After my dad finished playing cards and came back to find my sister dead, he didn't say anything. He just lit a cigarette and sat on the doorstep smoking.

"Her dad, don't just smoke. Say something, what should we do next?"

"What should we do? What else can I do? Bring her back to life? She's dead, just bury her!"

My mom gave my dad a scornful look, "Just bury her like that, I haven't even earned back the dowry! It's really a sin!"

As soon as my mom finished speaking, a man passed by our house.

"Isn't this Jiajun? I know you just got divorced, feeling lonely for sure. Come play with my eldest daughter, I'll give you a discount!"

My mom's eyes lit up when she saw the man passing by, almost wanting to pull him into my sister's room immediately.

The man heard my mom call him and got scared, he ran away in a hurry. While running, he even scolded my mom a few words, "I think you want to kill me! Everyone in the village knows that your eldest daughter hanged herself in a red dress! She's going to come back as a vengeful ghost!"

"You young man, why do you still believe in these things! Seriously? Eldest daughter just died, her body is still warm, what's there to be afraid of!"

My mom said to the man's retreating back with a strange tone, then she turned around and spat, "Pui! Coward."

"What vengeful ghost, I fed her well for eighteen years, haven't earned back any money, she still has the face to die. What an ungrateful wolf! If she dares to come back as a vengeful ghost, I'll tie her up and let her continue to serve customers!"

My mom cursed at my sister's body, kicked her a few times, then grabbed an old mat and threw it to me:

"Wrap your sister in it and throw her into the cave behind the hill."

I didn't dare to disobey my mom's orders, so I quickly picked up the mat and wrapped my sister in it, then carried her and ran towards the hill.

The cave was deep and bottomless, people in the village often threw dead livestock and garbage into it. I stood at the cave entrance, peeking inside.

The dark cave entrance looked like a monster's big mouth, occasionally emitting a cold breeze. I shuddered, not daring to continue looking inside. Just as I was about to throw my sister inside, I found that I couldn't shake off the body carried on my shoulders.

At that moment, I felt sweat pouring down my face non-stop, unable to distinguish whether it was from exhaustion or being scared, "Sister, I didn't mean to harm you, grievances have causes, if you have any grudges, go after mom and dad!"

Just as I finished my confession, a man's voice came from behind.

"Don't be afraid, your sister hasn't turned into a zombie yet. I stopped you from throwing her down to prevent it. You must not dispose of your sister's body casually."

Hearing the man's words, I breathed a sigh of relief, placed my sister on the ground, and turned around to scold him, "Why couldn't you speak first when you have something to say? You almost scared me to death!"

Standing behind me was a middle-aged man dressed in Taoist attire, upon hearing my scolding, he didn't apologize but instead stared solemnly at my sister's body.

"Your sister hung herself in a red dress, with heavy resentment in her death. She wants to harm your entire family, quickly take her back, I have a way to calm her down."

I understood this type of charlatan, just trying to extort money, "I dare not take her back, my mom told me to throw her away. If I bring her back now, I'll get beaten."

Seeing that I didn't believe him, he said, "Do you want to know why your whole village favors sons over daughters, but your parents favor daughters over sons? Listen to me, carry your sister back, then you'll understand why your parents favored your sister."
