Chapter 121: Catching the Adulterer
When I was learning spells, my grandmother taught us separately because my progress with Wu Peiming was different from mine.
When I had just learned the ghost repelling spell, the ghost subduing spell, the ghost collecting spell, and the ghost turning spell, Wu Peiming had already learned all the ghost curing techniques that my grandmother knew. Grandma was very satisfied with her protΓ©gΓ©, so Wu Peiming became the "child of other people's family" that grandma often mentioned to me.
Wu Peiming knows that I love to be strong, and I am very concerned about him being too much better than me, so naturally I haven't given him a good face recently. Wu Peiming is an interesting person, and as soon as my grandmother said that there was nothing to teach him anymore, he didn't come to our house much.
"Nannan, what's wrong with this Xiao Wu lately, he doesn't come? Did you quarrel? β
Wu Peiming suddenly made a 180-degree turn, from extremely attentive to so cold, that his grandmother was stunned.
Although I was also a little unhappy in my heart, I felt a lot more comfortable in this way, so I didn't ask about Wu Peiming's matter.
Later, grandma couldn't hold back anymore and asked grandpa to inquire with Wu Peili.
Only then did I know that Wu Peiming had recently applied for a qualification exam for an appraiser, and he also participated in a sprint class for this exam, and even locked himself at home to review after school, so he didn't have much time.
My grandmother and I were very curious, why did Wu Peiming suddenly run to sign up for what class? But when I asked my grandfather to inquire, my grandfather was not happy, and said that he wanted to inquire about it yourself, and he didn't want to gossip with us.
My grandmother and I asked Wu Peili, but he also said that he didn't know what Wu Peiming was thinking. My grandmother asked me to call Wu Peiming in person to ask, but I was too embarrassed to disturb other people's revisions, so I kept dragging it out.
A month later, I heard that Wu Peiming had already obtained the qualification certificate of the appraiser, but we only heard about it from Wu Peili, and Wu Peiming himself still did not show up and did not contact us.
After another half a month, Wu Peiming suddenly happily came to our house with a box of cakes to look for me.
That day, I met Wu Peili and the widow Zhang, who was the girlfriend that my grandparents introduced to Wu Peili before. They actually get along very well recently, and Wu Peili has not gone back after the Spring Festival, a large part of the reason is also because of his new girlfriend.
It's just that the two of them didn't know why they quarreled that day, and the widow Zhang was so angry that she called her grandparents away. When Wu Peiming came to the door, his grandparents were rushing over to persuade him.
Hearing Wu Peiming say that he met at the entrance of the building, his grandparents didn't say anything, and ran away in a hurry.
I smiled and said that I was going to put out the fire in his second brother's backyard!
Wu Peiming laughed when he heard this, and then actually came over and asked me very ruffianly: "Then the third brother, I haven't been here for so long, is there a fire in my backyard?" β
I naturally knew that Wu Peiming was deliberately teasing me, but I pretended not to understand: "Where is the third brother's backyard, I don't even know my sister, there is no fire there, and I don't know!" β
Wu Peiming saw that I didn't want to take advantage of his words, so he didn't continue the topic, but just took out the cake and invited me to eat.
I looked at each cake and saw that it looked very attractive, so I grabbed a piece and started eating.
When Wu Peiming saw that I had eaten it, he asked, "Why don't you ask the third brother why he invited you to eat cake?" β
I gave him a blank look and said, "The third brother hasn't come to our house for so long, and when he comes, it's also appropriate to bring a box of cakes, isn't it?" β
Wu Peiming was taken aback, and said with an embarrassed smile: "What my sister said is true, what she said is true." β
I saw his unconcealable joy on his face, and I thought that there was something wrong with suddenly coming to the door, but I just didn't give him a chance to speak, and suffocated him!
Several times in a row, he seemed to be about to say something to me, but I blocked him with words, or directly pulled away from the topic.
It wasn't until the grandparents came back and saw that Wu Peiming hadn't left yet, but the grandmother spoke first: "Xiao Wu, I haven't been to Ala's house for a long time, why are you free today?" β
Grandma was also a little sour and mean when she said this, because grandma liked Wu Peiming very much, but she was very unhappy that he was suddenly estranged from my family. Especially when I knew that Wu Peiming had passed the exam and didn't come to my house again, my grandmother was always choked in her heart.
Wu Peiming saw that grandma finally asked the point, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandma is sorry, I was busy with the exam a while ago, so I haven't had time to come and see you." After the exam, I was busy looking for a job, so I ......"
"Nong got a job?" Grandma's eyes lit up, she grabbed Wu Peiming's hand and asked, "Nong is free now, but he has found a job?" β
Wu Peiming nodded happily and said to her grandmother: "I remember what my grandmother said to me that day." Men, after all, should have a stable job to be able to support their wives and children! β
Grandma smiled when she heard this, nodded frequently, and kept giving me a look, saying that Wu Peiming was indeed a good man and responsible.
I glanced at my grandmother, and the subtext in my heart was: If you find a stable job, you can be considered a good man? So many men with stable jobs in Shanghai, all of them are good men? Is each worth marrying? Not to mention men, as an adult, having a stable job is the least you should do, okay!
But grandma and grandpa didn't seem to think so at all, and when they heard that Wu Peiming was determined to stay in Shanghai and found a stable job, they liked him more and more, and they couldn't wait to marry me to him immediately.
