At this time, the Bai couple were both shrouded in a faint yin aura, indicating that they must have dealt with evil spirits recently.
But the people with the heaviest yin energy in the Bai family are actually Bai Tingxue's brother Bai Cong and his newlywed wife.
Judging from the intensity of the evil spirits in the two men, they would surely die tragically within half a year.
Wei Mian shifted his gaze and looked around the house. The Bai family's house was very clean at this time because Bai Cong was getting married. There were red balloons and stickers everywhere, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
There were only three kinds of fruits on the coffee table in the living room, and some daily used items had been put away, leaving only a photo on the TV cabinet.
The photo shows a family of four. In addition to the Bai couple and Bai Cong whom we met today, there is also a girl who is about thirteen or fourteen years old. She is smiling brightly at the camera.
This photo was taken a few years ago when Bai Tingxue was still young and her face had not yet fully grown.
But she has clear eyes and a bright smile, and you can tell that she is an honest and kind girl. Living in the Bai family with such a life, one can't help but sigh that good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboo.
Judging from the shape of Bai Tingxue's ears, this girl has a stubborn personality and is probably not as gentle and lovely as she looks.
Wei Mian had just looked at the faces of several people in the Bai family. Whether it was the Bai couple or Bai Cong, none of them were good people, even the newly married daughter-in-law. It was said that people from the same family were alike.
Bai Cong's wife took the red envelope from her parents-in-law and was about to get up when she suddenly felt a chill.
The coldness came so unexpectedly that it caused goose bumps to appear on her shoulders as she wore her off-shoulder wedding dress, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
The bride guessed that she might have caught a cold. She had been feeling cold since she arrived at the Bai family. Even now, her hands and feet were still cold, and she felt a little dizzy.
However, at this moment, a shadow slowly appeared in a place that no one in the room could see.
She was a girl with a large flattened head. She stood in the living room, her eyes fixed on the smiling Bai couple sitting on the sofa.
It’s Bai Tingxue.
The emotions in her eyes were extremely complicated. The way she looked at the two of them was mixed with admiration and resentment. Even Wei Mian, an outsider, could feel the struggle within.
However, after struggling for a while, she finally shifted her gaze away from them and turned to Bai Cong and his wife.
At this moment, there was no more admiration in her eyes, only deep hatred remained, and it was revealed without any concealment, as if it were real.
Wei Mian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw this. In her opinion, since Bai Tingxue's ghost marriage was agreed upon by the Bai couple, the people Bai Tingxue should have resented were her own parents. How could it be that the Bai Cong couple were the ones who died shortly afterwards?
She asked Liang Haoran to stand in front and quietly opened her third eye.
Bai Tingxue is the only girl in the Bai family, but she is not liked by her father and mother. They like Bai Cong more and gave birth to Bai Tingxue just to make up the Chinese character "good" with a son and a daughter.
In Bai Tingxue's life from childhood to adulthood, all the good things in the house always came from Bai Cong.
The parents' explanation was also very straightforward. Because the family was not well off, it was impossible for them to buy new clothes for both children. It was normal for children to pick up clothes from their older brothers and sisters.
So before Bai Tingxue was thirteen years old, she rarely had new clothes of her own.
In other families, the older brother protects the younger sister, but this is not the case in the Bai family.
Bai Cong has liked bullying Bai Tingxue since he was a child. Pulling her hair, slapping her mouth, and twisting her arms are commonplace. At first, Bai's parents would scold him, but later, when they saw that Bai Tingxue was fine and Bai Cong was restrained in his actions, they gradually stopped paying attention.
As a child, who hasn't been bullied by their older brothers and sisters growing up? It will be fine when they grow up.
After Bai Cong went to college, he no longer lived at home, so he had fewer opportunities to attack Bai Tingxue.
It’s less, not gone.
Even though his younger sister has grown into a big girl, Bai Cong will still verbally abuse her if he doesn't like something, and he may even resort to violence while doing so.
The night before Bai Tingxue jumped off the building, the two had a fierce quarrel, which was caused by Bai Cong's marriage.
Bai Cong has a girlfriend and is currently discussing marriage. The girl is pretty, so her family wants a high amount of dowry, 180,000 yuan.
The most important thing is that the girl’s family said that the 180,000 yuan is considered as living expenses and should be left in her parents’ home when she gets married.
Bai's parents are ordinary workers, and Bai Cong himself is just an employee. Few young people nowadays can save money, and they all have to rely on their families to get married.
However, over the years, Bai's father had only saved enough for the down payment of a small house for his son, and he could not afford the 180,000 yuan betrothal gift that the other party wanted.
Of course Bai Cong didn't want to do that. He finally had the chance to marry the girl he loved, but his parents had no money. Was this matter likely to fall through?
He somehow remembered a sentence his parents had said when he was a child, saying that they had another daughter just to exchange for a dowry for him.
There are many similar situations in the villages near my hometown. A family has a boy and a girl. When they reach the age of marriage, they marry the girl off in exchange for a dowry, and the dowry is used to marry their son.
It can be said that the existence of a younger sister is to exchange for a betrothal gift for her brother, and some families even directly exchange the bride's daughter for a younger brother.
Bai Cong didn't remember anything else, he only remembered one thing, that Bai Tingxue's existence was to exchange for the betrothal money for him.
Bai Cong was like a madman at that time. Bai Tingxue was already an adult, and there were many people who got married when they turned 18, so why should she go to school?
But it is not easy to tell this to others, and Bai Tingxue is a good student and always wants to go to college. If she performs normally in the college entrance examination, she will definitely get into a good university.
This was not what Bai Cong wanted to see, so two nights before her college entrance examination, Bai Cong was particularly diligent in serving milk to her sister.
But this cup of milk has been spiked with something, guaranteed to make Bai Tingxue sleep like a dead pig.
After making sure everyone was asleep, Bai Cong quietly turned on the air conditioner in Bai Tingxue's room, lowered the temperature, left it on for most of the night, and then turned it off in the early morning.
After doing this for two days, Bai Tingxue really developed a fever. It was also time for the college entrance examination. She dragged her heavy body into the examination room. Because of the cold medicine, she felt extremely sleepy.
As expected, Bai Tingxue did not perform well and missed the opportunity to attend her ideal university.
After determining that her grades were not good, Bai Cong immediately arranged a blind date for her and constantly instilled in her parents the theory that having a good job is not as good as marrying well.
Bai's parents are both people with little knowledge, and usually their college student son needs to make decisions on many things. So when they hear Bai Cong say this, they inexplicably feel that it makes sense.
So with the tacit consent of Bai's parents, Bai Cong started looking for someone to go on a blind date with Bai Tingxue.
Because he wanted too much dowry, the two people he found were both quite old, over 30 years old.
