Chapter 524 (2/2)
”Grandfather is old and has no energy to earn money. When he was young, all the money he earned was given to your father and your mother.”
Chang Wen took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to the little girl. He said kindly, ”little beauty, take it and buy ice sugar gourd.”
The little girl happily took the money and said, ”uncle, thank you. When I grow up and earn money in the future, I will give it back to you.”
The old man with white beard reprimanded: ”Xiaohua, how can you ask for other people's money? It's not good.”
”Grandfather, the iced sugar gourd in the grocery store is almost sold out. If I don't buy it, I won't be able to eat it.”
Chang Wen said to the old man with white beard, ”old man, let Xiaohua buy it. She said that when she grows up and earns money, she will give it back to me.”
Xiaohua is jumping away.
The old man with white beard asked, ”young man, you are very kind-hearted. You look like a good man. I advise you to leave Shi's house as soon as possible. Don't muddle here.”
”How do you say that, old man?”
The old man with white beard glanced at the other old men and said vaguely, ”young man, the old saying is: if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of you. Just listen to me and get out of here.”
Chang Wen said helplessly: ”I... I've made a one month contract with shigu and paid a deposit of 500 yuan. If I quit my job, not only will I not get a cent, but also the deposit will be wasted. I have another brother who went to town to buy parts. Even if he left, he would have to wait until he came back. ”
The old man with white beard said quietly: ”young man, remember: don't go out when it's dark. No matter what happens outside, don't go out to see the rare things. Besides, you'd better buy a big rooster, kill it, and scatter its blood at the door and under the window of the house, so that no evil ghost can enter your house. ”
”Oh, I see. Thank you for your instruction.”
Chang Wen sat next to the old man with white beard and asked in a low voice, ”old man, I heard that shigu's daughter-in-law committed suicide by jumping into the river. What's the matter?”
The old man with white beard sighed and said with regret: ”Caixia, shigu's daughter-in-law, is a good woman. She married to the village three years ago and never blushed with anyone. She gets up to work before dawn and does needlework under the light at night. She is a rare virtuous daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, she married the wrong family.”
”Old man, does the Shi Family bully Caixia?”
”It's his family's business. It's hard for outsiders to know.”
Chang Wen can see that the old man with white beard has a lot of opinions on shigu, but he is not willing to say more.
After all, it's from the villagers. I can't see it when I look down. Besides, there are still some old men around me. If I speak ill of Shigu, it's inevitable that I won't be heard.
After chatting with some old men for a few days, Chang Wen left.
Zhang Guihua came back happily and said mysteriously, ”boss Chang, I've been dating a sister-in-law.”
It turned out that Zhang Guihua walked around the village and found several elder sisters sitting on the millstone doing needlework, so she went over.
A sister-in-law with her head on a plate asked Zhang Guihua, ”girl, are you here to visit relatives?”
”Sister in law, I'm an employee of the shigu family. I'm here to help his family with farm work.”
The sister-in-law with her head curled and said, ”then you have to be careful. A while ago, his family was haunted. The Shi family and his son had been hiding outside for more than ten days. When they came back, they were afraid that the ghosts would come back to make trouble again.”
”Sister in law, is there really a ghost?”
”Of course, it's said that it's still a female ghost. She's dressed in white and making a lot of noise. I can hear the sound of hammering the door against the window in my house.”
”Ah! Such a powerful ghost
