Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Hapless Eldest Sister 19

”Ah...”

Suddenly, a scream jolted Yuan Chun awake from her drowsy haze.

As soon as she scanned with her spiritual power, she started to laugh.

Ma Xiaolan and Zhong Daming returned with the rations, and as Ma Xiaolan opened the door to her room, she saw it was covered in funeral money, white flowers, and blood skulls on the walls.

The look of bleeding from every orifice was just like when her brother-in-law died.

Her brother-in-law had been beaten to death, bleeding from every orifice.

Ma Xiaolan’s face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground, screaming.

Zhong Daming, who was unloading grain in the yard, heard the noise and quickly ran inside. When he saw the scene, his face also turned pale, and his legs went weak.

Ma Xiaolan seemed to be so frightened she lost her mind and murmured, ”It’s revenge, it must be them coming to take revenge on me, sob... They must resent me for causing Yuan Chun’s illness, they’re here to get me, ah... no, I didn’t mean it... Sister, don’t come for me...”

”Don’t... don’t say that.”

Zhong Daming went over to cover her mouth.

Although that gust of wind had passed, who knew when it would blow back, and if people heard his wife spreading superstitions, his job might be at risk.

Zhong Daming helped her up and led her outside, ”Xiao Lan, you... go to the kitchen and cook, the kids are going to be late for school, I’ll clean up the room.”

After all, he was a man, more courageous.

Zhong Daming grabbed a broom and swept all the funeral money and fake flowers into a basket, then packed them into a burlap sack.

The sack was full to the brim.

But no matter how he scrubbed, he couldn’t remove the blood skulls from the walls. Eventually, he got some lime powder and painted the walls again to cover them.

Even so, Ma Xiaolan felt that the room was eerie, as if something was watching her, and she didn’t dare enter it again.

She asked Zhong Daming to pack two sets of clothes for her and to get some money notes from the drawer’s compartment. She wanted to move and sleep with her little daughter.

But when Zhong Daming pulled out the entire drawer, he couldn’t find any money.

”Xiao Lan, did you forget where you put it? There’s no money in this compartment.”

”Impossible, I’ve always kept my money in the compartment,” Ma Xiaolan, now unafraid of ghosts, rushed into the room and turned everything upside down, searching.

She found that all the money she had hidden was gone.

Even the large stash she hid deepest was missing, and the money sewn into the old cotton jacket had vanished, too.

The old cotton jacket was intact, with no signs of the patch being undone, yet the money inside was gone.

This bizarre incident sent Ma Xiaolan into a full-blown panic.

Trembling, she knelt on the floor, crying out in fear and madness, ”Sister, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, don’t punish me, I know I was wrong, sob... Please return the money to me, that’s the savings of twenty years, you can’t take it, you’re a dead person, you can’t use it either, I’m begging you, give it back, sob... Sister, I’m your sister, your only real sister, you can’t do this to me. Even though I was a bit harsh to Wenwen, she’s still alive, I didn’t kill her. I gave her a home. Without me, who knows if Wenwen would still be alive. You can’t just remember the grievances, not the favors, sister...”

It turned out, the original person was called Wenwen.

Was it Zhong Li Wen?

Yuan Chun pretended to be just woken up by the noise, walked over, and said, ”Mom, why are you crying, what’s happened to this room, was there a thief?”
