Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 230 Ma Jiefu 1

Yang Wanshi, a famous scholar, is most afraid of his wife in his life. His wife, Yin Shi, has a fierce personality. Her husband is a little rebellious and immediately fights with each other. Yang Wanshi's father, in his sixties, lost his wife when he was old. Yin did not know how to be filial to his father-in-law, but treated him as a slave. When Yang Wanshi and his younger brother Yang Wanzhong saw their father suffering, they secretly took some food to help, and never dared to let Yin know.

Old Yang's clothes were dilapid, and the two brothers were afraid of being laughed at by outsiders and did not dare to let his father meet guests. Yang Wanshi was nearly 40 years old and still had no children, so he took Wang as his concubine. The husband and wife trembled and were afraid of Yin's majesty, and usually rarely spoke.

The Yang brothers were studying at home and waiting for the scientific examination. On this day, a teenager passed by the door, wearing gorgeous clothes and handsome. After a conversation, the two brothers had a good impression and asked the teenager's name. The teenager said, "The surname is Ma, and the name is Jiefu." Since then, the three have been close to each other, burning incense and kneeling down, and being brothers of the opposite sex.

After the separation, about half a year later, Ma Jiefu came to visit again with the child servant. It happened that Old Yang was also resting outside the door, basking in the sun while catching lice. Seeing that his clothes were simple and thought that he was a subordinate of the Yang family, Ma Jiefu didn't pay attention to it. He said to Old Yang, "I'm an old friend of the master. Please inform me." Hearing this, old man Yang put on a torn cotton-padded jacket and turned away.

Someone said to Ma Jiefu, "This is the father of the master." Ma Jiefu was very surprised. At this time, the Yang brothers came out to welcome the guests with a smile on their faces. The group came to the hall and sat down in the chair. Ma Jiefu asked, "Where's my uncle? I want to see him."

Yang Wanshi refused, "He is sick and it's not convenient." Ma Jiefu has a little bit and no longer insists. The guests sat opposite each other, smiling and laughing happily. They didn't realize that it was dark. Yang Wanshi repeatedly ordered his servants to prepare dinner, but there was no answer for a long time. The two brothers entered the house and urged. After a long time, a thin slave took a pot of bad wine in his hand, put it on the table without saying a word, and turned away.

After drinking the wine, Yang Wanshi ordered the food to be served. After calling seven or eight times, the thin slave slowly came out and brought a few bowls of brown rice and a plate of pickles. He put it on the table and said weakly, "The food is coming. Please use it slowly."

The food tasted very bad and it was difficult to swallow. The Yang brothers looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "Please forgive me for the poor family, the diet is shabby and the neglect." Ma Jiefu didn't mind and smiled, "It doesn't matter." Pick up the bowls and chopsticks and eat as if nothing happened.

After dinner, Yang Wanshi hurriedly said goodbye. Yang Wanzhong took two quilts and accompanied the guests to bed. Ma Jiefu said, "I made friends with you because of my virtuous and noble character. However, when they saw their father suffer, they were indifferent. It was really shameful for such behavior. Yang Wanzhong burst into tears and sighed, "The family is unfortunate. My sister-in-law is fierce, and the whole family is full of bullying. It's hard, but it's not enough to be an outsider.

Ma Jiefu was silent and said for a long time, "I was going to leave early tomorrow morning. Now you can't ignore the imperty. Give me an empty room. I can cook by myself. Don't bother you two.

Yang Wanzhong nodded and obeyed, prepared an empty room for Ma Jiefu, and asked him to rest. In the dead of night, he stole rice from the kitchen and gave it to Ma. He was afraid that Yin would be aware of it. Ma Jiefu understood his situation, refused with a smile and said, "I will find a way to worry about rice, vegetables and fruits, so that you won't be embarrassed. It's not early, please come back."

After sending Yang Wanzhong away, Ma Jiefu invited Old Yang to the house to eat and live with him. He went to the market in person to buy new clothes and changed clothes for Mr. Yang. Yang's father and son are all grateful.

