Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 275 Niu Ting Chapter

Niu Tingzhang, a cloth merchant in Jiangxi Province, married his wife Zheng and gave birth to two children, a man and a woman. Niu Chengzhang died of illness when he was 32 years old. His son Niu Zhong was only 12 years old at that time, and his daughter was only eight or nine years old. The wife can't keep her virginity, take away the family's wealth, and remarry someone else. It was difficult to survive leaving two orphans. Fortunately, my aunt was kind-hearted and took in Niu Zhong's brother and sister and took good care of them.

My aunt was in her sixties and her family was poor and widowed. A few years later, she died. Niu Zhong gradually grew up and wanted to inherit his father's business, sell cloth and do business, but he had no capital around him. My sister married Mao, a rich businessman, and borrowed dozens of taels of silver with her help.

Niu Zhong took these silver taels and went to Jinling with his friends. On the way, he met a robber. The money was robbed, and a person floated around. On this day, he came to a shop, and there was a owner in the shop, who looked like his biological father. The secret interview with his name is no same as that of his father. Niu Zhong was surprised that he linger in front of the store every day. Although the shopkeeper often saw him, he looked cold and didn't seem to know each other.

In the past three days, the owner's words and deeds were similar to his father's. Niu Zhong was eager to recognize his father, so he recommended himself and went to the store to do chores in the name of his fellow villagers. Sign a contract with each other, and the contract details your place of origin, name and age.

When the shopkeeper saw the content of the contract, he trembled and asked, "Who is your father?" Niu Zhong said it truthfully, and his voice choked. The shopkeeper was sad and asked for a long time, "How's your mother?" Niu Zhong did not dare to say that his father was dead and said, "Since my father went out to do business six years ago, my mother has remarried and left. Thanks to the care of the brother and sister-in-law, otherwise, the bones would have been gone long ago.

The shopkeeper said miserably, "I'm your father." The two shook hands sadly. Niu Chengzhang guided his son to visit his stepmother. His stepmother's surname was Ji. She was in her thirties and had no children. As soon as he saw Niu Zhong, he was very happy and immediately held a banquet.

Since then, Niu Zhong has lived in the store and followed his father to learn how to do business. Niu Tingzhang was depressed all day long. After more than three months, he saw that his son was proficient in business, so he proposed to go back to his hometown.

After Niu Tingzhang left, Niu Zhong said to Ji, "Mother, to tell you the truth, in fact, my father has been dead for a long time, and most of the people in front of him are ghosts." Ji was shocked and said, "Your father has been with me for six years, and there is nothing suspicious about it. How can he be a ghost?" Niu Zhong sighed and now told the truth one by one. When Ji heard the words, she was stunned and half-confident.

After a night, Niu Tingzhang went back, holding a woman in his hand, unkempt, it was Niu Zhong's biological mother Zheng. Niu Tingzhang's face was full of anger. He grabbed Zheng's ear and scolded, "Evil woman, I don't blame you for remarrying, but why do you abandon your children?"

Zheng Shi trembled all over and lay on the ground, not daring to move. Niu Tingzhang opened his mouth and bit his wife's neck. Zheng was in pain and shouted, "Son, help me, help!" Seeing this, Niu Zhong couldn't bear it. He immediately went forward to persuade him to fight and separated his parents with his body. Niu Tingzhang hated himself, but in an instant, Zheng was nowhere to be found.

Everyone was shocked and said one after another, "Daunt to the day." In a blink of an eye, he looked at Niu Tingzhang and saw that his face changed tragically. Suddenly, he turned into a black gas, and his soul was scattered, leaving only a few clothes, shoes and hats. Niu Zhong was shocked and sighed. He silently picked up his father's relics, buried them in the earth, and built a crown tomb.

Later, Niu Zhongzi inherited his father's business, and the business became better and better, and his family was rich. Once I went home to visit my sister and inquired with the villagers that her biological mother was punished to death by Niu Tingzhang.
