Chapter 1: Weaving Memories

In October, the cool fall day out of nowhere turned cold. The coldest time of the year was going to start. Liu Sanniang accepted that she had sufficient food held for the colder time of year. From here onward, she could remain at home for the whole winter season simply accomplishing weaving work.

She sat under the candlelight. On the wide weaving table was the piece of weaving that Liu Sanniang had begun working upon. She gradually and painstakingly strung the needle. This was the main expertise she had, to earn enough to pay the bills.

She was 75 years of age. Her folks had long died, and quite a while back, her subsequent sibling died too. Her oldest sibling was as yet alive and three years more established than her. His wellbeing was still okay. She was an old young lady and had never hitched in her life.

Her folks were worried about her and gave her all the cash before they kicked the bucket. Her siblings by marriage likewise treated her quite well and didn't care about their folks' choice.

Her nephews and nieces stayed with her frequently and brought her necessities.

Be that as it may, more often than not, she was distant from everyone else. A considerable lot of her female companions had proactively died.

The room was tranquil and there was just the night guard outside.

"The weather conditions are dry and things are combustible, take care not to burst them into flames."

Dong! — Dong!

Dong! — Dong!

Dong! — Dong!

In the wake of raising a ruckus around town multiple times, the night guard gradually strolled endlessly further away, and afterward the world calmed down once more.

Liu Sanniang grinned and kept doing the weaving.

Other than certain bits of hearsay about her when she was youthful, the remainder of her life had truly been going great. Before the age of 30, there were a few go betweens who needed to coordinate her with men who were either old lone wolves or single men who had lost their spouses and contained a house loaded with kids.

She could have done without any of them, neither did her folks.

A large number of years passed and she in the long run aged significantly.

She was not hitched. At the point when she was youthful, she was very talented in weaving. The cash she acquired was sponsored to her two siblings to help their loved ones. She likewise cherished her nephews and nieces. Her endeavors were not to no end. Her nephews and nieces treated her genuinely well. When they grew up, they visited her frequently.

A couple of days prior, her oldest sibling even carried his grandson to visit her. That little greasy was truly affable.

She gave the little greasy a couple of sweets. His eyes shimmered when he ate them. Before he left, he began crying and wouldn't leave. Liu Sanniang consoles him by saying that she would give more to him the following opportunity he came over. Really at that time the little greasy leaves from that point hesitantly.

Liu Sanniang weaved while reviewing the past.

Her psyche became dynamic as she remembered numerous things, until the chicken began to crow.

Liu Sanniang put down the weaving in her grasp with a delicate grin all over. For a long time, she had never been so lost in her old recollections like this evening, to such an extent that she didn't hear it when the chicken made the commotion.

She got the strolling stick alongside her, smothered the light, and gradually strolled to the bed. She had resided in this house for quite a long time, so she could explore her direction even with her eyes shut.

She laid on the bed and covered herself with a cover. This was another cover, and she put it under the sun a couple of days prior. It felt extremely warm.

She shut her eyes yet couldn't nod off. Gradually, she fell into the old recollections once more.

At the point when she was youthful, her mom loved her the most and applauded her for being wonderful.

After her fourteenth birthday celebration, an ever increasing number of individuals came to request her hand in marriage.

A researcher from Willow Backstreet came to request her hand in marriage. He was at that point a researcher at fifteen years old and was going to take the province level test. Liu Sanniang didn't loathe this marriage, yet at some point, she saw him kicking a lost feline with an unnerving demeanor all over.

She was terrified to such an extent that she beseeched her mom from now into the indefinite future quite a while to dismiss the go between.

The merchant in Willow Road was supposed to be entirely fit. He could procure many tales of silver a year and was rich.

Be that as it may, tragically, at some point, when she and her mom went out to purchase garments, they ended up seeing this person emerging from the betting house. His eyes were ragged looking and startling.

This time, before she expected to ask, her mom dismissed the intermediary herself…

"Incredible auntie, boohoo… You haven't given any candy to Huzi yet."

The kid's cry interfered with Liu Sanniang's line of reasoning. She was confused concerning where this crying was coming from. At the point when she woke up, she saw that the little greasy was crying with his eyes totally open. He was fair and delicate, and Liu Sanniang preferred him profoundly.

Since she was old, all that she saw was foggy. In any case, this time, she could see the environmental elements so obviously!

Before she could go over and embrace the little man, she understood that something was off-base. There were such countless individuals all around!

Youthful, moderately aged, and old were all crying.

For what reason would they say they were crying?

Liu Sanniang saw her oldest sibling.

Her oldest sibling twisted around and cried tragically, gripping his strolling stick. His snot and tears were spreading his dim facial hair.

For reasons unknown, Liu Sanniang needed to giggle. She had not investigated the mirror for a long time. Assuming her oldest sibling was this way, she should likewise be exceptionally old and appalling as well.

Liu Dalang cried unfortunately. "Sanniang, simply sit back and relax. Proceed to rejoin with Father, Mother, and Second Sibling. Sit tight for me in the underworld. In a matter of moments, I'll come and accompany all of you."

Liu Dalang couldn't stand as expected. His two children remaining next to him upheld him. The two his little girls in-regulation were additionally wailing.

Everybody in the room was loaded up with anguish.

The youngsters whom Liu Sanniang hovered upon were additionally crying tears.

"Incredible auntie, you can definitely relax. I'll visit your grave consistently. I will not fail to remember that you were so great to me. Regardless of whether I bite the dust, my child and grandson will not fail to remember you. Consistently on Burial chamber Clearing Day, I'll consume you some joss paper."

"Me as well. We'll consume joss paper for Extraordinary auntie."

Liu Sanniang unexpectedly understood that she was dead…

No big surprise there were such countless individuals in her yard. No big surprise her sibling was crying so unfortunately.

Liu Sanniang grinned. She was not miserable. She was at that point 75 years of age and had seldom experienced disease in her life. Other than being forlorn during her whole life, she regretted absolutely nothing in this life.

She experienced no torment and kicked the bucket in her rest.

Liu Sanniang's vision became more obscure and hazier, and her cognizance step by step vanished…

After an obscure timeframe, Liu Sanniang heard a popping commotion. This sound helped her to remember a huge banana tree on the terrace of her old house. Each spring, when there was a tempest, this was the sound of downpour raising a ruckus around town leaves.

With a squeak, somebody pushed the entryway open and entered. Liu Sanniang felt like she was being shaken a couple of times, and a delicate voice was heard. "Sanniang, Sanniang, get up and drink some medication prior to dozing."

Lady Wei helped Liu Sanniang up with her solid arms. Liu Sanniang woke up and took a gander at the individual before her who felt both new and recognizable.

She was a little paralyzed and recollected that this natural face was her mom, Lady Wei when she was youthful.

She muttered in shock. "Is this the Underworld? For what reason isn't it dull? For what reason am I seeing my mom? Wasn't my mom dead a long time back?"

"Oof."

Liu Sanniang shrouded her head in torment.
