In fact, Gan Li had noticed something was off about Zhao Juan when she caused trouble last time.
She had considered whether Zhao Juan might cause any trouble, she probably had, but she never expected her to do it in such a direct way... No wonder she's such a reckless person.
However, doesn't this also show that the Gan family's love for her made her confident enough that even if she said something so absurd, the Gan family would believe her?
When Gan Li heard Zhao tell this story, she was indeed somewhat alarmed. This era was different from hers; people here still believed in ghosts and gods.
If they really believed Zhao Juan's words and treated her like a wandering ghost, she dared not imagine what would happen next.
Will they drown her in the pond, or tie her up and burn her alive as a sacrifice to the heavens?
However, she quickly calmed down, and the Gan family's reaction made her feel a little more at ease.
Her second brother, Gan Mingyi, stood firmly on her side. Her eldest brother was even more interesting, directly suspecting that during the years when the original owner was insane, it was the wandering ghosts that possessed her body.
Although the two elders of the Gan family didn't say anything, their reactions to Zhao Juan's words actually reflected their inner thoughts.
Even Zhao Shi came directly to her, this 'lone ghost,' to tell her the truth; her thoughts were obvious.
Ganli came to a conclusion in her mind—the advantage was in her hands.
Thinking of all this, she calmed down completely. After listening to what Zhao had said, she burst into laughter as if she had heard a joke.
"Sister-in-law, you don't actually believe that, do you? She just came up with this terrible idea to sow discord between us in order to save Master Zhao."
She continued:
"Think about it, if I really were possessed by some wandering ghost as she said, how would I recognize you? I remember everything from when I was a child."
I still remember the first time you came to our house when I was little. My mother made you a bowl of egg noodles. I was jealous that my mother was so good to you, so I ate the whole bowl of noodles when they weren't looking.
You're too shy to say anything, and you didn't dare to complain. You just said you'd already eaten, but in the end, you went home hungry.
Gan Li paused deliberately at this point, observing Zhao's expression.
Zhao also recalled this matter; what had made her angry at the time now seemed somewhat amusing.
"Yes, that happened so many years ago, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
Moreover, these are things that only the two of them know.
Seeing the relaxed expression on Zhao's face, Gan Li was overjoyed, knowing that she had made the right bet.
She continued, "Sister-in-law, I don't need to tell you, you must have already figured it out. My good son has inherited the Chen family's traits. He's a snob who only knows how to please Zhao Juan. Now he only treats Zhao Juan as his own mother."
There's no need for Zhao Juan to worry about what she wants to know. She can simply ask Chen Yaozu. What wouldn't that brat tell her to curry favor with him? What's so strange about him knowing these things?
As Zhao listened to Gan Li's words, she found them increasingly reasonable and nodded involuntarily.
"That's what I said too! But I think she's put in a lot of effort to sow discord among us; some of the things she said really made me suspicious."
She asked us, "You never knew how to cook before, how come you suddenly know how to make popsicles and braised pork?"
Ganli felt no nervousness at all upon hearing this.
She knew that Zhao's question was a sign that she had let her guard down. It was precisely because she was unguarded that she was more likely to reveal her thoughts.
She had already prepared her explanation for this.
No one in this world is a fool. The Gan family loves their daughter dearly, but they are not blind. It would be strange if they didn't find it odd that they created so many novel things.
So Ganli had already thought about how she should answer if they asked about this. Almost as soon as Zhao finished speaking, she picked up the conversation.
She frowned, looking troubled, and said:
"Sister-in-law, I've actually wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I didn't know how to bring it up, and I was afraid you wouldn't believe me..."
Zhao asked hurriedly, "What is it?"
Ganli sighed and shook her head, feigning confusion:
"Sister-in-law, to be honest, I don't know what happened either. That day, that beast Chen Danian hit my head and I felt like a completely different person when I woke up."
I think I had a very long dream. In the dream, I went to a very strange place where I learned to cook all kinds of dishes, including popsicles and braised pork.
Moreover, I heard a voice say to me, "I have done many wrong things in the past and hurt you all. I hope that I can repent and make amends to you this time I come back..."
As Gan Li spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, and her voice choked with emotion.
Seeing Ganli's appearance, Zhao believed her even more.
She had heard many tales of ghosts and spirits since she was a child, and now she couldn't help but wonder—could it be that her sister-in-law had really been enlightened by some deity?
That must be it!
Rather than believing in any talk of 'wandering ghosts', Zhao was more inclined to believe in this divine guidance. After all, what kind of ghost was so kind that it possessed her body but didn't harm her, instead bringing her family a better life?
The doubts that had arisen in Zhao's heart because of that strange thing instantly vanished, and she even comforted Ganli instead:
"Little sister-in-law, don't overthink it. Since God brought you back and taught you so many skills, there must be a reason for it!"
Don't worry, your sister-in-law believes in you, and your family believes in you too... If they don't, I'm here for you! I don't know any ghosts that don't harm people but actually help them; you, on the other hand, were more terrifying than any ghost before.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but shudder when she thought about her sister-in-law's past behavior.
He paused again, then, remembering that the person was right next to him, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I was referring to the past, you've become much better now!"
Gan Li shook her head generously: "It's alright, I understand what you mean, sister-in-law."
But secretly, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao listened to her explanation and, when she returned, she would surely tell Gan Mingli about it, and then the whole family would know.
That way, she won't need to make up any excuses when taking things out of the supermarket anymore; she can just blame it on the gods.
These are all blessings from the gods.
Anyway, she had already made up her mind. Since Zhao Juan used the talk of ghosts and gods to make it sound so mysterious, then she would make it sound even more mysterious than Zhao Juan!
A selfish, scheming daughter of a nemesis, and a daughter who, "enlightened by a deity," leads her family to a good life.
Who will the Gan family believe? Who will they accept?
