Chapter 249 Ask Them Why
The appearance of sixteen female ghosts made the ward a little crowded. Looking at them wearing the same wedding dresses as hers, Song Weiyi was stunned.
There were so many ghosts in the ward that Song Fei shrank into Lin Qinfang's arms out of fear. Lin Qinfang also hugged him tightly out of fear, lowering her head and not daring to look at those female ghosts.
There was a female ghost standing behind Song Zhenglin. He turned his head blankly and met that familiar, pale face. His mental defenses collapsed instantly and he knelt on the ground, saying sorry over and over.
Yang Fan pointed at the sixteen female ghosts and answered Song Weiyi's previous question again, "Song Weiyi, ask them why I released Li Feng to kill your great-grandfather, your grandfather, and your father."
"If you don't know them, you can ask your uncle to introduce them to you. After all, these are your great aunts, aunts, and sisters."
"Also," Yang Fan looked at Song Weiyi deeply, "Did you really drown by accident?"
Song Weiyi was stunned for a moment. Didn’t she drown by herself? Could someone have killed her?
Suddenly, those tampered memories flooded into her mind like a tide, and Song Weiyi covered her head in pain.
Did she drown accidentally?
No! She was killed by her beloved parents!
That night, Song Weiyi drank a cup of her mother's hot milk before going to bed as usual. After drinking the milk, her body became weak.
Then she watched helplessly as her parents, who had loved her the most, became completely different people and threw her into the swimming pool at home.
The two of them stood on the shore, watching her struggle in the water with expressionless faces and finally sinking into the water.
She heard them say before she completely lost consciousness.
"There is no suitable girl in the family now, what should I do next?"
"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time."
So she was given to that ugly guy by them personally.
And her sisters, aunts, and great-aunts who didn't live past the age of twenty were all killed by them and given to that ugly ghost as brides?
Song Weiyi stood there blankly, unable to accept the truth.
"Officer Song, now is the time for you to tell us the truth." Yang Fan looked at Song Zhenglin who had collapsed.
Song Zhenglin rested his head on the ground, his body trembling continuously, and a painful voice came from his body, "I said... I said..."
……
Decades ago, the Song family lived in a poor village, and they lived a life of poverty and hunger.
Song's only great-grandfather, Song Dingquan, was the eldest son in the family. Due to his poor family background, he remained single until he was almost thirty years old.
When he was thirty years old, he accidentally picked up a box of gold next to an unnamed grave on the mountain.
The next day after the box was picked up, an accident suddenly happened. Song Dingquan's third sister, who had just turned 20 years old, slipped and fell while doing farm work. The back of her head hit a protruding stone and she died on the spot.
In their era, death was a very normal thing, and since it was a girl, the Song family didn't care about it.
The family took the box of gold and rebuilt their house. Song Dingquan, who had been unable to find a wife, also successfully married one.
But the whole family was lazy and idle, especially Song Dingquan, who had a bad habit of gambling. A box of gold was squandered in less than two years.
Without the gold, the family lived a tight life again. At this time, Song Dingquan accidentally picked up another box of gold in front of the lonely grave. This time the box was bigger than the previous one and contained more gold.
But the next day after picking up the gold, the fourth sister, who was about to get married, accidentally fell off a cliff and died while going to the city to buy something.
This box of gold did not last long before it was squandered by the Song family. Song Dingquan went to the lonely grave again and picked up another box of gold.
The Song family was so happy that they found gold once, twice, and three times. The tomb was like their treasury. As long as they had no money, they would definitely find gold there. But on the night of the third gold finding, one of Song Dingquan's cousins suddenly passed away.
At this time, the Song family felt something was wrong. This gold might have been obtained at the cost of their family members' lives.
However, the Song family, who had been dazzled by the gold, were reluctant to give up this free wealth, so they found a witch in the village who could communicate with ghosts and gods, and used the witch's psychic ability to contact the owner of the lonely grave.
The ghost told them: First, his grave needs to be renovated, and from then on the Song family will have to burn a lot of paper money and some fun and useful things in the world for him every month.
Second, every five years, the Song family needs to send him a virgin around 16-20 years old, and she must be a member of the Song family.
If the above two points are met, he will become the patron saint of the Song family, blessing the Song family's descendants with good fortune and rapid rise.
The first condition is easy to meet, but the second condition requires sacrificing the lives of his daughter and granddaughter. No normal person would agree to such a cruel way of exchanging benefits.
But the Song family, who were blinded by money and extremely patriarchal at the time, agreed without much thought.
As for daughters, they are raised to exchange for dowry. After they get married, they belong to someone else's family. It is no different from giving them to that ghost. On the contrary, that ghost can give them more money.
So this absurd and cruel agreement of exchanging the lives of the women in the family for the wealth and power of the men in the family was easily reached.
The witch also died on the spot after the séance. No one knew that the Song family had such a dirty deal with the evil spirit.
The deal with the evil spirit allowed the Song family to move from that poor mountain village to the prosperous urban area, from their self-built houses in the countryside to luxurious villas, and from their mobile stalls to a large listed company.
The children of the Song family don’t have to study much or work hard to easily get everything they want.
Any girl who was over 20 years old in the family would be sent to the guardian angel, and the Song family announced to the public that there was a family genetic disease that was passed down to girls but not boys, and girls would die before the age of 20.
And even if someone suspects their family, with the help of the patron saint, they will be cleared of any suspicion.
But as time went on, the time required by the guardian angel became shorter and shorter.
From five years to three years, and finally to recently when we were asked to send away two girls in just two months.
But none of them expected that after Song Weiyi was sent out, she would escape unexpectedly and meet Yang Fan.
After listening to Song Zhenglin's explanation, the ward fell into deathly silence, and everyone else was shocked by this so-called truth.
For the sake of wealth and glory, they sacrificed all the girls in their family to evil spirits. The men of the Song family are even more evil than evil spirits!
Lin Qinfang stared blankly at the man beside her, feeling cold all over, thinking that it was he who had killed their daughter with his own hands and sent her to that evil ghost.
Song Zhenglin cried with snot and tears, "I know this is wrong, but if I want to go find you, they won't allow me to go find you, and I'm afraid. I really know I was wrong, I'm sorry..."
He was afraid that he would lose the position of deputy director that he was about to obtain, and that the huge Song family would collapse and all its money would be lost.
Haha, it really is hard for him to describe his greed and hypocrisy in such a refreshing and refined way.
Listening to his hypocritical apology, Yang Fan's face showed no change in expression, and he even felt like laughing.
Lin Qinfang let go of Song Fei's hand. The latter wanted to hold her hand again nervously, but she shook him off.
Lin Qinfang stood up and hurriedly searched among the sixteen female ghosts. Finally, her eyes locked on the female ghost standing diagonally behind her.
Lin Qinfang stumbled to her and stretched out her hand tremblingly, "Yuanyuan..."
Song Yuanyuan looked at her, tears streaming from her eyes, "Mom, it hurts so much."
The evil ghost locked them up and tortured them in various ways every day.
Mom, it really hurts.
