The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Especially at the end, Ms. Liu Junior’s mother added, "Mom raised you to this age and found you such a good family, not asking for you to help the family much, just don’t be like your father this time; if one day Mom gets sick, not to mention giving money for Mom’s treatment, don’t end up being unable to come see Mom even once."

Thus, a chord in Ms. Liu Junior’s mind snapped, and she asked blankly, "Then, what should I do?"

The members of her maternal family exchanged glances—there was potential here.

Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law then said, "It’s simple, your mother-in-law is quite hot-tempered and now that she’s had a stroke and can’t move, you don’t have to do much. I reckon if you keep cursing at her for a few days, she’ll be on her way to heaven."

Alright, Ms. Liu Junior became possessed, so to speak. After returning home, she dismissed the young girl who originally served the Land Officer’s wife, and began to take care of her herself, feeding and washing the Land Officer’s wife’s face.

But there was also something else she felt compelled to do, which was to curse by the Land Officer’s wife’s ear for a while, with words like, "You old hag, why haven’t you died yet? Hurry up and die, you relentless witch." This enraged the Land Officer’s wife so much that her eyes rolled back in fury.

By some coincidence, the matter was somehow discovered by the young girl, who then secretly went to inform Yang Dayong.

Therefore, during the last time she cursed the Land Officer’s wife last night, she was overheard by Yang Dayong, and at that moment, the Land Officer’s wife was so angered she couldn’t catch her breath anymore. By the time Uncle Cai came to see her, it was too late; she didn’t make it through the night and died.

Seeing that the Land Officer’s wife had indeed died, Ms. Liu Junior was a bit frightened. At that time, people were somewhat superstitious, and after all, the Land Officer’s wife had been angered to death by her. She was afraid that the Land Officer’s wife would come back in the middle of the night to seek revenge. Coupled with the beating she received from Yang Dayong, the dual intimidation made Ms. Liu Junior spill the beans, revealing everything the Liu Family had said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dayong and Land Officer Yang were furious.

Right away, Yang Dayong had Ms. Liu Junior locked up, planning to deal with her after the Land Officer’s wife’s funeral.

"Granduncle, don’t worry about the matter with Ms. Liu Junior," Yang Chuxia took deep breaths and said to Land Officer Yang, "Ms. Liu Junior will definitely atone for Grandmother’s death, and as for those from the Liu Family who participated in instigating, not one will escape. Rest assured. What’s most important for you right now is to recover your health; otherwise, leaving Uncle Dayong to take care of two younger brothers would be too pitiful."

"Alright, alright."

With her promise, Land Officer Yang nodded vigorously, his aged eyes clouded with tears, and he finally relaxed.

Having left Land Officer Yang’s room, Yang Chuxia felt as if a huge weight was pressing on her, making it difficult to breathe.

She had always known that wealth could tempt the heart, but never imagined it could drive people to such madness.

It seemed that when selecting wives for the boys in the family in the future, one must be extremely careful—not only scrutinize the woman herself but her family must also be thoroughly investigated. Even if the girl was good, if the family was bad, it would not do.

Ms. Liu Junior had been married into the Yang Family for a year or two; usually, she hadn’t seemed so naive. No, that’s not right—perhaps she’d just been too good at hiding it.

With this in mind, Yang Chuxia went to the room where Ms. Liu Junior was being held. After thinking for a while, she instructed two lads to keep a close watch on her. They had to ensure she didn’t escape and prevent the Liu Family from intruding to see her.

She thought that once the Land Officer’s wife’s family was notified of her death, the Liu Family would surely want to see Ms. Liu Junior. Whether they got to see her or not, there would be trouble.

As she had predicted, after the Land Officer’s wife’s spirit tablet was set up, villagers came to pay their respects that very evening.
