Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser Chapter 157 - I Want Spirit Rice

Chapter 157: I Want Spirit Rice

Chi Guihua’s expression was pained as they casually dropped 200,000 to 300,000 on each orchid, and she felt slightly apprehensive. It was only when Gao Lingxue told her that they could make back the money that she felt more at ease. Ever since Gao Lingxue earned 300,000 yuan, she thought herself extraordinarily capable. How could she not do what Chi Shuyan had done? She used the loan money to buy ten orchids, but she didn’t have the patience to cultivate every single one.
But things quickly didn’t go as Gao Lingxue wanted. All ten of them withered and the money from the loan was all for nothing. They had to take out yet another loan, but they were simply tearing down the east wall to patch the west wall. Soon, Gao Lingxue’s family couldn’t cope with it, so they went to borrow money from Chi Guihua’s Fourth Brother. However, Chi Lingyan didn’t even want to see them, let alone lend them money.
Gao Lingxue’s family resented Chi Lingyan’s ruthlessness. Who would have thought that it was Chi Shuyan who spread the word about them. Their stingy and mean reputation had long spread all over the place. Dejected, they looked to borrow money from other people, but unfortunately weren’t able to.
They couldn’t pay off the loan, so the interest snowballed. Soon, Gao Lingxue’s house was seized by the bank and the whole family was driven out and left stranded on the streets.
Chi Shuyan was naturally very satisfied; she hadn’t even gotten revenge before this family dug their own grave. To prevent her father from helping, she had him cut off ties with the Gao family and also blocked all news of them.
By the time Chi Lingyan found out, Gao Han had already sold Gao Lingxue and his two sons one after another. Gao Han lost everything at the gambling table and the moneylenders were after him. Chi Guihua couldn’t stand this kind of life and went crazy, but this was a story for later.
…
After the rascals returned from the turbulent burial mound, how could the Si family, especially the Si parents, accept the fact that their son Si Yinghua had died when they saw that all the other brats were alive? No matter how many times Zhu Bocheng explained it, how could the Si parents be willing to accept it? The families had originally been close because of their children, but with Si Yinghua’s death, they practically became mortal enemies.
Zhu Bocheng was now just glad that Si Yinghua wasn’t Father and Mother Si’s only son, otherwise it would have been a huge feud. While Father and Mother Si now hated the Qi, Wang, Lu and Zhu families, they didn’t represent the entire Si family. The Si family was particularly afraid of the Qi family, which also still had Qi Zhenbai. How could the Si family dare to provoke the Qi family? In the name of avoiding harm and upholding mutual interests, the matter of Si Yinghua’s death was dropped.
When Zhu Bocheng called Chi Shuyan to tell her about this, she was quite perplexed. But in the end, Si Yinghua was just an outsider. As a bystander, she felt some sympathy, but didn’t have any other thoughts.
Zhu Bocheng didn’t forget the last time he went to Sister Shuyan’s house to get the talismans. Her pickled vegetables and porridge had been especially delicious. He had specially gone to the countryside these days to buy some pure and organic rice. When he got home and cooked it, it wasn’t as tasty as what he had eaten.
Zhu Bocheng couldn’t help but say, “Sister Shuyan, your man took away all the pickled vegetables you had me bring back before. You have to compensate me no matter what, right?” After saying that, he still went one step further. “By the way, Sister Shuyan, the rice at your house was extraordinarily tasty last time. Can you send me some too?”
