Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

Yi Zhonghai hurried to the central courtyard.

He saw Jia Zhang cooking in front of the door of the west wing at a glance.

At this time, Jia Zhang also saw Yi Zhonghai.

She panicked for a moment and almost dropped the egg in her hand.

Jia Zhang specially bought several eggs in the morning, preparing to have a big meal with her eldest grandson at noon.

"Lao Yi, shouldn't you have lunch in the factory cafeteria?"

Yi Zhonghai walked over quickly and asked: "Did you move the ashes I placed in the east wing?"

"I didn't move!"

"Why would I touch it?"

Jia Zhang cursed Cao Haotian in her heart.

You little beast.

There will be no good consequences for tipping off others.

When she took the ashes out in the morning, only Cao Haotian and the third aunt saw it.

The three aunts had been at home all morning, so Cao Haotian was the most likely suspect.

"Are you sure you didn't move the ashes?"

Yi Zhonghai asked again.

"I'm sure I didn't move, why would I lie to you?"

"Hurry up and wash your hands. You can eat when Bang Geng comes back."

Jia Zhang responded without changing her expression.

She already had a plan for dealing with the situation, so she wasn't too worried.

Yi Zhonghai turned and walked towards the east wing.

Since he couldn't find the answer by asking, he decided to go and see for himself.

It looked like something was wrong.

Jia Zhang quickly took the iron pot off the stove.

Then she hurried after him.

When Yi Zhonghai came to the east wing, he saw that the porcelain jar on the cabinet was still there.

But there was a yellow talisman pasted on the jar, sealing the lid of the jar.

Jia Zhang walked into the room and pretended to be calm and said, "I heard that people who commit suicide cannot be reincarnated."

"So I went to the temple this morning and asked for a talisman for my eldest sister."

"The people in the temple said that as long as you stick this talisman on the ashes, you will be able to reincarnate after burial."

"I didn't tell you outside just now because I was afraid you would be angry..."

Jia Zhang thought that Yi Zhonghai would believe this statement.

In fact, she didn't get this talisman from the temple, but had it written by someone in a shop selling yellow paper and cinnabar.

As for what was written on the talisman paper, Jia Zhang had no idea.

She told the shop assistant to write anything she wanted, as long as it looked like a spell...

At this time, Yi Zhonghai picked up the jar.

He felt that the weight of the jar seemed different from before?

Jia Zhang's heart also began to wrench up.

Yi Zhonghai stretched out his hand to tear off the yellow talisman stuck on the mouth of the jar.

He wanted to open it and see if the ashes were missing?

Jia Zhang hurriedly reached out and pressed the yellow talisman: "The people in the temple told me that once the yellow talisman is pasted, it cannot be torn off again, otherwise a disaster will befall you..."

"And the people in the temple also said that if the talisman paper is peeled off, the person who committed suicide will come back at night to take revenge on those who bullied her."

Jia Zhang continued to lie, because she couldn't let Yi Zhonghai open the jar to check.

Because she knew very well that what was inside was not ashes.

The ashes that were originally in the jar were thrown into the cesspool by her...

"Then I just ran into Auntie San in the front yard. Why did she say that you stole the ashes this morning?"

Yi Zhonghai was very confused.

He didn't think that the third aunt was lying because her tone and expression seemed very real.

It shouldn’t be!

Is it just to cheat a dollar?

Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure it out...

"Third Aunt is right. I did take the ashes out this morning."

"Because the people in the temple said that you must see the ashes before you can draw the talisman yourself, otherwise the talisman paper will have no effect."

"I took the ashes to the temple this morning and asked them to draw a talisman for me. Then I took the ashes back. That's what happened..."

Jia Zhang felt that her lie was perfect.

She began to admire herself more and more.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai finally understood.

The third aunt did not lie, because she only saw Jia Zhang taking the ashes out, but she did not see Jia Zhang taking the ashes back later.

It turns out that everything was caused by misunderstanding.

But he lost a dollar in vain.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai told Jia Zhang everything that had just happened in the front yard.

When she heard that she had been cheated out of a dollar, Jia Zhang was very angry.

She quickly walked out of the east wing, came to the front yard and knocked on the door of the third aunt's house.

"Hurry up and open the door and return the one dollar you cheated from our family."

In order to make things look more real, Jia Zhang had to continue acting.

The third aunt opened the door and asked: "Who cheated your family out of one dollar?"

"That was because Lao Yi wanted to hear the secret, so he gave me a dollar willingly."

Jia Zhang's attitude was arrogant, and she continued, "That was you, the old liar, who fooled my old Yi.

I took the ashes out, but then I took them back.

You asked my old Yi for one dollar for this matter. Are you a liar?"

The third aunt put her hands on her hips and said, "You are an old liar. You are so old and you even have grandchildren, but you still want to get married. Can't you sleep without a man?

Everyone in the courtyard knows that you married Yi Zhonghai just for his money and house. You are a real old liar..."
