I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Finally, she walked forward to the end of Mingguang Street. After walking for about an incense stick of time, she saw an abandoned house.

It is very big and full of weeds that are as tall as a person.

The two courtyards in the front and back look habitable, and the roofs, doors and windows are all intact.

She went to a dental clinic on Mingguang Street and went in to ask around.

When the young man heard her talk about the house, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and he looked at Ji Xiaobei again.

I thought to myself: He is definitely not a local.

I heard that someone took the initiative to ask about the house, and the shopkeeper received her personally.

The fat shopkeeper said kindly, "That house has been abandoned for many years, but it can be used after being cleaned up. How many years would you like to rent it for?"

asked the fat shopkeeper.

This house has been here for several years, and the owner has no idea where he has moved to.

If it is rented out, the money will belong to the dental clinic.

After all, it’s a haunted house and local people who know about it won’t rent it.

After Ji Xiaobei entered the house and asked about the house, the waiter's expression turned strange, and the shopkeeper received her cordially again.

She wondered if there was something wrong with the house.

"How much is it for a year's rent?" Ji Xiaobei went straight to the point.

"One year, ah... don't you want to take a look at the house?" the shopkeeper asked happily.

"I've seen it. It can be lived in after being cleaned up!"

"That house is huge. It used to be occupied by a retired official from the capital. He was rich, but he moved away later..."

The shopkeeper introduced the situation of the landlord.

"How much silver a year?" Ji Xiaobei asked again.

The shopkeeper originally wanted to lay some groundwork, but he didn't expect the customer to be so anxious.

"50 taels a year, it's that big after all, right?" said the shopkeeper after taking a sip of water.

"Is that house a haunted house?" Ji Xiaobei said.

"Ah... Actually, it's not really..." The shopkeeper stammered.

Ji Xiaobei laughed twice and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a haunted house, as long as it's cheap enough!"

"Ah..." The shopkeeper looked at Ji Xiaobei in surprise.

This woman is so strange, is she here specifically to rent haunted houses?

"Twenty taels of silver a year!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"Ah... No way... Such a big house!"

"Yes, for such a big haunted house, 15 taels a year?" Ji Xiaobei said seriously.

"Oh, no, that's not possible..."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Ji Xiaobei stood up and was about to leave.

It's a haunted house and needs to be cleaned up. I'm giving you 15 taels as a courtesy.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Ji Xiaobei and said, "Sir, please don't leave. Let's discuss this further..."

"15 taels a year, the dental office will be responsible for cleaning it up for me..."

Ji Xiaobei joked and walked out of the dental clinic.

She wanted to rent a big and cheap one, and since he didn't agree, she would look for another one.

Anzhou is so big.

Ji Xiaobei walked for a while and the young man followed him from behind, panting.

"Sir, my boss asks you to go back!"

"Does he agree to the price and conditions I offered?" Ji Xiaobei asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, we are discussing..."

Ji Xiaobei walked away, muttering, "I don't have time to waste with you..."

The fat shopkeeper stretched his neck at the door and shouted: "Sir, please come back. Everything will be as you said!"

It's empty anyway, and it's unlucky to hold it in your hand.

Ji Xiaobei paid a deposit for half a year, and after the guys had cleaned up the house, she came back to pay the remaining half and sign the documents.

"Hey, I've never seen you bargain so well!"

The shopkeeper shook his head and sent Ji Xiaobei out the door.

Ji Xiaobei: There are plenty of pawnshops and brothels in Anzhou, so why should I hang myself on a tree?

The only thing left to do is to find a tailor and an embroiderer.

Oh! It would be nice if Strait Girl could come.

It’s not easy to find experienced people.

She went to a dental clinic and looked at several tailors, but was not satisfied with any of them.

This matter could not be rushed. That day, Ji Xiaobei got up early and took Huang Po and Lin Po to inspect the house.

"What? Rented a house again?"

Mrs. Lin asked with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Your Xiaobei is going to do business again. I told you, she can't sit still..."

Mrs. Huang said as she chopped vegetables for the chicken.

"We have also opened a shop in Anzhou. I am looking for an embroiderer and a tailor..."

Ji Xiaobei said calmly.

"No, we haven't sold the things at home yet. Do you have such a big market?"

Mrs. Lin asked, holding on to the wall and shaking her legs.

"Yes, Jiaojiao introduced us to it. I showed her our products and she was very satisfied. She asked for more. But we don't have any products, so we won't make any money from them..."

When Mrs. Lin heard that it was Jiaojiao who was responsible, she immediately became excited.

"The great and kind Jiaojiao is truly a living Bodhisattva descended to the mortal world..."

Mrs. Lin quickly clasped her hands together and chanted a few words towards the sky.

"August 15th is Jiaojiao's birthday. I'll take you to see her then..."

Ji Xiaobei said this and walked towards the door.

"Hey, wait for us two, Huang, don't worry about that useless chicken, it hasn't laid eggs in the past few days. Come on, go and see the new house..."

Mrs. Huang threw away the kitchen knife in her hand, wiped her hands on her apron, pulled off the apron, and ran out.

The people from the dental office have already cleared out the yard.

The three of them happily took over the house.

The two old ladies looked at it for a long time and were extremely happy. Such a big house was really spacious, with two courtyards in front and back.

Ji Xiaobei went with him to get the paperwork done. On the way back, he passed by a carpenter's shop and ordered a large plaque.

"Zhengguo Handicraft Shop"

When she returned to the house, two old ladies were cleaning things in the house.

The house is fully equipped with tables, stools, and beds, so you basically don't need to buy anything else to live in it.

"Bei, this house is so big, but it only costs 15 taels of silver. How about we give up our house and move here?"

Mrs. Lin suggested.

"No, no, it's too noisy here, not suitable for confinement."

Mrs. Huang disagreed.

"Yes, yes, look at my brain..."

The two old women started quarreling again.

Ji Xiaobei was walking around in the front and back yards.

There were several deep knife marks on the big tree in the backyard, and there were also traces of a fight on the blue brick wall in the backyard.

Ji Xiaobei had already inquired on the way back and found out that the previous resident of this house was a wealthy businessman.

I don’t know who I offended, but my entire family was wiped out.

Fortunately, some family members were away from home, so they were spared from the disaster.

Ji Xiaobei didn't believe in gods and ghosts, but she still asked a Feng Shui master to take a look.

The Feng Shui master said that as long as the people living in the house can suppress the ghosts and gods, there will be no problem.

If you suppress it, everything will go smoothly.

Ji Xiaobei thrust out his chest and asked, "Can someone like me hold it down?"

The Feng Shui master nodded and said with a smile: "Young lady is a very blessed person, of course she can suppress it, but the young lady's husband is the one who can protect the house!"

Ji Xiaobei: "Bah, I didn't..."

Mrs. Lin pulled Ji Xiaobei behind her, glared at her, and told her to shut up...
