The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 15: Finding the Jinx

“Uncle, Er Gou Zi ran away,” a 15-year-old teenager answered.

“What? He ran away?!” Lin Dawei shouted at the teenager beside him.

The villagers heard from the children that Lin Yuelan had died and returned from the grave to capture Er Gou Zi.

“Dad. Lin Yuelan is dead. She became a powerful ghost.”

“Mom, the jinx is dead. She’s back to haunt Er Gou Zi.”

“Grandpa, Er Gou Zi was captured and eaten by the jinx.”

When the villagers heard that the jinx was dead, they were happy. With the jinx gone, the village should be safe.

However, the rest of the statement made them anxious.

Er Gou Zi was captured?

The villagers were furious.

The jinx should have died, but why did she need to come back to capture Er Gou Zi?

When Er Gou Zi’s parents heard that the jinx had taken their son away, they became anxious and immediately gathered the villagers to snatch Er Gou Zi back.

The jinx was dead and had become a ghost.

Weren’t these villagers afraid?

Of course, they were afraid.

Who wasn’t afraid of ghosts?

But they were even more afraid that the jinx would come back to take revenge on the village.

In the past few years, both adults and children had bullied and harmed Lin Yuelan. Their goal was simple. They wanted to force Lin Yuelan to death.

They didn’t dare to kill Lin Yuelan directly. They were afraid of divine punishment, like what Lin Mingqing had said. Since Lin Yuelan was a jinx who would harm her husband, she needed to fulfill her destiny first before the villagers dared to kill her. If not, the village might have another Lin Yuelan.

Of course, they were not afraid of having another jinx. They could just kill the new jinx. But they were afraid that the family that killed Lin Yuelan would give birth to the new jinx. That was a result no family wanted.

Therefore, the villagers tried to figure out ways to force Lin Yuelan to leave the village or kill herself. Then it wouldn’t be their fault anymore.

No one expected the jinx to be so resilient. No matter how hard they bullied her, Lin Yuelan refused to die.

Now that the children came back to announce that the jinx was dead, the villagers were glad and relieved. However, before they could enjoy the relief, they received another terrifying news.

The jinx had returned as a ghost and had captured Er Gou Zi!

According to rural legend, ghosts would become stronger after they feasted on humans. If Er Gou Zi was eaten, the jinx would become powerful and take revenge on the village. Especially those who had once bullied her!

To ensure that didn’t happen, Er Gou Zi’s parents and most villagers grabbed their hoes, shovels, and wooden sticks and rushed to the place the children mentioned.

However, on the way there, they bumped into Er Gou Zi, who was so scared that he had lost all color on his face.

After confirming that Er Gou Zi was still human, Er Gou Zi’s father, Lin Zhong, immediately asked, “Er Gou Zi, are you alright?”

Er Gou Zi shook his head and said, “Dad, I’m fine.”

“Er Gou Zi, weren’t you captured by the jinx’s ghost?” Lin Dawei asked, “How did you escape?”

Er Gou Zi’s face was pale, and his entire body was trembling. He stuttered, “She... She let me go...” Then, I escaped. He didn’t say the latter half of the sentence because he was too scared.

Lin Chong frowned and asked, “She let you go?”

Er Gou Zi was silent.

Dawei said, “Where... where is that jinx?”

“In... in... in front.”

“Er Gou Zi, let’s go. We’ll look for her together,” Lin Dawei said.

They hauled Er Gou Zi along. However, Er Gou Zi was too afraid. When no one paid attention, he sneaked away.

The jinx wasn’t at the location the children said she had died. Lin Dawei told the villagers, “Everyone, let’s split up.” However, who dared to split up at that moment?

“Uncle Dawei, I think we should stick together,” Lin Sinui, Lin Yuelan’s biological uncle, said nervously, “The ghost is haunting the land even though the sun is up. This means that she is powerful. We shouldn’t separate.” In case something happened.

Lin Sinui didn’t want to face the ghost alone because he was guilty. Even though Lin Yuelan had been cut off from their family, Lin Sinui still thought Lin Yuelan was the reason couldn’t get married.

Two years ago, with Lin Siniu’s complaints and the gazes from the villagers, Lin Laosan and his wife finally forked out the dowry money and got Lin Siniu a wife from the neighboring village.

Lin Siniu got married only one year after Lin Yuelan cut off her ties with the Lin Family. This confirmed the claim that she was a jinx. Of course, the issue of whether the wife was good or not would be discussed in the future.

In any case, Lin Sinui despised his niece a lot.

He often said hatefully, “If it weren’t for this jinx, my children would be working for me in the fields already!”

He needed a place to vent. Thus, Lin Yuelan became his punching bag.

Whenever he was unhappy, he would find Lin Yuelan to scold her. Sometimes, he would even beat her until she couldn’t get out of bed.

Because of this, Lin Siniu was scared. If Lin Yuelan really came back as a ghost, she would seek revenge on him first. Therefore, he would never split up from the crowd.

Lin Dawei raised his head and looked at the scorching sun. After pondering for a while, he said, “Alright, everyone, we shan’t separate. Let’s search together so that we don’t get into trouble.”

Many people like Li Siniu, who had a guilty conscience, felt relieved.

At that moment, someone shouted in shock, “Look, who is that? Is that the jinx?”
