The Chu family only had about 500 yuan in savings and owed 400 yuan in debt. Now, it was not enough to pay the Yin family 300 yuan medical fees.
Grandma Chu cried as soon as she got home. Grandpa Chu pushed her hard. "Shut up! Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? I asked you to marry Chu Lan to the Yin family from the beginning, but you delayed. Now they are pointing at me and scolding me. It's all because of you! Hurry up and give me the money! "
Grandma Chu took the hit and didn't dare to make a sound. Her heart was bleeding as she took out 300 yuan from the cabinet. She counted it over and over again and asked Chu Lan's father to send the money over. Chu Lan's father was an honest man. No one scolded him. Now, they could only come back safely if he sent them back. The rest of the Chu family hid in the house and were too ashamed to see anyone.
Chu Lan's mother secretly sent food to Chu Lan and told her about it. Chu Lan was annoyed. If she had known that it would cause so much trouble, she would have urged her family to pay the Yin family's medical fees from the beginning. Now, even if there was no evidence and she was not locked up, she would always be a suspect in the eyes of the villagers.
Chu Lan thought about it and felt that it was all Chu Xiang's bad luck. She believed that Chu Xiang was unlucky and often complained to her mother. She wished that Chu Xiang would faint and never wake up so that she would not be a burden to her in the future.
Yin Qiuwen and Yang Yuelan got the 300 yuan and secretly sent a pork to the captain's wife. They went home with relief. Yang Yuelan felt that she had solved a big problem. From now on, this matter was over and she would never think about it again. Yin Qiuwen felt that she had completed the task her brother gave her. She tore off a piece of flesh from the Chu family and helped her future sister-in-law vent her anger.
This matter was not over yet. Although everyone dispersed, it was still lively. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss it. Skinny Monkey and his brothers secretly provided them with a lot of information. For example, Chu Xiang was a jinx and Chu Lan was the reincarnation of a lucky star. The Chu Family couldn't wait for Chu Xiang to die. They also wanted Chu Lan to marry Chu Xin to the provincial capital and so on.
Rumors spread quickly in the village, and they were getting more and more exaggerated. In the end, the two daughters of the Chu Clan were the reincarnation of a lucky star and a jinx!
Of course, no one dared to use the word "reincarnation". The impact of the fight against superstitions was still there, so no one dared to discuss it openly. But the more mysterious it was, the more it could arouse everyone's curiosity and desire to pay attention to it. When the Chu family heard these rumors, everyone thought that the Chu family would be cursed to death by Chu Xiang. Chu Lan might not be the only one who could survive.
It was useless for Grandma Chu to find someone to explain. At this time, who would want to have anything to do with the Chu family? They were all far away from them! Grandma Chu was so angry that she went home and slapped Chu Lan's mother hard. She said angrily, "Who else can spread these rumors? Don't you want to save your daughter? You don't even care about the Chu family's reputation, idiot! "
Grandma Chu vented all the anger she suffered from Grandpa Chu on Chu Lan's mother. No one in the family helped her. Li Yuezhen also made sarcastic remarks. They also thought that it must be Chu Lan's mother who spread the rumors. This matter was only beneficial to Chu Lan.
The rumors in the village made the brigade leader angry and nervous. He hurriedly arranged many people to dig ditches and work, and strictly ordered them to keep their mouths shut. The brigade leader was annoyed by the Chu family's mess. His wife always asked him to pay a hundred yuan in advance at the hospital. He simply asked his wife to go to the Chu family and warn them that feudal superstitions were not allowed. Be careful of being punished by the higher-ups.
Of course, the brigade leader's wife would not spoil the Chu family. The Chu family gave the Yin family three hundred yuan, so be it. They couldn't owe the Chu family a hundred yuan, right? She went to the Chu family to warn them and hinted that they should return the money. She was the brigade leader's wife. The Chu family had already lost a lot of face. They didn't want to offend the brigade leader, so they could only endure the pain and return the hundred yuan.
Looking at the remaining hundred yuan in the family's savings, Grandma Chu felt dizzy. She kept muttering, "It must be Chu Xiang. It must be her … She wants to ruin the Chu family …"
At this time, no one in the Chu family stopped her. Anyway, no outsiders heard it. They were so miserable now. No one felt that they had caused the Chu family to become like this. Chu Xiang became the target of public criticism. She became the jinx that they firmly believed.
After a night, the news that Chu Xiang had woken up finally spread to the village. No one in the Chu family was happy. Their first reaction was that they would be cursed by her in the future! Li Yuezhen's reaction was the biggest. She pulled Chu Xin to the two elders and cried, "Dad, mom, what should we do? We can't let Chu Xiang be the jinx of Daxin! You have to think of something! "
Grandma Chu said angrily, "You still have the face to cry? You gave birth to that jinx! I don't care. You send her to your mother's house. Don't bring her back! "
Li Yuezhen cried, "My sister-in-law specially came to see me. She asked me not to bring Chu Xiang back to my mother's house in the future. I can't do that …"
The Chu family regarded Chu Xiang as a scourge. They didn't want her to go home at all. But what could they do? The whole village knew that Chu Xiang had woken up. They couldn't just leave her outside.
Grandma Chu had a splitting headache. She lay on the bed and didn't care anymore. She kept telling them not to give the hospital money. The others naturally didn't have any ideas. In the end, Chu Weiguo and Li Yuezhen could only go to the county hospital to bring Chu Xiang back.
