Chapter 181: Waking Up

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ah Hui grew up in the mountains. According to Aunt Mei, she was “wild”, so sometimes when Mei Lian asked her to work, she wasn’t very willing. She even intentionally messed things up, leading to Mei Lian being criticized by Aunt Mei.

During one incident, Mei Lian, mimicking her mother-in-law, physically attacked Ah Hui. Consequently, Ah Hui gradually stopped resisting her commands.

Once Mei Lian sensed success, she became more unrestrained. Later, when in a bad mood, she would take it out on Ah Hui.

Why didn’t Ah Hui complain to Aunt Mei and her husband about Mei Lian’s abuse in private?

Perhaps because, in Ah Hui’s view, both Aunt Mei and Mei Lian were essentially the same person, with no real distinction between them.

Mei Lian abused her, and so did Aunt Mei. Was Ah Hui supposed to report to one abuser about the actions of the other? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Ah Hui knew that complaining was futile and might even result in more severe retaliation.

Regarding Ma Biao, Ah Hui knew he hardly cared about family matters and rarely conversed with her. To her, he was no different from a dead man.

Upon hearing Ye Ling mention Ah Hui’s injuries, onlookers regarded Aunt Mei and Mei Lian with peculiar expressions.

In rural areas, a mother-in-law lecturing her daughter-in-law was common, but physically harming her, as in Ah Hui’s case, was unusual.

Ye Ling was correct. Aunt Mei’s treatment of Ah Hui didn’t seem like that of a daughter-in-law but of an enemy.

At that moment, those who previously supported Aunt Mei adopted a neutral stance and no longer sympathized with her.

Aunt Mei’s complexion alternated between pale and ashen, resembling a painter’s palette.

Subsequently, she glared at Mei Lian, planning to address the matter upon returning home.

The priority now was to secure compensation.

Aunt Mei coldly addressed Ye Ling. “You’ve completed the examination, haven’t you? While my daughter-in-law does have some old injuries, they shouldn’t cause her sudden death, right? Don’t attempt to change the subject.”

Ye Ling slowly stood up. “You mean to say that you still insist that your daughter-in-law’s death is related to me? Slander is not a small crime. Although I’m just an ordinary educated youth, I’m still under the management of the relevant departments of the county government. Slandering me, and slandering your neighbor, are two different things.”

Aunt Mei frowned, glaring fiercely at Ye Ling. “Who slandered you?” she shouted. “How is my daughter-in-law’s death unrelated to you? The button that fell off your clothes is still in my hands. Don’t even think about denying it! Let me tell you, I’m not afraid of you scaring me. You killed someone, and the one who should go to jail is you!”

As Aunt Mei became more agitated, she almost rushed towards Ye Ling, raising her hand to slap Ye Ling’s face. “You killed my daughter-in-law and even seduced my son. I will never let you off!”

“Let’s talk things out. Don’t fight,” The onlookers urged, restraining Aunt Mei.

Ye Ling took a deep breath and looked calmly at Aunt Mei. “Alright, since you’ve put it this way, I have nothing else to say.”

Aunt Mei sneered. “What else can you say?”

Suddenly, Ye Ling smiled. Aunt Mei couldn’t understand why Ye Ling would smile like that. That smile seemed like Ye Ling had achieved what she wanted.

Before Aunt Mei could react, Ye Ling suddenly focused on the straw mat on the ground, squatting down slowly. She touched a few acupuncture points on Ah Hui’s body and said, “Alright, Ah Hui. Wake up.”

When Ye Ling spoke, everyone was stunned, questioning whether they had misheard.

What was Ye Ling saying?

All eyes turned to the deceased Ah Hui.

On the straw mat, the thin and weak girl who lay quietly suddenly trembled. Then, she stiffly propped herself up with her hands on the ground and slowly sat up!

“Ah, there’s a ghost!” Someone in the crowd screamed. Then, many people retreated in fear, gazing at Ah Hui in horror.

Ah Hui clutched her neck and coughed non-stop, struggling as if breathing was difficult.

Aunt Mei’s eyes widened as she looked at Ah Hui, her mind blank.

Mei Lian was also stunned, unable to believe what was happening before her. What was this? A supernatural transformation? Or was it haunted?
