The old man interrupted the old woman sharply.
"You old hag, just give up on your ideas. Don't forget what an important day it is tonight."
"Old man, I know tonight is especially important, but we've already spent tens of thousands of dollars hiring the sorcerers. How can we refuse money that's been handed to us?"
Xiaoxi and the others then heard the voices of several other adult men, mostly the old man's sons.
"Mom, I advise you not to meddle. We've already done something illegal in order to arrange a ghost marriage for our fourth son tonight."
"Yes, Mom, don't you think you've made enough money? Wang Yueyue's computer and phone are all 90% new, and they're all this year's models, so they're worth a lot of money."
"Your uncle's family moved to Guangdong Province and asked us to look after their yard. But you insisted on renting it out, and the monthly rent is quite high."
Our village has beautiful scenery, and we get a lot of outsiders who come here. As for the people living in that courtyard now, Mom, don't get any ideas. Just focus on getting things done for Fourth Brother tonight, and avoid any unnecessary complications.
The old man continued to lecture his wife.
"Yes, the sons are right. The fourth one has been gone for a year. You can't just let him live as a ghost down there, can you?"
Finally, the fourth brother has taken a liking to that girl Wang Yueyue. Tonight, we'll make that girl die.
"We're doing murder after all, so don't cause any more trouble, lest our whole family end up inside working as sewing machines."
The old woman gave an "oh," clearly unimpressed.
Then Xiaoxi and the others never heard the neighbors mention killing Feng Yueyue that night to arrange a ghost marriage for their son again; they only heard the sound of cups and bowls clattering.
The whole family must have been very nervous, as they buried themselves in their food and ate frantically.
Ye Lingfeng was horrified when he heard this, and then slammed his hand on the table.
"This is outrageous! What era are we living in? There are still such despicable things as ghost marriages! No, we have to go and save Wang Yueyue."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to rush out.
"Ye Lingfeng, sit down! I think all that time you've spent as an assassin has been for nothing. Why are you so impulsive?"
Xiao Xi sneered and stopped Ye Lingfeng, while also giving Xiao Nai a wink.
"Bu Luo Qingyun, I think you've been too idle lately. You've even forgotten the most basic business knowledge. What evidence do you have to go out now?"
Although Wang Yueyue is lying next door, she must be unconscious. Since that family was able to get her there, they must have their own methods.
You've already alerted them before the appointed time. What if they say that Wang Yueyue is sick and that they, as the landlords, should take good care of her? I wonder how you'll handle that then.
Didn't I say that I invited a medium? If the medium hasn't arrived yet, I just need to make a phone call and the medium won't show up next door.
So your impulsiveness will only make things worse.
Even if they save Wang Yueyue today, since they've already decided to arrange a ghost marriage for their son, they can always target Zhang Yueyue or Li Yueyue instead!
Xiao Nai rolled her eyes at Ye Lingfeng, "How did I end up teaching such a big idiot as a disciple?"
Even the usually taciturn Mu Hao spoke up at this point.
"Yes, Xiao Nai is right. We researchers all know that once we set a goal, we should proceed step by step. Impulsive actions will only lead to bad things!"
Ye Lingfeng was looked down upon by everyone and immediately wilted. His performance in the afternoon and the analysis at the dinner table had their points canceled out.
Ye Xingxian smiled faintly, "Eighth Brother, what's the rush? I've already dealt with the gold chain you were wearing today. That old woman can't resist the temptation, she'll come to me on her own later."
