Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Amelia remembered that in the television dramas she had seen, when they got married, they would solemnly swear that they would be loyal to each other and respect each other. No matter if they were poor or sick, they would never leave each other. Therefore, they would not fool around outside and get involved with other women. This was something that men should do. How did it become a good quality?

Amelia felt that she was still too young to understand the logic in the eyes of the adults. She shook her head and looked at Ashley seriously. “Auntie, Mia helped you get rid of your bad luck today. I hope Auntie will be braver in the future! If you don’t like something, you have to bring it up and reject it bravely!’

Ashley looked at Amelia in a daze. She felt that she couldn’t even compare to a child. Sometimes, she wanted to say no loudly and fight without caring about anything. However, in the world of adults, how could she be so willful? She was afraid that arguing would affect her child, and she was also afraid that arguing would affect her mood and make a fool of herself. Most importantly, she didn’t want to affect her work and her money. There was once when she quarreled with her husband, but she couldn’t write a word for three days. Therefore, arguing was useless. She just had to endure it.

Ashley kept nagging and complaining, but her eyes gradually became lifeless, like an unconscious wooden person.

Elmer retracted his hand and said to Amelia, “That i s enough. Hurry up and subdue the ghost.” He could not take it anymore! With that, he chanted an incantation and asked Amelia to learn from him.

Amelia imitated loudly, “Heaven and earth, evil creature, show yourself!”

George: “???” At this moment, he suddenly saw another person on Ashley’s shoulder! He was shocked, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing. It was as if he had imagined it just now.

Amelia’s gaze shifted from Ashley’s face to the cowardly ghost on her shoulder. She imitated Elmer and asked seriously, “What’s your name? When and where were you born?”

The cowardly ghost said hesitantly, “My name is Joe Brown…”

Amelia suddenly raised the Soul-Retrieving Gourd and shouted, “Joe Brown, do you dare to acknowledge my call?”

Elmer: “…”

George: “…”

Joe: “…”

Elmer covered his face. “Mia, who taught you this move? I didn’t teach you this method to capture ghosts, right?”

Amelia blinked. “I see it in television dramas. Master, is there a problem?

Elmer’s mouth twitched. “No problem.” But which fool would follow you in just because you called out?

As expected, the cowardly Joe was still lying on Ashley’s shoulder, looking at Amelia as if she were a retard. “Do you take me for a fool?”

Amelia put down the Soul-Retrieving Gourd innocently. “Alright, I’m sorry.”

Joe’s words were stuck. Amelia asked again, “Then, Brother Joe, how did you die?” Her big eyes were bright as if she was asking seriously and did not treat him as a ghost.

Joe was silent for a long time before saying, “I was beaten to death.”

Elmer thought that Joe would not say the cause of death, but who knew that he would confess everything after a moment of silence!

Joe: “When I was 14 years old, my parents moved. I also transferred to a junior high school…” This junior high school was not a key school. It was very chaotic inside. Joe was quiet and did not like to talk. He also did not like to play with his classmates. As time passed, his male classmates felt that he did not fit in and began to ostracize him.

Joe: “In the beginning, when I was walking in the corridor, I would hear the boos of the other students. Later, they started to push me… My textbooks were thrown out of the window, and there were often dead animal corpses in the drawers, such as frogs, insects, snakes, and so on. They liked to see me scream. Later, when I was beaten, it was run of the mill, par for the course. Whether they were happy or not, they would beat me up..”

Amelia: “Then didn’t you tell the teacher?”

Joe: “I did, but the teacher said that it takes two to tango. Why did my classmates bully me instead of others? Let me reflect on my own reasons.”

Amelia was speechless. She was stunned. So some teachers were bad too, just like the French teacher in Brother William’s school… She asked again, “Then didn’t you tell your parents?” He had been bullied so many times, but he didn’t tell her parents?

Joe did not say anything and only shook his head..
