Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Wufu Harms Me

The Zhou family was thrown into chaos, slamming the front gate shut, blocking the curious onlookers from outside.

However, the crowd didn’t disperse; they listened to the commotion inside. Such a scandal was a once-in-a-century event.

Peasants didn’t have much in the way of entertainment, they thrived on all sorts of gossip, and enjoyed watching the disputes within other families.

And the Old Zhou family—recently, there had indeed been no shortage of events. Just a while ago, they had held a grand feast to celebrate Zhou Xuennian passing the imperial examination. The pride they showed, oh how it turned others green with envy!

However, it was this Scholar Master’s son who had caused such an indignity that people couldn’t sleep, finding the excitement more interesting.

Old Lady Zhou watched Zhou Dajun screaming madly, instructing her sons, pointing towards the well in the courtyard, "Drench him, drench him. Soak him until he comes to his senses."

Zhou Xueli busily drew two buckets of well water. It was deep autumn now, and it had gotten cool in the early morning and evening. The well water was even more bone-chilling.

Zhou Xuennian held Zhou Dajun’s shoulders down, while Zhou Xueli carried the bucket of water and poured it over his head.

Being doused with the icy well water, Zhou Dajun shivered violently, and his mad shouting ceased.

"Continue!" Old Lady Zhou’s hands trembled as she looked at her grandson as if he were something filthy.

Madam Lu was both heartbroken and furious, sitting on the ground beating her thighs and wailing, "My son, what sin have you committed? Who has cursed you like this?"

"Shut your mouth!" Old Lady Zhou ordered, her voice quavering, then yelled, "Where are the chopsticks?"

"Mother, here are the chopsticks!" Lady Liang, pregnant, came over with a pair of red chopsticks.

Old Lady Zhou snatched them away, saying, "You step back." She then went over, had Zhou Xuennian pinch Zhou Dajun’s fingers, and she forcefully squeezed his middle finger with the chopsticks.

"Damnable Evil Cult, all sorts of evil spirits, appear and leave at once, do not cling to my grandson," Old Lady Zhou muttered as she forcefully pinched, speaking in an incantation.

Zhou Dajun screamed in agony like a pig.

Zhou Xiuer was awakened by the commotion, peering out the window only to be overwhelmed with terror.

Wasn’t her eldest brother at her uncle’s house? Why had he come home at this time? What were grandma and dad doing? With grandma acting like this, it seemed like she was performing an exorcism?

Zhou Xiuer, frightened, turned pale, quickly closed the window, ran back to her bed, pulled the covers over her head, and shivered uncontrollably.

In the courtyard, after Old Lady Zhou had pinched Zhou Dajun’s fingers until they swelled, and he had been drenched with several more buckets of well water, he gradually calmed down. After returning to his senses, he was completely worn out, his body trembling non-stop.

He looked up, saw familiar faces, and his expression shifted from blank to panic.

"Dajun, my son, how are you feeling?" Madam Lu rushed over, wanting to touch him but fearful that what lay before her was not her son, but rather, something unclean possessing him.

Zhou Dajun looked at Madam Lu’s face and suddenly his eyes widened. What was going on with him? That’s right, it was Wufu, that disaster star, that wretch! She drugged him, then threw him into the pigsty, and he...

Zhou Dajun, remembering what he had done, let out a ghostly yell, "Wufu has ruined me." Then his body collapsed, and he fainted.

"Dajun!" Madam Lu cried out.

The chopsticks fell from Old Lady Zhou’s hands as she looked at her grandson who had passed out, stepping back twice.

He said Wufu has ruined him?

Was it that Wufu girl who had plunged the Old Zhou family into the center of the whirlpool? Who had made the Old Zhou family lose all face?

Was all this Wufu’s doing?

Old Lady Zhou felt dizzy, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

Old man, what kind of sin had their Zhou family committed?
