After a peaceful night's sleep, Chu Xi didn't care at all about how the Shi family's old house spent the night. She resumed her comfortable life of studying, farming, and doting on her children.
The Shi family, who had almost not slept all night, finally heard the crowing of the rooster that they had been waiting for all night. In their minds, the crowing of the rooster and the rising of the sun were the signs that all the sneaky things were beginning to hide.
The Shi family, whose bodies had been stiff all night, finally slowly walked out of the house. Looking at the red sun, they finally let out the breath they had been holding in their hearts...
The people who walked out of the house supporting each other looked at each other with puzzled expressions. There was no way to explain why this was "haunted".
It was at this moment that Mrs. Shi, who had been listless all night, finally regained some spirits. She realized that something seemed different at home, as if something was missing...
Why is the yard so empty? Where's the wheelbarrow? Where are the chickens, ducks, and piglet? Where's the pile of firewood?
For a moment, everyone looked panicked. Looking at the empty yard, everyone hurried back to their rooms to start checking...
"Oh, God, this is not going to make people live?"
"Have we invited some big thief here? This is too heartless. They won't leave anything for us..."
"Oh my god, who did this? It deserves to be struck by lightning..."
Especially Old Lady Shi, her swift movements were totally unlike those of a lady in her sixties. She rushed to her kang in the blink of an eye, looked at the bulging cloth bag in the kang hole under the mattress, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and opened it carefully.
Huh? A wad of toilet paper? Her eyes went dark from joy to sorrow, and she nearly fainted. Trembling, she turned around and looked at Old Man Shi, who was equally stunned and bewildered. Their eyes met, both speechless.
Suddenly, Mrs. Shi seemed to have thought of something, and immediately rushed to the wardrobe at the head of the bed, reaching out to touch the mezzanine...
At the beginning, Old Man Shi was still in a daze. Is this old lady hysterical? Isn’t the money all in this kang hole?
But suddenly I started to hope that my husband might have some private money. That would be great too. We have to make a living after all...
However, before the joy could be transferred to her face, she saw the old lady with a dead look on her face. It was as if her soul had been sucked out of her, and her eyes were lifeless...
This? Gone too? This is really weird.
Listening to the noise in the yard again, Old Man Shi could only sigh, his eyes a little dazed, and suddenly seeing the empty room, he realized that the damn ghost had not even spared other miscellaneous things in his room. Except for the bedding used last night, everything else was gone.
"It's all gone, all gone! This must be years of savings..."
For a moment, the children were speechless. The main reason was that the atmosphere at home was too depressing. They were all filled with grief and anger.
If it was stolen, they could still make a scene, look for it, or call the police, and at least they could recover some of the loss. But how could they tell anyone about it now?
Old Madam Shi walked out of the room with an expressionless face. Her face and skin were now tinged with dark complexion, with a hint of gray in the black, as if she would collapse at any moment and report to the King of Hell...
After a long silence, everyone squatted in their own yard. Old Man Shi felt in his pocket and found that even the pipe he had been smoking for many years was gone. He could only sigh and continue to sit there...
"Mom, I'm hungry..."
In the end, it was the youngest child in Shi Jianjun's family who couldn't hold back his stomach's rumbling and spoke in an almost inaudible voice.
Everyone then remembered that they hadn't had breakfast yet. The exhausted second daughter-in-law had no choice but to go to the kitchen, but...
Looking at the empty kitchen, there was not even an iron pot, firewood or water tank. It was so cruel.
The empty kitchen seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Unable to hold back any longer, she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears...
When the others heard this shrill cry, they burst into tears as well. Even the children burst into tears. For a moment, the Shi family's old house seemed to be in mourning...
Chu Xi, who had been observing silently, finally curled up the corners of her mouth. Let's just say they were seeing off Silly Ni...
