My backyard leads to the underworld. I became famous by selling goods.
Chapter 10: One mouthful after another, I can't stop
Meng Qia didn't have time to answer. He anxiously grabbed the bag filled with all kinds of weird snacks and started eating them.
Soon, all kinds of strange foods such as chicken butts, roasted lizards, fried crickets, etc. went into Meng Qi's mouth.
Song Mian and Lin Jiaojiao beside him felt nauseous when they saw this!
But Meng Qia didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, it was like opening the door to a new world. He couldn't stop eating one bite after another.
"It's delicious, so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious before!" Meng Qi said, constantly giving Song Mian a thumbs up.
"Well...thank you for the compliment." Song Mian was speechless and could only thank Meng Qi first.
Although making customers satisfied is a good thing, why does she feel so awkward?
Meng Qie devoured the entire bag of snacks without hesitation and said to Song Mian, "Young Boss, tonight I'll go back and tell my descendants in their dreams to come to the store tomorrow and give you 10,000 yuan as a reward. Also, can you give me some more of these delicious snacks? I want more!"
Song Mian immediately heard the system prompt sound coming from his mind.
[Ding-Congratulations to the host for completing the transaction. ]
The transaction details are as follows. Item: One bag of quirky snacks.
[Transaction Object: Meng Qia]
[Transaction amount: 10,000 yuan in cash]
[Transaction status: Completed.]
"Okay... but you may have to wait two days, and it will take time for me to purchase the goods." These weird snacks cannot be bought through normal channels. She must buy them online and then wait for the courier to arrive before she can give the things to Meng Qia!
Meng Qia was very disappointed, but he had no choice but to agree: "Okay then. Sister Lin, this time, thanks to you, I can eat such delicious food. To thank you, I will give you a bottle of my grandmother's soup for free. Come with me to the ghost world to get it."
"Oh... okay, okay." Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly!
She was confused and followed Meng Qie obediently.
Song Mian didn't expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly. He waited in the store for another half an hour and finally waited for Lin Jiaojiao to come back.
"Jiaojiao!" Song Mian's sleepiness was swept away, and he quickly came to Lin Jiaojiao's side, "Jiaojiao, do you remember?"
Lin Jiaojiao's expression was a little numb, and she nodded.
"Young boss, I just realized that I didn't actually commit suicide back then. It was the Lin family who deceived me and forced me to death." Lin Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, with sadness and helplessness in her eyes.
Song Mian: "Jiaojiao, what's going on?"
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes were red as she slowly began to tell the story.
"I am indeed the ancestor of George Lam and his family. At that time, our Lin family was considered a merchant family and was quite wealthy. I have been in poor health since I was a child, so I have been raised here and rarely go home."
"Everyone in the Lin family thought I was in poor health and an unlucky woman, so they never came to see me. I grew up alone until I was ten years old, and then I met my fiancé who came to visit me."
Mentioning her fiancé, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes lit up with a smile: "His name is Qi Bing. He never despises my frailty and often comes to accompany me."
"At first, I was very resistant to the marriage my family arranged for me, but Qi Bing moved me with his actions. After a few years, when I reached marriageable age, I began to look forward to marrying him. We were supposed to be happily together."
Song Mian did not disturb Lin Jiaojiao, but he already had some guesses in his mind.
If Jiaojiao and Qi Bing really had a happy ending, she wouldn't be so sad, and she wouldn't be forced to death by the Lin family.
"Less than a month before I was to marry Qi Bing, my father suddenly passed away. In order to get more betrothal gifts, my eldest brother insisted on marrying me to a wealthy man who was twenty years older than me, and making me his eighth concubine..."
"Twenty years older than you? Is that to find you a husband or a new father?" Song Mian was shocked.
What's more, she knew that in ancient times, the status of the wife and the concubine was very different. To put it bluntly, the concubine was just a slave with a slightly higher status!
"Of course I didn't want to either. After a long time and when I was almost in despair, Qi Bing came to find me." After mentioning Qi Bing, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes finally lit up again.
"Qi Bing didn't want to give up on me and asked to elope with me, so I agreed. After we successfully escaped, we lived together in a small, isolated village. Although life was hard at that time, I was really happy."
"Unfortunately, just when I was about to give birth to Qi Bing's child, Qi Bing was caught by the Lin family while selling animal skins. They beat her to death!"
Although Song Mian was mentally prepared, she still felt heartbroken when she heard this and hugged Lin Jiaojiao.
"On the day I was about to give birth, the Lin family came to my house and told me the news that Qi Bing had died. It was such a huge shock that I had a hemorrhage and fainted. I finally managed to save my life, but all I saw was a dead baby..."
Lin Jiaojiao cried and said, "The Lin family told me that it was my child, mine and Qi Bing's child. They killed my husband and my own flesh and blood, yet they wanted to take me back and wait until I recovered before marrying him!"
"How can they be so shameless?" Song Mian was shocked by the shamelessness of these people!
"I couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged myself at the Lin family's house. When I was half conscious, I heard the Lin family say that my child wasn't dead at all. They couldn't bear to kill the child because they wanted to use my child with my husband to threaten the Qi family for money!"
The more Song Mian listened, the more heartbroken she became. She couldn't even imagine how desperate Lin Jiaojiao must have been at that time to choose to end her own life.
She could have lived a good life with her husband and children!
"How could the Lin family do such a heartless thing? If you knew the child was still alive, you would never have chosen to end your life!"
Seeing that Song Mian understood her, Lin Jiaojiao burst into tears. "If I knew the child was alive, I would be willing to be a concubine in the family of a wealthy man. My poor son, I haven't even met him once..."
"Young Boss, I just realized that the paper money I received recently was all burned for me by my son and his descendants! This was his last wish. He and the Qi family are the ones who truly care about me. They are my real family!"
Song Mian finally understood the whole story and quickly asked, "Do you know where the Qi family lives now? As long as the Qi family is willing to offer you sacrifices, you won't have to suffer in the underworld!"
