Chapter 30 Renting a Haunted House
Liang Jinyu held it in her hand and felt it was heavy.
"By the way, when I came here just now, I told you that there is a Peach Blossom Garden in the back. Do you remember it?" Liu Yaren mentioned it casually when leaving.
Liang Jinyu nodded: "I remember, what's the matter?"
"That yard has been in disrepair for a long time and could collapse at any time. If you don't have anything to do, don't go in there."
Liang Jinyu felt something was wrong when she heard this: "There are many places in the house that are about to collapse. Why do you want to mention this Luanxiang Garden alone?"
Liu Yaren lowered his head, glanced at the door just in front of him, and immediately trotted out.
Liang Jinyu was confused, but still ran out closely.
"Mr. Liu, are you hiding something from me?" Liang Jinyu's face darkened instantly and he stopped the man.
At this point, Liu Yaren did not hide the truth and said with a shy smile: "It's not a big deal. It's just that Luanxiangyuan...someone died there."
A chill suddenly ran down my body from head to toe, and then turned into a cavity full of anger.
"I was wondering why it was so cheap, but it turns out to be a haunted house. How dare you lie to me about such a big thing?" Liang Jinyu was furious and wanted to return the key to him, "I won't rent it anymore!"
"That won't do. It's clearly written in black and white. Besides, this is an old house that's over a hundred years old. It's not surprising that a few people died there. People have died in the prefectural government before." After saying this, Liu Ya Ren pushed Liang Jinyu away and left.
Liang Jinyu's eyes darkened and he followed closely.
When I returned to the store, the boss came up to me with a smile and said, "Yuniang, how do you like the house?"
Liang Jinyu slammed the key on the table and said, "What do you think? I never thought you were such a person, boss? I was thinking of buying all the food for our house from you in the future, but now it seems that my kindness has gone to waste!"
The boss was startled and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the house?"
Liu Yaren was guilty of his crime and did not dare to go back to the store. He ran away as soon as he got to the street.
Liang Jinyu sneered and said sarcastically, "Your brother-in-law is indeed the best broker on this street. He tricked me into renting a haunted house with just a few words. He wants to kill me!"
"A haunted house? No way?" the boss asked in surprise.
Liang Jinyu immediately told her the whole story. If she hadn't been so anxious, she would have realized it long ago.
"I will definitely deal a lesson to that bastard when I get back!" the boss gritted his teeth and cursed Liu Yaren inwardly.
The Song residence was a notoriously haunted house. Not just one or two people died there, but twenty-three people.
But the boss didn't dare say this, and hoped that no one would tell Liang Jinyu.
"I was wrong. How about this? I'll give you a 10% discount on the food you buy." The boss knew he was in the wrong.
Liang Jinyu said coldly: "30% off, and you must send someone to deliver the food to me."
The boss said with a bitter face: "I didn't force you to rent the house, right? We are all responsible for this matter. Let's take a step back and give it a 20% discount."
"30% off." Liang Jinyu said firmly.
"Yuniang, I am only doing this on a small scale. You have to let me get my money back. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. It is really not easy."
Liang Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "A 20% discount is fine, but I have to pay you the down payment at the end of the month."
In the morning, Liang Jinyu gave a deposit of two taels. As agreed before, half of the down payment would be paid first after the food arrived, and the remaining balance would have to wait until the end of the month.
But in reality, Liang Jinyu is not even sure about the down payment she will have to pay tomorrow, let alone the final payment.
When she came back, Liang Jinyu thought of this method to delay.
She doesn't really care whether the house is haunted or not.
"The end of the month? Isn't this a bit long?" the boss said hesitantly.
Liang Jinyu stood up, with an expression that would not tolerate discussion: "If that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss. I don't want the food anymore. I'd also like to trouble the boss to tell Liu Ya Ren to wait at home. I think the government will summon him soon."
The boss didn't expect Liang Jinyu to turn hostile so suddenly, and seeing that the person was about to leave, he hurried forward to say something nice.
"Okay, the end of the month is the end of the month, but you have to pay it all off at once, Yu Niang, is that okay?"
Liang Jinyu has no money on hand now, so she will delay it as much as possible: "The monthly expenditure of the mansion is fixed, and the New Year is coming soon, so there are many places to spend money. Since the down payment is set at the end of the month, the balance can only be postponed for another month."
"I will be punished for renting a haunted house when I return. Boss, you have to let me give an explanation to my master, right?" Liang Jinyu said with a wry smile.
The two argued for a long time, and finally the boss compromised.
There is a 20% discount on food. The boss will send someone to deliver it to the house after you order the quantity tomorrow. Liang Jinyu must pay the down payment before the end of the month, and the balance must be paid next month.
After everything was settled, Liang Jinyu left the store feeling relieved.
The sun sets in the west, and people walk hurriedly on the streets.
Liang Jinyu was thinking about what excuse she could find to come to the city tomorrow when someone bumped into her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Liang Jinyu raised her head quickly, but was stunned.
Xiang Linchuan was about to leave, but when he saw the beautiful face of this woman, he immediately became interested: "Why, do you know me?"
Liang Jinyu was choked. Is she so forgetful?
"In case you forgot, I came to see you yesterday. My last name is Liang." Liang Jinyu said, noticing that the other party frowned.
"Yes, I remember now." Xiang Linchuan nodded seriously, looking serious, "Is it the household registration certificate?"
Liang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief. If she didn't remember the person, she would be fine. As long as she remembered the job, it would be fine. "That's right."
"Where do you live? Are you married?" Xiang Linchuan asked seriously, with no expression on his handsome and resolute face.
Liang Jinyu thought to himself, it turns out that I have a bad memory.
"I live in Yanghe Village and I'm married."
This answer instantly made Xiang Linchuan lose interest, and he dismissed him by saying, "I understand, you can go now."
Liang Jinyu lowered her head and laughed, turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped again.
"Is this yours?" Xiang Linchuan picked up the key from the ground, then held it in front of him and looked at it carefully.
Liang Jinyu touched her cuffs and realized that the key had fallen off. She said gratefully, "Thank you."
"Yours?" Xiang Linchuan asked.
Liang Jinyu felt that this question was strange. How could it be asked to her if it was not hers?
"Return my trouble to me." Liang Jinyu stretched out her hand.
"That's right, that's right. It doesn't make me feel comfortable listening to you. My name is Xiang Linchuan, remember it." Xiang Linchuan casually threw the key to Liang Jinyu.
Liang Jinyu felt amused and said, "I don't care what your name is, and I have a good memory."
Xiang Linchuan likes beautiful women, but he has no interest in married women. He looked at Liang Jinyu with regret, shook his head and left.
Looking at the opponent's brisk back, Liang Jinyu couldn't understand why a military general, instead of going to the battlefield to fight bravely, ran to that remote countryside to become a general.
"Oh~ I saw it all."
