Strange Tales of the Ghosts

The old woman did not expect that after this sleep, the old man would never wake up again. When she got up the next morning and called him, he was motionless and his body was stiff. Looking at her wife's body, the old woman burst into tears and shouted, "Why did you leave like this?" The tears did not stop. The poor life will become even more sad because of the old man's departure. , the old man is the only financial supporter of the family, and also the spiritual support of the old woman. There may not be the word love in life at that time, but ordinary people know better than some people what it means to help each other.

This sad cry woke up Lazy Sanniang. Lazy Sanniang came to her parents' house and was stunned when she saw her father lying motionless on the bed.

"Mom, what's wrong with dad?"

"Your father, your father..." the old woman choked and looked back at her daughter. "he's gone."

"Ah..." Lazy Sanniang didn't expect her father to die like this. Maybe she had never thought about such a problem. She never thought that the person who had been with her would one day leave her and go to another world. When dependence turned into helplessness, her iron heart would also feel pain, but she didn't cry after all. She didn't know why, it seemed like she was too lazy to cry.

However, Da Niu, who lived not far away, heard Lazy Sanniang’s mother’s cry and rushed over. He stood at the door and asked, “Auntie, uncle, what’s wrong?”

"Daniu, your uncle...is dead." When she said the words that her husband was dead, the old woman's body began to tremble.

Without Lansanniang's father, this family has lost its backbone. It is the hard-working young man Daniel who can handle things. After knowing that such a thing happened, he first found a few acquaintances in the village and went to pass the boss of Lansanniang's family respectively. and the second child, while I stayed at Lansan's mother's house to help with arrangements for the funeral. Although the world was not good, she always needed a white cloth shroud. It was Daniel who wiped the body of Lazy Sanniang’s father for the last time. Lazy Sanniang stood by and watched, as if it was none of her business. A person who is so lazy seems to have no humanity. At this moment, Even the lazy Sanniang began to doubt herself.

The eldest brother and the second child rushed over immediately after hearing the news of his father's death. Before they could reach the coffin, they heard crying from a distance. The second child almost staggered to his father's coffin and patted the coffin. Crying: "Dad, why did you leave so early? How can you bear it?"

"Dad, my son is unfilial and failed to see you off on your last journey." The boss fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, tears in his eyes.

When the eldest daughter-in-law saw this situation, her eyes were red, but she knew that she could not be more sad than her husband now. Now is the time when the family needed someone to take charge of the overall situation, so she first walked to the old woman's side and helped her mother-in-law up. Finally, she comforted her by saying, "Mom, don't be too sad. It's not good for your health."

"I...wuwu." The old woman felt so miserable that the man she had been with all her life died earlier than her, leaving her in this lonely and desolate world, asking her what to do in the future.

The daughter-in-law hurriedly wiped the old woman's tears and said coaxingly: "Mom, dad is a good man. Maybe he can find an official position below in the future. That would be a hundred times better than living a miserable life in this world."

People at that time were very superstitious and believed in ghosts from the underworld. Some people did not believe it, such as the old woman's eldest son, but the eldest son now had no time to expose his wife's white lies.
