Xiahe Village - Gou Dan's House
At Gou Dan's door, someone was holding up a white banner with a dead body hanging on it. The Yang family mother and daughter, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt at Gou Dan's door and cried, lamenting their bitter fate, how their husbands and fathers died early, how they lived a hard life, how they were bullied, and how they wished they had died together.
Yellow magical artifacts were scattered in his hands.
These things were taboo at the time, but the Yang family dared to do them openly.
People have become immune to this; such scenes happen several times a year.
Grandpa and Grandma Gou Dan stood in the yard. The only tree in the yard was already draped with a rope as thick as a wrist. The old couple's eyes were filled with determination as they looked towards the door, their eyes full of longing.
But they didn't want Gou Dan to come back. They wanted to repay this debt of gratitude so that Gou Dan wouldn't have to worry about their lives anymore, and their burden would be much lighter.
A large crowd had gathered at the entrance to the courtyard.
But no one dared to step forward and pull the person away.
"Huaiyuan's mom, stop making a scene here."
“Huaiyuan’s mother, the eldest son is dead. Let him rest in peace.”
Everyone has witnessed the recent scandals of the Yang family, and they are all very troubled by Yang's mother's repeated outbursts.
Yang's mother ignored her and knelt at the door, crying.
"Someone has died in this family again."
Yang's mother frowned.
She was hallucinating; how could she hear that bitch Qiao Wanyue's voice again?
Qiao Wanyue dragged Gou Dan out. She looked coldly at Yang's mother dressed in mourning clothes, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
The family of three was driven to their deaths in their past life.
She had witnessed Yang's mother's methods firsthand; she killed without shedding blood, standing on the moral high ground, using crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide to exploit people's feelings of guilt.
Her approach won't work at all if she encounters a heartless person.
But she encountered the kind-hearted Gou Dan family. The elderly couple taught their child to be grateful from a young age. If he had even a little selfishness, he wouldn't have been forced by Zhong Qingqing to the point that his grandparents were starving and he hanged himself.
"Qiao Wanyue, I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business." A bad feeling rose in Yang's mother's heart. The troubles she had suffered these days were all related to Qiao Wanyue.
Qiao Wanyue twitched the corner of her mouth, "When you see injustice, you should speak out."
She cleared her throat. "I saw Gou Dan by the river just now. He tried to jump in, but I saved him. I was worried about him, so I brought him home." She glanced at Yang's mother again.
"Has someone in your family died?"
Yang Dacui: "Qiao Wanyue, shut your stinking mouth! Someone in your family has died!"
Qiao Wanyue scoffed, "No one's died, why dress so in such an unlucky way? Do you know who's going to die and are preparing in advance? But that doesn't make sense, if you were that effective, wouldn't you be sorcerers, promoting feudal superstition?"
She covered her mouth, and her pupils contracted.
Yang Dacui felt a sudden tingling sensation all over her body.
Qiao Wanyue didn't stand on ceremony and directly told the people around her, "Go and call the village security office. Tell them that someone here is spreading superstition, and the Yang family members are dressed in mourning clothes and doing something I don't know."
Yang's mother froze.
She's used this trick for fourteen years and has never failed.
The group hesitated, whispering among themselves, "Does the security department handle this?"
She subconsciously felt that this was a private matter between the Yang family and Gou Dan's family.
After all, he really did die because of Gou Dan.
That's why Yang's mother was able to act like a tyrant in the village for so many years.
Everyone was doing it out of respect for Boss Yang.
Qiao Wanyue's eyes widened. "Of course we care. That family is spreading superstition and making a scene in the village. It's quite frightening. Aren't you afraid?" She deliberately lowered her voice.
Those surrounding them instantly got goosebumps.
Although the crackdown on traditional superstitions is severe, people are still fundamentally afraid of being tainted by evil spirits.
