Chapter 30: Poor people are scarier than ghosts
This matter can also be put on the agenda.
"Mrs. Xu, I heard that one of your houses is haunted. Perhaps I can help you solve this problem."
Speaking of this haunted house, Mrs. Xu felt a little helpless.
"That house is strange. We have asked many masters to exorcise the ghosts. Every time we exorcise the ghosts, strange things will happen again after a year. After a few years of repeating this, I just don't care anymore."
After all, they have many houses, and although the house has an excellent location, no one dares to live there after something like this happened.
"Mrs. Xu, if you are willing to let me live in this house for a year, I will ensure that nothing will happen to it again."
"Master Lin, that house is indeed strange. People who live in it either get sick every other day or have nightmares every night, and suffer from neurasthenia. I think it's better for you not to live there."
Although he knew that Master Lin was a capable man, it was better to have less trouble than more. Master Lin had saved the lives of their entire family, so naturally he didn't want to take the risk.
"If Master Lin needed a house at that time, we just happened to have one next door, and you could stay there as long as you wanted."
This area of luxury houses was originally developed by the Xu family. At that time, they were afraid that their children would want to move out after getting married, so they left several houses nearby.
Lin Xiyue shook her head.
What she hates most is owing favors to others for no reason.
Living in that house, she helped them to exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts, and the Xu family allowed their entire family to live there for free. This is called mutual benefit.
But if the Xu family gave them an ordinary house to live in, then the nature of the situation would change.
Besides, the house really had no effect on her at all.
Seeing that Lin Xiyue insisted on taking over only the haunted house, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to hand over the key of the house to her.
"Master Lin, this house is abandoned and no one lives there. It's empty anyway. You and your family can stay here as long as you want."
Lin Xiyue took the key and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Xu, but my fate with this house is only one year."
Mrs. Xu showed confusion in her eyes, but Lin Xiyue did not explain further. She and Lin Zhenxing got into the car that the Xu family sent them.
"Mrs. Xu, please contact me on WeChat if you have any questions in the future."
After all, he was her big client, so Lin Xiyue was still very patient.
Thinking of the 10 million in her balance, Lin Xiyue's smile became more sincere.
It was already midnight when Lin Xiyue returned to the village in the city. She went back to her room and fell asleep.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. In her dream, little by little, golden lights gathered into Lin Xiyue's body.
I woke up early in the morning feeling refreshed.
The feeling of Reiki quickly recovering in the body is really wonderful.
Lin Xiyue washed her face casually and talked to her mother about moving while eating breakfast.
But she didn't tell Mother Lin that they moved into a legendary haunted house.
Lin Zhenxing didn't say anything either.
He knew that his wife was timid, and with their daughter around, Mother Lin would not see anything strange.
When she heard that a friend of Lin Xiyue wanted to borrow the mansion for them to live in, Lin's mother was a little uneasy.
Although Xixi said that she had done the other party a great favor, she really couldn't think of what her daughter could do to help.
But since her daughter didn't say anything, she couldn't get any information from her, so she just gave up.
The three brothers of the Lin family are not so easily fooled. After learning that they had moved into a haunted house, the eldest brother Lin was not afraid at all. Instead, he had a spirit of adventure.
"What's so scary about a haunted house? Isn't poverty the scariest thing in the world?"
Brother Lin looked around. The house was dark and narrow, and there was a moldy smell all day long.
When it rains heavily, the yard will be filled with water, just like crossing a river.
Sometimes the sleeping area would leak, and when it was windy, it felt colder inside the house than outside.
Doesn't this place look more like a haunted house?
In the past few months since my family went bankrupt, I have experienced the fickleness of human nature. Sometimes I feel that people are scarier than ghosts.
“Ahem… I’m not afraid of ghosts. I’ve never done anything shameful, nor have I ever harmed anyone… Ahem… What am I afraid of?” A blush crossed the face of Second Brother Lin. “As long as our family can be together, I’m not afraid of anything… Ahem…”
"I know the location of the haunted house. It's Bijiang Garden, a famous wealthy area. Although there is such a haunted house, it does not affect the surrounding villas at all."
There is no other reason, the environment there is really great.
The tree-lined greenway and lake water are all stunning.
Hearing what Brother Lin said, Brother Lin II became a little excited.
Brother Lin: "Big house, there are friends."
Considering that there was everything there, Lin Xiyue and the others simply packed their luggage, cleaned the house, and found the landlord.
When the landlord saw that they were checking out, his expression instantly turned sour.
This house has been vacant for three or four years. Finally, a few unlucky people were willing to take it over. But they have only lived here for less than half a year and they are moving out.
"Oh my! You guys have finally married into a wealthy family, and you're going to move over to enjoy your life so soon?"
The landlord was the most gossipy person, so he naturally knew that several waves of luxury cars had arrived at the Lin family in the past two days.
Her tone was sinister and sour. "I was talking about a girl with two kids, but you guys were so eager to take her back. So this is your idea. Also, this girl is pretty and has a good figure. There must be a few rich guys who will like her."
"If you keep spraying shit out of your mouth, I don't mind sending it to the toilet!"
Lin Xiyue's voice was cold and her eyes were chilly.
The landlord subconsciously took a few steps back, walked around her and quickly went into the house, muttering, "Hehe, the temper of a rich man is getting worse and worse... I can't afford to offend him."
Then she started to find fault, "You put wallpaper on this wall, which is considered to have damaged the original structure. You have to pay for it... And this chair, the legs were obviously good before, but you broke them after sitting on them, do you have to pay for it too?"
The landlord found fault everywhere in the house, even saying that the Lin family had installed a faucet that damaged the structure of the house and demanded compensation.
Lin Xiyue sneered as she listened, "I don't know whether the table legs are broken or not, but your legs are about to break."
Lin Xiyue had just finished speaking when the landlady stepped onto the stairs. Her foot slipped and with a click, she fell to the ground on her knee. She had actually broken her leg!
She sat on the ground with her legs hugged, howling like a ghost. Lin Xiyue kindly called 120 for her and then got into a taxi.
The car stopped in front of an old mansion.
The Lin family got out of the car and were stunned for a moment when they looked at the elegantly decorated mansion in front of them.
This house is well maintained and there is not a trace of ghost.
Brother Lin and his friends had already prepared themselves mentally on the way. The images of haunted houses that appeared in their minds were all eerie and terrifying, but what was this in front of them?
This house doesn't look like a haunted house, but more like a mansion with a garden design.
There is a garden at the entrance, with pavilions, flowing water, rockery and lotus leaves, all of which are very well maintained and show no signs of aging.
This house was Mrs. Xu's dowry and the last thing left to her by her grandmother, so she has always taken good care of it.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited so many experts to exorcise ghosts over the years.
Lin Zhenxing on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking about how to explain to his wife that the house they were going to live in was eerie, but the result was completely different from what he had imagined.
