Chai Erniu didn't say anything, and her mother scolded her more and more vigorously. Some of her words became increasingly unbearable to hear. It was hard to believe that a mother would belittle her own daughter like this.

Shehe didn't understand the meaning of those words, but she could sense the resentment in that harsh voice. She asked Qu Yang: "Is this the life that Chai Anan lives?"

"Well, Chai Anan does all the housework in their house. Her mother even ripped up her textbooks several times and didn't let her go to school."

"Why don't you let her go to school?"

"I felt it was useless. After studying, you still have to get married. But after making trouble a few times, Chai Anan somehow convinced her and she never made trouble at school again."

Qu Yang secretly glanced at the woman in the yard, "I'll tell you quietly, I heard that the reason she didn't let him do that is because her husband went out to work and never came back. Everyone said that her husband didn't want her anymore, so she was afraid that Chai Anan would run away too. After all, Chai Chenglong's money for marrying a wife in the future will have to wait for her dowry."

Sheh asked, “How old is Chai Anan?”

"Looks like 16 years old." Qu Yang was doing two things at once, fearing that Chai's mother would find out: "Do you have anything else to ask? If not, let's go. I'm afraid of this woman. If she sees us, she'll definitely cause trouble."

"Have."

Shi Jinzhe carried Shehe towards the gate of the yard. There were some things he still needed to know from Chai's mother.

"Hey, hey!" Qu Yang couldn't break free from the rope and was pulled inside, and no one could stop him.

"Hello, I want to ask you something about Chai Anan." Shi Jinzhe went straight to the point. It was obvious that Chai's mother was not a reasonable person, so there was no need to be too roundabout.

"Who is it?" Chai's mother stopped angrily, and the scolding stopped because of the appearance of three people.

She held a wooden stick and stood in front of Chai Chenglong, her eyes moving back and forth vigilantly.

Qu Yang knew it, but the man and woman in front of her were very outstanding in temperament and appearance. They definitely could not be from Shaojia Village, especially the man who looked like a rich man.

Chai's mother's attitude softened a little: "What do you want from Chai Anan?"

"I want to ask about her situation. Where did she go to four years ago? Has she contacted you?"

"What connection is there? She is an ungrateful person. I provided her with food and clothing, but she didn't believe what she promised me. I shouldn't have trusted that bastard."

When Chai's mother spoke, her voice was exceptionally loud, almost like shouting, and it sounded like a quarrel, hurting the ears of those who listened.

Behind her, Chai Chenglong was holding a bowl of rice and tilting his head to peek at Shehe.

Shekh rubbed his fingers, a movement so slight that no one noticed.

Chai's mother's voice was so penetrating that Shi Jinzhe took two steps back. "What did she promise you?"

"Give me 5 yuan." Chai's mother looked impatient. "She said she would give it to me once she passed high school, but she didn't give me anything. She just kept talking nonsense. It would be better to let her get yuan like Xu Xiaomei and marry. Then I can get something practical."

"Where does she get the money from?"

"The volunteers gave it to me." Mother Chai looked at Shi Jinzhe, as if she had discovered something. Her eyes were shining as she looked at him. "Are you a volunteer too?"

The attitude of "I'm just trying to be dignified and say a few words to you" just now changed instantly. She kicked Chai Erniu and said, "Hurry up and pour water for the guests, you have no tact."

"No need." Shi Jinzhe's eyes swept across Chai Erniu's fingers, which were twisted and calloused from doing work. The little girl looked too young.

An eleven-year-old should be spoiled in her parents' arms and enjoying life, but Chai Erniu's eyes were lifeless, and she had been worn out by this family to the point of numbness. "Let her rest."

"Why rest? Our Erniu is very hardworking. She is willing to do these things."

Chai Erniu was pulled over by her mother and held in front of her, as if she was displaying a product. "Don't underestimate our Erniu because she is small. She is actually very smart. Not only does she learn things quickly, but she is also very sensible and obedient. I guarantee she will do whatever you ask her to do."

Shi Jinzhe didn't want to hear this, so he changed the subject: "Which volunteer gave Chai Anan the money? Does Shaodong know?"

"How should I know? That ungrateful boy told me nothing. You should ask him about Shaodong's affairs. I don't know." Chai's mother didn't want to give up such a good opportunity and continued to introduce Chai Erniu to Shi Jinzhe as if she was selling goods.

"Really? Our Erniu is great." She looked at Shehe and said, "Maybe she's not as pretty as her, but we're very healthy and can have children in the future. Just give us 10 yuan."

When Chai's mother finished her last sentence, Shi Jinzhe felt that the blood in his body was rushing to his brain.

Chai Erniu is only eleven years old. Does she know what she is talking about?

He took two deep breaths and asked, "How much do you know about Qin Jingyu?"

"Qin Jingyu? She's also a nuisance." Mother Chai said with disdain, "She's the one who feeds our Nan those drugs every day, which makes her want to run away all the time. She's also restless, and I don't know who she's trying to seduce by wearing a skirt every day."

Shi Jinzhe tried his best to be patient and asked: "When was the last time you saw Qin Jingyu?"

"About four years ago, Ah Nan insisted that she had to say goodbye to this big trouble before going to school. I couldn't stop her, and I saw the two of them heading east to the Little White Building."

When they got the information they wanted most, they turned around and walked out. East was the direction they came from, and they were going to the small building.

After death, one can become a ghost without any conditions. The strange location and orientation of the small building, which has been uninhabited for many years, is indeed the most important key location.

Seeing that Shi Jinzhe was about to leave, Chai's mother quickly reached out to pull him back, "Don't go, look at our Erniu, she's very clean, definitely different from those vixens out there who have been slept with by others."

"Don't touch me!" Shi Jinzhe turned sideways and walked out.

Chai's mother still wanted to chase after it, but the money bag hadn't come for several years, and now that it finally came, she couldn't let it run away.

Suddenly, Chai Chenglong, who was hiding behind her and looking reluctant to leave Shehe, shouted, "Mom! Snake, there is a snake!"

A blue and brown snake crawled out from somewhere and climbed up his calf. The rustling sound of its crawling drowned out the grass, and more and more snakes crawled towards Chai Chenglong.

Chai's mother didn't care about the time she walked away, she picked up the stick and hit Chai Chenglong.

Those snakes seemed to have consciousness. They crawled into his clothes and onto his face. Even Chai's mother was not spared.

Chai Erniu stood in the middle of the yard. A snake crawled over her feet, but it did not stop, just treating her as a passerby and focused on going towards Chai Chenglong.
