Su Hua's brow twitched slightly as she listened. The words of praise she received earlier were quite nice, and she liked hearing them.
But what's with this 'black bear spirit turning into a little pig'?!
She couldn't help but stretch out her arm and take a closer look. After running for half a month, her weight had successfully dropped below 200 pounds.
Plus, the sweat I got from picking apples yesterday will probably help me lose another four or five pounds.
This doesn't look like a little piglet at all.
Upon hearing this, the Su family members fell silent for a moment, but without the slightest hesitation, they unleashed a barrage of attacks on Meng Yun'er.
"Whether she's my daughter or not, don't we family members know in our hearts? Why should an outsider like you interfere?"
"That's right! Hua'er can stir-fry snails, do business, and is skilled in medicine. Moreover, her medical skills are superb. That's because Hua'er is destined to be a noble person and has a good master. You can't get something like fate by being jealous."
"Speaking of Hua'er's changes, it's all thanks to you! If you hadn't seduced Feng Zicai and come up with the trick of catching them in the act in the dilapidated temple, our Hua'er might not have woken up so quickly."
"Tsk, no wonder you weren't favored by your family since you were little. With that habit of always complaining and harming others, even the big worm would keep his distance from you..."
The villagers who followed looked at each other, and simply kept their lips tightly shut. In any case, what Meng Yun'er and the Su family said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Looking at Su Hua's nonchalant demeanor, Meng Yun'er suddenly felt a sense of frustration, like punching cotton.
The unwavering protection of the Su family only fueled her hatred.
Just say what you want to say, why do you keep bringing up old grievances!
What do you mean she seduced Feng Lang? Look at Su Hua's former fat, poor, and ugly appearance. What about her was worthy of Feng Lang? She was just helping the two of them break off this ill-fated relationship.
Moreover, she has never believed in fate or anything like that.
Once the vengeful spirit within Su Hua's body is expelled, Su Hua will return to the time when she was inferior to her in every way.
Thinking of this, Meng Yun'er suddenly smiled and said, "Aunt Su and her brothers and sisters-in-law are protecting her so much, could they have some ulterior motive?"
Seeing that this thing, whether human or ghost, can now help you rake in money, you completely disregard Hua'er's life or death, remaining unmoved even after possessing her body?
Su Bai was so angry that her face turned red. "Bullshit, you father's eighteen-ring fart!"
"You're taking over your grandfather's body!"
"Screw your money!"
"Get out! Go lick the boots of the King of Hell instead of me..."
No matter how shameless Meng Yun'er was, she was still only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she was scolded until her face turned red with embarrassment.
After taking a few deep breaths, she finally found her voice, "Aunt Su, there's no need for you to be so quick to refute me."
For many years, Ma Xiangu has taken it upon herself to subdue demons and monsters. Now, upon hearing about the situation in our Shanghe Village, she has traveled all the way from Qingshui County.
If we really go back like this, wouldn't that be a slap in her face?
Anyway, it's just a matter of setting up an altar and performing a ritual, it won't take much effort. If there's a ghost, we can just ask them to catch it. If not, then consider it my intrusion today, at least it will put the villagers' minds at ease!
Ma Xiangu, standing to the side, had her cloudy eyes darting around.
When he was finally mentioned, the dissatisfaction on his wrinkled face lessened slightly.
Over the years, she has exorcised ghosts and exorcised evil spirits in hundreds of villages in Qingshui County, and every time she has been treated as an honored guest.
Only here, after being here for so long, she wasn't even given a sip of cold water, let alone any respectful or cautious treatment. The attitude of this family clearly showed that they didn't take her seriously at all.
Su Baishi completely ignored the argument, saying that slapping Ma Xiangu in the face had nothing to do with the Su family.
He opened his mouth to retort, but his sleeve was suddenly tugged gently.
Turning around, she saw Hua'er smiling at her.
The anger in my heart subsided considerably in an instant.
"You can perform any ritual, exorcising ghosts or demons!" Su Hua smiled at Meng Yun'er, stretched out her delicate white hand, and gently rubbed her index finger and thumb together twice.
Her tone shifted, "But how much are you planning to give?"
"How much do you want?" Meng Yun'er was taken aback.
His gaze fell on Su Hua's outstretched fingertips.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck me.
By the way, she did the same thing when she made Su Hua swear last time, exactly the same.
Sure enough, when she looked up again, she saw that Su Hua's smile had deepened. "Of course, it will cost money. If you want to set up an altar at my house to perform rituals and catch ghosts and demons, you should at least pay some venue fees, lost wages, and compensation for mental distress."
We've been working together for a long time, so I won't overcharge you. It'll be the same price as last time, twenty taels.
"More money?! Twenty taels more." Meng Yun'er jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her eyes glaring at Su Hua as if she could devour her.
"All you ever think about is money, money, money. You're a vengeful ghost who crawled out of the ground, do you think you're obsessed with money?"
She had never heard of or understood terms like venue fees, lost wages, and compensation for emotional distress.
But just hearing the familiar twenty taels of silver instantly brought to mind the first slap Meng Yongfu had ever given her, and the night she had been locked outside in the rain. The shame and grievances in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
Ma Xiangu, who was standing to the side, was also extremely shocked, her cloudy eyes widening in surprise.
In all her years of exorcising ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, this was the first time she had ever seen a family that needed exorcising ghosts ask for money instead.
Moreover, he asked for twenty taels right off the bat.
She reached out and touched the two taels of silver on her sleeve, and suddenly regretted it. The five taels of silver she had offered Meng Yun'er that day was far too low, and the two taels of silver deposit was even more ridiculously low.
"Oh dear, you're absolutely right. Even ghosts in the underworld need money. Not only do they need money, but they also have to work every day."
If you don't work, you won't get paid, and you'll be bullied by other ghosts. They'll throw you into boiling oil, or into a sea of fire. Even more terrifying, they'll use dull knives to slice your flesh piece by piece, until it's as thin as a butterfly's wing..."
Upon hearing the sound, the villagers all gasped in shock.
Why is it harder to be a ghost than a human?
"These ghosts need money more than people, and they have a much harder time living than people. Otherwise, why would so many wronged and violent ghost sisters and brothers try to possess other people's bodies..." The girl stopped mid-sentence and suddenly covered her mouth.
A hint of panic flashed in her clear, almond-shaped eyes.
"Um... well, how would I know what's going on down there? I was just... just talking nonsense! If you're not willing to pay, then forget it and go back to your own homes!"
As she spoke, she secretly let out a big sigh of relief, her long eyelashes twitching incessantly.
His expression clearly showed the lingering fear of almost saying the wrong thing.
A vengeful ghost sister? A fierce ghost brother? They're calling each other so affectionately.
A dark glint flashed in Meng Yun'er's eyes; she had almost been fooled again.
If it costs twenty taels, this vengeful ghost can be completely killed; it's not a bad deal.
