That Rich Upstart's Daughter is Delicate, Beautiful, and Can Catch Ghosts

Black Wind Village is a backward and impoverished place. The Ma family is spoken of by everyone in the village. After having five sons, the 40-year-old woman of the Ma family became pregnant again....

Chapter 39 Borrowed Life

"Um, Grandma, Mom, where are our gifts?" Bai Lulu asked in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Before Er Mao, who was wearing glasses, could react, Ma Hehua slapped him hard across the face, making his head buzz. The women were stunned, and Er Mao's wife was also stunned.

"Er Mao, teach your wife a lesson and make her realize her own identity and status." Ma Hehua's eyes held a hint of ferocity and wariness.

"Yes, Mother!" Bai Lulu felt a pang of sadness seeing his meek and submissive demeanor.

At this moment, Ma Linghua asked, "Has a school been found for Lihua?"

"Mom, we found her. For Lihua's health, Dad and I enrolled her in the same class as Xin'er." Li Fagui glanced at his grandson, who was almost 13 years old. He was tall and strong and could easily carry his daughter on his back.

Ma Linghua glanced at Li Xin; her sharp gaze sent a chill down Li Xin's spine.

“That’s good. Now Pear Blossom will have someone to take care of her.” Ma Linghua thought for a moment, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and took out a five-emperor coin from her pocket.

In front of everyone, she took a red string from somewhere, tied the five coins together, and gave it to Li Xin.

Da Mao was quite happy; this was a precious treasure.

“Xin’er! Your aunt is frail, so you must protect her! Your great-grandmother has entrusted you with the important task of taking care of your aunt!” Ma Linghua said rather seriously.

Li Xin: "???"

"Grandma, don't worry, Xin'er will definitely take good care of his little aunt." Da Mao immediately stepped forward to express his determination.

The three women from the Ma family nodded. "Not bad, Da Mao (my brother) is really savvy."

The most magical thing about this day was the Li family's four wives and children.

Bai Lulu returned home in a daze. No matter how sweet her voice was, her man ignored her. But from now on, if she used her sweet voice, her man would pamper her.

After returning home, Li Yuan went upstairs to review his upcoming school lessons.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Bai Lulu asked with some concern.

"Lulu, don't make your mother and grandmother angry in the future, okay? Don't ask for things you shouldn't ask for, and don't go to the villa area." Er Mao said, a cold light flashing in his glasses, making Bai Lulu tremble all over.

"Yes, yes, don't be angry. I won't ask again."

In a luxurious room in a high-rise building, Shan Jianjian was exercising, running, lifting weights, and hitting a punching bag, while Sanmao sat motionless on a blanket on the floor.

Seeing that Shan Jianjian seemed preoccupied, he asked, "What's wrong? We just came from the old villa. Are you feeling unwell?"

Sanmao shook her head.

"Clang..."

There was a noise coming from the living room. Since both of them were boxers, they weren't afraid at all, so they decided to go and see what was going on.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; Li Qiang had gone completely mad, eating raw meat nonstop.

He had just gone back to his room to review his homework, and in the blink of an eye he was downstairs again; this was clearly abnormal.

Li Sanmao took out a piece of jade from around his neck, took it off, and pressed the jade pendant onto his son's forehead.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

A burnt smell, like that of barbecue, filled the entire living room.

Li Qiang collapsed to the ground.

Everything happened so fast that the two of them were completely bewildered. "Pack your things and come back to the villa with me..."

Sanmao knew that he had to ask his grandmother for help, otherwise Qiang'er would be in grave danger.

The two had just left when they unexpectedly returned.

Looking at the scar on Li Qiang's forehead, Ma Hehua curled her lips. What an unlucky guy, covered in black aura, he's bound to suffer a terrible fate.

As Shan Jianjian watched her mother-in-law and grandmother circle around her son several times, she really wanted to call 120 and take the child to get checked out.

But she had just witnessed her son eating raw meat; it was terrifying and disgusting.

"Did you figure it out?" Ma Linghua asked.

"No, I didn't see anything," Ma Hehua said honestly.

Ma Linghua then looked at her beloved eldest granddaughter.

"She looks exactly like my third brother," the delicate voice replied earnestly.

Ma Linghua; "……………………"

Did she not teach it again?

She coughed lightly, worried that she might be the one who caused the trouble but hadn't gotten angry yet.

“Qiang’er has been taken away by someone else.” Ma Linghua’s tone was icy.

"Damn it! Who dares to take the life of the Ma family? They're tired of living!" Ma Hehua felt her blood surging.

He smashed the large table in the living room to pieces with a single slap.

Shan Jianjian; "……………………"

She glanced at her husband, who didn't react. She swallowed hard. This woman was something else; she'd better never offend her! This was even better than Iron Palm.

“When the children were born, didn’t I give each of your children a jade pendant? What about Qiang’er’s jade pendant?” Ma Linghua looked at Sanmao with sharp eyes.

Suddenly, Sanmao stared coldly at Shan Jianjian, making Shan Jianjian's scalp tingle. He stammered, "The...that jade pendant...no, I lent it to my brother's child."

"Smack!"

Sanmao's hand slipped away. She didn't look at her again, but asked, "Grandma, what should I do?"

“The things belonging to the Ma family are not so easy to borrow or take.” Ma Linghua’s eyes were sinister.

“Sanmao, go get a divorce in a bit. We can’t have a woman like this who takes things from the Ma family and gives them to her own family.” Ma Hehua’s tone was firm and left no room for argument.

“Yes! Third Brother, we can’t afford to have a woman who sneaks back to her parents’ home with her belongings,” Ma Lihua agreed.

Dan Jianjian trembled all over. No! No! She didn't want a divorce, she didn't want to leave Sanmao. She had sacrificed so much to be with Sanmao, and she had gotten rid of her rivals one by one. She didn't want to leave Sanmao.

“Sanmao, let me explain. I didn’t know. I didn’t know that jade pendant was so important to Qiang’er. I only intended to show it to my sister-in-law, but I never expected…”

"Alright, what business is it of mine? You actually stole my Ma family's property to take back to your parents' home. You're shameless! Sanmao, what are you standing here for? Hurry up and get a divorce!" Ma Hehua's impatient voice rang out.

Li Zhongguo and Li Fagui stood behind the room door, peeking and watching, completely unqualified to participate in this judgment.

"Dad, this third son is really lucky, he didn't get beaten by Mom!" Li Fagui said somewhat displeased.

"It's all thanks to our eldest daughter. Since having Lihua, Linghua has become more and more gentle." Li Zhongguo said with a doting expression.

Li Fagui nodded. That's right! It's all thanks to her daughter.

Moreover, every descendant of the Ma family will be given a jade pendant as a token of peace by the current generation of successors. Each pendant has their own name on it and they will never take it off, wearing it until they die.

This time, the third son's wife not only violated the Ma family's rules, but also challenged the Ma family's authority.

"No...no! Sanmao, we've been married for over ten years! How could you listen to these two old women and divorce me?" Shan Jianjian said in a panic and resentment, words that froze the air.
