The darkness covers up all sins, and fate picks on the unfortunate. Widow Xu was originally just unconscious, but after being tormented by someone, she woke up and tried her best to resist. Unfortunately, she was not as strong as the man, and he succeeded and got away with it.

Widow Xu collapsed for a long time, her mind numb and confused. She had lost her money and her innocence. Why was her life so miserable?

"Auntie..."

The child's cry startled her, and her eyes finally moved a few times. She still had a child. If she died, how could the child live?

Shen Nanzhi didn't know that Jiang Chen was so vicious and bullied a poor widow. She waited in the county government office early in the morning. Jiang Chen returned the silver, 550 taels. Shen Nanzhi also moved her household registration out and opened an independent account without any involvement with anyone.

She will have a new beginning in the future. Although she will be alone, she has relatives and friends and will not be lonely. She can fight for what she wants on her own, just like in her previous life.

Jiang Chen was not as resentful as before and had learned to hide his hatred. His superficial hatred was useless except for making his enemies happy and it made him more embarrassed.

"Shen, from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other, and we will never meet again. It's just that you adopted a few children. You can be so cruel as to abandon them and be irresponsible. But I can't be as cruel as you. I will raise the children and be responsible for them."

Shen Nanzhi laughed sarcastically: "Really? It was clearly you who coerced and lured those children to leave me, leaving me alone, and wanted to use this to control me. How come you are the one responsible for this?

You can just say something nice to deceive the innocent people who don't know the truth. With your mother's mean temper, how can you let several children have an easy life?

I'm afraid they beat and scold you all day long and don't even give you enough food to eat. After all, we have been married for two years. How could I not know what kind of people in your family are like?

Just when I thought you were getting better and better at saving face, you couldn't help but act stupid again. Jiang Chen, you are still so green and you still have a lot to learn. Don't show off your skills in front of me and make yourself look bad. "

Shen Nanzhi shook the banknotes, not caring much about them, as if they were just a few taels of silver, which made Jiang Chen even more upset. "Shen, you are mean. You and I have nothing to do with each other. You don't need to care about my affairs."

"Haha, you are really good at flattering yourself. Why do you think I am controlling you? I am clearly mocking you, haha..."

Jiang Chen angrily threw his sleeves and left. The most important thing for him now was to study hard. He would take revenge a hundredfold for the humiliation he suffered today.

Shen Nanzhi was in a good mood. The person waiting for her at the dental office took her to see the house.

A yahang is equivalent to a modern real estate agency. The young man, who inherited his father's business, is called Ma Jiacai. He is quite handsome, not tall, and has a good temper with a smile on his face, but a shrewdness occasionally flashes in his eyes.

"Miss Shen, let's go take a look at the house in the west of the city. It's big enough and meets your requirements. The key is that it's cheap, only five hundred taels."

She had enough money, so Ma Jiacai decided to make this deal. The commission alone would be five taels of silver, enough to cover expenses for half a year. But this was a big client.

"Okay, lead the way."

Shen Nanzhi casually stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves. He didn't want to think about Jiang Chen, that bastard, and his ungrateful children anymore. He still had to live his own life.

The house is indeed quite large, with blue bricks and tiles, covering an area of ​​five acres, with three entrances. Five hundred taels is definitely a great value for money.

Ma Jiacai introduced it in a torrent of words, "This is the old house of a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He renovated it when he was rich. He originally wanted to use it for his retirement, but he got into trouble and his whole family was exiled and their property was confiscated. This old house is now deserted."

Ma Jiacai said this with some sigh. So what if those big shots were no better than an ordinary person like him once something happened.

Shen Nanzhi said: "I saw him build a tall building, and I saw it collapse. There is nothing more tragic than this in the world."

Ma Jiacai was shocked. "Miss, what you said is very eloquent. I can understand it. Has the girl ever been to school?"

"I've read some of it, but it's not that good. Let's go in and take a look."

"okay."

Ma Jiacai took out the key to open the door and led her around the corridor. It was indeed the residence of the Minister. Although it was dilapidated and desolate, one could still see its former luxury and exquisiteness.

The pillars are carved with beams and painted with rafters, and any one of them is as thick as a man's waist. The wood alone is worth a lot of money.

Shen Nanzhi looked at the first entrance first and was quite satisfied, but he had a question: "Such a good house is worth more than five hundred taels of silver, why is no one buying it?

Ma Jiacai's eyes flickered, "Those masters knew that this was a confiscated house, and they all felt it was unlucky. Besides, this place is a bit remote, far from the main street, and if something happened, no one would know, so it would be difficult to take action.

This is a property confiscated by the government, and the money from the sale will be returned to the public, so the price will not be high. Besides, the house has been abandoned and dilapidated over the years, and except for its large size, it has no other advantages, making it even harder to sell.

After all, in the county town, remote land is not valuable. You can buy a lot of land for one hundred taels. It is not much more expensive to rebuild it yourself. But it is brand new and has good Feng Shui. Who would not build it themselves if they have money? "

Shen Nanzhi: "Then I am the one who got taken advantage of."

"That's not the case. Miss Shen is in urgent need of it and she wants to open a workshop. More people can keep it under control. You also want something affordable, so I'll introduce this place to you."

It was indeed good. Shen Nanzhi was satisfied, but he still wanted to bargain for a while. "Don't worry, I'll take a look."

She would not trust this man easily. It was just a small matter in the county town. She would find out more clearly before making any decision.

As he was talking, Uncle Niu came over, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat him up: "Mr. Ma, what do you mean by introducing this haunted house to my niece?"

"Haunted house?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled meaningfully, Ma Jiacai blushed and whispered: "There are always deaths in every house. Miss Shen is a righteous woman who can fight against ruffians and kill bandits. Why would she be afraid of such a small matter?

Besides, it’s been so many years, what could have happened?”

Wow, Shen Nanzhi didn’t even know he had such great abilities. The evil spirits were dispersed and the ghosts and gods didn’t dare to approach him. It was a good thing that he thought so highly of himself.

Uncle Niu said, "In order to protect their innocence, the women of this family hanged themselves in the house. I heard there were hundreds of people there, and now and then there are still children crying. No one dares to get close. How can they be alright?"

Shen Nanzhi: "There are still children crying? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true."

Ma Jiacai: "It's not credible. Maybe it's just hearsay, and it's been spread by word of mouth. No one has really seen any ghosts."

"Whoa, whoa..."

Just as he finished speaking, a burst of crying was heard. At that moment, dark clouds passed by the sky, and the sky above became dark, as if there were really wronged ghosts crying.

"what……"
