Chapter 71: I Want a Divorce - The Female Ghost's Revenge...
The black-clad messenger frantically stuffed gold into his arms.
Before I could even put in a few, a butt pushed it open.
"Get away from me!"
The white Yin Messenger arrived at some unknown time, and after pushing aside the black Yin Messenger, he directly picked up the brazier.
He poured all the gold into his arms, patted it lightly, and his chest was stained black with paper ash.
"Hey, you old idiot, what are you doing, grabbing it! This is for you!"
The black-clad underworld official tried to rip open the white-clad underworld official's chest, but was slapped away.
Bai Yincha chuckled, hands on his hips, "First come, first served. Whoever gets it first gets it."
He shrugged and coughed twice before looking at Chu Ci.
"Young man, what brings you here today?"
Chu Ci smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just burned a lot of ingots these past two days and thought I'd offer them to the two seniors."
The two underworld messengers, one black and one white, looked at her with smiles, clearly not believing her.
But Chu Ci spread his hands, "This time it really isn't."
She repeatedly emphasized this before the two underworld messengers left, still somewhat doubtful.
After seeing off the two underworld messengers, Chu Ci cleaned up the new shop and returned home close to one in the morning.
She stepped into the elevator alone, and as the elevator doors slowly closed, a chilling feeling crept up from behind her.
A lot happened today, and she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.
Leaning against the corner of the elevator, he closed his eyes and slowly began to speak:
"No need to thank me, I appreciate your kind gesture."
The chilling sensation on my back paused for a moment, then slowly receded.
Stepping out of the elevator, Chu Ci turned her head and glanced at the humanoid black mist in the corner of the elevator, then remained silent for a moment.
"You can't even maintain your human form anymore, you should hurry up and reincarnate."
"Officer Wu is in charge of this series of cases. She is very responsible. Your parents will definitely be alright."
The humanoid black mist remained motionless in the corner of the elevator until the elevator doors slowly closed.
Chu Ci shook his head, raising his voice slightly:
"You stay with your parents every day. They are old, and sooner or later, they will be affected by negative energy."
"When you've decided to reincarnate, remember to come find me!"
The only response she received was the silent stairwell.
Shaking her head helplessly, she opened the door and went back to her own home.
Early the next morning, Chu Ci met his grandmother, who had gotten up early, in the living room.
Grandma stretched, her voice muffled:
"Hey, we used to buy breakfast before coming up to eat, are we going to buy breakfast and eat at the restaurant this time?"
Chu Ci wiped the water droplets off her face with a towel and nodded.
"It's perfect that we're going down together this time; we can each buy what we like to eat."
The two finished packing and went downstairs. As soon as they got downstairs, they saw a familiar grandmother and grandson sitting at a breakfast stall not far away.
They are Uncle Qiu's biological mother and nephew, the old lady who was cursing at the relatives yesterday, and the chubby boy who was given sweet soup by Chu Ci.
The two sat at a breakfast stall, the old lady teaching her grandson:
"Take the breakfast upstairs in a little while, knock on your uncle's door, and say you're bringing them breakfast, understand?"
The chubby boy had clearly been dragged out of bed early, and he was yawning while eating breakfast.
I was so sleepy I could barely keep my eyes open, and my big head almost fell into the bowl several times.
He rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands, reluctantly saying, "Grandma, I don't want to move. You take it for me."
"Give it away? Give it away my ass!"
The old lady poked her grandson's big head, feeling disappointed and disappointed.
"That's an apartment building with an elevator! With this apartment, you'll have a secure future!"
"If you can't even endure this little hardship, how will you accomplish great things in the future!"
The chubby boy raised his chin and said, "Then isn't stealing a house a big deal?"
"you……"
The old lady was so angry she just wanted to punch him.
But soon, the old lady's gaze was drawn to someone in the distance.
When she recognized the man as a relative of her eldest daughter-in-law, her pupils contracted, and she quickly pulled her grandson to her feet.
"Hurry, hurry, don't let anyone beat us to it! Let's go!"
The old lady hurriedly ran past Chu Ci, dragging her big, fat grandson along, and didn't recognize Chu Ci at all when she passed by.
Grandma saw the whole thing, pursed her lips, and whispered gossip to Chu Ci.
"Did you see those two, the grandmother and granddaughter? They're from Master Qiu's family! Not only her husband's family, but her own family is also trying to take the house!"
