Ai Xin lay down in the cemetery, right in front of Ai Zi's old tombstone, trembling with fear.
Didn't she come with the hanged ghost last night?
Why would they be in a cemetery?
Looking around, there were graves everywhere, one grave after another, one unfamiliar face after another. For the first time, Ai Xin, who had committed many evils, felt fear.
Ai Xin tried to summon the hanged ghost, but found that she couldn't find any trace of it at all.
Ai Xin slammed her hand on the tombstone in anger, gritting her teeth: "Tuantuan, I'm not finished with you!"
Just then, the old man on the tombstone she had photographed spoke.
Why are you banging on my door? You're obviously not a decent woman.
Ai Xin: "..."
The old man's mouth in the photo is still moving: "[If you knock on my door again, I'll drag you down and make you my wife.]"
The man next door objected: "Old Li, let me have this woman. She's so young, can your body handle her?"
Another bully shouted, "Give it to me! I'll take it back for a ghost marriage!"
Three men jumped out of the grave, ready to fight.
Suddenly they looked at Ai Xin and grinned wickedly.
Why don't you join the three of us? We can each take two days a week, leaving you one day to rest.
Ai Xin: "!!"
Damn it, those old perverts!
Ai Xin was both angry and furious. Three ghostly things were chasing after her, and Ai Xin ran forward like a madwoman in fear.

After Tuantuan ate breakfast, the rest of the family members went to work or school.
Only Tuantuan, Yang Qixiu, and Yang Jinchuan remained.
While we were eating, Tuantuan's smartwatch rang.
After Tuantuan answered the phone, she sweetly called out "Auntie," making Zhang Yao beam with joy.
"Tuantuan, do you have time to come to Auntie's house today? Auntie specially had a lot of seafood flown in by air and bought a suckling pig. We're going to have a barbecue party. Tuantuan, do you want to come?"
The little dumpling was drooling as it heard about all the delicious food.
Her bright, grape-like eyes looked at her father. Although she really wanted to go, she needed his permission first.
Yang Jinchuan smiled indulgently: "Tuantuan, go if you want to."
"Auntie, Tuantuan will be there in a bit." Tuantuan smiled broadly, her voice soft and sweet, making Zhang Yao want to give her a pat.
"Tuantuan, Auntie's cakes are so delicious! I'll go bake some bread dough now and make you a big strawberry cake later."
"Wow, Auntie, you're amazing!" The little dumpling's lips curled up involuntarily when she heard there was something delicious to eat.
"Thank you for the compliment, Tuantuan. See you later!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yao's face was filled with undisguised excitement and joy, and the corners of her mouth remained turned up.
Holding her phone, Zhang Yao was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! I was worried that Tuantuan wouldn't come. Knowing that Tuantuan is coming makes me so happy, sweeter than honey!"
Her mother, Liu Xiaorong, sat to the side, her face full of displeasure: "Yaoyao, what are you doing? Why are you being so nice to a little girl? Besides, she's not your own child. You should be nicer to your brother's children; they are your family. When you get old, your nephews and nieces will definitely be filial to you."
The smile vanished from Zhang Yao's face. She looked at her mother and said seriously, "Mom, why are you making it sound like my niece will only be filial to me and not to her own mother? Besides, I have a son and I'll have a daughter-in-law in the future. Do you think I can expect my niece to take care of me in my old age?"
Even sons aren't always reliable these days, so how can she expect to rely on other people's sons and daughters?
She's not stupid!
Liu Xiaorong: "..."
She always knew her daughter was a contrarian, but she never expected her to argue with her so readily.
Unfilial daughter!
The Zhang family was not as powerful as the Yang family, so Liu Xiaorong didn't dare to be too stubborn in front of his daughter, fearing that Zhang Yao would prevent her from coming to the villa.
Such a big house, just one visit from her, a few photos to post on social media, and her old friends will be envious for a long time.
Driven by vanity, Liu Xiaorong could only force a smile and say, despite her many grievances against her daughter Zhang Yao: "Yao Yao, look at what you're saying. I just think you're exaggerating. It's just a child, is it worth going to such lengths?"
“Tuantuan lost her mother at a young age and was then stolen by bad people. She finally came back, but she didn’t get to see her mother one last time. Such a pitiful child, and she calls me auntie, so of course I have to treat her as my own child. Besides, Tuantuan is very cute, she looks just like the lucky baby in the New Year’s paintings. Mom, when you see her, you will definitely like her as much as I do.”
Liu Xiaorong: "..."
hehe!
The lucky doll in New Year paintings?
Forget it!
How good can it be?
It's just a nose and two eyes!
Besides, that child grew up in a mountain village, so he must be dark-skinned and dirty.
Liu Xiaorong pursed her lips, but ultimately didn't argue with her daughter.
What if Zhang Yao gets upset and cuts off her allowance?
She's just a little girl, how could she possibly have three heads and six arms?
Seeing that the old lady remained silent, Zhang Yao assumed she had listened and went to prepare for the barbecue party.
"Housekeeper, go and buy some more fresh ingredients. Although Tuantuan isn't a picky eater, it's always good to have a variety of ingredients, and more importantly, a balanced diet, since the child is growing."
The butler nodded respectfully: "Yes, madam."
Zhang Yao went to the kitchen again; she wanted to make the most beautiful strawberry cake for Tuantuan.
Seeing her daughter's concern, Old Mrs. Liu pouted unhappily: "What kind of family is this, caring so much about children from outside? What a waste of the seafood and caviar flown in by air! What's the point of children from this mountain village eating such good food? It's simply a terrible waste!"
