Chapter 215 Yu's House

"Ahem, I just sell wine. Why would I buy such a big shop? Isn't it a waste?"

When Wang Yongchang heard what Yang Wanli said, he accidentally choked on his saliva and started coughing violently.

He stammered out an explanation and then said nothing more.

After a while, Zhang Jinlan returned to the backyard with her granddaughter in her arms, but she was in a daze.

"Grandma, do you want to buy that shop?"

Jiang Fubao looked up and asked.

She simply didn't believe there were ghosts in the backyard of that shop. If there really were ghosts in this world, why had she never seen the original owner?

I'm afraid it's just a man-made illusion.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to take advantage of the situation at home?

Two hundred and twenty taels, at this price, you can only buy a corner in a remote alley.

And there's no backyard.

To put it in context, it would be about 2.2 million to buy a mansion worth tens of millions in modern times.

Let me ask you, who wouldn’t be moved?

Besides, this is just the price set by the seller.

If grandma comes to the rescue, at least ten or twenty taels of silver can be returned.

That's even cheaper.

"Well, grandma wants to go take a look this afternoon. Fubao, stay in the shop obediently. Grandma won't take you with her."

Zhang Jinlan was indeed moved.

After all, the price is too cheap.

If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.

She planned to go around alone.

If she really felt uncomfortable the moment she entered the shop, she would definitely not buy anything.

So she doesn't plan to take care of her granddaughter.

After all, the granddaughter is only three years old.

If it gets contaminated with something bad, it's over.

"No, I want to go, grandma, please take me there. I have the gods to protect me, it's okay."

Jiang Fubao naturally felt uneasy about letting his grandmother go to the shop alone.

She shook her head, pouted her lips and acted awkward, and even brought up the immortals in an attempt to force her grandmother to agree.

"Fubao, stop bothering your grandma and come to your mother."

Zhang Yanzi saw her daughter making a fuss and hurriedly called her back.

Jiang Fubao just ignored it.

She pretended not to hear.

Buying a shop is a big event in the family.

After so many days here, this is the first time the family wants to buy a shop, and she has to check it.

So she hugged her grandmother's calves tightly, whining and refusing to let go.

There is no way.

Zhang Jinlan, who has always loved her granddaughter, had no choice but to compromise.

Jiang Fubao then revealed a satisfied smile, while Zhang Yanzi, who was kneading dough nearby, felt helpless.

My mother-in-law really dotes on her daughter.

But she didn't say much.

After all, she is also spoiled...

It's the same thing as the other, so don't blame anyone.

At noon, after finishing their meal, the grandfather and grandson went out again to look after the shop next door.

They walked for two minutes and soon arrived at the Wangyue Restaurant.

The shop's signboard had been taken down long ago and the door was still closed. A piece of yellowed and torn paper was pasted on the door. The writing had become blurred after being hit by the previous rain and was completely unreadable.

Zhang Jinlan had no choice but to carry her granddaughter to ask the owner of the bun shop next door.

Only then did I learn that the owner of Wangyue Food Shop and his family all lived in Tianqing Lane on Shibu Street.

Shibu Street is not far from Baishi Street, just next door.

It took the grandfather and grandson less than a quarter of an hour to reach Tianqing Lane.

This place is much quieter than Haochixiang.

Most of the people living here are embroiderers, or they run cloth shops and do fabric business at home.

Zhang Jinlan didn't know where the owner of Wangyue Food Shop was.

She had no choice but to ask everyone one by one.

The third person she asked happened to be a neighbor of the person she was looking for.

Under her leadership.

Zhang Jinlan stood at the gate of Yu's house holding her granddaughter.

"Who are you to the Yu family? It seems that he has no relatives. Ever since the shopkeeper Yu became insane, the food shop has been closed, the cloth shop has also been closed, and almost no one has come to visit. It's really sad.

You say, how can a normal person go so crazy? He must be scared by the evil spirits in the shop. Hey, why am I saying all this? Just knock on the door yourself. I have something else to do, so I won’t accompany you.”

The woman leading the way seemed to be very talkative.

When she realized that she had said too much, she ran away.

Seeing her frightened expression, Zhang Jinlan suddenly felt a little regretful.

Shouldn't she have come?

Jiang Fubao saw that grandma was hesitating and took the initiative to help her make the choice.

“Boom boom boom—”

She knocked on the Yu family's door with her chubby little hands.

When Zhang Jinlan wanted to stop it, it was too late.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Fubao vaguely heard footsteps.

An old woman who was about the same age as grandma opened the door. She leaned out half of her body and looked at grandma in confusion, then lowered her head and looked at herself.

"Who are you?"

Fan Wanyue asked first.

"I heard that your shop is for sale. I want to go take a look. Is it convenient?"

Since her granddaughter was knocking on the door, Zhang Jinlan had no choice but to go ahead.

"You want to buy a shop? Do you know what happened to that shop?"

Fan Wanyue looked at the grandfather and grandson with a complicated expression.

"I know. Don't worry. I came here after asking around."

Zhang Jinlan nodded and told the truth.

"Okay, come in and sit down first. It's hot outside. I need to get a key before I can accompany you to see the shop."

She originally had this shop listed in a pawnshop, but because she couldn't sell it for a long time, the pawnshop refused to help her sell it.

So, she could only put a piece of paper on the front door of the shop.

I thought that if anyone wanted to buy it and saw the words on the paper, they would come to me.

But after waiting for half a year, no one came to me.

I originally thought there was no hope of selling this shop.

Who knew...

Looking at the grandparents and grandchildren in front of her, Fan Wanyue seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Two people have died in this shop, and my husband has gone crazy because of it. Although I really want to sell this shop, if you really want to buy it, I still suggest that you don't live in the backyard and leave the shop before dark."

Fan Wanyue advised.

Her words made Zhang Jinlan feel even more regretful.

But I can see my granddaughter walking forward with determination.

She could only swallow her saliva and replied, "No hurry, let's go take a look first."

The grandfather and grandson were led by Fan Wanyue to sit in the main hall.

She went to the house to get the keys.

Jiang Fubao stretched his head and looked left and right.

The Yu family's house was a bit old. The vermilion beams and pillars were no longer bright, and the carved tables and chairs had holes in the corners, as if they had been smashed by someone.

Even the doors and windows were badly worn.

But take a closer look at the wood.

All are fine mahogany and ebony.

It seems that the Yu family used to live a very wealthy life.

Just when Jiang Fubao was looking carefully.

An old man with unshaven beard and messy hair ran into the yard, shouting loudly.

"There is a ghost, there is a ghost, hurry up, leave, move away quickly, there is a wronged soul crying, she is asking for her life, asking for her life——"

The old man's voice was hoarse but sharp.

It sounded like a rusty iron pot being rubbed by a spatula.

Zhang Jinlan saw the whole scene and looked outside with a serious expression.

Did not speak.
