On the afternoon when Gou went to beg his parents-in-law, Dani, the village widow, came to the door. By the time Dagny married into her husband's family, her parents-in-law had already died. Only she and her husband, Liu Gang, lived together. However, after two years, Liu Gang became seriously ill.
Dagny didn't have any money to spare. She went to borrow money for Liu Gang's illness, but Liu Gang had no parents, no brothers, and a big sister still married into a distant village, so there was no contact between them. In addition, the amount of silver borrowed was not a small sum, even the villagers were unable to afford it. In the end, Dagny was unable to borrow any money, and Liu Gang also died from an illness.
Because of Dagny's body, she and Liu Gang had been married for three years and had no children. After Liu Gang died of illness, she lived in seclusion. She was depressed all day, and almost no one had ever moved to her home. However, that day, she went to Little Gou's house.
Little Gou had been married to the village of Xitang for several years and had no dealings with Dany. She was a little surprised at first when she saw that Dagny had come looking for her, but what was even more surprising was that Dagny looked at Gou's stomach and smiled darkly.
Zhang Qingrui's smile made all the hair on her body stand on end as she broke out in a cold sweat. She looked like a ghost that had crawled out of hell; it was very frightening.
Little Gou had been pregnant for seven months and was scared stiff by Dagny's laughter. She subconsciously used her hands to protect her stomach and asked her why she was here. Her voice was a little shaky, but it was also a little unfriendly. Little Gou's temper had always been bad, but because of her husband's situation, she had no choice but to endure. However, she was not so good to Dagny.
Dagny's eyes were fixed on the little Gou family's belly as she giggled. It wasn't until Gou Hanshi was on guard for a while that she finally revealed the reason for her visit.
Little Gou was stunned!
She had not expected that Dagny was doing it for her unborn child.
Old Man Li promised to let Little Gou keep the baby when she gave birth, regardless of whether it was male or female. Moreover, Old Man Li wanted to bring her to the Li family to be his concubine.
Regardless of what Old Man Li was going to use to support this large family, his promise to Dagny was too shocking and chilling. No matter which mother it was, how could they bear to give up their child to someone else unless they were forced to? Furthermore, the person who raised the child had to live with her. It was simply unbearable!
After Little Gou's mind returned to normal, he acted like he had gone mad. He cursed at the top of his lungs and rushed towards Dagny, beating and kicking her without a care for her life. But Dagny did not fight back. She endured her beatings and reached out to touch Gou's stomach.
The two of them went inside the courtyard crying and bickering. Grandma Zhang had long heard the whole story from the other side. Seeing that Little Gou had gone mad, she couldn't help but curse in her heart that Old Li wasn't a person. It had to be known that with a body like this for more than seven months, it was a small matter to stir up some fetal energy. If someone died, it would be a huge matter. Everything was just as Grandma Zhang had thought. Little Gou was not only infuriated, but he was also born prematurely!
When the neighbors got the news, they all came to help out, asking for the midwives, boiling water, and finding Old Man Li …
Little Gou was furious, his stomach hurt, and he cursed Old Li in the delivery room. Old Man Li found out that Little Gou had returned home prematurely, but he wasn't in a hurry nor did he seem worried. Instead, he dragged Dagny to the side to whisper in her ear.
Little Gou was hard to deal with. In order to protect the three of them, the midwife was exhausted from working in the delivery room, but in the end, the two of them were able to keep their lives. The child hadn't even been a month old and was somewhat small, but he hadn't noticed anything else. He was the Li Jun who had died later on. Little Gou was tired for an entire afternoon, and also fell into a deep slumber.
But when she woke up again, the village was in an uproar, for no other reason than that Dagny had hanged herself in the woods.
Dagny was dead!
In less than five hours of the night, the woman who had been harboring thoughts on her child was dead. When Little Gou heard this news, she didn't speak for a long time.
Without Dagny to snatch the child, the little Gou family also became quiet.
Zhang Qingrui was hanging from a tree, and the people in the village blamed Old Man Li for her death. It was because on the day of Little Gou's production, Old Man Li and Dagny had whispered to each other. Although no one knew what the two of them said, in the end, it was Dagny who died. Who could he blame for this? He must have said something to someone to make her feel like hanging herself.
After the story had been spreading around the village for more than ten days, the gossip gradually dispersed. However, someone had spotted a white shadow floating on a tree near the red fruit grove. The white shadow's face was similar to Dagny's, floating on the tree. After the description, those who went down the mountain carrying Dagny's body said that the tree was the one Dagny had hanged herself from. When Dagny died, she wore white clothes.
Thus, the rumors became even more bizarre. Dagny was unwilling to give up now that she had died. She had come back to seek for Old Man Li's life.
Old Man Li already felt guilty towards Dagny. He was scared when he heard that there was a ghost in the red fruit forest. When he fell, his family would be supported by his parents. They would take care of him, take care of Little Gou Clan, and take care of his family's children. The relationship between his eldest brother's wife and his parents had also completely broken off.
In the end, the Li family's parents had no choice but to move in with Old Man Li's family.
However, ever since Dagny died, Old Man Li had also gotten sick. When he recovered, his entire person had changed. Not only did he become more diligent, the most important thing was that he had always been controlled by Little Gou. After his parents died, the little Gou family became part of the family, and even more so, it was going to be Old Man Li's responsibility.
Thus, the person in charge of the Li family was Old Lady Li, not Old Man Li!
This matter was considered the embarrassment of the Li family. Old Lady Li and Old Man Li had never mentioned it. Just the villagers. After so many years, most of them couldn't remember anything.
As time passed, this matter would also be forgotten by the people of the world.
When Wenxiu and Song Xiaoyue heard this, they were astonished. They never imagined that Old Man Li would be so amicable in his youth. However, he also understood one thing. Li Lu's temperament was completely inherited.
"Xiao Yue, you told me not to go to the forest last time because you knew about the ghost?"
Song Xiaoyue nodded and admitted it when she saw Wenxiu asking her, "Yes, I also heard it from my mother-in-law. It's just that I never knew that there were so many stories behind the incident of the ghosts. "
"Now you know?" Mrs Zhang said, smiling as she added more potato chips onto the millstone before she continued to understand. "Luckily, no one eats the red fruits there, otherwise, Dagny's ghosts would have been reincarnated long ago."
