Chapter 1294: She Wanted To Spend New Year’s Eve With Her Parents
“Mom, it’s cold at home, so I want to spend New Year’s Eve with you and dad. Three of us, just like before.”
After that, He Xiyan took out the wine she had brought over and poured three glasses. She drank one of them and poured the other two in front of the tomb.
It was said that during the sacrifice, the soul of the dead would come back and gather with their relatives for a short time. She didn’t know if it was true, but at the moment she really just wanted to be with her parents.
“Mom, you know I’m here, right?” He Xiyan blew her nose and said, “I know you and dad will surely bless me in heaven. I always dream of you. In my dream, you go to school to see me and you ask me if I have money for meals and clothes.”
He Xiyan stroked her chest, where it ached suddenly.
“Mom, you and dad do not need to worry. I will live a good life and work hard to finish my studies. I have a job now. Although I don’t earn much monthly, I can live on that in school. Also, I paid off another sum of debt yesterday, and paid back the money I borrowed from two classmates. One thousand yuan, though not much, yet I feel happy because I don’t want to owe them money.”
“Mom, there’s another thing. Don’t be angry. I will not go to my uncle’s house or visit my grandparents any more. I have completely broken off relations with them. You know what? Uncle and aunt are not only unwilling to pay us back, they even denied having borrowed money from you. I’m so angry, so furious, but I don’t have any evidence to sue them. I want to kill them, but I can’t. Mom, if you are in the afterlife, you must not be so stupid. Don’t do anything for the uncle’s family, the ungrateful bitches. It’s not worth it. It’s really not worth it. Their selfishness is beyond your imagination.”
Speaking of this, He Xiyan gave several low coughs, her chest seeming to be stuffed with a huge stone.
Suddenly a cold wind blew over on her face. She paused, shrugging her shoulders suddenly, and then looked around. She felt as if someone had patted her on the shoulder, very lightly.
“Mom… Is that you?” He Xiyan opened her eyes wide.
Although she knew that ghosts were a kind of superstition, she really felt as if someone had patted her on the shoulder.
He Xiyan took a deep breath. In front of her parents’ tomb, she was not afraid. Even if it was dark here without any sunlight, she did not feel frightened. Because even if there were ghosts there, they must be her parents. They would not hurt her.
“Mom, if you’re really around here, you must be able to hear me. Don’t worry. I will do what I have promised. I will study hard and find a good job in the future. I’ll have a good time.”
He Xiyan looked around again to see if there was really a so-called ghost, the ghost of his mother. But she really didn’t see anything different except the trees and grass that were constantly shaken by the wind.
She stood up and took a lot of paper money out of the basket. In addition to paper money, there were a lot of others burned as offerings to the dead.
She found an empty place and burned these paper money.
