Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Invite Grandma To Come Too
In the living room, Tong Xiangqiao was kneeling in front of Tong Sikui, crying her heart out. This time, there was no pretense. Tears were pouring down her face, revealing her grievances and Tong Yaohui’s ruthlessness. Tong Sikui’s deadpan eyes rolled towards Tong Yaohui. He lifted his stiff arm and beckoned to Tong Yaohui.
"Second son, you come here."
Tong Yaohui stood still with a dark face and didn’t move, which seemed to aggravate Tong Sikui, who began to cough violently. Interestingly enough, it looked a lot like Tong’s old man before he died.
"Second brother, our father is calling you, you’d better come over and kneel down to him! He must have something to say to you." Tong Xiangqiao urged Tong Yaohui to kneel down like her. She had a hunch that her father was certainly going to scold her second brother.
The father gave the "money for the dead" to the second brother, certainly trying to convey some message, such as he did not plan to give the money to the second brother, and if so, she could get at least 60,000 yuan more.
Lin Shuxin and Lin Man on the side dared not say a word, they thought the idea of a ghost possessing someone was absurd, but Tong Sikui’s every move now did indeed look like Grandpa. The two didn’t dare say more and stood aside to watch why "Grandpa" was beckoning their second uncle.
Tong Yaohui stood there with a dark face for a while, then squatted down in front of Tong Sikui, grimacing, "If you really are my father, just say whatever you have to say. If you need money in the Netherworld, I can burn some paper money and send it down to you tomorrow."
Tong Sikui gasped for air, and then pointed at Tong Yao, panting, "You, you come over as well."
Tong Yao wanted to see what kind of tricks Tong Sikui was going to play, but she didn’t want to humiliate herself. She moved two small stools from the side, gave one to Tong Yaohui, and sat on one herself. Tong Xiangqiao, seeing this, raged, "Who told you to sit? Kneel down and kowtow to your grandfather."
Tong Yao rolled her eyes, "Auntie, if you want to kneel, you go ahead, the floor is too cold, I’m afraid it’ll freeze my knees. Grandpa is probably so lonely down there, he wants to bring a filial child down to accompany him. In my opinion, out of Grandpa’s three children, you’re the most filial."
Tong Xiangqiao’s face turned pale with fright, she scolded, "You, don’t talk nonsense, there’s no such thing as a father harming his children! Your grandfather came back because he misses me!"
"Isn’t it?" Tong Yao saw Tong Xiangqiao was scared and tried to hide her smile, "Grandpa is worried about your hardships in the world, maybe he wants to take you by his side. Now he’s just asking my father’s opinion."
"If you dare to say such ridiculous things again, I’ll tear your mouth apart," said Tong Xiangqiao, who was so scared she could hardly kneel, and since she had been superstitious since she was a child and absolutely believed in the story of Tong’s grandfather’s spirit possessing Tong Sikui, she was afraid that her father would really take her away to take care of her, so she dared not complain about her grievances anymore.
Tong Sikui was in a hurry to see Tong Yao and Tong Xiangqiao getting further and further off-topic. His eyes were sour from rolling and he was about to give up, so he roared in fury, "Will you all shut up, cough cough..."
Tong Xiangqiao was startled and her legs gave out, so she hurriedly said, "Dad, don’t be angry."
Tong Sikui, imitating the tone of Tong’s old man before his death, pointed at Tong Yao and Tong Yaohui and scolded, "You unfilial descendants, none of you have respect for me."
It goes without saying who these "unfilial descendants" referred to.
Indeed, the next second, he pointed at Tong Yaohui and said, "I only just died, and you’re already clamoring to sell the old house. You even got your older brother sent to the police station over the money. Do you want me to have no peace even in death? I truly regret writing that will, I shouldn’t have left you anything. Those twenty thousand yuan, that’s a warning from me."
Hearing this, Tong Xiangqiao, who had just been trembling with fear, immediately revived, "Dad, you are indeed disgruntled by my second brother’s actions, aren’t you? You came back to bring justice to us siblings, didn’t you?"
Tong Sikui gasped for breath and then huffed, "Since the money has already been divided, let it be. Second son, take the one hundred thousand yuan and go. From now on, I’ll pretend I never had a son like you. The additional twenty thousand yuan is a lesson for you."
Tong Yao: ...
I knew Tong Sikui was up to no good with this whole act. Turns out all this was just to gloss over the money for the dead issue.
Tong Yaohui, with a stern face, looked at Tong Sikui’s performance. He didn’t believe in the supernatural at all and was not fooled. He snorted, "Once the person is dead, they should rest in peace. The Netherworld shouldn’t interfere with the world of the living. If you need money, I can burn you some paper money, whatever you need, I can burn it for you. As for everything else, don’t worry about it. Even if you do, I won’t listen."
Not to mention that it wasn’t his real father who came back, even if it was his real father who came back, he wouldn’t accept this kind of bias.
"You, you unfilial son...cough, cough..."
Tong Sikui seemed to be angered and began to cough violently again, his expression and movements were exactly the same as those of Tong’s old man when he was alive and angered.
Tong Xiangqiao quickly massaged his chest for him in a clockwise motion, meanwhile scolding Tong Yaohui, "Second brother, are you also going to ignore our father’s words?" With her father’s support, Tong Xiangqiao was speaking confidently.
Tong Yao, having watched the drama, snickered and chimed in sarcastically, "Listen to what? Do you believe I can summon grandmother and let her decide to give all the money from selling this house to my family?"
In her previous life, she had watched hundreds of TV dramas of various genres. The plot of being possessed by a ghost had long bored her. She guaranteed that her performance would be even more convincing than Tong Sikui’s.
When it comes to acting, she was nothing short of a powerhouse.
"What are you babbling about? This is your grandfather, don’t you have any manners?" With the backing of her father, Tong Xiangqiao started to teach Tong Yao manners again, and even complained to her father, "Dad, look at her, she has been spoiled by her second brother, she has no respect for elders, unlike my son Shuxin and Manman. Dad, you have to bless Shuxin to get rich and bless Manman to marry a good family."
Tong Yao, "Yes, yes, they are kind and filial, they were so frightened when they saw Grandpa coming back that they retreated several meters away."
Lin Shuxin: "..."
Lin Man: "..."
Tong Xiangqiao felt a little guilty when she heard this. She wanted to continue arguing with Tong Yao, but she didn’t give her a chance.
Tong Yao winked at Tong Yaohui teasingly, "Dad, I see Grandpa has been possessing my cousin for so long, and he doesn’t seem to want to leave. Let’s hope he doesn’t want to take over my cousin’s body."
At these words, Tong Xiangqiao immediately turned pale. If her father really didn’t leave, wouldn’t she have to serve him every day? The thought of a person who had died shaking in front of her every day, maybe even angry, ready to take her away at any time, it’s said that interacting with the deceased will bring bad luck. If she stayed with him all the time, her Yang energy would be sucked away. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Tong Xiangqiao didn’t even pretend to be filial anymore and hurriedly cried out.
"Dad! Sikui is your own grandson, you can’t harm him. Whatever you want to say, we’ll do it. Once you’ve said it, you should go!"
Tong Yaohui didn’t know how to end it, but when he heard this, he was ready to say a few more things to teach Tong Yaohui, but before he could open his mouth, Tong Yao said, "I heard that drinking fecal water can ward off evil spirits. You restrain him, and I’ll go find some dung water right now and pour a ladleful into my cousin’s stomach. It’ll not only get rid of Grandpa, but also get rid of the bad luck."
