The villagers had no sympathy for the fact that the Su family's old house was haunted and they were scared half to death and had to find a fortune teller to exorcise the ghost.

Everyone agreed that it was because the Su family had done too many evil things that the gods were angered and punished.

The villagers talked about it with great relish, and they were willing to bring it up and talk about it in their spare time after dinner.

The rumors about this matter became more and more outrageous, and in the end some people even said that Su Sheng had slept with a bat spirit. The Bat Family was not happy about this and came to ask for an explanation.

Zhao Wanzhu felt relieved after hearing this, so she told Su Xiaoxiao all the different versions of the story she had heard from outside. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Deserve it!"

She was right in doing all this.

She wanted to teach the people in the old house a profound lesson, leaving them with serious psychological trauma, and make them deeply understand that those who harm others will be punished.

The reason why there were knocking sounds and dog barking at night was because Su Xiaoxiao secretly smeared eel blood on the door of the old house.

When the dogs nearby smell this smell, they will bark non-stop. Bats also like this smell so they will keep banging against the door, making it sound like someone is knocking on the door.

Because it was too dark at night, the people in the old house could not find the bats when they went to open the door, so they mistakenly thought it was a ghost knocking on the door.

If a bat hits the door too hard, it will die, and the next morning, its body will be found at the door.

Bats are considered unlucky in people's minds, making them more likely to be associated with ghosts.

As for the coughing sounds in the yard, it was because Su Xiaoxiao caught two hedgehogs and fed them sugar water.

When a hedgehog drinks sugar water, it will make a human coughing sound. If you don’t know, you might really think someone is coughing.

If several situations happen at the same time in the middle of the night, even those who don't believe in ghosts and gods will be scared to death and change their views, believing that ghosts and gods still exist in this world.

Zhao Wanzhu looked at Su Xiaoxiao smiling so happily, and thought of seeing Su Xiaoxiao going out two nights ago, and probably guessed something.

She couldn't help laughing, pointing at Su Xiaoxiao and asking, "Is it you?"

"Mom, see through it but don't say it!"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, saying no more.

After this incident, the Su family's old house became completely quiet, and they were able to stay at home without leaving.

On this day, Su Xiaoxiao was selling hot dry noodles at her stall as usual. Lan Ling brought her maid Xiaotao to Su Xiaoxiao's stall.

Su Xiaoxiao was very surprised to see Lan Ling. She asked Lan Ling while serving hot dry noodles to customers.

"Why is my sister here?"

Lan Ling walked up to Su Xiaoxiao and pretended to be angry.

"Sis doesn't come to play with me, so I have to come to her on my own initiative!"

Listening to the resentful words, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.

"My dear sister, I want to play with you too, but I'm always busy and can't get away. I'm sorry!"

Lan Ling raised her eyebrows. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm a beautiful and kind-hearted sister, and I can sympathize with your difficulties. Forget it, forget it, you don't have to blame yourself."

"Thank you so much, sister!"

Su Xiaoxiao replied to Lan Ling and continued to work.

Lan Ling sat on a small cart nearby and said, "Then I'll wait here until you finish selling."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Sister, are you really here to play with me?"

"Of course!"

Su Xiaoxiao said a little embarrassedly: "I have to go find a shop later, so I may not be able to accompany my sister!"

"Looking for a shop? What for?"

"I want to rent a shop!"

Lan Ling finally realized, "It's really not a good idea to always open a stall. So, sister, have you found a shop you like?"

"Not yet, so after I sell the hot dry noodles, I'll go look for it."

Lan Ling was just about to say that her grandfather had several shops and Su Xiaoxiao could choose any of them, or even give them to her for free.

But she thought that if she gave it to Su Xiaoxiao directly, she might not accept it given her personality. She thought about it and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Since Sister is still busy, I won't bother you. I'll play with Sister next time."

"it is good!"

After Lan Ling left, Brother Bao came over.

He didn't hear what the two said, but he was full of curiosity as he looked in the direction Lan Ling left.

"Little sister, when did you get to know this rich girl?"

"Brother Bao knows Sister Ling'er?"

"No, no, no, I don't know her, but she's dressed so well that I can tell she's either wealthy or noble. I didn't expect a little girl like me to be so familiar with this young lady!"

If the two people don’t have a good relationship, how could they call each other “sister”!

"Oh, I know him occasionally."

Su Xiaoxiao did not tell the real reason why she met Lan Ling.

Although she saved Lan Ling, she didn't want to spread the news, especially since she also got corresponding benefits.

She has always adhered to one point: no matter what she does, it is always better to keep a low profile.

This made Brother Bao feel very uncomfortable.

He lives in the county town and has been selling things at this market for many years, but he has never met such a noble person like Su Xiaoxiao.

He couldn't help but sigh at Su Xiaoxiao's good luck.

What he admired more was Su Xiaoxiao's low-key personality and her never-showy nature.

Such noble qualities are really rare, and he became more and more determined to marry Su Xiaoxiao.

He thought that if he sold more buns and saved more money, he would ask his parents to come and propose marriage.

He knew Su Xiaoxiao's family situation. If possible, he was willing to move out and live alone with Su Xiaoxiao, and then bring Su Xiaoxiao's family from the countryside to the county town to live together.

Thinking about the scene of living with Su Xiaoxiao in the future, a blush appeared on his dark face again.

It’s just that Su Xiaoxiao, who was busy selling hot dry noodles, didn’t notice it.

She sold all the hot dry noodles and pushed her cart to continue looking for a shop.

Not far from the market, she saw a shop with a notice for rent posted on the door.

She froze for a moment.

She passed by here every day, but she had never seen any notice posted by this calligraphy and painting shop.

Was she dazzled and didn't notice?

Or is it just a coincidence that this store is for rent today?

This store has an excellent location. It would be perfect if we could rent it.

She was a little excited and pushed the cart over.

When I walked into the store, there was only one person at the counter.

The man was wearing a long robe, was tall, about forty years old, and looked very upright. He was holding an account book and an abacus, as if he was doing some accounting.

The shopkeeper greeted someone warmly when he saw them coming in.

"What would you like to buy, sir?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is this shop for rent?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, girl, do you want to rent a shop?"

"Yes, sir, can I have a look at the shop?"

"Please!"

The shopkeeper was very nice and allowed Su Xiaoxiao to check the shop in the front and back yards.

Su Xiaoxiao walked around the shop and looked carefully.

The shop's front hall was big enough, the kitchen was not small either, there was a well in the backyard, and there were two rows of houses for living. It was her ideal shop.

She returned to the front hall and asked, "Excuse me, sir, how much is the rent for this shop?"
