The old man was even more hunched over than he had been a couple of days ago. He choked back tears and called out, "Boss Qin..."
Qin Yunie had some impression of him because she had paid special attention to him last time and even exchanged a few words with other ghosts.
He wanted to team up with another ghost, but he only had one ghost and no other ghosts from the same place to team up with. She told him to go back and see if there were any other ghosts from the same place who could team up with him.
Only a few days have passed, but the old man looks much more haggard than he did two days ago.
Qin Yunie didn't rush to leave, and asked softly, "Have you found the Ghost Pairing?"
He shook his head helplessly. "No, I don't have that much money, but I really have no other choice. My little girl was sold into a ghost marriage after she died. The other party is now haunting her every day. My little girl was an innocent girl, and she died and was married off to an abusive old widower. I really have no other choice. It's already difficult enough that my little girl died so young, but now she can't even rest in peace after death. These heartless people are hiding all day long, and they can't do anything about it because they are recorded as a couple in the underworld."
As he said this, he wiped his hands on his clothes several times in bewilderment. "I wanted to ask if anyone in the same area could help me put together an order?"
Qin Yunie never expected to encounter something like this. She had felt something was off last time, but she never imagined that she had been arranged into a ghost marriage.
She frowned and asked, "Isn't anyone going to do anything about this?"
He seemed to have found someone to confide in, and at his advanced age, he wept uncontrollably, "Who cares? If it weren't for your own family experiencing this, nobody would know. Some people even hold memorial services every year, but the graves might be empty. You bury someone, and they can dig them up and sell them. That's how my youngest daughter was sold into a ghost marriage. She had barely been laid to rest when she was targeted and dug up within two days. My poor youngest daughter..."
The thought of this made Qin Yunie feel a chill run down her spine. She had just been buried, and now she was being dug up and forced into a ghost marriage.
If this is allowed to continue, who knows what will happen?
However, she also knew that her own strength was too weak to help blindly, but she could help inform the other party's family and call the police.
She couldn't help but ask, "Isn't anyone in the underworld in charge either?"
The old man shook his head helplessly. "Those ghost messengers only recognize marriage certificates. The marriage certificate says they are a couple. Who cares whether the marriage is voluntary or not?"
Qin Yune thought for a moment and asked, "Where is your family from? Who is in your family now? Do they know about the theft of your youngest son's body? What are you planning to do now?"
He replied, “Our family is from Li’an Village, Qingquan County, E City. Our eldest and second sons have separated and are now living in the city. My wife died less than two years after giving birth to our youngest son. They probably didn’t know that our youngest son’s body was stolen for a ghost marriage. I just want them to find our youngest son’s body, break off this marriage, and let our youngest son’s body rest in peace.”
“Otherwise, it’s really hard for me to see my youngest son get a beating every day whenever he’s found. Sometimes he doesn’t care who he’s hitting, sometimes he even hits me.”
His eyes reddened as he spoke. "When she was alive, I never wanted her to suffer any injustice, but now that she's dead, she's been wasted like this. It's my fault for being incompetent and unable to protect her. I'm the one who has let her down."
As he spoke, he covered his face with his aged hands, and a sobbing sound came from his throat.
Qin Yu Nie felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this and suggested, "How about this, we first ask the ghost messengers to see if they can separate your daughter from her current partner, so she won't be beaten for a while. Then you can tell me the addresses of your two sons, write the letter, and give it to me later to see if we can find someone to dissolve this ghost marriage."
Upon hearing this, he choked up and bent down to kneel before Qin Yunie, saying as he knelt, "Thank you, thank you, Boss Qin, you are such a good person."
Qin Yunie quickly helped him up, preventing him from actually kneeling down. "Let me ask first. I have some paper and pen. You can write first."
As she spoke, she walked to the food cart, opened the door, took out paper and a pen from inside and handed them over, and then moved out a table so that he could write.
He walked over with faltering steps, sat down, and began to write a letter.
Qin Yunie then sent a message to Xie Bi'an.
Qin Yune: [Brother Xie, I have an old man here whose daughter was arranged into a ghost marriage. Now the other party is harassing her, insisting that she is his wife, and he beats her all the time. Is there any way in the underworld to forcibly separate them in this situation?]
A few minutes later, Xie Bi'an seemed to have finished his work and sent her a message.
Xie Bi'an: [In principle, as long as they have a marriage certificate, they are husband and wife, and this is a matter between the two of them. This is different from your marriage in the mortal world. A ghost marriage is a wedding ceremony for ghosts, which is equivalent to them having a proper wedding ceremony in the underworld. However, since you mentioned it, we can send a ghost messenger to issue a warning on the grounds of domestic violence.]
Qin Yunie: [Okay, thank you for your help.]
Xie Bi'an: [Is this someone you know?]
Qin Yunie paused for a few seconds before saying, "No, it's more of a call to action for women who are victims of domestic violence. But if it's convenient, could you please help me look into it?"
Xie Bi'an: [Okay, give me the specific information, and I'll check it for you.]
A few seconds later, Xie Bi'an suddenly sent another message: [I heard from other ghost messengers that you have a good relationship with Meng Po and even helped her improve the Meng Po soup. If this is true, you could actually have Meng Po make a trip.]
Qin Yune was puzzled. What did this have to do with Meng Po?
Moreover, how did Brother Xie know that she helped Meng Po improve Meng Po's soup?
That's what she thought, and that's what she asked.
To everyone's surprise, Xie Bi'an replied: "You don't know?"
Qin Yunie was even more confused: [Should I know?]
Xie Bi'an: [Meng Po's cooking skills aren't very good; the Meng Po soup she makes has a rather complicated flavor. Most of the ghost messengers in the underworld have been ruined by her. Every time she wanted a ghost messenger to try it, none of them were willing. But ever since you helped her improve the Meng Po soup last time, she still lets every ghost messenger try it. After tasting it, she'll ask them how it tastes. If they all praise it as delicious, she'll proudly say, "Even if it's delicious, it's still not good." Now almost all the ghost messengers know that you helped Meng Po improve the Meng Po soup.]
Upon seeing this message, Qin Yune immediately recalled Meng Po's smug expression after she successfully improved the Meng Po soup last time. Meng Po had indeed said: "Once they finish drinking it, they won't have any left to drink."
Qin Yunie sighed, never expecting that Meng Po would actually do that.
Xie Bi'an then sent another message: "[Meng Po is quite adept at handling these kinds of things; you'll see once you send her.]"
