"Brother, Mom, don't be sad. At most, you can find a second wife in the future. Nowadays, women who got married twice were not worse than those who got married for the first time. They were not as pretentious as those young girls who got married for the first time. Women who got married twice knew how to dote on others.”
Li Yu couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to return to his room.
Until now, he still didn't feel that he was wrong.
Which man wasn't a playboy? Isn't it normal to have an abortion? What era was this? The curse of the infant spirit might be a lie.
Although he thought so, reality was cruel.
A few years later, Li Yu had a few girlfriends in succession, but none of them could get pregnant with his child.
His mother urged him to quickly find a wife and let his sister give birth to a child for them to adopt.
Li Yu had no choice but to go on a blind date arranged by his mother. He chose a woman who was married twice and had no children. He heard that this woman couldn't give birth, so it was perfect for her to come to his house.
Two months later, the two of them held a simple wedding.
Another year later, her sister gave birth to a boy.
Li Yu's family adopted him.
The originally smart and cute boy had suddenly become stupid after staying at their house for half a year.
His new wife couldn't accept it and divorced Li Yu.
The mother later found several fortune-tellers to read her son's fortune. The gentlemen all said that he was destined to be childless. Even if he was adopted, he would eventually lose it.
His mother refused to give up.
Another year, her sister gave birth to a daughter and adopted her into their family.
The family raised the child until he was three years old, when the child passed away due to illness.
Later, Li Yu adopted a child from the welfare home, but he was unable to raise him.
From then on, their family finally gave up.
Li Yu only started to regret it now. If he had known this would happen, he would have taken his relationship seriously and not dated so many girls.
It was all his fault. Jiaojiao's child was already eight months old at that time. After the abortion, it was still a son. If the child was not aborted, he would have been in primary school, right?
He was filled with regret now, but it was too late. He would never have any children of his own in this lifetime. Once his parents died in the future, he would really be the only one left.

The timeline returned to the live broadcast room.
8:15.
Meng 'er and Fang Yi arrived at 208 Niu Village.
This was an old house. Two large white lanterns hung in front of the red painted door, and the green flames danced inside.
It was August, and the breeze blew on the two of them with a hint of coolness, giving them goosebumps.
Fang Yi was a little scared. She hugged Meng 'er's arm and said in a trembling voice,""Meng 'er, why don't we go back?”
Meng 'er shook her head." No."
She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong!" The dull sound made the empty mountain village seem deserted.
A few minutes later, the door was opened.
A hunchbacked old woman appeared in front of the two of them. She stared at them with a pair of turbid eyes." You are..." Her voice sounded very old.
"We, we are…"
Meng 'er said," We're looking for Ah Ning.”
The old woman's body trembled, and in an instant, she seemed to have stood up straight. She carefully sized up the two girls and nodded in satisfaction. "Good, all good." Tears welled up in her eyes as she raised her sleeves to wipe her eyes.
Fang Yi felt that the old woman's reaction was a little strange." Is Ah Ning here?"”
"Yes, yes. He is my son." the old woman said with a smile.
Fang Yi was shocked." He's…your son?”
The old woman had white hair and a face full of wrinkles. She looked old enough to be their grandmother. But wasn't Ah Ning a graceful young man? Could it be that he had a son at an old age?
"Yes."
Meng 'er didn't care about this. She only heard that Ah Ning was this person's son. She was ecstatic. Ah Ning was indeed here.
"I want to see Ah Ning." she said impatiently.
"Alright, I'll do it. Come in with me."
The old woman turned around and walked inside. The two girls quickly followed.
The courtyard was very desolate. There was nothing planted in the flower bed. There was only a tall locust tree standing in the west, and its lush branches blocked half of the courtyard.
Why did this courtyard look so gloomy?
Locust tree hides ghosts.
Don't say anymore. It's so scary.
Did you guys notice? There were two white lanterns hanging in front of the house. In our village, after a family member passes away, a white lantern will be hung at the door for three years. So, their family…
Fang Yi felt that the courtyard was very cold as soon as she entered. The temperature seemed to have dropped quite a bit. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and pulled Meng 'er's arm.
"Meng 'er, don't you think this old man looks familiar?" he whispered into her ear.”
Meng 'er thought about it.
She nodded.
Where had he seen her before? Neither of them could remember.
The old woman led them through the corridor and arrived in front of a house. " Ah Ning, it's in here." She pushed the door open.
When they saw what was inside, the two girls were shocked.
This place was completely decorated like a mourning hall.
