A trainee ghost official is accidentally pushed off the Naihe Bridge, becoming Shen Chunxing, a frail young girl in an ancient peasant family. Feeling like a victim of fate, she plans to muddle thr...

Chapter 77 Who is shameless?

The next day.

The Shen family was awakened by a burst of loud "Yiyaya" sounds.

Diao walked out in slippers and was a little confused when she saw an old man with white beard standing in the yard.

It's not like she had never seen someone break into a house before, but this was the first time she had seen someone do it in such a high-profile manner!

The owner of the house is still sleeping in the house... Is he afraid that he won't be able to get himself to the yamen?

Diao's hand reached for the broom.

I just feel that this old man is very weird, maybe he is a lunatic. If he hurts my children, even with my family's relationship with the county magistrate, I will have no place to seek justice!

Wang Youcai has been a human for eighty-eight years and a ghost for only two years. His cultivation is still very shallow. Although he was able to transform into a physical body with the help of the underworld, he does not feel very solid under his feet.

As a result, he lost his usual vigilance and failed to hear the movement behind him.

Only when the rough broom bristles slid over his head did he jump to the side several times with his eyes wide open.

The one-legged kind.

"Aa ...

Diao waved the broom to create wind.

"Who of us is shameless? Who of us is shameless?"

"You're an old immortal with arms and legs, and you're so ashamed to do something like climbing over a wall and stealing?"

"If you want to steal something, at least cover it up. What's the matter? You haven't left since daybreak. Are you trying to get a free breakfast?"

Although Wang Youcai had never met Diao, he was not stupid. He knew that this was a misunderstanding and hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

However, Diao didn't give him any chance at all.

Although the old lady had developed some good habits different from other villagers under the guidance of her eldest granddaughter, she had never been so rude as to swear or throw a tantrum.

"Get out of here right now! If it weren't for your age, poor brain function, and the fact that you won't live for many more years, I'd definitely send you to jail for a few years..."

When Chen Chunxing walked out of the house, the yard was in a strange silence.

Diao opened the door, frowned, and stared at the old man without blinking.

Wang Youcai opened his mouth slightly, his eyes showing confusion and... a little bit of grievance.

The two children lay on the windowsill and watched with great interest.

Seeing Shen Chun walking over, Shen Mingqiu pointed at the old man with a gloating look.

"So early in the morning, this idiot suddenly appeared out of nowhere..."

"You look like an idiot to me. Have you washed your face? Have you reviewed your homework? Have you finished practicing the calligraphy that Sister Min asked you to practice yesterday?"

Under Shen Chunxing's three soul-searching questions, Shen Mingqiu silently pulled Little Fourth back and quickly lowered the window, pretending that he had not woken up yet.

He now feels bitter in his mouth and heart.

Although he has excellent handwriting, he pretends to be a beginner in front of outsiders.

It’s so torturous to have to practice calligraphy but not be able to write too well!

"Grandma, don't be nervous, this guy is not a bad person," Chen Chunxing walked up to Diao and snatched the broom away with a smile.

"Ah? You know him?" Diao glanced at the old man suspiciously.

"Well, he is..." Chen Chunxing rolled his eyes and happened to see Xue Yongan coming out, so he continued, "He is the agricultural expert that Lord Xue invited for us. He will live in our village and teach us how to farm better. Don't you agree, Lord?"

"..." Xue Yongan mumbled, "If you say so, then so be it."

Chen Chunxing gave him a fierce look.

Fortunately, Diao didn't care too much.

If anyone from the village were here, they would ask, what is better farming?

But it was her.

The Shen family's trust in Shen Chunxing is deep-rooted.

I didn't hear anything about Diao, but I understood one thing - the old man came to help with farming.

Oh, you’d be a bastard if you didn’t take advantage of a good opportunity!

Since her husband and eldest son passed away one after another, the Shen family has no longer taken care of the work in the fields, and she really doesn't know how to do it.

"Look at this... a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. We're all family, so we shouldn't have different opinions! Please stay for dinner today, and remember to take good care of my family when you plant next year!"

Diao didn't even stutter. She smiled and said some polite words, then turned around and went to the kitchen.

Not even a chance to relax.

Wang Youcai nodded slowly and glanced at Chen Chunxing.

"I finally know where your personality comes from. Emotions are hereditary."

Chen Chunxing smirked, "I told you not to sleep. Are you going to practice singing in the future? You see, this incident caused me such a commotion that I got beaten for no reason. If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to live on..."

Last night, she tried her best to persuade the old man but failed to dampen his enthusiasm. In the end, she had no choice but to let him go.

Anyway, you won’t freeze to death.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're just too young, little girl. You still have a lot to learn."

Wang Youcai was in a good mood and not angry at all. He grabbed Chen Chunxing and was about to leave.

"It's already daybreak, shouldn't we get down to business?"

Chen Chunxing didn't even wash his face or rinse his mouth. He really didn't want to go out and have fun with the old man, but he wasn't as strong as the old man, so he had to use his feet to hook... Xue Yongan's legs.

"Look at the sky, look at the snow on the ground, how can we do anything?"

As a result, the old man made a disgusted sound.

"What are you two doing? This is ancient times, can you please be careful about the consequences?"

Xue Yongan: "..."

Helplessly, he grabbed Chen Chunxing by the back of his neck, straightened him, and then stepped back a little.

Chen Chunxing looked back.

It turned out that it was the old man’s loud voice that called Shen Mingqiu out.

The brat was standing behind Xue Yongan, kicking his calves again and again.

Chen Chunxing rolled his eyes.

"Have you swept the floor and wiped the table?"

"Have you fed the mules?"

"Have you wiped Little Fourth's butt?"

Shen Mingqiu ran away with a pale face.

"This kid looks..." Wang Youcai looked at him carefully for a moment and said with certainty, "Like a short-lived ghost!"

That’s not wrong.

It just doesn't sound very good.

Even Shen Mingqiu, who was running away, turned back and rolled his eyes several times.

Chen Chunxing opened the door again and pointed across. "Why don't you go out and find some work? It just snowed, and many people in the village have fallen ill. Since you are old and can treat people, why not give it a try?"

Wang Youcai groaned for a long time, pretending to refuse, "This isn't good... Injections are a Western medical method. As for Chinese medicine, I only know a little bit..."

What he said was still not very humble.

"See that yard? There happens to be a professional doctor living there. You can talk to him. Well, I remember there's an empty house over there. You can live with him in the future."

Since we are entering the world as a "human being", we naturally have to be "non-special".

She turned to Xue Yongan and said, "By the way, when are you leaving? Go back and arrange an identity for him."

The border has always been chaotic, and as a county magistrate, it is easy for him to forge a few household registration certificates.

"Let's go after dinner. There are still many things waiting for us in the government office."

Xue Yongan just came back from outside. Although the case has been investigated, there are still many procedures to be completed.

I really can't get away.

Even if I don't miss you so much, I won't give up everything and come to this narrow village.

They have a long life ahead of them, so they have to take care of the present first.

Chen Chunxing naturally did not stop him and said a few words: "Bao'er's family should be almost done, you can go and check it out yourself."

Her Ah Huai is not as honest as she appears to be, and she would never easily send someone to be her maid.

What’s more, she is a maid who has a relationship with the old man in the county government office.
