After the banquet, I went to see my cousin's widow.
My cousin had just died, and she had become a widow. When she saw me coming to see her, she immediately put on a show of crying.
"Stop pretending, I know you don't care at all," I said.
"How do you know?" she was a little surprised, but quickly stopped crying and looked at me with interest.
"You were born in the Year of the Dog, and your name indicates that you are naturally flirtatious. Now that your cousin is dead, no one is there to control you."
"Oh, you really can read people well! But, he was still with a princess the night before he died, right?" She said cheerfully. "Now that he's damned, I have a share of the gold, but that old lady is guarding me as if I'm a thief, if it were just for the gold, I would have left long ago!"
Greedy eyes lingered on the agate gold ring on her finger, and I knew she was also in deep trouble.
The cursed gold will not spare their family!
If my cousin's death was an accident, then the situation with my cousin's widow and aunt was a bit off, and even implicated others.
About three days after my cousin was buried, I received a call from my grandfather.
He was furious, cursing at me like a madman, and finally ordered me, "You come to the hospital immediately!"
I frowned, knowing something had happened.
When I arrived at the hospital, my aunt had died, my cousin's widow had become a vegetable, and at the same time, my second uncle's cousin was also sent for emergency treatment.
Those who knew the source of the gold were anxiously waiting in the hospital hallways.
Especially my second uncle, pacing frantically back and forth, like an ant on a hot pan.
When he saw me, he lunged at me, his face twisted with anger.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why did my daughter end up in the emergency room following a lover? If anything happens to her, I won't let you off!"
His wife died early, now he only had a daughter and son-in-law. If he lost his daughter, who would take care of him in his old age?
With reddened eyes and inhuman voice, he panted like he was on the verge of a blood vessel burst.
I knew that retribution had struck again, and the hatred in my heart flared up once more.
"What happened?" I feigned ignorance.
My grandfather said, "Your cousin's widow was having an affair, and we went to catch them with your aunt's help, but who knew..."
Unable to bear the loneliness, the cousin's widow arranged to meet a man online to break free from the mundane, but was caught early by the aunt, who took the whole family and relatives to the hotel to catch the affair.
They not only wanted to catch the affair, but also intended to take advantage and extort money from the man.
As a result, the man was frightened and, in a fit of desperation, drew a knife and stabbed my aunt to death, also stabbing my second uncle's cousin into a pool of blood.
Stabbed more than a dozen times, they were like a hornet's nest.
As for my cousin's widow, she accidentally fell down the stairs while trying to escape, hitting her head and injuring her neck, and even if she recovered, she would be a vegetable.
What was supposed to be just an affair resulted in one death and two injuries, one incident after another, leaving my grandfather panicked and uneasy, undoubtedly thinking, is it really because the money isn't auspicious?
"Tell me, does this have anything to do with the gold? Or... did you curse us?"
My grandfather grabbed my collar and said in a hoarse voice.
"Let's talk downstairs!" I glanced around and said mysteriously.
Downstairs, my grandfather had obviously lost weight, his face was very dark, but there were no signs of impending death.
I couldn't help but be puzzled - didn't he spend the money?
The cursed gold doesn't lie. Once spent, death is inevitable.
My aunt's family had spent the money, and their luck was as black as a furnace, as was my second uncle's family.
But my grandfather's face had a different kind of darkness, like the bad luck aura was of another nature.
He sneered, "Since you said that spending the money would bring ill luck, I naturally will not use it. Not only will I not use it, I won't allow my family to use it. I want to see what will happen if my brother and sister use it!"
"Isn't that a warning from past experiences?"
I was burning with anger. He was truly a sly fox.
