Seeing that Zhou Shujie agreed, Aunt Guo did not delay.

put on the padded jacket that Zhou Shujie found for her, and went out to Mrs. Ma's house.

Aunt Guo went to invite Mrs. Ma.

Zhou Shujie waited anxiously at home.

After going around the ground twice, I remembered that people who cried bitterly would lose water, so I hurriedly took a bowl of light salt water and brought it into the house to my mother-in-law to drink.

But her mother-in-law didn't want to drink it at all, Zhou Shujie put the bowl to her mouth, she pushed it away, and she didn't swallow it when she fed it with a spoon to her mouth, and it flowed down the corners of her mouth to her clothes.

Seeing this can make Zhou Shujie anxious, this can't be cured, if you don't eat or drink, can this person stand it for a few days, won't it be over?

She was so anxious that she cried, and her tears fell one by one.

When Zhou Shujie was gone, Aunt Guo panted and dragged an old lady with white hair and walked back quickly.

As soon as she entered the house, she didn't wait for her breath to catch her breath, and Aunt Guo said, "Aunt Ma, take a look and see what's going on?"

"Oh you're going to let me catch my breath?"

After speaking, the old lady sat on the edge of the kang and gasped for several breaths before taking off her shoes and sitting on the kang in front of Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law to look carefully.

Mrs. Ma glanced at it a few times, turned her head, and said to Zhou Shujie: "Little daughter-in-law, you go and bring me a bowl of water and get a needle." ”

"Ahh

Mrs. Ma took the things, turned her head back and forth and looked around the room a few times.

said to Aunt Guo: "Niece and daughter-in-law, you take these two children to your house, and it will scare them for a while." ”

"Okay, I'll take it away right away. Aunt Guo answered and wrapped the two children who had fallen asleep and hadn't woken up, and Zhou Shujie took them to her house and put them in the third daughter-in-law's house for her to see.

The two hurriedly returned to Zhou Shujie's house.

When Mrs. Ma saw them returning, she nodded and motioned for them to be silent.

looked at Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law, muttering words that Zhou Shujie couldn't understand.

After reading for a while, he brought the bowl of water, put it between her and Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law, and threw the needle into it, and the needle sank to the bottom of the bowl as soon as it entered the water.

After that, she stared at Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law, who no longer cried, and asked, "Say! Who are you? What are you doing here for the New Year?"

Hearing Mrs. Ma's question, this time Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law reacted, she looked up at Mrs. Ma, and lowered her head again.

Mrs. Ma continued, "Since you don't say it yourself, let me guess who you are? ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she raised her head again, and her two eyes stared at the old lady Ma and nodded.

Old Madam Ma asked tentatively, "Are you an external ghost?"

After asking, I looked down at the rice bowl, and saw that the needle was still playing and the bottom had not floated.

Then he asked, "Then you are a ghost." ”

As soon as Mrs. Ma finished asking, she saw the needle sinking at the bottom of the bowl immediately floated up and floated on the water.

Zhou Shujie and Aunt Guo both looked at each other in surprise.

Mrs. Ma glanced at the needles in the bowl. continued: "Since it's a house ghost, there are few ghosts in your family that I haven't seen, you listen to which one of them is right, you will stand up the needle"

Mother-in-law Zhou Shujie looked at Mrs. Ma blankly and nodded.

Mrs. Ma asked Zhou Shujie, "What is the name of your pillar?"

"Hmm?ah! Sun Jinzhu" may be because of a high degree of nervousness, when Mrs. Ma asked, Zhou Shujie was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and quickly answered.

"Hmm" Mrs. Ma nodded, turned her head and said to Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law, "You are Sun Jinzhu's grandmother......

Aunt Guo and Zhou Shujie kept staring at the needle in the bowl.

After Mrs. Ma asked this sentence, she saw that the needle did not react and did not dare to relax and stare again.

Over there, Mrs. Ma swept the rice bowl with the afterglow of her eyes. Then he asked: "You are not Sun Jinzhu's grandmother, are you Sun Jinzhu's grandfather?"

All three of them were staring at the needle in the rice bowl, which was still floating.

Mrs. Ma said in an affirmative tone: "You are Sun Jinzhu's father!"

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Ma's words fell, the needle in the water, brushed, stood up, and it was the kind of needle with the eye facing down and the real tip facing up standing upright in the bowl.

The bodies that Aunt Guo and Zhou Shujie showed followed, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on the ground, and they couldn't help but be smart.

Mrs. Ma looked at Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law with a white face and shouted angrily: "You old ghost, you are too ignorant, and your wife and son are not distressed." What kind of physique is she, and you still toss her like this. Even if you are homesick for the New Year, come back and take a look. Take a look at you and leave, what are you doing on her? While I have something to talk about and discuss, she will let me go, and ask your daughter-in-law to burn you more paper money on the day of the sacrifice. If you don't know what to do, don't say I'm not polite to you. ”

Mrs. Ma showed a panicked expression on her mother-in-law's face after scolding Zhou Shujie, and then she began to cry.

Mrs. Ma couldn't help it when she (he) saw her, and she couldn't really clean him up.

sighed helplessly, and said in a soothing tone: "You said how ignorant you must be, your wife is not in good spirits, you toss her like this, if she is serious again, she doesn't even have the ability to take care of herself, aren't you adding chaos to the family." Even if you are homesick and know that you have grandchildren, you can't toss people so much if you want to come back and take a look. Take a look at you and go, see who of these adults and children will carry you and toss. You said you're going to stay here for a long time, and you're going to make these two kids sick. You said you could make your family do something. Let's go back! Stop tossing, stop now and let your wife sleep, and go back when it's night!"

After a pause, Mrs. Ma continued: "Seeing that you can toss so much, it can be regarded as a little capable." If you do, you can make your wife better. This can also reduce some of the burden on the young couple. When your wife is well, she can go to your grave to burn paper, and often go to see you. Alright, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Now let your wife sleep for a while. You can go in the evening, if you are disobedient, I will be unkind to you. ”

As Mrs. Ma's words fell, Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law stopped crying, raised her eyes and looked in the room for a while, then looked at Aunt Guo and Zhou Shujie, and after seeing it, she closed her eyes and fell aside.

Fortunately, Zhou Shujie and Aunt Guo were standing in front of her, so she didn't knock her head.

Aunt Guo helped her mother-in-law.

Zhou Shujie hurriedly took the pillow and put it on the kang, let her mother-in-law lie on it, and took a small quilt to cover her.

Zhou Shujie and Aunt Guo saw their mother-in-law lying there asleep, and they both exhaled lightly.

Aunt Guo turned around and asked the old lady, "Is it okay for Aunt Ma to do this?

Mrs. Ma put on her shoes and went to the ground, nodded and said, "It's nothing, just let the daughter-in-law of the pillar burn some paper at the intersection at night and send it away." After a pause, he said, "I'll go back first." ”

When Zhou Shujie heard that Mrs. Ma was leaving, she took out a piece of money from her pocket and handed it to Mrs. Ma, saying, "Thank you Grandma Ma for coming to help my mother-in-law see a doctor today." ”

Mrs. Ma took the money, nodded and said, "Since you know the rules, I won't be polite to you, so I'll accept the money." If your mother-in-law has any problems, you can go to me, and I will come back to show your mother-in-law. After speaking, he walked out, and Zhou Shujie followed behind him and sent out the door.

(Again, this is not a promotion of superstition!) )
