Su Sheng was assigned by Su Guangzong to work in the fields.

But with Su Sheng's personality, how could he possibly be obedient?

He hasn't done farm work for more than ten years and doesn't know how to do it anymore.

Looking at the crops growing well in the fields, he found a comfortable place to take a nap.

Hu Xiumei washed clothes at home for the entire afternoon. By the time she finished washing all the clothes, it was almost dark.

Su Guangzong came out from the inner room, holding his pipe and said angrily: "It's getting dark and you haven't cooked yet, do you want to starve me to death?"

Hu Xiumei didn't dare to talk back. She quickly washed and hung the clothes, then went into the kitchen and started cooking dinner.

There is one advantage now, that is, there are fewer people at home and less cooking, so she can be relatively more relaxed.

After a while, Su Sheng came back from outside carrying a pickaxe, looking leisurely.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Is the meal ready?"

Hu Xiumei popped her head out and cursed, "Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! If you want to eat quickly, come and help me light the fire."

Su Sheng didn't want to help. He felt very uncomfortable sleeping outside in the afternoon and wanted to lie back on the kang.

He pretended to have a backache, "Oh, Mom, I accidentally sprained my waist while working. I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while. Just call me when you're done cooking. I'm not in a hurry!"

After saying that, he flashed into his room.

Hu Xiumei looked at Su Sheng's quick movements and couldn't help but curse.

"Bullshit, how could I not notice your back hurt?"

She cursed him like this, but thinking that he was her most beloved eldest son after all, she didn't care anymore and continued cooking.

After the meal was ready, it was dark. The family had dinner and went to sleep.

Little did they know that after they lay down to sleep, Su Xiaoxiao sneaked into their home.

Late at night, everything is quiet.

Hu Xiumei was suddenly awakened by a nightmare.

She suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for breath.

She looked up and saw that Su Guangzong was sleeping soundly, then she lay down again with peace of mind.

Just as she was about to fall asleep again, she heard a dog barking outside.

From the sound, it sounded like the dogs of several nearby neighbors were barking.

It’s the middle of the night and I don’t know what these dead dogs are yelling at.

She now hates dogs more and more, especially the broken dog that Su Xiaoxiao keeps.

She turned over and was about to continue sleeping, but she heard someone knocking on the door.

It’s already this late, who could it be?

She waited for a moment, and when she heard the knock on the door again, she got up impatiently, put on some clothes and went out to check.

When she was almost at the gate, she asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

There was no response from the other side of the door, and the knocks continued.

The voice sounded very anxious.

"Who is it? Come on, come on, stop knocking, the door is broken."

She opened the door, but there was no one there.

She leaned out half of her body and looked outside the door, but still no one was there.

She frowned. Did she hear wrongly? No one knocked on the door just now?

She closed the door and prepared to go back home.

After taking a few steps, there was another knock on the door.

This time she was sure she heard it right, the knock on the door was very clear.

She thought someone was playing a prank on her and shouted angrily towards the door.

"Who on earth is outside the door, teasing me for no reason?"

There was still no answer except for the knock on the door.

Hu Xiumei completely lost her patience. She strode to the door, quickly opened it, and started cursing at the people outside.

"Who the hell comes here to have fun? Are they looking for death?"

There was no one outside the door.

Suddenly there was a cough, followed by a gust of cold wind.

Hu Xiumei just felt cold all over.

She suddenly felt bad.

Is it...

ghost?

She remembered what the witch had said during the day, that it was best not to go out at night, and her hair suddenly stood on end.

Could it be that the witch really has some tricks up her sleeve and invited ghosts to scare her at night?

She immediately closed the door again, ran back to the house without looking back, and got into bed.

She gently pushed Su Guangzong who was sleeping beside her.

"Old man, there's always knocking on the door. Is it haunted?"

Su Guangzong was sleeping soundly and had no intention of paying attention. He closed his eyes and scolded impatiently.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You're just scaring yourself. If you don't want to sleep, don't pull me along!"

He turned over and fell asleep again.

Seeing Su Guangzong's attitude, Hu Xiumei swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Boom boom boom!

She heard the knock at the door again!

Could it be that Su Guangzong couldn't hear it, and only she could hear it?

That ghost is specifically looking for her?

She was so scared that she hid her head in the quilt, curled up and dared not move.

On the other side, Su Sheng came out of the room sleepily and went to the toilet.

When he came back, he heard someone knocking on the door.

He looked at the hazy moon in the sky and raised his eyebrows.

Who would be knocking on the door in the middle of the night?

He didn't think much about it and went straight to open the door.

"Who?"

I opened the door, but there was no one outside.

He was slightly surprised. He walked out the door and looked around.

There was nothing to be seen on the dark road, not even a single person.

Could it be that he got up too quickly just now and had an illusion?

He didn't care, returned to the yard, closed the door again, and walked towards the room.

After taking a few steps, I heard a knock on the door behind me.

At the same time, there was the sound of someone coughing.

He shouted to the door.

"Who are you, playing tricks on me here in the middle of the night? If I catch you, don't blame me for being rude!"

The coughing stopped, but the knocking on the door continued.

Somehow, Su Sheng suddenly felt a little scared.

Just when he was stunned, the coughing sounded again, as if it was right around him.

He was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He looked around but could not see anyone.

The dogs of several neighboring houses also started barking at the same time.

He suddenly yelled, "Oh my god!"

I quickly ran back to my room, locked the door, and buried myself in the quilt, shivering.

Could it be that the witch really drove ghosts to find them?

He didn't dare to imagine it, and he didn't want it to be true.

That night, there were constant sounds of knocking on the door, coughing, and barking dogs.

Hu Xiumei and Su Sheng were so scared that they couldn't sleep all night.

It wasn't until they heard the rooster crowing the next morning that they finally let go of their worries.

Because they firmly believe that as soon as the sun rises and the rooster crows, no matter how scary the ghosts are, they will leave and they don't have to be afraid anymore.

Su Guangzong slept soundly that night. He put on his clothes and saw that Hu Xiumei had her head covered and had no intention of getting up, so he went forward and pushed Hu Xiumei.

"It's already so late, why don't you get up!"

Only then did Hu Xiumei show her head.

Su Guangzong was startled by Hu Xiumei's dark circles.

"How did you become like this?"

"Old man, there was a ghost last night, didn't you hear it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I think you're more like a ghost! Get up and cook!"

Hu Xiumei didn't want to be scolded by the old man again, so she had to muster up the courage to get dressed.

Su Guangzong shook his head in disgust.

He went to the toilet and came back from the toilet to see that Su Sheng's door was still locked.

He thought Su Sheng was going to be lazy again, so he knocked on the door hard.

"Get up now and do some work in the fields before the sun gets too hot!"
