Chapter 925 Extra Story - I'm released from prison, can you come pick me up?
"Neighbour and his granddaughter died from guilt," Miss Quiet reminisced as she recounted her revenge story.
"Six years ago, that man caused me to have a miscarriage and left me to drown in a cesspit. His granddaughter, Branny, ate a lot of my family's belongings but complained that I didn't give her enough to eat. I watched myself drown in the cesspit, devoid of any sympathy or pity. At that time, my heart was filled with hatred. I wanted to become a vengeful ghost to take revenge on them. Unfortunately, I had done too many good deeds in my lifetime, so I didn't have enough resentment to become a vengeful ghost. Satan gave me a chance to be reincarnated, but I didn't want to be reborn. I had hatred in my heart and concerns for my family. Therefore, I could only become a lonely wanderer, hiding in an old tree stump during the day and roaming the countryside at night."
"Although I didn't have the ability to take revenge, seeing my loved ones every day was a kind of solace. A year ago, after Ivy resurrected me, I decided to take revenge. However, they had all moved away to another place, and I didn't know their whereabouts. I could only hide at home quietly, waiting for the right moment. The man's deceased wife also died unjustly; he accidentally killed her while drunk. Because of this, his children didn't want anything to do with him. After his son and daughter-in-law divorced, they abandoned their child, who is Branny. He feels guilty towards his late wife and brings Branny back every year to visit her grave."
"Three days before the Qingming Festival, Billy and I started to execute our revenge plan. First, my mother-in-law disguised herself as the deceased wife, sitting in front of her grave. When the villagers passed by the cemetery and saw this scene, they were all very scared and told others that the deceased wife's ghost was not at peace and wanted to take him away. When they returned to the village that day and heard what everyone was saying, they didn't believe it at all. But when they were burning paper money at the grave, my mother-in-law, dressed as the deceased wife, suddenly appeared and frightened them to death. After that, my mother-in-law went back home, resumed her normal appearance, and never pretended to be the deceased wife again. However, many people had already seen the deceased wife sitting on the grave, and rumors spread that he wouldn't live much longer, which made him panic. Apart from my family and those two, no one else knew about my death." Miss Quiet sighed as she reached this part of the story.
She continued, "Everyone thought I had quarreled with my husband and had been working outside for over five years. This false claim was actually that bastard's idea. So, on this day, I returned home with my luggage. Everyone was delighted to see me back, urging me to live a good life with Billy. However, only those two felt fear upon my return. Because they were the ones who witnessed me drowning in the cesspit. In the evening,
"That bastard came to my house to investigate the situation. He intentionally avoided me and took my father and mother-in-law aside to talk."
"He said, 'Isn't your Miss Quiet drowned in a cesspit? We were all present when we buried the body!' My father-in-law said, 'What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter-in-law is alive and well! She's been working outside for the past few years.' That bastard said, 'Working? What kind of work? What happened five years ago? Don't your family members know? Miss Quiet clearly drowned in a cesspit, and the body was buried!' My mother-in-law said, 'You're talking nonsense! My daughter-in-law is lively and jumping around. When did she drown? You say we buried her, so where is the body? Go and see if there's a corpse!' That scoundrel, unwilling to accept defeat, picked up a shovel and started digging my grave. But I had already prepared myself and had been secretly watching nearby. After he finished digging the grave and found it empty, he was suddenly frightened. I appeared just at that moment and asked him, 'Have these years been good for you? Do you want to experience the smell of being choked by filth and bitten by maggots?' That old man was so scared that he screamed about ghosts and ran back to his own house. Branny was alone at home and, after hearing what he said, became even more frightened. But she was still a student and couldn't believe such things. Therefore, she bravely came to my house to uncover the truth. And I happened to be at home, frying meatballs. When I saw Branny, I smiled and said to her, 'Branny, you've grown up. Do you want to taste some meatballs?' Branny was extremely scared and stumbled back home. Since then, they became frightened whenever they saw me. But we didn't intend to take their lives. We stopped in time and started living a normal life. However, their guilty conscience got the better of them, and just two days ago, that scoundrel hung himself. Seeing this, Branny also had no confidence to go on living and took poison to end her own life."
"They're all dead? Sigh..." Ivy felt uneasy in her heart. No matter what, Branny was still a student, at the age of youth, yet...
"Ivy, do you think I'm cruel?" Miss Quiet asked disappointedly.
Thinking about Miss Quiet being kicked and miscarried, then thrown into a cesspit, losing her life twice, and Branny's indifference to save her, Ivy suddenly realized that compared to the suffering Miss Quiet endured, their deaths meant very little.
"Miss Quiet, you are a kind person. Their deaths are not your fault. They brought it upon themselves and have troubled consciences!" Ivy comforted her.
"Ivy, thank you..." Miss Quiet had been waiting for these words and tears welled up in her excited eyes.
Ten years later.
After everyone's diligent watering, the spirit tree finally blossomed.
Everyone in the Ashford family villa was excited.
It wouldn't be long before it bears fruit.
As long as it bears the spiritual fruits...
