After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

4This is a disease and needs to be treated

A carpenter looked up by chance and saw Xiao Wei leaning against the door frame. He was stunned for two seconds and suddenly shouted "Ghost!" He threw away the plane in his hand and fell out in panic.

Screams continued to be heard, and people dropped their tools and jumped out of the drying yard.

The knowledgeable Carpenter Li changed his expression and ran faster than his apprentices.

The flower in everyone's mouth suddenly turned into a ghost. Xiao Wei sneered, as if to say: Surprised? Unexpected?

Datou was not very smart and his reaction was slow. The master and his brother had already run to the drying yard, but he didn't put down the saw in his hand. He kept operating the saw, staring at Xiaowei for several seconds, and calmly squeezed out a sentence: "Xiaowei, Xiaowei is alive."

Xiao Wei glanced at him with pity, feeling extremely depressed. In her previous life, she had thought that Datou was bold and careful, and could not be startled by the sudden change because of his calmness at that moment, so she had a good impression of him. After several twists and turns, she actually married him. She had never expected that he was just stupid and slow, a complete loser.

Later, due to the conservative oppression in their hometown, the whole family could no longer stay there, so they responded to the call and moved to the reed marsh forty miles away to reclaim wasteland.

With Datou's reminder, the confused grandfather turned around with his pipe in hand and looked at Xiaowei twice. His expression was calm, but there was no joy on his face. He asked in a deep voice: Xiaowei, is that you?

Xiao Wei did not answer. His eyes were like a sharp blade, cutting coldly at his grandfather, who always said that he was a jinx, as if he wanted to cut his old skin into pieces.

My grandfather felt frightened by being stared at. He gripped his cane tightly and tried hard to stand up from the stool, but he failed. It was obvious that he was also afraid of ghosts.

Xiao Wei watched silently like a clown, seeing the panic on the field, with contempt written all over his face. It turned out that these good people were also afraid of ghosts.

A figure flashed, and a young woman in ragged clothes and an apron came over. She called out "Xiao Wei" tremblingly, opened her dirty arms and hugged her, choking with sobs: "You're awake, it's good that you're awake, good."

She was the only sister-in-law in the family who was kind to Xiao Wei. When she saw Xiao Wei waking up, she was so happy that she hugged Xiao Wei's thin body tightly, and her tears fell on Xiao Wei's head.

Xiao Wei was very surprised that the timid and cowardly sister-in-law was not afraid of ghosts, but he said nothing.

Or rather, it was the eldest sister-in-law who didn't give Xiao Wei a chance to speak, and helped her to the west kitchen, causing panic among the busy people in the kitchen, including her mother and a neighbor's cousin who was helping.

The sister-in-law didn't care at all. She pushed Xiao Wei to sit on a small stool by the door, scooped a bowl of hot water from the pot on the stove, and then filled it with rice and dishes.

Xiao Wei drank half a bowl of water in one breath, and ate half a bowl of braised pork, half a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, and two large bowls of carrot rice.

He did not respond to anyone's questions. After eating, he went to his eldest brother's three thatched houses, lay down on the small bed in the west room, and fell asleep on his side facing the back wall.

At lunch time, the onlookers gradually dispersed. Xiao Wei sat up gently, looked around, and sighed that it would be difficult to hang himself in such a shabby thatched house.

A piece of information spread quickly, saying that Xiao Wei escaped death, but his brain was burned, and he was not only stupid, but also mute.

Perhaps due to this factor, no one showed joy about Xiaowei's awakening, and some even felt that Xiaowei should not have woken up, except the eldest sister-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law's joy was also very restrained. She was the first to conclude that Xiao Wei's brain and voice were burned and he had become a disabled person.

People from the village came to visit one after another, but they only stopped at the thatched door of the west room, took a look and then left.

"Xiao Wei is stupid. Stupid people will go crazy, and when they go crazy they will bite people."

I heard people gossiping outside the house, the voices were very loud. Although the fool was dangerous, he could not understand human language, so he talked without restraint. On the one hand, he was surprised that Xiao Wei had escaped death, and on the other hand, he lamented that Xiao Wei had become disabled, and his tone was full of gloating.

