My cousin, who had always excelled in her studies, suddenly went crazy before the college entrance examination.
The next day, the richest family in the village, the Diao family, sent a sedan chair to marry her off.
The villagers all laughed, saying, "The Diao family is so shrewd, marrying a crazy bride?"
A few days later, my cousin's academically challenged husband got into college.
That night, my cousin passed away.
On the fifteenth of July, during the grave-sweeping festival, I suddenly saw her appear on the ancestral altar in my home.
She was greedily swallowing gold ingots.
She had returned.
