When Wade returned in the afternoon, he remembered that his sister and brother-in-law had brought home two dogs, but one had died, apparently hit by a car.

His sister had planned to bury the dead dog directly in the small grove in the backyard, but their grandmother was concerned that the decaying body would produce an odor.

In the past, it was not a big deal, but now that they had a delicate little granddaughter, everything was a concern.

They were also worried that Susie might go over to play and smell the body, or that Melina might dig a hole and get infected with some virus.

Even if they took precautions, there was still a risk that Alex, who was mischievous, might bring back some fur or skin.

What if he transmitted it to Susie?

Grandpa said that they had never been so particular before, and Grandma said that it was because they never had a child in the house before.

Wade immediately protested, "But they are kids!"

However, Grandma retorted, "Hamza, Wade, and Lucy are boys, so they have thick skin.

Although Susie is a girl, she also has thick skin.

Delia is different, she is delicate.

What if she gets sick?"

In the end, he and his brother and sister agreed that there was some logic to their grandmother's argument.

So, their brother-in-law took the dogs to be cremated and said that he would bring them back after the process.

"Sister, have you dug a hole for the dog in the small grove behind the house? I'll help you dig!" Wade offered.

But Susie, who was absorbed in watching videos, waved her hand dismissively and said, "No need, Dad will dig it. He's so good that he can dig a hole with one shovel."

Wade felt a little unhappy at the bottom of his heart. Did that mean he wasn't good enough?

"No, I have to dig this hole myself!" Wade declared as he ran out of the house.

"Hey?" Susie temporarily put down her phone and followed him outside.

Lucy's door was half-open, and suddenly she poked her head out and exclaimed, "What? You want to dig a hole? I'm coming too!"

Without waiting for Hamza to notice, Lucy sprinted down the stairs at breakneck speed!

"You stop right there!" Hamza shouted.

But Lucy ran even faster.

Kellen was holding an urn and had just entered the house when he was about to call out to Susie.

However, he saw Wade, Lucy, and Susie rushing down the stairs from upstairs.

He quickly opened his arms, but Wade and Lucy couldn't stop in time and crashed into Kellen's embrace, one on the left and one on the right.

Kellen caught them, but then Susie came running towards him.

He immediately threw Lucy and Wade aside... and caught Susie.

Lucy and Wade grimaced as they fell to the ground.

"Brother-in-law, give me the urn!" Wade grabbed the urn and ran away.

Lucy followed closely behind, shouting, "Ada! Where's the hoe and shovel? Give them to me too!"

And trailing at the end was Hamza, thinking to himself, "Are they being childish?"

Megan, who had just come out of her room upon hearing the commotion, muttered, "Was all that really necessary?"

In the small grove of the Murray family's backyard,

Wade, Lucy, Megan, and Hamza each held a shovel.

Wade and Lucy dug very quickly.

Megan felt speechless, what was there to compete for?

But after joining, she suddenly realized how could she lose??

As someone so good at catching ghosts, she would actually lose at digging a hole?

That was unacceptable!

So, Megan dug faster and faster.

Only Hamza stood coldly on the side. He wouldn't do something so undignified and wouldn't compromise his principles!

Mrs. Alana was very speechless, "If I had known you all liked digging so much, I would have let you dig in the vegetable garden behind me."

Fortunately, she didn't give them any hoes.

Otherwise, with this enthusiasm, they might have smashed each other's heads.

Susie was holding the ashes of her dog in a box and had been amazed for a long time.

"Wow... big brothers and sisters are so awesome!" she exclaimed, "Keep it up~ Keep it up~"

Susie quickly rummaged through her pocket.

She happened to have four candies in her pocket.

Later, Wade would get one, Lucy would get one, Megan would get one, and the rest would be hers!

Hamza glanced at the candy in Susie's hand.

Oh well, since these idiots can't even dig a proper hole, he'll have to do it himself.

Hamza joined the battle.

