Chapter 112 112
Taking the printed photos, Zhou Di was afraid to enter the house for a long time. She was afraid that the truth of the matter was something she could not bear. Even if that home was only heavy and unfair to her, and there was no warmth of family affection, it was her home in the end.
Looking back at Li Zezhi, Zhou Di asked, "If this matter is not resolved, how long can I live?"
Li Zezhi glanced at the dead aura wrapped around her body and was silent for a while: "It's about three days."
Zhou Di let out a deep breath, then smiled bitterly: "I... go back first, thank you for your help to me these days, and thank you for your willingness to help me, thank you."
Without waiting for Li Zezhi to say anything, Zhou Di grabbed her schoolbag belt tightly and walked towards the messy home.
Zhou Di lives in the old city area, and the whole area is full of such low houses. One building only has three floors, but there are three residents on the first floor, the kind shared by the kitchen and bathroom. Zhou Di lives on the first floor. There is no living room in the house. There is only two beds, a curtain is separated in the middle. The one facing out is the one sleeping for parents, and the one who is four-year-old brother inside.
Zhou Di also has a ten-year-old sister. The place where she and her sister live is an expanded balcony. She is just a bed with a few wooden boards. She usually sits on the ground to do homework with her sister, and writes books on the bed, without any private space.
When Zhou Di returned home, her father happened to come back from buying vegetables. She was a little surprised to see her eldest daughter at the door: "Why is it so early today? It's not that she made some mistakes at school and was driven back."
Zhou Di lowered her eyes: "No."
Hearing the sound of talking at the door, Zhou Di's mother ran to open the door, but didn't even look at her eldest daughter: "I'm back, so hurry up and go to cook. I told me that I shouldn't go to high school. It was great to go directly to technical secondary school, but the next door family is now working and making money. His son is as old as you. You are not only not making money, but also keeps burning money. Your school is also black, and you always pay various fees, this fee and that fee, and find various reasons to ask for money. In the end, they all went into your teacher's pocket. Oh, did you hear that? Hurry up and cook. Why do you stand here like a wood?"
Zhou Di put down her schoolbag, took out the photo and handed it to her parents: "Can you tell me who they are?"
The father, who had already changed his clothes and was about to lie on the bed and watch TV waiting for dinner, glanced at him and was stunned. Zhou Di's mother glanced at him subconsciously, her eyes slightly panicked, and then said, "What, who are you? Come back with something in a mess and go to cook quickly. Your brother is almost out of school, what time is it!"
Zhou Di's eyes were slightly red, but her expression was extremely calm and looked at her mother: "Do you really don't know each other? Dad? Mom? Do you really don't know each other?"
Zhou Di's father was inexplicably panicked and took the photo from Zhou Di and teared it up directly: "You are looking for trouble today, right? For some reason, can you take photos of others at home? Have you not hit you for a long time? "
Zhou Di closed her eyes: "He is pestering me."
Zhou Di's mother subconsciously said, "What?"
Zhou Di looked at her parents and couldn't help but burst into tears: "He was pestering me. The young man in the photo was pestering me. I was about to die. You sold me and sold it to a dead person. Now this dead person is going to take me away!!"
Zhou Di's father slapped Zhou Di and said, "What are you talking nonsense!"
Zhou Di covered her red and swollen face that was beaten, staring at them and questioned: "I'm talking nonsense. Do you have any idea what you did? For the sake of money? For the sake of money, I gave my ghost marriage to a dead person? I'm only seventeen years old, I'm your daughter! How can you do this? How can you do it?"
Seeing that the daughter had already found out about the matter, Zhou Di's mother was too lazy to hide it anymore and said indifferently: "This matter has no loss to you, so you should just pretend that you don't know. You will take the college entrance examination next year. The tuition fee for college is so expensive. Do you still want to go to school?"
"College entrance examination? College? I don't know if I have tomorrow! I said, the dead man is pestering me now. He wants to take me away, and I'm going to die. Do you know?"
Zhou Di’s mother was too lazy to talk to her anymore: “I think you’re crazy! If you don’t cook, don’t eat tonight!”
Zhou Di pulled her mother: "Mom, I beg you, can you give the money back to others? Is this ghost marriage invalid? I really didn't lie to you. The dead man was pestering me, he was really pestering me, he wanted me to go down and accompany him, I was almost dying!"
Zhou Di's mother pulled Zhou Di away and even kicked her: "Refund money? I think you are really obsessed with ghosts! Raising you so big, giving you food and drink, do you know how much the family's expenses are! Now it's just a form in your name, you're doing this. I'm really ungrateful! Raising you is better than raising a dog, and the dog will shake its tail at me!"
Zhou Di sat on the ground and cried in despair, but her father was upset and directly sucked the cigarette in his hand. Zhou Di had been beaten by her father since she was a child. When she saw his movements, she instinctively reacted to want to hide. Zhou Di's father pulled her hair and dragged her to the balcony: "I see, you are so worried after a few days of life, and you are itchy and crying. I'll let you cry enough today!"
