Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1031

"Did you starve to death too?" Lilly asked.

The Holy Mother Ghost sighed, "I was lucky and I survived." She then said, "My biggest regret was not giving my parents a formal burial. Their bodies were merely covered with mats." She continued to say, "I managed to get a teaching job through my parents’ connection later on." She survived on that job. At least she could afford some food.

Josh felt strange, and he asked, "Then, did you continue to help the victims?" She said that she fought for the food to survive so she could help out more victims. I’ll salute her if she really did it. But I don’t think she did.

The ghost answered, "I was having a hard time, so I can’t help out more people."

Josh looked at her and said, "But didn’t you have a job?" He said, "Aren’t you kind? Why didn’t you use half of your salary to save others?" She could have done it, but she had to suffer with others. And she could have survived with one meal per day; she could have donated two meals to others. He was not trying to force her, but he knew that she would not help when she was affected.

She stuttered, "I was in the city... and everywhere was dangerous. I could not go out." Josh sneered and thought, It sounds like she’s holy, but she’s very selfish indeed. Everyone respected her for being their savior, but she sacrificed her parents for it. Once she was poor and alone, she was not willing to save people, realizing she herself was struggling. "How did you die?" Josh asked. He thought that she died starving to save others. But it did not seem to be the case.

She continued to say, "Everything settled down, and the town was livelier after years." People around her got married, and she was lonely, so she was finding her other half. "I was pretty famous for spending all my fortune to save the people." She managed to get a good man by being famous. Her husband was pretty dumb, because smart men would never marry her. She was someone who sacrificed her family just to save others.

"I felt happy in my marriage. But my neighbor was a lonely woman." Hence, she started to play matchmaker out of kindness. And she introduced her to a hawker. "I felt that this man was pretty decent." Her neighbor thought that the man was a businessman, but he turned out to be a hawker. She was not willing to be with him. But the ghost felt that he was a great man. She heard from him that he was all alone after his family died from the drought. "No one looked after him when he was sick."

"There was a time he was beaten up by the gangsters... I went to take care of him."

The harem spirit asked, "Wasn’t your husband jealous?"

She answered, "No, I was just helping out." My husband even helped buy him medicine.

Lilly and Josh exchanged looks. "So, you thought that he was pitiful and introduced him to your neighbor?" She looked regretful all of a sudden. Her neighbor did not accept the man, but she helped him pursue her.

"One day, my neighbor was crying when she and that man came out of her house." She did not think much and was happy for them. "I only found out that the man assaulted her... She had no choice but to marry him." But the ghost did not tell them that the man threatened her neighbor with ruining her reputation if she did not marry him. She did not want the others to think that she was bad at identifying good people.

"They started to fight after they got married, after some time." And that hawker started to physically abuse her neighbor. "She was terrified of being hit." She said, "And she asked for my help. But, what could I do?" It was embarrassing to divorce back then. "So I tried to convince her to stay. There’s no man that didn’t hit their wives."

"But she glared at me and asked me to give my husband to her!"
