"Xiao Jin." Ren Qiao called Jin Banwei with a hint of helplessness in his tone, perhaps because he was a little depressed about his blocked vision.
Jin Banwei could not ignore her gentle call and put down her hand that was blocking Ren Qiao's view.
Before Ren Qiao could say anything, Jiang Nian opened his mouth: "Don't be too jealous, it's all because I'm beautiful, so your wife stares at me."
Jiang Nian seemed to have broken free from his negative emotions, and his shameless spirit came back.
Jin Banwei snorted lightly and ignored Jiang Nian.
She just concluded that the more you pay attention to Jiang Nian, the more she will be able to show off her shamelessness.
But she ignored it, and there was still Ren Qiao.
Ren Qiao looked at Jin Banwei very seriously, then turned his gaze to Jiang Nian again: "Little Jin is still more beautiful."
Jiang Nian touched his face, glared at Jin Banwei, and then grinned at Ren Qiao: "Ghost sister, you are called beauty in the eyes of the beholder."
Her calling of "ghost sister" was unpleasant to the ear, and Jin Banwei's calling her sounded better.
She didn't respond to Jiang Nian's nonsense. She stared at Jiang Nian and finally asked the question in her heart: "If you want your mother to see Chu Chu so much, why did you let the monk use peach wood as the tablet? You should have asked other people to do it besides the monk. Didn't anyone tell you that peach wood is a treasure for warding off evil and is not suitable for tablets? Since you want to summon the soul, then it is best to choose five yin wood as the tablet."
"Five Yin Wood?" Jiang Nian didn't understand what this was.
Jin Banwei thought she was knowledgeable, after all, she had quick reactions when seeing ghosts, but she didn't expect that she didn't even know the basic Five Yin Wood, although she was grateful that it was written in the original book.
Ren Qiao was also surprised that she didn't know about the five yin woods, but he still patiently explained: "Pine, cypress, locust, elm, and cypress are also called the five yin woods. These five trees have heavy yin energy and are very likely to attract snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Although they are not the most suitable woods for making tablets, they are the most suitable for guiding souls. If you use the five yin woods for the tablet, it will be easier to find your home at first."
Jin Banwei understood what Ren Qiao meant. The reason why Jiang Chuchu had not found her home for thirty years was probably because the peach wood tablet dispelled the evil spirit that could guide her home. She lost her way outside, so she had not seen Jiang Liyu for a long time.
That monk Min Kong really did a lot of harm to people.
Originally, Jiang Chuchu should have been able to meet Jiang Liyu on the Night of the Return of the Soul thirty years ago.
Jiang Nian widened his eyes in surprise: "Is there such a saying?"
Seeing Ren Qiao nod, her eyes widened even more, and some anger surfaced: "Damn it, monks and Taoist priests are all bastards who only know how to cheat people of their money and take the money without doing anything!"
Seeing that she really didn't know, Ren Qiao suddenly realized: "It seems that whether it is a monk or a ghost catcher, most of them don't want ghosts to come into contact with the living."
Although this death trap for Jiang Chuchu seemed to be set up by Min Kong alone, there were countless accomplices. Those people invited by Jiang Nian and others who knew a little bit about the business must have known about the Five Yin Wood. Some of them were incapable of defrauding people, while others were capable but were just fanning the flames.
Most ghost catchers, monks, and Taoists in the world are hostile to ghosts.
If it weren't for that hostility, she wouldn't have been hunted for hundreds of years.
Ren Qiao suddenly realized, but the more Jiang Nian thought about it, the more he hated her: "They took my money, but did this kind of thing. Aren't they afraid of damaging their virtue and shortening their lifespan?"
"No, Taoists and monks are practitioners. Their lifespans are originally longer than those of ordinary people. They also make good connections on weekdays, so their lifespans will only increase, not decrease. As for ghost catchers, catching and killing ghosts is a right granted by the underworld, so their lifespans will naturally not be reduced." Ren Qiao lowered his eyes dully: "The living and the dead should cut off their ties and never meet again."
"Sister Ghost, what you said is not right. You are a ghost and she is a human. Didn't you become her wife? There are obviously ways to keep the ghost by your side, but the girl is unwilling to help."
As Jiang Nian was talking, she began to complain about Ren Qiao. Jin Banwei didn't want to interrupt, but at this moment she had to say something: "Jiang Nian, let me take a step back. If I help you keep Chu Chu, and something like today happens again, can you protect her, or can your mother protect her, or can she protect herself?"
"Isn't there a girl..."
Jin Banwei rolled her eyes at Jiang Nian: "It's impossible for Sister Gui to be a bodyguard for your family."
Jiang Nian had no idea how many people had hunted him and how many ghosts had hated him in order to survive in the world of the living, nor did he know how difficult every day had been for the past hundred years.
