Tang Yuanyang followed He Ting and Shen Jun to move into the house and clean it. Zhou Yanfeng took Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling to buy things and inquire about the renovation of the house.

After all, although the house is well preserved, it has been vacant for so many years and no one lives in it. The broken doors and windows need to be repaired and the roof needs to be re-tiled.

There are also matters concerning the layout of the courtyard of the house, how to design it, and whether to put a grape trellis or a swing frame in the yard. All these need to be discussed with the craftsmen.

Tang Yuanyang was working hard to fetch water and wash the steps when he heard some noise in the outer courtyard. He thought it was Zhou Yanfeng returning with his two sisters.

When he walked along the pavilion corridor to the outer courtyard, he saw Zhou Yanfeng talking to the craftsmen who were called to renovate the house. There were also a few neighbors peeking out of the door of the house, pointing deep into the house and talking to Tang Yunling and Lu Baiwei.

"You are from out of town, right?"

What's wrong with looking down on people from other places?

Tang Yunling was unhappy.

Lu Baiwei was afraid that she would be anxious, so she pulled her back and said with a smile: "Yes, Auntie, you have a good eye, you can see it at a glance."

"We are students from Kyoto University. We were sent to the countryside as educated youth and started a family. Now we have to bring our children to study at university, so we need a place to stay."

Lu Baiwei spoke with a smile, and spoke enthusiastically to the old lady who was pointing at the house.

"Why are you so careless as to rent this house?"

The old lady slapped her thigh in anxiety.

Several other enthusiastic people also followed suit.

"Yes, if you want to rent a house, come to us!"

"Why are you so desperate to rent this house?"

"So I guess you guys from outside the area don't understand the situation of this house."

Tang Yunling couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation with this house?"

"It's haunted!"

"It's fine during the day, nothing will happen, you'll know at night."

"We dare not pass by here at night. There are ghost lights in this place."

What else did you think it was?

It turns out to be haunted!

Tang Yuanyang grew up in the countryside and had heard many ghost stories.

He is not afraid of ghosts.

Tang Yunling was even less afraid.

At first, several neighbors who came over said that there was something wrong with the house, and Tang Yunling was shocked, but this is what happened.

Haunted?

Tang Yunling shrugged: "It's okay if there's a ghost, Auntie, I'm not afraid of ghosts."

"I'm telling you, don't take it lightly. People who have passed by here have seen ghost lights coming out of the house many times."

The old lady tried to persuade Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling: "This house has scared people to death before. It belongs to our courtyard."

"There's a scoundrel in our yard who has dirty hands and wants to sneak into the house to steal things, you know?"

"He climbed the wall into the house and encountered a ghost wall. He was so scared that he peed his pants and couldn't get out all night."

"It was not until daybreak that he could see the road clearly, and he climbed over the wall with half his life left."

"After he crawled out, he kept talking about ghosts. He was so scared that he was taken to the hospital. The doctor said he didn't have any serious illness. A few days later, he died with his eyes rolled back."

"Since then, no one dares to rent this house."

The old lady advised Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling: "You are young girls, and you came from other places without knowing how to ask around. It's nonsense to rent this house."

"The house is very haunted. It was probably originally built by a female eunuch. That eunuch had blood on his hands, so it was a haunted house from the beginning."

"Before, there lived a professor named Gu here who taught history at Kyoto University. He didn't believe in this."

"What happened? He lost his life."

"He had lived in this house for only a few years when he met with misfortune and was denounced and sent to the countryside. I heard from the people in the neighborhood office that the lonely old man died of illness in the countryside."

"This house is very dangerous! It's very evil."

"That woman named Li from the subdistrict office is unscrupulous. She deceived you, young girls from other places who were studying, into renting a haunted house."

The old lady came up to pull Lu Baiwei and said, "Come on, that woman surnamed Li dares to lie to you. I'll take you to find her and ask her to rent you a new house."

Lu Baiwei has witnessed the enthusiasm of the people of Kyoto.

She was pulled out forcefully without even giving her a chance to refuse.

Fortunately, Tang Yunling is a good talker.

"Auntie, we bought my house."

"Don't worry, the fortune teller said that I have a strong life and can ward off evil. With me protecting the house, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts."

The old lady slapped her thigh.

"What, you bought it?"

She was heartbroken and said, "Oh, I can't buy this house even if it's cheap."

"You don't have to be tough to be strong like this. You really got cheated by that old lady named Li from the street office."

"You don't know how many people have inquired about this house. The woman surnamed Li brought many people to see the house. Once they heard that it was haunted, no one wanted to rent it, let alone buy it for thousands or tens of thousands of yuan."

Several aunts and sisters-in-law came up with some suggestions, asking them to go to the temple to pray and to find out how much the house was bought for.

Not to mention Lu Baiwei, their enthusiasm was too much for Tang Yunling to handle.

Later, He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng came out and said that they were locals and came from a military family and could ward off evil. The aunt and the sister ate the melon seeds that Lu Baiwei brought them, shook their heads and sighed, and left.

"The people here in Kyoto are too enthusiastic. They almost dragged you to the street office just now."

If anyone had heard that the house was haunted, they would have been scared long ago. Fortunately, Tang Yunling was not afraid of ghosts.

She asked Lu Baiwei: "Weiwei, do you think there is a ghost in this house?"

"What they said was quite weird."

Taking advantage of the weekend to clean the house, Tang Yunling discussed with Lu Baiwei while working.

Zhou Yanfeng came over to fetch water and heard what his wife said, so he tapped her forehead with his finger.

"Didn't they say you have a strong destiny to ward off evil spirits and protect the house? You're not scared, are you?"

Zhou Yanfeng used up all his savings to buy this house, of course because it was where Professor Gu lived. His initial decision to buy the house was also because his family directly denied Lingling's identity as their grandson's daughter-in-law without knowing her.

Zhou Yanfeng wanted to give her enough respect and went against his family for her, which really touched Tang Yunling.

Not really, she would have to turn against the Zhou family.

Although she has a rather straightforward personality, she is not unreasonable.

As for how to repair the relationship, Tang Yunling had no idea.

Love the house and love the dog!

Because of Zhou Yanfeng, Tang Yunling was no longer so upset about the Zhou family's denial of her.

"Yes, I can ward off evil spirits and protect the house. You don't know how much advantage you will get by marrying me."

In Zhou Yanfeng's opinion, Tang Yunling might not be someone the Zhou family is satisfied with.

But he had pursued it with great difficulty.

She is different from other girls and is unique in his heart.

You live your own life.

How could he not know what kind of person is right for him?

Seeing that his wife paid attention to him, Zhou Yanfeng smiled from the bottom of his heart and reached out to pinch her face.

"Yes, marrying my Lingling is a great bargain for me."

Tang Yunling protested: "Your hands are dirty, Zhou Yanfeng, how dare you pinch me?"

"Take your hands off me now."

Lu Baiwei: “…”

She and He Ting have triplets, so they are somewhat like an old married couple.

While Lu Baiwei was still watching her cousin and Zhou Yanfeng pinching each other in the new house, Gu Min and the triplets were waiting for Lu Baiwei and He Ting to return to the military compound.
