Chapter 163

In the living room, Bi Chunliu still had a sick look on her face. She watched helplessly as Sister Wang poured herself some water and then began to educate her.

"Chun Liu, you understand what I mean. You have a house and you're not poor. People of our age living together don't want anything else but to have someone to take care of you if you get sick in the future. Look, if Liu Xu hadn't had a fight with his dad and came looking for you this time, none of us would have known about your fever!"

"Sister Wang, I just had a fever, and I was taking medicine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have opened the door for Liu Xu, right?" Bi Chunliu thought to herself that she was already in her fifties and had the freedom to do what she wanted. Why did she have to find trouble for herself?! She was so disappointed. Although she felt that she was not that old, she really didn't want to find a man.

If you have that much time, you might as well fold more gold ingots or something and burn them for your parents Weiguo and others, which will also bless them to live a richer life in the afterlife.

"Then who can guarantee that you won't get sick?" Sister Wang continued to persuade Bi Chunliu, saying that she had already given her a man she was dating, "That man is called Xing Fei, five years older than you, and he doesn't have many relatives at home, just a sister born to his adoptive father. He used to be a soldier, and later he retired and became a policeman. He has never been married. It seems that it was because he was injured while serving in the army and can't have children. The man she told me about is the wife of an old friend of Xing Fei. She was also asked by Xing Fei's sister. I also saw the photo. He looks okay, not that dirty and unrefined old man. If you don't want to live with him, let him live with us. With all of us watching over you, no one can let him bully you. You don't have to think too much about it, just think of it as an extra companion in life."

Bi Chunliu: "Actually..."

Sister Wang continued, "And you'll have someone to accompany you when you go out to watch shows or anything like that. Didn't you say there's a singer holding a concert in Harbin next month? Let my son buy you two tickets, and you can go together then."

Bi Chunliu: This is actually a benefit.

"How about I arrange a meeting between you two?"

"Okay." Bi Chunliu agreed. It would be fine if more people could go somewhere else to play together. Otherwise, she would never be able to make an appointment with other sisters. She would either be looking after her grandchildren or her great-grandchildren.

"Okay! Then you wait, I'll call them right away." After saying that, Sister Wang left in a hurry.

Sister Wang was very efficient and settled the matter within two days. She also asked if Bi Chunliu needed her to accompany her to dinner. Bi Chunliu declined. At this age, there was no need for someone to find topics in the middle of a blind date.

The two of them met for the first time in a park. They would chat in the morning. If they got along well, they would go out for dinner. If not, they would just go their separate ways. Bi Chunliu was very calm about this.

Perhaps it was because her mood had changed from her youth, but Bi Chunliu found she and this man named Xing Fei actually got along quite well. They both had no issues, their tastes in food were very compatible, and there were no taboos. Although Xing Fei had never been to a concert, he often heard Bi Chunliu's favorite singer on TV. She was also surprised to discover that Xing Fei's adoptive father was from Nanshan, meaning they could be considered half-fellow villagers.

The two had been in contact for over a month, and just as the concert was about to begin, Bi Chunliu asked Xing Fei to go to Harbin. After returning from Harbin, Xing Fei formally invited her to dinner, and the two confirmed their relationship.

Xing Fei wanted to take Bi Chunliu to register their marriage so they could become a legally recognized family. However, Bi Chunliu had previously notarized a will and felt that registering the marriage would require updating all the necessary documents, which would be quite troublesome. She said that not registering was fine. Although Xing Fei felt a little regretful, he agreed, as they would live together anyway.

After living with Xing Fei, Bi Chunliu felt much the same as before, except that she now had a companion no matter what she did. Of course, under Xing Fei's influence, Bi Chunliu increased her exercise frequency, from four times a week to daily walks. Sister Wang kept telling her she was a good matchmaker!

When the two of them had nothing to do, they would talk about the past. Bi Chunliu talked about her younger brothers and sisters at home, which made Xing Fei feel very distressed.

The case of Wei Guo and Xia He happened too long ago and evidence was hard to find. Xing Fei had no choice but to inquire about Xia He's former husband's family and Qiu Guo's family in the countryside.

A few years ago, Wang Yuezhi's mother hooked up with an old man and took the family money with him to go abroad. Wang Yuezhi and his father began to blame each other, and then, for some reason, they got involved in gambling. They were chased and didn't dare return home, and no one knew where they were. As for the beast who hurt Qiu Guo, it was said that he once went up the mountain and slipped and fell into a hole that had once been a trap. He was injured in the lower body by a sharp spike inside. He froze in the mountains all night and was rescued the next day. He spent two days in the hospital before he died.

Xing Fei told Bi Chunliu what he had found out. She smiled and said that it was what she deserved...

…

It's the Spring Festival again, and Xing Fei has been with Bi Chunliu for several years.

The two of them were kneading dough at home when Xiaomei called and said she wanted to bring Zhang Lingyue to their home to celebrate the New Year. Bi Chunliu thought four people would definitely be more lively than two, so she agreed.

