"ah?"
Ah Qing stared at Jiang Wanyan blankly, as if he didn't understand what Jiang Wanyan meant.
Jiang Wanyan explained: "We don't plan to tell you at the moment, so let's just say we are just ordinary friends."
Ah Qing pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. She actually flirted with her man in front of him.
Seeing what Ah Qing was thinking, Jiang Wanyan said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect Auntie to tell you that Mr. Xi is single. You didn't do anything wrong. It's my fault for not telling you in advance."
Ah Qing shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm not wrong, and you're not wrong either. We didn't know this would happen."
Jiang Wanyan was relieved when she saw that Ah Qing didn't react much. She said, "Thank you for your understanding. I hope you won't tell Auntie."
Ah Qing asked puzzledly: "Why don't you tell her? Aren't you on good terms? It's just a marriage, there's nothing to hide."
Jiang Wanyan didn't know how to explain it to her, so she just said, "I can't tell you for now. I'll tell you when I can."
Jiang Wanyan insisted on doing this, and Ah Qing had no reason to disobey her. She nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, then I won't say it, but you and you——"
She paused when she said this: "What's going on between you and your husband? Are you having a fight?"
Jiang Wanyan said with a smile: "It's not that we're having a quarrel, but there are some things that haven't been settled yet, so I can't talk about it for the time being."
This was all Jiang Wanyan could say. Aqing wasn't someone who liked to pry into other people's privacy, so she nodded to show that she understood.
The two returned to the door, and Zhang Qian invited Jiang Wanyan to dinner.
Jiang Wanyan took the bowl from Zhang Qian and took two bites when Zhang Qian couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Wanyan and whispered, "Yanyan, what did Ah Qing say to you? Did he say anything unpleasant?"
Jiang Wanyan shook her head and said, "He didn't say anything unpleasant to me. He just asked me how long I would stay."
Jiang Wanyan and Aqing will not tell Zhang Qian what they said.
If Zhang Qian knew what they were talking about, she would definitely get to the bottom of it, and then she would have to talk about what happened between her and Xi Chenzhu.
Jiang Wanyan didn't want to just say what happened between her and Xi Chenzhu. She was not prepared, and neither was Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian stopped asking Jiang Wanyan.
After Jiang Wanyan finished eating, she was busy cleaning. She spent all her time cleaning the house. After cleaning, everyone was so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms.
After a simple dinner brought by Aqing, Jiang Wanyan and the others sat on the sofa. Zhang Qian said a few words from time to time, and Jiang Wanyan responded.
After taking a bath, they fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed.
The next day, Jiang Wanyan heard the chirping of birds.
She opened the window and saw a row of birds standing in the tree outside the house. Her eyes widened in surprise.
Jiang Wanyan stared at the birds blankly for a long time until Zhang Qian came to call her.
Zhang Qian walked to the window and looked at the birds outside with Jiang Wanyan. She smiled and asked, "I didn't lie to you, did I? The birds really don't leave in winter. They stay here."
Jiang Wanyan asked in confusion, "Shouldn't they go to warmer places in winter? Why are they staying here?"
Zhang Qian had said before that birds wouldn’t fly in winter, and Jiang Wanyan thought she was joking. Now they could still be seen, but it was only because these birds were slow-witted that they didn’t fly.
Now hearing Zhang Qian say this, I am very sure that she is really confused.
Zhang Qian said with a smile: "They go to warmer places because it's cold here, but after we installed some warm nests here, they won't leave."
"A warm nest?"
Zhang Qian said, "Pack up and after breakfast I'll take you to see their nest. It's not far from here. There are more birds there, and you can see them anytime in the winter. So you can stay here this winter."
At the end, she asked the heroine to stay.
Jiang Wanyan said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if I leave this winter, I will come to see you next spring. As long as I have time, I will try my best to come to see you. You don't have to worry that I won't come again after I leave."
Jiang Wanyan could see that Zhang Qian was worried that she would not come to see her again after she left.
Jiang Wanyan was very helpless. As long as Zhang Qian didn't dislike her, she would come.
After breakfast, Zhang Qian took Jiang Wanyan to see the bird's nest. As for Xi Chenzhu, he went to see Old Man Li, for fear that Old Man Li would cause trouble again.
There is a forest not far from the farmhouse. Before you even walk in, you can hear the sound of birds.
Zhang Qian said: "The nest is inside. If you want to see it, go in. If not, we can stay outside. If you go in, you might get hurt. These birds are a bit shy."
Hearing that birds are shy, Jiang Wanyan did not go in.
It is enough to just watch from outside. If you go in, you will scare the birds and might even get hurt, which is not worth it.
Even though we were outside, we could still see birds flying out from time to time.
After looking for a long time, Jiang Wanyan and the others went back.
At noon, Old Man Li returned safely.
While eating, Zhang Qian asked, "Yan Yan, your previous store is no longer viable. What kind of store do you want to open next? Talk to me, maybe I can give you some advice."
Jiang Wanyan glanced at Xi Chenzhu hesitantly and said cautiously, "I want to open a haunted house."
"Haunted house?" Zhang Qian didn't quite understand. "Are haunted houses supposed to be scary? Why would anyone like something scary?"
She was old and didn't quite understand why anyone would like to pay to be scared.
Jiang Wanyan explained: "Although the main purpose is to attract people through horror, the main purpose is to make customers scream. They can vent their frustrations in this way."
Zhang Qian nodded, not quite understanding, and then said, "Do you need stories about servants? I've heard quite a few stories about servants, and the people here also have many stories. If you need, I can call them over and tell you about them."
Jiang Wanyan said gratefully, "Of course if you have one, thank you."
Although they were planning to open a haunted house, Jiang Wanyan only thought about how to make the atmosphere more terrifying and didn't think too much about it.
If there is a story, that's good.
Compared to some trivial scares that are obviously just for the sake of scaring people, having a story as the background is obviously more terrifying.
So that night, a group of people sat in the yard.
All the lights in the house were turned off, leaving only moonlight.
Ah Qing coughed lightly, shone the flashlight on his face, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this place used to be a mass grave, and there were strange noises every night."
Before she began to tell her story, she heard strange noises coming from the house.
Ah Qing screamed, threw away the flashlight, jumped up and ran.
Amid the noise, Xi Chenzhu heard Jiang Wanyan's soft shout.
