C54 (1/2)
At this point, Grandma stopped. With a shake of his outstretched hand, he picked up the teacup, causing water to gush out of it. I said slow down, don't drop the glass. She lifted the cup close to her mouth and gulped the water down. He let out a breath and wiped his mouth, staring at me with wide eyes: ”Shier, do you know what happened after that retard put the jar on his head?”
”What happened? ”Could it be that he's dead?!” ”No,” I said.
”Yes!” He's dead! ” Grandma slapped her thigh again, her eyes almost popping out, ”Sudden death! He put the jar on, and before he had taken a few steps, he collapsed with a loud thud. Not moving. The jar above his head was strong enough to knock against the brick-paved floor, but it did not break.
At first, everyone thought Er'zi was pretending. After a long time, he couldn't afford to pay it back. Then someone kicked him hard, saying that he was f * cking dozing off and had his head in a jar, dreaming of getting a wife!
Some joked that this was the old lady's urine jar. The smell of urine was so strong that it made Er Fa faint. I said, damn it, does my mother's urine smell that bad? I have diabetes, my urine is sweet. I even tasted it myself. It's sweet! Everyone laughed at me, and your aunt poked me again, telling me to shut up and stop talking. ”
I couldn't help but scold, ”Grandma, sometimes you have to hold your tongue a little, don't say everything! They say you owe them nothing! Also, you shouldn't be shouting in front of a crowd in the middle of the night when you come across a man wearing a can. You should get a few close friends to talk to them in private and discuss what to do.
With your shout, the entire village knows. If something really does appear on Second Uncle's corpse, you won't even be able to cover it. What good fortune could a dead man be capable of causing such a strange event? When people feel so unlucky that they panic, they avoid you and your family. He even used your family's affairs as a topic of discussion after the meal. Your family no longer has any status in the village! ”
Grandma said, ”Ai, why are you so tired of living? You all love to pretend to be calves.” I won't act. I don't have anything to say! I thought that after a long time, everyone would feel that I was sincere and that I had some sort of good relationship with others! In the end, they called me Half-cooked behind my back! You don't even tell me the important matters, you're just making fun of me! ”
(” Half-cooked ”is a half-cooked product, often referring to people with insufficient brain.)
I got up and poured a glass of water for Grandma and said, Grandma, you go on.
Grandma said, ”Second Fool has been lying on the ground for a long time. Only then did everyone feel that something was wrong. Just then, two people helped him up and took off the jar on his head. When he took a look, he saw that there was no blood on his face, but he was already dead. Some people said that it was impossible for him to be bored to death by wearing an earthenware jar.
Only then did everyone panic, knowing that they were afraid. And I know I'm not spouting nonsense. No one dared to stay in the shed. Not caring about their kinship, they cried out in fear as they ran out of people. Even your big aunt and your Eldest Uncle ran home and closed the door. Just like this, your Second Uncle's affair is thrown halfway, no one will care about it anymore! ”
After a long silence, I could barely contain my anger. ”My second uncle was a rare good man,” I said. He died just like that. After death, he would be left in the cold. Who said that the Heavenly Dao was a good reincarnation, that good and evil would eventually be rewarded? Why don't I see my second uncle getting a good report!
”Actually, your Second Uncle is not a good person either!” Grandma squinted at him and said.
I was stunned. ”What's wrong with him? Why is he not a good person anymore?”
”When he was a young man, he was in the woods at the back of the village, beating up his sheep,” said his grandmother. ”Darn it!”
”Ah, my Second Uncle would do that? Did someone make it up? ” ”No,” I said.
”What kind of ballad is this!?” He was caught red-handed! Those who had caused such a stir all knew about it. Or else I'll marry your second wife, this silly woman! Who from a good family would marry him! ” Grandma said.
I said, ”Who didn't make some impulsive mistakes when they were young! He didn't hurt anyone! ”
”But your Second Uncle beat your second aunt to death!” Grandma said again.
I stopped talking because I didn't know what to say.
”Your Second Uncle is ruthless! I often lose my temper at home, and sometimes I get beaten up. He pretends to be a good man! ” Grandma was furious.
”Then do the police know that my Second Uncle beat my second wife to death?” I asked.
”I don't know. No one called the police.” A fool should die just like that. Her parents did not pursue this matter, afraid that the police would capture her Second Uncle and leave her without a father. I am also angry at your second aunt for being so angry! It's good that he died! ”
I asked again, ”That idiot died because he put a jar on his head. How could his family be willing to do that?”
Grandma said, ”So what if I don't want to? Someone has called the police. The police have the final say! ”
”What did the police say about Second Fool's death?”
”Brain death!”
”What about the jar?” I asked again.
Grandma said, ”The police took her back. They said they would study her!”
