Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Alex held Amelias hand, a gentleness hidden in his eyes. Unknowingly, the Walton family had become his second home. He was used to being alone. He didnt expect to have an obedient daughter and a warm family.

At the dining table, William looked at the table full of duck meat and asked curiously, Sister, why do you kill ducks but not chickens during the Ghost Festival?

Amelia said as she ate the duck soup noodles, Because theres a Bridge of Helplessness in the netherworld, there are 3,000 meters of water under the bridge. Chickens dont know how to swim! If we use chickens as tributes, the wealth we brought to the ancestors cant be sent over there! Therefore, in the Hungry Ghost Festival, we kill ducks instead of chickens.

William was enlightened. Is there a taboo during the Ghost Festival? Can we go out at night?

Amelia looked at William in surprise. Why was her brother still thinking of going out at night?

There are many taboos during the Ghost Festival! Amelia counted with her fingers. Its best not to go out at night, but if you go out, you cant shout and call someone elses name, lest you be remembered by wandering ghosts.

Secondly, you cant wear clothes with your name embroidered on them. Thirdly, dont pat someones shoulder. If youre patted on the shoulder, dont turn around. If you hear someone calling you from behind, dont answer.

Emma interrupted, If I dont turn around, then what 1 can jump up like a zombie and turn around. Can you scare the ghosts to death?

Amelia gave her a thumbs up. Sister Emma is amazing!

William sneered. Youll be scared to death by a ghost. After a pause, he suddenly thought of the super long reflex arc of Harper and Emma. Forget it, even if they suddenly turned around and saw a ghost, the two of them would probably stand calmly and stare at the ghost. Even a ghost would roll its eyes!

And? William asked.

Amelia said, Dont sit where you shouldnt in your red underwear.

William: Such as?

Amelia: Like someone elses grave! As she spoke, she took a big bite of the duck leg. Grandmas duck leg was delicious!

William muttered, Who would sit on someone elses grave However, Emma opened her mouth in a daze. She was tired from playing today and seemed to have casually sat on a rock. That shouldnt be someone elses grave, right? She quickly stole a look at her underwear. Fortunately, she wasnt wearing red underwear!

And? Emma asked.

Amelia said, Then you cant take photos. Be careful not to take photos of the ghosts outside. They will follow you back! Dont steal the tributes and fight with the ghosts for food. Be careful not to attract bad luck. You cant step on them or burn the ghost paper

Amelia spoke a lot, and William could not help but click his tongue. He had no idea that there were so many other explanations. Emma, on the other hand, had a headache. Who could remember so many rules!

On the other side, the Way family was also eating, but the atmosphere was very oppressive. When the Old Master of the Way family heard that there was no cemetery, he pursed his lips and pulled a long face.

Lull couldnt eat anymore. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, Dad, dont think too much. Its not that its uncertain Before she could finish speaking, Mr. Way waved his hand. Sigh, why are you talking about this? Lets not talk about it. After saying that, he muttered to himself, l dont have many days left to live. If I die, so be it. If I die, everything will be for nothing. The most important thing is still you. You have to live. Im fine. Just find a place to bury me.

Lull was speechless. Originally, no one would discuss this kind of thing. Which family would discuss which cemetery to buy when their relatives were about to die of illness? In the end, it was all because Mr. Way came back one day with a cemetery publicity leaflet. To put it nicely, their familys choice of cemetery was open. They did not taboo life and death and looked down on everything. But was their family really like this? Lull felt an indescribable suffocation.

Mr. Way put down his chopsticks and said, Im full. Take your time. With that, he stood up shakily and returned to his room.

Seeing the door close, Gran completely exploded. Sister! Why do you have to make Dad feel so uncomfortable? Dad is already like this. I dont know how long he can last. Cant you go along with him? Yes, Im the one whos useless. I can only earn 4,000 yuan a month. I dont even have the money to buy a cemetery for Dad.. If I had it, I would definitely not say a word and immediately satisfy Dads wis.h.!.+ Sister! Youre too selfis.h.!.+
