Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"What?!"

Wang Zhanggen's burly frame trembled.

He could hardly believe what his ears had heard.

Zhou Aidi could die if she wanted to die, but why did she have to die inside his family's new building?

You have to know, that building had just been finished as a bare shell, and they hadn't even had time to decorate it yet!

Zhou Aidi actually went to his family's building to commit suicide—what on earth was she trying to do!

"Changgen, I know your eldest son and second son are getting married today, and on such a joyous day, asking you to handle a funeral isn't very auspicious, but now someone has died in your home, you have to come back!"

Zhang Zhongtian smiled wryly.

Wang Zhanggen's face turned black as iron, and he felt not a shred of sympathy for Zhou Aidi.

There was only anger, only gritted teeth.

Because he knew, Zhou Aidi hadn't died early or late, but had specifically chosen today to run to his new building and commit suicide, just to take revenge on his family!

Zhou Aidi was indeed taking revenge, and the final straw that broke the camel's back was actually not that she was forced to kneel and apologize at Wang Zhanggen's ancestral grave, but that Wang Zhanggen had invited the whole village to attend his son's wedding, while only shutting her out.

The blow to her was truly too great.

"This stinking woman, digging up my family's ancestral grave was bad enough, why did she have to come to my home and hang herself! She's really a fucking neurotic!"

Wang Zhanggen roared angrily into the mobile phone.

Li Xiulan sensed something was wrong and hurried over to ask:

"What's wrong?"

Wang Zhanggen replied in a low voice:

"Zhou Aidi is dead, she hanged herself in our new building."

"What?!" Li Xiulan was also stunned, almost screaming out.

She had never expected to run into something like this on such a wonderful day.

"Keep your voice down, don't let the customers know." Wang Zhanggen reminded him in a low voice.

And at this time, on the other end of the phone, Zhang Zhongtian said again:

"Changgen, the dead are the greatest, don't blame Zhou Aidi anymore, hurry back and handle it."

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly said:

"Okay, I'll go back in a while. By the way, did you tell Liang Xinghua about this?"

Zhang Zhongtian said:

"I called Liang Xinghua earlier, he's on his way back."

Liang Xinghua was Zhou Aidi's son, so Zhang Zhongtian naturally called Liang Xinghua first, and then came to notify Wang Zhanggen.

"What's his attitude? He won't blame me, will he?"

Wang Zhanggen asked this because he knew that this matter had started because of him, Zhou Aidi had now hanged herself in his family's new building, and if Liang Xinghua made a scene and insisted that he take responsibility, things would become very difficult.

Zhang Zhongtian said:

"Liang Xinghua said, this matter isn't your fault, and when he gets back, he will personally apologize to you."

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen let out a long turbid breath.

Fortunately, Liang Xinghua was not an unreasonable person.

But even so, it made Wang Zhanggen extremely troubled.

This house, newly built as a bare shell, hadn't even been decorated yet, no one had even moved in, and someone had died in it, making it inauspicious, unlucky—could people still live in it afterward?

Even if people could live in it, after moving in, every night when they went to sleep, as soon as they thought that someone had died in the house, they would involuntarily shudder!

Wang Zhanggen's thoughts were complex, filled with both hate and anger.

"Should we tell Dashan and Erhai about this?"

Li Xiulan asked this at this time.

Wang Zhanggen put away his mobile phone, his expression heavy:

"They're getting married today, we'd better not tell them, it's not auspicious!"

Then he said again:

"I'll go back by myself, you stay here to receive the guests! Don't tell anyone about this!"

After saying this, Wang Zhanggen stood up to leave, but Li Xiulan grabbed him:

"If Dashan and Erhai ask where you went, how should I answer?"

"Just tell them I went back to my hometown to handle some matters, and I'll be back soon."

Wang Zhanggen went outside to the hotel, hailed a minivan back to town, and then took a motorcycle from town back to Shanggou Village.

