Chapter 8 Filial Daughter 2
◎Come and play some tricks! ◎
Seeing Yan Yue going into the City God Temple, Sun Yun and Zhou Lin did not dare to go in. They watched her take off the red cloak from the clay statue of the City God, and they were so shocked that they could not close their mouths!
“You, you…”
"He will be punished by God..."
Yan Yue said unhappily, "Pah, pah, pah! Look at all the dirt on it, shouldn't the City God clean it up? I'm just washing it for the City God and borrowing it for a while. The City God won't blame me!"
Sun Yun hesitated and said, "Or should I buy some clothes?"
"How can I have money?" Yan Yue was so poor and confident.
Sun Yun and Zhou Lin had always kept a distance of three feet from her, but now they moved it to six feet, as if they were afraid that they would be affected by the divine punishment that would come.
Yan Yue washed and hung up the red cloak, but Bai Chen had not returned yet.
The waiter said the room rate was enough for two days. Yan Yue did not dare to cancel his room. She could only pray to the City God silently in her heart, hoping that the City God would bless her to collect the debt smoothly tomorrow. In this way, even if the room fee was deducted, she could just move to another room and wait, at least she would not sleep on the streets.
The next day, Yan Yue got up early and rushed to Sun Yun's house, but found it empty.
They waited hungry and dry until the evening before their family came back.
Sun's mother held the child in her arms and sat on the ox cart, while the child's father led the ox and drove it into the yard. The two of them looked dazed and dejected, and Sun's mother's eyes were still a little red. Yan Yue guessed that maybe she had taken the child to see a doctor, and the result was not good.
She quickly moved her numb legs and feet and carefully wrapped the City God's cloak around herself.
Today she deliberately tied her hair into a bun, and her cloak was a little long and touched the ground, but it just made her look a little mysterious.
So when she knocked on the door of the Sun family, Sun Yun's stepfather was originally impatient, but when he saw Yan Yue's outfit, his attitude became very polite.
"This... Master, what can I do for you?"
"I am passing by here and I am extremely thirsty. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to ask for a drink of water?"
The hoarse and deep voice revealed a sense of vicissitudes that was totally inconsistent with his age. The stepfather quickly opened the door: "Convenient, convenient, please come in quickly..."
Yan Yue didn't mean it. Her throat was really about to smoke, and the last bite of food and water she had was the steamed buns and porridge she had in the morning!
Only after drinking three bowls of cold water did Yan Yue feel her throat was better.
After she came to her senses, she pretended to look around, frowning and looking around, shaking her head continuously.
The stepfather quickly asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Yan Yue pretended to be profound and said, "Let me give you a piece of advice. It's better not to stay in this house for too long."
The stepfather was surprised: "Why?"
At this time, Sun's mother came out from the inner room, frowned and looked at Yan Yue: "Where did this charlatan come from? Go away!" She complained to the man: "What a mess you brought home! Have you forgotten the loss you suffered before?"
The stepfather looked hesitant, and Yan Yue hurriedly said, "I don't care about feng shui, and I don't accept gold or silver. I just want to remind you for the sake of this bowl of water. There are too many grievances in this house, and there are two kinds of grievances, which are extremely bad for the family's future generations. Believe it or not, I just have this to say, and then I'll take my leave."
She was about to leave when Sun Yun's stepfather suddenly rushed over to her, kneeling on the ground and grabbing her skirt, begging: "Master! No, no, Master! Master, please save us! Please save us!"
Yan Yue reached out and helped him up, sighing, "These two people are full of resentment. One is not yet forty, and the other is in her twenties. It's not that I don't want to help, but the two people are gone, and the resentment is really hard to resolve. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!"
As she spoke, she glanced at her grandson's mother and saw that she was completely stunned, staring at her with horror.
The stepfather followed Yan Yue's gaze and looked at Sun's mother. As a married couple for many years, he could tell at a glance that his grandson's mother looked strange. He stepped forward, grabbed her collar and asked, "Didn't you say that your late husband died of illness? Why would he be resentful? What are you hiding from me?"
Mother Sun was a little panicked, "No, it's not me... it's not me..." She pushed her husband away, rolled and crawled to Yan Yue's feet, grabbed the corner of Yan Yue's clothes and cried, "This can't be blamed on me... It's not me who hurt him... He wanted to kill himself, how can you blame me?"
Yan Yue was a little confused. She came to collect debts for Sun Yun, so why were they talking about Sun's father? How could she respond?
After some hesitation, Sun Yun's stepfather took out a baby from the house and begged Yan Yue to save the child.
Yan Yue was a little surprised.
The child was at most one year old like an ordinary child, and did not look like he was more than two years old at all. There was a dark aura on his face, and he had a dead silence. She finally understood what those quacks meant by "black forehead".
But Yan Yue doesn't know how to cure diseases. Fortunately, Xi Yang only has one last tooth left, so Sun Yun will probably be able to show up soon. If she delays a bit, Sun Yun might ask the question first, which might make it more credible.
So she said, "I only have a little bit of Taoism, I am afraid I can't save the young master's life. Why don't I summon those two resentful spirits and listen to what they want, what do you think?"
