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

They say poverty breeds treachery, while wealth breeds conscience.

More than ten years ago, Zhang Yaozu and his parents were still on good terms. At that time, his grandparents were still alive and were in charge of the family. They were frugal and had plans.

Ever since the old man passed away, the family had no restrictions and were all enjoyable people. At that time, most people in the village only bought meat once every two or three months, but in their family, the aroma of meat wafted every few days, making the children very greedy.

The family didn't have much money to begin with, and with such spending, even when Zhang Yaozu was old, his family was still extremely poor and couldn't even borrow a few hundred yuan for the betrothal gift.

Zhang Yaozu had no money and could not get married, so the villagers couldn't help but point fingers at him. No one knew when the Zhang family started to become extreme.

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt a headache for Hu Shiliang.

Liu Chunhua sighed for a while before saying, "That's why I said you should look for a few matchmakers in advance, choose a good one, and get in touch with her more often. If there's a down-to-earth and hardworking girl who comes back, get her chosen for your nephew as soon as possible and let them save up the money for the betrothal gift in advance. It's better than being cheated out of money like this."

Su Chen nodded subconsciously, but felt something was wrong.

At this moment, little Ayun in his arms saw that the noodles were hot and reached out to eat them, and Su Chen's attention was immediately diverted.

"Ayun wants to eat too?"

"what!"

Liu Chunhua hugged little Ayun and said, "Achen, you eat yours. If Ayun wants to eat, I'll ask Qiyue to feed her later."

July... Hello?

As soon as Su Chen frowned, Liu Chunhua knew what he wanted to say and explained.

"Fangfang said earlier that adults shouldn't chew food that children are feeding themselves. They say it's because they're afraid of bacteria and it's unhygienic anyway."

"I just thought, we are unhygienic, so July and the others are paper figures, so they shouldn't be, right?"

Su Chen gave a thumbs up.

After stealing a half-day of leisure, Su Chen waited for little Ayun to fall asleep again and went to the basement to accompany Acai and Yueyue to study.

The two little guys have been taken care of by their older brother and sister recently, and they are very interested in learning. Acai is holding the pencil tip and writing crookedly, and Yueyue is also writing, but because she is younger, her concentration is not as strong, so she started to draw small flowers while writing.

A paper man sat quietly beside them, watching them.

Seeing Su Chen coming down, the two of them immediately surrounded him. Yueyue showed off the flowers she had drawn, while Acai held up the book and pointed at the words: "Dad, how do you read this?"

Su Chen flipped through the book, which was a collection of poems.

"Where did you get this book?"

Yueyue answered quickly: "Sister~"

Ah Cai nodded: "My sister saved up money to buy it."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know how much it cost?"

They both shook their heads.

Su Chen didn't ask any more questions and began to teach the two little guys to recite poems.

When Liu Chunhua ran down, Yueyue was imitating Acai and reciting poems with her head shaking.

Su Chen turned his head: "Mom, someone is coming?"

"Only one person came," Liu Chunhua waved her hand, "your uncle Shiliang called you, probably about Yaozu's matter."

Liu Chunhua couldn't help muttering as she went upstairs.

"I told the old man before that your uncle Sera couldn't hold on."

"He's going to town soon. Regardless of whether he's right or not, he probably won't be able to go up if the situation gets too serious."

"If I can get a job as an official in town, I'll definitely pay you some money. I guess I'll have to borrow money from you."

Su Chen frowned.

"Not really, right? Uncle Liang can't even come up with two or three thousand."

Liu Chunhua waved her hand: "Who knows? Anyway, if he wants to borrow money from you, as long as it's not much, just lend it to him, and he will definitely pay it back."

"I know."

When he answered the phone in the living room, Hu Shiliang didn't say he wanted to borrow money, but was talking about road construction from the city to the town.

"The slope at Hutouwan is too steep, so they decided to turn around and go up."

"There was no sign of a grave there, but as we dug, we found bones."

"If we encounter something like this, we should just buy an urn and bury it somewhere else."

Su Chen asked: "What happened?"

Hu Shiliang sighed, "It's not really an accident. There's no blood, and no one's dead. It's just that the workers are getting feverish and sweating, so they can't start working."

"They didn't think about the grave originally. It was the foreman who came to us to drink and complain and started talking about it. We just guessed, but we're not sure."

"Achen, if you have time, come and take a look?"

There must be emptiness.

Su Chen counted on his fingers and said, "I'll go to Hutouwan after dinner to take a look."

Hu Shiliang breathed a sigh of relief.

When Su Chen asked about Yao Zu's matter, he sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with me. Don't worry. Besides, if the scammer is caught, the money can be recovered."

Su Chen was puzzled: "Didn't he run far?"

"I just don't understand," Hu Shiliang explained. "This gang is organized. Several families in other villages were also deceived. They agreed to run away together."

"Isn't the road from here to the city under construction? They were stopped at night, so they ran towards Shuitou Town."

"It's very strange. The people and the car didn't even reach Shuitou Town. I don't know if the car overturned and fell into the river. We are now checking along the road."

Su Chen nodded: "If we can catch it, it will save us a lot of trouble."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen met several pairs of eager eyes.

"Hey, Chunhua, this is your youngest son, right? He looks so handsome. If you hadn't told me, who would have known that he already has five children?"

"Isn't it? But what's five kids? He can make money. Look at this big house. He earned it all. He's very capable."

"You're right, Chunhua, your son looks like you. When you were young, you must have been a great beauty."

These few words made Liu Chunhua smile from ear to ear.

Su Chen's heart was pounding.

Before they had time to think about it, Liu Chunhua came over while July was pouring tea for them.

"Ah Chen, let's quickly see which one is reliable and choose one."

"Otherwise, I would feel very uncomfortable if I heard these words every day."

Su Chen couldn't help laughing.

The next moment, his ears were gently twisted: "What are you laughing at? Look quickly!"

The three matchmakers in front of me were all in their fifties or sixties. They were all dressed decently, smiling and wearing gold and silver jewelry.

Su Chen quietly observed their faces.

The one on the left has a slightly darker complexion, prominent cheekbones, and a slightly crooked nose. He is a calculating person.

The one in the middle is an honest person, but his eyebrows are a little sparse, he is impulsive and brainless.

On the right...

Just as Su Chen was squinting his eyes to take a closer look while drinking tea, he saw a head popping out from behind her, with a gray face and empty eyes, staring at him intently.

Someone’s killed?

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and put down the teacup.

The three matchmakers were already talking enthusiastically to Liu Chunhua about the grandson they wanted to introduce.

When they heard that one was only 17 and the other was 16, the three of them frowned.

"Chunhua, your grandsons are still studying, right? Why are you so anxious to find them partners?"

Liu Chunhua chuckled: "How can we not be anxious? There are too few good girls. We have to grab them in advance."

"Besides, the bride price is getting higher every year. If we can settle it earlier, we might be able to save a lot of money on the bride price."

The three matchmakers nodded in agreement at this.

Seeing this, Liu Chunhua leaned slightly towards Su Chen: "How is it? Which one is reliable?"

Su Chen: "None of them are very reliable, and one of them even killed someone."

Liu Chunhua was startled and couldn't help but stand up: "...Ah?"
