The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 392 The wronged soul demands his life

"Old lady, Jinshui is almost starving to death, and this is your family affair. If someone dies, aren't you afraid that the ghosts will come to claim your life in the future?"

The old lady fears this the most. When she was young, she was reckless and fearless, and never thought about retribution. Now that she is old, she likes to go to the fortune teller whenever she has something to do. She does shameful things while still asking for peace of mind.

Ever since my leg was broken and I haven't gotten out of bed, I feel like everything is going wrong and there are always people bothering me. My usually well-behaved granddaughter also jumped out today and said some nasty words. Is this really retribution?

I will wait until the flood is over and then go see a fortune teller. However, I have heard of such things as wronged ghosts seeking revenge before, but I just thought they were stories. They can't really happen. They must be scams.

It was no use comforting myself like this. My heart was still beating fast. I couldn't help but glance at Jinshui a few times. The child was incredibly thin, and his hair was like lifeless dead grass lying on the ground in autumn.

What if I really starve to death...

Forget it, how much can a little girl eat? She has to do so much work. Just eat it.

If this little body fails to survive the epidemic and harbors resentment towards me, just as they said, and becomes a wronged ghost and comes to visit me, it would be really troublesome.

The old lady waved at the two of them.

"Jinshui, come back. Grandma won't scold you anymore."

"Second brother, you come back too."

Jinshui just stood there in a daze. How could grandma say such a thing? He stopped cursing and thought she was trying to trick him into going back and getting beaten up.

The second son had never seen his mother like this. If someone disobeyed her, she would scold them and then beat them up. Although she would not do it herself, there were always people who could order them around.

The second child didn't care. Not letting him beat the child would save him energy and he wouldn't be looked down upon here.

Jinshui was still a little afraid. Grandma seemed like a different person. The tone of her voice was not as aggressive as before. It even sounded a bit like she was talking to Fugui. He didn't know what she was planning.

The uncles and aunts who were helping Jinshui were also a little puzzled. The old lady was acting strange today. They all looked over there, but couldn't seem to find the answer on her face.

He walked towards grandma tremblingly, looking back every few steps.

His head was slightly lowered and shrunk into his neck, and his hands were twisted there in a state of helplessness, as if he had just done something wrong.

I heard the aunt behind me say, "If the old lady causes you trouble, we will definitely seek justice for you."

Jinshui straightened his back. He didn't do anything wrong, but he was used to being bullied by grandma and was a little afraid.

I raised my head and placed my hands on both sides of my body. Although the movements were a little stiff and I wasn't quite used to them, they would get better over time.

I will never humble myself in front of her again. Not only have I done nothing wrong, but I am also the one who does the most work at home. If she doesn't give me food, it's my grandmother's fault.

I kept repeating these words to myself in my mind, and my walking became smoother and less stiff than before.

The old lady saw that Jinshui had a different feeling than at the beginning. She no longer felt timid and hesitant, but now she relaxed, as if she had gained confidence from nowhere.

She looks somewhat similar to Ni'er, after all, they are sisters.

The old lady felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it because of what those people said.

Before, I always thought it was a waste for girls to eat, so I wanted to sell Jinshui and Xiuli for a good price, and let them succeed on their own in the future.

But after hearing what those people said today, I don’t want to sell it anymore.

Jinshui and Xiuli are very good at doing housework, and are more diligent than the eldest and second oldest children. Without them, the wild vegetables we usually eat would not be available. I don't want to tire Fugui and Manguan out.

Cheap girls are easy to raise. Just give them something to eat in the future. When they grow up, they will be able to do more work. It is cost-effective. You should use them hard before they get married, so as not to waste the food.

From now on, as long as they don't make mistakes, they won't be beaten or scolded. Working hard is better than anything else.

The two girls can catch up with an old cow.

The old lady looked at Jinshui with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Jinshui felt goose bumps all over his body. He had never seen grandma like this before. He might as well beat himself up. He felt creepy inside. It was really uglier to laugh than to cry.

I walked up to the old lady and called out, "Grandma~"

The old lady smiled wryly and looked Jinshui up and down, "Alright, I won't say anything to you anymore, just eat if you want."

Jinshui thought the old lady was going to say a few words to mock him, but she didn't say a word, which made him a little confused.

Since I didn't get scolded, I felt a little relieved.

Jinshui knew the old lady's character very well. She was vindictive. Just because she didn't get angry with him today didn't mean she wouldn't get angry in the future. Even if she didn't get angry, she might still do something bad to him in other ways. No one was more vindictive than her.

It would be better to lose my temper. Now I am so nervous that I have to be careful about everything.

Stay away from her during this period of time. When you return home, try to stay outside every day to avoid being annoyed by looking at her face. She probably doesn't want to see you either.

When I find the opportunity, I will leave home and stay with the old lady. Maybe I will live a few years less.

When the uncles and aunts saw that the old lady did not scold Jinshui, they turned their heads back and whispered about the matter.

The old lady knew they were talking about her and her ears felt a little hot, but she was too lazy to pay attention to them. She had finally come down the mountain and eaten, and she felt a little sleepy. It was time for a good sleep.

It was really impossible to sleep in the mountains. I was afraid of snakes and wolves, and there were a lot of insects. The wind was cold and hard, and the tattered quilt didn't keep me warm at all. I couldn't sleep well and was always half asleep and half awake.

It's okay now, I can sleep peacefully.

The group went to look for tents, but there were no big ones, only small ones, and they didn't look like they were big enough.

I have never used a tent in the mountains, so I'm going to try it this time. That little bitch Ni'er is using such a good thing, so as her grandmother, I deserve to enjoy it too.

The old lady's family was only allocated one tent, and there was no way so many people could all live in it, so the question of who would live in it became a problem.

The old lady was dissatisfied with the decision. With so many people in her family, why could there only be one tent? There should be at least two. Whether others had enough to live in or not had nothing to do with her. Anyway, she had to enjoy the benefits herself and let others suffer.

However, she was too embarrassed to talk to the busy yamen runners, and she didn't dare to. She thought of asking the eldest or second son to ask if they could get another roof so that everyone in the family could have room to live.

The eldest and second in command were also cowardly and didn't dare to tell the bailiff about this matter.
