"What's the matter?"

Grandma picked up her cloth bag and asked as she walked.

"There were constant clanging noises in the house. We went to check but couldn't see anything moving. We also found small animals like mice or something, but the noises just kept on going."

"If this continues every night, our family won't be able to survive."

"Aunt Xu, do you think it's Huang Bo who's causing trouble again?"

Dad Qiao gave a wry smile.

"It's hard to tell right now, let's go and take a look."

Grandma said.

"Feng'er, lock the door and let's go take a look." Grandma told me again.

"Okay, grandma." I locked the door and followed them.

"Aunt Xu, our Qiao family is so unlucky!"

Along the way, Dad Qiao was sighing.

Grandma kept comforting me, saying that everything would be fine after it was all over.

As soon as I arrived at the Qiao family's house, at the door, I heard a clanging sound coming from upstairs. It sounded like something was hitting the wall. The sound was so loud that it shook the whole building slightly.

It’s no wonder that the Qiao family was scared. With the decibel level of the sound, no one would be able to sleep all night. What’s more, they couldn’t find the source of the sound, which made people terrified.

Qiao Xiaoling and Qiao's mother came out. Both of them had obvious dark circles under their eyes, and it was obvious that they didn't sleep well last night.

"Grandma Xu, Liu Feng, you're here. I think Huang Bo is making trouble again. He, he hasn't forgiven me yet."

As soon as she saw us, Qiao Xiaoling limped over, looking tired, and started crying.

"Yes, Aunt Xu, please help me take a look at what's going on in my house. This is really a sin!"

Mother Qiao also spoke to grandma with a sad face.

"It's okay, don't panic, let's wait and see!"

While comforting the panicked mother and daughter, grandma turned to me and said.

"Feng'er, why don't you go upstairs and take a look!"

"Ok."

I agreed and went upstairs.

"Liu Feng, I'll go with you!"

After taking a few steps, I found Qiao Xiaoling following me with her hand on the railing.

"No need, Sister Xiaoling, I can go up by myself."

I guess the one who was causing trouble upstairs was Huang Bo. He was afraid that it would be dangerous for Qiao Xiaoling to follow him, so he refused.

"It's okay, Liu Feng, I'm not afraid. If it's really Huang Bo, I want to ask him why he is targeting our family. If he has any grievances, just vent them on me and ask him to stop hurting my family."

Qiao Xiaoling had an expression as if she was ready to die bravely.

"Sister Xiaoling, you are really not afraid."

I asked worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, let's go! He made a scene from 2am to 4am last night, and from 7am today until now. He just doesn't want us, the Qiao family, to survive."

I saw that Qiao Xiaoling seemed to have given it her all and was not afraid at all despite her anger.

I didn't say anything else, went down a few stairs, and helped her up.

As soon as I arrived at the main room on the second floor, I saw Huang Bo at a glance. He was sitting on the ground with a hammer in his hand, hammering hard and occasionally hitting an iron basin next to him.

When he saw us coming up, he looked at me with a smile, without stopping what he was doing.

"Sister Xiaoling, are you sure you're not afraid?"

I asked Qiao Xiaoling again, to prevent her from getting scared when I talked to Huang Bo later.

Just like what happened to Wang Erming that day. He said he was not afraid, but in the end he was scared to the point of almost peeing his pants.

"It's okay, Liu Feng, did you see it? Was it Huang Bo?"

Qiao Xiaoling held my hand tightly and asked.

I nodded.

She frowned, nervousness mixed with anger, and spoke with trembling lips.

"Well, then, tell him and let him vent his anger and resentment on me."

"It's okay, Sister Xiaoling, I'll try to persuade him."

I comforted Qiao Xiaoling and helped her sit on the chair by the wall.

She looked around with her eyes wide open, as if searching for Huang Bo, but she couldn't see him.

In reality, the second floor has two sacks of grain in the corner and a few chairs against the wall.

These two bags of millet should have been left by the Qiao family as food last year. They were placed upstairs to dry out.

Seeing that Qiao Xiaoling's emotions had stabilized a little, I walked over to Huang Bo and squatted down.

When Qiao Xiaoling saw me squatting down, she looked at me with wide eyes, holding the edge of the chair tightly with both hands.

"Liu Feng, thank you so much for finding my body this time! But please don't interfere in the future. This is a matter between me and the Qiao family. I hope you don't get involved. I don't want to hurt you either."

Before I could open my mouth, Huang Bo spoke first. While he was talking to me, he did not stop what he was doing. Not only did he not stop, he increased the force of his knocking, making the sound even louder.

"Brother Huang Bo, are you still unwilling to let the Qiao family go? Sister Xiaoling has already realized her mistake, and she even went to see you off. You should know that," I said.

"I know this, and I don't want to hate her anymore, but why do the Qiao family live in a building built with my family's money? My parents and sister are still working hard to make money to pay off the debt."

Having said that, he knocked the ground heavily again, making a bang, and looked at Qiao Xiaoling who was sitting against the wall.

I followed him and looked at Qiao Xiaoling.

When she saw me looking at her, Qiao Xiaoling opened her eyes wide and looked at me in confusion.

"Sister Xiaoling, Brother Huang Bo said he has forgiven you!"

After hearing what I said, Qiao Xiaoling did not respond, but tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped away the tears with her hands again and again, as if venting the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Huang Bo looked at Qiao Xiaoling coldly, without any resentment or love. He stopped what he was doing and the whole building immediately became quiet.

"How about this, Liu Feng, since you are here today, please help me pass on a message and ask the Qiao family to return half of the betrothal money to my family, and let my parents pay off the debt they still owe, and I will stop making trouble."

Huang Bo spread his hands, placed them on his legs, looked at me and said.

I was slightly stunned and looked at Qiao Xiaoling again.

"Liu Feng, does he have something to say to me?"

Seeing that I was hesitant to speak, Qiao Xiaoling had already guessed what I was saying.

"Brother Huang Bo said that your Qiao family should pay back half of the betrothal money to the Huang family." I still relayed Huang Bo's meaning truthfully.

After hearing this, Qiao Xiaoling was silent for a while, then looked up and said to me.

"Liu Feng, I can't make this decision on my own. I have to discuss it with my family."

"Okay, I'll leave first. Give them three days to give me an answer."

Huang Bo stood up and floated out of the window with a whoosh.

"Let's go, Sister Xiaoling, Brother Huang Bo has already left, let's go downstairs."

I walked over to Qiao Xiaoling, helped her up and walked downstairs.

Qiao Xiaoling sighed and said, "Liu Feng, how can my family afford 10,000 yuan? I don't even have the money to treat my sister's illness."

In fact, I also know the current situation of the Qiao family. It is indeed quite difficult to ask them to come up with 10,000 yuan, but there is nothing we can do as Huang Bo asked.

If his demands are not met, even if I forcibly put him into the Soul-Purifying Bottle, seal him for 49 days, and then release him, I am afraid that I will not be able to appease his resentment.
