Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Seeing Zhang Shanyi's indignant look, Jiao Yixue patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"There's nothing we can do about it. Some elderly people have conservative ideas, which is normal."

"What about you guys?" Zhang Shanyi asked.

Xue Xuexue sighed helplessly, "I asked. A few old ladies were playing cards, and I asked them about Xiao Zhang and his mother.

When we asked about Xiao Zhang's mother, she was too lazy to pay attention to us because she was playing cards. She just said things like "She's a nice person, a good old lady", "She's a nice person", "I don't know her very well" and so on to give us a perfunctory answer.

I'll have to work on it again this afternoon to see if there's a breakthrough."

It was obvious that these people would inevitably run into obstacles when trying to get information from strangers.

The elderly are not stupid. They have lived for most of their lives and are not three-year-old children. Who would really say whatever they are asked? Especially since they are strangers, who would gossip and complain to strangers?

"What about you guys?" Xue Xuexue asked Chen Mu.

"Bring some food to the old man later." Chen Mu said as he lowered his head to eat.

"Bringing food to an old man? Will you let him eat if you bring him food? He might look at you like a fool." Zhang Shanyi complained.

"Who knows, maybe I'll meet someone who's easy to talk to." Chen Mu was too lazy to explain too much and just made a joke to get it over with.

If you bring food to a normal old man, he will not appreciate it and may even be afraid to eat it, thinking that the man is sick and is being too attentive.

But it’s different for Uncle He.

Chen Mu still kept in mind the same thing: you have to use methods and means to do things.

"I didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to get a message. This nursing home is not simple." Zhang Shanyi concluded.

After dinner, Chen Mu asked Xiao Shi to pack a portion.

While serving the meal, Chen Mu said to the fat chef with a smile on his face:

"Master, your food is so delicious. Could you please give us some more?"

The chef glanced at the two of them and laughed out loud at being praised for his delicious cooking. "Okay, I'll give you an extra spoonful!"

After finishing the meal, Xiao Shi, holding the full lunch box, couldn't help but say, "Boss, we gave Uncle He so much, can he finish it?"

"Whether he can finish eating is his business. What I care about is making him feel that I am a warm-hearted person." Chen Mu said lightly.

The two of them brought the meal to Uncle He's room.

Uncle He was a little surprised to see the two of them come back so soon.

Compared to asking the caregiver to bring you meals, you usually have to wait for more than an hour before you can eat a meal that is neither cold nor hot.

Chen Mu and the other man were much faster than the nurse.

Xiao Shi put the lunch box on the table. Grandpa He saw that it was full, half more than what the nurse usually gave him.

"Oh, you are really too polite." Uncle He said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Uncle He, don't be polite. It's just a simple thing. Take your time eating, and we'll take you back to the cafeteria after you're done."

Chen Mu said.

The lunch boxes are uniform in the canteen and are not disposable.

Since the lunch box would be delivered after the meal, Chen Mu and the others naturally sat in Uncle He's room and waited while he ate.

Uncle He was eating, and the atmosphere couldn't be dull.

So, while eating, Uncle He started chatting with Chen Mu.

"Were you invited by Dean Qi? What's your name, little brother?"

"Just call me Xiao Chen, and call him Xiao Shi." Chen Mu said politely.

"Hey, Mr. Chen looks very well-spoken and you can tell at a glance that he's a boss. I'll call you Boss Chen."

Uncle He spoke cheerfully. Out of politeness and gratitude for Chen Mu's help, and considering Chen Mu's temperament, he called Chen Mu "Boss Chen".

By some coincidence, he actually called Chen Mu by the right name.

"We are exorcists. We heard that there is a female ghost running rampant here recently, threatening the safety of our clients. So the client asked us to come and help him exorcise the ghost." Chen Mu said.

"Female ghost? Are you referring to Xiao Zhang's mother?"

"Hey? Uncle, you also know about this?" Chen Mu pretended to be surprised, "I thought Dean Qi had blocked the news.

I didn't expect you to be so well-informed, you actually know everything about this."

Hearing Chen Mu praising him for being “well-informed”, Uncle He waved his hands in embarrassment, “How am I well-informed? I’m just an old man.

The main reason is Xiao Zhang’s mother, who has lived in our nursing home for several years. We are all familiar with each other and have played cards together before.

"Xiao Zhang's mother has become a bit of a sly person these days, and the whole nursing home knows about it, pestering Xiao Zhang."

Seeing that they had started talking and finally got to the point, Chen Mu chatted with Uncle He naturally as if they were chatting about family matters.

Chen Mu stood in Xiao Zhang's perspective and said with some dissatisfaction:

"How could Xiao Zhang's mother be like this? She died, but she turned into a ghost and haunted her own child.

It seems like this is the only son his mother has. Just tell me, where in the world can you find parents like this?"

Chen Mu knew that Xiao Zhang was most likely born with a bad temper and the fault was most likely on Xiao Zhang's side.

He deliberately spoke in a sarcastic way, blaming Xiao Zhang's mother in order to arouse Uncle He's desire to refute.

Whenever you refute something, you have to tell the truth.

Uncle He sighed, shook his head and said, "You don't know, but Aunt Zhang is really a very good person.

She used to be a teacher, teaching in an elementary school in the next city. I heard she had produced many talented students.

But when it comes to Xiao Zhang, his own child has not become successful.

This Xiao Zhang was not a good student when he was young. He failed the college entrance examination and then went out to make a living.

To put it nicely, it's called adventuring, to put it bluntly, it means being a drifter and living a life of idleness with others.

Later, I heard from Zhang's mother that Xiao Zhang had become addicted to gambling and was hanging out in casinos with his group of friends.

Zhang's mother wanted to take care of him, but since the child was older and disobedient, she had no other options. Xiao Zhang was obsessed with gambling, and for the better part of six months, he didn't even visit his mother at the nursing home.

After that, when it comes to gambling, nine out of ten times you’ll lose.

Xiao Zhang gambled for half a year and spent all his money, and even owed a lot of gambling debts.

When he ran out of money, he turned his attention to his mother.

He didn’t come to see his mother for most of the previous six months, but in the past year, he has been visiting her every few days.

Every time I come to see it, I have to pay!

His mother started to give him some back and tried to persuade him earnestly.

People who are obsessed with gambling will never listen.

Later on, his mother gradually stopped giving him money. His money was a bottomless pit, and no matter how much she gave him, it would never be filled.

That Xiao Zhang is a bad person. I heard from the people above that he beat his mother because she didn't give him money.

The director and nurse Liu were alarmed at the time, and everyone worked together to stop him.

Just about two weeks ago, Xiao Zhang came to his mother to ask for money again, and the two started arguing.

Xiao Zhang was in the yard, cursing at his mother, calling her an old fool.

What I didn’t expect was that Xiao Zhang’s mother had her birthday a week ago.”