After saying that, he picked up the clothes stick and hit Zhou Di.
Although Li Zezhi couldn't see the situation inside the house, the old house itself was not very soundproof. With his cultivation, he naturally could hear the situation inside the house clearly. Now that he heard that Zhou Di was being beaten, he couldn't help but want to rush in and stop him.
Just as he was about to move, he heard the voice transmission from his master: "What do you want to do?"
Li Zezhi subconsciously looked around and didn't see the figure of his master, but he had experienced too much while practicing, so he replied, "Master, I..."
Si Yang said: "You want to go in and stop it? What is your identity to stop it? What after you stop it?"
Li Zezhi couldn't help but say, "Explain the situation to them. If they don't believe it, I'll let them see the ghost with their own eyes!"
Si Yang chuckled: "Do you think they will believe it when they see a ghost, and then break the engagement, and the matter will be resolved?"
Li Zezhi naturally thought so. Zhou Di's parents would agree to this kind of ghost marriage. In addition to making money, they must be because they don't believe in this kind of thing. These days, how many people believe in ghost marriage? If he had been before, he would definitely not believe it, and just regarded it as the dregs left over from feudal society.
Si Yang: "Do you know what you mean to Zhou Di now?"
Li Zezhi thought for a while: "Can you help her?"
Si Yang said: "You should be able to understand what the light in the darkness, the life-saving straw under the fall, means to those in despair. You gave them hope, and even stood up without hesitation. For those who are helped and protected by you, what does your existence mean? Is it really just someone who can help her?"
Li Zezhi was speechless.
Si Yang said: "As the greater your ability to do the bigger things, you can participate in her life as much as you can. Too much is as bad as too much, then you know that people can be kind, but they must not be too kind. Do you understand?"
Li Zezhi looked at Zhou Di's house, which was beating and scolding, was silent for a long time, and nodded: "I understand Master."
After standing outside Zhou Di's house for a while, Li Zezhi turned around and left.
The next day, Li Zezhi thought Zhou Di could not come, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Zhou Di looking out the window in a daze. Li Zezhi walked to his seat and sat down. He looked at Zhou Di. Although the weather was getting warmer, he was still wearing long-sleeved trousers. There was no scar on his skin exposed. No one knew what kind of beating this girl had suffered yesterday.
Zhou Di smiled at him with an extremely bitter smile: "Just you guessed, they don't believe that the ghost of that person is pestering me and are unwilling to refund the money. I, I don't know what to do."
Li Ze knew: "If your parents are willing to break the contract and return the money, I can find someone to help you mediate it, otherwise things will be a little troublesome."
Zhou Di pursed her lips: "Is that ghost still following me? Can you let my parents see him too?"
Li Zezhi looked around when he heard this. Seeing that those who had arrived in the classroom were either having breakfast or sitting together chatting, or copying homework, no one noticed them, so he took out a talisman and used his body to block the talisman paper and opened his eyes. When he saw a hazy black shadow in one corner of the classroom. I don’t know if he was injured by him last time, his strength was obviously much weaker.
"I can let your parents meet you too."
Li Zezhi gave Zhou Di a small bottle of water and asked her to put it in the water for her parents to drink, and then she would see the ghost.
Li Zezhi thought that when Zhou Di’s parents saw the ghost, the rest would naturally be coordinated. And her parents knew that Zhou Di had already anticipated the reactions her parents would have. She just couldn’t help but hold a glimmer of hope. After all, that was her parents, and who would have the heart to give up if they were not completely desperate.
Unfortunately, things did not go beyond her expectations. Looking at the door that was tightly closed after driving her out, Zhou Di really didn't even cry. For the sake of that money, even though she knew she was plagued by ghosts, her parents' choice was to drive her out instead of returning the money to save her life.
The past scenes of more than ten years appeared in her mind like a revolving lantern when the door of her house was closed. There was no warm family affection at all, only beating and scolding, endless things to do, endless disgust, food that will never be full, and countless unfairness.
Looking at the dark sky without a single star, Zhou Di couldn't think of a reason to survive. So hardworking to study was to make money in the future and make this family live a better life? Now, what else do you need to do in the future?
The next moment, the door of the house was opened, and Zhou Di's heart beat wildly in an instant, but it was not her parents who came out, but her sister who had been dependent on her since childhood.
Zhou Shuang rushed out and hugged her sister, crying, "Sister, take me away, I will follow you wherever you go! Even if there is a ghost following you, I will not be afraid!"
The room was still yelling and cursing about the bad luck of the Sangmenxing. Zhou Di touched her little sister's dry hair, suddenly smiled, and then led her only relative in the world and left her home where she had lived for seventeen years.
