Maybe I shouldn't die.

Chapter 91 Feng Sisi's Home

The next day, Fang Yue, led by the village chief, came to Feng Sisi's home. To her surprise, Feng Sisi's home was also a blue brick and tile house.

Although it is not as big and grand as the village chief’s house, it is still considered very good in the village. After all, most of the houses in the village are still made of mud and bricks.

But when she thought about where her family's money came from, Fang Yue felt a sense of disgust in her heart, but what followed was more helplessness. She knew that in this era, there were too many families like this.

There are too many people who have suffered hardship and injustice themselves and continue to inflict these hardship and injustice on their children. This is a vicious cycle and a tragedy created by the times.

The birth of the human demon is an example. Too much resentment and unwillingness created the human demon. The appearance of the son of destiny and the future development of this small world that Fang Yue saw are another kind of balance given to the world by the way of heaven.

Perhaps many years later, this balance will be broken by some opportunity, causing the next catastrophe. At that time, there will be a new son of destiny who will continue to restore the world to balance under the guidance of the way of heaven.

At this moment, Fang Yue seemed to have glimpsed something. With the help of the legacy of the long river of fate in his body, he saw a virtual golden river above the sky. Countless silk threads hung down from the river, connecting to the bodies of mortals.

These silk threads dominated their fate, some of them glowed with golden light, some were dyed black, and most were just transparent threads. She also saw that there were no silk threads behind her.

She thought that this might be the long river of destiny that she had come into contact with before, and these threads connected the fate of mortals, so what about them, the practitioners?

Have they escaped the control of fate, or is there a broader river of fate above the distant sky that controls the fate of these practitioners?

This glimpse lasted only a moment, and Fang Yue felt a sharp pain in her eyes. Then everything went black, and she could no longer see anything. Liquid flowed from the corners of her eyes.

She extended her spiritual sense and saw that only a moment had passed in the outside world. The village chief was walking to the door of Feng Sisi's house, ready to knock. She was standing in the same place, with red liquid flowing from the corners of her eyes. It turned out to be blood, but of course it was covered by the transformation talisman, so mortals could not see it.

With a creak, the door was opened, and a skinny, malnourished-looking little girl walked out. There were unhealed scars on her arms. When she saw the village chief outside the door, a smile appeared on the little girl's face.

"Uncle village chief, are you here to look for my parents?"

A kind smile also appeared on the village chief's face. He touched the little girl's head, took out a small piece of candy from his arms and stuffed it into the girl's mouth. Then he put his fingers to his mouth and made a silent hushing gesture.

Feeling the sweetness in her mouth, the girl's eyes lit up instantly, making her face, which had become dull and yellow due to malnutrition, brighter. After seeing the village chief's actions, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands and nodded silently.

At this time, a woman's sharp curse was heard from the yard.

"Who is it? You silly girl, I asked you to open the door but you haven't come back for so long. Are you trying to be lazy? You don't want to eat lunch, right?"

When the girl heard the shouting and cursing in the yard, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but it soon turned into panic. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at the village chief. With the village chief grandfather around, her mother probably couldn't take care of herself.

Sure enough, after seeing that the village chief was among the people the girl brought in, the anger on the woman's face immediately disappeared and turned into an attentive smile.

"It's the village chief. I wonder what he wants to do? Datian has already gone out to work in the fields. I'll ask my fourth sister to call him back."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and patted Fourth Sister's back hard, causing her to stagger. He said:

"You are such a blind man, why don't you go to the fields and find your father?"

There was a flash of pain in the fourth sister's eyes. It was obvious that the woman had hit her hard, but she didn't dare to refute. Otherwise, after the village chief left, she would be beaten even worse. So she nodded and ran out of the yard without looking back.

After the fourth sister left, the woman complained to the village chief with a smile on her face:

"This damn girl has no manners at all. She just slacks off every day. If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll be damned."

The village chief just smiled and didn't say anything. He knew the truth very well, but after all, they were in the other person's home and there were outsiders present, so he still had to give the other person some face.

Seeing that the village chief didn't respond, a look of shame and anger flashed across the woman's eyes, but then she became calm again. She led the village chief and Fang Yue into the house and sat them down, then went to get some snacks and tea.

"Please sit down and eat something first. Datian will be here soon."

The village chief did not refute. In his opinion, men are the heads of the family and must be present when things are being discussed.

Then she looked at Fang Yue again. This middle-aged woman looked familiar. She thought about it carefully. Was she the miracle doctor who was seeing patients at the entrance of the village yesterday and was said to be able to cure diseases?

Their family didn't go to see a doctor yesterday. Did the village chief bring this doctor here to treat his family? His family is very healthy and they don't want to be deceived by this itinerant doctor and get unjust money.

In her opinion, Fang Yue is just a liar who knows a little bit of medical skills. She doesn't know why so many people believe her. She can cure any disease. What unique method does she use? In her opinion, it is not reliable at all.

At this time, there was another knock on the door. The woman glanced at the village chief and Fang Yue. Seeing that neither of them spoke, she was too lazy to say anything and hurried to open the door.

After the door opened, a clear laugh came in.

"Mrs. Feng, you are going to enjoy a good life. The Zhang family has agreed to pay a betrothal gift of 35 taels of silver, and no dowry is required."

Then came the woman's proud words:

"That's sincerity. Our daughter is really good at work."

The matchmaker rolled her eyes in her heart. Isn't she a good worker? She has been helping with housework since she could walk. She didn't know how envious she was of such a good girl.

Even so, the woman from the Feng family still wanted to marry her daughter to an old cripple for money. The cripple was already in his 30s and old enough to be her daughter's father, and he was not afraid of retribution.

But this was someone else's daughter, so she had no say in that. If the Zhang family hadn't given her enough silver, she wouldn't have come to propose marriage. It was a full 100 taels of silver! It was as much as she would have paid to be a matchmaker for several families.

Even though she was complaining in her heart, the smile on her face became more genuine, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were almost formed into a flower. Damn her matchmaker qualities.

"That's right. When my third sister marries him, she will be in a blessed place, with endless blessings."