Sun's mother was obviously unwilling: "No, no, no! Immortal Master, you just need to collect the two grievances, or disperse them! I will give you money, I will pay you gold and silver!"
Yan Yue frowned and said, "Madam, these two enemies are right beside you. Are you going to kill them right in front of them? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. They were originally your closest people!"
Mother Sun's face turned pale instantly. She looked around in horror and felt a tingling chill creeping up her body.
Yan Yue mocked, "Now I know why these two grievances are so strong. Do you know that if the resentment and hatred are deep enough, the soul of the deceased can turn into a fierce ghost and take the life personally?"
The stepfather bowed several times to the air around him, muttering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was just timid and said nonsense, don't take it seriously! Let's listen to what you two want, let's discuss it properly, let's discuss it properly..."
The sun had completely disappeared, but there was still some light in the sky, and Sun Yun did not appear.
Yan Yue couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Could it be that this damn girl didn't dare to show up?
The stepfather asked Yan Yue: "Master, do you need to prepare the things needed for the ritual?"
Yan Yue wondered whether she should say "need" to delay the meeting? But she doesn't know what she needs! Talking nonsense will get exposed, right?
"Master?"
While he was hesitating, a breeze blew up in the courtyard, and Sun Yun and Zhou Lin finally appeared!
Yan Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No need. The man doesn't want to show up, but the female ghost is here now."
Sun Yun saluted to Yan Yue, and Yan Yue nodded towards the void, shocking the man and Sun's mother.
The stepfather held the child in his arms and bowed in that direction, saying, "Child, it is our fault that we hid the truth from you. Why do you have any grievances against me? Let the child go! He is innocent... He is your brother..."
“Shut up!”
Yan Yue shouted loudly, which scared her stepfather.
Yan Yue pointed at Sun Yun and said, "She said so."
Sun Yun was already in tears, sobbing and unable to utter a complete sentence.
Yan Yue could only express her request on her behalf, "This girl said that when the lady tricked her into selling herself in a brothel, she was only fifteen years old. Did your mother really treat her as her daughter? If you were sick, would your mother be willing to let your brother become a prostitute?"
Mother Sun lay down in tears, unable to utter a word.
Yan Yue continued to question: "She can't even read, has no skills at all, can only be a low-level prostitute, and suffers humiliation every day. But you never asked her if she was doing well, and every time you wrote to her, you just asked for money."
"You know, in order to make more money, she would specifically take on those patrons with fetishes. She would often be abused until her body was covered in bruises, which would take ten days or half a month to heal! And once she is healed, she would muster up her courage and be ready for the next one!"
Mother Sun cried, "I, I don't know... I thought, I thought they were wearing gold and silver, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks... She never said that..."
Yan Yue said angrily, "You kept asking for money, as if her father would not be able to bear it if she didn't pay! How dare she say that, how dare she stop? She was able to hold on through those days by relying on the thought of curing her father's illness! How dare you?"
"How dare you?!"
The scolding, word by word, made Sun's mother kneel down completely, unable to raise her head anymore.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Yan Yue felt very depressed, but she remembered what her mother had said before, and asked her, "Why did my father suddenly pass away? The doctor clearly said it was not an emergency, and he would get better after taking medicine and recuperating. Did you do something to him?"
Mother Sun burst into tears and choked up while explaining: "It really wasn't me! It really wasn't me... There was a nosy person in the village who saw Yun'er selling herself in a brothel and told her father about it. Her father was so angry that he asked me about it, and I just said one thing, I just said one thing, otherwise where would the money come from to buy medicine for you! His father then..."
"He swallowed carbon and committed suicide..."
Sun Yun was clearly dead, but Yan Yue clearly saw her whole body tremble, and it felt like she died again.
The trembling ghost figure was almost shattered...
"Bitch!"
The stepfather grabbed his grandson’s mother and slapped her hard!
She cursed angrily, "I never thought you were so vicious. You lied to me that my husband died of illness and my daughter went to a brothel voluntarily to make money for the family! If you hadn't done these evil things, how could our son become like this!"
"This should have been your retribution! Now it's happening to our son! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"
Zhou Lin rolled his eyes: "You can even spend the money from selling your stepdaughter's body, why are you pretending to be innocent?"
Yan Yue nodded in agreement, thinking: Now he has completely cleared himself of all blame, do he have any shame at all?
The stepfather slapped Sun's mother hard several times, picked up the child and knelt in front of Yan Yue: "Master, I will divorce this vicious woman tomorrow! Please, let Yun'er let her brother go! It was her mother who did the evil, we are innocent!"
Yan Yue sneered in her heart and said coldly, "Miss Sun Yun said that when she was selling herself in the brothel, you lived in her old house of the Sun family and spent the money she earned. How can you be considered innocent?"
The stepfather turned pale and stammered, "Then she, she wants, how?"
Yan Yue said: "You two are one as husband and wife, and now she wants to settle accounts with you!"
"Except for the money she actually spent on her father's medical treatment, she wants you to return all the money she earned in the past three years!"
