She attended the funeral partly because she didn't want to give people anything to talk about.

The other one also wanted to take Fourth Sister away.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to stay in this house.

Especially that scoundrel Li Laosan, he bullies Si Yatou from time to time.

Li Eldest will definitely make Si Yatou do all the housework for the whole family, make her work in the fields, and won't even let her eat her fill.

The third daughter still remembers that day when she came home from her night shift at the factory. It was already late at night, and she fumbled for the light switch in the dark.

There wasn't even a leftover; the food on her plate was completely eaten, leaving only some vegetable juice.

She struggled to finish a bowl of rice, tears streaming down her face as she ate, accompanied by the leftover vegetable broth.

She, who works away from home and earns money to bring home, receives this kind of treatment.

As for the fourth daughter, it goes without saying how she would be treated. Being beaten and scolded would be the least of her worries. The real fear is that she would be married off to any widowed or single man in town.

"Third sister..." The fourth daughter cried, firmly clutching her third daughter's clothes, "I won't go to school, I want to be a worker too."

"Don't talk nonsense. Reading makes you wise. Only through reading can you change your destiny."

The third daughter looked around and noticed that one of them was missing. "Where's the third son?"

Li Eldest frowned. "He drank quite a bit at the banquet yesterday, he's probably still sleeping."

They all disliked Li Laosan very much, only mentioned him once before changing the subject and never talking about him again.

A group of people arrived at the mourning hall.

The third daughter looked at the white cloth hanging at the entrance of the mourning hall, on which was written a large character for "mourning".

While hanging this in a funeral hall isn't considered unlucky, who would block the entire entrance to their funeral hall?

Li Eldest also saw the white cloth. He thought of Li Second, who had died mysteriously, and figured it was the funeral master performing a ritual. "Maybe those funeral masters have some kind of rule."

The third daughter nodded, not pressing the matter further; she didn't care if he died.

She didn't want to follow any rules or taboos.

On the contrary, she felt extremely relieved, even joyful, about Old Master Li's death.

Li Eldest lifted the white cloth hanging at the door and went inside.

The overwhelming smell of blood made his body stiffen considerably.

He kept muttering to himself, saying something like, "Dad, don't blame me, Dad, may you rest in peace..."

The mourning hall wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either. However, after so many people came in, the space inside still seemed quite cramped.

Only Tang Ping remained in the mourning hall.

He sat on the bench, arms crossed, back straight, eyes closed.

There were many burnt incense sticks and candle remnants in the offering basin next to it, and incense sticks and candles are still burning on the offering basin.

The smell of candles and incense mingled with the stench of blood in the air, and due to poor ventilation, this odor lingered throughout the mourning hall.

It smells terrible.

As soon as the group entered, they gagged a few times from the smell.

"What's that smell? It stinks!"

The fourth daughter pinched her nose and kept fanning herself with her hand.

"Second son, Dad loves you the most. Even when he goes down to the underworld, he won't be able to bear to leave you. He wants you to come with him to be with him... his... third son?"

Li Eldest wanted to howl a few times, but then he saw the tragically dead Li Laosan.

Li Laosan lay in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in death.

Others saw it too.

"What exactly happened?" The third daughter's face was deathly pale. She not only saw the tragically dead Li Laosan, but also Li Second lying there.

Those shiny leather shoes were only affordable for Li Second.

In the funeral hall, which was not usually filled with bright colors, the blood on the floor and altar was the most vibrant red.

Two corpses were placed together with the coffin that was there.

Anyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spine and their hair stand on end.

What happened?

Li Eldest was almost going crazy. He also wanted to know what had happened and why Li Laosan, who should have been sleeping at home after getting drunk, was dead here.

Moreover, compared to Li Second, who appeared to have died by hanging without any external injuries, this was a different story.

Li Laosan's condition clearly indicates that he was murdered.

Li Eldest looked at the burial master who was sitting very calmly and did not stand up to greet them even after hearing their voices.

"Hey, it wasn't your turn to keep watch yesterday. What happened? Why is Li Laosan dead here? Tell me, did you do it?"

"You heartless bastards, I'm calling the police to have you arrested and shot!"

Tang Ping opened his eyes. The NPCs' accusations sounded angry and sad, but he only found them noisy.

"It wasn't me. You all know the person who killed him; it was Li Er's wife."

However, in order to prevent the NPCs from doing anything irrational, Tang Ping still explained.

Although most Dungeon don't have an alarm system, especially paranormal Dungeon, even if an alarm is triggered.

Various unexpected events can occur, such as a broken telephone line preventing calls, snow blocking mountain passes, or mudslides clogging roads.

In short, it's unlikely the police will arrive until the Dungeon is completely finished.

"Li Er's wife? How could that be?" Li Eldest retorted reflexively.

However, seeing the already dead Li Second, it's possible that Li Second's wife couldn't bear the shock and went insane. Then, Li Laosan, who was drunk, said something that provoked Li Second's wife.

Why would she resort to such ruthless killing?

After all, everyone in the Small Town knows what kind of person Li Laosan is.

As the Li Eldest of the family, Li understood even better.

In particular, Li Laosan recently lost a large sum of money gambling and has been pestering Li Second to borrow money, but he never repays it, only promising to lend it to him again later.

Li Er's wife had already been the subject of many arguments with Li Laosan.

Although Li Laosan's death was caused by Li Er's wife, it seems to have nothing to do with the deceased Old Master Li.

But looking at his brothers, who used to be so lively and energetic, now all lying on the ground.

Even with Li Eldest's thick skin, he couldn't help but tremble. "Master... Master... do you think something's not right about this?"

The term for funeral masters has also been changed to a more respectful one.

The third daughter. "What do you mean? You think Dad is trying to kill you?" She scoffed.

As beneficiaries, simply because they are men, they naturally hold the highest position in the family and enjoy all the benefits.

The third daughter didn't believe that the deceased Old Master Li would seek revenge on her son.

If we're talking about taking lives, it's more likely he'd take the lives of his despised daughter-in-law and daughter, wouldn't it?

Since they are all fine and have nothing to do with it, it means that this has little to do with Old Master Li.

"You should really think about what wrong your Li Family has done to deserve this retribution!"
