Chapter 11: Dreams

Accompanied by the mother-in-law, the husband and wife had lunch, said goodbye to their mother-in-law, talked and laughed all the way, and when they returned home, their mother was weaving, and when they saw Lotus go home, they got off the loom and greeted each other with a smile, knowing that everything was safe in Lotus's mother's house, and they said yes!

The wise Lotus, when she saw her mother getting off the cloth machine, ignored the fatigue and her mother's dissuasion, raised her legs and got on the loom, and after sitting firmly, she stepped on her feet and carried the cloth with her hands. The weaving shuttle is in the hands of the lotus, flying left and right, I am dazzled to see it, and it will not take long to weave more than a foot of cloth, and the happy old mother can't close her mouth, and praises it repeatedly: The lotus really has the ability!

After dinner, Lotus was afraid that my mother would be tired, so she asked me to go to rest first, but she got on the machine and weaved the cloth.

Because I was busy all day, sleepy and tired, I fell asleep, and in my sleep, suddenly a woman stood in front of the bed, with a haggard face, with a disheveled head, holding my arm with both hands, crying and calling my name, scolding me for being an ungrateful hypocrite, forming friendships, and vowing that her death was so miserable, not only harming herself, but also affecting the children, Lord Yama said that she was a person who was disloyal and unfilial, and was rejected and became a lonely ghost wandering around. beg me to burn more paper money in front of her grave, so that I can report to Lord Yama. She also said that she had returned her daughter and asked me to raise her well, so as not to disappoint her sincerity.

A shiver woke me up, knowing that my ex-wife was back, I reached out to grab it, but there was no figure of my ex-wife, and then a white mist floated out of the door.

I struck a match, lit an oil lamp, and chased out the door in my clothes, the cold wind was blowing outside the window, I couldn't see my fingers, I didn't see anything, I only sighed to the sky, beat my chest, and hated myself for being thin.

Lotus heard a sigh outside the door, so she got off the cloth machine, took the lamp to the door to inspect, saw that I was outside the house looking up to the sky and sighing, beating my chest, I don't know what happened, came forward to pull me back into the house.

In the house, Lotus asked me what had happened? I didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Lotus would be too distracted, so I only prevaricated Lotus by sleepwalking.

Lotus closed the door of the weaving house, went to bed, and soon Lotus let out an even breathing sound and fell asleep.

Facing the wife next to me, I had a lot of thoughts and couldn't sleep, and my ex-wife's crying came to mind, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false. The more I want to sleep, the bigger my eyes open, the more I don't want to, and the more chaotic my brain becomes. The rooster sings three times, the fish belly appears white in the east, and a round of red sun rises from the flat line.

It was already dawn, and I didn't dare to wake my sleeping wife, because she was too tired and wanted her to sleep a little longer. I got up dressed and saw my mother busy in the kitchen, said hello, washed up, and started a new day.

The red sun was setting in the west, it was getting late, after the busy day of tiredness, after dinner, my wife went to the machine to weave again, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

A gust of wind blew, and my deceased ex-wife was still standing in front of the bed, saying the same words as last night, keeping me awake all night.

The next day, before dawn, I got up early, bought a fragrant paper cannon, and went to my ex-wife's grave to worship, so that she could ascend to the fairy world early.

After praying, I went home to find my mother preparing breakfast.

Since paying homage to my ex-wife at the grave, everything has returned to normal...
