Chapter 18 Prayers
Thinking that Mrs. Sun cooks porridge every day, as long as the rice is cooked, it will not look the same.

Therefore, Yu Xiaolian decided to cook the porridge every day before Sun's cooking, and try not to let Sun touch the rice bag.

In the evening, Yu Xiaolian rummaged through the herbs, and before Mrs. Sun came back, she cooked the porridge, three duck eggs and all the quail eggs.

After Yu Xiaolian finished cooking and returned to the front yard, she saw Yu Changfu politely inviting Goddess Hao into their room.

Why is Goddess Hao here?Yu Xiaolian was curious, so she ran to ask Yu Changhe who was weaving baskets.

"It seems that Zishu is about to take an exam, and your aunt wants to ask Mrs. Hao to help her."

Ah, it means praying for blessings!

Yu Xiaolian didn't expect them to be so superstitious that they even had to spend money to ask the sorceress for help in the exam.

If the sorceress really works, it is estimated that the streets are full of champions, who is still diligently farming?

Thinking that Mrs. Sun hadn't come back, Yu Xiaolian squatted beside Yu Changhe, helping him sort out willow sticks of similar size and length, and plucked off the willow leaves by the way.

While he was doing it, suddenly a basin of water mixed with talisman paper ash was poured down his head.

Yu Xiaolian was furious, and when she looked back, she saw Yu Ziyi was holding an empty wooden basin, and shouted angrily, "Yu Ziyi, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Yu Xiaolian was drenched, Yu Ziyi didn't think it was wrong, but said triumphantly, "Sister Hao said that this talisman water can ward off evil spirits and can restrain all ominous things in the house. Let me sprinkle some on every corner of the house." I saw you as soon as I came out, and I feel that the biggest ominous thing in the family is you, a dead girl, of course I have to help you wash it from head to toe, so as not to hinder my brother's entrance examination."

"If your brother doesn't pass the Tongsheng exam, it's because he's incompetent. What's the matter with me? I think your family is crazy."

"To tell you the truth, my mother paid someone to burn the talisman water, and it was for you. The third uncle failed to pass the examination last year as a scholar, and it was you who gave it to him. If my brother fails to pass the examination this time, don't you think it's okay?" throw you out."

Yu Xiaolian didn't expect that Yu Ziyi, a scholar who just came back from school, would also be superstitious about this, and he didn't see at all that he didn't look like he was educated.

Have all the books been read in the dog's stomach?

Yu Xiaolian knew that the current stability of their family was only short-lived, and when Yu Changyu was about to marry a wife, the old lady Yu would drive Yu Changhe's family out on the grounds that they didn't have a house at home.

It seems that she should have made a plan earlier. After all, when their family was kicked out, it was a severe winter and they had nowhere to go, so they had no choice but to go to Sun's natal family in a neighboring village, but Sun's natal sister-in-law was very kind to them. Don't wait, they have been living under the fence for several months before Yu Changhe spent a lot of effort to build a small thatched house.

"Ah, why is this all pouring on Xiao Lian alone? Didn't I tell you to dip it in willow sticks and sprinkle it in the four corners? Why didn't you do it, child?" Mistress Hao came out to accuse Yu Ziyi.

"Then... will this prayer not work anymore?" Mrs. Cao looked at Goddess Hao, "Auntie, can you burn some more talisman water? I will sprinkle it on the four corners of the southeast, north and west in a while, I will do it, I don't need this child That's it. This kid is frizzy at work, and it's all on Xiao Lian."

Looking at Yu Xiaolian again, "Little Lian, your Brother Ziyi didn't do it on purpose, you go into the house and change your clothes!"

Yu Xiaolian was speechless, just now Yu Ziyi said that he did it on purpose, so it's interesting to do this now?

Thinking that Yu Zishu was admitted to Tongsheng, she became angry.

Yu Changhe escorted Yu Xiaolian into the house, "Lian'er, we don't care about them, our Lian'er is not a nemesis, the night Dad picked you up, there was a luminous jade pendant next to your head, shining on it That little face of yours is white and jade-like, like a fairy boy."

Yu Xiaolian was changing clothes in the back room, while Yu Changhe was guarding the door, and continued, "It's just a pity that the jade pendant was snatched away by the damned Pan family. It's all my father's fault..."

Yu Xiaolian changed her clothes in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled out the curtain, "Father, the reason why the Pan family discounted your leg was because of that jade pendant, right?"

Yu Changhe nodded, recalling that a few months ago, Pan Jinrong, the young master of the Pan family, knew from nowhere that he had a luminous jade pendant in his hand.

Pan Jinrong approached him and expressed that he wanted the jade pendant, but Yu Changhe refused.

This jade pendant might be a token left by Yu Xiaolian's biological parents, how could he give it away.

In order to get the jade pendant, Pan Jinrong used both hard and soft tactics. One night, when Pan Jinrong got drunk, he led someone to break Yu Changhe's leg in a fit of anger, and threatened that if he couldn't see the jade pendant tomorrow, he would find someone to kill Yu Changhe's family.

After Zhao Kuo sent Yu Changhe home, he tried hard to persuade Yu Changhe to recognize the situation and stop fighting against that bully Pan Jinrong.

Yu Changhe's broken leg was in unbearable pain, and thinking that his family might be destroyed because of a piece of jade pendant, Yu Changhe finally handed over the jade pendant.

"Father, who knows about this jade pendant?"

"When I picked you up, besides the jade pendant, you also had a gold ingot on your body. I gave the gold ingot to your grandma, and I kept the jade pendant. Except for our family members who knew about this , and your Uncle Zhao knew about it. However, it is impossible for your Uncle Zhao to tell Pan Jinrong about this matter. It may be that your uncle and your third uncle were in the village. They boasted about the jade pendant and were heard by those who cared .”

Yu Xiaolian sighed, she is such a stupid father, she also took Zhao Kuo as her good brother, it is estimated that after a while, the news of Zhao Kuo's promotion and salary increase should spread back to the village.

It is estimated that even if she told Yu Changhe that Zhao Kuo betrayed him, without conclusive evidence, Yu Changhe would not believe her.

Mrs. Sun was holding an embroidery basket for embroidery, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Mrs. Cao flicking the talisman to the east and west, and the whole yard smelled of burnt talisman paper.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Our son's book is about to take an exam. Today, I invited Goddess Hao to come to my house to pray for blessings. This is the talisman water that Goddess Hao burned, and it works."

"Didn't sister-in-law yell at Goddess Hao before? Why are you willing to spend money to ask her to pray?"

"I can't help it, she's the only 'caretaker' in these ten miles and eight villages, if you don't look for her, who can you look for.

Besides, wasn't your little pity rescued by her? No matter how clever she is, she knows more than us laymen.Let me tell you, Brother Kuang's death day is coming soon, so you have to find her to see if Brother Kuang has been reincarnated? "

Mrs. Cao said, and poured the last bit of talisman water in the basin at Mrs. Sun's feet, "After all, I've been your son once, and you have to take care of him. Alas, it's hard for a lonely ghost to be alone!"

After Cao finished speaking, she took the wooden basin and left.

Mrs. Sun stood there fixedly, her face pale, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
