Chapter 1005 (Page 1/2)
Seeing his father embarrass his mother again, Huo Qingyan quickly interrupted, "Dad, do you think there are ghosts in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Junshan glared at Huo Qingyan impatiently and angrily scolded him, "What the hell are you? Have you read so much that it's all gone to waste? Your mother is superstitious, but why are you joining in the fun? You say there are ghosts, but where are they?"
Huo Qingyan was scolded by his father and muttered unconvincedly, "Didn't you say that my son saw my mother-in-law?"
"Chenchen said he saw it, so he saw it?" Huo Junshan retorted, "Then is it possible that he is too timid and scared himself? Don't you know your own son's personality?"
Huo Qingyan looked at his father in disbelief. "Dad, are you saying that my son lied because he was timid and afraid?"
"He may not be lying. Maybe he is dazzled." Huo Junshan explained.
Huo Qingyan still found it hard to understand. He muttered quietly, "How could a child be dizzy?"
"He's been squatting in the toilet for so long, so isn't it normal for him to feel dizzy and dazed?" Huo Junshan said, "When we adults squat in the toilet for so long, not only will our feet go numb, but when we suddenly stand up, the sudden congestion in our heads can also cause dizziness."
Huo Qingyan thought about it and felt that what his father said made sense. Maybe his son was just dazzled.
If ghosts really existed in this world, why hadn't he seen his mother-in-law's ghost in the Song family these past few days?
As for dreaming, it is what you think about during the day that you dream about at night, and you are giving yourself hints.
If his mother-in-law could really show up, it would be at night. How could she show up during the day?
His mother-in-law loves her son the most, so there is no reason for her to scare him.
Despite what her husband and son said, Xiao Ya still believed that there were ghosts in this world. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Zizi had a fever and was talking nonsense. She said she would never take her brother's candy again and asked her grandmother not to beat her.
And last night I felt like I was being paralyzed. I couldn't fall asleep at first, and when I fell asleep in the middle of the night, I kept dreaming. I knew I was dreaming in my dream, and when I struggled to wake up, I couldn't open my eyes. It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest. I even felt someone standing next to the bed..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ya herself shuddered.
Huo Junshan shook his head slowly and explained earnestly:
"Xiaoya, there are no such things as ghosts in this world. The 'sleep paralysis' phenomenon you described is most likely due to your recent high level of nervous tension, which has led to hallucinations.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that you have some underlying heart problems that result in insufficient blood supply."
He paused for a moment and then continued, "After your mother-in-law's funeral, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup!"
Xiao Ya wanted to explain, but she finally sighed, "I know. I'll go get checked after the New Year."
Huo Qingyan, who was standing by, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He looked at his father with a hint of sarcasm, "Dad, you really are a hidden talent! My eldest brother is the medical professional, but why do I feel like you're even more capable than him?"
Huo Junshan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and responded: "Although your father is not engaged in research in the medical field, I am at least an intellectual. I often read various books on weekdays.
Ever since your mother fell ill, I've been reading a lot of your brother's medical books."
Huo Qingyan suddenly understood and nodded, "Oh, I see. Since it's not a ghost, I feel much more at ease."
However, Zizi and Ranran have been feeling unwell these past two days, so why not let them go to the Song family instead of waiting until the sixth and seventh days for the funeral."

Huo Junshan agreed and said, "Well, this arrangement is indeed more appropriate. However, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I may not be able to stay in the city to help you take care of the children."
"Mom is here, let me help take care of her for a few days. I've already asked for leave. Jingjing only has one brother, so I have to step in for some things."
"Alright, go to the Song family and be a filial son. After your mother and I are gone, you will kneel before me for six or seven days."
As soon as Huo Junshan finished speaking, Xiao Ya glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about on New Year's Day?"
At this time, Lin Man brought the food over, and Huo Qingyan finished his meal and hurried to the Song family.
Seeing Huo Qingyan arrive so late, Song Jingjing couldn't help but feel a little worried. She hurried over to him and asked with concern, "Did something happen at home? Why are you here so late?"
Huo Qingyan looked exhausted. He sighed and said slowly, "Zizi and Ranran suddenly had a high fever. Mom and Dad didn't even have time to eat breakfast this morning. They hurriedly took them to the hospital for injections."
Song Jingjing became even more anxious when she heard this, and quickly asked, "So how are they doing now?"
Huo Qingyan comforted them, "The fever has subsided, and the doctor said it's nothing serious. I was worried that the cold weather would make the children sick, so I asked them not to come for the next two days and wait until the last two days. After all, the children are still young, and it would be bad if they were frightened."
Song Jingjing felt a little relieved after hearing this, but she still felt something was wrong. She asked, "What do you mean? Why did you suddenly say that the child would be scared?"
Huo Qingyan hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and finally made up his mind to tell Song Jingjing the truth of the matter:
"Chenchen said that he saw his grandmother standing under the tree in the yard at noon yesterday, waving at him.
This scared him so much that he didn't dare to sleep with Wenwen at night. The two little ones, Zizi and Feifei, were also scared when they heard what he said.
My mom is a timid person, and she was also scared to death. I heard that she even had sleep paralysis last night."
When Song Jingjing heard this, her eyes widened and she shouted in disbelief, "What did you say? You said they were all scared by my mom?"
How is this possible? My mom has always been such a reasonable person, why would she suddenly come out and scare Chenchen? What does your mom's sleep paralysis have to do with my mom? "
Huo Qingyan quickly waved his hands, signaling Song Jingjing to calm down, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Alright, alright, Jingjing, keep your voice down. Chenchen is a timid kid to begin with. He probably spent too long squatting in the bathroom yesterday, and his eyes got blurry, so he started hallucinating. That's why he said he saw his mother-in-law standing under the tree, waving at him.
As for Zizi and Feifei, they were frightened after hearing what Chenchen said. They just like to follow the crowd. My mom may not be feeling well recently, so she has nightmares and sleep paralysis at night.
Song Jingjing said angrily, "Your mom is a coward, and she's blaming my mom for the problem. If there really is something fishy going on, I hope my mom will come out and talk to me..."
"Woo woo woo! Mom, why did you leave so suddenly? I still have so much to say to you!"
Song Jingjing started to break down and cry again. Huo Qingyan didn't know how to comfort her. He could only tear more paper money into the brazier and said silently in his heart:
"Mother-in-law, please rest assured. I will take good care of Jingjing and the child. I know you are worried about your passing. If you have any questions, go to Jingjing and don't go to Chenchen anymore. He is timid and can't stand being scared."
