Chapter 45: Sleepwalking

Zhang Hua didn't even dare to go to class and hid at home. She thought she might be too nervous and had hallucinations, so she treated it as a dream.

She thought it would be fine to take a nap in broad daylight, since her mother-in-law was out playing cards and her son was still in school. But just as she fell asleep, that dark face appeared in front of her, and the rolling pin in his hand was knocking carelessly on his palm.

Zhang Hua shuddered all over and wanted to wake up, but he couldn't do it.

"It seems that you have not learned your lesson from what I, an old woman, said. Is it because the beatings you received were not enough?"

Zhang Hua panicked and pleaded, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to, but the money is in the hands of the child's father, I can't do anything."

She suddenly saw Tian Zhaodi standing behind her, and thinking that she was suffering because of her, she became brave and glared at Tian Zhaodi, pointing at her and cursing;

"You are a death star. You can't even let people rest in peace after death. Your grandmother has been dead for more than ten years. How dare you do this? Let me tell you, can the living be afraid of the dead?"

When Tian Zhaodi heard that familiar and vicious voice and saw that her grandmother looked a little angry, her pent-up anger finally erupted.

Her neck began to make crackling sounds, and she walked towards Zhang Hua step by step, changing as she walked...

Zhang Hua watched as the flesh on her face began to dissolve. One of her eyeballs fell out of its socket with blood. Half of her face was covered in blood and flesh, but she still had a weird smile on her face.

"Mom, I died tragically..."

As he said this, he stretched out his crushed arm towards her. With a snap, the arm broke and fell to the ground.

Zhang Hua's eyes were wide open. She thought it was bad luck to go to the police station, so she never went to identify the body. She never knew what Zhaodi looked like when she died.

Now that it was shown to her so vividly, her heart almost stopped beating...

Grandma was afraid that she would scare someone into something bad, kill someone, and affect reincarnation, so she stepped forward to stop Tian Zhaodi and said, "I warn you, Zhaodi will die with regrets and won't be able to go to the underworld to report. If you want to be well, then do as I say. Otherwise, I can't take her away, and she will pester you every day in the future!"

When Zhang Hua woke up again, she was lying on the ground. The strong feeling of fear almost drove her crazy. She finally realized that this was not a dream, but her mother and daughter really came back to find her.

She quickly got up and called her husband, crying and shouting, "Husband, please come back soon, my mother and Zhaodi are here."

Listening to her nonsense, Tian Feng was extremely annoyed. "Are you annoying, bitch? Don't you know I'm playing cards? I'm having a bad day today, and you're still making things worse for me!"

"No, no, honey, I'm telling the truth."

"Get lost! If I don't win today, I'll beat you to death when I come back!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone. She looked around nervously, afraid that they would escape from somewhere. She curled up in the corner of the sofa, hugging a pillow, looking for a little comfort.

Although she was extremely sleepy, she dared not fall asleep. Every time her eyelids drooped, she pinched her palms hard.

She persisted until the afternoon, when her mother-in-law finally came back with her son. When she heard the news, she quickly ran to the door.

"You are at home, why didn't you go to work? If you didn't go to work, why didn't you tell me that I had to go pick up my grandson in the middle of the fight."

The mother-in-law was very dissatisfied and threw the schoolbag at Zhang Hua. Tian Tianci came back and kicked his shoes here and there, then spread them on the sofa and shouted;

"I'm thirsty."

The mother-in-law pushed Zhang Hua and said, "Why are you daydreaming? My grandson is thirsty. Hurry up and give him a drink!"

Zhang Hua took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and handed it to Tian Tianci like a zombie.

He took a sip, burped, and said impatiently, "I'm hungry!"

The mother-in-law looked at the cold pot and stove and poked her head, "You have learned to be lazy at home. You don't work or cook. Do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Hua then remembered her son. She said concernedly, "Don't worry, son. Mom will order takeout for you."

"I want fried chicken and burgers!"

Seeing that her grandson was about to eat junk food and unable to stop him, the mother-in-law took out all her dissatisfaction on Zhang Hua and kept scolding her behind her grandson's back.

After finally making it till twelve o'clock in the evening, Tian Feng arrived home with an unexpected look on her face. Zhang Hua hurried to the door to greet her. Tian Feng glared at her and lost consciousness.

"Are you looking for trouble? You have to tell me about your damned mother and the money loser when I'm gambling. Are you deliberately trying to make me lose money?"

Zhang Hua quickly covered his mouth, looked around nervously, and spoke nervously.

"Don't talk nonsense. They can hear you. I saw Zhaodi today. She looked horrible."

Tian Feng didn't take it seriously. "The person is dead, what kind of waves can they make? I tell you, people are 30% afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are 70% afraid of people!"

Zhang Hua wanted to cry but had no tears. She really had no way of fulfilling her mother's request. The thought of being beaten if she fell asleep made her feel broken.

Tian Feng lost money today and seeing his wife looking weird, he didn't bother to pay attention to her and went back to his room and went to sleep.

Zhang Hua was left alone. She quickly rushed into the quilt and leaned tightly against Tian Feng. Soon she heard his snoring.

She tried to hold her eyelids...

Until my eyelids become heavier and heavier and slowly close.

She looked at the scene in front of her, wanting to cry but unable to, "Mom, please let me go. I will burn paper for you in the future. I can't make the decision in this family. They won't listen to me."

Grandma ignored him and said, "Since you can't make the decision, I'll go find them!"

Zhang Hua was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard this, he quickly stopped her, "Mom, don't scare Tianci. He's still young and can't stand being scared. He's your grandson."

Grandma looked at Zhaodi's gloomy expression, picked up a stick and hit her on the shoulder, causing her to grimace in pain.

"I only have one grandson, Zhaodi, and she is dead. I will not let you wrong my darling daughter again! You will not soil her reincarnation path!"

Zhang Hua was awakened by a burst of frantic screams. When she opened her eyes, she saw Tian Feng rolling on the ground. No matter how she screamed, it was of no use.

He wailed from time to time, causing everyone in the room to turn on the lights. He couldn't sleep well for two days, and both mother-in-law and Tian Tianci were a little annoyed.

As a result, when he entered the room, he found his son squirming on the ground. He hurried forward to help him, but he was slapped by his son and fell to the side. Tian Tianci went to help his grandmother.

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

"Dad, wake up quickly."

Zhang Hua was familiar with this scene. She said nervously, "He was probably sleepwalking. I heard that people who are sleepwalking should not be woken up suddenly, otherwise they will go crazy."

The mother-in-law panicked, "Sleepwalking? I've never heard of him having this habit."
