Chapter 214: The Haunted Shop

The matchmaker just introduced someone to me, and I have to go meet her tomorrow to make a decision.

The man said that she had to get married on July 7th, but at that time, the autumn harvest had not yet begun.

After her daughter gets married, her son will be the only one doing the work, and she can't bear to see her son working so hard.

Although they each have their own agenda, they appear to be like real sisters.

Arm in arm, they walked towards the foot of the mountain, close to each other, and laughed happily, to dig wild vegetables together.

Outside the village, the Jiang family's ox cart suddenly stopped.

It turned out that Jiang Eryong saw Jiang Zichong who was hurrying on his way.

"Zi Chong, are you going to the town? Come on, get on the ox cart, I'll take you there."

After Jiang Eryong finished speaking, he extended his hand to Jiang Zichong.

Jiang Zichong did not refuse.

He sat up.

Zhang Jinlan, who was standing by, held the box without saying anything. Zi Chong was a nice kid.

It's no big deal to take a ride.

After sitting firmly, Jiang Dahe whipped him lightly.

The oxcart continued on its way.

Jiang Fubao didn't sleep anymore.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and watched her second uncle chatting with Jiang Zi Chong.

"Why didn't we run into you when we went to the town before?" Jiang Eryong asked him curiously.

"I left before dawn and arrived in town before the city gate opened. Later, the shopkeeper told me not to come so early and asked me to go later. I slept a little longer. Brother Eryong, you will probably run into me often in the future, but don't worry, I can walk to town by myself, so you don't have to take me with you often."

Jiang Zichong touched the back of his head and chuckled.

He was able to wash dishes at Liu Ji Food House thanks to the introduction by Er Yong.

Therefore, he spoke with a respectful attitude.

Even a little cautious.

"It's up to you. Since you're going, do your job well. How about your brother? Did he find a job?"

Jiang Eryong continued to ask.

"He can't stand hardship. He found a job as a casual laborer before, but he only worked for a whole morning and was scolded by his employer. He ran away without even getting paid. Seeing how he was doing, I let him stay at home and farm."

The two of them chatted idly.

After an hour, the ox cart arrived at the city gate, lined up for inspection, and entered the city.

Just as Jiang Dahao was turning the corner with the ox cart, Jiang Lingu sat alone on a rented ox cart and left the city.

When they were almost at the shop, Zhang Jinlan wanted to send Jiang Zichong to Liu's Restaurant, but he refused.

I had to get off right in front of Jiang’s Snack Shop.

Unable to persuade him, Jiang Dahe stopped the ox cart and let him get off.

Today Jiang's Snack Shop is different from usual.

Whenever Jiang Dahe and Jiang Eryong welcomed a guest, they would tell them that the shop was about to move out.

Therefore, almost all the old customers knew that Jiang’s Snack Shop would move to a new location in two days.

morning.

Jiang Fubao went to the dental clinic with his grandmother.

The wooden box containing the money was placed in the shop, kept by my mother; my grandmother did not take it with her.

If you really like the shop, it won’t be too late to go back and ask for the money.

This time, Zhang Jinlan did not go to the dental clinic she had been to before.

She was afraid of being cheated again, after all, the broker was unreliable.

He didn't find out the truth, which caused her to be tortured by Wan.

I wanted to go and make some noise, but the pawnshop has the support of the government, so it’s better to keep out of trouble.

As an ordinary citizen, Zhang Jinlan could only avoid it.

I visited four shops in a row and was extremely disappointed with each one.

Either they are too small, or the location is too remote, or both, and the rent is expensive.

Holding granddaughter.

Zhang Jinlan returned home disappointed.

She walked in from the front of the shop. Jiang Eryong saw his mother coming back and asked quickly, "Mom, what do you think of the shop? Do you like anything?"

"No, not anywhere. After dinner, I'll go to another dental shop on the other street this afternoon to ask. If I can't find a suitable one, I'll just rent one. Anyway, with these regular customers, the business may be a little worse, but I won't lose money."

Zhang Jinlan said this in a low mood.

At this moment, a customer who was eating cold noodles spoke up.

"Are you looking for a shop, boss? I know a shop with a great location and it's cheap. It's not for rent, it's for sale. It only costs two hundred and twenty taels."

He had just finished speaking.

The shop suddenly became quiet.

Yang Wanli, who often came to the shop to eat, put down his chopsticks.

"Brother Wang, are you talking about the Moon Viewing Restaurant next door? That shop is not available for purchase. How can you introduce such a shop to her? If something goes wrong, how can you feel at ease?"

Yang Wanli spoke in a stern tone.

He usually had a good temper, but now he showed anger on his face.

"I'm just saying this casually. Anyway, the shopkeeper is looking for a shop. If he doesn't have enough money, he might as well buy the Moon Viewing Restaurant. At most, he won't live in the backyard. What can go wrong if he sells food in broad daylight?"

Wang Yongchang, who is called Brother Wang, feels a little guilty.

But when he thought that he was also trying to find a shop for the Jiang family snack shop, he felt justified.

"Shopkeeper Yang, I wonder what's wrong with the Wangyue Food Manor you mentioned?"

Zhang Jinlan listened for a long time.

She was somewhat interested.

So I asked Yang Wanli.

"Hey, I'm telling you the truth. This shop is right next door. You should always see a shop without a signboard when you pass by it on weekdays. It's closed all year round, right? Such a good location can be rented out in less than three days. That shop is really not clean! Originally, that shop was a restaurant. I went there several times.

The shopkeeper was familiar to me, but within three months, he suddenly fell ill and passed away. The shop was sold, and the person who took over opened a restaurant, and the business was still good. This alley is full of people, and no business would be bad. But who would have thought that within three months, the new shopkeeper's daughter suddenly died, and the shop was sold seven or eight times in a row. "

As Yang Wanli spoke, he shuddered.

I got goose bumps on my arms.

He licked his lips, rubbed them, and continued.

"Until the last shopkeeper who took over suddenly went crazy and started making noises in the street, saying that there was a ghost in the backyard of his shop. In the middle of the night, the dog would bark at the corner of the yard, and he could always hear someone walking around in the house, but he couldn't see anyone.

Not only that, sometimes there are children and women crying in the yard. Therefore, those who died suddenly or from illness before were all contaminated by ghosts, otherwise how could they die out of nowhere? Therefore, this shop has been empty for more than a year and cannot be sold. Shopkeeper Zhang, please don't buy it. I don't want you to get into trouble."

Yang Wanli looked nervous and solemn.

He advised.

"It's not as outrageous as you say. Only two people died. The madman at the end might have been talking nonsense. Anyway, I don't believe it."

Wang Yongchang sipped his cold noodles and said quietly.

"You don't believe it? Why is such a big shop only sold for 220 taels? Why don't you buy it? You go to Linxiang and spend 450 taels to buy a location that's not as good as this one, or even a shop this big?"

Yang Wanli sneered.

He retorted.
