Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

"Winter is almost here, and it's too late to plant sorghum and rice now. I need to clear an acre of land to plant cabbage and radishes to get through the winter. I also need to chop more firewood."

"We can dig the cellar later. There's no rush."

Boss Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, we all know this."

The others nodded. The coming of winter was no joke. If they didn't prepare enough food, they would definitely not have a good New Year.

Seeing that they had a plan in mind, Old Lady Liu was very pleased and talked about the banquet three days later.

The family sat in the living room discussing the banquet three days later.

Finally, eight dishes were decided: braised pork elbow, braised pork belly with sauerkraut, meatballs, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried yam with black fungus, braised lamb, boiled chicken, and stir-fried vegetables. Shen Chulan would be the chef, Ye Wan would help, the third daughter-in-law would make the fire, and the rest of the people would entertain the guests in the yard.

After the discussion, the family washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The villagers from more than 50 households in Lihua Village stayed up all night watching what was happening at the Yuan family's house. This is a haunted house!

In the middle of the night, Yaoyao opened her eyes. Xiao Hei's snow-white fur emitted a white glow in the moonlight. He stood by the bed and looked at Yaoyao on the bed, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Beside him were the sleeping Yuan Laoer and Shen Chulan.

Seeing Yaoyao open her eyes, he gently held Yaoyao in his mouth and walked out of the house.

Several weasels crawled into the huge yard. Just as they were about to open their mouths to squeak, they saw a tall white tiger with snow-white hair coming out with a baby in its mouth. The weasels' voices were stuck in their throats, and they tilted their heads and looked at them with puzzled eyes.

How come the house looks so different while they're away?

Xiao Hei put Yaoyao on the ground. Yaoyao turned around and looked at the weasel in the yard who was standing up and looking at her. Its round body turned over with great effort, and the chubby cheeks kept making "DuangDuang" sounds as it moved, and then it revealed a fierce expression.

The chubby little paws slapped the ground hard.

"Ahhhh!"

This is my house, get out!

When the weasel heard this, he got angry. They said, "First come, first served. They have lived here for more than 20 years. What you say is yours is yours, right?"

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

"Ah! Ahhhhh! Eeyah!"

"Squeak!"

......

One man and a group of rats cursed each other in the yard for half an hour. The fight was fierce. Baby Language and Rat Language were arguing with each other. Xiao Hei put his head on his front paws to watch the fun.

Unfortunately, Yaoyao only has one mouth, and there are several weasels on the opposite side, and she can't win even if she scolds them.

Yaoyao was so angry that she took out a bottle of spirit gathering pill from the space and threw it at the rats.

“Ah! Ahhhhhh!”

Here! Consider this Spirit Gathering Pill as compensation for you!

The chubby lotus root-like hand pointed toward the door, revealing the pink gums.

"Zhizhizhi?"

what is this?

One of the weasels moved its nose, stretched out its paw to pick up the bottle on the ground and opened the cork. When it smelled the rich spiritual energy inside, its small eyes lit up.

The other weasels naturally smelled the spiritual energy and approached the bottle.

"Squeak!"

Then let you live here!

They are not stupid, they can still tell what is useful to them.

The weasel climbed up the wall with the medicine bottle and left.

Xiao Hei laughed happily at the side, "Why give them pills when you can obviously chase them away?"

Yaoyao was already tired after lying on the ground for so long. She rolled her eyes at Xiao Hei and said, "If there hadn't been a weasel living here that made the villagers think it was haunted, do you think this yard would have fallen on us?"

"This Spirit Gathering Pill is a thank you gift for them guarding this yard for so long. If the weasels hold a grudge and I forcibly drive them away, I'm afraid my family will be in turmoil. Besides, these weasels are intelligent, so it's best not to provoke them."

When the family opens the door in the morning, they will see weasel feces all over the floor. It’s okay if it happens once or twice, but who can stand it if it happens every day?

Xiao Hei laughed a few times, "Who told you to steal the golden pagoda of the old Emperor of Heaven? Now you have become a human cub who can't take care of himself."

Yaoyao rubbed Xiao Hei with her chubby hands several times. Of course, for Xiao Hei, this was just a tickle.

"I'm tired and need to sleep!"

Xiao Hei resigned himself to his fate and carried Yaoyao back to the house.

.....

The next day, the Yuan family got busy as soon as they got up.

We moved in in a hurry yesterday and there were still many things that were not cleaned up, especially the wooden boards on the roof which were a bit rotten. Yuan Lao Da and Yuan Lao San went up the mountain to select wood.

A few children went up the mountain with the children in the village to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.

Ye Wan and Old Lady Liu washed the rice jar they bought yesterday and placed it in the yard to bask in the sun. When the time comes, they will put all the food they bought in the rice jar to prevent rats from disturbing them.

Fortunately, there is a well in the kitchen yard, which makes washing clothes and cooking very convenient. There is no need to fetch water from the well at the entrance of the village, which is far and tiring.

Last night, the villagers watched the Yuan family from inside their houses until late at night, but they did not hear any ghost screams coming from the Lin family courtyard.

At this time, a group of intelligence personnel gathered under a tree at the entrance of the village.

"Strange, did you hear any noise coming from the Lin family last night?"

"No."

"That's really strange. We could hear ghost cries coming from inside every night before. How come there were no ghost cries the night the Yuan family bought the house and moved in?"

"Could it be that the abundance of male descendants in the Yuan family has suppressed the ghosts?"

"I think it's possible."

"It seems that having a male child in the family is still a good thing. The strong yang energy can suppress those ghosts."

.....

These villagers will never know that there is a group of weasels living in the Lin family yard, and the ghostly cries every night are made by these weasels.

Ali drove the carriage past the village entrance. He heard everything the villagers said and touched his chin with amusement.

"There are only a bunch of weasels living in there, where does the screaming come from?"

Lu Jiu paused while pouring the tea. "Weasel?"

"Yes, I was woken up by a noise the night before last, so I ran over to check what was going on. I saw a group of weasels standing on their legs and howling at the moon. It was a terrifying scene," said Ali.

I have to say that Ali is really brave. If someone else heard the sound, they would hide under the quilt and dare not come out, but he was so brave that he ran to see.

"Then you are very brave." Lu Jiu said with a smile.

Ali sighed, "I grew up in the mountains. I'm not afraid of bears or wolves, so why should I be afraid of ghosts? People are much scarier than ghosts!"

Lu Jiu did not respond to Ali's words, but stroked the teacup, not knowing what he was thinking.

The carriage passing by the village entrance caused another round of discussion among the villagers.

The intelligence network at the village entrance would say something if even a dog passed by.

The third son's wife mixed in and, upon hearing these words, she threw the melon seed shells in her hand and went home.

One of the villagers looked at the back of the third brother's wife and asked, "Do you know this person?"

The others shook their heads, "Could it be the new bride who just married into our Lihua Village?"

But I haven’t heard of any family getting married recently.

As soon as the third daughter-in-law entered the yard, she told the Yuan family the news she had heard.

The Yuan family couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the villagers didn't sleep all night last night just to see if they would be scared by the ghost's screams?

The third daughter-in-law's eyes rolled around, "So, is our yard really a haunted house?"
