sjar Chapter 15: Everyone was horrified
Chapter 15: Everyone was horrified
She was already feeling unwell because of her period, and this little dog was still talking to her about menstrual fluids.
How could there possibly be a menstrual spirit in this world!
Zhao Taohua ignored Old Lady Sun's foul language and instead comforted Grandma Feng and the others:
"Don't worry, everyone. This menstrual spirit won't shorten anyone's lifespan. However, once someone is entangled by the menstrual spirit, their vital energy will be drained, and they will experience level 10 menstrual cramps, spending their lives in endless pain until they die!"
Upon hearing Zhao Taohua's words, everyone frowned and their hair stood on end; this was too terrifying.
"How did Grandma Sun get entangled with this menstrual spirit?" someone asked.
Zhao Taohua stared at Grandma Sun on the bed and said, "Perhaps my grandmother picked up a good piece of cloth from somewhere again? And that cloth is a menstrual cloth from a very, very long time ago."
When Grandma Sun heard Zhao Taohua's words, a look of surprise flashed across her weak eyes. She had actually guessed right.
She even suspected that Zhao Taohua might have seen her pick up that nice piece of cloth.
She said, "How could such fine fabric be dyed in a red and pink pattern?"
Because it was so beautiful, she couldn't bear to give it to her youngest son, so she kept it for herself and pieced it together with other fabrics to make herself a pair of underpants.
However, when she heard Zhao Taohua say that it was a menstrual cloth, Grandma Sun felt a chill run down her spine.
She hurriedly instructed Wang, "Quickly, go and throw away that pink floral-patterned underpants from my trunk!!!"
Everyone was shocked: Peach Blossom had predicted everything!
Grandma Sun actually took a menstrual cloth and sewed it into underwear.
Wang's vision went completely black, and she almost fainted.
My mother-in-law actually made me touch the underwear that had menstrual blood on it. Although I didn't want to, I could only let my mother-in-law torment me because she was my daughter-in-law.
The mother-in-law had previously given Sanshi a linen garment, which was the clothes of a dead person, and it almost killed Sanshi.
Now I've picked up an old menstrual cloth, which has caused me to start menstruating again in my fifties.
Wang was truly terrified of Old Lady Sun, who kept picking up all sorts of dirty things of dubious origin, harming both herself and others!
Wang grabbed the corner of the underpants and threw it away, but Grandma Sun still suffered unbearable lower abdominal pain.
She angrily retorted, "Little dog, are you lying to me? I threw it away, why are you still so upset?"
Zhao Taohua found her ignorance amusing.
"Grandma, you've already worn those panties made of menstrual fluid, so what difference does it make whether you throw them away or not? They're still on you right now!"
Upon hearing this, the timid villagers trembled with fear and hid behind the crowd, only peeking out half their heads.
Zhao Xiangping advised, "Madam Sun, give Tao Hua a total of twenty taels, including the ten taels from this morning, and ask her to help you get rid of this menstrual blood."
Everyone has witnessed Peach Blossom's magical abilities.
After Zhao Xiangping finished speaking, Grandma Feng was the first to voice her support.
If it weren't for Peach Blossom this morning, that old woman would have had her lifespan shortened!
Old Mrs. Sun's face was extremely ugly. It was twenty taels of silver, not twenty coins. Did she really think twenty taels was as cheap as cabbage?
But the pain in her lower abdomen was making it impossible for her to endure any longer. She forced herself to bargain, saying, "Twenty taels isn't available, only two taels..."
Just as Grandma Sun was about to say something more, Zhao Taohua unexpectedly agreed.
"Alright, but it's not that I don't trust you, Grandma, it's just that I trust a written agreement more than empty words!"
After saying that, Zhao Taohua said to the village chief, "Grandpa Village Chief, could you please write an IOU for my grandma?"
The village chief was pleased with Zhao Taohua's intelligence, but dealing with someone like Granny Sun required evidence.
Otherwise, once she's fully recovered, how could she possibly acknowledge the eighteen taels of debt?
"to make!"
While the village chief went home to get paper and pen, Zhao Taohua reached out to Grandma Sun: "Grandma, please give me those two taels of silver first!"
Grandma Sun was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She couldn't let this little dog suffer even the slightest loss!
Reluctantly, she took out a key from her person and asked Wang to take out two taels of silver from a wooden box inside the bed to give to Zhao Taohua.
Wang's lips twitched uncontrollably, the wrinkles around them as deep as ravines.
Yesterday it was ten taels, today it's two taels. If this continues, Zhao Taohua will surely empty the Zhao family's old house of all its wealth.
Zhao Taohua was overjoyed to receive the two taels of silver. She said that there was plenty of time, and that Grandma Sun would eventually come up with the money.
And here we are, another two taels of silver!
There's also an IOU for eighteen taels of silver with Grandma Sun's fingerprint on it!
With everything in black and white, Grandma Sun can't possibly renege on her debt later!
Zhao Taohua carefully put the IOU away.
Seeing Zhao Taohua's actions, Old Lady Sun said, "If you can't get rid of the menstrual blood in my body, you have to return the two taels of silver and the eighteen taels of IOU to me!"
Zhao Taohua smiled and said, "Grandma, that's impossible, because I will definitely get rid of the menstrual blood in your body."
As she spoke, she quickly drew talismans on Grandma Sun's face with a brush dipped in cinnabar. The hot touch made Grandma Sun feel as if she had been burned.
"Hiss..." Grandma Sun cried out in alarm, "Little dog, what are you doing?"
The last stroke of Zhao Taohua's calligraphy extends from her chin down to her lower abdomen!
The moment the talisman was completed, everyone immediately saw a huge, blood-red cloth fly out from Old Lady Sun's body, its size being about the size of a bed.
Its colors were so bright that they gave everyone the creeps.
Several women nearby screamed in surprise.
Aunt Zheng covered her mouth, her eyes unblinking, as if she had been frozen in place, with only her chest heaving violently.
Having lived most of his life, Zhao Xiangping had never witnessed such a terrifying scene before. He exclaimed in horror, "Could this be menstrual spirit?"
The moment the giant red cloth flew up as if trying to escape, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.
They were terrified that the red cloth would run away, and even more afraid that it would fly towards them!
Just then, Zhao Taohua reached out with her bare hands and grabbed the huge red cloth in one swift motion!
In an instant, the red cloth transformed into a graceful woman wearing a blood-red dress, the color of which resembled congealed blood, exuding an eerie aura.
She wore a crown woven from red and white flowers, and a white shawl draped over her shoulders; the flowers were so vibrant they looked as if they had just bloomed from fresh blood.
Her face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, with sunken cheeks and dark circles around her eyes. Her gaze held a chilling indifference and deathly stillness.
With eerie red and black lips, sharp, hook-like nails, and an aura of coldness emanating from his body, he seemed to have come from the underworld!
Instantly, everyone fled from the main room in terror, even Old Lady Sun scrambled off the bed.
"This this……"
Grandma Sun stared wide-eyed at the thing that had come out of her body, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
This time it's actually true!
She actually saw menstrual blood with her own eyes!!!
"Oh my goodness!" Old Mrs. Sun gripped the wall and looked anxiously into the main room.
That menstrual spirit looks quite scary; I wonder if Peach Blossom can subdue it.
