Chapter Thirty-Eighth: Is That All It Takes to Dry-Fry?

ent.Gradually, ghosts gathered toward the underworld gate. Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zishus were among the throng of specters.At ten fifty-five in the evening, there were many ghosts waiting at the gate...Only after knowing she wouldn't get any contagious diseases for the rest of her life did Xiao Lin feel at ease and take her luggage to follow Yang Fan.

On her way back, she experienced another burst of speed and passion.

Back at Yang Fan's home, Xiao Lin held the chocolate and asked her, "Master, how do I burn this for my brother"

Yang Fan replied, “Just find an empty space to burn it. When you’re burning it, keep repeating his name and birthdate in your mind, along with your family's home address.”

"Okay," Xiaolin was still a little confused, "Master, why do you need to recite my home address"

Could it be that he's showing her brother the way home

And...

"Master, is that just going to be dry-fried"

When she watched people burning things for the deceased, wasn't it always done together with paper offerings

She just burned it anywhere without a care, wasn't that too careless

"Then how do you want to cook it" Yang Fan asked her.

Xiao Lin tentatively asked, "Could you draw me a talisman"

Just like that, a golden decree with a casual wave of the hand, so cool!

Yang Fan looked at her with a smirk, "My charms are expensive, one costs 100,000. Want one"

If you want, I can summon your brother right now. Along with my fee, it'll be 500,000. Do you want to do it now

That's fifty thousand bucks right there, good deal.

Xiao Lin chuckled, "I... just burn like this. Don't bother. I'll just wait until tonight to see my brother."

Oh, oh, oh… She’s just a senior who hasn't found an internship yet, she doesn't have that much money.

She turned to find an open space on the street to make chocolate for her brother, when Yang Fan's faint voice came from behind.

"Because your brother's grave is not here, there are many ghosts in the underworld with the same name and surname. If you don't tell me your brother's detailed information, what you burn might very likely be sent to other ghosts."

After she finished speaking, she went back into the house.

Xiao Lin stopped her steps and turned around, only to see Yang Fan already walking into the house. A warm feeling filled her heart. The master was truly a good person.

She walked to the empty street, burned the box of chocolates as Yang Fan had instructed, her heart reciting her brother's name repeatedly. Tears welled up in her eyes, falling like pearls with broken strings.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Xu stood in the yard, watching the little girl squatting by the roadside crying. The two elders' expressions were full of pity.

Grandma Xu let out a long sigh, “How could such a good person be gone”

From that photo alone, she could tell that the child was a good one, and so young.

To run so far to find his brother, only to receive news of his death, this is something no one could bear.

Even though they had lived for so long and seen many births and deaths, when they witnessed this scene, they still felt heartache.

Grandma Xu told Grandpa Li, "When that child comes for dinner tonight, you should keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense."

"I know, wife," Li YeYe said helplessly. He wasn't clueless about what to say and when not to say it.

"By the way, why don't you go to the street and buy some chicken legs I'll fry a few for Yang Fan and the others tonight," Grandma Xu said. "Young people like these things nowadays."

If you eat delicious food, you should feel happier.

Li YeYe nodded. "Okay, I'll go now."

On the other side, Wu Zhenghao's home

They had not been back from Yang Fan's house for long when Wu Chenxi and his wife arrived.

"Mom, look, I'm already two months pregnant!"

Wu Chenxi showed her prenatal checkup results to Grandma Wu, her face beaming with the joy and happiness of being a new mother.

She is a mama's girl. She shares everything happy with her mother first. When she confirmed she was pregnant, she asked her boyfriend to take her home immediately to share the good news with her family.

"Take it slow," Zhao Xu said carefully, supporting her with both hands. His face was full of worry, afraid that any sudden movement might hurt her.

He was so nervous around her, Wu Chenxi felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and sweetness in her heart.

As the youngest daughter, she was the most cherished one in the family since childhood. She grew up pampered and loved, and eventually got into her dream university and landed a job she enjoyed.

Now she has met another man who dotes on her, and they are about to welcome a happy family of three with their own child.

And her boyfriend's parents also really like her, so there are no mother-in-law problems.

Wu Chenxi felt like the happiest person in the world, immersed in the joy of happiness, she did not notice the unnatural expressions on her family's faces.

And naturally, she didn't notice the forbearance hidden in Zhao Xu's eyes as he looked at her.

Soon, when the child is born, he won't have to pretend around this woman anymore. He'll be able to be with the person he loves.

Wu Chenxi didn't get the excited feedback from the Wu family, she suddenly pouted her small mouth and said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, aren't you happy"

Grandma Wu looked at her beloved youngest daughter and then at the hypocritical Zhao Xu beside her. She wished she could rush up and tear him apart, drink his blood!

How could this person be so bad, to deceive their whole family like that!

It's not time to expose him yet; they need to find evidence first before tearing off his ugly mask.

Wu Zhenghao and Grandpa Wu were also trying hard to suppress their urge to question Zhao Xu, sitting quietly on the side.

Grandma Wu calmed her emotions and patted Wu Chenxi's hand with eyes full of love.

Of course, I'm happy to be a grandmother, but Mom feels sorry for you.

"Pregnancy is like walking through the gate of hell, you've always been a little delicate, crying even over a small cut. Giving birth is such a painful thing, I'm worried about you."

Her words immediately made Wu Chenxi unable to hold back her tears, they welled up and flowed down. She tightly hugged Grandma Wu, "Mom, you're still the best to me!"

Grandma Wu hugged her thin shoulders, her eyes wet. Her daughter would be so heartbroken if she knew the truth.

"Oh, right, where's Yuanyuan" Wu Chenxi only realized that someone was missing from home after she calmed down. Her niece wasn't there.

Grandma Wu: "Yuanyuan went to her grandmother's house, and she will be back tonight."

Wu Yuanyuan's grandmother also lives in town. To prevent her child from getting into trouble, they sent the child to her grandmother's house in advance.

To avoid Zhao Xu's suspicion, Wu Zhenghao took out the fruit they bought from Yang Fan and started eating it, changing the subject.

"Brother, where did you buy these fruits They are so delicious!" Wu Chenxi ate a strawberry and was instantly conquered by how delicious it was. It was too good!

It's big and sweet, the best strawberry she has ever tasted.

Wu Zhenghao answered, "This is what we picked from the farmer's orchard today. The others are also delicious. You should try them all."

"Where are these fruit farmers from Take me to them! These fruits are so delicious, I want to bring some back for Zhao Xu's parents."

Zhao Xu looked at Wu Zhenghao, he also wanted to know what kind of fruit this was, but he wasn't thinking about buying this delicious fruit for his own parents to eat, but rather wanting to buy it for the person he liked.

"You guys eat first, I'll take you there after you finish." Wu Zhenghao said perfunctorily, his attention was always on Zhao Xu.!Yang Fan sat in her gaming chair, scrolling through short videos. The only sound in the quiet warehouse was the noise from her phone.Time was passing by minute after minute, but still no ghosts appea...
