Before leaving, Zhang Meng asked Liao Qingting if there were any houses for sale nearby.
The three little ones were running in front, and Zhang Meng and Grandma Zhang were following behind.
Soon, the group arrived outside a courtyard house.
As soon as Grandma Zhang saw this courtyard house, she fell in love with it.
Zhang Meng originally wanted to ask Grandma Zhang if she liked it, but when she turned around and saw the joy on her face, she thought, no need to ask, it seemed that she liked it.
Zhang Meng immediately called the three little ones who were playing nearby to follow her, and the family of five went inside.
The woman who was washing clothes in the yard immediately stopped and looked at Zhang Meng and others who came in. "What are you doing? What are you doing in my house?"
The woman's face was green and yellow, with dark circles under her eyes. She looked like she hadn't slept for half a year.
Zhang Meng took a look at the courtyard house and a meaningful smile flashed across her lips. No wonder they were in a hurry to sell it.
"I heard that the house here is for sale? We came here to look at it!" Zhang Meng walked over and said.
When the woman heard this, she immediately stood up and warmly invited Zhang Meng and the others to come in and sit down.
As soon as I entered, an old woman's voice immediately rang out, "Daughter-in-law, who is here?"
The woman immediately responded to the old woman inside, "Mom, I'm here to see the house!"
Then, the old woman inside happily instructed her daughter-in-law, "Then you must treat them well, do you hear me?"
The woman quickly responded, "I know, Mom. I will."
The woman immediately turned around and told Zhang Meng and the others, "That person inside is my mother-in-law. She's a little sick and is lying in bed."
After looking around the house, Grandma Zhang said to the woman happily, "My dear, how come your house is so cool in such hot weather? Did you put some ice in it?"
After hearing what Grandma Zhang asked, the woman's face paled. She didn't dare look directly at Grandma Zhang and looked around as she answered, "No, there's no ice. It's because this house, it's constructed differently from the houses we usually live in. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer."
When Grandma Zhang heard this, she immediately smiled happily and continued, "So this house has such a good use. Why would you sell such a nice house?"
The woman's face turned even paler, her lips began to tremble, and she stammered, "My family needs some money to save our lives, so I sold it."
When Zhang Meng heard this, a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Grandma, there are other places in this house. You and Xiaobao can go and look around. I'll talk to this elder sister here about this house." Zhang Meng said to Grandma Zhang.
Grandma Zhang didn't think much about it and immediately called Xiaobao and the other two to go out and visit the room.
Seeing this, the woman opened her mouth several times, and finally looked at Grandma Zhang and the others with a worried look on her face as they walked out.
Zhang Meng kept looking at her, and seeing the worry about Grandma Zhang and the others on her face, she felt a little bit of a liking for this woman.
"Sister, your house is not clean!" Zhang Meng said with a smile.
When the woman heard this, her face immediately turned as pale as paper and she looked at Zhang Meng in shock.
After being stunned for a moment, he immediately pretended to be confused and said, "Sister, I, I don't understand what you are saying. My house is very clean. I have cleaned every corner. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."
Zhang Meng sneered, "Sister, stop playing dumb. What I'm talking about isn't the uncleanness you're talking about. Do you want me to explain it more clearly?"
The woman pursed her lips, and cold sweat slowly seeped out of her forehead.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng chuckled, "Okay, it seems you won't give up until I tell you the truth. Then I'll be frank. Your house is haunted! If I'm not mistaken, your family must be haunted by the ghosts in this house every day. Am I right?"
The woman immediately looked up in surprise. "How could you possibly know all this? Who are you?"
Zhang Meng smiled, "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to tell me, is what I said right?"
The woman lowered her head in disappointment. After a while, she sighed heavily and said, "Yes, you are right. This house is indeed haunted!"
Zhang Meng immediately looked at her and asked, "What's the situation? If you don't mind, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."
