Saturday morning was a rare half-day off, and the bedside mobile phone rang before six o'clock. The caller was the mean fat man, the legendary editor-in-chief, and more often than not, we like to call him "Old Watch".

Judging from his usual style, it must be a good thing to come to me at this time, either because I am not in arrears of wages or I have something tricky to do.

My judgment proved to be quite wise, and he did have something to ask of me.

"Hey, hey, Lu Li? Eh, yes, are you up? Answering the phone, the old watch asked.

"Not yet, I stayed up late last night." Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I yawned and said to him.

"Oh my God, why did you stay up late, I didn't tell you you you couldn't stay up late! Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, you hurry up, my brother has something to ask you. I'm short of people here, and there's a clue I want you to help with, how about it, no problem. The old watch said, hehehe, the thief smiled, listening to that tone is not to be rejected at all.

In fact, I know very well that since he used the "rare word" of "asking", the content of the next is definitely not a good thing, listening to his narration, I generally understand what happened, as before, this time the clue is specially provided by the informant who lives in the countryside.

It's funny, the old guy has no other advantages, that is, he has a lot of eyeliner, to put it a little evilly, in this place with a radius of nearly 100 miles, he can know all the big things clearly, not because of how good his popularity is, it's just that this old guy is really willing to spend money, and those clues that are provided by others, once hired, are at least 1,008 yuan, in this place, such a price is really not low.

After talking to him and reluctantly discussing the matter, he sent the informant's phone number, and after making sure that nothing had been missed, I took all the equipment and boarded the morning bus to the place of the incident.

On the way here, I had a phone call with the informant, got a general idea of what had happened, and found a date by the way. The content of the phone call is fairly simple, but that doesn't mean it's not bloody enough.

The place where the incident took place, about 20 kilometers away from me, there is a little-known border town, and there are several small villages on the edge of the town, and most of them are surnamed Zhang, so we all call it Zhangjia Village. The story takes place in that village.

There are three protagonists in the story, one is named Zhang Dakui, one is his daughter-in-law, and the other is her wife.

Zhang Dakui is an honest and honest man, quite responsible, but her daughter-in-law is not honest at all, and she is extremely spicy. Her mother is similar to his daughter-in-law, and she is also very spicy. Generally speaking, two spicy women meet each other either sympathetic or sparks, unfortunately, this time they met the latter.

In this part of China, it is common for parents to be short, stumble, and have a bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is commonplace, isn't it, not long ago the fierce old lady and the spicy daughter-in-law had a quarrel because of some trivial matters, and the two sides insisted on each other's words, and it stands to reason that the mother-in-law always has to take advantage of the daughter-in-law, but Zhang Dakui's daughter-in-law does not have the habit of swallowing her anger and immediately fights back.

So, a miracle appeared, starting from a certain day in a certain month and a certain year, when Zhang Dakui was not there, two equally uneasy women began to compete, at first they were sneering behind the crowd and tearing each other down, and then they tore their faces to scold each other on the street in front of everyone, and in the later stage, it was even more awesome.

The two women scratched each other for a while, the plate of eggs flew all over the sky, they cried while fighting, crying and shouting, and it was extremely scary to hear the ghost crying wolf howling from a distance.

The people in the village heard all the shouts, some watched the excitement, and some were fighting, but no one was okay, and there were more than one or two people making more trouble. Throwing plates and bowls, rolling and tossing all over the ground.

A good deed person found Zhang Dakui who was working outside, Da Kui felt too embarrassed when he heard it, and hurriedly ran home, and when he arrived, the two of them beat like a blood gourd, and even scared and beat his daughter-in-law and pulled away his daughter-in-law for a while of persuasion before the matter was barely calmed down.

Zhang Dakui was very angry, no matter what, the old lady was his own mother. The daughter-in-law beats the old lady, if this is spread out, how can she live as a man?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the thing beat up his daughter-in-law again and ordered her to apologize to the old lady.

In the evening, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was cleaned up and came to the door of her mother-in-law's house with a twist.

As mentioned earlier, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she dare not come because of the yin power of her own man, and in her heart, she is still very unconvinced.

Seeing that the old lady didn't let go of her, she couldn't bear it, and after slamming the door a few times, she kicked the door of the inner room open and pinched her waist and broke in.

The old lady died, hanged herself, and found a hemp rope to hang at the door of the house, and when the woman came, the body was hard.

This incident frightened the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and it didn't take long for the woman to get a strange illness and couldn't afford to get sick, and she couldn't be cured no matter how she treated it. The women who love to chew their tongues say that their daughter-in-law did something wrong, and the old lady came to ask for her life.

If the matter ends here, it will be a family tragedy, but this story is not so simple, because not long after the old lady's death, something unusual happened in their house.

The informant who told me about this was named Zhang Ergou, and he was in the same village as Zhang Dakui, who specialized in white business.

This man is only in his fifties, not tall, his face is full of wrinkles, the whole person looks dark and swarthy, and there is an indescribable sense of philistine under the simple appearance, very cunning. To be honest, I don't like this kind of person, but I don't want to bring this kind of love to work.

At a small local restaurant, we sat down, pulled out our notebooks and wrote down the date, and we started the first conversation of the trip.

Because it's not a meal, there are not many people, and the small restaurant is quiet, which I liked.

"My name is Zhang Ergou, and your editor mentioned you to me." Rubbing his thighs and smiling, he seemed to be close to me.

"Oh, yes." As soon as I heard this, I didn't take it seriously, I heard too much of this kind of politeness, and I wouldn't take it seriously at all. Who would have thought, seeing that I didn't react, the man took out his cigarette and came over, "How is the old watch, how are you doing?" ”
