A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Within a few days, the news that the public toilet was haunted spread to several nearby tenements. Almost everyone knew that there was a female ghost who had died unjustly here and was looking for revenge. It was very creepy.

Recently, everyone has been nervous when going to the toilet during the day, not to mention at night. They all put a urinal at home at night.

Nowadays, most people don’t live in spacious houses. The house is small and there are many people in the family. After one night, the smell is so...

It’s so sour and refreshing.

But there's nothing we can do. Compared to having a terrifying affair with a female ghost, everyone is still willing to endure the taste.

It's okay if it's sour, you won't die! That female ghost is here to take my life!

When Yu Junsheng arrived at the office today, his colleagues were actually discussing this matter.

A young man with a crew cut said mysteriously, "Hey, do you know that there's a public toilet over in Xiaohuaihua Hutong that's haunted? It's a ghost of a woman who died unjustly. I heard she's back to seek revenge on the adulterers!"

"Is it true?" Another round-faced boy was skeptical. Why was he so unconvinced?

The young man with the flat head, Sun Zhengye, shook his head and said, "What they said is true. I don't think it's fake."

"I haven't seen what a ghost looks like yet." He really wanted to see it.

A lesbian with short hair and glasses looked up from her book and disagreed, "There are no ghosts in this world. We should believe in science."

Sun Zhengye sneered, "Comrade Zhao Ying, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, okay."

Zhao Ying frowned, but didn't say anything in the end.

Just at this moment, Yu Junsheng arrived. Sun Zhengye's eyes lit up and he waved his hand.

"Hey, Yu Junsheng, you seem to live nearby, right? How's it going? Do you know anything about it?"

Yu Junsheng: “…”

He naturally knows the "inside story" better than anyone else, but can he tell it?

It must not be possible!

So Yu Junsheng smiled awkwardly and said vaguely, "What I heard was what you just said. I slept too soundly that night and didn't hear anything."

Both Sun Zhengye and Yao Qinglin looked disappointed.

Just at this time, Wang Xiaowu arrived, and Sun Zhengye's eyes lit up again.

"Wang Xiaowu, don't you live with Yu Junsheng? Do you know anything about that female ghost?"

Wang Xiaowu's eyes suddenly lit up. He had a lot to say for a long time and was worried that there was no one to talk to. So he immediately started telling all the stories that the aunties in the yard had made up.

Everyone in the office was stunned by what they heard, and it felt like the temperature in the office dropped three degrees in an instant.

Even Zhao Ying felt a little cold.

Sun Zhengye rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and said, "Wow, that sounds creepy!"

He was scared for a moment, then curiously asked, "Who do you think those two bastards are? Can that female ghost take revenge?"

Wang Xiaowu looked helpless. "Well, the aunties in our yard have been analyzing it all morning, but they can't figure it out!"

Yao Qinglin stroked his chin and pondered, "I'm just curious how that adulterous couple was discovered, and how they killed that female ghost?"

Yu Junsheng: “…”

The corner of Yu Junsheng's mouth twitched. What about the female ghost's revenge and the adulterous affair? He spoke like it was real.

When it comes to gossiping, these people are just as good as the aunties in the courtyard.

The two men were still huddled together, analyzing the situation in whispers, when suddenly they heard a shout:

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of place is this? Is it even allowed to discuss this? You're insulting science and disrespecting our work! How can you still do research with people like you?!"

Section Chief Liao stood at the office door with a dark face, staring at them with eyes as sharp as knives.

Everyone's necks shrank and they stopped talking.

Yao Qinglin and Wang Xiaowu lowered their heads, pretending they didn't exist.

Sun Zhengye's face froze. He was the one who brought up this topic. He felt that Chief Liao's words were directed at him, and his face was burning.

Section Chief Liao's eyes swept around the office and finally fell on Yu Junsheng, and his expression eased a little.

"Yu Junsheng, come with me to the office."

Yu Junsheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately quickened his pace to catch up.

The others looked at each other.

The department is currently preparing a new project and is said to be planning to select one or two newcomers to help.

Because not only is the bonus very substantial, it is also very helpful for future promotion, all the newcomers hope to be selected.

At this time, Section Chief Liao asked Yu Junsheng to come into the office to talk alone. The reason was self-evident.

Sun Zhengye's face darkened.

……

Section Chief Liao really wanted to talk to Yu Junsheng about joining the project. Even though Yu Junsheng had some guesses before, he was overjoyed to hear the news.

After get off work at noon, he went back to the compound to tell Cheng Jiajia the good news.

It’s good news, so of course I should share it with my family to make me happier.

It was too late for lunch, so he just made a simple meal. Cheng Jiajia promised to make him a big meal in the evening to celebrate.

The two were eating when an uninvited guest came to their house.

"Hey, are you guys eating?"

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Jiang Qiubai also knew that he was not welcome, so he stood at the door with an awkward smile, trying to smooth things over on his own.

"Xiao Cheng, I didn't mean to disturb your meal. It's just that you and your wife are both very busy people. You can only be seen in the morning, noon and evening. I want to see you and can only come at this time. Please don't mind."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the corner to the right of the main room door.

After several days of observation, and after asking around in the yard intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Qiubai finally confirmed that the shoe rack in the Yu family was made of black wood strips taken from the scrap yard.

