Chapter 352 - Chapter 352: Chapter 345 Tang Wenhаn’s Status Skyrockets_1 (2/2)

Helping his father-in-law’s family to become stronger, even the entire Tang Family Clan to become stronger, that was something he was happy to see.

His gaze fell again on the blood fog on the inner wall at the bottom of the well.

It seemed to have become a lot more active, constantly changing.

One could faintly discern its true form, and astonishingly, it was another Blood Spider. Its size was much smaller than the child spiders’, which was quite surprising.

Usually, the female spiders are larger than the male spiders.

This results in each courtship being extremely dangerous for the male spiders, as they might accidentally get killed by the females.

The notorious Black Widow is an expert at killing its ‘husband’.

In the hearts of most spiders, there has never been a concept of ‘husband and wife’.

All they care about is reproducing a superior next generation.

The movement of this maternal Gu was a good sign.

It meant that it was either planning to escape or was releasing some sort of signal, trying to summon the child Gu over.

He waited patiently.

However, the presence of many people in the backyard might startle the child Gu, causing it not to dare show up or even attack them.

Neither situation was good.

“Father-in-law, do you think it’s possible to move the body to the front hall first? Let’s try to keep people out of the backyard as much as possible. He Saixiang died a wrongful death, her spirit is heavy with malevolence, and this well is the place of her extreme misfortune. Whoever she latches onto might become a scapegoat.”

Qin Niu didn’t believe in these ghostly talks in his heart.

But now, using the three words ‘scapegoat’ was sure to drive all the villagers away efficiently.

“Master Qin makes a lot of sense. Please help move my daughter’s body to the front hall. I have prepared a wooden coffin for myself, which will now have to be used for my daughter first.”

He Saixiang’s mother was a woman who feared death.

Hearing Qin Niu say her daughter might look for a scapegoat, she turned pale with fright.

Such heartlessness.

Her husband had passed away early, and now that her daughter was dead, she cried sorrowfully, but from some of her actions, it seemed she didn’t care about her daughter’s death as much as one might expect.

On the contrary, she cared more about her own life.

“You two, carry the body to the front hall.”

Tang Wenhan assigned two men.

One was around fifty years old, the other in his thirties.

“Uncle Wenhan, carrying a corpse is extremely unlucky. Especially one that died young like this—it’s even more unlucky. I can’t do this job, you’ll have to find someone else!”

The man in his thirties refused to carry the corpse.

“To carry such a corpse, it’s usually customary to give some lucky money to offset the bad luck.”

The fifty-year-old man was much more smooth-talking.

With the promise of a reward, carrying a corpse wasn’t really something that many people would be afraid of.

“Mrs. He, if you don’t offer some lucky money, nobody will be willing to carry it!”

“I will definitely thank you later, just help move it for now!”

She pleaded while wiping away her tears.

This woman was indeed stingy to the core.

Even with the talk going this far, she still couldn’t bear to part with that lucky money.

“Fine, I think it’s cheapest for Mrs. Mo herself to move the corpse. After all, she is He Saixiang’s mother; surely, Saixiang wouldn’t harm her own mother, right?”

Expecting not to spend a penny and have the villagers carry her daughter’s corpse, how could that be possible?

Everyone was just giving her face, thinking she was pitiable because her daughter had died, which is why they were willing to help out of their own accord.

“Here, I’ll give the money, all right? Ten Wen Money per person who carries the body.”

The moment she heard she might have to move the body herself, she was so scared she almost wet herself, and immediately agreed to pay.

And the amount she offered was not low.
