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

All three baskets were filled to the brim, with one still having some space left.

Su Chen simply picked up Acai and put him inside.

"Acai, hold on to the basket tightly, don't fall down."

The 5-year-old Acai is still very short, so it is quite suitable for him to sit inside with his little hands on the basket.

Ah Liang supported him from the side: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm looking after Ah Cai."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhao Dongsheng touched his nose when he saw them going up the mountain.

The master is really reserved.

I want to choose but I won't let my brother-in-law choose it.

No, the master must be feeling sorry for himself.

That’s right, the master was definitely tired after driving all day and needed to rest.

That's it!

Jiang Wanshui slaughters pigs and carries pork all year round, so it is easy for him to carry these New Year's goods, including clothes, even when going up the mountain.

We started chatting as soon as we got on the road, and the first person I asked was Aliang.

"Ah Liang, are you going to the city with your uncle to set up a stall today?"

"Uncle, my uncle didn't set up a stall today. We went to Licheng."

"Why are you going to Licheng?"

Ah Liang said nothing, Su Chen smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go to Licheng to move the grave."

"Moving graves? Ah Chen, you can move graves? This is something only a master chef can do."

These words are full of warning.

It was a reminder to Su Chen that if he didn't have the skills, he should never take on such a job.

Tombs are very important to ordinary people. If there is any mistake, it will cause a big uproar later.

Ah Liang defended him: "Uncle, my uncle is much better than the master. He can cut paper figures, and the paper figures can even move. Also, he can tell where the body is buried just by using the eight characters. And more..."

His eyes lit up: "Uncle can jump three or four meters, super amazing."

Jiang Wanshui: “…”

Could it be that this nephew has learned the bragging skill from Ah Chen after spending just one day with him?

That's right, even though he had vaguely heard about Lao Cui's family, Jiang Wanshui still couldn't believe that his brother-in-law could be so powerful. At most, he was just good at fortune-telling?

So when Aliang said this, he believed it half a bit.

Seeing that he was silent, Aliang wanted to explain, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't think of how to say it, so he scratched his head in anxiety.

Su Chen spoke.

"Brother-in-law, when are you and my sister going to the city to look at houses?"

Jiang Wanshui thought to himself: See, see, they are definitely afraid that I will expose their bragging, so they changed the subject.

He didn't insist anymore and smiled: "I'll go the day after tomorrow. I'll just go take a look first and buy something if I find something suitable."

"I also went to see a house today. It's nice, but it's too expensive."

"Expensive? How much? Where is it from?"

"At the bottom of the slope, it's 25,000. Even a 1,000 or 2,000 won't do."

"Twenty-five thousand?!" Jiang Wanshui shrieked. "No, the place at the bottom of the slope isn't good either. Why is it so expensive?"

Su Chen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe because there are construction projects everywhere in Cuicheng now, I heard that some houses that were demolished received a lot of compensation. With the rising prices, they think their own house is good."

Jiang Wanshui fell silent.

He and Su Xiaoyan had been working day and night to save money over the years, but they had only saved about 18,000 yuan so far. They thought that if they could save a little more to 20,000 yuan by the New Year, they could buy a house in the city. But after hearing this, he guessed that they would have to buy a house in the suburbs.

This is how to do?

He walked forward, carrying the basket in a muffled voice. Su Chen's voice followed behind him: "Brother-in-law, I thought about it later and I'm afraid I can't afford a good house, so I asked a friend to keep an eye out for haunted houses. He said he knew of two. Go back and talk to my third sister and see if she wants any."

Jiang Wanshui paused and looked back in surprise.

"A haunted house? The kind where someone dies?"

"Yes." Su Chen added, "To be precise, several groups of people died."

Jiang Wanshui's face was almost shaking like a rattle.

"That's not possible, absolutely not possible. How can you survive if you live there?"

As he said this, he persuaded her again: "Achen, you can't buy this haunted house. This kind of thing is not a joke."

"Brother-in-law, no matter how vicious the thing inside is, I can take it away and change the feng shui later. Don't worry, there will be a whole family living here, and I won't joke with the lives of my family members."

That’s true, but will it be useful? I haven’t even seen that thing, so who knows if you really received it?

Jiang Wanshui asked himself if he had a hundred guts and he wouldn't dare to stay there. After Su Chen persuaded him twice, he just shook his head.

Seeing this, Su Chen no longer insisted.

The people in Cuicheng are quite superstitious. Indeed, everyone believes that living in an unlucky house is a taboo, so there is no need for him to force others to buy one.

If I can’t persuade him, I won’t try anymore.

Unexpectedly, after returning to Niuwei Village, Jiang Wanshui pulled Old Man Su aside and whispered to him, reminding him in every word to persuade his brother-in-law not to buy a haunted house.

Old Man Su was stunned for a long time and didn't even have the energy to eat.

After Jiang Wanshui came down the mountain, he hurriedly pulled Su Chen aside and asked, "Why are you buying a haunted house?"

"What haunted house?" Liu Chunhua was curious.

Ah Hu and Ah Tang, who were tying the cart, also looked up.

My third brother-in-law is such a big sieve!

Su Chen sighed, told the story, and finally said: "The haunted house is much cheaper than an ordinary house. We can buy more things with the money we save. It's good."

"Third brother-in-law doesn't know my ability and is worrying for nothing."

Old Man Su pondered.

Liu Chunhua rolled her eyes and slapped her thigh: "Oh, Ah Chen, this is a good idea. Then we can buy a special haunted house, capture the creatures inside and give it to your eldest brother and fourth brother to live in. From now on, we will all be city dwellers!"

Old Man Su glanced at her with disdain.

"If they go to the city, what will happen to the land at home? Who will farm it?"

"Also, are they capable of finding work in the city? A-De can, but he's not very skilled. But what about A-Mao? He only knows how to dig in the fields. Can he work in the city?"

Liu Chunhua was stunned and sighed.

"Well, that's true."

Su Chen laughed: "Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. My friends have said that these houses can cause the deaths of several groups of people and finally no one dares to live in them. They have been abandoned for decades. He only knows two of them, not that many."

"Besides, everyone knows I have this ability. If we go back to buy it, will they still sell it to you at a low price? The price has already increased."

"I originally told my third sister's husband that my third sister was planning to buy a house in the city, and I was worried that they wouldn't have enough money to buy a good location, which would make it inconvenient for Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan to go to and from school."

"Since Third Brother-in-law is so taboo, we can just buy it ourselves."

"I estimate that the two sets will cost about 15,000 yuan. After I collect the things and hire someone to repair them, I'll see if I can move in after the New Year."

"When it's done, I'll take you and my parents to check it out and see if it's comfortable. You guys are the most experienced."

After hearing this, Old Man Su felt relieved.

He lived to be sixty years old and had eaten more salt than these boys had eaten rice.

If there is something wrong, it will definitely be discovered.

Liu Chunhua had the same idea and nodded repeatedly, smiling happily.

"It's all good, Ah Chen, I'm relieved that you can handle this. But this dress... don't buy so many next time. If someone doesn't know you, they'd think you're selling wholesale."

"Children grow up quickly. You don't need to buy clothes for Yueyue and Acai. They can just wear their older brothers and sisters' clothes. It's a waste."
