When I was a child, I lived with my parents in a bungalow area.
Every day when you go out, the neighbors around you will greet you warmly and very kindly.
It is completely different from the feeling of living in a building now.
It is difficult to understand the meaning of the saying "distant relatives are not as good as near neighbors" nowadays.
Although living in a bungalow can bring your neighbors closer, there are always rumors of strange things happening in the bungalow.
I remember one year, something happened at the house of my neighbor, Grandma Wang.
There are four people in Grandma Wang’s family, including herself, two grandsons, and a granddaughter.
Because Grandma Wang's son and daughter-in-law passed away very early, these three children became orphans and were raised by Grandma Wang alone.
At that time, the family of four lived in a bungalow of more than 20 square meters.
Photos of Grandma Wang's son and daughter-in-law were hung on the wall outside the house, and the bedroom was inside the house.
Every night, Grandma Wang and her granddaughter sleep on the same bed, and the two grandsons sleep on the same bed, with a curtain drawn in between as a partition.
Grandma Wang's three grandchildren are all very similar in age, with a difference of about one or two years.
Among them, the granddaughter is the eldest sister, and the youngest brother was only in his early twenties at the time.
But this little brother is idle all day long and often drinks too much.
Every time he got drunk, he would cause trouble outside, bully the weak, or yell at Grandma Wang when he got home.
Grandma Wang was getting very old.
She was always in fear every day, and her grievances had no one to tell her.
Finally one day she fell ill.
One night after Grandma Wang fell ill, she and her granddaughter were sleeping soundly.
Suddenly they heard a noise outside the house.
Grandma Wang got up and looked outside the house.
Through the moonlight, she saw a figure pacing back and forth outside the house, and sighing from time to time.
Grandma Wang immediately shouted, "Who is it?"
The figure slowly twisted his body and stood still with his back to Grandma Wang.
Grandma Wang took a closer look and saw that the figure turned out to be that of her dead son.
Tears immediately rolled out of her eyes and she said: "The child has grown up, so don't worry."
But the youngest is the only one who is not sensible.
He gets into trouble every time he drinks.
I'm old and can't control it anymore.
If it continues like this, I'm going to have to face a lawsuit.
After saying that, the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Grandma Wang wiped away her tears and lay awake all night.
Two days later, the young man was drunk and walking home.
When passing by an alley, two black figures suddenly appeared and beat him up.
The young man fled back home in a daze, holding his head.
After arriving home, the whole family saw that his clothes were in tatters, his back was bruised and swollen, and he was lying on the ground screaming in pain.
Upon seeing this, Grandma Wang immediately ran to worship in front of the photos of her son and daughter-in-law.
From then on, the boy never drank again
