Shen Li shook her head, "It's okay, that's all I want."
Manager Hao: "But, if you take these back, what if..."
These flowers are not cheap. What should I do if I lose some and have to take them back?
"It's okay, I have someone special at home who can take care of it."
Seeing her insistence, Manager Hao stopped trying to persuade her. "That's fine, but please be extra careful with these flowers when you take them back. If there's any damage, our manor won't compensate you."
"Can."
The plum trees that Chen Li wanted were cultivated only last year, and it has only been a year so far. Alas, I don’t know whose daughter it is, but these seedlings died directly because they were not taken care of properly. Isn’t this a waste?
Although he had this idea in his heart, he had to do the business when it came to his door. Manager Hao used the abacus to calculate the silver for Chen Li. The things Chen Li bought cost a total of 320 taels of silver, among which the peony was the most expensive.
However, after taking a look at the seedlings on the ground, Manager Hao silently gave Chen Li a zero, so that the girl wouldn't come back to settle the score if she killed the flowers and trees later.
"Miss, the total is three hundred taels of silver. Do you need me to deliver these flowers to your house?"
"No, I have a carriage."
Chen Li took out three 100-tael silver notes from his sleeve and gave them to him. After the servants packed the flowers, he drove away in the carriage.
After leaving the farm, Shen Ni put all the flowers into the space. Although it cost so much money now, the space will be self-sufficient in the future, with good quality and high returns.
Chen Li did not go back directly. She planned to buy a house in the county town so that if something happened in the future and she could not go back to the county town, she would have a place to stay.
Chen Li went straight to the dental shop, the same one Cheng Jian had introduced her to last time. Boss Wu greeted Chen Li warmly as soon as he saw her coming over. "Miss Chen, what are you looking to buy today?"
"I want to buy a house."
"Please come in."
After hearing Chen Li's purpose of coming, he became even more enthusiastic. He quickly asked the waiter in the store to serve Chen Li tea and snacks, while he went to get a stack of information.
"Miss Shen, you came at the perfect time. I actually have quite a few houses. More and more people are settling in the county town now. If you had come a few days later, there might not be so many houses. Let me introduce you to some."
"Oh, are there more and more refugees coming here for resettlement recently?"
"Yes, our county town has become much more lively."
Chen Li nodded thoughtfully, and then listened to him talk a lot.
Chunni pointed to two of the houses, one was a four-courtyard house on Changqing Street, and the other was a three-courtyard house on Chang'an Street.
Boss Wu bared his big white teeth and said, "Then I'll take you to see it now."
"Um."
He grabbed a bunch of keys from the table and walked out with Chen Li. The carriage they took was Yaxing's, so Chen Li's carriage was left here for the time being.
Next, Boss Wu took Chen Li to visit both houses for a long time, but Chen Li was not very satisfied with either one. She always felt that the two houses were a little disappointing.
"Anything else?"
Boss Wu also noticed that Miss Shen was not very satisfied with these two houses, but these two houses were already the best in location among those he had.
No, there is one more, but...
Catching the look on his face, Shen Li spoke directly: "There are other houses, right?"
"Yes, but the house is a bit spooky. No one dares to go in on weekdays, so..."
I heard that the house was a bit spooky, which piqued Chen Li's interest.
"Where is this house? Can Boss Wu take me to see it?"
"this……"
Hearing her say that she wanted to go, Boss Wu's face flashed with fear. After hesitating for a while, he finally said:
"Miss Shen, I won't hide it from you anymore. To tell you the truth, the location and style of that house are excellent even now, but in the past seven years, the house has never been sold because... it's haunted!"
The last two words were spoken in a very low voice. If she didn't have good hearing, she would not have been able to hear it. When Boss Wu said this, he looked around, and he looked as if he had really seen it.
"Has Boss Wu ever seen it with his own eyes?"
"Yeah," he said, reaching out to pinch the purse hanging on his waist, "Two years ago, I happened to pass by that night and heard a child's shrill screams coming from inside."
"That scream went deep into my eardrums and frightened me so much that I almost fainted on the spot."
"There was also a beggar who had nowhere to go on a rainy day, so he stayed there. In the middle of the night, he saw a figure in white clothes floating by. When he was found the next day, he was terrified!"
Boss Wu didn't forget to observe Chen Li's expression while he was talking. He found that the girl seemed to be getting more and more excited the more she listened?!
"Miss Shen, this house is really uninhabitable. In the past two years, the noise has been getting louder and louder, and several residents around here have moved away."
"real?"
"It's natural."
"Boss Wu, take me over there to take a look."
"ah!"
Boss Wu shook his hands like rattles, "No, no, that place is too weird. We grown men avoid it. It's not right for a little girl like you to go there!"
Seeing his resistance, Chen Li frowned slightly, "Then how about this, Boss Wu, tell me where the place is and I'll go there myself."
Boss Wu's face was full of anxiety, "No, why are you so stubborn, little girl?"
Then he saw Chen Li still looking at him with a smile, and asked through gritted teeth: "Are you really going?"
"Um."
Boss Wu sighed deeply and looked up at the sky. Although there was no sun today, it was still broad daylight, so it should be no big deal to go there!
He stomped his feet with determination and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll take you there."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu."
Boss Wu drove the carriage over there and turned back to ask Chen Li more than a dozen times along the way, "Are you really going?"
Every time Chen Li nodded patiently, perhaps because he asked too many questions, he felt embarrassed.
Why do I suddenly feel that I, a man in my forties, am not as brave as a teenage girl?
He instantly felt a little embarrassed!
"Uncle Wu, tell me about the situation in that house!"
"Okay, that house was originally the private residence of a high-ranking official. However, he made some mistake and was demoted. He returned to Qingxi County with his wife and children."
"Seven years ago, on a stormy night, someone provoked an enemy from nowhere, and overnight, the Mo family was completely slaughtered. They were not discovered until the next morning. The Mo residence was a sea of blood, and everyone who saw it sighed in grief."
"Hasn't the government found out?"
Boss Wu shook his head. "It was thundering and raining that day, and no one was outside. The traces would have been washed away long ago."
So that’s it!
"Is there anyone from the Mo family who survived?"
Boss Wu had a complicated expression on his face. "According to the government, not really."
