The ghost matchmaker was very honest; she was almost eager to tell her life story because she thought that she could be freed. Once I’ve told them everything, they’ll release me, right? Even if they’re not letting me go, I’ll have to work for this kid, right? After all, it makes no difference whether I work for Master Dale or her. I was out for so long, and he didn’t look for me either. But I prefer to work for Master Dale; he’s a reliable man after all.
She slowly said, "My name is Memphis Gutierrez."
The unlucky ghost asked, "Ha, are you sure?" He checked her out and commented, "Your waist is so broad, and your face is under average... You don’t look like a ‘Memphis."
The harem spirit said, "Don’t interrupt her talking!"
The unlucky ghost then said, "Oh, Memphis, please continue."
"I was from X village in X district, and I was dead in the year 2002."
The harem spirit exclaimed, "You’re only dead so recently? I thought you were a ghost from ancient times! Or at least from the 60s or 70s!" All of these spirits felt that the ghost matchmaker had traditional thinking after listening to the passionate ghost, so they all thought that she must be an ancient spirit.
The ghost said, "Ah, that’s great. I’m happy that you’re not the same as me."
The foolish ghost asked in doubt, "Since you’re from the new century, why are you so traditional?"
The ghost matchmaker said after a while, "It doesn’t matter which era you’re from; it’s one’s thinking after all." Pablo and the spirits were amused to hear such a speech from her.
The ghost matchmaker glanced at Lilly and said, "Actually, the X village that I was from wasn’t a very backward place." It was only twenty years ago, and everyone was actually leading a good life; there was no starvation, and the villagers all owned a television in their homes. "I was only fifteen when I got married; everyone got married early back then. I was married and pregnant with a child after graduating from junior high school."
Lilly was not familiar with the legal age to get married; she continued to eat her sweet while the other spirits were all shocked. She even put one in Pablo’s mouth. "I do… don’t…" Eh? It’s actually nice.