Yang Wanzhong's son, named Xi'er, is seven years old. He slept with his grandfather at night. Ma Jiefu stroked Xi'er's head and said, "This son will have a bright future, but the teenager will be very lonely."

When Yin heard that Mr. Yang had no worries about food and clothing, he was furious and scolded Ma in a harsh voice, saying that he was nosy. At first, he only scolded in the bedroom, but later, he was not relieved and went straight to Ma Jiefu's residence to shout. The Yang brothers wandered sadly and dared to persuade, but they still couldn't stop it. Ma Jiefu ignored Yin's scolding and was not angry.

The concubine Wang, who was more than five months pregnant, did Yin know that she was immediately jealous. Without saying a word, she peeled off Wang's clothes and beat them severely. After venting, he summoned his father-in-law Yang and ordered him to kneel down and be punished. He wore a woman's silk scarf on his head, and then whipped him out. Coincidentally, Ma Jiefu was outside the house. Yang Wanshi was so ashamed that he didn't dare to come forward. Yin was forced hard. Yang Wanshi had no choice but to grab the door and escape. Yin then chased him out.

The two chased and ran all the way to the downtown. Yin stood with his waist on his back, pointed to Yang, and cursed loudly. The people around were curious and came over to see the bustle, and the spectators gathered. When Ma Jiefu saw Yin's scoundrel splashing, he was unhappy and scolded, "Slew, go back quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin couldn't help but turn back and run, as if he was chased by a ghost, and his shoes and socks all fell off. He came home barefoot, and his face was ashes. The maid picked up the shoes and socks and put them on the Yin family. She looked pale. Suddenly, she cried loudly. The family was surprised, but they were afraid of Yin's majesty and did not dare to ask the reason.

Ma Jiefu reached out to take off the silk scarf on Yang's head. Yang Wanshi waved his hand repeatedly and shouted, "Don't take it off, don't take it off, let his wife know, it's another severe beating." Ma Jiefu was angry and funny. He forcibly untied the silk scarf for him. Yang Wanshi looked nervous and restless. He was afraid that Yin would be blamed, and he paced back and forth outside the house alone.

When Yin's crying stopped, Yang Wanshi dared to enter the room. When Yin saw him coming back, he didn't say a word. He got up and went to bed without being angry. Yang Wanshi breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was finally relieved. He discussed this matter with his brother in private and was surprised. The family saw Yin's make a fool of himself and talked about it in private. After Yin realized it, he was furious and gathered his servant and maidservant and whipped him fiercely. After dealing with the subordinates, Yin's anger did not subsided, and he ran to Wang's room again and took the initiative to provoke.

Since she was beaten last time, Wang's condition has not recovered and has been in bed to recuperate. Yin didn't sympathize at all. Seeing that the concubine was weak, it was a good opportunity to fall into the well. She immediately held the rattan and beat her again. Wang couldn't stand it. The blood stained bed mat and she actually miscarried.

When Yang Wanshi heard the news, he was so sad and indignant that he complained to Ma Jiefu and cried bitterly. Ma Jiefu comforted and said, "Don't go back tonight and live with me." Yang Wanshi nodded vigorously.

In the middle of the night, Yin didn't see her husband return, and she was furious. When she was angry, she suddenly heard a thud outside the window, as if someone had pried the door. Yin was shocked and called the maidservant repeatedly. Suddenly, there was a bang. The door was pushed open, and a giant broke into the house with a ferocious face.

In Russia, several people held sharp blades and filed in. Yin's heart jumped wildly and opened his mouth. The giant snorted coldly, pulled out a sharp knife, put it between Yin's neck, and said gloomyly, "Dare to scream, kill you with a knife!"

Yin Shi trembled all over and begged, "A good man, spare his life! I have a lot of private money, and I'll give it all to you." The giant said, "I'm the messenger of hell. I'm ordered to take your heart for free." Yin became more and more frightened. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. The giant ignored it, scratched the sharp knife, pierced the skin of Yin's chest, and said, "Should I kill the elders to be killed?" Yin's face was pale and he did not dare to refute. The giant's sharp knife moved again, drew another several inches of scar, and said, "Is it time to kill your father-in-law?" Yin endured the pain and just begged for mercy.

