Xie Qiao directly told him about the origin of this ghoul, and the old man immediately recalled some past events.
He did not like little girls.
Back then, his son was taken out by a little girl from a neighbor’s house, and that was why he died from the cold. Therefore, at that time, when he saw that there were many girls in that house, and one of them was dressed in sensible and lovely clothes, he was extremely disgusted. Then, he casually said
that the young girl was bad luck to her family.
Later on, when he found out that the young girl had been sold to a brothel, he felt very happy.
However, when he heard that his bad luck was actually caused by this young girl
The old man felt a bit more disgusted in his heart.
That short-lived debt collector. She was already dead, yet she was still pestering him!
“Taoist master, can you take this evil spirit away? It’s simply detestable for such an evil spirit to linger in the mortal world. If Master helps, I will definitely be grateful,” the old man quickly added.
‘When Xie Qiao heard that, a chuckle was heard. “You wish.”
The fraud was stunned.
“Te already told you the solution. It’s up to you whether you want to do it or not.” Xie Qiao, however, did not seem to care too much.
The more Xie Qiao ignored him, the more that old fraud felt his heart itch, and he was filled with apprehension and fear.
Xie Qiao did not keep him any longer. After she had said enough, she asked him to leave.
She did not ask for a single cent.
Walking out of the mansion, the fraud still felt that it was unreal.
However, he listened to the master’s words.
Comparing silver and life, the latter was naturally more important. The master said that his main source of bad luck was that short-lived girl. As long as he could appease that girl’s family, he would definitely be able to survive this calamity. Even if he could not, he would not be so miserable when he was
older!
Xie Qiao released the ghoul and asked her to go home with that old fraud.
“Senior Sister, why don’t you take the opportunity to blackmail him… And ask him to pay some silver? We even gave him some money before,” Jiang Jinlu asked immediately after he left.
“It’s not good to cheat and swindle, right?” Xie Qiao looked at him with hidden meaning.
Jiang Jinlu’s face was burning.
His senior sister was worried about her reputation, so it was not easy to collect money?
However
This fraud was not anything good. It was only right to collect some money. Even if she did not make money, she could not make a loss, right?
Xie Qiao did not explain much to Jiang Jinlu.
The next day, the old fraud went to the village outside Mengjiabao and found the little girl’s family.
It had been a long time since this incident, but to the little girl’s mother, every day was a torment. The moment the old man appeared, the woman’s eyes turned red, and she could not describe her emotions.
Back then, Master Ma had clearly said that if she sold the child, her man would be saved.
Master Ma mustered his courage and walked in front of the woman. He took out 30 taels of silver. “This penniless master has heard about your family’s tragic situation. After thinking about it, I feel that it is better to return this silver to you. Back then, I took 20 taels of silver from your family. Now, I will
give you another ten taels of silver to live on.”
‘When the woman heard that, she was a little dumbfounded.
Silver? Why?
“W-Why did you lie to us back then? My man couldn’t be saved…” the woman was trembling a little.
“Who said that this old man lied to you? It was your family’s ancestors who didn’t give enough blessings, so even if you sold the child, that person couldn’t be saved. This old man also tried his best at that time. Moreover, I also lost a lot of good karma because of your family’s matter. After your child was
sold, she died outside. Her resentment still haunts me. This old man really made a mistake in helping you!” Master Ma sighed.
He had completely forgotten how he had begged for help yesterday.
He was so used to putting on an act that he could not change it.
When the ghoul next to him heard these words, her eyes turned red..
