The mayor nodded, "So, what are the scary gadgets?"
Zhou Xiang had never been to a haunted house in his previous life, so he really didn't know what to get.
Ling Ran gave the mayor a tip, "There's a fake mannequin, fake sword, and fake wooden barn in amusement parks in big cities. There's an amusement park called a haunted house. The mayor can bring the legend and go to the big city to find and customize the props."
The mayor was a little hesitant. He had just received tens of thousands of yuan. Was it enough for him to make such a fuss? "How about I let you guys build this tunnel?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "No, it's better to let the town government handle it. We can't do this privately. If someone deliberately makes trouble, saying we're too scary and scared them, and then comes to blackmail them, that would be bad."
She prefers a sweet style and doesn't want such horror and thriller themes!
Ling Ran also agreed. They didn't have time to deal with these scoundrels all day long. Especially if the scoundrels knew they were from the Zhou family, there would be even more trouble.
Seeing that neither of them was willing to answer, the mayor asked, "What's so attractive about this haunted house?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "It's hard to say. You can go and experience it yourself. Although it's a recreational activity in a big city, our river park in the town is also a boost. Perhaps this terrifying tunnel can also reap a lot of benefits."
Seeing that the mayor was still hesitant, Zhou Xiang asked, "Does the mayor have any difficulties?"
The mayor asked tentatively, "How much budget do you need for what you're talking about?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I don't quite understand this. I guess it's at least 20,000 yuan! I don't know if I can get it back in the future!"
Zhou Xiang wanted to tell the truth, the town was a small place and it would definitely not attract many tourists at the beginning.
However, "Mayor, you can go to the city's Tourism Bureau to apply for a project and development funds, and then spread the legend of the Wei family. It should be able to attract nearby tourists, especially those who have heard of the Wei family.
They say that the bold die of overeating, while the timid die of starvation. You can't guarantee that you will make money no matter what you do, but if you don't do it, you will definitely not make any money.
The mayor laughed. "Yes, you're right. The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. If I don't dare to take a single step, then I'll just be standing still."
The mayor spent the rest of the time discussing the experience of obtaining the permit with Ling Ran.
Until the people who went down to investigate the cave came back, the situation they reported was the same as what Ling Ran said.
The mayor stood up and said, "Once I get my application approved, I'll come buy that shabby house from Miss Zhou! Your idea of digging the river to the street has been shattered."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. At least there is one more project in town, right?"
Ling Ran went to see the mayor off. Zhou wanted him to tell his cousin to tell the father and son not to touch the dilapidated house for the time being, and to go directly to the river to work tomorrow.
Ling Ran and the mayor left. Zhou Xiang sat down and thought about why he didn't discover the tunnel when he demolished the dilapidated house in his previous life?
Could it be because he wanted to dig a river channel and asked for the silt at the bottom to be cleared, and he met a father and son who were down-to-earth?
How deep was that large stone slab dug out? If it was quite deep, then whoever demolished this house in the past life might have simply shallowed the bottom of the pond and filled it with soil to hide the stench, thus permanently covering up the tunnel underneath.
Ling Ran came back and saw her thinking, so he sat down beside her and asked.
Zhou Xiang told him his thoughts, and Ling Ran nodded, "It's very likely that this is the case. My cousin already knows about the tunnel and blames us for being so bold."
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "I knew you would be nagged, so I asked you to go."
Ling Ran rubbed her head and stood up, "I'm going home."
"Well! Let's go back!"
The river has been intercepted at the location of the Yang family's backyard wall. The dam made of mud is neat and tidy, and when the dam is dismantled later, excess mud will not flow into the riverbed.
The northern section is 220 meters. The diesel pump pumps the river water to the southern section. The water in the southern section is almost level with the river bank, but there is still some water left in the northern section.
They then sent in a rented boat-shaped dredge to suck out the silt and water and discharge them into a large pit dug on the other side of the stinking ditch.
Large rocks and cement were pulled into the family compound one after another. Zhou wanted Ling Ran to take people to dismantle the plank road to facilitate the entry and exit of large trucks.
The family compound was bustling with activity, and the open space was almost completely occupied by these stone materials. Yang Cheng had no choice but to discuss it with his wife.
"Let's rent a place first! Judging by the speed of the construction, our house should be demolished soon. Besides, how long can we stay here? Buildings can't be completed in a short time."
Yang Cheng's wife agreed that there was no spare space in the family compound for her family to store the materials. Moreover, the Zhou family's matter was public, while theirs was private, so it would be better for them to stay away.
Yang Cheng started looking for a house in the town. In just two days, he rented a house and started moving. After he finished moving, he handed the key to Xie Lin the next day.
Xie Lin didn't expect Yang Cheng to give up quietly. If he had done so earlier, how could so many bad things have happened?
Since the Yang family's house was vacant, Ma Gua sent people to demolish it.
Zhou Xiang looked around the Yang family home one last time. Here, there were traces of her childhood. She sighed softly. Ling Ran held her hand and said, "Let's go home!"
"good!"
In just half a day, the Yang family disappeared. Aunt Wang ran to the Zhou family to find Zhou Xiang. She had just stayed with her eldest son for a few days. When she came back, the family compound had changed a lot.
After hearing Zhou Xiang's plan, Aunt Wang sighed, "The Yang family is no longer my neighbor. Why do I feel uncomfortable?"
Zhou Xiang laughed, "Auntie Wang, do you think there's nothing fun to watch?"
Aunt Wang shook her head. "Not entirely. I just feel a little empty inside."
"You are just lacking an opponent, you are like Dugu Qiubai!" After saying that, Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Wang also laughed, "It's a bit like that. Without an opponent, my life has lost its purpose."
This was an answer Zhou Xiang had not expected. It seemed that Aunt Wang often visited her son and was very knowledgeable!
"Auntie Wang, is this the only goal in your life?"
Aunt Wang nodded seriously. "Yes, I don't have to worry about my children anymore. It's so boring for your uncle Wang and I to stare at each other every day."
After chatting for a while, Aunt Wang left. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that the man next to her who was glaring at her would stare her in the face.
Ling Ran stood next to the little girl and said, "Auntie Wang is too nagging."
Zhou Xiang raised his head and glanced at him, "I quite like chatting with her."
Ling Ran raised his head and pointed at his nose, "I'm right here, you can talk to me!"
"Nothing to talk about."
Ling Ran choked, then lowered his head slightly in grievance, his nose almost touching Zhou Xiang's.
"It hurts. I can't even compare to an old lady."
Zhou Xiang took a step back and said, "Yes! There is no comparison."
After saying that, she ran out of the living room. This guy could flirt with her anytime and anywhere. She couldn't afford to offend him, but she could afford to avoid him.
Ling Ran looked at the back of the girl who hurried away and smiled triumphantly. Under his deliberate teasing, the little girl could hardly bear it anymore.