Today many relatives and friends had driven to attend the wedding, but he didn't let any of them give him a ride, because in his opinion, letting a vehicle that came to attend a wedding take him back to handle a funeral would be very inauspicious.

Wang Zhanggen returned to Shanggou Village and headed straight for the new building.

When he arrived at the front of the building, he saw that quite a few villagers had already gathered there, all waiting for Wang Zhanggen and Liang Xinghua to return.

The one who died was Liang Xinghua's birth mother, and this building belonged to Wang Zhanggen.

So since neither of them had returned, the villagers didn't dare touch the scene.

"Changgen, you're back."

Zhang Zhongtian saw Wang Changgen return and hurried forward, handing him a cigarette.

Wang Changgen took the cigarette and glanced into the room.

Only to see Zhou Aidi's corpse still hanging from the noose.

She wore tattered red clothes on her body and tattered cloth shoes on her feet.

Hanging there like a piece of old cured meat.

Her face was somewhat hideous, and the sight of her hanged was terrifying.

Zhang Zhongtian and the others had already lit incense beneath the corpse.

On one hand out of respect for the dead, and on the other to mask the stench of the corpse.

It was clear Zhou Aidi had been dead for some time.

Estimated to have hanged herself last night, and now she was starting to stink.

Since yesterday afternoon, Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan had been helping decorate the marriage room over at the Bigu Yuan Villa, sleeping there at night and not returning to Shanggou Village.

Who would have thought that just one night away from home, such a thing would happen.

Seeing Zhou Aidi dressed in red, Wang Changgen felt a chill run through him.

This stinking woman, wearing red to hang herself at his new house, her intention was obvious—she wanted to come back as a ghost to take revenge on them!

"Zhou Aidi, I already forgave you for digging up our ancestral grave, why do you have to do this?"

Wang Changgen looked at Zhou Aidi's corpse and asked this one sentence.

Too bad Zhou Aidi could never answer him.

"Changgen, don't think too much about it; no one wants something like this to happen. I've already reported it to the police, and they should be here soon. None of us should touch the scene."

Zhang Zhongtian said thus.

Wang Changgen smoked and nodded, letting out an "en."

After about half an hour, the police from the Town Police Station arrived.

The police cordoned off the scene and had the villagers wait outside.

Then they came out and asked:

"Are the deceased's relatives present?"

Zhang Zhongtian hurried over and said:

"Her son is rushing back from Shenzhen; it will take at least another hour or two."

The police asked again:

"Who owns this house?"

Wang Changgen hurriedly stepped forward:

"It's mine!"

The police asked again:

"What is your relationship to the deceased? How did she come to hang herself in your house?"

Wang Changgen truthfully recounted the matter of Zhou Aidi digging up his ancestral grave, explaining the whole story from beginning to end. After hearing this, the police remembered that Wang Changgen had indeed reported the ancestral grave being dug up before, but since the police couldn't find the culprit, the matter had eventually been dropped.

"How do you know for sure she dug up your ancestral grave? Did you wrong her, causing her to come to your house and hang herself to take revenge on you?"

The police coldly asked this one sentence.

Wang Changgen gave a wry smile:

"Comrade Police, I didn't wrong her; she came to my side on her own initiative and admitted it."

"She dug up your ancestral grave, so why would she come admit it on her own?" In the police's view, this matter was absurd and preposterous, defying logic.

However, some things in the countryside are just like this; they cannot be judged by so-called logic.

"Half-Immortal Wu said she dug up our ancestral grave, tried to steal chickens but lost more than she gained, and instead let our family absorb all of her family's fortune. If she didn't come to apologize and admit her mistake, her family would keep having bad luck, so she finally came to apologize on her own initiative."

Wang Changgen answered truthfully.

Just then, a police officer responsible for examining the corpse inside the house walked out and said to the officer questioning them:

"There are no other marks on the corpse; homicide can be preliminarily ruled out."

Hearing this, the police officer couldn't help but sigh.

After being a police officer in the countryside for a long time, one would discover that one truly encounters all sorts of bizarre things.

Just then, Liang Xinghua returned.
