Chapter 301 Shadow in the Barn

The dark clouds covered the crescent moon, the night was heavy, there were wolves crying in the distant mountains and dogs barking nearby, the weather was already hot and humid, people were irritable, a black shadow quietly appeared in front of the barn next to the brigade headquarters, the donkeys and mules that had been sleeping were startled and stood up, looking at the person in fear.

"Ugh."

The strongest mule was fierce, howling at the black shadow, snorting constantly, digging hard on the ground with all four feet, kicking all the feces and grass foam on the ground onto the person.

"Puh."

The person spat on the ground repeatedly, and the sound startled the old man Sun who was watching the barn. He ran out with a flashlight in his clothes, shone the flashlight towards the barn, and shouted loudly.

"Who's there?"

The wind blew through the branches, making a rustling sound, and it seemed that there was a figure swaying. There was an indescribable weirdness in the air. Old Sun swallowed his saliva, raised the stick in his hand, shone the flashlight at the barn, and walked slowly over.

"Ouch."

A black shadow flew towards his face, and Old Sun was so scared that he fell to the ground. It took him a long time to react. It was a wild cat.

The frightened Old Sun got up from the ground with a flashlight, patted the dirt on his body, and went to check. Several donkeys and mules retreated uneasily under the flashlight, breathing heavily.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

Old Sun took the flashlight and shone it around. He didn't find anything wrong. He comforted them, turned off the flashlight, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

A few minutes later, a black shadow emerged from the trough of the barn, looked at the room where Old Sun was sleeping, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The next morning, the roosters in the village crowed one after another. Zheng Xinyue stretched and got up. As usual, she washed her face and combed her hair in the space, and ate some tomatoes and apples by the way, saving breakfast for the children.

There was a voice outside the house. It seemed to be the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law? It's time to make breakfast. Zheng Xinyue hurriedly put on her clothes and went to the field.

Li Xiuqin looked haggard. She was like a ghost who was bewitched last night, making her husband sleep with his back to her all night. When he got up in the morning, he didn't say a word to her or even look at her. She was panicking.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was worried that her mother-in-law would chase her away. When she came to cook, she would hide behind Li Xiuli quietly and go directly into the kitchen when her mother-in-law wasn't paying attention.

In fact, Gao Guilan had already noticed her little action, but Zheng Dagui had warned her last night, so she was too lazy to pay attention to Li Xiuqin.

In the kitchen, Li Xiuqin was complaining to Li Xiuli in a low voice:

"Xiu Li, we are sisters. When my mother-in-law scolded me, you didn't say anything to help persuade her, but you can't add insult to injury, right?"

"Cousin, you know the temper of my mother-in-law. If I speak for you, she will drive us both out of the Zheng family. You also know the situation in my family. Where can I get extra food? Don't make trouble in the future. Big brother treats you very well. What if he gets annoyed and becomes disloyal to you?"

Li Xiuli washed the wild vegetables and put them aside to sprinkle water. She knew that her cousin would definitely blame her. She had already thought of words to deal with it.

In fact, these are also her true words. How many people in the village envied them for being able to marry into the Zheng family's natal village, but her cousin was just not satisfied.

"Xiu Li, don't say sarcastic words to me. Without me, could you marry Zheng Chenghu? You are so good. Sisters don't say that they take care of each other, but also sabotage me. If I am really driven away by my mother-in-law, will you be fine? She, Chen Sili, is the apple of my mother-in-law's eye. What do you think you are?"

The update is over. Thank you for your support. Good night.