I was angry when I saw that they hurt Wu Peiming so much, so I quickly changed the topic and said: "Grandpa, grandma, what happened to Second Uncle Wu and that Aunt Zhang, didn't I hear that they were very affectionate before?" Even Aunt Zhang's daughter likes Second Uncle Wu very much, didn't you say a while ago that they wouldn't be able to get the certificate at the end of the year? Why are you arguing so fiercely today? β
"Oh, don't mention it, really! This thing is also strange! Grandma complained.
When I heard my grandmother's tone, it didn't seem to be an ordinary thing. And this matter involves Wu Peili, and Wu Peiming is naturally very concerned, so the two of us invariably asked what happened to grandma.
Grandma said that Wu Peili heard that Xiao Zhang had found another man outside, who seemed to be much younger than Wu Peili, as if he was only in his early forties, and this person's appearance was also excellent, so Wu Peili was jealous, so he quarreled.
But I don't think it's right, if according to grandma's statement, it should be the widow Zhang, why would she still call her grandparents angrily to judge it? It doesn't make sense!
Grandpa said that this widow had been crying out for injustice, saying that there was no such thing at all. However, the surrounding neighbors all said that they had seen this man and Widow Zhang go out in pairs, and stayed at Widow Zhang's house every night.
The grandparents said that although everyone said that Widow Zhang was wrong, Widow Zhang bit back and said that she had not done it, and it didn't look like she was lying. The grandparents didn't know what to say, but they persuaded Wu Peili to go home first.
I asked, "Second Uncle Wu has gone home?" β
Grandma replied, "Well, Yi went back in a huff." However, at the end of the day, I still don't believe that Xiao Zhang is such a person. I don't think she'll do anything like that. β
At this time, even Wu Peiming, who was on the side, said that he also felt that Widow Zhang was not such a person, after all, he had also contacted Widow Zhang many times, and he really didn't feel like it. Wu Peiming also asked her grandmother if the neighbors deliberately spoke ill of Widow Zhang, or did they read it wrong?
Grandma said it was unlikely, because Widow Zhang was usually kind, and the neighbors around her did not have a grudge against her. And Wu Peili often goes to Widow Zhang's house, and when he meets a few elderly people living alone next door, he will help out with anything, so those old people also said it because Wu Peili was a good person and really felt sorry for him. I've heard that this widow and this man have been in and out of pairs for several months.
"Wait, how many months? Isn't that that already hooking up with that man before meeting Second Uncle Wu? Doesn't that seem outrageous? Could it be that those old people are old and dazzled by the wrong ones? β
Grandma said that she persuaded Wu Peili in this way, and she also thought it was possible, but Wu Peili didn't seem to believe it at all.
"I'm still a few days away from joining the company, or I'm going to keep an eye on that little Sister Zhang to see if the neighbors around me are wrong, or if it's true."
I thought Wu Peiming's proposal was reliable, so I said that I wanted to go with him. He didn't object, and when grandma heard that I was going to follow Wu Peiming, she smiled and nodded straight and said okay.
In the evening, we stayed near Widow Zhang's house, because according to my grandmother, she would go to the vegetable market at this time of day to buy vegetables, because at that time the vegetable market was ready to close the stalls, and the vegetables would be much cheaper.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Widow Zhang walking out of the building with a shopping bag, and then walked towards the vegetable market.
I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, so I just followed her from a distance.
But he suddenly heard Wu Peiming behind him: "Sure enough, I really didn't wronged her!" β
At this time, when I turned around, I found that Wu Peiming was still in the same place and did not move.
I asked him, "Why don't you keep up, everyone is gone!" β
Wu Peiming said: "What else is it like, didn't you see that man holding her hand?" In his early forties, his appearance is not wrong, he should be the man the neighbor said! β
"What? A man holding her hand? β
I was shocked, and turned my head to look at Widow Zhang, although she had already walked out a lot at this time, but she could still be clearly seen in the distance, where was there any man holding her?
I rubbed my eyes and looked closely, yes, she was alone!
"Where's the people? Are you dazzled too? I yelled at Wu Pei.
Wu Peiming walked up at this time and asked with a surprised face: "Did you only see Sister Zhang alone?" β
"yes, she's not alone!"
Wu Peiming hurriedly took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Widow Zhang's back.
I don't know what he's doing, but anyway, in my opinion, everything is normal, it's Widow Zhang alone. Whether it is the framing or the imaging in the album, Widow Zhang is alone, yes!
However, when Wu Peiming opened the album to look at the images, his face was full of shock.
After that, he rubbed his eyes wildly, and then looked at it again, but his mouth said coldly: "This man is not human!" β
Now it was my turn to be shocked, and I asked, "What is not human?" Who's there? Not people, what is that? β
"It's a ghost!"
Wu Peiming said as he took out a small bottle from his pocket and sprayed it into my eyes, and a miracle happened. When I looked at Widow Zhang again, I really saw two figures walking in front of me. Although it was a little far away, I couldn't recognize the appearance of the person next to me, but looking at this figure, there was no doubt that it was a man.
I looked at Wu Peiming in horror, pointed to Widow Zhang in front of me, and then stammered a whole sentence.
Wu Peiming said to me very calmly: "Sister Zhang was indeed wronged, that man is a ghost haunting her, maybe she doesn't know it herself!" β
