Chapter 356 Widow

The woman who was speaking leaned in close, with a gossipy air, and said, "Heard he went with Crooked Mouth a few nights back, took advantage of the dark and windy night, and tried to steal some pork from the Li Family. Who knew, not only did they fail to steal any pork, they even bumped into a ghost, and now look, he's scared sick, running a high fever in bed and talking all deliriously."

Upon hearing this, several women immediately responded with disdain, "That Erlaizi, always stealing chickens and dogs in the village, everyone really despises him. I think getting sick from fright serves him right. Who asked him to go and steal from others?"

"Exactly, exactly."

Everyone nodded in agreement, "He's just a rotten apple in our village, disgusting to everyone."

"Deserved, for sure, but, do you think it's true that there's a ghost in Aunt Li's manor?" the woman asked with a gleam in her gossipy eyes, looking around at the group excitedly.

"You believe what Erlaizi says?"
