Chapter 25
Jiang Yao did not tell Shen Yu everything.

In fact, when she was seven years old, shortly after her younger brother disappeared, her adoptive mother wanted to give her to someone else to raise her. After they got in touch, she also got into the car, but was finally chased back by her grandfather.

From then on, grandpa brought her to his side, saying that his adoptive mother would not raise her, but him.

[When I was eight years old, my sister was born. 】

[She had a high fever when she was two months old, which almost killed her. 】

【I knelt in front of the temple gate in the village for a long time, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless her to grow up safely. Fortunately, she survived in the end. 】

[After that happened, I stayed on the mountain for three days before Grandpa found me. 】

[It turned out that the gang of bad boys in the village deliberately threw my shoes by the river. My grandfather thought I fell into the river and drowned. "

[Fortunately, I was discovered by someone. After being rescued, I slept at home for two days, and when I woke up, I found... I was speechless. 】

Speaking of this, Jiang Yao was silent for a while, then raised her lips and smiled at Shen Yu.

[But it was a blessing in disguise, and I found that my adoptive mother's attitude towards me has changed. 】

【She didn't let me touch my sister before, but since I came back from the mountain, she started letting me play with her. 】

[But when I was ten years old... my adoptive father had a sudden heart attack, and the conditions at home were limited, so he couldn't afford medical care, so he could only be raised at home. 】

[My adoptive father fell down, and my grandfather was short of help, so I took my adoptive father's place and started to follow my grandfather to pick up the corpse. 】

【It’s funny to say that, the people who bullied me at the beginning really avoided me after seeing me. After all, I deal with dead people every day, so they might think it’s bad luck. 】

After Jiang Yao finished speaking, she poured herself another glass of wine.

The alcohol content of the red wine is not high, and it is very boring to drink. It would be fine to drink white wine, she really wants to get drunk.

Shen Yu is a cold-hearted person, and he is not particularly close to the members of the Shen family.

But the little girl in front of him made him feel a little distressed.

"Filling corpses is not something that ordinary people can do, aren't you afraid?"

Jiang Yao smiled, with a bit of bitterness in her smile.

【Scared, but grandpa needs help. 】

[The loss of a labor force in the family will make the life of the Jiang family not well-to-do worse. If grandpa loses this job, then the family should drink the northwest wind. 】

[But grandpa told me that there is nothing to be afraid of the dead. 】

[There are no ghosts and gods in this world. Even if there were, we would be able to sit upright, and 'they' would only scare us away when they saw us. 】

【After half a year of fishing for corpses with my grandfather, I gradually got used to it. 】

【Once, grandpa was drowning. After I found out, I dived into the water and dragged him ashore. Do you know what the first words he said to me after he got ashore? 】

Shen Yu asked: "What did you say?"

Jiang Yao gestured excitedly.

【He said, Yao Ni, today was the day of grandpa's death, and you saved his life. You see, you are not a broom star at all, you are the little lucky star of our Jiang family. 】

Jiang Yao's eyes turned red, and she shed tears again. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and then poured herself another glass of wine.

Shen Yu didn't stop her either, but just said something to her.

"Only incompetent people make excuses for their own mistakes. Others' troubles have nothing to do with you."

"We've known each other for half a year now. Look at me... I'm in good health and my work is going well. Doesn't it look like bad luck?"

Jiang Yao burst into laughter immediately after hearing this.

[You are so kind, you are the best person to me besides my grandfather and biological mother. 】
