Chapter 23 Losing Money
Zhang Xia looked terrified and uneasy: "What is a sudden death ghost? It sounds scary."
Chen Wan: "To put it simply, it means a ghost who died suddenly in an accident and was unwilling to die, unable to swallow the resentment."
Zhang Xia asked nervously, "You, what do you mean by him following me? Did you see it?"
Chen Wan nodded: "In the selfie you posted on the forum, he was standing behind you, covered in blood. He must have died from falling from a height."
"You can really see him... then what should I do?" Zhang Xia was almost crying. "My parents have already agreed to the other party, and have received the money. They asked me to go to the other party's house tonight to hold the ghost marriage ceremony. Master, please save me, I don't want to die!"
Shen Wan thought for a moment and asked, "Your biggest obstacle is not the sudden death of a ghost, but your parents."
When Zhang Xia mentioned her parents, she was like a deflated ball. She sighed helplessly, "My parents will definitely not return the money. My mother said she would use the 100,000 yuan to pay the down payment for a small car for my brother..."
Chen Wan looked at her: "It's not difficult to deal with the ghost of sudden death, the difficult part is whether you want to completely get rid of this vampire family."
"I want to, of course I dream about it." Zhang Xia's eyes moistened, "but I have no way. I dropped out of junior high school to work, and I had to hand over all my 3,000 yuan salary every month to my parents. I tried to escape, but they found me every time and scolded me for being unfilial..."
"As long as you are ruthless enough, I will help you." Shen Wan stretched out his hand to her.
Zhang Xia looked at her, who was younger than her brother, and said with tears in her eyes: "Can you really help me? But you look like a teenager."
"Ability has nothing to do with age, believe me."
Shen Wan looked sincere, Zhang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then carefully handed her her hand.
Suddenly there was something extra in my hand.
Zhang Xia opened her palm and saw a folded yellow talisman.
"This is?"
"Amulet." Chen Wan said, "Carry the amulet with you tonight and follow the instructions. I will do the rest."
Zhang Xia held the amulet tightly and nodded vigorously: "If I can escape this disaster, I will listen to you and will definitely escape from this vampire family!"
Afterwards, Shen Wan asked Zhang Xia to take her back.
Zhang Xia was born in an ordinary family. Her parents ran a small business. With two sons and one daughter, the Zhang family should have enjoyed the happiness of family life. However, Zhang's father and mother favored boys over girls. They beat and scolded Zhang Xia since she was a child, and even forced her to work before she finished her studies.
Zhang Xia recounted the pain she had suffered over the years, and Shen Wan listened quietly.
Until I arrived at the door of my house, it was half-open and I could hear voices talking from inside.
"Where has this money-losing bastard gone to? Have you looked for him yet?"
"Yes, she did. Could it be that she changed her mind and ran away?"
"How dare she!" Zhang's father roared, "I raised her up, now it's time for her to repay me. If she dares to run away, I will break her legs if I catch her!"
"Mom and Dad, you promised to buy me a car and a house. You won't go back on your word, right?" Zhang Xia's younger brother Zhang Yaozu only cared about whether he could get the car and the house.
Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Of course I won't break my promise. When we send your sister over tonight, they will transfer the remaining 900,000 yuan to you, and then we will take you to buy it."
Zhang Xia, who was outside the door, heard this and rushed in angrily, "Nine hundred thousand? Isn't it one hundred thousand?"
Father Zhang was relieved to see his daughter finally come back, but he also scolded her: "Where have you been, little girl? There are only two hours left before the ceremony, why don't you go put on your wedding dress!"
Zhang Xia felt very aggrieved: "Dad, are you really going to buy my life with one million?"
Zhang's father and mother looked at each other in surprise.
Zhang's mother hurriedly grabbed her hand and advised: "What do you mean by buying your life? It's just a ritual. It won't kill you."
"One million for just a ceremony?" Zhang Xia couldn't hold back her tears and complained aggrievedly, "You obviously want me to die! Mom and Dad, am I not your child?"
Zhang's father angrily said with a look of annoyance: "Your brother has graduated now. He will get married and have children in the future. The expenses are very high. As a sister, shouldn't you help him?"
"I've raised you for nothing. Why are you so selfish?"
Zhang Xia cried angrily: "I am selfish? You didn't let me go to No. 1 Middle School even though I was admitted. You made me work for ten years to support my brother's expenses. Now you want to use my life to buy money for him to get married and have children. What do I mean to you?"
Zhang's father looked at him coldly, "My daughter is a money-loser by nature. Your brother is different. He can carry on the Zhang family's bloodline and take care of us in our old age. Can you do that? Even if I marry you off, a piece of shit like you can only get a few hundred thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. What good is that!"
"Now someone is willing to offer you one million to marry you in a ghost marriage, so you can just smile secretly!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go change into your wedding dress. Someone will come to pick you up for the ceremony in an hour."
Without thinking twice, Zhang's father pushed Zhang Xia into the room.
"Who are you?" Zhang's mother then noticed Chen Wan standing at the door.
Shen Wan said politely and smilingly: "I am a friend of Sister Xia. I heard that she found a good family. I will be her bridesmaid."
"Bridesmaid?" Mother Zhang didn't think much about it. She pulled her into the house and said with a smile, "Then you should persuade Xiaoxia to stop crying. It's a good day, but it's unlucky."
"Well, I will persuade her." Shen Wan walked into the room and saw Zhang Yaozu lying on the sofa playing games, with snacks and cut fruits on the coffee table.
As the eldest daughter in the family, Zhang Xia has never had her own room since she was a child.
She lived on the balcony, which was separated from the living room by only a board. There was only a wrought iron bed and a large canvas storage box inside, which contained her clothes.
A bright red Chinese wedding dress was placed on the bed, and Zhang Xia was sitting beside it crying.
"Why did they give birth to me if they hated me so much?"
Shen Wan handed her a tissue and said, "It's better to recognize their ugly faces earlier, so you won't feel guilty in the future."
She looked around and saw some evil energy lingering around, but she didn't see the ghost who had died suddenly.
It seems that the ghost who died suddenly has been called back.
The time for the ghost marriage ceremony was approaching, so Chen Wan asked her to change her clothes first, and he would accompany her then.
With Shen Wan's company, Zhang Xia's mood calmed down a little.
Seeing her daughter coming out in bright red, Zhang's mother couldn't stop smiling. "Oh, you usually look so rustic and ugly, but I didn't expect that you would be quite pretty in your wedding dress."
"My daughter, don't be petty or cry after you go there. After the ceremony is completed, I promise you that I will never let you suffer so much again."