Under the dim light, there was an incense table in the middle of the room. There was a portrait hanging on the wall. There was a memorial tablet under the portrait. In front of the memorial tablet was an incense burner and a pair of burning red candles.
"This…this is?"
Meng 'er stood rooted to the ground in shock, as if she had suffered a huge blow. Soon, her eyes were filled with tears.
Impossible, this was absolutely impossible.
"This is my son, Ah Ning." The old woman walked to the incense table and raised her hand to touch the portrait on the wall.
The young man in the portrait was very thin, very thin, and plain-looking. There was a big black mole on his nose. This was completely different from the handsome young man in white in Meng 'er's dream.
"No, this isn't Ah Ning.”Meng 'er shook her head.
Fang Yi stared at the portrait and blurted out," This is Chen Ning!”
Chen Ning was their high school classmate, Fang Yi's classmate. This boy's presence in class was usually very low. He was introverted and did not like to talk. He would be jealous when he saw girls.
In the second semester of his second year of high school, he suddenly dropped out of school.
"What is going on?"
At the same time, Ye Ling's voice sounded in their Bluetooth earphones.
"It's the same person. This Chen Ning and the boy in Meng 'er's dream are the same person.”
"But they look completely different.”
"When ghosts enter a dream, they can transform into any appearance.”
So that was the case.
This was too similar to online dating! He wondered what Meng 'er was thinking. He felt that Meng 'er was a little pitiful. This disgusting bachelor, is it okay to deceive others like this?
Too ugly! Sisters, hurry up and run. Don't be love-minded.
This was good too. He was already dead. If he was handsome, he might never forget him.
Her beautiful dream was shattered in an instant!
Meng 'er had fantasized about meeting him in reality too many times, but she never thought that he was a dead man, a dead man she knew. What was worse was that he had deceived her with his appearance.
What…was this?
This was too ridiculous!
He was really speechless!
Meng 'er took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her eyes. He slowly regained his composure while trembling.
The old woman took out a diary from under the incense table and handed it to Meng 'er. "My son wrote this before he passed away.”
Meng 'er opened the diary.
Page by page, article by article, the thick diary was filled with a boy's secret love for a girl. Fanatic, obsessed, even sick.
It was only at this moment that Meng 'er realized how much this boy, whom she did not even remember his name, had liked her during her first and second years of high school.
He even knew all his hobbies, favorite food, favorite movies, and…some habitual actions.
" My son really likes you," the old woman said with a sob." When he was in the terminal stage of cancer, he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep all night. He looked at your photo and persevered.”
"Miss, my son has been with you in his dream for the past year, right? Although my son is a little ugly, he's really a good person.”
"The fact that you can find your way here proves that you like my son too, right?”
"My son said he wants to marry you.”
The old woman held Meng 'er's hand and looked at her with a burning gaze.
"Your son is dead, how can you marry Meng 'er?" Fang Yi asked incredulously.”
"You can have a netherworld marriage. If possible, we can stay here tonight. We can prepare for the wedding tomorrow night.”
"You're crazy!" Fang Yi pulled Meng 'er's hand back.
Meng 'er took a few steps back." I don't agree.”
If it was the boy in her dream, she might hesitate, but she couldn't do it with Chen Ning.
"Didn't you agree to my son's proposal?" the old woman asked excitedly.”
"It's all a lie, isn't it?" Meng 'er looked straight into her eyes." Since you like me, why don't you dare to use your own appearance to meet me? Isn't it cheating to take on someone else's appearance?”
"My son is afraid…afraid that you will think that he is not good-looking. That's why he did this."
"Auntie, I know you love your son dearly, but you can't force love."”
"Sorry, we'll be leaving first.”Then, she grabbed Meng 'er's hand and turned to leave.
The old woman's cold voice came from behind." How can you go back on your word? You can't escape."
When the two of them ran out of the house, their backs were covered in cold sweat.
"This is too terrifying! Are you awake now?" Fang Yi turned to ask Meng 'er.
Meng 'er nodded sadly." I'm awake."”
After they left the village, they took a taxi home.
Fang Yi asked Ye Ling," Fairy Ye, what did Chen Ning's mother mean by that last sentence?" Would Chen Ning still pester Meng 'er?”
Meng 'er's face was pale." Fairy Ye, please help me. I don't want to dream of Chen Ning again."”
Ye Ling's expression was a little heavy." This matter isn't that simple.”
"What do you mean?" Meng 'er asked anxiously.
" You've already agreed to his proposal in your dream," Ye Ling said." If I'm not mistaken, he should be coming over today to deliver the betrothal gifts. Tomorrow morning, he'll bring a team to marry you."”