If her cultivation wasn't high enough, she would have been killed thousands of times.
Jiang Nian also knew that everything Jin Banwei said made sense, but she had finally hoped for Jiang Chuchu to come back for Jiang Liyu, and she was still a little unwilling: "Why is the ghost sister so strong when they are both ghosts? Can't she teach Xiaochu a lesson? I can give you any amount of money."
“If you hadn’t met us today, your mother might not even have been able to see this side. You’ve harmed Chuchu by keeping her. She doesn’t even have the ability to protect herself. She’s lucky to have stayed in the world of the living for thirty years without turning into a ghost or being eaten by ghosts.” Jin Banwei’s face became increasingly ugly. In fact, she had a pretty good temper, but Jiang Nian was too greedy. Not to mention that she didn’t have the ability to help Jiang Chuchu stay, even if she had it, she wouldn’t do it. She finally had a chance to be reborn, and she wouldn’t go against the rules and cause trouble.
Jin Banwei firmly believed that no one could protect anyone for a lifetime. If Jiang Chuchu was strong enough, she could stay in the world of the living without asking them for help. But if Jiang Chuchu was not strong enough, no matter how many people she begged, reincarnation in the underworld was her best option.
If Jiang Chuchu turns into an evil ghost one day, she cannot take responsibility. Ghosts are more easily stimulated than humans.
Jin Banwei never does anything beyond her ability.
Jiang Nian wanted to argue with Jin Banwei, but Jin Banwei stopped her: "I will definitely not agree to your request. If you can find someone else to help, it's up to you. And I'm the one who called her Sister Gui. You can call her by her name. Her name is Ren Qiao."
There is no one else. It would be good if others don’t disperse Jiang Chuchu’s soul.
"I understand." Jiang Nian lowered his head in silence, his hand touched his pocket and touched his phone: "Xiao Jin, right? I'll transfer the money directly to you."
They were just arguing, and Xiao Jin felt really awkward with this voice. She pouted and said, "Call me Banwei."
She rummaged through her bag for her cell phone, not knowing if it would work after having been charging for so long.
Jiang Nian shouted in dissatisfaction: "Even Xiao Jin can only be called your wife?"
I can’t keep my sister, I can’t call her ghost sister, I can’t even call her Xiao Jin.
How come Jin Banwei has more problems than her?
Jin Banwei touched the phone: "You are very noisy."
This time her cell phone was finally turned on. Jin Banwei entered the password and turned on the phone. Text messages kept popping up and it took ten minutes to end.
I didn’t expect that the original owner still had some popularity, and was not as bad as the original book wrote. Why no one noticed after being dead for so long?
Jin Banwei was still wondering, so she clicked on the messages and took a quick look, only to find that they were all work messages. The general content was that the original owner was fired for being absent from work for many days without reason. Most of them were messages from suitors. The original owner also noted the numbers one by one, at least more than a hundred digits, and many of the messages contained reminders for transfers.
The original owner was a loner, but because of her beauty, she had many suitors.
Jin Banwei had a headache. The identity lent to her by the original owner should not have included facing these people, otherwise it would be a headache for her to be pestered by so many people.
Seeing Jin Banwei holding her phone, Jiang Nian approached to ask about the account transfer. Unexpectedly, she saw a screen full of pink messages from Jin Banwei, many of which were ambiguous. She exclaimed, "Sister Ren Qiao, your wife is flirting."
Ren Qiao blinked, her eyes filled with confusion, and it was obvious that she didn't react to the flirting.
Jin Banwei pushed Jiang Nian away: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"With so many transfer messages, how many fish do you have? I see there are male accounts, do you care about gender?"
"You're noisy."
Jin Banwei just felt a headache. She would delete all those people later. She had never even been in a relationship, let alone raising fish.
Fortunately, Ren Qiao didn't quite understand the words Jiang Nian said, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain it.
In Ren Qiao's eyes, she is her husband, so this behavior should be called betrayal.
Jin Banwei finally got Jiang Nian to shut up. Jiang Nian's shortcomings were that he was thick-skinned, a little chatterbox, and a person who peeked at other people's messages, but he was very quick to transfer money.
Jin Banwei counted and found that there were exactly 200,000.
After Jiang Nian transferred the money to her, he smiled at her eagerly: "Would you like to consider helping my sister stay? I can add two zeros for you."
She was very grateful for Jiang Nian's generosity, and although she was moved, she would never take action.
Jin Banwei knew that Jiang Nian did nothing wrong. After all, she was a filial child who loved her mother, and Jiang Liyu was just a mother who missed her daughter, but she knew better what she could and could not do.
She brought Jiang Chuchu here, and she also had the obligation to take Jiang Chuchu away.