"How can you be such a relative? They just lost their daughter, and you're already so blatantly eyeing their house."
Watching the old lady run into the building with her grandson, Grandma whispered to her:
"I heard that Master Qiu's husband is a bit blindly filial. Do you think this old lady will succeed?"
Chu Ci lowered her head and ate her breakfast, shaking her head, "No."
"Are you so sure?"
Chu Ci pointed at the building's entrance with her chin, saying, "Just you wait and see."
Sure enough, before they could finish their breakfast, the aggressive Master Qiu chased them out with a kitchen knife.
Not only her mother-in-law and nephew, her husband's family, but even her own family didn't get the better of her.
Master Qiu's eyes were bloodshot as she gripped the kitchen knife, as if she would strike at any moment.
"Yesterday was my daughter's funeral. I don't want to argue with you about what you said or did."
"I've only been here one night, and you've come knocking again!"
"My daughter is gone, but my husband and I are still alive!"
"Trying to take our house? Wait till we're dead!"
Master Qiu's family looked at her with a pitiful expression, "Sister, what are you saying!"
The person who said this must be Master Qiu's younger brother.
He pulled his daughter close to his chest, as if he had a lot of grievances to offer.
"I just thought your place was close to my child's school, so I wanted my child to stay here and spend more time with you!"
"You're being too sensitive and overthinking things!"
The girl he pulled in front of him bit her lip hard, her face burning red.
She tried to leave several times, but her father pulled her back and asked her:
"You silly child, didn't you say you were worried about your aunt and wanted to stay with her?"
"I brought you here to see your aunt, but you're not saying a word. Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
The little girl was pushed in front of him, her brows furrowed tightly, but she dared not contradict her father.
She glanced quickly at her aunt, her eyes slightly red, "I...I didn't say that..."
"Honestly, you child!"
Master Qiu's younger brother wanted to hit the child, but he had to hold back because there were many people watching.
He pushed his daughter towards Master Qiu, ignoring the fear in her eyes, and said directly:
"Sister, don't you like daughters? I've brought my daughter here, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"All you ever think about is houses. When did I ever say I was asking you for a house?"
Seeing that Master Qiu was holding the knife and remained silent, he simply turned and left, leaving behind only the words:
"Anyway, your place is close to the school where the child goes, so it's convenient to take the child to and from school. I'll leave the child here with you."
"Don't send it back to me! It's Mom's decision to leave the child with you. If you have anything to say, go talk to Mom!"
"Dad! Dad!"
The little girl chased after him crying, but was pushed back.
"Go find your aunt, what do you want with me!"
He rode away on his motorcycle, leaving the little girl behind, crying and wiping away her tears.
Seeing the little girl's miserable state, Grandma Qiu's grandson stared in shock.
He grabbed his grandmother's trouser leg tightly, "Grandma, you can't leave me here!"
"Otherwise, when you get old and can't move, I'll kick you out too!"
"You little brat, how dare you talk to your grandma like that again!" The old lady was so angry she was practically smoking.
She pinched her grandson hard, scolding him while secretly observing her eldest daughter-in-law's reaction.
But the eldest daughter-in-law, who is usually soft-hearted, seemed not to see her niece from her maternal family and turned away.
The little girl chased after her, crying, "Auntie! Auntie..."
She tried to grab Master Qiu's clothes, but her hand was slapped away.
"Don't look for me, go find your dad!"
Seeing the resentment in the little girl's eyes, she hesitated, but couldn't help speaking up:
"Your current state is your father's fault. If you want to find someone, go find your father."
“I can’t take you back to my house as your dad and grandma said. You should go back.”
After saying that, she turned and tried to leave.
But the little girl cried and grabbed her clothes, "Auntie, Auntie, don't leave me here alone."
"I'm scared! If I walk back by myself, my dad and grandma will definitely beat me!"
The little girl's eyes were swollen from crying, and her face turned even redder under the gaze of the onlookers.
"Please, Auntie, don't make me go back alone..."
"..."
As Master Qiu looked at her face, which bore a resemblance to her deceased daughter, and felt a pang of pity, two voices came from behind her.
"Master Qiu, is this your niece?"
She turned around and saw two young female office workers who lived next door to her.
Looking at the two girls who were about the same age as her daughter, Master Qiu's eyes glazed over for a moment before she nodded.