If the huge population is hanging in the river, it counts Yin's crimes. Every time a crime is listed, it cuts a knife on Yin's chest, a total of more than a dozen knives. Finally, he said, "The concubine gives birth to children, which is also your offspring. Why is it so cruel that Wang's abortion? This matter is unforgivable." He ordered the left and right to "cut Yin's hands back and cut her heart to see if it was red or black."

Yin Shi was horrled, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried, "Xian Changgao Life, I know I'm wrong." Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house. The giant said, "Yang Wanshi is back. Since you know it's wrong, I'll go around you this time." With a wave of his hand, a few people dispersed in an instant.

After a long time, Yang Wanshi walked into the house and saw Yin's naked. The body, her hands were tightly bound, and her chest was scarred and countless. She was shocked and quickly untied the rope for her and asked why. Yin Shi said one by one that Yang Wanshi was disconcerted and secretly suspected that it was Ma Jiefu who made trouble. The next day, when he mentioned this matter to Ma Jiefu, Ma Jiefu looked blank and said, "Is there such a thing? I don't know anything about it."

Since then, Yin's temperament has been restrained, and he dares not speak ill for several months. Ma Jiefu was overjoyed and said to Yang Wanshi with a smile, "To tell you the truth: I cast a little spell before, which made Yin's heart afraid. Now that you and your wife are in harmony, it's time for me to go. After saying that, he left.

Yin Shi slept with Yang Wanshi every night, greeted him with a smile and served him carefully. Yang Wanshi's life has never been so beautiful, but he was a little unbearable and restless. On this day, Yin occasionally recalled the giant's face, shrinking and scared, and his limbs tremble. Yang Wanshi flattered himself and revealed a little in his words. Yin's face changed greatly, and he suddenly jumped up and forced him to ask. Yang Wanshi consciously lost his words and regretted. Up to now, he can only confess.

Yin scolded, Yang Wanshi knelt down to apologize, but Yin ignored it. Yang Wanshi knelt down until the third update. Yin said hatefully, "It's all good for me to forgive you. At the beginning, I was stabbed more than ten times in the chest by Ma. If I didn't take revenge, I couldn't get rid of my anger. You stand up and don't move, open your heart, let me cut a few knives, and I'll forgive you. While talking, he walked into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and approached Yang step by step.

Yang Wanshi was afraid and ran wildly. Yin then chased, called for help, and scolded endlessly. The room was full of chickens and dogs, in a mess. The family woke up. His younger brother Yang Wanzhong was confused. Seeing that Yin's face was murderous, he was worried about his brother's safety. He dragged him behind him and shouted, "Sister-in-law is angry. I have something to say."

Yin didn't listen and shouted and scolded loudly. At a glance, he saw that Mr. Yang was gorgeously dressed and became more and more angry. He quickly grabbed it, waved the kitchen knife, cut old man Yang's clothes into pieces, and then grabbed his father-in-law's beard and tore it hard.

Seeing that his father was humiliated, Yang Wanzhong was furious. He leaned over and picked up a stone and smashed it hard. It hit Yin's forehead. Yin didn't hum and fainted. Yang Wanzhong knew that there was a big disaster and said with a grin, "As long as my father and brother are sound, even if I die, I have no regrets." After saying that, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the well.

After a long time, Yin woke up leisurely. When he heard that Yang Wanzhong was dead, his anger rested a little. Then Yang Wanzhong was buried, and his wife was determined not to marry in order to take care of Xi'er. Yin scolded endlessly, didn't give his wife a meal, and forced her to remarry. The wife had no choice but to leave.

Xi'er was alone and miserable. She was severely beaten by Yin every day. Fortunately, her family pleaded for mercy before she survived. Yin also restrained her diet. Xi'er only relies on cold food every day. Her body is thin and not in human shape. After half a year, her breath is dying.
