Very Strange

The moment she coughed, Mrs. Lin smug expression suddenly changed. She jumped away as if she had seen something terrifying and stuttered, “I… I still have something to do at home. My child’s father is waiting for me to go home and cook. I’ll go back first. Please let Jiang Xi rest well. Three-legged toads were hard to find, but weren’t there plenty of two-legged men? Tell Jiang Xi to get over it!” After saying that, she took her two dumbfounded sons and ran away. From the back, she looked as if a ghost was chasing her. It was evident how powerful Jiang Xi was!

Yang Fen hugged Jiang Xi and cried for a while more before carrying the thin Jiang Xi into the room. At this moment, Jiang Xi’s breathing was very weak, and his body was cold. Yang Fen could not help but cry again. Her daughter’s health was getting worse and worse. She had to rely on the medicinal liquid to keep her alive. Her marriage was going through a lot of twists and turns… What was she going to do in the future?

It was already a little cold in October, but Yang Fen did not think that Jiang Xi, who was so weak that she was almost out of breath, would lose her life. She remembered that when Jiang Xi was born, it happened to be the birthday of the Goddess of Happiness in the temple in town. Jiang Xi and the Goddess of Happiness had the same birthday! This made Yang Fen particularly proud. She felt that her daughter was absolutely blessed, but this marriage was too unsuccessful.

Jiang Xi hung herself for the first time in the village’s richest family, Old Ma’s family. Old Ma’s family had just built a new house. The beams of the house were extremely strong and would not shake even if five or six strong men were hung on it. At that time, Jiang Xi’s engagement was called off for the first time, and it was her playmate with who she had been close when she was young. Jiang Xi was sad and had the idea of committing suicide. After much consideration, she chose Old Ma’s house’s beam. Jiang Xi had never lived in a good place before she died, so she had the idea of choosing a rich family after her death. Therefore, she hung the rope on the beam of Old Ma’s House while the moon was dark and the wind was strong. To her surprise, as soon as Jiang Xi hung it on her neck, the new and strong roof beam of old Ma’s House cracked with a loud crack! Jiang Xi’s first attempt at hanging herself was also a failure because the beam of Old Ma’s new house was shattered.

For the second time, Jiang Xi deliberately chose an old beam that was known to be thick and strong. Then, she hung herself on it. Unexpectedly, the beam collapsed as soon as she got on it and even injured the landlord who had tried to stop Jiang Xi from hanging herself. Jiang Xi, who was so thin that she could fall with the slightest breeze, got up on her own, dusted off her skirt, and left. The 1.8-meter-tall landlord had been lying in bed for half a month!

As a result, the entire Happy Village felt that Jiang Xi was strange and guarded against her as if she was a thief. They were afraid that she would come to their house to hang herself. Jiang Xi did not think too much about it. After breaking two beams, she thought that she was too heavy. So, after the third engagement, she went to hang herself after starving for three days. Jiang Xi thought that she had to hang herself, so she broke the beam of the Lin family’s house …

Later on, someone was curious and went to study the broken beam. The beam was so thick that even five or six strong men hanging together could not break it! So, how did Jiang Xi manage to break it? Moreover, she broke them three times!

Yang Fen did not dare to overthink it. Her daughter, Jiang Xi, was now famous for being a widow. If there were more rumors about her, she would not be able to get married. Her mother-in-law was already at odds with her because of this. She disliked Jiang Xi more and more. After all, she was a monster who had hung herself three times and still did not die! Who knew what she had on her?

Jiang Xi’s hanging had become the talk of the town in Happy Village, and the more they talked about it, the more mysterious it became. Under the lush old willow tree at the village entrance, a group of men smoking tobacco and women sitting on small stools picking vegetables was chatting and sighing. Jiang Xi’s fate was really full of ups and downs. During the first engagement, her fiancé was seduced by another young lady not long after. During the second engagement, her fiancé ran away with another woman. During the third engagement, it was heard that the man was promiscuous outside and another pregnant lady came to look for him. Sigh… People really could not see through Jiang Xi’s fate.

The outside world said that Jiang Xi was not blessed, and they must be somewhat credible. Otherwise, why would her marriage always be full of twists and turns? Every engagement was broken, and every time she hung herself, she did not die. Was this good luck or bad luck? The people of the Happy Village were a little conflicted, but without exception, they were all on guard against Jiang Xi, afraid that she would take a fancy to their house’s beam!
