Chapter 216 Another Box of Ghost Money

Don't want to go to work: What? Someone's dead across from me? Don't scare me, they're playing mahjong all day.

[Hey, it sounds like that girl who ordered takeout just now. You should move to another place right away. It's a bit unlucky.]

[Don't want to go to work: How can I change? That's the house I bought, and houses are so expensive these days. No, there's an elderly couple across the street. They were fine the last time I saw them, but lately they've been so irritated that they called their in-laws over to play mahjong and can't stop.]

Ji Yu's eyes fell on "Don't Want to Go to Work": "How do you know it's the in-laws you called over?"

[Androphobia strikes: Yes, why can't it be someone else? ]

The uncle at the restaurant said angrily, "Are you in cahoots with the guy who gave me the ghost money? Come out and let's talk it over face to face."

[I would boldly guess that she was the one who killed him.]

"I don't want to go to work." The hand holding the phone trembled, and he opened the door angrily: "I didn't kill the talent. I'm just bored and can't think straight."

"Anchor, you're really good, you should be able to tell that I didn't kill him."

Ji Yu nodded, and the live broadcast room was in an uproar.

[See, I told you, she was the one who killed him.]

"I nodded to say that she was right. She certainly didn't kill him."

【……】

[A girl said: Sister, please speak faster next time.]

"But it was actually your husband who ordered the food, right?"

"I don't want to go to work." He looked surprised, obviously she was right.

The restaurant owner was so angry that he said, "I'm telling you, you must be kidding me. I don't mind if you order food for a dead person, but at least give me real money. Why are you giving me money for a dead person? I run a restaurant to serve food to people, not ghosts."

"Hallowed, Hades money? Impossible. My man orders everything through the platform. How could he possibly be given Hades money? This is not what we do."

"Where is your husband?" Ji Yu asked her.

"He was on a business trip recently and didn't order any food. He was the one who ordered food before, but we haven't ordered anything recently, and someone still delivered the food across the street. That's why I found it a bit strange."

Why do people go to work? Huh? You knew the person across the street was dead, but why did you still order food for them?

The uncle in the restaurant repeated the same sentence to the woman opposite him.

"How would I know you were ordering food for the dead? Someone called my husband. Oh, and I also learned from the phone that the other side had invited their in-laws to come over and play mahjong. They also said that if you order food for them for ten days, they will transfer 30,000 yuan. Do you want to do it?"

[Ahem, don't say it, don't say it, I really do it. 】

[Mumbling: It feels like I just found free money, but there's something strange about this. Someone across the street died, and they're asking you to order food. Don't you think this is a bit creepy?]

"All we could think about at the time was that we had picked up 30,000 yuan for nothing. Even though we realized something was wrong at the time, we just thought it might be the elderly neighbor's son or daughter who had returned. After all, when an accident like that happens, someone has to come to take care of the funeral, so it must be the younger generation of their family."

[What kind of accident was this? How did those four elderly people die?]

Ji Yu replied, "Gas poisoning. Four elderly people were playing mahjong and didn't notice the gas leak. Something happened inside. My son and daughter-in-law were not at home at the time. When they returned, the unfortunate incident happened."

"My husband and I were not at home at the time. We only found out from our downstairs neighbors when we came back that something had happened across from our house. When we went to check it out, the door was already shut and there was no movement. We thought everything was taken care of. Not long after that, we received the call asking us to place an order."

[They asked you to deliver for more than ten days, why did you stop because your husband is on a business trip? ]

The expression on "Don't Want to Go to Work" suddenly turned horrified, and she lowered her voice: "At first, I thought it was my husband who ordered it, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, when I was chatting with my husband, I found out that he didn't order it, he thought I did. I didn't order either of us, so who ordered it?"

"The only way it could have been ordered by the descendants of those elderly people is because the only known phone number is unreachable, which is strange. So every time it's time to order, I'll order from them, just to see if the delivery driver can spot anything wrong."

The uncle in the restaurant spread out his hands expressionlessly, revealing a stack of ghost money: "Something is wrong, I received so much ghost money..."

The woman hugged her exposed arms, her voice trembling, obviously frightened: "Looks like it really was a ghost ordering the food."

[Stop, this woman's words don't make sense to me. She started out by saying she thought they were ordering food for the neighbors' descendants. And there were these constant mahjong sounds going on. Why don't you find it weird?]

[And, who in their right mind can't use a cell phone? Why do I need you to order food? This call was completely absurd from the beginning.]

[My Lord Duke: Regarding the food ordering, I can try to explain it. Perhaps this girl and her boyfriend were so overwhelmed by the 30,000 yuan at the time that they subconsciously ignored what they felt was wrong. As for the mahjong sound, can anyone help me find the solution?]

The woman took the initiative to stand up and said, "To be honest, my husband and I are the type who sleep like dead pigs. No matter how loud the noise is at night, we can't wake up. Anyway, when we fell asleep, we thought the mahjong sounds might have stopped. We knew it hadn't stopped until someone came up from downstairs and I realized that the mahjong sounds have been going on 24 hours a day recently. This is definitely not right. No, you don't think I killed him, do you? Don't say anything nonsense. He died of gas poisoning, it's a foregone conclusion."

Ji Yu said, "Miss, did you see something?"

He started talking incoherently, stuttering here and there, and was obviously terrified.

"No, no, no, I didn't see anything."

The other party subconsciously shook his head in denial, then sat on the ground crying: "Oh, I should have gone to bed that night. Why did I open the door for no reason?"

"Anchor, there's actually something I haven't told you."

"Hmm, so the money you and your husband received was ghost money?"

The woman nodded vigorously. "You're right. I received the money yesterday, last night. There was a thank-you note inside, saying thank you for helping with the ordering, but they didn't need it recently. The box was the payment. I took it home and opened it with joy, only to see it was 30,000 yuan in banknotes!"

Why is my postage stamp replacement so difficult? Hahahaha, 30,000 yuan in banknotes, what's the difference between that and 30 cents, hahahaha, I'm burning 300 million yuan for my grandfather now, hahahaha.

[The pattern is too small. I just spent 500 million on my grandma.]

[Facts have proven that you shouldn't be greedy for small gains, as you might end up losing money.]
