When the whole family gathered together for breakfast, whenever Su Miaomiao mentioned having nightmares, Zhang Xing would ask first.

"Sister-in-law, is the nightmare getting worse again?"

"Ah."

Seeing Su Miaomiao nodded, Zhang Xing frowned slightly and said, "Give me your wrist."

Su Miaomiao put her wrist on the table without saying a word.

Zhang Xing took her pulse and then said.

"It's not very good, but it's okay. I'm still short of a few medicines. If you have time, please accompany me to the county pharmacy."

When Xiao Yunfei learned that Su Miaomiao's condition was not good, his face changed suddenly.

He immediately changed his plan and discussed it with Su Miaomiao.

"After dinner, let's go to the county with Zhang Xing to find medicine. Don't go up the mountain yet. Your matter is more important."

Su Miaomiao thought so too, and she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, after we finish taking the medicine, we'll drive to the county."

Su Miaomiao said as she shifted her gaze to Zhang Xing and asked.

"Is it easy to buy the medicine we need?"

"They are all common medicines, so they should be easy to buy. However, the quantity we need is quite large, so I'm afraid the pharmacy doesn't have that much. If that doesn't work, we can just go to a few more pharmacies."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Think about what else we need and buy them all at once."

"I know, I know what's going on."

After they discussed it, Su Miaomiao looked at the five children at the table and asked.

"My dears, do you want to take the bus with us to the county, or stay at home and let my neighbor Grandma Yang help take care of you?"

The children looked at each other, and then the eldest child Xiao Jing said.

"Mom, we want to be with you."

"Okay, but I have to tell you in advance that we are going out to do some serious work this time. We may not have time to take you shopping or sightseeing. We will basically just be riding in the car the whole time. Even so, do you still want to go with us?"

When the children heard Su Miaomiao say this, they nodded and said they wanted to follow.

In this case, Su Miaomiao agreed directly. There were enough seats in the car anyway, so she just took the children for a ride and had fun.

After dinner, Su Miaomiao's family packed up simply and immediately got in the van and set off together.

Xiao Yunfei's injuries have basically healed. After he recovered, he rushed to do any work, for fear of tiring Su Miaomiao.

When they went there, Xiao Yunfei drove and Su Miaomiao sat in the passenger seat.

As soon as the car drove out of the village, the children clamored for Su Miaomiao to tell them stories.

They were particularly interested in the story that Su Miaomiao had told them in the car before, and now even Zhang Xing and Xiao Yunfei were clamoring to listen to the story.

Since they were free anyway, Su Miaomiao just spoiled them and agreed immediately.

She thought about it and said.

"Today I'm going to tell you something different. How about telling you a ghost story first?"

No one dislikes the stories told by Su Miaomiao, and everyone agreed with them.

Su Miaomiao slapped her thigh and said.

"Okay, then I'll start. Today I'm going to talk about the most famous ghost story in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, The Painted Skin."

"Once upon a time there was a man named Wang Sheng, a scholar from Taiyuan. One morning he was walking on the road and met a beautiful girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old..."

The story begins with Su Miaomiao's narration.

As the story progressed, everyone in the car pricked up their ears and listened attentively, completely absorbed in the story.

Everyone was still immersed in the story until it was finished.

Su Miaomiao clapped her hands and said.

"Okay, now that this story is over, what do you think? We can share it."

Everyone came to their senses.

Xiao Yunfei saw from the rearview mirror that everyone was thinking, so he spoke.

"I think this story tells us a truth: evil will be punished. The evil ghost was eventually subdued by the Taoist priest because he had done too many evil things."

After Xiao Yunfei finished speaking, he deliberately paused to see the children's reactions.

He knew that Su Miaomiao wanted to inspire the children with this story, so he wanted to guide the children to continue.

At this time, the second brother Xiao Zhong raised his hand and said.

"Besides what my father said about evil being punished, I also think good is rewarded. Wang Sheng's wife Chen was kind and loyal. Because she was willing to endure humiliation to save Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng was finally resurrected."

Su Miaomiao was very satisfied after hearing this and she gave Xiao Zhong a thumbs up.

"My son is so smart. What he said is so right. In summary, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. We cannot control others in this world, but we can choose what kind of person we want to be. Being a kind person may not be rewarded immediately, but the peace and satisfaction in our hearts cannot be measured by material things. From now on, each of us must work hard to become a kind person, okay?"

Before Su Miaomiao finished speaking, the children rushed to speak.

"it is good!"

"I also want to be a kind person. Even if I get nothing, I will always be kind. I believe that kind people will definitely have good results."

"Me too. I also want to be a kind person. I think my sister is a kind person, my mother is also a kind person, my father and uncle are all kind people, and everyone in my family is very kind."

"God will definitely help kind people, I believe!"

"I believe too."

The children spoke with emotion.

Su Miaomiao listened patiently, and waited until the children had finished speaking before she asked.

"Besides the fact that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, do you have anything else to say after listening to this story?"

Su Miaomiao observed the children's reactions and began to guide them.

"Why do you think Wang Sheng had this experience? Why was he killed?"

As soon as the question was asked, Xiao Jing was the first to answer.

"Because Wang Sheng encountered a female ghost."

Su Miaomiao asked again pretending to be confused.

"Is it just because he encountered a female ghost? But it did remind him."

Under the guidance of Su Miaomiao, the third brother Xiao Bao said.

"Because he coveted the beauty of the female ghost."

The fifth brother, Xiao Yong, echoed.

"Second brother is right. Wang Sheng brought the female ghost home because he thought she was pretty. He didn't realize that the person he brought home was a female ghost."

The fourth brother Xiao Guo said.

"I think the most important thing is that the female ghost brought the painted skin and dressed herself up as a beautiful woman, so Wang Sheng was fooled."

The second brother Xiao Zhong said.

"It's not just because of the ghost. If Wang Sheng didn't believe in the ghost and didn't take advantage of her beauty and bring her home, this wouldn't have happened."

Xiao Jing answered.

"Yes, Wang Shenghu is such a jerk. He believes whatever people say. If he didn't believe in female ghosts, he wouldn't have died."

Under Su Miaomiao's guidance, the children bravely spoke out what they were thinking.

Su Miaomiao listened patiently and then concluded.

"You are all right. My babies are all very smart. Let's analyze them point by point."