"Yes, my niece."
The girl with the high ponytail asked, "Are you taking her back?"
She smiled and pointed to the car waiting not far away, "Where does this child live?"
"We left early today, so we can help take it back."
Master Qiu's eyes lit up. "Is that alright?"
She didn't know why the two children, who were just nodding acquaintances, suddenly offered to help, but she was very grateful to them for lending a hand.
After sending her niece into the two girls' car, Master Qiu turned her head to look at her mother-in-law standing not far away, and clenched the kitchen knife in her hand.
old lady:"……"
She glanced at the kitchen knife in her eldest daughter-in-law's hand, swallowed hard, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"What...what are you looking at? I'm your mother-in-law, are you going to kill me?"
Master Qiu sneered, "Why don't you come up and try?"
Her gloomy gaze fell on the chubby boy, who burst into tears.
"Grandma, please don't kill me!"
"If you kill me, you'll have no grandson!"
"I want to go home!"
The chubby boy cried so hard he screamed like a banshee, and Chu Ci couldn't help but burst out laughing. Grandma couldn't help but laugh too.
The onlookers burst into laughter, but the little fat boy's grandmother's expression kept changing.
He slapped the chubby boy, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
She pulled the chubby boy away, cursing as she went:
"You good-for-nothing, I've taught you how to say it, how could you possibly get it wrong!"
"When you grow up and can't find a wife, let's see if you regret it!"
Master Qiu, clutching the kitchen knife, watched them walk away. When she saw Chu Ci, she instinctively wanted to come over.
But then he realized the kitchen knife in his hand and stopped abruptly.
Chu Ci pointed in the direction of his shop and smiled, "If you need anything, you can come to the shop to find me."
Master Qiu forced a smile and nodded, then picked up the kitchen knife and went upstairs.
Around 10 a.m., Yuan Yuling arrived on time with her daughter and husband.
Her husband was initially a little impatient, but when he saw how well the shop was located and how big it was, his attitude immediately improved.
He even took the initiative to offer his business card to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci then realized that he was an investment broker who specialized in introducing investment projects to people.
Yuan Yuling watched as he immediately tried to introduce investment projects to Chu Ci, pursed her lips, and interrupted him:
"Let's not talk about that now. Today's main topic is Kang Kang."
To Chu Ci's surprise, Yuan Yuling's husband did not show any impatience at his wife interrupting him.
He held his daughter, who was thrashing around in his arms, and laughed as he agreed, "Yes, yes, my wife is right, it's mainly the child."
He looked at Chu Ci expectantly, "I've heard that Miss Chu is very skilled in medicine. I wonder which university abroad she graduated from?"
"Why would they suddenly rent this psychic medium's shop?"
Chu Ci: "??"
She looked at Yuan Yuling, who looked at her pleadingly.
Chu Ci: "..."
So that's what she said to her husband.
She didn't answer Yuan Yuling's husband's question, but instead carefully looked at the man's face.
The man felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at, and looked back with an unnatural smile.
Suddenly raising an eyebrow, he said, "Miss Chu looks familiar. Have we met before?"
Yuan Yuling's breath hitched, and she quickly said, "Miss Chu is very famous. You may have seen her in the newspapers, right?"
Hearing her say that, the man looked at Chu Ci as if she were a tempting target.
"So that's how it is! No wonder Miss Chu looked familiar!"
He tried to get closer to her, but Chu Ci shook her head and asked instead:
"What is your name, sir?"
"My surname is Zhou."
"Oh, Mr. Zhou."
Chu Ci looked at him, then at the well-behaved Kang Kang in his arms, and smiled:
"Mr. Zhou has a very good face; he seems destined to have many children."
Yuan Yuling's husband's smile was somewhat stiff, but he maintained a very good attitude towards Chu Ci, a potential client.
"Miss Chu can read faces? But I don't believe in that."
"Moreover, my wife is in poor health, and we don't plan to have any more children."
"Yeah?"
Chu Ci looked at him and smiled.
"Although Mrs. Zhou's health is not very good, I don't think it seems to affect the number of Mr. Zhou's children."
Yuan Yuling's husband's expression changed, his smile vanished, and his voice turned cold:
"I don't understand what Miss Chu is saying."
"If Miss Chu is a doctor but is superstitious, then please excuse me."
He picked up his daughter and was about to leave when Yuan Yuling quickly grabbed his clothes.
