Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 296 They’re All Foolish

Lilly and Josh looked at Claire in unison.

Claire was silent as she hugged her husband’s neck tightly.

Her husband was speechless immediately, “Let go of me!”

Lilly and Josh whispered, “How do we get her to her original home?”

Josh asked. “Is it her parents‘ house?”

Lilly nodded, “Yeah! Tortoise said that the ghost is at her parent’s house,”

Josh yawned, “Well… how about we make an excuse to have tea at her house because we’re tired?”

Lilly frowned, “What if they said no?”

It isn’t our home after all!

Blake did not change his expression and said calmly, “I think you should go to her parent’s house for a

drink first. I think the car is out of petrol.”

Claire’s husband was about to say something but kept quiet.

He felt that what Blake said made sense, but he also felt that his hands and feet were cold for some

reason.

Lilly and Josh immediately looked at Blake with admiration.

Uncle Blake is so amazing!

Claire’s husband thought for a while and said. “Then… let’s go to my father–in–law’s house first!” He

seemed reluctant.

They were close to Claire’s parents‘ house. They parked the car and walked to the community.

Lilly asked strangely, “You don’t seem willing to go to your wife’s house, sir,”

Claire’s husband was silent and Claire responded, “He doesn’t like to visit my parents‘ house in the first

place,”

Her husband’s family was far away from them. She would drive for miles to his hometown to visit his.

family every Chinese New Year, National Day, and Festivals without any complaints.

However, her parents‘ house was less than a ten–minute drive away from theirs, and he refused to visit

them during the holidays.

She would bring gifts to her in–laws, cook, feed the chickens, help with chores, and so on.

However, her husband could not do the same. Every time he visited Claire’s parents, he would just

bring one dish. He would also sit alone and play with his phone when he got there.

Claire’s husband sneered, “Why would I need to visit your family? To hear how you should spend your

money on them?”

Claire was annoyed, “Don’t be too much. Why didn’t you ever disagree with my parents‘ view?”

She had to take care of both sides.

He wanted her to break free from her parents, and to settle things with her brother, but he never stood

by her side. If she could not handle it well, he would mock her when she came home.

Claire’s husband replied, “It’s your family, why should I interfere with your business? I don’t wanna get

involved with your family’s affairs,”

“You’re an adult, Claire. You should solve it yourself, can’t you settle your problems?”

Claire was speechless.

She said angrily. “Put me down!”

Claire’s husband ignored her.

Lilly watched the two quarrel and her head was full of doubts.

“Josh, is this what people call a poison tongue?” She asked in a low voice.

Josh asked nodded. “Yeah, I think so,”

Lilly sighed, her face turned serious, and she furrowed her eyebrows

She said, “Sir, I don’t think you are right,”

“Although you understand the truth, you’re unwilling to reason with her,”

“You don’t wanna get yourself involved and you’re unhappy, but you don’t even talk about what’s

making you mad. You know that Miss is confused and you only blamed her for everything.”

Although Lilly did not know why adults were so weird, she also did not know if it was right for them to

do

1. SO.

Lilly was only voicing out her thoughts. She thought that the couple should solve things together.

They should be just like Grandpa and Grandma. Grandpa would be mad at Grandma, but Grandpa is

hard–spoken and has a soft heart, and helps Grandma get things done.

Since the man knew that she was confused? Why did he do nothing about it?

Claire’s husband choked.

He was speechless.

He muttered, “I don’t want to deal with these annoying things that would affect my mood,”

Claire bit her lips and remained silent.

Lilly did not bother to speak anymore. She lay on Blake’s shoulder and asked, “Daddy, who do you

think is right?”

Blake replied. “They’re all wrong.”

He found that two–thirds of Claire’s income was spent on her parents and brother because she felt that

her husband was not short of money, and it was her duty to help her parents and brothers since she

was

capable of doing so.

Claire’s husband felt upset, but he did not tell his parents–in–law about this and fought with Claire.

No one solved the problem, so they blamed it on each other.

Everyone stopped talking, they entered the community and went to Claire’s parents‘ house.

Claire’s parents and Ken had not gotten up. Claire would usually get groceries and make breakfast at

this hour.

Claire felt better when she got home. She struggled to stand up and said in a muffled voice, “I’m going

to boil the water.”

Claire’s husband thought for a while, and followed her into the kitchen. After a while, they quarreled

again.

Lilly sat obediently on the sofa and stared at the door.

“Hello, ghost… Come out, come out wherever you are…” Lilly muttered.

Josh asked, “Is this effective? Didn’t you say it was an evil spirit? Can you defeat it?”

Lilly thought for a while and said, “You’re right, Josh,”

In the next moment, the unlucky ghost, cowardly ghost, and the harem spirit were thrown out.

“What’s the matter? Do you still have to work part–time during the Ghost Festival?” the harem spirit

asked.

The unlucky ghost frowned, “I’m not working“”

Cowardly ghost added, “It’s fine…”

Lilly pointed to a door, “Hello friends, can you help me catch that ghost? I just need you to drag him

out.”

Lily looked at the three evil spirits innocently, and asked.

The harem spirit and unlucky ghost were silent. It did not want to help her, but Lilly called them her

friend.

The cowardly ghost’s eyes were gentle, “Okay, I’ll help you as long as I’m able to,”

The foolish ghost was absorbing the aura from the old man.

Suddenly it felt something amiss, and when he raised his head, he saw three evil spirits appearing at

the door, staring at him menacingly.

The cowardly ghost asked, “What kind of ghost is this?”

harem spirit replied, “Based on my experience in ghost hunting, it’s probably a foolish ghost,”

The unlucky ghost added, “You guys go ahead, I’ll deal with him after,”

The foolish ghost was confused.

He looked around strangely, and asked, “What’s the matter, do you guys want to have a bite too?”

The harem spirit was the first to pounce on it and shouted, “Get over here!”

The cowardly ghost followed, he was about to pounce on him but hesitated. He gained courage when

he thought of Lilly calling him her friend. He then bit the foolish ghost’s arm.

The foolish ghost was puzzled.

Were these evil spirits here to catch him?

They were all ghosts, but why would they want to catch him?

He struggled and his evil spirit soared.

The old man who was sleeping soundly was hit by the evil spirit and coughed violently. He felt that his

neck was being strangled and could not breathe.
