I was holding my grandmother's hand and was about to leave when I glanced at Yingzi who was standing next to Xiongzi, and turned back to say to Chen's father.

"Uncle Chen, can you ask Auntie to bring Juanzi out for a moment?"

Father Chen was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand what I meant. He responded and shouted into the room.

"Mother, is Juanzi asleep? Bring her out."

"He's not asleep yet. I'll carry him out right away." The person inside responded.

Yingzi's mother carried Juanzi out. She was wiping her eyes and feeling sleepy.

"Auntie, let me hold the child for a while," I said.

Yingzi's mother glanced at Chen's father, and when she saw him nod, she handed Juanzi to me.

The 3-year-old child was sleepy. After I gently took her, she leaned on my shoulder.

I picked her up and walked to the edge of the threshing floor. Everyone was silent, just looking at us.

The threshing ground was silent at this time. The four old men were wiping their tears silently but did not make any sound. They all knew what I was going to do.

When Yingzi saw me coming over with Juanzi in my arms, she was overjoyed. She reached out to touch the child in my arms, but quickly pulled her hand back with red eyes.

"Thank you, Liu Feng!"

She looked at Juanzi lovingly, her face full of kindness and reluctance.

"Sister Yingzi, don't worry, uncle and aunt are taking good care of her."

I told Yingzi about it, and she and Xiongzi nodded at me. Xiongzi stroked her shoulder gently, and floated away silently, looking back every few steps.

I looked at their receding backs, then looked at Juanzi who was already asleep, and sighed softly. If everything could be done over again, who would be willing to be separated from their loved ones?

After saying goodbye to the four sad old people, my grandma and I walked back home.

Half a month later, my grandmother told me that Chen's father came to our house that day and said that Xiaohong and Yingzi's divorce certificate had been obtained.

In order to get the divorce certificate, Chen's father went through a lot of trouble. After many twists and turns, he finally found Xiaohong. However, Xiaohong was a gambler by nature, and without Yingzi's restraint, he was already penniless.

When he heard that he was asked to get a divorce certificate from Yingzi, he was shocked at first, but then he suddenly had an idea and spoke to Chen's father.

"Dad, you see Yingzi is gone. I'm afraid we won't be able to get a divorce certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Yingzi is gone, so don't call me dad anymore."

Father Chen was very disgusted when he heard his words. Yingzi's death was closely related to the man in front of him.

"Well, then I'll go get the divorce certificate. I'm afraid it'll cost me some money to smooth things over, but I don't have any money on hand right now."

After saying this, Xiao Hong secretly glanced at Chen's father. He had heard that Yingzi had given a considerable sum of money to the Chen family before the accident to raise Juanzi, and he started to make plans in his mind.

"How much do you want?"

Father Chen knew what kind of person Xiao Hong was and asked directly.

"It'll cost at least 6,000 or 7,000 yuan."

Seeing that Mr. Chen was so straightforward, Xiaohong opened his mouth and asked for it.

Father Chen said angrily,

"Are you still a human being? Juanzi is your child after all, and you don't want to find a way to raise her.

Yingzi worked hard to leave some child support for the child, and we are just trying to fulfill Yingzi's wish, but you are shameless enough to ask for so much money all at once."

After saying this, Father Chen threw the unfinished cigarette heavily to the ground.

“That can’t be done without money.”

Xiao Hong looked at Chen's father shamelessly.

"Then give me 3000. Give me 3000 and I'll go with you."

"Okay, come back to town with me tomorrow to do it."

The next day, when they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xiaohong refused to go in. Chen's father had to go to a nearby bank to withdraw 3000 yuan and handed it to him.

He took the money and then followed Chen's father inside reluctantly.

Because Yingzi's household registration had not been cancelled, the staff, out of consideration for Chen's father's loss of his beloved daughter, asked for instructions and wrote a report on the situation. After a long time of trouble, they finally issued Xiaohong and Yingzi's divorce certificate.

The moment he received the divorce certificate, Chen's father burst into tears and bowed deeply to the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Xiao Hong also left in shame with the divorce certificate.

After listening to my grandma's story, I secretly complained in my heart. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen someone so shameless. Sister Yingzi must have been blinded by greed and dared to marry such a scumbag.

Grandma asked Chen's father to get Yingzi and Xiongzi's birth dates and death times and calculate a good day.

The date for the burial of the two was set for 8 days later. Chen's father also took his grandmother to the cemetery to take a look and chose a good location.

Eight days later, grandma went to the scene in person to take charge of the matter, and the matter between Yingzi and Xiongzi was finally settled.

That night, the two of them came again and thanked me profusely!

Because the water ghosts need to find someone to take over their shifts before they can reincarnate, the two of them decided not to find anyone to take over their shifts for the time being.

But Xiongzi did not drown. He said that he had begged the ghost to let them wait for a few more years, and the ghost actually agreed because of their steadfast love.

Just like that, the matter between Yingzi and Xiongzi was settled, and I also had my third monthly exam.

Maybe it was because I lost my memories of my past life, or maybe I was bound by these ghost stories, but my grades in this monthly exam still didn’t improve much, and I only ranked 9th in the class.

So I laughed at myself and finally did a little better than the previous two monthly exams.

On this day, the third-year junior high school students had another day off. Wang Erming still helped me carry my schoolbag, and Wang Fang's cousin Hu Shuangyue also quickly caught up with us.

This time, I actually discovered that there was more black air on Hu Shuangyue's head than before, and her eye circles were dark, and she looked very listless.

Then he asked unconsciously: "Cousin Hu, are you feeling unwell?"

Hu Shuangyue looked very blank and answered me lazily:

"Oh, Liu Feng, it's nothing. I just haven't been sleeping well recently. I'm always half asleep and half awake at night, and I feel tired when I wake up in the morning. Maybe it's because there's only one semester left before the high school entrance exam. I'm a little nervous, right?"

"So has anything happened in your family in recent months?" I asked again.

Hu Shuangyue, Wang Fang and Wang Erming all looked at me in surprise.

"No, nothing happened."

Hu Shuangyue looked nervous, with her eyes flickering noticeably.

Wang Fang just opened her mouth to say something to me, but Hu Shuangyue gently pulled the corner of her clothes.

Wang Fang swallowed what she was about to say, and I saw this subtle movement.

"Liu Feng, there's nothing wrong at my cousin's house. I'll ask my sister who's in college if there's any medicine to cure my cousin's insomnia."

Wang Fang told me that her eldest sister studied clinical medicine in college.

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay, cousin Hu. You should take good rest and don't ruin your health."

I said perfunctorily that since the other party didn't want to tell me, there was no need for me to meddle in its affairs.

My grandma told me that those people with black gas coming out of their heads have either attracted some unclean things, or have had bad luck recently, that is, they are haunted by ghosts or are just unlucky.

Seeing that I had a talent for this, my grandmother gradually taught me some basic knowledge of making false impressions passed down by the head of the Xu family.

I didn’t really want to learn it, but my grandma only told me once and I remembered it right away.

So, after parting with Wang Fang and Hu Shuangyue, Wang Erming and I returned home again.
