Sitting in the carriage, Chen Qingqing felt a little expectant about what would happen to the Fan family next.
Now that the Fan family members have lost their hair, they must believe that they have offended the gods and will surely restrain themselves from doing evil deeds in the future.
As the carriage entered Qingshui Town, Chen Qingqing lifted the curtain and glanced outside. The soup kitchen was bustling with people, and many disaster victims had happy expressions on their faces.
"The rice porridge is so thick today, I haven't eaten this much in a long time."
"Yes, Mr. Fan has really changed his ways today. I can hardly believe how generous he is."
"Master Fan must have had a change of heart, which is why he cooked the porridge so thick."
...
Listening to the discussions among the disaster victims, Chen Qingqing slightly curled the corners of her lips. It seemed that her hair removal powder was working.
Fan Tong was already starting to feel afraid, and he believed that in the next few days, he would not dare to cut corners or deceive the disaster victims.
The carriage arrived at the Fan family's residence quickly.
When Chen Qingqing was invited into the hall, she saw that Fan Tong and his wife's heads were wrapped up tightly, making them look ridiculous.
She gave a slight bow and asked knowingly, "Master Fan, what brings you here in such a hurry? Has your old illness relapsed?"
Before Fan Tong could speak, Fan Hun burst out laughing, "Miss Chen, you've guessed wrong this time. My father's old illness didn't relapse; he was shaved by a ghost."
"What? Master Fan also had his head shaved off by evil spirits?" Chen Qingqing feigned shock.
“Yes!” Fan Hun grinned mischievously. “Not only my father, but my mother is gone too.”
Chen Qingqing slightly furrowed her brows, a fleeting smile playing on her lips. She looked up again, her eyes regaining their calm, and shook her head in confusion.
"That's impossible. The Fan family has already started distributing porridge. Logically speaking, the evil spirit should have already left. Why is it still causing trouble at the Fan residence? Could it be that something went wrong somewhere?"
As she spoke, she looked at Fan Tong and said, "Master Fan, have you treated the disaster victims according to my instructions, instead of being hypocritical?"
Fan Tong's eyes glazed over, and he forced a lie, "Miss Chen, I absolutely did not deceive you. I sincerely wanted to do good deeds, but who knew it would turn out like this."
"Father, what time is it? Why are you still spouting nonsense?" Fan Hun was so anxious that he jumped up and down. "Miss Chen, to tell you the truth, my father distributed porridge to the disaster victims yesterday, but there were hardly any rice grains in the porridge. He was just fooling people. Otherwise, how could he have suffered retribution?"
Chen Qingqing looked enlightened and shook her head with regret, "So that's how it is. No wonder you and your husband lost all your hair overnight. This is the consequence of your deceiving the gods."
Fan Tong scratched the back of his head, looking miserable. "Miss Chen, I know I was wrong. I sent someone to cook porridge first thing this morning, and I made sure to cook it exactly as you requested. I won't dare to deceive or slack off in the slightest."
“Yes, Miss Chen, you’d better think of a way to drive away the evil spirits from the Fan residence!” Madam Fan hurriedly chimed in.
Chen Qingqing frowned slightly. "It's not easy to drive away this evil spirit. You have thoroughly angered it. Now, if you want to keep the Fan family at peace, you must spend money to avoid disaster."
Fan Tong's heart tightened, as if someone were stabbing him in the heart with a knife. He hurriedly asked, "How can I avoid disaster by spending money?"
After a moment's thought, Chen Qingqing realized that Fan Tong was a rich but heartless man who had committed numerous evils, and that he could not be changed by just a few words.
If things could be changed, they wouldn't do good deeds like giving out porridge without their own conscience or conscience.
In any case, all she could do was persuade people to do good and ensure that the starving disaster victims had something to eat; that was the best she could do.
Chen Qingqing said calmly, "Everything in the world has a cause and effect. Doing good deeds will surely bring blessings, while accumulating evil will surely bring calamities. In my opinion, Master Fan should still prioritize doing good. Distributing porridge can prolong the time and accumulate blessings in this way. I believe that the misfortunes of the Fan family will be resolved one by one."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A servant rushed in and said, "Master Fan, Granny Meng has arrived."
Chen Qingqing looked up and saw a woman in her forties, wearing blue trousers and a jacket, with a large red flower in her hair, walk in.
She sneered inwardly; Fan Tong clearly didn't trust her, so he hired a sorceress.
The sorceress is good at pretending to be a ghost and making things mysterious, but she can fool others but not herself.
She wanted to see how this sorceress would fool people.
Thinking of this, Chen Qingqing remained calm and observed coldly from the sidelines.
Fan Tong quickly greeted her with a smile, "It's an honor to have Granny Meng here. Please come in."
Granny Meng suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring intently at Fan Tong.
Fan Tong felt a chill run down his spine under that gaze; the smile on his face froze instantly, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself,
Is this old woman Meng crazy?
Without saying a word, she stared at him as soon as she entered the room.
Luckily it was daytime; if it were nighttime, that pale face and cross-eyed eyes would have scared him to death.
Madam Fan was also quite frightened by Granny Meng's actions, a chill running down her spine. "Granny Meng, Granny Meng, what, what's wrong with you?"
As if she hadn't heard, Granny Meng continued to stare blankly at Fan Tong.
Seeing his father embarrassed by being stared at by an ugly woman, Fan Hun couldn't help but laugh.
"Dad, don't be shy. Maybe Granny Meng is attracted by your elegant demeanor, which is why she's staring at you."
Fan Tong turned and glared at him, "You brat, don't be rude, this is Granny Meng..."
"Shut up! All of you, don't speak!" Granny Meng suddenly shouted, then stared straight at Fan Hun, approaching him step by step with an extremely chilling expression.
Fan Hun felt his scalp tingle from the stare and took a few steps back in fright. "What are you going to do? I...I've been abstaining from sex lately, so please don't do anything rash."
“Oh dear, this is terrifying,” Granny Meng said mysteriously. “I just used my magic eye to look at you all, and your faces are dark. You have been haunted by evil spirits for a long time. We must use magic to save your lives.”
Upon hearing this, the group nearly wet themselves in fear.
Fan Tong's forehead was covered in sweat. "Master Meng, where is that ghost? Do you have a way to exorcise it?"
Granny Meng looked terrified. "The evil spirit is attached to you. It's lying on your back right now, staring at you with wide eyes. It could snap your neck at any moment."
Fan Tong was so frightened that he couldn't speak coherently, "Ghost, where is the ghost? Get him away from me!"
Granny Meng squinted, having already learned the details of the matter on her way here.
She knew in her heart that those who asked her for favors were people who believed in ghosts and spirits.
Only by making things sound as outrageous can they ask for an exorbitant price.
After all, the Fan family was a wealthy family in Qingshui Town. She was like a piece of fat meat being handed to her, so how could she not take a big bite?
Chen Qingqing almost laughed at the old woman Meng's charlatanry; she was certainly ruthless enough to swindle money.
But this is good. Evil people need ruthless people to deal with them. Let's see how she deals with this rich man, Fan.
Madam Fan was so frightened she almost jumped out of her skin. "Master Meng, quickly cast a spell to get rid of this evil spirit for me!"
Granny Meng shook her head, "It will be difficult to break this!"
