Picking up her pink shovel, which she used to dig holes, Song Mian approached the beggar ghost and clearly saw that the ground was covered with scattered sunflower seed shells.
This little thief is incredibly bold, actually daring to come here and provoke us!
With a heavy sigh, Song Mian's forehead was covered in a bead of cold sweat. Then, she slapped the beggar ghost on the head with a small shovel.
Originally, Song Mian only wanted to scare the beggar ghost, but to her surprise, as soon as her shovel landed, the beggar ghost let out a shrill wail and fell down with its eyes rolled back.
Unexpectedly, Song Mian was able to take down a ghost with just a small shovel. When she saw the beggar ghost lying on the ground, convulsing and rolling its eyes, her heart trembled violently, followed by a bad premonition.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop lying there pretending to be dead, please wake up!" Song Mian patted the beggar ghost's face, but found that the beggar ghost completely ignored her, and its body even began to twitch uncontrollably.
This startled Song Mian, who quickly fetched a bottle of water and gave it to the beggar ghost to drink.
After the bottle touched the beggar ghost's lips, the beggar ghost, who had been foaming at the mouth, suddenly seemed to have gained strength and began to drink in large gulps.
He couldn't stop drinking, one sip after another, and the beggar ghost gulped down the whole bottle of water!
The beggar ghost remained lying in front of Song Mian, looking half-dead.
Song Mian tried giving the beggar ghost another bottle of water.
The beggar ghost stopped drinking after only drinking half of it, his mouth tightly shut, and his stomach kept making gurgling noises.
The commotion sounds like they've been starving for a long time!
Upon hearing this, Song Mian had a strong premonition and tentatively picked up a pack of Little Panda instant noodles from the shelf next to her.
After opening the packaging of the instant noodles, Song Mian crushed the noodles inside into powder, forcibly pried open the beggar ghost's mouth, and fed the instant noodles to the beggar ghost.
No, it shouldn't be considered forced.
Because the beggar ghost cooperated with Song Mian from beginning to end, he swallowed all the instant noodles in big gulps.
Seeing that the beggar ghost kept his eyes closed the whole time, but ate with great relish, Song Mian was certain that the beggar ghost was deliberately pretending to be weak!
Having never encountered such a freeloader in all her years in business, Song Mian was furious but laughed, lowering her voice to whisper in the beggar ghost's ear, "Isn't it a bit boring to just eat instant noodles? How about we also have some salt-baked eggs, braised chicken feet, black duck necks, or something like that?"
"Okay, okay!" the beggar ghost readily agreed, then opened his mouth towards Song Mian.
Looking at the beggar ghost, Song Mian sneered and stuffed the instant noodle bag into the beggar ghost's mouth.
The beggar ghost suddenly ate a mouthful of plastic, which startled him and made him open his eyes. He saw Song Mian swinging a small shovel at him.
Startled, the beggar ghost sprang to his feet and confronted Song Mian: "You little brat, how dare you cheat me! I'm a helpless old, weak, sick, and disabled ghost, how dare you bully an old man like me, how can you live with yourself!"
"You cheated me out of my food, what's wrong with that? Two bottles of water and a bag of instant noodles, you'd better pay up right now, or I'm done with you!" Song Mian said aggressively to the beggar ghost.
"How could you bear to lay a hand on an old, weak, sick, and disabled person like me?!" The beggar ghost said, as if he had been bullied, and began to sob and whimper, covering his face.
Just as Song Mian was having a headache, the door of the funeral clothing shop was pushed open from the outside.
"Hello, are you Ms. Song Mian?" Lawyer Xiao Zhou saw Song Mian's appearance as soon as he entered the room, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly forced himself to smile.
Song Mian rarely sees living customers, so she quickly put on her best appearance to greet them: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"I am the lawyer sent by Ms. Qian Xingyue. Ms. Qian Xingyue has accepted Mr. Song Yuan's lawsuit against you for seizing his property and now wants to invite you to negotiate. If you do not agree, I will take legal action to protect my rights."
"Qian Xingyue...you mean Qian Xingyue, the wife I, Song Cheng, just married?" Song Mian's eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Lawyer Zhou nod.
She had heard about this young woman when she was chatting with Aunt Shen.
Her sister-in-law married her eldest cousin from her uncle's family. She thought she didn't have a good relationship with her uncle's family, so she didn't attend their wedding.
Unexpectedly, Qian Xingyue would actually help Song Yuan, meaning she would also be involved in a lawsuit!
“But this funeral clothing shop is my grandmother’s property, and it was given to me by my grandmother!” Song Mian said with a headache.
Attorney Xiao Zhou smiled apologetically: "I'm very sorry, this is not within my jurisdiction. Someone will come to discuss this with you tomorrow. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Nodding to Song Mian, Attorney Xiao Zhou then turned to leave.
Song Mian watched Lawyer Zhou's departing figure, at a loss for what to do.
Looking at the business card that Attorney Zhou had just handed her, Song Mian fell into a deep silence.
Qian Xingyue's situation far exceeded her expectations. If a lawsuit were to actually be filed, she would be the one who would ultimately suffer.
Thinking about this made Song Mian feel worried. Just as she was considering what to do, a figure suddenly floated over beside her.
When he turned his head, he met the beggar ghost's gaze. Song was startled and frowned at him: "Why didn't you make a sound when you came over? You startled me."
"Little girl, are you troubled by this woman? Then I'll help you. I'll make this woman back down, and you won't have to take my money." The beggar ghost smiled brightly, and then continued to say to Song Mian, "My name is Chen Shubin. I'll come back to you after I've done what I said I would and solved this problem for you."
When Song Mian saw Chen Shubin fly up and keep looking at the business card in her hand before passing through the ceiling, she had a bad feeling. She wanted to stop him but it was too late, and she watched helplessly as Chen Shubin left.
"Where are you going?" Unable to stop Chen Shubin, Song Mian quickly called Song Cheng first.
Song Cheng answered the phone quickly. Upon seeing that it was Song Mian on the other end, he immediately began to mock arrogantly: "Hehehe, Song Mian, are you calling to beg for mercy? Too bad I have no interest in your affairs. If you have any problems, go find my wife. My wife will handle everything for me!"
