Amelia was stunned. Breaking legs and destroying the vocal chords was not a big deal? Then what was a big deal?

The hypocritical ghost sighed with pity. “If Yali wants to take the four children away, would she not take care of her mother-in-law? Her mother-in-law is so pitiful. Lying at the door and saying that if her daughter-in-law leaves, it’s equivalent to forcing her to death.”

The flirtatious ghost couldn’t believe it. “So?”

The hypocritical ghost: “I think she’s right. It’s not easy to be so old…” Although that mother-in-law of Yali’s was not a good mother-in-law and often ordered Yali to do this and that, but which daughter-in-law did not have a conflict with her mother-in-law? It was only right for a daughter-in-law to support her mother-in-law in her old age. This was not a big deal, but if Yali left her mother-in-law behind, her mother-in-law would starve to death at home without anyone to take care of her. Life was at stake.”

The hypocritical ghost: “I helped stop Yali and told her not to leave, to hurry up and get someone to find her husband. Isn’t it good for a family to live together? It’s not benevolent to leave an elder like this!”

The ghosts:

Elmer sneered. “If you’re benevolent, then you help take care of her mother-in-law!”

The hypocritical ghost sighed. “I want to too, but how can I say this? The old lady has her own son. Moreover, living under someone else’s roof is not as comfortable as living in one’s own house.”

Amelia and William were stunned. Amelia didn’t understand adult logic. If the old lady was pitiful, then wasn’t Aunt Yali pitiful? Her situation was caused by the old lady and her husband! Why did he only pitty the old lady but not Aunty Yali?

The hypocritical ghost continued, “Then that day, Yali’s husband came back. Yali didn’t manage to leave and was blinded in one eye by her husband. Sigh, what a tragedy.”

All the ghosts: “???” What tragedy? The person who caused the tragedy was you!

The hypocritical ghost: “It was also on that day that the debt collectors came to their door. Yali’s husband was beaten to death. The debt collectors wanted to take their house. The poor children and old lady, as well as Yali, who was crippled, blind, and mute, could only live in the pigpen next to my house.”

Amelia: “Huh?”

William: “Didn’t you say that they were pitiful? Why did make them live in the pigpen?”

The hypocritical ghost: “If I had an extra house, I would definitely let them stay. The villagers don’t help them. Only I was kind enough to let them have a place to stay. In those few years, because of them, I didn’t raise pigs anymore.”

Everyone was speechless. So you still think you’re great?

The hypocritical ghost said, “After the pigpen is cleaned, it can be considered a house. Although it’s a little small, with some straw, it covers you from wind and rain. Moreover, there’s a latrine beside the pigpen. It’s convenient for the elderly and children to go to the toilet, right?”

Everyone:

Later on, Yali had no choice. Her family was going to be chased by debt collectors. She was blind, crippled, and mute. If she stayed in the village, she could still go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to ensure that she wouldn’t starve to death. If she went out, no job would want her in her current state. She could only continue to stay in the village.

The hypocritical ghost said, “Yali and the others have finally settled down and lived a harmonious and beautiful life.”

Amelia said in a daze, “It seems like you’re the only one who feels harmonious…”

The hypocritical ghost pretended not to hear her and continued, “After a while, the reform came and the environment improved. Some people in the village went out to do business, and Yali was also tempted.” There were some small vendors in the county city who were very mobile. Yali had heard that there were mobile shoe repair stalls. As long as they were willing to suffer, if they followed people to a crowded place, they could help people wipe their shoes and mend their shoes. If they were lucky, they could earn three to four hundred yuan a month. At that time, the average salary was generally not high, only three to five hundred yuan a month.

Yali wanted her children to go to school, so she had to go out and earn this money.

The hypocritical ghost: “But as I said, Yali has never seen those who wipe shoes. Their shirt collars are open to their stomach. When they lower their heads to wipe the boss’s shoes, they will be seen naked. The flesh on their chests will sway. If she doesn’t do this, she won’t attract business. Some people with dishonest hands and feet will even touch it. Do you think this kind of work is what a proper woman should do? Yali doesn’t know anything! She was just tricked, she thought that this money was easy to earn.”

Everyone was speechless again.

Amelia remembered that she had seen a shoe polishing vendor on the street before. The lady who shined shoes was not like that at all.

William frowned. “Not all shoe polishers are like that.”
