Chapter 201 - 200: If you don’t do anything wrong, you need not be afraid of the ghost knocking at your door
She halted her steps and asked Erzhuzi’s father, "What happened? Who died? Was it Zhang Family’s Sixth Brother, or his wife?"
Erzhuzi’s father glanced around, saw no one else, and thus lowered his voice, "Zhang Family’s Sixth’s daughter is the one who died. They say she ran off with a man, but it turns out he already had a wife. When his wife learned that he was having an affair, she got furious and took people to find the girl... Later, it was said that the wife beat the girl to death and dumped her body next to a stinky ditch. Those who saw the body said her face was so smashed up it was horrendous to look at."
"Are they bringing her back to bury her?" Zhang Juyun asked.
"What else?" said Erzhuzi’s father, shaking his head. "It’s truly sinful. They say she was pregnant and the baby died in her womb too. Today is the seventh day since the girl’s death... You know, set off more firecrackers and burn some paper to dispel the bad luck."
"My, that’s truly tragic," clucked Zhang Juyun.
"Indeed! You’d better hurry back home with the child, Yueqin. Don’t stay out too long. Today’s not a good day; it’s an inauspicious day, and with this family’s ordeal..." Erzhuzi’s father warned out of kindness.
"Ah, it’s not really that ominous. Doesn’t the old saying go, ’Those who do no wrong aren’t afraid of ghosts knocking at their door’?" Juyun joked with Erzhuzi’s father.
"That’s true," Erzhuzi’s father laughed.