"Speak properly."
Chu Ci glanced at him, turned around, poured a glass of water, and pushed it in front of Yuan Yuling's husband.
"I apologize to Mr. Zhou for being too harsh."
Yuan Yuling's husband glanced at the clear water in front of him, then looked at the well-decorated shop out of the corner of his eye.
Ultimately, his desire to do business prevailed, and he smiled slightly.
"I should also apologize; I was too impulsive just now."
He downed the water in the glass in one gulp, and couldn't help but frown.
Looking at the empty glass with a puzzled expression, he said, "This water... isn't plain water."
"Of course it's not plain water, it's talisman water."
Chu Ci's smile remained unchanged.
"Mr. Zhou has been having affairs all these years, and he must have forced many women to have abortions, right?"
Before she could finish speaking, Yuan Yuling's husband glared at her, shoved their daughter into his wife's arms, and slammed his hand on the table.
"What do you mean?"
He angrily pointed at Chu Ci.
"You started being sarcastic the moment I walked in. Is this how a doctor behaves?"
Yuan Yuling quickly stood behind Chu Ci with her daughter in her arms.
When she met her husband's questioning gaze, she pursed her lips into a straight line.
The husband stared at her in disbelief: "Wife, you'd rather believe her than..."
"This matter has nothing to do with Master Chu."
Yuan Yuling held her daughter, her voice cold.
"All these years, you've been messing around with different women. Do you really think I haven't noticed?"
"I only kept this secret from you because of Kang Kang!"
“Every time you come back from a business trip, even if you've showered and changed your clothes, those marks on your body can't be hidden!”
"I've put up with you for so many years because I thought you were a good person, but what happened?"
She stared intently at her husband, her eyes gradually reddening.
"You're no different from my mom, you two are exactly the same!"
"No, honey! I'm not like her!"
Her husband looked at the injury on her face and nervously took two steps forward to explain, but was blocked by Chu Ci.
"Say what you want to say, but don't go any further."
Upon seeing Chu Ci, Yuan Yuling's husband finally found an outlet for his anger.
"What good does it do you to instigate my wife to divorce me?!"
“This has nothing to do with Master Chu!” Yuan Yuling tried to step forward to explain, but Chu Ci stopped her.
She waved her hand, indicating that Yuan Yuling didn't need to explain.
Chu Ci turned to look at Yuan Yuling's husband: "You've been messing around outside for so many years, and you've forced many women to have abortions."
"Of course, you might say that all those women get pregnant voluntarily, but no one knows better than you how many of them are voluntary and how many are forced."
"Your daughter shouldn't have to pay for the sins you've committed."
Seeing her rambling and delirious manner, Yuan Yuling's husband chuckled.
"If you're sick, go take your medicine. Don't go crazy at me."
He tried to reach for his wife's hand by bypassing Chu Ci's, but Yuan Yuling shoved him away.
"Don't touch me! I want a divorce!"
Her husband seemed to have been struck by lightning, instantly freezing in place.
"Ah Ling?"
Looking up at his wife's reddened but determined eyes, he was stunned for a long time before suddenly letting out a sigh of relief.
Yes! I did cheat on my partner!
He found a seat, sat down, and ran his fingers through his hair.
"But I love you! It's because you're not healthy enough to satisfy me that I went to find someone else!"
"Because I love you, I have never had any illegitimate children, nor have I let those women cause trouble in front of you!"
In my heart, only you are worthy of bearing my child!
"With my abilities and my personality, I've done all this for you."
"Isn't that enough?!"
Chu Ci: "..."
Her lips twitched; she was completely stunned by the man's words.
Yuan Yuling also looked like she was meeting a man for the first time, "You..."
Her voice was full of disbelief, "You think that you cheated on me and made me have an abortion, all for my own good?"
The man retorted firmly, "Isn't that right?!"
Yuan Yuling: "..."
Chu Ci: "..."
Chu Ci closed his eyes, feeling that his ears were dirty.
Yuan Yuling tried to speak several times, but was met with a silent laugh.
Finally, not wanting to argue, she closed her eyes and calmly said:
"Let's get a divorce. This is a notice, not a request for your consent."
Her husband was about to say something in a fit of anger when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He quickly answered the phone and glanced at his wife with some disappointment.
"I'll give you three days to think it over. If you still have this idea, I'll have to ask your mother to come and mediate."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out and drove away.
