I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Why did Zhuzhu suddenly faint? Could it be due to malnutrition? Longzhen asked worriedly.

"What are you standing here for? Hurry up and make a cup of brown sugar water for your sister-in-law!"

Old Man Yang stood to the side, trying to comfort Jianmei. Jianmei was heartbroken to see her favorite sister-in-law collapsed on the bed. Being scolded so loudly by her father made her tears fall uncontrollably.

It was Old Man Yang's loud shout that suddenly woke Zhuzhu, who had been unconscious. At that moment, a loud clap of thunder startled Zhuzhu, who threw herself into Longzhen's arms and cried. After crying for a while, Zhuzhu felt the warmth of this embrace, like the feeling of being rocked in someone's arms when she was a child. She saw the kind face she had longed for day and night, but this face was no longer wrinkled and yellowed; instead, it was smooth and flawless, like an eggshell. Seeing her mother's youthful appearance, Zhuzhu cried even harder.

When Longzhen saw Zhuzhu crying so sadly, he grinned.

Oh dear! What's wrong with this child? Why is she crying so sadly after waking up?

"Please don't go! Please don't go! I still want you to stay at my house! You haven't enjoyed our peaceful life yet," Zhuzhu pleaded.

"You and I fought together for the family planning policy back then, you suffered so much! You endured so many hardships! My dear mother, you never had a good husband in your life..."

Upon hearing Zhuzhu's words, Old Man Yang couldn't help but step forward and slap her hard. Because Old Man Yang used too much force, Zhuzhu immediately fainted again.

Old Man Yang said, "Sister, brother, why did my daughter suddenly faint? Is it because it's too hot today? By the way, my daughter has been planting rice seedlings in the field all afternoon. Could that be related?"

The girl said that Zhuzhu has low blood sugar! You need to prepare more nutritious food for her! She also has a bit of heatstroke; after all, standing under the scorching sun all afternoon, it's no wonder she gets heatstroke...

Old Man Yang said, "When she first woke up, she talked a lot of nonsense. What was the reason? Could it be that she attracted some unclean spirits in the fields?"

The girl said, "I don't know about that! You should observe her condition first. If she wakes up again and doesn't say anything strange, then she's fine. If she does, you'll have to ask your family's spiritual master for help!"

Just then, Jianmei suddenly felt Zhuzhu move, and she happily exclaimed, "Sister-in-law is awake! Sister-in-law is awake! Sister-in-law is awake!"

"Dad, I'm fine! I just have a little low blood sugar, a little brown sugar water will do! Let's not trouble the master." Zhuzhu shook her head at Old Man Yang.

At this moment, Longzhen carried a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, sat down next to Zhuzhu, and gave the brown sugar ginger soup to Zhuzhu to drink.

Jianmei said, "Sister-in-law, why did you faint just now? You scared us to death!"

Old Man Yang glared at Jianmei. "Girls, don't keep talking about death all the time! Go and process the snails and small fish you just caught. I'm inviting some relatives and friends from Jiekou over for dinner tonight."

Zhuzhu waved to Jianmei, signaling her to come over.

Jianmei knew what her sister-in-law meant, so she walked over to Zhuzhu, bent down, and put her ear close to Zhuzhu's mouth.

Longzhen saw her two beloved daughters whispering to each other, so she pushed her husband out of the room with both hands.

Longzhen pushed her husband while whispering to him, "Let's go out for a bit and let the two of them have a private chat. You know, our chubby girl loves to stick close to her sister-in-law."

Old Man Yang said, "Yes, yes! You don't know, many people in our village have asked me if Zhuzhu is our biological daughter. Some people even envy us for having such a sensible and well-behaved daughter-in-law!"

Longzhen nodded with a smile: Yes! I also really like our good daughter-in-law, so I have always treated Zhuzhu as our own daughter.

Old Man Yang said, "I heard Zhuzhu singing some nonsensical songs when she woke up, and it made me feel very sad! The songs Zhuzhu sang really sounded like what some people said at the funeral."

Longzhen said, "You know what, it really does look like it! Do you think Zhuzhu might have really encountered something evil?"

Old Man Yang said, "Now that you mention it, it reminds me of something. One evening, when I came back from Guangming Village, I saw an old man from our village burning paper money near our fields. I went over to ask him what was wrong, and it turned out he was the old man's grandson. Not long ago, he had come to play near our fields, and after returning home, he seemed to have lost his soul. The family was terrified and quickly invited a shaman to come to their home to perform rituals."

Longzhen said, "I heard about this too! Yesterday morning, Jin came to wash clothes in the ditch in front of our house with a bucket of laundry and mentioned it as well. She said, 'That child has some kind of illness! Whenever he gets excited or catches a cold, he faints. We were just unlucky! The child happened to be playing near our fields when he had his episode.'"

Old Man Yang said, "People who don't know the situation would naturally wonder if there's some kind of evil spirit living in our field."

Longzhen said that in the village, there are always some people who have nothing to do all day and love to gossip.

Inside the room, Jianmei saw that her parents had gone out, so she hurriedly picked up Zhuzhu.

Jianmei said, "My dear sister-in-law! You just scared me! Do you know that what you just said was a mournful song sung by the closest relatives when they are heartbroken after their elders have passed away?"

Zhuzhu was overwhelmed with emotion when she saw Jianmei hugging her! Jianmei had been gone for 10 years, and Zhuzhu often missed her, so she couldn't express her feelings in words. She simply held Jianmei tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

When a tear from Zhuzhu fell onto Jianmei's clothes, Jianmei seemed to sense something and glanced at Zhuzhu.

Jianmei said, "My dear sister-in-law, why have you been crying all day?"

Zhuzhu said she was so happy to see you that she couldn't help but cry.

Zhuzhu was about to say something when Old Man Yang, standing in the courtyard, shouted, "What are you two brats doing hiding upstairs? Sit down!"

Are you in postpartum confinement? Come down quickly and help process the snails and small fish you caught. I'll head to Jiekou right away and invite our relatives and friends over for a drink.

Jianmei responded loudly, "Oh! Dad, we'll come down and help right away."

Zhuzhu said, "Don't argue with Dad later! Make him happy, he'll be very busy tonight because he's hosting a dinner party! So we need to do more to help Yiyao."
