As Yue Jiu chewed on the fish that Huang Qing had put on her plate, she thought to herself, "It's not that I didn't eat properly, it's that I didn't have any food at all. Damn it, where can I find food in this remote mountain village? I'd be lucky to catch a wild pheasant to have some meat."

However, she didn't dare to say it aloud, and just casually replied, "It's alright. Actually, I don't think I've lost weight. Is it because you haven't seen me in a long time that you think that way?"

Jiang Hu chimed in, "I think you've lost weight too. Come on, eat more. Even though we can't live together, you can come home for meals often. It shouldn't have any problems, right?"

Yue Jiu Nian knew he was referring to the lies she had told them before. In order to avoid living with them, Yue Jiu Nian had made up a story that she was a cursed loner who would bring misfortune to her family.

Yue Jiu said, "Well, it's okay to get together occasionally. By the way, Dad, I want to buy a house. Could you lend me some money?"

She suddenly thought of the house. Although her current savings were not enough to buy a house in J City, she could borrow from her rich father and pay it back later. In the meantime, she could prepare a place for herself and her friends.

When Jiang Hu heard Yue Jiu mention that she wanted to buy a house, he smiled and said, "Buying a house? That's easy. Your aunt's family is in the real estate business. When you go to look at houses, if you like one, just tell your dad, and he'll buy it for you."

Hearing this from the side, Huang Ru said, "Oh dear, we're all family, why buy anything? I'll just give it to you. Oh, by the way, Niannian, I heard that you really can catch ghosts and demons or something?"

Yue Jiu Nian was initially wondering why Huang Ru was so generous, giving away a house so readily. But after hearing Huang Ru's next words, she realized that her aunt probably had something to ask her.

Yue Jiu Nian bit her chopsticks and said, "Emmm, actually I just have a little bit of skill, I don't know why Auntie asked that?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ru said, "Well, actually, it's like this. My aunt has a son, who is your little cousin. He seems to be acting a bit strange lately. I wonder if you could take a look and see what the problem is?"

Huang Qing also chimed in, "Niannian, your aunt only has one child, and your little cousin is only a few months younger than you. Please help your aunt."

"Um, well, I need to see the person in person to know what's going on..."

When Huang Ru heard that Yue Jiu Nian wanted to help, she immediately said, "He'll come over tonight. I've already called him. He'll come right away after school."

"Okay, then."

Yue Jiu Nian didn't really want to get involved in these things. If her little cousin was being haunted by a ghost, and they should keep to themselves, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to stand up for a human and beat up a ghost. Or if he was being haunted by a monster, it would be even more awkward. Fighting with someone of the same kind was something Yue Jiu Nian felt was not a good idea.

After seeing that Yue Jiunian had agreed to help, the family continued to eat happily, and Yue Jiunian gradually came to understand as she ate.

She thought that although fighting with others was not a good idea, if the reward was a house, then helping out wouldn't be a loss. According to the housing prices in J City, a house would probably cost one or two million.

Thinking about how easily and simply she had obtained the house, Yue Jiu suddenly felt that 'meddling' wasn't so bad after all, at least the reward was so high.

After lunch, Yue Jiu Nian, with a slightly full stomach, followed Brother Jiang Yi to stroll through his family's backyard.

It has to be said that the places where the rich live are really nice. The Jiang family's villa not only has a garden, but also a private swimming pool and a movie room, as well as many other entertainment facilities. As Yue Jiu Nian listened to Jiang Yi's introduction, she secretly felt jealous.

After their walk following dinner, Jiang Yi was going to the company with Jiang Hu, while Yue Jiu Nian didn't want to shop anymore and went straight back to her room to get some sleep before starting work that night.

However, after returning to her room, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten something. She held her bag and thought for a while, and finally remembered the stone monster that she had kept in her backpack since she brought it back.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I've been back for so long and only just remembered. You're still in my backpack. How are you? Are you alright?"

Yue Jiu Nian held up the stone that she had shrunk with her magic and asked the monster.
