Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Substitute Bride Sister 42

"Li Hongchun, give me back my life..."

"Li Hongchun, give me back my life..."

Li Hongchun was in a drowsy slumber when she seemed to hear a woman’s sobbing. She slightly opened her eyes and saw a ghostly woman in white standing by her bedside.

The ghostly woman in white was staring at her coldly, extending a hand towards her.

Li Hongchun was so frightened that her sleepiness vanished at once. She quickly sat up, clutching the quilt as she shrank to the other side of the bed, "Xi...Xiao Yan, why... why haven’t you reincarnated yet? Please, Xiao Yan, go reincarnate. You’ve been dead for so many years. You’re dead, just stay dead. Stop haunting the living. I... you see, I have suffered too. I just got out of prison. I... please, Xiao Yan, I’m begging you, stop haunting me. Boo hoo... I was wrong, I’ll kneel and admit my mistake. I owe you, in my next life I’ll repay you as a cow or a horse, alright? Just stop haunting me."

Li Hongchun knelt on the bed, frantically kowtowing to the ghostly woman.

Her head was hitting the quilt, so it didn’t hurt.

Yuan Chun grabbed her hair and dragged her off the bed, forcing her head to the ground.

The floor was concrete.

Her head made loud thumping sounds.

It wasn’t long before several large welts appeared on Li Hongchun’s forehead, and she was bleeding.

Until Li Hongchun fainted dead away, Yuan Chun let her go, and then leisurely opened the door and walked out.

The following noon, while Yuan Chun and Meng Fei were eating, 007 sent her a message, "Host, Li Hongchun went to the hospital and came back. She moved out of that little apartment, saying it was haunted. She claimed she was beaten by a ghost and extorted five hundred yuan from the landlord."

The landlord didn’t want to be extorted and didn’t believe his house was haunted. But with Li Hongchun flaunting her forehead injury and threatening to tell the neighbors, the landlord was afraid the neighbors would actually believe her ghost story. That would make it difficult to rent out the place and cause bigger losses, so he gave Li Hongchun five hundred yuan to settle the matter.

Yuan Chun communicated with 007 through her consciousness, "Don’t worry, I won’t let the landlord suffer a loss. Tonight, I’ll return the money to the landlord. Help me find out the landlord’s address."

"Got it, Host."

In the afternoon, Eldest Madam Li came over, chatting with Yuan Chun for a long while before hesitantly telling her, "Yuan Chun, Hongchun has been released from prison. You didn’t know, did you? A brother your big brother knows works at the prison. He ran into your big brother at noon and said Hongchun was released, and it was Mom who picked her up."

Yuan Chun feigned a surprised expression, "Isn’t it not time yet? How come she got out early?"

"I heard it was a sentence reduction."

Eldest Madam Li sighed, worry evident in her voice, "Yesterday, Mom came into town but didn’t tell us a thing. She only came to my house in the evening, asking your big brother to take her back. She probably didn’t want us to know that Hongchun was released from prison."

"Yuan Chun, don’t blame Mom. Hongchun holds a special place in her heart. If we don’t let her care for Hongchun, she’ll surely feel upset. She’s old now, and if she wants to take care of her, let her. But whether we want to get involved depends on our willingness, Mom can’t force us."

Eldest Madam Li’s children were all grown; her eldest son was already dating and planned to marry by the end of this year. After her children had grown up, she started to understand Mrs. Li’s mindset a bit more.

All children belong to their mother, and a mother always hopes that each child will do well. If one is not doing well, she will want the others to help more, redistributing wealth to ease poverty.

So, over the years, she hadn’t given Mrs. Li money but hadn’t stopped her from caring about Li Hongchun either.
