Chapter 155 Chen Xiaolian sold Wang Xiaoyu's corpse to me
Where did the little fish's body go?

"Could we have found the wrong burial site? Is it not here?"

“It’s right here, no mistake. Before Xiaoyu died, Chen Xiaolian said she was going to throw away this straw mat because there was a corner torn.” And that corner is still there.

“I remember it was here too.”

If the location is correct, then how could the body have simply vanished?

All eyes were on Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian.

"Tell me, where exactly is the little fish's body?"

Chen Xiaolian blinked, her eyes filled with guilt. "Who, who knows? Maybe some wild animal in the back mountain dug it up and ate it."

Sikong Yan felt he couldn't stand Chen Xiaolian anymore and retorted again, "You're kidding me. After that beast dug, it could cover you up with soil again."

Bian Dong: "Wang Youqian, Chen Xiaolian, I advise you to tell us where Wang Xiaoyu's body is right away. We came with an application order. If we don't find Wang Xiaoyu's body, then you are obstructing law enforcement, and we have the right to take you away."

Upon hearing that Bian Dong, a police officer, was going to take them away, Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian panicked.

In a panic, Chen Xiaolian tugged at Wang Youqian. Wang Youqian had been silent all along, and it was almost always Chen Xiaolian who was making noise. But everyone knew that Wang Youqian was actually Chen Xiaolian's pillar of support, and that Wang Youqian was the one in charge.

Wang Youqian grew impatient with Chen Xiaolian's nagging and uttered a single word: "Speak."

The implication was that they wanted Chen Xiaolian to tell them where Wang Xiaoyu's body was.

“But…” Chen Xiaolian hesitated, but Wang Youqian gave her a cold look, and she shut up.

Actually, did Wang Youqian want to come? No, he didn't.

Did he want Chen Xiaolian to speak? Of course not.

However, given the current situation, the die is cast and cannot be left unturned; they have no choice but to speak out.

Wang Youqian always felt that after Xiaoyu died, the matter trapped Wangjia Village, and after people died one after another, it got out of control.

He was even starting to worry about his own safety.

He was afraid that his unfilial daughter would also harm him.

He could tell that the last group to arrive, led by the girl in the blue dress, were capable. Although they hadn't made a move yet, Wang Youqian was always very good at judging people.

Therefore, besides keeping your secrets, you should try your best not to offend them.

He hoped that if he were ever in danger, they could save his life.

These people must all be compassionate, and they must all know that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

"Chen Xiaolian, hurry up and tell me, where exactly is Xiaoyu's body?"

Faced with the villagers' questions, Chen Xiaolian finally gritted her teeth and said two words, "Sold."

Sold?!
These two words caused a sudden, momentary boom in the heads of everyone present.

"What does 'sold' mean?"

"Chen Xiaolian, are you obsessed with money? When Xiaoyu was alive, you were given so much money, wasn't that enough? Now that she's dead, you're even going after her corpse. Do you have any humanity left? Are you really Xiaoyu's mother?" This must be an enemy.

"Tell me, how exactly did you sell the little fish's body, and where did you sell it to?"

The women in the village hated Chen Xiaolian and her husband with a passion.

Wang Xiaoyu was their daughter! How could this couple be so heartless as to do such a thing? Chen Xiaolian retorted in a low voice, "That person is dead. Even if she can be sold, that's her value. Others wouldn't even be willing to sell her. Besides, she was our daughter. We raised her all these years. She was supposed to support us for life, but she committed suicide and died so young. If she hadn't died, she would have supported us for decades more. Now that she's dead, shouldn't we get back the decades of alimony she owes?"

In short, Chen Xiaolian's point was that selling Wang Xiaoyu's body was perfectly reasonable.

Xu Qingling looked at Chen Xiaolian and saw no trace of guilt in her eyes, nor any intention to admit her mistake.

She knew that this person was extremely resolute, but also completely distorted.

Just as everyone was questioning Chen Xiaolian, a man suddenly walked in and said, "Chen Xiaolian sold Wang Xiaoyu's corpse to me."

People looked in the direction of the sound, and soon someone recognized her.

"You, aren't you the sorceress we invited?"

That's right, the person speaking was the one staying at Wang's Guesthouse, who had been invited by Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian to perform a ritual because Wang Xiaoyu had died.

However, two disciples from the Tantai and Nalan families said that this sorceress was a fraud and had no real abilities.

"Yes, Xiaoyu is her daughter-in-law now," Chen Xiaolian admitted, resigned to her fate.

But then everyone was puzzled. Wasn't this little fish dead? How could she become the daughter-in-law of this fake sorceress?
Xu Qingling thought for a moment and quickly understood. Her gaze towards Wang Youqian, Chen Xiaolian, and the sorceress gradually turned cold.

These three people actually...

Can a dead person remarry? Of course, they can, and that is...

"A ghost marriage!" Sikong Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"You, you wouldn't be marrying Xiaoyu off to this fake sorceress's dead son, would you?"

After Sikong Yan's reminder, everyone realized what had happened.

The fortune teller also admitted, "They agreed to sell it to me. I asked them first, and they even asked me for 20 yuan."

"Damn it, what sins did Xiaoyu commit to have such parents? They made her sell herself while she was alive, and they won't let her go even after she's dead."

"Wang Youqian, Chen Xiaolian, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

With the shaman's explanation, everyone quickly understood the process.

That day, Chen Xiaolian opened the door and found that Wang Xiaoyu had committed suicide.

There was little heartache, only cursing. After all, Wang Xiaoyu was dead, so who would make money for them in the future?

Moreover, Wang Xiaoyu happened to die in the guesthouse. If word got out, wouldn't their guesthouse become a haunted house? Would any tourists still want to stay there in the future?
In any case, Chen Xiaolian harbored more resentment towards Wang Xiaoyu's death.

That same day, she and Wang Youqian wrapped Wang Xiaoyu's body in a straw mat and hastily buried it.

The day after they were buried, they overheard some news.

That's because the sorceress Zheng from the next village is looking for a young girl who recently died to marry her son in a ghost marriage, and she's offering 15 yuan for it.

Chen Xiaolian and Wang Youqian were immediately interested when they heard about it.

Anyway, Wang Xiaoyu is already dead. It's a blessing that she can earn some money for her parents' retirement.

So they immediately contacted the fortune teller, Zheng, but they asked for an additional 20 yuan.
