”What's so scary about getting a male corpse? It's not like I got a female corpse.”
”Little Tian, you stay here and take a look at the store. I'll go take a look with the village chief.”
”Oh, I know.” Logically speaking, that small riverbank shouldn't have drowned people. When I was young, I had always been bathing there. The river wasn't that deep, so it shouldn't have drowned people.
I was bored from being alone in the store. I took a stool and sat at the entrance with a paper man glued to it. A car drove in from the village and stopped in front of the shop.
”Isn't this Boss Tang? Didn't you go back last night? What kind of wind was this that brought you back here?”
Tang Guofeng smiled as he took out a bank card from his pocket and personally handed it to me. ”I forgot to give you red packets when you marry my daughter Xiao Feng.”
”Take away …” The two of you old men have teamed up and set up a trap for me to crawl through. ” I got up and poured myself a glass of water. I took a sip and said grumpily, ”I don't dare to accept this money.”
”This card has five hundred thousand yuan. Our Tang Clan has the rule that we can't lose out on our son-in-law.” 500,000? My eyes lit up, and I impolitely took the card and put it in my pocket.
Tang Guofeng smiled, ”Why didn't you see Old Master Liu?”
”The old man and the chief went to work. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back. Look at the clouds, it might rain later.” I won't give in front of money, but I can't refuse the free money.
Since Old Master Liu is not around, then I'll go back first. This money will save me some money and bring your master to the city to find me when I have time. After saying that, Tang Guofeng turned around and got into his car. He then drove the car slowly out of the village.
”Have a safe trip and disappear halfway!” I grumbled in annoyance, wishing that the car would stop halfway through its journey.
”Oh my god, have you finished your work?” At this moment, the old man walked over unsteadily with his hands behind his back, ”What are you doing standing there like an idiot? You're looking like a corpse!”
”Boss Tang just left. He also left me a bank card saying that he's giving me a red packet.” I put down the paper man in my hand, took out my bank card and passed it to the old man, ”This card has 500,000 yuan, this time you really sold me. In total, I'm worth 500,000 yuan?”
”You think you're worth the five hundred thousand?” The old man's words caused me to be at a loss for words. I wasn't even worth five hundred thousand yuan.
”Old Master, why is the village head looking for you? What's the situation with the corpse?”
The old man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, ”It's a ghost in the water. That river is not clean, so don't go there too.”
”Then what should we do? Why would there be a water ghost in the river for no reason?” Ever since I was a kid, I often took baths in the river. The water in the river was very clear, there wasn't even water or grass, so how could I drown?
The day passed just like that, and finally it got to night. I yawned, closed the shop door, and went back to my new house.
The courtyard of my new house isn't far from the shop, but it can be considered the best courtyard in the village. After a simple wash, I entered the house. After a busy day, I was indeed a bit tired.
”The restaurant was a little busy today, so I came back a little late. You can treat these three incense sticks as midnight snacks.” As usual, I lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet. I turned around and walked to the bed before lying down on it.
However, just as I lay down, I heard a wind blowing by my ear. I opened my eyes abruptly and turned my head away, nearly causing me to pass out from fright. Tang Yufeng's extremely distorted face almost touched my face.
”Ah …” I jumped out of bed like a carp and looked at her in some panic. She climbed down from the bed and every time she moved, there would be creaking sounds coming from her body. Her hair covered half her face, just like in that movie.
”Grandaunt …” I just came back a bit late, do you need to do this? ” I almost kneeled down to her. This aunt doesn't let the policy go at all.
”Where did you go …” Coming back so late... Are you purposefully avoiding me! ”
”How would I dare …” There's work to be done in the shop, and I'm in a hurry to get back. At worst, I can just give you a few incense sticks of time as an apology. ”
There was a trace of anger in Tang Yufeng's eyes, as if she wanted to eat me in one bite.
When I saw her eyes, my heart was filled with tears. ”Big sis, what grudge did I have with you in my previous life? Why are you always pestering me? Otherwise, you can strangle me to death. Don't torture me like this.”
