358 Living the life before death
Guo Xiaomei shed tears silently, "I just hope that I can dispel those who are exploring, and don't hit Xiao Fengjiao. However, no one believes me, everyone's curiosity will always be the winner." She wiped away her tears silently and took a deep breath, "Let's talk about my grandparents!"
"you say!"
"The person who fell in love with Xiao Fengjiao back then was not my grandfather."
"Isn't your grandpa?"
"Yes, it's my grandfather's immediate boss. It is said that he fought the Japanese in the early years. Later, after the war ended, he retired and became a high-ranking official in the capital. My grandfather just played him as an assistant. He was incredible for a while. That year, he went to the countryside to express condolences. On a small island like us, he couldn't invite people from the art troupe to sing, and he could only afford to hire a troupe."
In the fifth recitation, I poured a cup of tea for the boss's wife, and gave her a thank you.
"I remember the name of the opera troupe is Haocaitou. In fact, my grandfather has a selfish intention. He wants to develop this island well so that more people can know it. Taking advantage of the good time of reform, he will make this island richer. He wants to keep the opera troupe and make the opera troupe the pride of the entire island. The main reason is that the owner of the opera troupe is a kind-hearted person. All the actors in the opera troupe are children who have gained their lives. These people have no choice but to rely on us, so they will naturally regard our island as their hometown."
"What happened later?" Wu Nian's slender fingers hit the table. No wonder so many people were missing at once. No family members called the police to look for it. It turned out that they were all a group of orphans without relatives.
Guo Xiaomei did not live in that era, so she naturally could not feel her grandfather's enthusiasm. Most of these stories were learned from her grandmother's mouth.
"The troupe of the best actor naturally agreed happily. After all, I have been wandering for so many years. I finally had a place to need them and treat them as family members. How could I not be happy? By chance, the leader came to inspect and accidentally took Xiao Fengjiao. Xinxinniannian only wanted to get her. This matter was a big good thing. In my grandfather's eyes back then, this was a huge good thing. If I was really attracted by that official, it would be like flying to the branch as a phoenix. But Xiao Fengjiao would rather die than surrender and told me that she already had a fiancé."
"Your grandma misunderstood that Xiao Fengjiao had an affair with your grandfather? Then she took people to the opera troupe to make trouble?"
Guo Xiaomei shook her head and said with tears in her eyes, "My grandma has always believed that my grandfather is innocent, but she is worried about my grandfather's future. Women are always thinking too one-sidedly. She thought that a woman would compromise if she had a bad reputation. Afterwards, my grandfather refused to admit it. Everyone just thought that Xiao Fengjiao wanted to climb up the branch and be a phoenix. No one would blame men for this matter. So she took people to the opera troupe to make a fuss, saying that she seduced my grandfather and wanted to completely ruin Xiao Fengjiao's reputation. Sure enough, since then, everyone looked at Xiao Fengjiao with contempt, thinking that she was a vixen and was not worthy of sympathy for others. But..."
Speaking of this, Guo Xiaomei paused, "But my grandfather never thought that their opera troupe would be so united and would get along like a big family. Xiao Fengjiao experienced such a thing, and they did not choose to abandon, exclude, and target her, but chose to face it together. They rejected my grandfather's proposal, and the best actor decided to leave here completely. When my grandfather knew about it, he naturally would not agree, and he also took his anger on my grandmother, saying that she would not be able to do anything but defeat."
Wu Nian pursed her lips, as if it was a bit different from what she heard. "What I found out was that the rest of the opera troupe were killed by Xiao Fengjiao."
When Guo Xiaomei heard this, she couldn't help but snorted, "To be serious, the entire opera troupe was killed by the headmaster's son."
"How do you say this?"
"My grandma was confused later. She always talked about the past. She held my hand and said, "The son of the old headmaster was not a big deal. He was gambling outside and owed a lot of debts. Because of Xiao Fengjiao's affairs, he began to make up his mind and found the official, and was stunned by Xiao Fengjiao. You must understand what happened later. But no one expected that Xiao Fengjiao had a husband and wife with her fiancé long before she came to the island. She was even more than two months pregnant and was played by the official. When my grandparents knew about this, they hurried over. Everything had happened, so they could only send the official away with a smile."
"Before leaving, the official told my grandfather to settle the matter of the head master's son. Later, my grandfather found the head master's son. The man was very arrogant. Not only did my grandfather ask him to pay his debts, but he asked for a sum of money to leave. My grandfather was too simple and thought that Xiao Fengjiao had committed the official and should compromise in this life. Who knew that on that night, Xiao Fengjiao committed suicide. A few days later, the entire troupe died. My grandfather and grandma knew that the fault was wrong and didn't dare to go. Later, I heard that the villagers buried the person. My grandfather and grandma had inquired, but those people were missing the head master's son."
The fifth nun asked, "You said you could see ghosts?"
"Yes, in the early years, when I was young, my grandfather passed away. I found that I could see the ghost. I saw my grandfather. At that time, I didn't know the meaning of death. Later, I grew up little by little and understood the meaning of death. I found that this island was a little different. After a person died, he did not realize that he was dead. It was like when he was alive before he died. My grandfather and grandma were like this, and even other people were like this."
