"How dare you talk like that? Who do you think you are? Why should we listen to you?" Xiao Tongke and several other men immediately stood in front and told Hua Xiangyun and the others to go back first.
Hua Xiangyun had no intention of continuing to entangle with him. If this person felt that the lesson was not enough, then she could add more to it tonight. Anyway, this area was already overrun with ghosts, so she thought they would be happy to do something for him.
When they returned to the Ren residence, everyone asked what exactly had happened the day before.
In fact, from these few short sentences of conversation, they already had a guess in their minds: Hua Xiangyun must have been cornered yesterday, but they didn't know how she escaped.
Hua Xiangyun didn't hide anything, "I also found it strange. The person who was blocking my way suddenly disappeared, so of course I took the opportunity to leave quickly. As for what happened after that, I don't know."
I don't understand what he came to ask today, but since I went to work this morning, I've heard what the villagers were saying—he was wrapped in a quilt and went to Captain Ren to borrow money early in the morning. Could there be something wrong here?
Hua Xiangyun pointed to her head and guessed, "We were all sitting and fanning ourselves, and it was so hot, but he was wrapped in a quilt and supposedly his whole body was freezing cold..."
Li Mingli felt a chill run down her spine. "Let's not talk about this anymore. If we keep going, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Wang Yayun disagreed, saying, "What's there to be afraid of? We encountered something similar last time. It was just someone playing tricks on us to scare us."
Do you think this scoundrel has offended someone and is being threatened in the same way?
“I think Ya Yun makes a good point,” Wu Yanxin nodded in agreement. “There were some legends in this village before, right? And when we first arrived, the older women came over and subtly told us that I suspect they made them up.”
To take it a step further, it could even be said that someone is deliberately creating a mystery to achieve some kind of purpose inside.
Hua Xiangyun didn't expect her friends to be so supportive today, managing to steer the thread off-center...
Erlaizi was completely bewildered. Had anyone actually been blocked yesterday? Was it really blocked?
The thought of these grown men disappearing right in front of Hua Xiangyun is enough to give me goosebumps.
"Where have you been again?" Da Laizi saw him and grabbed him, pulling him towards his home. "Go back and rest for a bit before you go to work. Otherwise, with so much money owed to the brigade headquarters, we won't be able to celebrate the New Year."
Erlaizi said, "...Big brother, you shouldn't wander around anymore. Try to earn some work points."
It's best to avoid walking at night, otherwise it's not safe..."
They could run into each other even before it got dark. This older brother always sneaks around in the dark; hopefully he won't get into any more trouble, or things will get even harder for the family.
Da Lai Zi witnessed that scene firsthand at Wu Shen Po's place, realizing that some things they had never believed in were real, and he felt a sense of dread in his heart.
"Okay, next time I'll go out during the day, and stay home with you at night."
If he were to run into this situation and ask the brigade headquarters for a loan, the brigade leader would probably refuse, since he wouldn't be working and therefore would have no source of income.
Forget it, I'd better behave myself these days and earn some work points, so that I'll have a backup plan if I ever run into trouble later.
Besides, he was genuinely scared. He used to walk alone at night every day without a care in the world, but now that he thought about it, there might be someone following him...
I can't think about it anymore. I'll probably be living in fear every night from now on. I'd better stay in the village. At least if something happens, the neighbors will help out for the sake of the deceased old man.
Hua Xiangyun never expected that her intention to teach them a lesson so they wouldn't harm others would backfire so quickly.

A few more peaceful days passed, but the courtyard in Heping County was unusually lively today.
Jiang Yi originally didn't want to meddle, but because the commotion was so great, and Hua Xiangyun's family was also there, he went over to see what was going on.
Hua Zhiping pulled him aside. The elderly couple from the Hua family were standing there. As for his wife, Li Lijuan, her belly had dropped into her pelvis these past few days, so she didn't dare to come out and join in the fun.
"What on earth is going on? Doesn't anyone have to go to work?" Jiang Yi knew that everyone liked to join in the fun, but with work time approaching, these people still showed no signs of leaving.
Even his brother-in-law, who usually dislikes joining in the fun, was now staring intently ahead.
"This is going to be good, you don't know, do you? He Ping'an was cornered in bed by Bai Ailian early this morning..."
Jiang Yi, “…” What kind of messed-up relationship is this? What is the connection between He Ping’an and Bai Ailian?
"If you can't say it, don't talk nonsense," Tian Guihua said, giving her eldest grandson a slap in annoyance. "Last night, He Ping'an somehow ended up at the Zhou family's house and shared a bed with Zhou Xiaolan. They caught him red-handed this morning, and now the two families are arguing."
Jiang Yi, “…” So the official pairing has been completely broken up. I wonder who made the stupid decision.
With such a main dish served so early in the morning, Jiang Yi wasn't in a hurry to rush to work. Anyway, his job was quite flexible, so he could be a little late.
"I think He Ping'an must have some bad intentions this time, otherwise why would he go to the Zhou family?" someone said mysteriously from the side. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Bai Zhaodi.
Jiang Yi stepped back slightly, not even realizing when this person had approached.
Bai Zhaodi felt a little disappointed. She really wanted to get along well with this person. After all, her son would be of school age to go to the countryside in the next year or two. If he could be assigned to a place nearby, she would be willing to put on a good face for him.
But who is Bai Zhaodi? To please someone, she has to swallow her pride. "Tian Guihua, do you want to know more?"
Even if there were many grudges in the past, Tian Guihua still had to curry favor with them so that she could ask for their help in the future.
When Tian Guihua saw her approaching like this, she felt like she had seen a ghost, but she couldn't refuse someone who was smiling, so she could only say stiffly, "When men and women get together, it's all the same old stuff, it's just that we're getting old and our information is outdated."
You know, there's no information in this compound that these old ladies can't find out.
I've never heard of the Ho family's son dating Zhou Xiaolan before, so how come they're sharing a bed?
“He Ping’an hates Zhou Xiaolan to death, how could he possibly be with her?” Bai Zhaodi saw Tian Guihua speak up and knew that the relationship had eased a bit today, so she quickly moved closer to her and said, “Isn’t it strange? These two people who usually don’t interact anymore, how come they are in the same room again?”
Tian Guihua said, "...Alright, just speak properly, stop being so mysterious."
