Demonic Cultivation in a Mountain Village

After a brief exchange of greetings with the villagers, Fang Lin's family of four arrived outside Wang Gandong's home.

There are two sets of courtyards separated by a low wall. On one side is Wang Gan's east house and on the other side is Wang Gan's west house.

In Wang Gandong's house, there was a rural woman in her fifties who was feeding pigs with a basin next to the pigsty. When she saw Wang Xiu'e and her family coming, her smiling face suddenly changed.

The woman had a sullen face and showed no intention of welcoming her. She asked unceremoniously: "Why are you here? What's the matter with you coming here this time?"

This woman's name is Zhang Yueying, and she is Fang Lin's aunt.

Wang Xiu'e glanced at Zhang Yueying and couldn't help but think of what Zhang Yueying said when she came here to borrow money for Fang Lin's tuition.

"Your little ones are so precious. If you don't have any money, why don't you settle down and support them in going to college?"

"I'm borrowing money from your family. I might as well use the money to buy more feed, give our pigs more food, and kill a few more kilograms of pork for the Chinese New Year."

"Go, go, go! I can't even lend you a penny."

There was also Zhang Yueying's cynicism when she paid New Year's greetings to Wang Fen and Li Fengxi.

"You come to pay New Year's greetings, and it's obvious that you're here to eat and drink. Let me tell you, there are only so many dumplings to make this year. Just take care of your mouths and give me less."

"My son Wang Mao married a wife at the age of nineteen. I don't think your Fang Lin will ever be able to marry a wife. He will be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Your Fang family will have to cut off their relationship sooner or later."

Those scenes from the past appeared in her mind. Faced with Zhang Yueying's cold attitude, Wang Xiu'e couldn't get close to her. She said in a neutral tone: "Let's just come and see my mother. After watching, we will leave."

Zhang Yueying said angrily: "What's there to see?

I don’t usually see you buying your parents some food, drink, or giving them some money to spend.

What’s the point of coming to see it when the crowd is almost gone?

Why, are you afraid that you will be unfilial and gossiped about by others?

It's okay, don't worry, no one will say anything to you.

Let me see, you'd better go back quickly.

You've been here for a long time, and I still have to take care of your food.

I have a very busy day, and I have to feed pigs, so I don't have time to care about you, don't worry.

Wang Xiu'e's brows jumped in anger, and she said in a deep voice: "I came to see my mother, what does it have to do with you? Don't worry, we won't eat a grain of rice from your house!"

Fang Baoguo and Fang Tianai both frowned and looked unhappy.

Fang Lin smiled but didn't take Zhang Yueying's words seriously.

He held the box of vegetables and said, "Auntie, we just came to see grandma, and we won't bother you for too long.

I came in a hurry and didn’t bring anything with me. These are fresh vegetables grown in our village. I’ll bring them to you to try. "

Zhang Yueying looked nonchalant and said coldly: "Is it necessary to go back and forth to get vegetables? Isn't our Wangjiazhuang's harvest better than your Fenghuang Village's?

Even if you bring it, no one will eat it. If you feed it to the pigs, we are afraid that the pigs will dislike it. "

Zhang Yueying originally saw the box in Fang Lin's hand, her eyes flashed, and she was more or less expecting it, but when she heard Fang Lin actually said that it was just some vegetables, she suddenly became disgusted.

Rural people don’t lack anything but food, right?

Fang Baoguo was an honest man and tried to explain: "Sister-in-law, this vegetable in our village is so beautiful and delicious that it is almost sold abroad."

"Look at how good you are, it's almost sold abroad."

Zhang Yueying had a dark face and pointed to the pig pen in the corner inside the gate.

, said: "Just put it in front of the pig pen. I will feed the pigs in the afternoon."

After saying that, he turned his head and went back alone.

Wang Xiu'e snorted and said: "Xiao Lin, throw the vegetables in the yard, whether they like it or not. Let's take a look at your grandma and go back if nothing happens."

Fang Lin shook his head and smiled, and placed the vegetable box in the yard. Fang Baoguo also took advantage of the situation and put the vegetable box for Wang Ganxi together.

Zhang Yueying went to the south room to work in the kitchen and ignored the family.

They didn't ask for trouble and walked directly to the house in the north row where their grandfather Wang Fen and grandma Li Fengxi lived.

Opening the door curtain, there was actually a gathering inside. Almost all the Wang family were here.

Grandpa Wang Fen was sitting cross-legged on the bed, still looking as old as he remembered, wearing a dark blue shabby Chinese tunic suit, his half-white hair was a little messy, and the wrinkles on his face were like old tree bark.

He sat cross-legged and smoked cigarettes as always. The house was filled with the strange smell of firewood and cigarettes.

Sitting or standing on the ground were my uncle Wang Gandong, my second uncle Wang Ganxi, my aunt Wang Xiumei, and my uncle Niu Zhuangzhuang.

As for grandma Li Fengxi, who Fang Lin and the others came here to see, she was covered with a thick quilt and lying by the corner wall of the bed. She could not see her face clearly from the doorway.

Seeing Wang Xiu'e's family walking in, Wang Fen and others were stunned, as if they didn't expect why they would come here.

Wang Fen raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you here?"

With that said, Wang Fen turned to look at Wang Gandong and asked, "Did you call them too?"

Wang Gandong frowned and shook his head: "No, I only told Xiumei and the others."

Wang Ganxi stood up and said, "I asked eldest sister and the others to come over and see my mother."

\u003e Li Fengxi didn’t suffer from any illness, but this year, it seemed that her end was approaching and her health was getting worse.

Especially during the recent period, my eyesight has been dim and I have spent almost all of it in bed.

During the day yesterday, Wang Fen saw something was wrong with Li Fengxi, so he called the barefoot doctor in the village to take a look.

The doctor pointed his finger at Wang Fen and the others and said clearly that Li Fengxi would die in three to five days at most.

Yesterday afternoon, Wang Fen asked Wang Gandong to contact his youngest daughter Wang Xiumei and asked Wang Xiumei's family to come over and see Li Fengxi as soon as possible.

As for Wang Xiu'e's family, they were directly ignored by Wang Fen.

Still this morning, Wang Ganxi thought about it and felt something was wrong, so he called Wang Xiu'e and asked her to come back and take a look.

Therefore, except for Wang Ganxi, all of them were unaware of the arrival of Fang Lin's family and seemed extremely shocked.

Wang Xiu'e returned to her parents' home four years ago because she couldn't borrow the tuition fee she borrowed from Fang Lin. In the past few years, she didn't even come to pay her respects during the Chinese New Year.

Unexpectedly, this time Li Fengxi’s deadline was approaching, and they would come here to see her off?

Wang Fen banged the cigarette pot on the bedrail twice and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here? Even if your mother dies, she will be taken to her grave and buried. The Wang family does not welcome you."

Wang Xiu'e said with a dark face: "We are here to see my mother, it has nothing to do with you."

"Hey!" Wang Fen blew his beard and glared, saying angrily: "What do you mean?"

Fang Baoguo pulled Wang Xiu'e and said, "Dad, we have come all the way here, why don't we take a look at the child's grandma?"

Li Fengxi, who was lying on the bed, raised her head from the pillow with difficulty, looked at the door with cloudy eyes, and said in a low voice: "Let my eldest daughter come... let them come."
