Chapter 167 Father and Stepmother Arrested
"Yes, they beat us up as soon as they arrived. These are the ones who should be arrested! You're randomly arresting people, omitting those who should be arrested and arresting those who shouldn't. I'm going to sue you!"
The officer said impatiently, "There's evidence all here. Look how badly this kid was beaten, and he still has the nerve to act so arrogantly! Take them all away!"
The police officers escorted the man and woman away. The leader, seeing that the child was in bad shape, frowned and said, "You should take the child to the hospital right away. The child is yours. Here is my business card. Call me if you need anything."
He handed his business card to Zhang Tietou and left.
The child was burning up with fever and said in a weak voice, "Mommy, I want to see Mommy so much. Grandma—Uncle—Sister—If I die, will I be able to see my mommy again—"
Everyone felt a pang of sadness, guessing that the child's biological mother was probably dead, or that she had abandoned her long ago and run away.
"Little Flower, don't talk nonsense. You will get better and grow up happily."
Everyone comforted the child. Upon hearing this, the child closed her eyes and seemed to fall into a coma. Yu Xiaolu checked her pulse, placed her fingers on her forehead, and channeled some spiritual energy into her to keep her alive. "Take her to the hospital first."
“Okay, I’ll go.” Zhang Tongshou quickly got into the car with the driver and took the child to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The remaining people were there to discuss the matter of performing a ritual for the old lady's soul.
“Grandma, I’ve asked Master Yu to help you pass on to the afterlife. You can go in peace.” Zhang Houwen looked at the old lady. “Don’t worry about Xiaohua. I will adopt her as my granddaughter and make sure she lives a life of plenty. I will not let her suffer any grievances and will treat her like my own granddaughter.”
Yu Xiaoluo nodded. "Grandma, don't worry, Xiaohua's misfortune has passed, and she will live a prosperous and smooth life from now on. Meeting you was her blessing. At the same time, because you saved her, your merits have increased, and you will be very happy in your next life. As for your accidental death, there's no need to dwell on it anymore. Your wicked parents have received their retribution, and Xiaohua's parents will also receive their due punishment. They may spend the rest of their lives in prison, and they won't be able to harm Xiaohua."
Zhang Houwen was very moved when he heard this. "Grandma, we will continue to do good deeds and accumulate more public virtue."
At this moment, the old lady completely let go of her worries and grudges. She looked at Zhang Houwen and Zhang Tietou and sighed with emotion, "Seeing that all of your descendants are doing well, I am relieved."
Zhang Tiexin showed the old lady a family photo on his phone, saying, "Great-Grandma, look, we have a large family now. Thanks to you, everyone is doing well."
The old lady looked at the photo and couldn't stop smiling. "It's so good, so good. A house full of children and grandchildren, and all the children are so energetic. I'm so content."
She reached out and touched the photo, but couldn't actually touch it; tears of relief welled up in her eyes.
The old lady looked at Yu Xiaoluo, Zhuo Fan, and Bao Shuoyu, "Thank you, thank you for bringing your grandson to see me. Thank you for saving Xiaohua because of you."
She glanced at Zhang Houwen and Zhang Tietou, waved to them, and said, "I'm leaving now. Take care."
Suddenly, her whole body shone with golden light, and then she walked into the distance until she disappeared.
This mission was simpler than the previous ones and was already over. Zhang Houwen shook hands with Yu Xiaoluo and said, "Thank you for your great help."
He looked at Zhang Tietou, who handed him a check. "Master Yu, this is one million. Please accept it. By the way, Master Yu, will you still be in Zhang County tomorrow?"
"It's quite far from here, I might go back tomorrow."
"Okay, if it's convenient, could you please take a look at the feng shui of our house?"
"OK."
Yu Xiaoluo accepted the money without hesitation. Zhuo Fan's eyes widened. "My God! So the owner of the establishment has a million dollars as soon as he appears!"
He didn't know about the five million or ten million, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to stay at the deputy director's office.
"Okay, let's go first and go to the hospital to see that little girl. I hope she'll be alright."
So the Zhang family went to the hospital to see the little girl. They also planned to go to a nearby town, find a nice hotel to stay in for the night, and then go back the next day.
Seeing them come out, some villagers who had been gathered around came over. An older woman said to Yu Xiaoluo and the others, "You are such good people. This girl has such a hard life. Da Luo and his wife are both scoundrels. We have called the police many times, but it was no use."
Zhuo Fan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Auntie, that woman is her stepmother, but what about her biological mother? Hasn't she come to see Xiaohua?"
The older woman's expression turned a little unnatural. She pulled Yu Xiaoluo aside and lowered her voice, saying, "Xiaohua's mother is dead. Mother and daughter both suffered the same fate. Her mother was always very honest and hardworking, but she was too kind. Even when her husband brought other women home, she didn't dare to say a word. She was probably afraid of being beaten."
"When she first married into the family, her family gave her a lot of dowry, but Da Luo squandered it all. Seeing that there was no money to be made, he would beat and scold Xiao Hua's mother. Later, he forced Xiao Hua's mother to stage accidents on the street. When a car came, he would make her lie down on the road. When Xiao Hua's mother refused, he would beat her until she lay down."
"They did make some money through this extortion, but one time a big truck came and couldn't stop in time, and it ran over Xiaohua's mother and killed her. Her death was gruesome."
"Because she died unjustly, it is said that her spirit stayed on that road, so the accident rate on that road was very high. Some drivers said that when they were driving normally, a female ghost in red would often suddenly appear on the hood of their car, scaring them and causing accidents. During that period, the accident rate was really high, with several people dying every month. It was very eerie."
"Later, the village chief had that road blocked off and another road was opened. It is said that when people pass by that area at night, they often see a woman in red floating around there. By the way, little girl, are you a master? Were you performing a ritual for someone just now? Although I can't see it, I can guess."
It seems this older woman is a worldly person; she understood it at a glance.
Yu Xiaoluo nodded, lost in thought, when Zhuo Fan said, "Since we're here, why don't we go and see if we can help Xiaohua's mother?"
Bao Shuoyu remained silent, his face expressionless, looking at Yu Xiaoluo like a tool. In any case, everything was up to his Luoluo; if she said yes, it was yes, and if she said no, it wasn't.
Several villagers also gathered around to eavesdrop. When they heard that the villagers were going to help them exorcise the ghost, they were very happy. "Master, please help our village and help Xiaohua's mother too."
