Chapter 1654: Happy to Help



The Spirit around Farah was her mother who had died of a sickness over 6 years ago. Farah's mother was a doting mother, perhaps one that was far too doting for her own good. Because the connection between the mother and daughter was so good, Farah had taken care of her mother until the end of her life, with no success in saving her.

There may have been ways to save her, had they only been richer, but living in the village, that was not something they had.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Farah's father had apparently died very early on in her life, so when her mother died, she was left all alone.

Grandma Usha had noticed the Spirit very early on and had told her about it, even about the fact that it had been her mother. But without a Spirit Channeler or Spirit Detective, they could not be sure why the spirit was there.

Ning spoke with the Spirit, to ask why it lingered, and he finally got the answer.

She simply wished to see a tree that grew at the back of another one of the houses that they used to live in a long time ago. When asked why she wanted to visit the tree, it turned out that it had been the tree where her first son, an infant who had died of the same disease, had been buried there.

Before she moved on, she wanted to see her son one last time.

Farah gasped in shock, holding her child tightly. She couldn't help but start to sob when she heard about it. She had never known that her mother had another child before her, one that had died long before she was born.

The way her mother had treated her her whole life always stuck out with her, especially given how other mothers treated their children, and now it made sense, finally.

Many of the women in the circle knew about the tragedy apparently. It was just an open secret that they had never bothered speaking about ever again.

Now that Ning revealed this information, they began recalling the horrible day when they found out about the infant's passing away. They too began tearing up, one by one.

"Farah, child, you should leave for today. Go see to your mother," the old woman said and the others reflected her intent. They were all happy to have Farah take a day off and go deal with her issues and feelings.

The Spirit surrounding her was her mother, who had apparently died a while ago. The reason she stayed around was because she regretted the actions she had when she was still alive.

The mother had done things when she was alive that had caused her to burn bridges with her own children, causing many of them to drift apart. That was not what she wanted in the end. She wanted them to be together, but what she had done couldn't be undone. After death, the only thing she truly wanted to see was for all of her children to sit together at a dinner table and watch them laugh as they ate.

That was the woman's only wish.

Ning got another point for telling the information. The woman who heard the information sighed.

"I thought it would be something like this," she said. "I'll try to mend the relationship to the best I can, but it's been so many years, and we're all so..."

She couldn't finish her sentence. She simply shook her head, not a single tear forming on her face. "Thank you for telling me this. I'll make sure to pay what you're worth by the end of the

day."

"You don't have to if you can't," Ning said. "Please pay me only if you can afford to, not because you need to."

The woman smiled. "I'll pay you because that's what you deserve. Thank you, young man."

Ning couldn't help but smile as well.

"Alright, that's enough resting for now. There's no one else with a Spirit, and the ones who have it can be told later," the old woman said.

"For now, we need to work."

Everyone got up at once, moving to the fields behind the house. This was where they would be working for the rest of the day.
