Chapter 293 You Should Take Care of Your Brother
Lilly looked at Josh surprised.
Why does Josh want to go out at night?
"There are a lot of taboos during the Ghost Festival!" Lilly counted with his fingers, "It''s best not to go
out at night, but if you do go out, you can''t call out other people''s names, so that the ghost wouldn''t
remember their names,"
"Secondly, you can''t wear clothes with your name on them,"
"Thirdly, you shouldn''t pat others on the shoulder. If someone pats you on the shoulder, don''t turn
around. If you hear someone calling you from behind, don''t answer them,"
Hannah interrupted, "I won''t turn around, I''ll act like a zombie and turn around menacingly. Do you think
the ghost will be scared to death?"
Lilly gave a thumbs up, "You''re awesome, Hannah!"
Josh sneered, "You''ll be scared to death by ghosts,"
After a pause, he thought that Hannah and her brother had good reflexes,
Forget it, even if they saw the ghost, they would probably stare at it.
The ghost would roll its eyes and be too speechless to deal with them.
"What''s next?" Josh asked.
Lilly continued, "Don''t wear red underwear and sit where you shouldn''t be."
Josh asked hurriedly, "For example?"
Lilly replied, "Like on other people''s graves!"
She took a bug bite from the duck as she talked.
The duck legs made by Grandma are delicious!
Josh muttered, "Who in the world would sit on someone else''s grave..."
But Hannah opened her mouth in a daze.
She was tired from ying today and thought that she sat on a rock.
She seemed to be sitting on someone else''s grave.
Hannah
Big head Hannah pulled her trousers quickly. She was relieved that she was not wearing red
underwear.
"And then?" she asked.
"You can''t take pictures, you might identally take pictures of the ghosts and it mighte back with
you,"
"Don''t eat the offerings,peting with ghosts for food will bring you bad luck,"
"Don''t step on the ritual papers..."
"Don''t…"
...
Lilly stated a lot of things.
Josh was speechless as he did not know there were many taboos during Ghost Festival.
Hannah had a headache as no one could remember all these taboos!
…
Meanwhile, the y family was also eating, but the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
Upon hearing that their kids did not buy the burial plot, his mouth gaped.
ire did not have the appetite to eat, she put down her cutlery and said, "Dad, don''t think about it too
much, it''s not that we''re not buying it..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man waved his hand, "Why are you talking about this? Let''s not
talk about it!"
After finishing speaking, he said to himself, "I only have a few days left, I don''t care if I die. Most
importantly, all of you have your lives to live. Don''t worry about me, you can just bury me anywhere,"
ire was speechless for a moment.
No one would discuss this matter. Which family would discuss which burial plot to buy when they were
about to die?
They were nning on buying a burial plot because the old man came back with the flyer one day.
To put it in a good way, their family was open-minded about life and death. They saw it as a natural
phenomenon.
However, was it the case?
ire felt suffocated.
The old man put down his cutlery and said, "I''m full, you guys can continue,"
After speaking, he trembled as he got up and went back to the room.
Ken blurted out after seeing the door closed, "ire, why did you make Dad disappointed? Dad is old
and why can''t you grant his final wish?
"You''re right, I''m useless because I only earn four thousand dors a month and don''t have the money
to buy a burial plot for Dad! If I had the money, I would''ve given Dad what he wanted without
hesitation,"
"How selfish are you?"
After Ken finished speaking, he went back to the room.
ire bit her lips and tried her best to hold back her tears.
However, ire could not hold it back and tears dripped.
Was she wrong?
Was she wrong for being calctive about her brother?
ire''s mother sighed, "Don''t take it to heart dear… You know how your father is,"
ire sibbed and said, "What did I do wrong, Mom? L''s father said he''ll divorce me if I paid the full
price for the plot,"
ire was confused.
Some things should not be said to mothers.
It was not certain if her mother would tell her father about what she said earlier. However, it would be
difficult to get along with her son-inw if she did so.
The olddy was silent and had a look of pain.
"I''m so sorry for you, ire. You see, your brother isn''t married yet so, you have to take care of him,"
"Think about it, your brother has a partner now. If his partner knows that he is such a useless and
ipetent man, there might be a problem,"
"Your father still has a couple of days left, and I urged your brother to get married as soon as possible.
However, the other party is still thinking about it..."
If his partner knew what condition his family was in and how Ken depended on his family for everything,
they would not dare to marry him.
It was alright if she did not marry him. However, if the rumors got out, no one would want to marry Ken,
and ire''s mother could not bear to see him being single…
ire said stubbornly: "But why should I pay? I also have a family to feed. I paid for the down payment
when he bought the house, and I paid for all of Dad''s hospitalization and therapy sessions. Why can''t
he pay 100,000 dors?"
The olddy sighed, "Isn''t he broke?"
Ken suddenly opened the door and shouted, "Mom, did you know what she said? She told me to sell
the house!"
ire said anxiously, "Ken!"
Ken added, "Why can''t I tell Mom about it? Don''t you think you''re too much?"
The olddy was stunned and did not know what to say. She could only persuade them one at a time.
Eventually, she went back to her room powerlessly.
The old man was eavesdropping on their conversation. He immediately sat by the bed when his wife
came in.
The olddyined, "Do you think it''s okay for them to quarrel?"
The old man bit his lips, "It''s wrong for ire to make her brother sell his house!"
She had money but was not willing to spend it on him.
He did not believe that his son-inw was going to divorce ire.
His son-inw made a lot of money and ire had a well-off family.
But what about his son? His son worked very hard, and his ie was not even one-tenth of his
sister''s.
Shouldn''t siblings help each other out?
In addition, Ken was not married yet because the bride said she wanted a dowry of 200000 dors.
ording to him, ire should pay for Ken''s marriage so he could die in peace.
A sensible daughter shouldn''t let her parents worry.
And now they''re arguing at home…Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
