Throughout the rest of the shopping process, Jing Yucheng took the lead, handling everything from selecting ingredients to carrying bags, leaving Ling Yue with no worries.

With everything ready, the four of them took a taxi to Grandpa Cheng's house.

I thought they had arrived early enough, but when I walked in, I found a whole room full of people, including not only the five sons, but also the daughters-in-law.

Moreover, almost all the dishes on the table had been served.

The elegantly dressed wife I met at my husband's house that day is now washing her hands and preparing food in the kitchen.

"You guys rest in the living room for a while. There's a soup coming up, it'll be ready soon!"

Ling Yue was genuinely surprised to see this scene.

It seems that the malevolent aura greatly affects a person's emotions.

This also gave her a new understanding of malevolent energy.

Grandpa Cheng seemed unusually happy. At the dinner table, he brought up the fact that he had dreamed about his wife the night before!

"She told me that she had found a bar owner to help arrange my future life."

"This dream felt so real! I thought of you all right then and there!"

"Come on, it's a rare occasion for us to get together today, let me toast you all!"

Old Cheng had just picked up his wine glass to pour some wine when his fifth son stopped him.

"What are you doing, old man? With your fragile stomach, you think you can drink? No way!"

"Use tea, replace bar with tea."

As he spoke, the fifth brother handed him the teacup, and snatched the wine glass back.

At this moment, the eldest brother hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you for coming. You really saved our whole family. We were really bewitched at the time, only thinking about getting promoted and making money. We were deceived by that old Taoist priest!"

"That's all. We brothers toast you to thank you for saving our lives! We especially want to thank the master!"

As he spoke, he even bowed deeply to Chu Ping.

Seeing that Chu Ping ignored him, Su Shiming stood up and tried to smooth things over.

"Come on, let's not be shy anymore. After this drink, we're all friends!"

Ling Yue felt Su Shiming's elbow strike and immediately stood up, cheerfully saying, "Grandpa Cheng, I'm sure Grandma Cheng will be pleased to see you like this!"

It seems that whenever Grandpa Cheng's grandmother is mentioned, his mood drops to an all-time low.

Ling Yue sensed something and suddenly realized that today was the third day since Grandma Cheng passed away, which meant that tonight was the night her spirit returned!

An idea came to me instantly.

"Tonight is Grandma Cheng's final night. Since everyone is here, if anyone wants to see her one last time, they can stay after dinner. Otherwise, everyone can go home after dinner."

Apart from the eldest son and his wife, who remained relatively calm, everyone else was more or less visibly shaken.

Even more timid women tugged at their husbands' sleeves, saying, "This...this...isn't this a bit scary...maybe we should leave first..."

She is the fifth son's wife.

Upon hearing this, the fifth brother immediately pulled her away, saying, "Are you alright? That's my mother, and your mother too. What are you afraid of? She's not going to eat you."

"Can you pass or not? If you can't, get out!"

The fifth son's wife didn't dare to utter another word.

Everyone ate their meal quietly, without saying anything more, until dinner was over, when everyone rushed to tidy up the room.

Ling Yue found it a bit funny; everyone was pretending to be calm, since seeing a ghost was never a good thing.

"Don't worry, you can choose not to see her. If anyone wants to see her, you can tell us. She looks much the same as she did when she was alive. After all, she passed away peacefully."

The five daughters-in-law visibly breathed a sigh of relief; they didn't care whether the spirit returned or not, since they couldn't see it.

This is only natural. Even though she has been married into the family for many years and hasn't lived with her mother-in-law much, Grandma Cheng is at most a relative to them...

They weren't exactly close relatives.

It cannot be forced.

To liven things up, Su Shiming suggested, "There are still two hours until midnight, how about we play mahjong?"

"Relax, everyone should be happy, after all, this really is the last chance to see her!"

The fifth brother got along quite well with Su Shiming, so he went and took out the two sets of mahjong tiles from the house without any trouble.

They set up two tables directly in the living room.

Ling Yue found this method to be quite effective, and the tense atmosphere quickly disappeared.

