Chapter 423: The bribe in the mouth
The more Chai Wenyu read netizens’ comments, the colder he felt down his spine.
He swallowed and asked with a trembling voice, "Host, could it be true, as netizens say, that I will be the next to die?"
Bai Ningyu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Do you think your great aunt will let you go?"
Having said this, Bai Ningyu paused for a moment before continuing, "However, your great aunt intends to use your life as a scapegoat."
"A scapegoat?" Upon hearing this, Chai Wenyu gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently, his heart filled with uncontrollable anger.
Chai Wenyu suddenly stood up and knelt down towards Bai Ningyu, pleading with red eyes, "Host, I don't ask for anything else, I only ask you to help me and my family get revenge.
I can die, but I don't want to be that old woman's scapegoat. As long as I can get revenge, I will accept it no matter what the price!"
[That old woman is such a piece of shit! She's trying to kill us all! Host, please help Chai Wenyu!]
I'm just confused. Why would Chai Wenyu's great-aunt target her brother's family? Is there some kind of feud between the older generations?
[Don't worry, evil people like your aunt will definitely get the retribution they deserve. Host, do you think I'm right?]
"Chai Wenyu, you don't have to do this. Since I've accepted your reward, I will definitely help you.
Besides, this isn't your fault in the first place, why should you pay the price?
Netizens are right. Those who try to use improper means to get things that do not belong to them should pay the price. "
After hearing Bai Ningyu's words, Chai Wenyu, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped the tears from his face, and stood up with many thanks, saying, "I remember that when grandpa was still alive, the relationship between our two families was quite good.
Grandpa would often mail things to this great aunt in another province, and she would occasionally mail some clothes and food to Grandpa, but I never heard of her having any grudges with my family.
Bai Ningyu fumbled with the teacup on the table with her snow-white fingers and said, "It's not that we didn't celebrate the festival, it's just that your grandfather didn't know about it, or he never thought that his sister would hold a grudge against him for so long because of such a small thing.
In their time, having enough food to eat was considered a luxury, let alone anything else.
Your grandfather's family was poor, and he finally got married to your grandmother when he was 29 years old.
At that time, your grandfather was getting married and your great aunt was going to college, so the family was living a very difficult life.
Originally, your great-grandfather was planning to make a new dress for his daughter who was admitted to university, but the matchmaker said that your grandmother's family wanted a dowry of fifty yuan.
There isn't much money at home, and your grandfather is really old, so the marriage can't be delayed any longer.
So your great-grandfather didn't buy that new dress for his daughter, your great aunt, and left all the money for your grandfather to marry.
Your great aunt always thought that it was because she didn't have decent clothes to wear to school that the boy she liked rejected her and was with other female classmates.
Because of this incident, she hated your grandfather for the rest of her life.
But she forgot that if it weren't for her education, your grandfather would have married and had children long ago, why would he wait until he was 29?"
[Fuck! Back then, sons were highly valued. Even in the city, it was rare for a family to send a girl to school, let alone in the countryside. It was truly unappreciative of the blessings they had!]
[But I don't understand one thing: why do people say that Chai Wenyu couldn't burn incense for his deceased family members? Is it because his family was protecting him?]
[Also, since Chai Wenyu's family could appear in his dreams, why didn't they say a word? Wouldn't it be better to just tell him the whole story in his dreams?]
Bai Ningyu said, "It's not that they don't want to talk, but they simply can't speak."
Chai Wenyu was shocked when he heard this. He quickly looked at Bai Ningyu and asked, "Host, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by unable to speak?"
After all, when he was alive, he was fine, neither deaf nor dumb. How come he couldn't speak after he died?
It is understandable that one person cannot speak, but netizens and Chai Wenyu are a little confused when all three cannot speak.
"If I'm not mistaken, did you put a copper coin in the mouths of these people after they died?"
Hearing Bai Ningyu's question, Chai Wenyu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, we did put copper coins in their mouths.
However, this is because there is a saying that this is a bribe given to the underworld so that the dead can walk more peacefully on the road.
Anchor, is there something wrong with this?"
Bai Ningyu snorted coldly and said, "This is a big problem. The problem lies in the copper coins. They are not just a bribe."
