Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Liu Dashan, the Party branch secretary, was immediately taken aback.
The Bai family's old residence is practically a taboo place here.
The village put the house up for rent in the hopes of finding a fearless educated youth who could keep the house in check.
After all, such a large old house is just sitting empty anyway. It was once the Bai family, which was once very powerful. It's a pity they were born at the wrong time. Now they have been completely defeated.
There are still some members of the Bai family in the village, but they are not doing very well.
But that was an order from above, and the villagers had no choice.
Actually, the villagers treated the Bai family quite well. No one in the village betrayed them for what happened back then.
Unfortunately, the Bai family of Crescent Moon Mountain had close ties with the Bai family in the capital, so they were caught in the crossfire.
The Bai family in the capital is having a tough time these days. So many of their members have been defeated, how could they possibly care about their distant relatives?
It was only natural that they were suppressed.
In fact, many villagers in this village were secretly taking care of the Bai family.
This is because the Bai family was known for their philanthropy and had a long history of influence in the village, spanning over a century.
Almost every household in the village has benefited from the kindness of the Bai family.
Therefore, many people couldn't stand by and watch the Bai family be defeated and suppressed back then.
However, when the power struggle at the top spills over to this area, it becomes a huge problem.
It's already quite remarkable that they were able to leave even a small portion of the Bai family's bloodline.
Therefore, the Bai family's old house has now become ownerless land.
Or it could be considered as directly becoming the common property of the brigade.
Only a few elderly people who had previously received favors from the Bai family remained, occasionally coming into the old house to clean it up.
The old house is now in a dilapidated state.
Of course, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. This mansion was originally a place with excellent feng shui, and its courtyards are still quite nice.
But perhaps those people went too far back then, and the old house is filled with resentment, so anyone who wanted to live there would encounter some inexplicable supernatural events.
Over time, everyone came to believe that the old house was unlucky. Rural people take these things very seriously and don't just rely on science.
There are many things in this world that science cannot explain.
Of course, given the current situation, no one dares to speak recklessly, but actions have already spoken volumes.
None of them wanted to live in that big house.
Moreover, some educated youth who were unwilling to live in the educated youth settlement moved to the Bai family's old house in order to save money.
In the end, within two days, they would be so frightened that they would run back to the educated youth settlement in a panic.
Now, this old house is basically only used to scam those newly arrived educated youth who don't know the situation.
However, Luo Zixi immediately revealed the story of the old house, which surprised even Secretary Liu.
"Luo Zhiqing, you brought up the old house right away, so I think you must know something about it, right?"
"The rent for the Bai family's old house is indeed cheap, but... if you don't want to live there anymore, we won't refund the rent to you."
"Minimum lease term: one year!"
Luo Zixi couldn't help but laugh when she heard what the other person said.
Who says rural people are naive? Who says rural people are honest and simple?
Luo Zixi smiled and said:
"Of course I know about the situation there. Someone familiar with the area told me about it before I came."
"But I am not afraid. I am the successor of my motherland. I do not question the heavens, nor do I fear ghosts or gods!"
"Moreover, I will sign a written agreement and bear all the consequences myself."
"To be honest, if I live alone in a very safe place, I don't have any deterrent effect."
“I live in the Bai family’s old house, and even thugs don’t dare to come in casually.”
Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Liu Dashan understood that this was Luo Zixi's plan.
How could a young girl have such courage?
Don't end up crying and begging him to come back later.
Anyway, he'll make it clear upfront that anyone can rent the house, but if they move out, the rent won't be refunded.
The annual rent isn't small, and it's not like no one has tried it before, and no one has ever complained about it.
However, those who wanted to take advantage of the situation had all written agreements and signed them beforehand.
Therefore, no matter where you go, the village always has the upper hand.
Moreover, before each rental, Secretary Liu would explain the situation and issues to the tenants in advance, with everything clearly written down.
There were witnesses present.
Moreover, he would warn these newly arrived educated youth not to stay in the house just because it was cheap.
But if someone really has the guts, they can give it a try.
Anyway, everyone signed contracts before moving in. So why did they leave? Do these educated youth dare to say they were scared by ghosts?
Then just wait to be arrested and thrown in jail!
So in the end, it was these educated youth who were greedy for cheap deals who suffered the most.
The principle of "don't be greedy for cheap things" applies here.
Where in this world is there a free lunch or easy money?
Moreover, the villagers weren't particularly heartless; they had already explained the situation to the educated youth living in the Bai family's old house.
They still think they can get an advantage, and they rush in headfirst. Who can they blame?
This is what they mean by "kind words can't persuade a suicidal ghost."
However, just because those people are afraid doesn't mean Luo Zixi will be afraid.
Luo Zixi wanted to see what this so-called ghost was all about.
She was reborn and transmigrated, so why would she be afraid of ghosts?
If such a thing really existed, she would have cleaved it in two with a single stroke!
She killed countless living people. With such a powerful killing intent in her past life, did she think that murderous aura was a joke?
In her past life, she strongly agreed with a famous saying by a certain bigwig:
Killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand makes one a king, but slaughtering ten million makes one the king of kings!
She's a ruthless killer who lives on the edge of a knife; even ghosts would avoid her!
Therefore, the old Bai family mansion was the place where she could truly benefit.
Moreover, this Bai family mansion plays a very important and magical role in the original story. Now that it's in my hands, it's like I've intercepted the female lead's luck ahead of time.
Therefore, she had to stay in this old house.
Even Jesus couldn't stop her, she said it!
However, at that moment, a sudden voice rang out.
Because her mouth was covered in mud, completely blackened, Zhang Qianwen revealed a filthy smile that looked rather eerie, truly like a ghost.
"Secretary, I'm willing to rent this old Bai family house. And I'm willing to pay more than Luo Zixi offered!"
