Chapter 6 (2/2)

Zhang Jiaohua’s Uncle and Aunt along with his elder male cousin and female cousin came over.

“Aiya, Jiaohua, you indeed have a happy knack for chancing upon good food. Your elder brother and elder sister come daily, but also unable to eat even one bit. You got a good opportunity, just came once, and had chicken meat to eat. This chicken leg is delicious?” Zhang Jiaohua’s Aunt Hu Xiaoqing spoke somewhat peculiarly. She also thought that Grandpa and Grandma were bit biased towards Zhang Jiaohua.

Zhang Manyin couldn’t help but let out a snort. Ma Donghua immediately drew up Zhang Manyin, so as to not let him flare up.

“Xiaoqing, don’t be so suspicious. Today, this chicken was butchered because there was an important matter. Today, Daoist Priest Ma came, you should also know that second child’s family has been a bit disturbed lately. Originally, we had thought to have Daoist Priest Ma help. In the end, the matter didn’t come to fruition.”

Zhang Manyin sighed, “Ai! Now that you all have come, go get yourself pair of chopsticks and eat together.”

Zhang Jiaohua was disinclined to deal with all of this, he just continuedeating with great gusto while minding his own business. Hu Xiaoqing’s two eyes burned with rage seeing this. She pushed the two children by her side, almost making the two stagger, “Your Grandpa has let you eat, quickly get your own chopsticks!”

“I am already full. You all can eat the remaining.” Zhang Jiaohua rapidly grabbed two chicken wings, and quickly ran outside.

Sure enough, soon came the crying voice of female cousin Zhang Runtian could be heard from behind, “I wanted to eat Chicken wings. I want to eat Chicken wing.”

Zhang Jiaohua ran very fast, before Zhang Youping could chase after, Zhang Jiaohua had already run away without a trace. After that, Hu Xiaoqing’s voice could be heard coming from the house, “Cry, just know crying. Who asked you to not move a bit faster? Youping, ah. You should also properly discipline your Jiaohua. He shouldn’t run rampant everywhere like this. Just in case if he had frightened Yuanbao and Runtian then what could have been done?”

“Sister-in-law, how can you say like that? What happened to Jiaohua? He hasn’t become foolish, he hasn’t gone insane, what happened?” Zhang Youping’s protective instinct as a parent flared up.

Zhang Jiaohua’s Elder Uncle Zhang Youlian at this crucial moment, had to take a stand with his team, “Youping, can’t even your elder brother speak to you, ah. Your sister-in-law said this for your own good. Who in the village doesn’t know that Jiaohua is being haunted by the ghosts of those who died prematurely? Even if you want to conceal the truth, you can’t. Normally, I being an Uncle, shouldn’t speak like this. However, if some words I don’t say, then I wouldn’t be doing right by you. With Jiaohua like this, you had best not let him come over to the Old house. Old house bears upon our family’s fengshui. If such unclean things were to come, then what would we do about the spoiled fengshui. It won’t be good for everyone.”

“Ok! In the future, Jiaohua, no, our entire family of three won’t ever stop over at this Old house. Okay! Satisfied now!” Zhang Youping roared out his words, and after having spoken he traced his steps back to walk one step at a time. Several years ago, Zhang Youping husband and wife had chosen to build a new house quite a distance away from the old house, precisely because Zhang Youlian husband and wife were too troublesome. Zhang Youping was worried that living together all day there would be no peace. Now, Zhang Youping felt that at that time he really did have foresight.

Zhang Manyin let out a long and deep sigh, whatever words that he had in mind, he didn’t say, he just went to the village pond side to have a smoke.

Ma Donghua sighed incessantly, “Youlian, ah. You shouldn’t have said all that. Shouldn’t have said.”

Zhang Runtian at the moment wasn’t crying. Together with Zhang Yuanbao the last bit of chicken meat had been eaten clean. Finally, filling the bowl with rice, swallowed it down completely into their bellies.

The entrance of the village had an old Chinese scholar tree, as the light breeze would blow, the leaves would make rustling sounds. At night, the rustic village was tranquil just like this. Under the moonlight, thin mist had begun to pervade through the air in the village.

“Ah…….” Yaba’s hysterical cries resounded out in the mountains.
