"Are they so superstitious?" asked Tong Wei.
"Of course they are. This is roadwork -- upsetting the earth. You know, there have been two accidents since the road work started. One person died, the other was seriously injured. The workers must think something went wrong," said Wang Yao.
"Two accidents on such a small road?" said Tong Wei with surprise.
"Yes, that's why they believe they have been punished," said Wang Yao.
His car went into the village while they were talking. The car stopped, then Tong Wei came out, surprised all the villagers passing by.
"Who is that girl? So pretty!" said a middle-aged female villager.
"Look! She's with Fenghua's son. She must be his girlfriend!" said a young female villager.
"Such a pretty girl!" said the middle-aged villager.
"What's the use of a pretty face? Is she gonna make money out of it? Who knows if Fenghua's boy could even afford to marry such a pretty face," said a jealous villager.