"Old Xing, go buy some more food at the supermarket. We don't have much to eat at home." Bi Chunliu rummaged through the table and discovered that Xing Fei had finished all six bottles of Coke they had bought the day before yesterday! This guy was really cool and had a lot of teeth. She could imagine that in two years, without having to wait until he was eighty, his teeth would be useless!

Xing Fei patted the noodles in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go buy some. You wrap them first. I'll be back soon and we can wrap them together then. Didn't you say I put more stuffing in them?"

"Well, remember not to buy Coke."

Xing Fei's eager heart suddenly died, "...I know."

As a result, Bi Chunliu finished making dumplings at home and didn't wait for Xing Fei to come home. "Could it be that he drank all the Coke before coming back because he was not allowed to buy it?!"

Then I waited for a call from the police station.

…

After Xing Fei's funeral, Sister Wang looked at Bi Chunliu apologetically, patted her, and said sorry. If she had known this man wouldn't live long, she wouldn't have introduced him to Chunliu.

Although Sister Wang didn't say anything, Bi Chunliu still smiled and shook her head, saying that she was fine.

After returning home, Bi Chunliu sat on the sofa and looked at the pot of small oranges on the windowsill. That was bought by Xing Fei some time ago. He said that during the Chinese New Year, the house should have some beautiful and edible bonsai, so he bought two pots. As a result, the oranges in one pot were picked and eaten before the Chinese New Year.

The sun was shining brightly today. Little Orange's shadow started from the windowsill and gradually lengthened in front of Bi Chunliu's eyes until the whole room became dark.

Bi Chunliu opened his eyes and found that it was dark.

"Old Xing, why..." Why isn't the light on?

Oh, Xing Fei is gone...

She got up and turned on all the lights in the house, then went into the kitchen. She was going to make herself some dumplings.

——————————————————————

Xing Fei didn't expect that he was so mean that he encountered a petty thief who was trying to rob him and even got himself killed. If this had happened when he was young, with this kick and this pounce, the thief would have lost his life, at least his teeth would have been gone.

Alas, it's really a hero's twilight years... I've heard Chunliu say that Coke softens bones. Maybe this is because I drank too much Coke! Regret...

"Name: Xing Fei, born in 1945, cause of death: spleen rupture. Xing Fei, is that you?"

A young man dressed in fancy clothes asked Xing Fei.

Xing Fei: "...I am Xing Fei. Are you...the Black and White Impermanence?"

The young man shook his flowery clothes and said, "It's obvious that I am Hua Wuchang. Don't ask questions. If others can't see me, doesn't that mean anything? Let's go. I have things to do over there."

Xing Fei: “…………” Hua Wuchang? Is the underworld still reliable?

Regardless of Xing Fei's thoughts, he followed the young man to a place shimmering with golden light, blinding him. Then he heard a voice, indistinguishable between male and female, saying that they had done many good deeds and had accumulated a great deal of merit. They said Xing Fei could make a request, such as a special passage for reincarnation, allowing him to be reborn within the next year at the latest.

"...Can I pass this opportunity on? I want to give it to a friend of mine. It would be best if she could return to the past after she dies of old age. I've seen that in many novels."

"You also said that it was a novel."

"What are your conditions?"

"Conditions? You don't seem to understand the current situation. You're already dead."

"Yes, but my soul and my brain are still there." Although Xing Fei felt guilty, he still spoke with confidence.

“…”

In the end, Xing Fei persuaded the man to agree by offering him 50 years of free classes for them.

"Okay, Weiguo, take him to sort out the documents. Really, there are ghosts who bargain with me, which is really interesting."

Hua Qingnian said dissatisfiedly: "I already said that I am not called Weiguo anymore, call me Lee Minho."

"I told you to stop going to the mortal world to watch TV dramas! Get out of here now."

The young man dodged the thrown object nimbly and took Xing Fei away.

Xing Fei glanced at the young man who took him away. "Your name is also Wei Guo? My friend's brother is also called Wei Guo."

"Really? That's quite a coincidence. I've already met tens of thousands of people named Weiguo down here."

“…”

This guy's words are so harsh, he is definitely not Chunliu's brother.

The human version of Xing Fei still had some inconveniences due to aging, but the ghost version didn't have any of that. He didn't need to sleep or eat. After just one year, Xing Fei realized he was too naive. He said it was fifty years, but he was busy day and night, three eight-hour days. How could that not count as working for free for a hundred and fifty years?

Finally, after doing it... Xing Fei had forgotten how many years it had been, the young man who changed his name to Bai Yu came again and said that Xing Fei could leave.

Xing Fei thought to himself, it’s not bad, these fifty years have passed faster than I expected.

Then he was taken to a hospital and saw Liu Xu crying beside the bed and Chun Liu gritting her teeth on the other side.

People couldn't see them, and Chun Liu, who had become a ghost, couldn't see them either. Xing Fei saw the young man with the flower tap Chun Liu's body, and Chun Liu was sucked in.

The young man patted Xing Fei and pushed him over.

Xing Fei: ? ?

He heard him say.

See you in the next life, brother-in-law.