Why are the few sticks I bought all made of cement?

Maybe it’s because the gold had already been taken away by Yu Junsheng and the other guy!

Jiang Qiubai felt that his guess was very reasonable.

The problem now is how to get that thing over here.

She discussed it with Brother Haiyang and felt that stealing or robbing it was not reliable. Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia were as cunning as monkeys, and they had no guarantee that they would not be discovered by them.

Then you can only... pay for it!

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Jiang Qiubai gritted his teeth, suppressed the pain in his heart, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Xiao Cheng, this shoe rack in your house is really beautiful. Where did you make it?"

I'm coming!

Cheng Jiajia is ready to go.

A few days ago, Yu Junsheng took the time to make a shoe rack, and Cheng Jiajia deliberately placed the thing in the most conspicuous place at the door of the main hall, ensuring that people outside could see it at a glance.

After all, so many people in the yard saw her and Yu Junsheng coming in with the black wooden stick that day, and it would sooner or later reach Jiang Qiubai's ears. In this case, instead of waiting for her to come home to test it, it would be better to put it out in the open.

Who knows, maybe I can make some extra money.

Yesterday, when Cheng Jiajia saw Jiang Qiubai glancing towards her living room intentionally or unintentionally, she knew that the fish was about to take the bait!

Sure enough, this person came over impatiently at noon today.

What's this nice looking shoe rack?

Yu Junsheng knew that this thing would not stay in his home for long, so he didn't put much effort into making it.

When there is not enough wood, just chop it with the firewood in the kitchen. The result is that the black and the original wood color complement each other.

Can’t say it’s ugly… I can only say it’s ugly in a unique way.

Even Cheng Jiajia, who had a ten-level filter for Yu Junsheng, couldn't say a word about this ugly thing. It was really hard for Jiang Qiubai.

Cheng Jiajia tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart. Just wait and see, if she doesn't give a hard time to Zheng Haiyang and Jiang Qiubai, the two male and female protagonists in the original book who "broke the bottom line of morality and loved each other to death", she would not be named Cheng!

Sure enough, Jiang Qiubai asked expectantly,

"My family needs one, but the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have one. Can you sell this to me?"

"I'm not selling it."

"How much...w-what?!" Jiang Qiubai couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Why don't you sell it?"

It's such an ugly thing, she's lucky she's willing to spend money to buy it. It's fine if Cheng Jiajia doesn't just deliver the thing quickly, but why doesn't she sell it?

Cheng Jiajia glanced at Yu Junsheng and her face immediately became full of affection, like a young girl in love.

She shyly replied, "My husband Junsheng made this especially for me. Every screw and every wooden strip in it is filled with his love for me. It's a symbol of our love! It's extremely important to me, and I plan to pass it down to my grandchildren. So, I can't sell it!"

Jiang Qiubai: "..."

Jiang Qiubai's face turned green.

Bah! You're passing down a shabby shoe rack to your grandchildren!

Does this ugly thing deserve it!?

But no matter how ugly this thing is, she must get it.

Jiang Qiubai suppressed his nausea and said, "Xiao Cheng, I know you treasure the things Yu Junsheng made for you. How about this? You sell this to me and I'll have him make you a new one. As long as he made it himself, it's filled with his feelings for you, and it's the same."

Cheng Jiajia stamped her feet shyly. "How can it be the same? This is the first time he made something with his own hands. It has a different meaning!"

After saying that, Cheng Jiajia quickly covered her mouth with her hand and turned her face away quietly, Yue...

Yu Junsheng's eyelids twitched. It's over, it's over. My wife, if you continue to act, it will be fake!

Then, he also said, "That's right! This shoe rack is a token of love I gave to my wife. It is very commemorative and cannot be sold!"

Jiang Qiubai: "..."

Jiang Qiubai didn't understand and was deeply shocked.

Just this, this ugly thing, and it's called a token of love?!

Her face twisted uncontrollably, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Yu Junsheng was filled with contempt.

Bah! This thief is really stingy, he only knows how to use sweet words to deceive the little girl!

Fortunately, I didn’t marry him!

Jiang Qiubai glanced at Cheng Jiajia, who seemed to be immersed in girlish fantasies, with an indescribable look.

I really didn't realize that Cheng Jiajia usually looks smart, but is so stupid when it comes to men?

If anyone gave her such a piece of rubbish as a token of love, she would tell them to get away!

But it’s none of her business!

Anyway, she doesn't like Cheng Jiajia, so just let her continue to be stupid!

Jiang Qiubai prepared himself mentally again and again before speaking again:

"Xiao Cheng, don't think like that. This shoe rack will always be just a shoe rack if it's kept at home. If you sell it to me, I can get some money. Wouldn't that make it more valuable? It would be almost the same if I asked Yu Junsheng to make one for you personally. It would be full of his feelings for you."

Without waiting for Cheng Jiajia to refuse, she took Cheng Jiajia's hand and begged:

"Xiao Cheng, I have a big family, and the house has been very messy these days. I really need this shoe rack to put my shoes on. Otherwise, my mother-in-law will definitely scold me when she comes back and sees me."

"You also know my mother-in-law. She is not only vicious in words, but she also beats people. Xiao Cheng, just do me a favor and sell this to me." At the end, Jiang Qiubai even sobbed.
