You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

"Mom, Dadong is digging up other people's graves and exchanging their belongings for money."

Xu Jiatao couldn't help but explain.

Zhang Ju glared at him. "No way? Doesn't he work in the city?"

Du Jie asked: "Is it true? Why haven't we heard about it?"

Huang Shaowei snorted, "He digs it secretly at night and sells it in the city during the day. He doesn't do it in town. Mom, how could you possibly know?"

"I also heard from my fellow villagers that he was seen selling dead people's things in a shop in the city, acting very sneaky."

"After I moved in a few days ago, I secretly asked my eldest uncle about it, but he told me not to tell anyone, so as not to ruin his reputation."

Du Jie thought about it carefully and said, "That's just speculation. We haven't seen it with our own eyes, so let's not talk nonsense."

Huang Shaowei pointed at Su Chen and said, "If it's true, why not just ask your brother-in-law?"

"He has always been very enthusiastic. If Dadong hadn't made a big mistake, how could he not take action?"

Zhang Ju and Du Jie's eyes quickly fell on Su Chen.

Su Chen sighed: "Sometimes digging up people's graves is understandable."

When people are poor, not to mention digging graves, they even resort to cannibalism.

So even if he took something that already belonged to someone else, he could still negotiate with them if he came forward.

"What's wrong is that he not only dug up the grave and took the items, but also abandoned the bones at random."

"Ah? So excessive?" Huang Shaowei couldn't believe it.

Zhang Ju frowned: "This is really heartless."

She quickly turned serious and said, "Achen, please don't help me with this. It will ruin my good deeds if you do."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Old Wu's crying outside gradually stopped, but he was unwilling to give up. He walked to the door and looked at Xu Dasheng pitifully. Xu Dasheng quickly raised his hands to cover his face.

Perhaps knowing the Xu family's attitude, Old Wu left disappointed.

The neighbor came over and asked, "Why did Old Wu come to you? Why are you crying?"

Xu Jiatao waved his hand: "I don't know, he didn't explain it clearly."

How can the neighbors believe it? I have to ask again.

Zhang Ju went over, pushed the person out, slammed the door shut, and turned on the light.

Xu Jiating noticed that Ah Hua was silent and asked, "Sister, you don't want your brother-in-law to save him, do you?"

Ah Hua shook his head: "No."

“I just feel that when you grow up, you become different.”

"We used to go to town together to study, and Dadong would protect us on the way..."

Xu Jiatao curled his lips and said, "Everyone used to say that Dadong was very smart and had good grades. It's a pity that his family didn't have the money to let him continue his studies, otherwise he would definitely be a teacher."

Zhang Ju and Xu Dasheng nodded.

"Old Wu happened to be ill at the time, so where would he get the money?"

"It seems like Dadong served me for half a year, and then he went to pick herbs himself."

So when Old Wu came over to ask for a talisman for Dadong, Xu Dasheng wanted to help without saying a word.

Who knew that Dadong is doing this business now?

A few people sighed for a while, and in the end, out of sight, out of mind, they didn't take the matter to heart.

After Old Wu walked out of the yard, he looked back several times, wiped his eyes and left. However, he had not walked far when he met a few young men carrying snakeskin bags.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun disappeared in the courtyard.

The whole sky became gloomy.

Ahua is leaving.

Before leaving, Zhang Ju cooked five eggs for her.

"Ahua, are you coming back for Qingming?"

Ah Hua shook his head: "Forget about Qingming Festival, come back on July 15th."

"Although you can see me after you put on the talisman, your health will be unlucky for a while, so I can't come back often."

Zhang Ju and the others were a little disappointed when they heard this.

But then I thought, it was impossible to see each other again before, but now, including the Chinese New Year, we can see each other two or three times a year, which is already pretty good.

Even better than when Ahua was still alive.

