Xie Jiancheng ran out after him, not daring to say a word.
He vividly remembered the scene of crossing the river to collect weapons, which terrified the enemy and sent them running for their lives. He felt a deep respect for his departed comrades.
Feng Qiulan also ran out, but she had never seen anything like it before and was trembling with fear.
"Jiancheng, is there something like that ghost in the house?"
Xie Jiancheng was certain that there must be something like that in the house. "Don't talk nonsense. Even if there is, it's a good ghost."
He stood at attention and saluted. "Brother, is that you? I'm sorry to have disturbed you. I'll burn three incense sticks for you in a moment. You can take these things if you like."
The jade bracelet and jade thumb ring flew high and low in the air, heading towards Song Yunchao and then towards Feng Qiulan. Just as they were about to land in her arms, they were startled by Feng Qiulan's scream and fell downwards.
It made a sharp turn and floated upwards almost to the ground, swaying and shaking as if it were holding something and its hands were trembling. It swayed for a while before it stabilized and landed in Shishi's hands.
Xie Jiancheng wiped away a bead of cold sweat. The ghost brother meant for him to give the things to his ex-wife.
Alright, my wife's family still has some of those things, so losing a few won't make a difference.
Feng Qiulan didn't dare to take anything that had been touched by a ghost. "You, you can take it if you like it. Consider it payment."
Shishi threw it on the table, "No, I want money, not a penny less."
I want money, and I want jade.
A moment later, the three items floated back into Shishi's hands. Shishi put them back on the table, and a few seconds later they were back in her hands.
She pouted, "Looks like your family needs to improve their character; even the animals don't want to be with you."
Without using a single swear word, he insulted their entire family.
Song Yunchao secretly gave a thumbs up in his mind, then quietly watched the couple whose faces had turned green.
See? Even ghosts don't believe you.
Seeing their friends having fun, the eldest and second eldest brothers hung from the beam, one rolling up a stool and the other an empty basket, swinging them back and forth in the air above the main room, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
Tall people quickly crouched down, afraid of being hit.
Not to be outdone, Xie Da grabbed a wooden bucket from the corner of the wall, lay down on the ground, and rolled the bucket with his four paws in the air, sometimes moving quickly with a whooshing sound, sometimes slowly making a squeaking sound.
Watching this made Xie Jiancheng and his wife's hearts race.
With limited space for performances, Tuesday and Jijizha simply picked up their owner's empty bowls, plates, and chopsticks and started banging them around to add to the fun, creating a lively clanging noise.
To others, it looks like the stools, baskets, buckets, and bowls and chopsticks are floating on their own.
In Xie Jiancheng and Song Yunchao's eyes, it was those brothers who did the dirty work.
"Wow, Mom, they've grown wings!" Little Xie Lin clapped his hands excitedly, glancing at the couple out of the corner of his eye. "You little devils, you'll scare them to death!"
"That's right, no wonder everyone likes the city. It turns out that things in the city have grown legs on their own."
"Mother, is it some kind of spirit?"
"More or less."
Song Yunchao was suspicious.
This situation never happened again after that battle. He just assumed that his brothers had been reincarnated. How could the Xie family appear?
Could it be true, as the young comrade said, that they are of bad character and have summoned back the unseen souls?
These spirits are quite playful.
With so many ghosts suddenly appearing, Feng Qiulan hugged her son and huddled in a corner, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a single word.
In the end, Xie Jiancheng and Feng Qiulan both felt that the money had been taken by a ghost, so they didn't dare to press the matter any further. They borrowed all the money from Song Yunchao and sent Shishi and Xiao Xielin away.
Xie Jiancheng hadn't been in the army for very long, but he had many opportunities to earn merits, so he rose through the ranks quickly, and his allowance went from a few yuan at the beginning to tens of yuan now.
Married for two years, starting from 60 yuan for deputy company commander, 10 months as deputy company commander, one year as company commander, two months as deputy battalion commander, half of that is 784 yuan, plus 500 yuan in compensation, and 1080 yuan for child support, totaling 2364 yuan.
That's a huge sum of money.
Shishi accepted the money with a smile.
"Young comrade, you count them."
Song Yunchao didn't want the "mother and son" to suffer, so he wanted to sever ties cleanly to prevent the child from being exploited by his disgusting family if he became successful in the future.
The child's eyes lit up when he saw the flying object; he wasn't afraid at all. He was clearly no ordinary child.
"Brother, I can't read, I can't count such a large number, can you help me count it?" Shishi pushed the money toward Song Yunchao, continuing to portray herself as an ignorant peasant woman.
"OK."
A moment later, the full 2,364 yuan went into Shishi's pocket.
Feng Qiulan was both angry and resentful. She had reason to suspect that the money in her house had also been sent to Shishi's pocket by those ghosts, but the "circus troupe" continued, and she could only swallow her anger.
Especially after seeing the jade bracelet and jade ring that Shishi had thrown onto the table again float into the air and disappear, her mouth was sealed shut tighter than a welded steel plate.
Having eaten their fill and taken the money, it was time to slip away.
Song Yunchao saw them to the gate. "Young comrade, thank you for the news. This is a small token of my appreciation."
He handed over a small cloth bag containing a thousand dollars.
Shishi just saw it. This thousand yuan was borrowed from someone else. He also helped Xie Jiancheng borrow a small portion of the money from him. He's already in such a difficult situation and he's still thinking of others. He's really foolish.
She didn't accept it and pushed it back.
"No need to thank me, it's just a matter of asking. Besides, you helped me today, so if you feel it's not fair, then do me another favor."
After refusing twice, Song Yunchao had no choice but to signal her to say it.
"Xie Jiancheng is morally corrupt; he should not be promoted."
Very straightforward.
The purpose of this trip is to destroy Xie Jiancheng.
Song Yunchao nodded and assured him, "Don't worry, with me here, he won't get promoted."
"Yes, I'm relieved. Thank you, brother. We're off now. Goodbye."