Only Grandma Cheng was patiently waiting for Grandma Cheng to return.

He went back to his room to change into a new set of clothes. He said that these were the last clothes Grandma Cheng had bought for him before she passed away, and he hadn't even had a chance to wear them to show her...

He timed it almost exactly midnight, but when he looked around the room, nothing had changed.

He looked at Ling Yue with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, they're not back yet."

Ling Yue plans to use her Eye-Opening ability to help Grandpa Cheng open his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yucheng grabbed her hand and said, "I'll drive."

Then, he raised his palm and waved it in the air towards Grandpa Cheng's brow, and instantly a tiny ray of light entered Grandpa Cheng's brow!

"That's it?!"

Ling Yue could hardly believe her eyes; Jing Yucheng was truly changing her perception of him little by little.

Jing Yucheng smiled and nodded.

"What about the rest?"

Seeing that it was almost time, Ling Yue called out to Su Shiming, "Red Hair, ask everyone who needs to have their eyes opened?"

Su Shiming understood, so he asked the people at the card table, "It's about time, let's end this!"

"Anyone who wants to see their mother, come with me."

Ling Yue thought that her five sons would hesitate, but to her surprise, they all got up quickly and came to Jing Yucheng's side.

It's good that all those who have had their eyes opened are men; I believe Grandma Cheng will be very happy to know this.

Before long, Grandma Cheng's spirit appeared in the room.

Grandpa Cheng was the first to see her and excitedly ran over to try and grab her hand, but found he couldn't hold it at all...

Seeing this, Ling Yue felt extremely guilty. If only she had waited for Chu Xin to bring him along, he could have used his talisman to help Grandma Cheng's soul make physical contact with people...

Jing Yucheng was like a mind reader to Ling Yue, quickly understanding her emotions.

"Don't worry, baby. Even if my initial intention is gone, I can still do it."

What other amazing skills does Jing Yucheng possess that she doesn't know about?!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jing Yucheng used the same method on Grandma Cheng's soul.

However, the light turned purple and spread around Grandma Cheng's soul, enveloping the ghost like a protective shield.

"Grandpa Cheng, that's all!"

When Grandpa Cheng grabbed "Grandma Cheng's" hand, he was so moved that he burst into tears...

This scene moved everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, their five sons rushed forward!

"mom!"

"What an unfilial son!"

Grandma Cheng never expected to see her sons return and live peacefully with their father.

I don't know when it started, but they no longer want to go home. I don't even know when was the last time I cooked for them...

Even when they felt their partner had suddenly become indifferent, the couple would always look for the problem within themselves first.

When I was the eldest, I went through a lot of hardship with them. I got pregnant out of wedlock, which was something that was considered shameful in those days.

So neither of his grandparents had ever taken care of him; she had to work while raising him, and he endured a lot of hardship alongside the adults...

“Eldest son, you’ve suffered so much with your parents… You were never well-fed or clothed as a child, it’s all because your mother didn’t take good care of you…”

The eldest brother burst into tears upon hearing this, recalling his childhood. Although life was tough, he was happy to be with his parents and do anything!

From when did his pursuit cease to be the warmth of family, and instead become the pursuit of fame and fortune, his mind filled with thoughts of how to get promoted again...?

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, you've almost never worn new clothes; they're all hand-me-downs from your older brothers..."

"Have you always resented your parents for not providing you with the same good life as your peers...?"

"So, now that you've grown up and have your own families, your dad and I know that you're working hard for your jobs and your little families."

"We dare not ask you to do anything for us. As long as you are doing well, that's better than anything else."

"My dear, I'm so sorry! I couldn't be there for you until the very end..."

Being with you in this lifetime is the greatest happiness for me.

"I'm most worried about you. I'm worried about leaving you without anyone to take care of you. Let's not trouble our sons and find a good nursing home!"

“I’ve heard that nursing homes are becoming quite well-established, and your illness will be checked regularly, which will put my mind at ease.”

Grandma Cheng kept talking about what she hadn't had a chance to tell her family.

She was afraid that when the time was up, she wouldn't be able to speak anymore...