" What..." Meng 'er was so scared that she collapsed on her seat.
"I…I don't want to marry him." She whimpered.
" Fairy Ye, you must save Meng 'er," Fang Yi said hurriedly." She's still so young. She can't be a wife to a dead man."”
"Don't worry, I have my ways," Ye Ling said confidently.”
This was the outcome of being a love-struck fool. Although we are both women, I don't sympathize with Meng 'er at all. She fell in love with a stranger in her dream and even agreed to his proposal. Hehe…He deserved it!
You couldn't say that. Almost all girls had dreamed of handsome men, right? In their youth, who wouldn't be moved by their dreams?
I also dreamed of a very cool tattooed handsome guy last time. I can't forget him until now.
You girls all like handsome and rich men, right? In her dream, Chen Ning was a handsome man, and she liked him very much. Now that she realized that he was an ugly monster, her expression changed immediately. Why? Was she so ugly that she didn't deserve love?
Was it wrong to like handsome people? Do you like ugly girls?
All of a sudden, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room was filled with quarrels.
Ye Ling glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.
She looked at the two of them seriously and said,"Just do as I say." They will definitely send the betrothal gifts tonight. You don't have to panic. Tomorrow morning, he would go to the owner of the paper shop and make a paper figurine according to Meng 'er's appearance.”
"Tomorrow night, stick Meng 'er's birth characters on the paper figurine. When the bridal procession arrives, Fang Yi will send it to the bridal sedan.”
"This way, the gift is complete."
"The paper figurine will replace Meng 'er as Chen Ning's bride. Chen Ning will live happily with the paper figurine from now on.”
"Is this enough?" Fang Yi asked.
"Yes, that's enough."
"It feels quite simple."
"But since I want you to send the paper figurine into the bridal sedan, you have to prepare a black cloth to cover your eyes." This was because if a person saw a ghost, they would usually fall seriously ill. On the day of the wedding, you will see many ghosts. Covering your eyes with a black cloth will reduce the after-effects.”
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Fang Yi felt her scalp go numb.
"Do I have to send the paper figurine into the palanquin?”
"The best one is, of course, Meng 'er's mother…"
"My mother is in her hometown, and she won't be able to make it here anytime soon. Besides…I don't want her to worry about me."”
She grabbed Fang Yi's hand." Xiao Yi, can you help me? You're my only bestie in school.”
Fang Yi nodded with a bitter smile." I'm really scared of ghosts." But what could he do? Who asked you to be my best friend?"
"Thank you." Meng 'er said gratefully.
Ye Ling said,[Tomorrow night at midnight, during the wedding, you guys will video call me.] With me here, you don't have to be afraid."
Thank you, Fairy Ye."
"You're welcome."
What a good friend! Unlike my best friend, who only knows how to snatch food from me. I'm admiring you!
I feel that Meng 'er is so selfish. She doesn't want her mother to worry, but she wants her best friend to take the risk. What a good green tea! The trouble you caused, but you want your best friend to pay for it.
She's so afraid of ghosts, but she's been accompanying you. First, she accompanied you to the old house, and tomorrow night, she's going to meet the White Ghouls for you. You must treat her well in the future.
I hate Meng 'er too. I hate this kind of woman!
Fang Yi looked at the bullet screen and frowned. She retorted,"Don't you have any best friends? Friends should not help each other. I helped Meng 'er voluntarily, why are you talking about her here?”
We're helping you. You're really treating our good intentions as ill intentions!
You're still happy when you're used as a gun. Do you really lack friends? You've been helping her all this time, and you're even willing to work for her, but what has she done for you? Didn't she enjoy your help from the beginning to the end?
Fang Yi hugged Meng 'er's aggrieved face and raised her voice.""What do you know? Meng 'er and I have known each other since elementary school. We have been friends for ten years, and it's not up to you strangers to gossip about us.”
"When I was in elementary school, my grades were bad and my family was poor. Meng 'er tutored me every day. She bought me breakfast in the morning and gave me half of the food she bought in the cafeteria at noon.”
"When I was in middle school, my parents got a divorce and I almost committed suicide. It was Meng 'er who encouraged me and accompanied me through the most difficult time.”
"Has she never done anything for me? She has done so many things for me, what right do you have to call her green tea here! She has helped me so much. Our relationship is no longer as simple as friendship.”
"This time, she was in danger. Of course, I had no choice but to step forward. Even if my life is in danger, I will not hesitate to help her!”
