The woman sighed again, and then slowly spoke, "Actually, this house was not mine before. It was given to my husband when he was a Red Guard. It should have been a happy event, but my family never expected that within a month or two after we moved into this house, everyone in the family would undergo earth-shaking changes. First, my father-in-law was walking on the street and was accidentally hit and broke his waist. After recuperating at home for half a month, he still died. Then, my husband was slandered for abusing his power for personal gain, and now he is being held in a cell for investigation." When she said this, the woman wiped away her tears.
Zhang Meng said, "I think this ghost has a grudge against your family. Does anyone in your family know this ghost?"
When the woman heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "How is that possible? We just moved into this place not long ago. How could we possibly know anyone in this family?"
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and a red shadow suddenly stood in front of the woman.
The red shadow grinned at the woman, then glanced at the room where the old woman had just spoken, his eyes full of hatred.
"Don't answer this question too quickly. I think you should go in and ask your mother-in-law if she knows a woman wearing red clothes and with a mole on the lower left side of her mouth." Zhang Meng told her.
The woman looked skeptical, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go in and ask my mother-in-law."
As soon as the woman left, the red-clothed ghost immediately stared at Zhang Meng, with a surprised expression on her pale face, "You can actually see me!"
Zhang Meng smiled and pointed to the seat where the woman had just sat. "Sit down and tell me your story!"
The red-clothed ghost snorted coldly, not appreciating the kindness. "What's there to say? I've heard what you said to the daughter-in-law just now. What's going on? Are you going to help them deal with me? If so, I, Hongying, am not afraid of you. At worst, I'll die with you."
Zhang Meng looked at the anger on her face and shook his head. "You have too much anger. This is not good. It's easy to become a demon. I advise you to stay calm."
Hongying sneered, "Become a demon, then be a demon. I'd rather be than. This way, I can avenge my family."
Just then, the woman who had just entered came out supporting an old woman.
When the red-clothed female ghost standing next to Zhang Meng saw the old woman, a ferocious expression immediately appeared on her face, and she flew towards the old woman with her arms outstretched.
Zhang Meng was startled and was about to take action when she suddenly saw a beam of golden light flash from the old woman's body, which immediately knocked the red-clothed female ghost flying towards her far away.
The female ghost in red fell to the ground and looked at the things on the old woman's body with fear. After a flash of unwillingness in her eyes, she quickly disappeared in the hall.
The old woman didn't know that she was almost attacked by a female ghost in red who was about to become an evil ghost.
"Master, I heard from my daughter-in-law that you have a way to help my family, is that right?" As the old woman approached, she immediately shook Zhang Meng's hand tightly and asked.
Zhang Meng took a look at the old woman's face and found that she had done a lot of evil things when she was young.
"Whether I can save your family is not up to me. It all depends on you, old lady. Only if you tell me everything about how you harmed that red-clothed ghost girl, can I help your family. Otherwise, I will be powerless."
When the old woman heard Zhang Meng's meaningful words, her face turned even paler. Her lips trembled several times, and she immediately looked away.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng smiled coldly. It seemed that the old woman still didn't want to tell the truth. But it didn't matter. After tonight, their family would have to beg her to come and listen.
Zhang Meng laughed when she saw this, but she didn't say anything more. She stood up and looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a mysterious look on her face. "Since it's not convenient for you, old man, I won't ask any more questions. How about this? When you have figured out what to say, you can come find me at the Liao family in Beijing. I live there."
When she said this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately looked over in shock.
"Comrade, you live in the Liao family. The Liao family you are talking about cannot be the famous Liao family in Beijing?" the woman asked a little uneasily.
Zhang Meng pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the place you were talking about."
Just then, Grandma Zhang, who had finished touring the courtyard, came back with Xiaobao and the others.
"Grandma, have you finished watching? If you have, let's go home and take a look!" Zhang Meng asked Grandma Zhang.
Grandma Zhang first glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and as if she had seen through something, she quickly replied, "That's it, let's go to the next one."
The family quickly left the courtyard with the woman at their side. The two adults and three children didn't stop until they had walked quite a distance.
Zhang Meng saw that they had been walking for quite a while, so she suggested going back to Liao's house. Xiao Tao immediately looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Sister Xiao Meng, aren't we going to look at another house? Why are we going home now?"
Zhang Meng smiled and said, "I just lied to them. We won't go to other houses later. Let's go home."
Xiao Tao rubbed his head in confusion. Grandma Zhang's wise eyes immediately turned to Zhang Meng, "Xiao Meng, tell me, is the price that family asked too high?"
Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "No, Grandma, the price they asked for isn't high, but their family is a bit troubled. In short, this matter can't be explained in a few words. But don't worry, we will definitely be able to buy that courtyard house."