At that time, she had many children to take care of, so she only went home once a year on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Su Chen sent Ahua back, and when he came back to pick up the child, the sound of chanting scriptures could be heard from Lao Xu's house outside the courtyard.

The invited master knelt there in a wrinkled Taoist robe, flipping through the book and reading it, and it took a long time before he rang the bell.

Su Chen: "..."

In terms of professionalism and aesthetics, no one can compare to Master Cai!

Turning his gaze, he saw the ghost messenger who came to collect souls, and nodded slightly at him.

Then he bent his palm, and the Taoist power that had been released from drawing the talisman was taken back bit by bit.

A young man in the room opened his eyes wide at first, but he quickly wiped them and was stunned when he found that there was nothing in front of him.

"Huh? Where's grandpa?" He bumped the arm of the young man next to him.

"Not there...huh? Gone?"

After searching for a while but failing to find Old Xu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This damn old man is finally willing to leave. Damn it, whoever wants to take care of the funeral can do it. I'm done with it."

"I won't do it either. I didn't take anything from him anyway."

In just a moment, the three young men who were originally mourning passed away, and the master who was chanting the scriptures couldn't help but feel nervous.

With the Xu family doing this, the red envelope... won’t be unavailable, right?

When Su Chen brought Honghong and the others back home, Liu Chunhua and the others had already returned.

"Achen, look at what this is?"

"New household registration book!"

"Hey, your fifth sister has finally been separated."

Su Chen carefully looked at the household registration booklet and quickly returned it to Liu Chunhua. He then looked at Su Xiaozhu and Wu Siwang and asked Liu Chunhua, "Mom, my sister and brother-in-law don't seem to be in a good mood."

"Them~" Liu Chunhua said helplessly, "Awang's younger brother is getting married, and they wanted to attend the wedding, but they were rejected."

"I'm afraid it will affect the baby in my belly."

After hearing what Liu Chunhua said, Su Xiaozhu and Wu Siwang's eyes turned red again.

Su Chen: "..."

"Sister, there's nothing to be sad about. It's a good thing you're not going."

"Besides, if you stay away from the Wu family, it is equivalent to doing good deeds for the Wu family, do you understand?"

Su Xiaozhu wiped her eyes and said, "Achen, I understand. I just... still feel a little uncomfortable."

Liu Chunhua glanced at her sideways and wanted to say something back, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a piece of paper.

"By the way, Ah Chen, this is the detailed list your third sister calculated. All the expenses are listed. Guess what? We didn't lose money on this birthday party. We even have plenty left over."

Su Chen glanced at her and asked, "Third sister didn't pay for it herself, right?"

"She actually thought that it didn't work out," Liu Chunhua said happily, "She said that the big gift money was given by your friends, so the rest of the money is all given to you. She asked if this is okay with you."

"No problem, it's just these gifts at home... Mom and Dad, do you want a share too?"

Liu Chunhua slapped her thigh and said, "Share it. I'll send some to your aunt later, and also to Ah Hu and Ah Tang."

She called Su Xiaozhu and Wu Siwang to help divide it, and the two of them soon immersed themselves in the distribution and forgot their sadness.

By the time Su Chen had delivered all the gifts, it was already past five o'clock.

After dinner, Liu Chunhua asked Su Xiaozhu and Wu Siwang to go to Su Mao's house to rest, and then turned around to ask Su Chen and Ahua how they were doing.

"That's good. Ah Hua carries merits and is very respected over there."

"She was very happy at her parents' home today. She had scallion oil noodles and roasted sweet potatoes. She also said she would go back on July 15th."

Thinking of the cheongsam Ah Hua was wearing, Su Chen paused: "But she doesn't have enough clothes. I'll draw more fashionable styles later."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door.

The one who came was Hu Shiliang.

"Ah Chen, are you free the day after tomorrow?"

Su Chen was curious: "What's the matter, Uncle Liang? Is there something wrong in the village?"

"A boss wants to build a road in the village and wants you to help him figure out how to do it."
