Chen Zhenggang is from Jilin Province. It was only after marrying Jiang Yao that he settled down in Qingping according to her wishes. Therefore, he has been here for a short time and doesn't know much about it. But Jiang Yao herself grew up here and knows more details about the rumors about that place.
Chen Zhenggang said that she was really surprised that Chenchen was living in that small building with the little girl in his arms today.
Nothing had happened in the small western-style building in the past six months. Although Jiang Yao was not timid, she had never taken the initiative to go there. However, she heard from people in the community owners' group that there seemed to be a young girl living there.
Many people are curious about the person who lives there. What kind of girl would dare to live alone in a haunted building?
Jiang Yao had never seen her before, but that didn't stop her from guessing that the girl was definitely not ordinary!
Later I heard from an older sister who always walked her dog that the courtyard was covered with talismans, probably used to suppress evil things.
One time when she passed by, she took a peek inside and saw that the whole yard was not covered with posters, just a few scattered around.
This further confirmed her suspicion.
The neighbors hadn't seen any master-looking person appear nearby. Perhaps the ghost in the small building was subdued by the master himself.
"Did the little girl really say that Chenchen won't cry or make a fuss at night anymore?"
"real!"
Jiang Yao was half-believing and half-doubting, but she had no other choice at the moment. Her son didn't look abnormal, so she could only believe the little girl for the time being. Besides, they really couldn't see any difference.
It is also very simple to verify whether what the other party says is true. Just wait one night and you will know.
So that night the couple did as usual, one was responsible for helping the eldest son with his homework, while the other played games with the second son, and soon it was time to go to bed.
After both children went to bed, the couple took turns taking a bath and cleaning up the messy house before going back to bed.
When Jiang Yao returned home, the little fat boy on the bed was sleeping soundly as he did every day. She soon became sleepy and fell asleep, not even noticing when Chen Zhenggang came back.
When Jiang Yao opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.
She thought of her youngest son, and suddenly sat up from the bed and looked to the side, which scared Chen Zhenggang.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Zhenggang sat up in a panic and fumbled around. The way he tried to open his eyes even though he clearly couldn't was very funny, which made Jiang Yao, who was a little nervous, relax.
"It's dawn!"
"It's dawn when it comes—" Before he could finish his words, Chen Zhenggang suddenly reacted and looked towards the other side of the bed.
My little son, who used to cry all night, is now lying on his back in his little bed, his belly rising and falling, and he is sleeping soundly!
Even when he looked over, the boy smacked his lips twice.
He really didn't cry last night. It was the first time in his life that he slept through the night!
People who have not experienced this feeling personally will not understand, but this couple has experienced it too much.
Jiang Yao felt her whole body lighten, as if a heavy burden that had been weighing on her for a long time had suddenly been lifted. Thinking that she had aged several years due to staying up late for several consecutive years, she felt particularly sad when she saw this scene.
Chen Zhenggang also looked at his wife with red eyes. He was the one who felt the deepest about all this, and his heart was filled with gratitude towards Wei Mian.
Even that scary little Western-style building didn't seem so scary anymore.
Wei Mian didn't know what was going on between the couple. She was just a little surprised. She rarely saw people around the yard before, but recently she had met several of them in succession.
They no longer walked around the small building, and seemed to be less afraid of her and more - kind?
It seems I have to go back and tell those little paper figures not to leave the building unless necessary, so that they won’t be scared if seen by others.
As for herself, she has no plans to change houses for the time being. At least during her college years, the small Western-style building is closer to school.
After graduation, I can consider finding a house in the mountains.

Deng Jianzhong has never been able to let go of his worries since he found the house purchase contract and those bank cards. He feels like a string is tense in his mind, afraid that it will break at any time.
However, in the eyes of everyone in the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary Deng was no different from usual.
But after returning home, he couldn't control the expression on his face.
The other people in the family also noticed that something was wrong with Deng Jianzhong. Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, they thought that he had some secret that was not convenient for his family to know, so they did not ask much, but they paid more attention to him.
At dinner that day, Deng Jianzhong's wife, Huang Wenjuan, saw him eating with a frown on his face. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you these past few days? If you have any problems, tell me and we can find a solution together. If you keep it to yourself, your blood pressure will go up!"
Deng Jianzhong was stunned when he heard this and wanted to say it was nothing, but when he looked up, he saw Huang Wenjuan's haggard face and he couldn't bear to hide it anymore.
The two got married early, and when they were young, neither of them was willing to accommodate the other, which led to divorce after several years of marriage. Later, their eldest son had an accident.
The parents were extremely regretful and began to reflect on themselves. After remarrying, they lived an even warmer life than before. They haven't quarreled for many years and they discuss everything together.
"Nothing, just something about work lately. I was transferred to Qingping. I must have been blocking someone's way. Someone set a trap to bring me down!"
Huang Wenjuan was immediately worried when she heard this. "What should we do? Have you thought of a solution? Who is so cruel? They don't have the ability to come up and won't let others come. It's simply lawless!"
Even Deng Ye and Deng Jun, who were eating, put down their chopsticks and looked at their father with serious faces.
"Dad, do you know where the other party is going to attack? Are there any signs?"
Deng Jun asked first.
Deng Jianzhong nodded. "We've already found the thing that could frame me. I've also made all the other arrangements in advance. I've made all the necessary preparations. But until that moment arrives, I can't help but worry."
Deng Ye understood immediately after hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt an itch in his throat. He drank some water to suppress the cough and then asked, "Did someone hide something with you?"
Deng Jianzhong nodded. Everyone in the family was family, and nothing they heard or said would be spread outside. Even his youngest son, Deng Jun, was very steady. He knew better than anyone what to say and what not to say.
After they heard Deng Jianzhong say what the people who harmed him had hidden, their faces darkened.
Deng Jianzhong's words served as a reminder to his family members that they should be more careful in their recent actions.
When Deng Jun heard that his father had found a bank card among the things he had found, he frowned and asked, "Dad, who is the owner of that bank card?"
Deng Jianzhong glanced at his youngest son with appreciation, "It's Ruan Chengen."
"Who is Ruan Chengen?"
Huang Wenjuan only felt that the name was very familiar. Before she could remember who this person was, she heard Deng Jun remind her, "Emgrand Group!"
Huang Wenjuan immediately remembered who this person was.
She may not know the name, but she knows Dihao Group very well.
