“Sir, sir, please save .” Lin Yiwei was holding a hoe with his pants rolled up. It was obvious that he had just returned from the fields. On the way back, he was stopped by Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yiwei was about 60 years old. His skin was dark, and he seed to be in good spirits. His face was glowing red.
He had read so books when he was young, so he was recomnded by the villagers to be the village chief.
When Lin Yiwei saw Lin Laosan’s granddaughter kneeling in front of him, he also noticed the panic and fear on her face. Then, he thought of the rumors about this child. He imdiately realized that sothing must have happened.
He put down the hoe, bent down, and wanted to help Lin Yuelan up. He asked, “Xiao Lan, what happened? You have to get up first.”
At that mont, Lin Yuelan’s mind was filled with what her grandfather had said. He wanted to push her into the water tank and kill her.
Lin Yuelan did not get up. She only cried loudly, “Master, Master, please save . Grandfather wants my father to push into the water tank to drown . Master, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. Master, please save !”
Lin Weiyi was shocked and imdiately asked seriously, “Xiao Lan, get up. Tell , why does your grandfather want to drown you in the water tank?”
...
When Lin Sanniu heard his father, the corners of his mouth moved. There was so pleading in his eyes. However, when he saw his father’s serious face, he finally said, “Okay!”
Li Cuihua was very satisfied with Lin Sanniu’s obedience and said, “That’s right, San ‘Er. That wretched girl is a jinx. If she doesn’t die, Zong ‘Er won’t be able to beco a master scholar. Your fourth brother won’t be able to marry a wife. Your wife’s health won’t recover too.”
“Mother, this is bad. That wretched girl ran out!” Zhou Guixiang turned around to gloat when she realized that the girl was no longer at the corner.
“What?” Li Cuihua was shocked and then scolded, “You were supposed to watch over her! Hurry up and catch her. Don’t let her run away.” She was scolding Zhou Guixiang. Then, she shouted at the others in the courtyard, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and grab that wretched girl back.”
The others, including the children, ran out of the courtyard. They were going out to hunt for the jinx.
However, before any of them got far, they saw the village chief walking toward their house with a serious look on his face. Beside him was Lin Yuelan, whom they were going to look for.
She lowered her head and followed Lin Yiwei timidly. The closer they were to the Lin family, the more her feet dragged. She obviously didn’t want to return here.
Lin Yiwei patted the back of her hand and comforted her, “Child, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
The mont Li Cuihua saw Lin Yuelan, her anger rose from the bottom of her heart. She imdiately scolded Lin Yuelan, “You’re really a jinx. Instead of working, you ran away to slack off! Hurry up and wash those clothes!”
Li Cuihua’s furious shout imdiately scared Lin Yuelan into hiding behind Lin Yiwei.
Li Cuihua was even more furious when she saw this. She took a few big steps forward and stretched out her hand, wanting to pull Lin Yuelan out. She cursed loudly, “You wretched girl, how dare you disobey ? You even dare to hide! I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Li Cuihua moved around Lin Yiwei to drag Lin Yuelan out.
Lin Yuelan’s face turned white with fear. Her hands instinctively covered her ears. This was because Li Cuihua would twist Lin Yuelan’s ears every ti she was angry or just free.
