Chapter 318 At least there is a place to rely on
The corner of Wang Lin's mouth twitched slightly. It was a good thing that his wife dreamed of her elder brother. According to his guess, the brother and sister should be describing the pain of separation in their dreams.
As the saying goes: What you think about during the day you dream about at night!
I never thought...
His wife would say these words. She dreamed of her elder brother, but did not express the meaning of separation in the dream. So she said these words.
He didn't even know why his wife had such a dream.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Lin's mind, and he thought of the old story of the scholar. He said thoughtfully: "Old woman, did you think of the old story of the scholar before going to bed?"
Zhang Guihua was puzzled and asked, "Old man, why are you asking this?"
"Old woman, I know you can't bear to part with your elder brother and don't want to accept that he is gone just like this!"
Wang Lin sighed slightly.
although.
There is an old story about Xiucai Gong, and it has been verified that Xiucai Gong's father is now a landowner in Hutougou. Even after Xiucai Gong's mother passed away, she turned a disaster into a blessing with the help of Xiucai Gong's father.
Became the land lady!
Not to mention their Hutougou, even in the surrounding areas, there are countless families who envy Xiucai Gong.
Don’t underestimate the land god and the land lady, they are just second-rate gods, but they are still gods after all. Don’t take bean buns as dry food. I don’t know how many people want to be gods but can’t.
Most families envy Xiucai's family for being blessed by gods. When Xiucai and his wife grow old, they may take over the gods of the land and the land goddess from his father and mother, and his parents will return to the underworld to report.
Even if there is no way to eat the emperor's food in the underworld, at least you can be born into a good family in the next life.
Those who are older are envious that the scholar's father could become a landowner in his old age. Not to mention becoming a landowner, it is hard to say whether they can continue to be human beings in their next reincarnation.
Zhang Guihua was not stupid, so how could she not hear what Wang Lin meant from his tone? She said angrily, "Wang Lin, what do you mean by that? Don't you believe what I say?"
"Osmanthus, it's not that I don't believe you!"
Wang Lin smiled bitterly. Over the years, he had participated in many funerals and met many elderly people. When these elderly people were getting old, they all imagined that what happened to the scholar's father would happen to them. He explained:
"The reason why Xiucai Gong's father could become the landowner of our village is not only because there happened to be a vacant piece of land in our village, but also because Xiucai Gong's father was also born a scholar and had meritorious deeds. That's why he could become the landowner of our village!
Our eldest brother..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was very clear.
Zhang Guihua said angrily: "Wang Lin, what do you mean? Why do you say that my eldest brother is not qualified to be the mountain god of our Lion Ridge?"
"Wang Lin, Guihua, why are you quarreling?"
Li Ping just passed by the bedroom door when she heard the quarrel inside. She was startled and quickly pushed open the door and asked hurriedly, "What happened that made you all quarrel?"
Zhang Guihua said angrily: "Sister-in-law, you came at the right time. This old man doesn't believe me!"
"I want to believe what you say..."
Wang Lin gave a bitter smile, but before he could finish his words, Li Ping looked at him and interrupted him, "Wang Lin, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you and Guihua are an old married couple, why don't you believe what she says?"
Wang Lin sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, Guihua just said that she dreamed of my brother last night..."
Li Ping interrupted again: "Dreaming about Deben is a good thing. Don't you believe that Guihua can dream about Deben?"
"Sister-in-law, please listen to what I have to say first!"
Wang Lin heard the dissatisfaction in Li Ping's tone and said quickly: "Guihua told me that big brother told her in a dream that big brother became the mountain god of our Shiziling!"
"That's right, my elder brother told me this himself!" Zhang Guihua's old face was full of childish pride, and she couldn't wait to say:
"Sister-in-law, I remember there is a mountain temple in our village, but no one has worshipped for many years and it has become dilapidated. We have to clean it up because it will be our eldest brother's residence in the future.
We also need to hire someone to carve a magnificent statue for our big brother. We can’t let others look down on our big brother!”
Hearing Zhang Guihua's endless excitement, Li Ping's face suddenly became extremely strange.
She was originally a little resentful. Zhang Guihua was obviously extremely sad because of the sudden death of her eldest brother. How could Wang Lin be so mean to her? Even if she was talking nonsense, he had to go along with her wishes. After hearing Zhang Guihua's words, she finally understood why Wang Lin did this.
Her family's Deben became the mountain god of Lion Hill?
It was a wonderful thing that she had never dared to imagine!
Obviously.
Maybe Zhang Guihua was too sad, or she couldn't accept the fact that her elder brother passed away so suddenly, so she started to have hallucinations.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Are you listening to what I say?"
Seeing that Li Ping seemed stunned, Zhang Guihua quickly opened her mouth and shouted.
Li Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Guihua, I'm listening!"
"Well, sister-in-law, what do you think? Should we go to the mountain temple to clean up?"
Zhang Guihua asked, and said impatiently: "I think it's best to go now!"
Li Ping responded: "Guihua, I think we should eat first!"
Zhang Guihua was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Yes, I have to eat before going. Otherwise, I can't do much work if I'm hungry. Sister-in-law, is our meal ready?"
"In the kitchen, making ..."
Before Li Ping could finish her words, Zhang Guihua interrupted her impatiently, "I'll go help!"
Wang Lin looked at Zhang Guihua's quickly departing back, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, aren't you making trouble? Could it be that you also believed Guihua's words?"
"I would like to believe Guihua's words, but our Deben is not that lucky. I would be satisfied if I could marry into a good family in my next life. How could I possibly become the mountain god of our Lion Ridge?"
Li Ping sighed slightly, and seeing Wang Lin open his mouth as if he wanted to say something, she continued:
"Wang Lin, you know the relationship between Guihua and Deben. I'm afraid Guihua won't be able to accept Deben leaving her like this for a while.
Guihua dreamed that Deben told her that he had become the mountain god of Shiziling, which was actually a good thing for Guihua.
At least it can give Guihua some comfort in her heart!"
Wang Lin opened his mouth, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and said: "Sister-in-law, you are right, this is a good thing for Guihua!"
"Okay, you should get some rest soon. You stayed up all night last night, and there will be a lot of things for you to do later!"
Li Ping smiled.
But if you look closely, you can clearly see tears glistening in her eyes.
Zhang Guihua couldn't accept it. Zhang Deben left so suddenly. How could she accept it?
She couldn't accept it either!
