Being teased in front of everyone, Old Lady Jiang was naturally unhappy. After a light snort, she feigned anger and said, "You little naughty boy, you dare to make fun of your grandmother, don't you?"

Jiang Fugui quickly denied: "No, no, I wouldn't dare! I'm just worried about my grandmother!"

"Humph! You're just... so smooth-talking! You can turn black into white!"

"Hey, no!"

After an incense stick of time, the horses of the Jiang family were fed and all the things were packed. The steward came to ask Old Lady Jiang whether they could set off.

Seeing that the sun was not shining, Old Lady Jiang nodded. If they set off early, they could enjoy the fresh mountain air after the rain.

After leaving the charity cemetery, Jiang Fugui first helped Old Lady Jiang onto the carriage, and then she took a bag of silver coins from Shantu's hand.

Walking up to Tang Zhou, Jiang Fugui took her hand, placed the bag of change in her hand, and said with a smile, "Grandma Tang Zhou, this is the forty taels of silver we agreed on when you stayed overnight yesterday. Please accept it."

Tang Zhou was blind. When she raised her head to "look" at Jiang Fugui, her two lifeless eyes were really scary.

But Jiang Fugui had seen more terrifying things, so at this moment she did not feel that Tang Zhou's eyes would make her feel uncomfortable or scared.

Tang Zhou held the bag of silver and didn't refuse. She lowered her voice and asked carefully, "Miss, I have some doubts in my heart. I hope you can help me solve them."

Jiang Fugui knew what Tang Zhou wanted to ask, so he didn't intend to hide it: "Mrs. Tang Zhou, please ask."

"They must have come to cause trouble last night, didn't they? In the past, they would never give up until they had driven people away in panic. So, I guess it was you who did it, right?"

"Well, they were here, but it was okay."

Tang Zhou was startled and asked again, "Miss, aren't you afraid?"

"They're all pretty cute, not scary."

Jiang Fugui said it casually and lightly, saying that he had simply repaired their coffins, changed their clothes, and left them some silver ingots.

They are just trivial matters that are not worth mentioning.

"Huh?" Tang Zhou couldn't believe it, her doubts growing even stronger. "They didn't threaten you? Usually, burning incense and paper didn't work, and they still scared passersby almost crazy!"

"Maybe it's because of the promise I made to them... Then, they didn't scare us..."

Now, it was Tang Zhou's turn to be horrified. "Miss! How can you easily make a promise to a ghost or god? If you make a promise and then fail to keep it, you will be entangled in karma and end up dead or injured! Miss, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but what did you promise to them?"

Jiang Fugui waved his hand, not taking the promise seriously: "What I promised them is just a small thing. After I finish my work, I will send someone to the charity cemetery to perform a ritual for them to help them reincarnate into a new life."

When Tang Zhou heard this, she thought it was really a small matter and not difficult to handle.

After a long sigh of relief, Tang Zhou said to Jiang Fugui with lingering fear: "Next time, Miss, please don't make promises easily..."

"It's okay... They're not bad people! They've just lived in this charity cemetery for so long that they've treated it like their home and want to protect it."

"Yes, but no matter what, the young lady is kind and compassionate and loves them."
