Seeing that the old man was sweating profusely from walking, the daughter-in-law quickly used a ladle to get some water and brought it to the old man. "Dad, drink some water first."

The old man didn't show any politeness. He drank heavily from the gourd in his hand. After drinking, he turned his head upside down. This was good. His stomach was bulging and he wasn't hungry anymore. The son hurriedly pulled his father into the house, and used his clothes to fan the old man from time to time, hoping to cool his father down. "Dad, sit inside."

"Yeah." The old man put his hands behind his back and sat down, frowning and saying nothing.

The boss looked at it and glanced at his wife. He knew that his father must be troubled by something, so he asked with concern: "Dad, what happened?"

"Why."

The daughter-in-law was also filial and called out sweetly: "Dad."

"Hey." The old man still sighed.

The boss and his wife stopped talking. After a while, the old man opened his mouth and said, "Boss, do you have any extra food at home?"

"Food..." The daughter-in-law hesitated and did not answer.

The son was also in a dilemma. He paused before replying: "Yes, yes, but not much."

"Then...can you give it to me evenly?" The old man looked at his son hopefully.

The daughter-in-law's face turned ugly. When she heard that she was borrowing food, she naturally felt bad. Besides, it wasn't just once or twice. How could she still be unclear about the situation at home? If it wasn't to stay away from that lazy Sanniang, why would she borrow money from her natal family to come to the village to build this house? So after thinking for a while, he answered very smartly: "Dad, no matter how much food our family has, as long as there is food for us, you will definitely be indispensable. If you are hungry, come to our house to eat."

"Yes, Dad, if you don't want to eat at home, you might as well come here. It would be nice to just move here. There are plenty of houses anyway." The son followed his wife's words and spoke from the bottom of his heart. , he is willing to respect the elderly, but he doesn't like the third sister.

The old man kept his mouth shut. Despite his age, he used his old face to come to his son and daughter-in-law's house to borrow some food and was rejected. This made him feel embarrassed. However, there was something more important than this. Yes, if she couldn't borrow food, then the third child would starve, so she said seriously: "I know what you mean, no matter what, she will always be your sister, right? Although she is a little lazy, at least You haven’t done anything bad, can you really bear it?”

"Dad, this is not a question of being patient or not. She doesn't mean not to do bad things. She doesn't do things at all." When the boss heard this, he got angry and remembered what happened when he was a child. He still remembered that there was a fire in his house that year. , Lazy Sanniang clearly saw with her own eyes where the small flame started to burn, and she could have put out the fire at that time, but who knew that the third child was motionless, and even gave random directions, causing the boss to fail to put out the fire, when the father and mother came from outside When he came back, he told his parents that the boss didn't put out the fire and was willing to watch the house burn. As a result, the boss was severely beaten by his father.

When the daughter-in-law saw that her husband was angry, her attitude became tougher and she said coldly: "Dad, when I married into this family, we agreed that we would live separately. At that time, I did not ask for any share of the property. Even this house was built with money I borrowed from my parents' family. I didn't bring any trouble to the family, and it was all about purity. You know, if Sanmei keeps struggling like this, no matter how big the family fortune is, she will eat up all the money. .”
