Tong Zhu covered her mouth in surprise.

Tan Xiaoxiao visibly panicked and looked to Wen Lidi for help.

Wen Li always seemed calm and composed; even now, she still spoke softly to her as she connected the phone.

Tan Xiaoxiao bit her lip, her pale pink lips almost bleeding from the bite, and she could even taste the blood in her throat.

Tan Xiaoxiao answered the phone with trembling fingers.

Soon, Tan's mother's complaining voice came through the phone: "What are you doing? Why are you taking so long to answer the phone?"

Tan Xiaoxiao's voice trembled uncontrollably: "Something came up just now."

Perhaps Tan's mother didn't think much of it, or perhaps she simply didn't want to care about this adopted daughter, Tan Xiaoxiao's strange voice didn't bother her.

During the phone call, Tan Xiaoxiao heard her mother's gentle voice for the first time.

"Xiaoxiao, the family needs some money recently. Didn't you work on a construction site in City A before? I heard that the daily wage in City A is at least three or four hundred. Do you still have any money? Send some money home. The family needs it urgently."

Wen Li's prediction came true again!

Tan Xiaoxiao suddenly clenched her grip on the phone and subconsciously glanced up at Wen Li.

Wen Li said "No" in colloquial English.

Tan Xiaoxiao quickly lowered her head, her fingers constantly poking at the camouflage pants on her thigh, her voice tense: "What do you need the money for?"

"What else can it be for?" When Tan's mother heard that her daughter wasn't transferring money directly, her voice suddenly became louder: "Isn't it because you're going to college? Your father went out to work for you and fell off the mountain and broke his leg. Now we need money to go to the hospital for treatment."

Tan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but want to smile bitterly after hearing this.

Did her father do this for her?

Her high school tuition was paid by her second sister, and her family's living expenses were taken care of by her third sister. What did her parents do?

How dare you say everything was for her now?

Tan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and sneered, "If I give you the money, what will I do for my living expenses?"

“Then you can borrow money from your classmates. I heard that people in City A are all rich. If you borrow tens of thousands from them, they probably won’t even care. If possible, you can borrow more from your classmates. Your dad’s leg injury is very serious…” Tan’s mother spoke more and more matter-of-factly.

"Enough!" Tan Xiaoxiao growled, and the person opposite her stopped, seemingly not expecting her usually quiet daughter to speak to her like that.

Before Tan's mother could even react, she exclaimed, "You're still lying to me at a time like this! Just half an hour ago, I saw my dad fishing on my third uncle's WeChat Moments. If you want my money, don't even think about it!"

"You!" Tan's mother reacted instantly. After being exposed for her lie, she showed no remorse or surprise, but instead was furious: "How dare you talk to your mother like that? So what if I lied to you? You are an adult now. After raising you for so many years, shouldn't you send some money home? To tell you the truth, your younger brother is getting married soon and needs your help as his older sister."

Tan Xiaoxiao was breathing rapidly.

Everything Wen Li said has come true!

Moreover, she was certain that her mother had other intentions.

Tan Xiaoxiao didn't want to say more: "In short, I have no money. I'm hanging up."

"Wait!" Tan's mother said anxiously on the other end of the phone, "Do you think your brother will forget about his older sister when he becomes successful in the future?"

Tan Xiaoxiao laughed in exasperation: "I'm the top liberal arts student in the entire county, do I need a younger brother who didn't even finish vocational high school to help me?"

Tan Xiaoxiao used to speak without confidence because she didn't know how to get along with people, but that doesn't mean she was not insightful or brave.

Now that her family is plotting against her, Tan Xiaoxiao is resolute: "I have no money. You two are the ones who wanted to have my brother, so you should take responsibility. He will definitely not forget you two when he becomes successful."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and blocked the number.

After doing all this, Tan Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh of relief.

That was awesome!

But soon she noticed that Wen Li and Tong Zhu were both looking at her, and the little girl instantly felt a little embarrassed.

"I……"

"Xiaoxiao, you did very well." Wen Li's eyes were gentle and her voice soft: "You have no connection with your parents. If you waver even slightly today, your fortune will change instantly. As long as you stay firm on your path in the future, other kinship lines will be waiting for you."

Tan Xiaoxiao hummed in agreement and tentatively asked, "If I had agreed to give you the money just now, what would happen to me in the future?"

"In the future, your parents will take advantage of you, make you give up your studies, arrange for you to marry a divorced man, and you will die young."

"After you die, you will be paired up in a ghost marriage just like your third sister."

Tan Xiaoxiao broke out in a cold sweat instantly, feeling relieved that she hadn't gone the wrong way.

"I definitely won't get involved in my brother's affairs anymore."

She just wants to keep studying, and if she has the opportunity, she will study abroad. In short, she would rather live alone for the rest of her life than have any contact with such a family!

Thinking this, Tan Xiaoxiao was about to give Wen Li money.

Wen Li: "I need money because I need something to offset the karmic debt between us. How can I accept your money? You should just donate it."

In the past, Wen Li would donate half of the money she received from fortune telling.

Tan Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then obediently nodded.

"Then my third sister..."

Wen Li spoke up: "If you want to resolve your third sister's matter, you must go back to your hometown and find her remains. Do you want to go back?"

Just a second ago, Tan Xiaoxiao was thinking she would never go back, but she nodded without hesitation: "I have to go back."

Her older sisters treated her with all their might, and everyone was working hard to help her go to university. There was absolutely no way she would leave her third sister in her hometown!

"I'll go back to your hometown with you in October." Wen Li narrowed her eyes, her tone dangerous: "I want to see who's orchestrating this ghost marriage!"

If it's someone from the living world, she'll send them to prison.

If it's from the underworld...

It doesn't matter if I kill him with one punch.
