CHAPTER 5

Giving a Gift

” It’s for my ex-fiance...” Jiang Xi said. She was stunned for a moment. Was he gone? Was it the custom of this place to make people disappear after they got married? Jiang Xi remembered that the director of Zhoushan Mental Hospital had said that one could give red packets and flowers to a wife and children. Everything the director said was right!

Jiang Xi liked flowers very much, so she chose the largest and most domineering one in the store. It was snow-white and taller than a person, with words on it! It was very domineering when placed at the entrance, and no one dared to pass by! If he put it in front of her fiancé’s house, she was sure he fiancé would like it! In this way, as her ex-fiance, she still paid her respects.

When the shop assistant heard Jiang Xi’s words, he looked up and saw that Jiang Xi had dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well for many days. Although her eyes were shockingly bright, her body was very weak. She must have been overly sad. There were also dark purple marks on his neck. She must have tried to commit suicide! Sigh, what a poor woman. She lost her fiancé at such a young age. What was she going to do in the future?

The shop assistant felt sympathy for Jiang Xi. He patted his chest and said, “Okay, I’ll take 100 yuan from you and give you some incense and paper money. Tell me how to write the funeral oration in the middle of the flower circle, and I’ll write it for you. We’ll prepare to deliver the goods and not delay your family’s business!”

At this moment, a gust of wind blew over and lifted the signboard at the entrance of the shop, which was covered by a red cloth. The big words ‘one-stop funeral service’ was particularly dazzling. Jiang Xi, who was standing at the entrance of the funeral shop, was even more dazzling. The light around her was almost blinding.

Jiang Xi was very excited after coming out of the funeral shop, and her dull little face was glowing. It was her first time coming out of the mental hospital to attend a wedding. She was so excited! She waved her small hand and said to the worker in the funeral shop, “My gift will be sent to Yang Shaoqun’s house in Qingfu Village. It must be placed in the most eye-catching and domineering position in their house!” Her gift must be the most outstanding one! She was the empress of Zhoushan Mental Hospital, so how could she be weaker than others?

After Jiang Xi finished speaking, she turned her head and swaggered away. Her back view was extremely elegant! The worker at the funeral shop was stunned. He scratched his head and arranged for people to carry the white flower wreath that was taller than a person. In the middle of the flower ring, there was a big ‘sacrifice ‘ word. The people passing by could not help but take a detour. The shop assistant saw the expressions of the people passing by and scratched his head again. “Why do I feel like there’s something wrong? Forget it, I’ve already taken the money.” The shop assistant mumbled to himself as he looked at the words on both sides of the circle. ‘Congratulations on your wedding! May you grow old together.’ This was the first time he had seen someone write this on the flower wreath! Truly, one can see anything after living for a long time!

Jiang Xi was very happy after she had made the reservation. She had always been generous to people. Otherwise, how could she have been so popular in the mental hospital? All the other patients were afraid of the nurse, but she was not! After all, she was a mental patient with a super cheat! According to her medical record, she was suffering from schizophrenia and paranoia, such as thinking that she had the ability to control other people’s blessings and misfortunes!

Although it was somewhat of a coincidence, the people Jiang Xi liked had all made a fortune, and those she did not like had all become unlucky in various ways even after they made a fortune. This was a secret that everyone in the mental hospital knew but did not dare to spread! Who would believe it? Could it be that after staying in the mental hospital for so long, the hospital director and nurses were infected by mental patients? They would be laughed at if this gets out!

“I wonder if my three ex-fiance are doing well?” Jiang Xi muttered. According to her past experience, they would always start to get unlucky after three months.

On the other hand, the funeral service had also begun. Paper money was scattered all over the place. Four strong men carried the flower wreaths and walked toward Qingfu village with grief on their faces. Jiang Xi heard that a happy event is more compatible with a big flower wreath! This big flower wreath would definitely be the most dazzling star of today’s wedding!

“Jiang Xi? Jiang Xi! It really is you! Why didn’t you attend cousin Yang Kun’s wedding? I see that your big brother, second brother, and third brother have all gone! Aren’t you going over? You’re too stingy. Cousin Yang Kun even apologized to you and gave you ten thousand yuan!” A pretty girl in bright yellow sportswear ran out of the cosmetics store next door and called Yang Kun ‘cousin’ as if she did not know that Jiang Xi had been rejected by Yang Kun.

“By the way, Jiang Xi, I heard that your third marriage has been canceled. You... You’re not going to hang yourself again, are you? Hey, why do you always take things so hard? all three marriages are unsuccessful, but at least you got 10,000 Yuan. If it were me, I would be so happy!” The girl in the yellow sportswear had no qualms about talking. The rural customs were old-fashioned, and women’s reputations were the most important. If one’s reputation was destroyed, it was the same as destroying the person.....
