"Mrs. Li, I, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You're still pretending." Mrs. Chen had already jumped up, pointing at Mrs. Kong and yelling: "Lai Ximei, it's a good thing I've been thinking about my old love to help you for so many years, but you are lucky, and now you are counting on my shop and yard! Liar Said there are ghosts here. So I can get here at the cheapest price!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, I don't have one."

"You still say you don't?" Li Xibao snorted, "You spread rumors everywhere in Gaohu County, saying that Mr. Chen's shop is a haunted house. His business is not doing well, so you try to scare away all the people who come to take over .”

"Why are you talking nonsense, little girl? When did I scare people? That's because people outside are saying that his shop is haunted at night, and a woman is crying."

"What woman is crying? There is nothing at all. The truth is under the big plum tree in your house. Brother Chong has seen all of it yesterday."

"You..." Madam Kong's complexion changed.

"My lord, look, it's that plum tree." Mrs. Chen said to the guard, "Yesterday, the young master of the Li family found this place, and next to the plum tree is the cellar, and there is a big bellows in the cellar. "

"Search."

The guard yelled.

The table next to the plum tree was moved away.

Sure enough, the mouth of a cellar was exposed below.

The Li family and the Chen family opened up the cellar together, and smashed the cellar wide with bricks and stones.

Go down a few more people.

After a while, a large bellows was pulled out.

When the bellows was opened, there was a whistling sound of wind.

Exactly as they had heard in the night.

If it is in the silent night, it will sound very strange, especially the sound coming from underground.

Looking at the bellows, Madam Kong staggered, "You, how did you find out?"

"It's very simple." Xiao Chong said calmly: "Because only we who live in the west ear room can hear the whimpering sound similar to a woman at night, but Uncle and Aunt Li who live in the east ear room can't hear it. Some people say that It’s because we are children. But I don’t think so, there must be something wrong around the west ear room. I found it easily by following the plum tree in your house.”

"So that's how it is." Mrs. Kong looked at the plum tree, "It seems that I was so clever that I was fooled by my cleverness. I thought I could block it with this plum tree, but I didn't expect..."

"You admitted it!" Mrs. Chen was furious, and rushed over to give Mrs. Kong a slap in the face, "Bitch, how could you do this!"

"We grew up together. When we were in the country, I took good care of you. I have everything to eat and clothes. I haven't given you anything!"

"I married into the city, and I also tried to find a way to marry you into the city."

Mrs. Kong shook her head when she heard that, "But you asked me to marry a widower whose wife died!"

"It's a widower, and you don't think about the situation in your family. If it weren't for a widower, who would marry you?"

"Why not? I've been prettier than you since I was a child! You don't want to see me marry well!"

"Marriage is only based on good looks? What kind of people are your parents, and your brother is a gambler..." Mrs. Chen was angry and sad, "Lai Ximei, after all these years, it turns out that you have never treated me Think of them as sisters!"

Mrs. Kong shook her head, "No, I have always regarded you as a sister. Although I hate you sometimes, you are indeed very kind to me."

"You, why are you, why are you trying to spread rumors, why did you ask for my shop several times?"

"Because I don't have one. Although I am better-looking and more handy than you, the world is unfair. My life is not as good as yours. I am here, Kong Ci is gone, and I only have one daughter who is already married. Then Both sons are not my own, and they have been urging me to get out of here."

Madam Kong held her head up and cried, "Where am I going when I leave here? Where are I going? Go back to the countryside? I've already left, I'm a city dweller, and I absolutely can't go back!"

When Mrs. Kong said this, she became excited.

"I can only stay if I get your shop."

"Where's your silver? Haven't you accumulated it all these years?"

"Those... I have given them all to my brother... If I don't give them to my mother, I will die in front of me... I have nothing now."

Mrs. Kong slumped on the ground. Although she wept bitterly, she still held her chin high.

"My life is miserable, I am really miserable... I can only be closer to my daughter, I just want to live a decent life."

Mrs. Kong wept bitterly.

Li Xibao didn't show any emotion.

"You may be from a bad background, or you may be dragged down by your natal family. But as long as your mind is clear enough to cut off contact with your natal family, you can live a better life when you come to the city. There is no need for you to slander the people around you Spreading rumors. You are not miserable, you are smart, and you are despicable, which caused the current situation." The young Li Xibao said these words so calmly.

After finishing speaking, she grabbed Li Dashan's hand, "Father."

Li Dashan nodded, and said to the guards: "Officer, this woman is too bad, please ask the county master to make decisions for us."

The guard nodded, "Go, take her away!"

Mrs. Kong was taken away by the guards, from the depths of the alley all the way to the corner of the alley.

Many neighbors outside came out to watch them.

Han Sanniang was among them.

"The matter has been found out, neighbors, there is no such thing as a haunted place at all, it is entirely because this Mrs. Kong did it deliberately in order to get this shop." Li Dashan faced the neighbors and clasped his fists, "Please help me, big guys, to get this shop. This news is also spread, so that everyone can dispel their worries, I, Li Dashan, am here to thank everyone."

Everyone nodded.

"Okay, let's talk for you."

"Really, I didn't expect that Mrs. Kong is such a person."

"That's right, I usually look at knowledgeable and sensible people, but I didn't expect to have such a deep scheming buried."

"It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance."

"Boss Li, don't worry, we will help you spread the word."

"Thank you everyone, we are not busy anymore, we must set up a few tables, and thank all the neighbors."

Everyone left with a smile on their face.

Chen Xisheng and his wife did not leave.

"Master Chen, what else do you need?" Li Xibao said.

"Oh... you guys... this is a bargain for you." Mrs. Chen lowered her eyelids, "If it hadn't been sold to you, this shop might be able to start again in the future, and it would be worth a thousand taels by then."

Li Xibao smiled, "Madam Chen, if you hadn't met us, no one would have helped you find the source of this rumor."

"Hehe, what this little girl said is also true." Chen Xisheng patted his wife, "Forget it, maybe we have no destiny with this shop, so let's give them a destiny."

"Little girl, I also wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