Everyone remained silent.

Susie looked at the candy in her hand... oh well, she won't eat it, she'll give it to big brother Hamza~

Soon, the hole was dug.

Susie put the ashes of her dog in the hole, and the stray dog seemed to know that the box in front of him contained his companion, and silently lay down by the edge of the hole, looking at the ashes in the box.

Ada brought a bowl of white rice as Susie requested, and also held some incense and paper money.

The hole was filled, and a small mound of dirt emerged on the previously level grassy ground.

Susie placed the rice in front of the mound, inserted three sticks of incense, and lit a piece of paper money.

"Be good and reincarnate, okay!"

Mrs. Alana just thought the children were softhearted.

She looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back when you're done, okay? It's too sunny at noon."

Mrs. Alana felt dizzy from the sun and went back first.

Wade asked, "Sister, why do we need to burn paper money for dogs too?"

Building a tomb and burning incense for dogs... never heard of that before.

Susie explained, "When they are reincarnated, they don't have household registration, name, or birthdate, so they can't be reborn as humans. That's why after dogs die, they usually continue to be reincarnated as animals in their next life or the life after that."

Because their birthdate is hardly ever remembered by anyone.

Just ask the pet owners nowadays, they can't even fully recall their dog's birth year, month, or place, or who their dog's parents were...

"But for dogs like military or guide dogs, they have accomplishments and a special name, birthdate, ID card. After they pass away, they have a grave and medals. So, they can be reborn as humans in their next life."

Humans who commit terrible crimes may fall into the animal realm.

Animals with good merit can be reborn as humans in their next life.

Susie just felt sorry for this dog and wanted to help it by building a tomb and burning paper money, hoping to give it a better journey so that it wouldn't have to suffer too much in the next life.

With some luck, it might even be able to escape the animal realm.

Wade listened to the explanation and suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is!"

"Great, it's done!" Susie clapped her hands and stood up, pulling the other stray dog. "Let's go back now. Don't worry, your good friend is already on the way."

The stray dog kept looking back, reluctant to leave.

Wade said, "It's still a spiritual dog... By the way, have you given it a name?"

Susie shook her head, "No."

Wade pondered, "I heard that when its companion was hit by a car and killed, this stray dog stayed by its side to guard it. How about calling it 'Watcher'?"

Megan sneered, "Isn't that too casual?"

Wade said, "Then you come up with a name!"

Lucy suggested, "Call it Biscuit!"

Megan said, "...Call it 'Guard...Woof woof.'"

The kids turned their heads to look at her, remained silent.

Megan gave up on naming and turned her head, looking annoyed. She wouldn't help them with naming in the future!

Hamza suddenly spoke up, "Call it Candy."

Susie was about to agree, thinking Candy was a good name that would always be sweet. But Wade was the first to object, "No! Last time Melina named it, this time I get to name it. Let's call it Watcher."

Susie fell silent, but remembered the candy in her pocket and immediately gave one to each person.

Hamza finally got his sister's candy!

He casually put the candy in his pocket, as if he didn't care about it at all.

Wade and Lucy were the first to unwrap their candies and put them in their mouths without washing their hands.

Hamza sneered, "Is it really that delicious? It's just a piece of candy."

He finished speaking and walked back slowly.

Susie watched with longing eyes...

Big brother, if you're not going to eat it, then give it to me!

Lucy looked at Susie and realized her little sister didn't have any candy.

She immediately bit her candy in half and spit out a half to give to Susie, "Here! Take half!"

A dirty hand, just dug up from the dirt, held half a candy that still had saliva on it.

Susie remained silent.

Wade looked disgusted, "Are you trying to gross her out?"

Lucy realized, "Oh, right, my hands are dirty!"

After saying that, she ran to the sink, put the half candy aside, washed her hands, and then washed the candy again.

"Here! It's clean now."

Susie remained silent.

Wade remained silent.

Megan remained silent.