Chu Xiang had informed the doctor in advance and asked the doctor and them to pay attention to the things that they should pay attention to. She had indeed rolled down the hill and choked on the smoke. Although they didn't find out, it was true that she had been in critical condition twice. Her condition was very serious. The doctor repeatedly told Li Yuezhen to give Chu Xiang more nutritious food. She should go back to bed and rest. She should come back for a check-up a week later.
Li Yuezhen's face turned green. She had to rest in bed again. How long had she been resting? They couldn't go to college to earn subsidies, and they couldn't work. They had to eat good food to nourish their body. Were they supposed to serve their ancestors?!
The key point was that Chu Xiang's house was burned to the point that it couldn't be lived in. Where was Chu Xiang going back to live? Chu Xiang and Chu Lan seemed to have a grudge. They couldn't let the two of them live together. Then, wouldn't they have to let Chu Weiguo sleep with Chu Xin while she slept with Chu Xiang? What was going on? Chu Weiguo's snoring disturbed Chu Xin!
Li Yuezhen and Chu Weiguo were gloomy all the way. They had to push the handcart with all their strength. They were so tired that they were sweating. The two of them talked a lot about Chu Xiang, but Chu Xiang just closed her eyes and pretended not to hear them. They couldn't do anything. Last time, Li Yuezhen almost pushed Chu Xiang to death. She was traumatized. How could she do anything to her now?
After they entered the village, almost all the villagers who knew about it came, including the educated youths. Someone asked how Chu Xiang was, someone asked if Chu Xiang saw Chu Lan set the fire, and someone asked where Chu Xiang lived. Everyone asked at the same time, but they couldn't hear who was asking what.
Chu Xiang just pretended to be at a loss and answered, "I don't know …"
Chu Xiang's acting had won the International Oka Award. She looked so pitiful. Even if everyone heard that she was a jinx, they couldn't help but sympathize with her. They followed her all the way to the Chu Family, as if they were afraid that she would be bullied and escorted her home.
Song Yang was also very worried. He squeezed in the crowd and wanted to talk to Chu Xiang. Who knew that he saw the scar on Chu Xiang's face. It was as long as a finger!
Song Yang was so shocked that his eyes widened. The educated youths next to him had already covered their eyes and cried out. Only most of the villagers saw Chu Xiang's injury before. The educated youths didn't see it, especially Song Yang. Chu Lan deliberately gave him the impression that Chu Xiang had recovered well, but she was weak and pitiful. During this time, his imagination of Chu Xiang had been very beautiful.
Chu Xiang had been beautified by Chu Lan in his mind. Suddenly, he saw the hideous scar on Chu Xiang's face. The difference between heaven and earth was too exciting. He couldn't accept this shock at all. Unconsciously, he stepped back a few steps, getting farther and farther away from Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang didn't even look at him. This kind of man only looked good on the surface, but when he encountered something, he was a good-for-nothing. He hadn't experienced many things, so he wasn't so calm. But what did that have to do with her? She didn't like him. Why should she accompany him to grow up?
Song Yang returned to the educated youths' place in a daze. Chu Xiang was stopped at the door of the Chu family's house. It was Grandma Chu who stopped her. She was too superstitious. She didn't dare to let Chu Xiang enter the house. She winked at Li Yuezhen and said coldly, "The child's grandmother misses her so much. Hurry up and send her over to let the in-laws feel at ease. Chu Xiang's house was burned and rebuilt. There is no place to live and it is noisy. Let her raise these children at the in-laws' place. "
Li Yuezhen widened her eyes, "Mom, there is no place there!"
Chu Xiang sat up with the help of the handcart. She coughed a few times with a pale face and said weakly, "Grandma, mom, you … what are you doing? Why don't you let me enter the house? "
"They think you are a jinx!" The skinny monkey squatted by the wall and shouted. Then he turned around and ran to the back of the house.
Chu Xiang couldn't believe it. She supported herself with the handcart and looked at the expressions of the Chu family, "You are superstitious? A jinx? I have been in the Chu family for 18 years. You think I am a jinx? "
The villagers were not afraid of making things worse. They said one after another. Not only did they talk about the jinx, but they also talked about the jinx.
Chu Xiang gave them a thumbs up in her heart. Then she said in an even more unbelievable tone, "Just because Chu Lan caught two rabbits, she is lucky. I encountered danger twice and I am a jinx? Then what do you mean now? You want to drive me out of the house and separate me? Don't even think about it. I have taken care of Daxin all these years. You are my younger brothers who I can rely on for a lifetime! "
As soon as the word "separate" came out, the surrounding people immediately became quiet. Separation was a very sensitive topic. The more people there were, the more labor there would be. If there were not so many conflicts in the village, there would be no separation at all. This was a very embarrassing thing.
However, the word "separation" made the Chu family suddenly enlightened. Grandma Chu didn't say anything. At this time, when she heard that Chu Xiang wanted to rely on her precious grandson, she didn't care about her face anymore. She made a prompt decision and said loudly, "Yes, separation. You are already an adult at 18 years old. What's wrong with that? You set the house on fire and falsely accused Chu Lan. I haven't scolded you yet. I won't let you pay for the house. You can just leave like this. The old house at the end of the village is yours. "
The captain was called. The skinny monkey came back from the back of the house and sneered, "I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person. This is turning black into white and bullying people. Chu Xiang, let the captain make a decision for you! "
The captain was also surprised. He went forward to persuade the Chu family to stop making trouble. How could an unmarried girl be separated? Everyone also tried to persuade, but Grandma Chu was determined not to let go.
Chu Xiang's body shook, and her face became paler. She looked at them and said, "Okay, I will separate!"
