Chapter 98: Are you casting another curse on me?
The Zhang family looked at her as if she were a madwoman. The three sisters-in-law exchanged a glance and then left, knowing it was inappropriate for them to interfere in their sister-in-law's affairs.
Zhang Gang advised, "Caixia, we know you really want to marry Zhao Feng, but the Zhao family's old house has already arranged a marriage with the Jiang family. Zhao Feng will come to marry Jiang Cuier on the eighteenth."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Brother Feng said he would bring a dowry of twenty taels of silver and a grand sedan chair carried by eight men to marry me. He could never marry Jiang Cuier!
Zhang Caixia jumped up from the stool in anger, her face full of disbelief.
"It's that vixen Jiang Cuier again! She actually tried to steal my man! I'll scratch her face until it's bruised and battered!"
After saying that, Zhang Caixia was about to rush out to find Jiang Cuier.
Zhang's father quickly shouted, "Stop her!"
The Jiang family and the Zhang family are from the same village, so they see each other all the time.
Moreover, he had heard about the Zhao family's old residence sending betrothal gifts to the Jiang family. It was the matchmaker, You, who personally delivered them. Furthermore, the Zhao family's old residence gave the Jiang family an extra three taels of silver to help with the wedding arrangements.
It's clear that the Zhao family's old residence genuinely wants to marry the Jiang family as soon as possible. Caixia's actions at this time not only make her lose face but also make her a laughingstock.
It will be difficult for him to find a husband in Heiniu Village or even in the surrounding villages.
The three Zhang brothers quickly stopped her: "Caixia, calm down. Zhao Feng really wants to marry Jiang Cuier. Don't be ridiculous."
If you ask me, Zhao Feng is a bastard. He lied to you, so don't hang yourself on this crooked tree.
"You're so naive to believe his nonsense about a twenty-tael dowry and an eight-bearer sedan chair. How could that be possible?"
Zhang Caixia's eyes were filled with anxiety; only she knew exactly what was going on.
These two conditions were not proposed by Zhao Feng; they were promised to her by that woman. She believed that as long as she told Zhao Feng, he would definitely agree and fulfill his promise.
Zhang Caixia lowered her eyes to look at her wrist at the cuff of her sleeve. If you looked closely, you would find that there was a layer of patterns on her wrist that looked like fungi.
She only agreed to let that woman help her so that Zhao Feng would marry her on February 28th with a dowry of twenty taels of silver and a sedan chair carried by eight men!
She said angrily, "You promised you would help me! Is this how you promised to make Zhao Feng marry me?"
He's about to marry someone else. What am I to him? A joke?
A moment later, the female voice in her mind rang out again: "Someone has severed my control over Zhao Feng."
They didn't get married until they were eighteen. If you go to Zhao Feng now, it's not too late. I can put Zhao Feng back under my control.
She just needed Zhang Caixia to make another wish so that she could completely possess Zhang Caixia's body!
Zhang Caixia said angrily, "Then I'll trust you one more time!"
Zhang's father, Zhang Gang, and their two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to Zhang Caixia standing there talking to herself: Was Caixia driven mad by Zhao Feng?
The next moment, they saw Zhang Caixia about to walk outside again, and the three Zhang brothers hurriedly stopped her again in fear.
Zhang Caixia frowned and explained, "I won't scratch Hua Jiangcui's face. Can I go find Zhao Feng and demand an explanation?"
The three Zhang brothers dared not make the decision themselves, and they looked at their father.
Mr. Zhang nodded and instructed the three Zhang brothers to follow along, in case Zhang Caixia caused any trouble, and also to check if what Zhang Caixia said was true.
Before long, the four siblings arrived at Zhao Family Village.
The hailstorm in Zhao Village had just stopped, and the temperature quickly rose, the cold and stiff air gradually becoming soft and warm.
Under the warm sun, the remaining icicles under the eaves dripped water droplets.
The hailstones of varying sizes on the ground melted into ice water, seeping into the soil, making the ground muddy and wet.
Zhao Feng was busy in the medicinal herb field, picking all the straw mats from the thirty mu of medicinal herb fields.
As temperatures rise, the herbs will suffer heat damage if the straw mats are not removed quickly.
Although we are about to get married, this matter is urgent and must be completed immediately.
Just as Zhao Feng was busy with work, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice:
"Zhao Feng, on the eighteenth of February, bring twenty taels of betrothal gifts and come to my house in a sedan chair carried by eight men to marry me!"
Zhao Feng turned his head to look to his side and saw that Zhang Caixia had come to his side at some point.
Behind her were her three brothers, who looked extremely embarrassed and awkward.
Zhang Gang and the other two felt extremely shameless after hearing Zhang Caixia's words.
Not far away, Zhao Daqiang and Zhao Sanshi were also busy dismantling the straw mat. When they saw Zhang Caixia coming again, they were afraid that Zhang Caixia would curse Zhao Feng again!
Zhao Feng opened his mouth, as if he was about to agree to Zhang Caixia's shameless request again.
The two were extremely anxious and rushed over here!
"Xiao Feng, don't listen to her nonsense!"
Just then, Zhao Feng felt a sudden warmth in his chest, and his previously dull eyes instantly became clear.
He reached into his robes and immediately touched a handful of ashes.
He immediately remembered what Peach Blossom Sister had said before: a talisman could help him block one curse.
Once the talisman turns to ashes, it means that the talisman has helped him block one curse.
He looked at Zhang Caixia in horror: "Are you going to curse me again?"
As if he had seen a ghost, he turned and ran in the opposite direction, keeping a safe distance from Zhang Caixia!
This time, he not only had to stay far away, but also had to avoid hearing Zhang Caixia's voice.
He felt that Zhang Caixia's voice had a kind of magic power; as long as he heard it, he would be controlled by her!
When Zhao Daqiang and Zhao Sanshi arrived, they both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Zhao Feng had not been successfully cursed by Zhang Caixia.
They covered Zhao Feng's escape, making sure he ran far away and giving Zhang Caixia no chance to get close.
Xiao Feng only has ten peace talismans on him. If he uses up all ten talismans, won't he have to listen to Zhang Caixia's nonsense again?
Why are you blocking my way? Let me through!
Zhang Caixia was extremely anxious as she watched Zhao Feng run further and further away.
But the two of them stood like a wall, blocking her way and refusing to let her pass.
Suddenly, everything went black, and she fell backward.
Upon seeing this, the three Zhang brothers, who had been standing quietly behind, rushed forward to support her: "Caixia! Caixia, what's wrong?"
Zhang Caixia had her eyes tightly closed and remained completely still, as if she were dead.
Seeing this, the Zhao brothers, Daqiang and Sanshi, immediately raised their hands in alarm and declared:
"We didn't touch her, she fainted on her own, it has nothing to do with us!"
Zhang Li angrily cursed, "If you hadn't stopped my Caixia, would she have fainted from anger?"
"How can you say that? She's shamelessly trying to marry my son. I already have a prospective daughter-in-law who's about to move in."
How could I possibly let other girls ruin my son's marriage?
Zhao Daqiang replied.
Just as Zhang Li was about to say something more, he suddenly heard a terrified voice from behind him.
"What...what is this? How come Caixia has these things on her face? And her hands are covered in them too!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li turned around and was shocked to see that meandering mycelium was gradually climbing up Zhang Caixia's entire face, like a layer of pale yellow silk covering her face.