——
Jiang Chuchu naturally didn't want to leave, but she also knew that staying would cause trouble for Jin Banwei, and she was not so ungrateful as to not seek repayment.
She was already very satisfied to be able to meet Jiang Liyu.
Night fell quickly. Jin Banwei and the others had stayed here for the whole afternoon for her. She waved and said goodbye to Jiang Liyu reluctantly: "Mom, you have to live a good life."
"Xiaochu, don't leave your mother!" Jiang Liyu hugged Jiang Chuchu tightly in her arms. She looked at Jin Banwei with pleading eyes and begged bitterly: "Master, please don't take Xiaochu away."
At this moment, Jin Banwei did not doubt Jiang Liyu's love for Jiang Chuchu, but she was powerless to do anything.
"Aunt Jiang, we took Xiaochu away for your sake."
"What do you mean by 'for my sake'? Chuchu is my life. You took my life and you still say you're doing it for my sake. You're just like that big monk. You both want to separate us mother and daughter!"
Jin Banwei's words irritated Jiang Liyu so much that she no longer looked friendly but full of hostility, as if she saw Min Kong through Jin Banwei.
"you……"
Jin Banwei didn't know how to talk to a mother who wanted to keep her daughter's soul by her side. She was still thinking about whether to take Jiang Chuchu away by force, when Jiang Nian stood in front of Jiang Liyu and Jiang Chuchu and smiled kindly at Jin Banwei: "Banwei, where do you live?"
Jin Banwei felt really embarrassed when talking about her residence. She definitely didn't want to go back to that home. The place gave her the feeling of being eerie and scary, not to mention the possibility of encountering a nightmare.
If they didn't spend the whole afternoon here with Jiang Chuchu, they might still have options, but it was already late and the places they could choose from might be limited.
"I'll check out the hotel later."
Hearing the word "hotel", Jiang Nian's eyes lit up: "Don't you have a place to stay yet? We still have three vacant rooms upstairs. You can stay in any of them. It doesn't cost you anything."
She looked very familiar with him, but her rolling eyes had already exposed her intentions.
She obviously wanted Jin Banwei to owe them a favor so that she would agree to let Jiang Chuchu stay.
Jiang Liyu also saw through Jiang Nian's plan at a glance, and she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Master, please feel free to stay."
She still held Jiang Chuchu tightly, but her eyes were fixed on Jin Banwei, begging Jin Banwei to agree to stay.
"No."
She still refused. Jiang Liyu hugged Jiang Chuchu even tighter. Jin Banwei, who was her benefactor the moment before, had now become a sinner in her eyes, the sinner who broke up their mother-daughter reunion.
Seeing how they acted, Jin Banwei had no doubt that if she forcibly took Jiang Chuchu away, she would be murdered here.
Jiang Liyu's expression was a little scary.
Before Jin Banwei could figure out how to persuade Jiang Liyu, Ren Qiao bent down and touched Jiang Chuchu's head, smiling softly: "Chuchu, you should stay and accompany your mother for another day."
Jiang Liyu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master Ghost!"
She had a good idea. If she could delay it for one day, she could delay it for the next day. This way, she and Jiang Chuchu would never be separated.
"Sister Ghost."
Ren Qiao is too soft-hearted. No matter how good her personality is, she has stayed in the world of the living for a hundred years. She shouldn't be so soft-hearted. This will harm Jiang Chuchu and the others.
Jin Banwei looked over, and Ren Qiao just shook his head gently, signaling her not to talk anymore. Jin Banwei was a little helpless: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Although she compromised verbally, Jin Banwei was still resisting in her heart. If she gave Jiang Chuchu one more day, there would be five ghosts in the umbrella. What if they all asked for one more day?
Jiang Liyu and the others didn't know about Jin Banwei's worries. She only knew that her beloved daughter would not leave. She picked up Jiang Chuchu and walked towards the bedroom, while walking, she reminded Jiang Nian: "Xiao Nian, don't forget to take the master upstairs to choose a room."
Without even telling Jiang Nian face to face, a moment of disappointment flashed across Jiang Nian's eyes, but it was covered up the next moment. She retracted her gaze and thanked Jin Banwei and Ren Qiao: "Thank you."
Jin Banwei clearly saw Jiang Nian's disappointment.
As expected, after having Jiang Chuchu, Jiang Liyu completely forgot that Jiang Nian was also a child who needed her mother's care.
"Won't you be sad?"
Jiang Nian shook his head: "No, my mother's happiness is more important than anything else."
Jiang Nian has many shortcomings, but she really cares about Jiang Liyu.
She turned around and took Jin Banwei and Ren Qiao out the door. After locking the door, she weighed the key in her hand and said, "Let's go, two masters."
