Chapter 761: Chapter 766 Disaster_1
Everyone was very panicked, for living itself was not easy.
Given another natural calamity or man-made disaster, wouldn’t that be deliberately taking lives?
Lao Guang, who was mixed in with the crowd, said, "I reckon that woman must have taken some medicine to shorten the pregnancy term. That kind of medicine can harm a child, and even if the child wanted revenge, it wouldn’t be on us!"
Lao Guang had been idling his whole life but often wandered the streets and lanes, knowing no small number of things.
Especially when it came to the private matters of women, he was very clear on all counts.
"Only this can explain the matter. That mother is ruthless enough, everyone knows not to recklessly take medicine during pregnancy."
"If you ask me, it’s Zheng Hong who’s the most unlucky. The child was almost five months along; there’s no way it could have been Ah Hong’s."
"Right, at that time Ruo Lan didn’t even know where she was."
"It’s only due to the sense of Fourth Boss’s wife that the family hasn’t collapsed. If it were anyone else, the family would already have been torn apart."
"To slander Ah Hong like that is no wonder such a thing was born. Granny Liu, you better be careful too. A child born before term harbors the strongest grudge."
"Don’t talk nonsense, children don’t know better. If by chance you provoke him and he starts causing trouble, our Big Willow Village could be finished!"
Everyone looked at each other and saw fear in each other’s eyes.
The child’s tragedy was caused by Ruo Lan, but what did the child know?
Maybe he’ll blame these people gossiping behind his back.
It was quite a while before someone spoke up, now they had to think of ways to protect themselves.
"Village chief, we should chase the Liu family out, and not let them bring bad luck to us!"
One must not joke about matters of ghosts and deities.
"The child was born here, what’s the use of driving them away now? Look at what you’ve done; if not for you, would we be so afraid and worried?"
"If nothing happens, fine, but if something does, you will pay with your lives!"
"Evil spirit, Big Willow Village must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to come across you!"
With each remark, they completely shattered Granny Liu’s psychological defenses.
It’s over, the silver gone, and now such a calamity has been brought to her family. What to do?
"How could this happen?" Granny Liu collapsed to the ground, wailing bitterly.
She had always believed that the child was Tan Zhenghong’s, always looking forward to its birth to bring good life to her family.
Even when she just found out that the child was lost, she felt Tan Zhenghong ought to give compensation.
She knew this was a bit shameful, but who could refuse such a windfall if it came their way?
Unfortunately, she was someone who could not refuse silver.
But she did not qualify as a bad person, just like today when Ruo Lan asked her to push Almond over, at the crucial moment, she couldn’t do it.
So why should she suffer such punishment?
It was not fair to her!
Granny Liu clutched Liu Laosan’s hand tightly, "Head of the family, think of something. You can’t let our family be ruined!"
Especially her son—he hadn’t even married a wife yet. He surely couldn’t just die like this.
Liu Laosan was full of resentment. Normally he had no say in anything, and any slight differing idea would earn him a torrent of abuse.
Now that trouble had come, why think of him?
But if they were driven out of the village, their family would surely not survive.
Liu Laosan could only steel himself to take up the burden.
"I’ll go to the town and ask Master Yun Xu if there’s any way to resolve this," Liu Laosan thought of Yun Xu.
The Tan Family’s new Embroidery Room was supervised by Master Yun Xu. He not only exorcised a ghost there but also set up a Feng Shui Formation, which really boosted the business of Duo Meifang.