Holding her daughter, Yuan Yuling watched him leave, standing there, trembling with anger.
"He's threatening me with my mother!"
"yes."
Chu Ci watched her husband's car drive away and nodded haphazardly.
Only after the car outside had completely disappeared from sight did she turn to look at Yuan Yuling.
"Go put on some makeup to cover up the injury on your face."
Yuan Yuling, who was on the verge of tears, was speechless.
She blinked. "Master?"
Chu Ci glanced at her daughter in her arms, and seeing Kang Kang staring at her with bewildered eyes, pointed to the television in the room:
"Kang Kang, why don't you go inside and watch TV?"
Kang Kang glanced at her mother, and seeing her mother nod, she smiled.
"good!"
After the child entered the house, Yuan Yuling wiped away her tears.
"Master, please speak your mind."
Chu Ci: "Your husband has provoked someone he shouldn't have, but his yang energy is too strong, so he can't take direct action against you. He can only target your daughter."
"The talisman I just used has reduced the yang energy in your husband, so he's probably going to do something to him now."
-
As Zhou Yueshan drove, he saw the ornament his wife had given him in the car, and his mood became irritable.
He threw the ornament out of the car and ground his teeth together.
He muttered a few foul curses when his mobile phone suddenly rang.
"I told you, I'll be there right away. You need to hold off the customers for now!"
As soon as the call connected, he shouted into the other end of the line.
"Didn't I tell you? Can't you understand human language?!"
But after he angrily uttered his words, there was no answer on the other end of the phone, only the heavy breathing that was hard to ignore.
Zhou Yueshan laughed in anger, "You guys are all going to turn the world upside down today, aren't you?"
"What's wrong with me cursing at you a couple of times? And you dare to give me attitude!"
"Fine, you just wait and see. If you give me that attitude, I'll fire you!"
He tossed the mobile phone onto the passenger seat, but it started ringing again as soon as he put it down.
"Damn it, are you kidding me?!"
He hung up the phone, but it kept ringing.
"Are you crazy?!" he yelled as he answered the phone.
There was no one speaking on the phone, but this time there was no breathing; instead, there was the sound of a woman's low sobbing.
Zhou Yueshan glanced at the phone and frowned.
"Hello?"
He lowered his voice and called out to them, but the crying only grew louder.
He felt a chill run down his spine, perhaps because he had just been frightened by that eccentric woman.
"Who is it? What kind of prank is this?!"
He shouted in that direction, and the woman's low sobs began to rise, making him feel increasingly uneasy.
His hand trembled, and he quickly tossed the mobile phone aside.
As if trying to bolster his own spirits, he muttered to himself, "What's going on! Whose phone is this? They keep calling!"
Before he could finish speaking, the car suddenly stopped halfway and wouldn't budge no matter how he tried to start it.
He clicked his tongue and got out of the car to check, only to find that the usually bustling street was now completely deserted.
A chill ran down his spine, and he scrambled to get into the car.
The loud noise from the cell phone in the passenger seat became increasingly unbearable.
He wasn't even sure if he was hallucinating, but he also heard the sound of fingernails scratching against the car door.
With trembling hands, he rolled up all the car windows, nervously peered inside, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure he was alone.
"Who is it! Who is it?!"
He stared intently at the mobile phone in the passenger seat, his face pale as he huddled in the corner.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he was tormented by fear to the point of no return.
Until fear turned to anger, he picked up the phone and yelled:
"What do you want? Stop crying and talk to me!"
"Yuan Yuling, it's you, isn't it! It must be you, say something!"
The woman's crying on the phone grew louder and louder, and there was even a faint sound of fingernails scratching at the door.
"Help me...help me..."
The cell phone was filled with the sounds of crying, mixed with a woman's sobbing pleas for help.
"I don't want an abortion anymore, let me out..."
"Please, let me out..."
Zhou Yueshan felt that the woman's voice was somewhat familiar, but he had slept with too many women and couldn't remember who it was.
The scratching sound of fingernails on the door grew louder and louder inside the mobile phone, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Zhou Yueshan suddenly shuddered when the sound of fingernails scratching at the door on the phone surpassed the sound of fingernails scratching at the door outside the phone.
He realized a problem:
Was the scratching sound of fingernails on the door that he thought was "outside the car" really coming from outside the car?