"A good marriage is definitely ruined now. It's better to die."

The regret in the mother's tone was beyond words, and she quickly put the blame on the grandfather: "It's all the fault of the old man. He always said that Xiaowei was a money-loser, how come it worked so well?"

The neighbor consoled him, saying, "Village Chief Wang's family will definitely cancel the engagement. The engagement gift and the six yuan gift money do not need to be returned. This is not a loss."

Someone retorted: "If Xiao Wei is fine and marries into the family of Village Chief Wang, it will be such a good marriage, and the Ye family will also benefit from it. How can it not be a loss?"

Everyone was arguing unscrupulously. Although the son of Village Chief Wang had bad behavior and was rumored to have raped several women, the Wang family was a well-known family in the area and would not marry a loser.

Everyone said that the cancellation of the engagement was inevitable, and the key point was whether the gifts and betrothal money should be returned. If they were not returned at all, Village Chief Wang would not make it difficult for them. However, they would definitely be unwilling to see the engagement money go down the drain, and they would probably be resentful and would inevitably vent it on the Shen family.

The people in the village obviously didn't want the Shen family to get the engagement gift for nothing, so they explained the various interests involved and finally reached a consensus that if the Wang family proposed to cancel the engagement, they would have to return some money.

"If the Wang family really wants to cancel the engagement, we won't give them a penny."

Xiao Wei's mother rejected everyone's proposal outright and made the final decision with gritted teeth.

Fang Lin insisted: "If Xiao Wei dies, no one will give a shit unless the wedding is cancelled. We should discuss this matter carefully."

The meaning is very clear. Xiaowei is not to blame for this, but Xiaowei's awakening makes the matter more difficult.

Xiao Wei shouldn't be alive.

The quarrel lasted until after dinner.

The elder sister-in-law tiptoed to the small bed and called Xiao Wei a few times in a low voice, but Xiao Wei did not answer or move. The elder sister-in-law sighed and said, "Go to sleep well and don't think too much."

The sister-in-law said this, obviously suspecting that Xiaowei's stupidity and muteness were temporary and would get better after a while.

Xiao Wei sighed inwardly. As the daughter of a rich farmer, her sister-in-law's knowledge was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary neighbors. And there was reason to believe that her sister-in-law must have suspected that she had violated the taboo without any scruples, and it was obvious that she did it on purpose, even the fever was intentional.

In fact, Xiao Wei knew very well that when she woke up, she had completely recovered, and was much better than before. She was no longer the same Xiao Wei.

She didn't want to reveal it because she hadn't found a way to change her fate.

She needs time to re-examine her home, her environment, and the innocent and intelligent people around her.

There is no doubt that the coffin made for Xiao Wei could not be closed and was dismantled into pieces of wood that night. If it is not used to make coffins, it cannot be considered as stealing wood, and it is not justifiable to pay double wages. It is also unlucky to have coffin boards at home. During dinner, the Shen family negotiated with Carpenter Li and finally reached a consensus: the wood will be used to make tables and stools the next day.

The war had only been over for four or five years, and the general public was extremely poor. The carpenter business was not good, so every day of work was a day of success.

Xiao Wei became several times more dull, and forgot to do farm work. With empty eyes, he stared blankly at the sky, the clouds, and the birds flying in the trees. Occasionally, he looked at the busy craftsmen, his family, and the neighbors. His eyes were penetrating, so cold that it made people's hair stand on end and their hearts chill.

Everyone had reason to believe that Xiao Wei was completely disabled.

The disabled Xiao Wei suddenly became extremely clean. He only knew how to do one thing: cleaning and washing. He even cleaned the mosquito nets and curtains that had not been washed for two years. He could not tolerate any grass debris in the room or living room. Most of his clothes were ruined by washing, and he also increased his bathing frequency several times.

At first, my family and villagers were very appreciative, but after a few days they realized that the cost of cleanliness was too high. Even though they didn't know the word mysophobia, they all agreed that it was a disease that needed to be treated.
