Crawford family mansion.
Zachary laid on the sofa. He looked outside boredly, then turned to look at the turtle in his hand.
"It's so boring..." He turned the tortoise upside down on the table and turned it around.
Polly stood on the banister of the stairs, flapping its wings and quacking, "Hey! Bald donkey! Grandpa is here! Catch me if you can! Quack! What's the deal with catching a turtle!"
Zachary cast a glance at this fully fledged, green parrot.
"You have wings, so I can't catch you," Zachary said, "Otherwise, I would have already plucked all your hair!"
Polly squeaked and flew outside, "Stupid, I'm a male, I'm a male!"
Zachary, "..."
Josh, who was tinkering with a fishing net, laughed loudly, "Zachary, is there something wrong with you that you want to strip a bird naked?"
Zachary was furious, "I'm talking about plucking all its feathers off, not stripping!"
Josh looked up at him quietly, and said lightly, "It's rare that you are not playing games. Are you waiting for Lilly?"
After a pause, he added, "Do you have to?"
There would always be a sound when Lilly came back, so there was no need for them to stretch their necks here waiting.
Zachary was seen through, and snorted, "I'm bored in the room, can't I come out and play with the tortoise?"
Josh sneered.
Josh asked Josh, "Aren't you waiting too?"
Josh did not raise his head, "I've been sitting here reading a book all this time, who's waiting?"
Hannah grabbed a chicken leg and ran out of the kitchen, "Ah? What are you talking about? Is Lilly back?"
Zachary rolled her eyes, "Your hearing is close to half-deaf."
Hannah turned around and ran out again, "I calculated it, Lilly is coming back!"
She learned this sentence from Lilly. Of course, Hannah did not know how to make calculations.
However, as soon as she ran across the lawn, she saw a few cars driving outside. It was Lilly who really came back!
As soon as Lilly got out of the car, the first thing she saw was Polly who rushed towards her, "Help! Somebody is trying to strip me naked!"
Immediately after, a chicken leg was thrown into its mouth, "Here, here you go, eat!"
Lilly looked dazed.
Before she could even react, the bird stood on her head, with an extra chicken leg in its mouth.
Lilly subconsciously picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, "Wow, it's really delicious!"
Hannah proudly said, "That's right, I baked it with salt!"
Zachary pretended to chase Polly, and ran out, "You stupid parrot, stop... Hey, Lilly, you're back!"
Lilly, "Well, what are you doing, brother?"
Zachary pointed to Polly on her head, "I'm grabbing it."
The children Lilly, Hannah, and Zachary chatted immediately.
Lilly did not know what to say, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow me!"
The little girl now had two more little followers, and these two little followers were her older brothers and sisters...
The three of them ran to the main building in a hurry.
Josh put one hand in his pocket, walked out very "reservedly", and was about to speak.
However, Jean dashed in, and sighed, "Ah... it's better to be at home!"
She saw Josh, she even stroked his hair, "Hi, little Josh!"
She rubbed his hair while talking.
Then she passed through his face and flew inside.
Josh, "!!"
Jean's hands felt like ice, fog, and knives, he could not help but shiver.
Help!
The dead aunt suddenly attacked me!
Bettany was discharged from the hospital, the house was full of joy, and the smell of white-cut chicken could be smelled everywhere.
Jean, "Hey, there are more!"
She then finished it again.
Lilly's face was somewhat tangled, and she pinched her fingers to count secretly.
Mom needed to eat a chicken for each meal, that was at least 200 dollars a day, for a month, that would be… For a year, that would be...
Ah, she could not afford to support her mother more and more!
Seeing that Jean had "eaten" everything that could be eaten, Lilly opened her wallet in pain, and there were only two hundred dollars left!
Other ghosts could only eat food when people perform the necessary rituals, or they did not even get to eat for a year.
Whereas her mother... Boo-hoo, it was so hard to support her financially...
The adults chatted about something at the dinner table. It was roughly about a friend's father who was hospitalized. Anthony would go to see him after he was discharged from the hospital. Anthony said that it was enough for him to represent the Crawford family. There must be so many people...
Looking back, Lilly stared at him eagerly and said, "Uncle, I'm going too."
Anthony wanted to refuse, but he said in one word, "Okay."
For Lilly, there was really no principle at all...
**
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Bettany went for acupuncture again.
Not sure if it was her illusion, but she always felt that this acupuncture was more painful than last time.
However, Lilly said it was normal, so she had no choice but not to ask.
On the fourth day, Lilly continued acupuncture, and the silver needles seemed to emit a cold light in the sunlight.
Bettany finally knew how to be afraid—these days of acupuncture, her legs became more and more useless. She could stand up initially, but now she could only lie on the bed, her whole body hurt.
Lilly also seemed to be struggling, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her little face was flushed.
"Lilly, if it doesn't work, let's forget about it?"
Lilly raised her head immediately, "No? Who says I can't? Stand out now!"
Bettany, "..."
