Chapter 136 The Mountain Spirit Spends Money
Before the four even entered the courtyard, they heard a child crying and Zhao Guanglei shouting and cursing.
"Stop crying! All you do is cry all day long, when will it ever end?"
Right now, Chang Rongrong is home alone taking care of the child, and she's finally waiting for her father-in-law to come home.
Not only did they not help, they also yelled at the child, scaring him so much that he cried uncontrollably, which broke Chang Rongrong's heart.
"Dad, you've frightened the child!!"
Chang Rongrong, unable to bear it any longer, angrily shouted at Zhao Guanglei.
She was so angered by her father-in-law that her milk dried up, and she had to feed her two babies, who were just over a month old, goat milk and rice cereal every day, which she had already endured.
He is her father-in-law, and she respects him, but how can she tolerate him bullying the two children this time?
Zhao Guanglei frowned, widened his eyes, and glared at Chang Rongrong, cursing:
"You disrespectful brat!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to slap Chang Rongrong.
"father!"
Zhao Shengqiu shouted, "Rongrong is my wife!"
Zhao Shengqiu rushed toward Zhao Guanglei, running at the fastest speed he had ever seen in his life.
"Father, what are you doing?"
Zhao Shengqiu grabbed Zhao Guanglei and pulled him back. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Guanglei saw that his son dared to fight him, he turned around and started hitting Zhao Shengqiu hard.
The blows were fierce and heavy; two punches were enough to make Zhao Shengqiu's nose bleed.
"Zhao Guanglei!"
Seeing this, Miao was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
What's the matter!
Although Zhao Shengqiu was young, he was not as strong as Zhao Guanglei. Zhao Guanglei seemed to have been completely controlled by that black man and lost his mind, blindly getting angry and irritable!
The neighbors on both sides heard the commotion and came over.
The cries of Zhao Guanglei's two children, Zhao Guanglei's shouts and curses, and the scene of him punching Zhao Shengqiu startled the neighbors present.
"Zhao Guanglei, has he gone mad?" someone said.
"What happened to Guanglei's family? What wrong did Shengqiu do?"
Seeing that the fight was about to end in a fatality, Shen Ming stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Guanglei's fist.
He simply stretched out one hand, and Zhao Guanglei was completely immobilized.
Zhao Taohua saw that the black ghost above Zhao Guanglei's head was growing larger and larger as it absorbed Zhao Guanglei's increasingly intense anger.
When Miao saw that Zhao Guanglei was so angry that his eyes were red, he realized that Zhao Guanglei was no longer the Zhao Guanglei he knew.
She pleaded with Zhao Taohua, "Taohua, please get rid of the black ghost on Guanglei!"
"Aunt Miao, don't worry."
It was just a black ghost that fed on anger. Zhao Taohua stepped forward and simply took out a talisman and stuck it on Zhao Guanglei's forehead.
Zhao Guanglei, who had been extremely agitated just moments before, instantly calmed down.
The black ghost on his body was scorched by the spiritual energy of the talisman, and its entire body made a crackling sound, accompanied by ghostly howls.
Everyone in the courtyard heard it.
A villager asked in alarm, "What is that sound?"
"I just heard Miao say something nonsensical. Could it be that Zhao Guanglei is possessed by a ghost?"
"So that's why Zhao Guanglei suddenly attacked Sheng Qiu with fists and feet. It was all because of the ghost's manipulation!"
As the black ghost's mournful howl faded, the anger on Zhao Guanglei's face subsided, replaced by exhaustion and bewilderment.
Seeing this, Ms. Miao stepped forward, revealing her right cheek, which was red and swollen from his beating, and punched him in the chest:
"Zhao Guanglei, look what you've done!"
Seeing this, Shen Ming let go, leaving the rest to be resolved by the family themselves.
Zhao Guanglei's memory slowly returned, and he finally remembered all the bastard things he had just done!
He looked at Miao's face, then at Zhao Shengqiu's face, and finally at his angry daughter-in-law and his two grandchildren who were crying incessantly.
Zhao Guanglei was filled with remorse. He grabbed his hair and said regretfully, "How could I have done such a foolish thing?"
The village chief couldn't resist adding insult to injury: "You just chased after Peach Blossom to her house, trying to curry favor with your son Shengqiu!"
At that moment, Zhao Guanglei's damned memory also flooded back, and he took out the ten large coins from his pocket.
"!!!"
Zhao Guanglei's hand trembled as he held the money. He had actually argued with the village chief over ten large coins, while Tao Hua had never intended to keep the reward money for herself and wanted the village chief to distribute it equally among every household in the village.
He hurriedly apologized to Zhao Taohua: "Taohua, I don't know what's wrong with me, please don't take it to heart."
“Uncle Guanglei, I know. You were accidentally controlled by the black devil, which is why you became so irritable.”
Zhao Guanglei's expression softened after hearing Zhao Taohua's words.
Zhao Shengqiu wiped the blood from his nose and asked:
"Sister Peach Blossom, how did my father end up with this black devil?"
Miao and Chang Rongrong also found it strange.
Zhao Taohua looked at Zhao Guanglei and asked, "Uncle Guanglei, where have you been lately? Have you encountered anything strange?"
Zhao Guanglei frowned, racking his brains but unable to recall anything strange.
Just as Zhao Guanglei was frowning in worry, Zhao Taohua glanced at his main room and noticed a strange aura swirling inside.
"Perhaps the problem isn't outside, but right inside your home."
Zhao Taohua walked towards the main hall.
"what?"
Zhao Guanglei was puzzled, but followed him inside.
The others were very curious and also walked towards the main room.
Zhao Taohua walked straight to the cabinet in the middle of the main room, opened it, and after rummaging through it, took out a copper coin.
Zhao Guanglei seemed to have completely forgotten about the copper coin in the cabinet, and asked in bewilderment:
"When did we ever leave our money lying around here?"
“Uncle Guanglei, this is not an ordinary copper coin, it is a Mountain Ghost Coin.”
As Zhao Taohua spoke, she showed him the pattern on the Mountain Spirit Coin.
One side features a Bagua diagram, while the other side is engraved with a twenty-seven-character mantra.
Zhao Guanglei's family had no idea about this, so Miao asked:
"Is it because of Peach Blossom that my Guang Lei attracted the wrath of the black ghost?"
Zhao Taohua nodded and explained:
"Mountain Ghost Coins are believed to have the effects of warding off evil spirits, enhancing positive energy, and attracting wealth and good fortune."
However, because this mountain spirit coin had a hole in it, its effect became the opposite.
Zhao Taohua only said this much, and didn't continue, for fear of frightening Zhao Guanglei's family and other villagers.
"Uncle Guanglei, can you give me this copper coin?"
As soon as Zhao Taohua finished asking the question, Zhao Guanglei quickly replied:
"Alright, take it now. You know magic, so you can suppress it. Keeping it in my house would be a disaster!"
However, Zhao Taohua was still curious about something else: this Mountain Ghost coin was quite old, at least a hundred years old.
Zhao Taohua suspects that this "Gap Mountain Ghost Coin" is the key to the emergence of many spirits in Zhao Family Village!
"Uncle Guanglei, is the ancestor enshrined in the center of the ancestral hall your family's ancestor?"
Zhao Taohua asked.
