Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law said: "Just a few days ago, Lin Zhan's wife sent a few window paper-cuts over. She said that the patterns on these window paper-cuts are good. Our family didn't have many window paper-cuts this year, so she gave us some more."
"Say it's more festive."
"This is the only thing that's new to our family, and it's something we didn't have before."
Su Lixuan?
When Lu Qing heard Su Lixuan mentioned, his eyes lit up and he listened closer.
Aunt Wang: "Don't tell anyone about this. People are kind enough to send us gifts, but we can't send hatred."
Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law: "This is really the only new thing in our family!"
"I don't want to doubt Lin Zhan's wife, but how could it be such a coincidence? She brought the things over, and the moment we got close to her, the house was haunted?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and it was obvious that she was very scared by the ghost story.
As she spoke, she walked past her mother-in-law, tore off the window grilles, opened the window and threw them out in anger.
Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law said: "Mom, just trust me this time. Let's see if anything will happen to the house if we throw away this window paper-cut."
"If something else happens, I'll go and apologize to Lin Zhan's wife right away, but if nothing else happens, we'll have to settle the score with her!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged glances, and Aunt Wang pointed silently at the remaining window grille on the window.
She indicated to her daughter-in-law that she was too emotional while acting and threw one less.
I was afraid that Lu Qing would not notice this key thing, and if he picked up too little, he would not be able to discover the trick in the window paper-cut.
This was the first time that Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law tried acting, so it was inevitable that there were some shortcomings in their performance.
After her mother-in-law reminded her, Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and held her forehead. She thought about it and began to make amends by talking to herself...
"Oh, why is there a window decoration here? I forgot to throw it away!"
No matter how bluntly it was said.
She tore off the remaining window grilles and threw them out, then shouted at her mother-in-law who was standing in the middle of the room, "Mom, don't stop me!"
"Don't pull me!"
"I suspect there's something wrong with these window grilles. If they're still haunted after I tear them off, I'll even kneel down and apologize to her, Su Lixuan..."
She specifically emphasized Su Lixuan.
Sure enough, just after she shouted this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both saw a sneaky figure behind the window, bending over and moving under the window, thinking that no one in the house would notice it.
It was obvious that he had sneaked over to pick up window decorations.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law looked at each other. Their goal had been achieved, and they could be considered lucky enough to have done their job well.
…
The other side.
Lu Qing acted furtively with the window cutouts she had picked up. She had some common sense and knew that she couldn't just bring the window cutouts home so openly.
If Su Lixuan found out, and if the window paper-cuts were really problematic as Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law said.
Su Lixuan must have something to hide and would definitely steal the window paper-cut first.
Even if he didn't intercept her, it was very likely that he would deliberately pick a fight and tear the window paper-cut in her hand.
Lu Qing used her remaining brain to figure out the importance of the "key evidence" in her hand.
He simply turned his head, hid the window paper-cut in his arms, and ran out of the slum timidly.
The whispers that Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law had just said seemed to still echo in my ears.
Especially those things Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law had said with such confidence—that she suspected there was something wrong with the window paper-cuts and that Su Lixuan was going to harm them...
Lu Qing felt his blood boiling just thinking about it!
Finally she caught me!
Hadn't Su Lixuan stood in front of her righteously before, as if she was a rat in the gutter and she, Su Lixuan, was a clean and honest person who had never done anything wrong in her life?
Oh.
Guilty deeds...isn't this coming?
Hiding in the alley, Lu Qing sneered and took out the window paper-cuts to study them over and over again.
This thing...what's wrong with it?
She looked carefully but didn't find anything wrong.
But you have to say, this window paper-cut looks more exquisite than those sold outside. Not only is it exquisite, but it also looks a little... familiar.
She stared at it for a long time but couldn't remember where she had seen it, so she decided not to think about it anymore.
In the cold wind, she was only focused on studying the strangeness of the window paper-cuts.
The more I look... the less I can tell.
She even suspected that Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law had guessed wrong. Could it be that the haunting in their house had nothing to do with the window paper-cut sent by Su Lixuan?
But how could it be such a coincidence? Something happened right after the delivery?
There must be a ghost!
wrong!
When she thought that 'there must be a ghost', Lu Qing felt inexplicably cold all over. She shivered and didn't know if it was because of fear or because her hands were frozen. She subconsciously changed her position.
It moved from the shadows of the alley into plain sight.
Maybe it was a psychological factor, but after moving, I felt a lot warmer.
"Tsk, could it be that there really is a ghost inside the window grille that can't be seen from the outside?"
"No, there are no ghosts in the world... Even if there are ghosts, they can't be driven around by Su Lixuan..."
With shaking hands, she raised the window grille above her face in annoyance. The sunlight shone through the window grille, casting mottled shadows on her fair and large face.
Not far away, a bunch of naughty kids who appeared from nowhere pointed at her and yelled—
“Ghost!”
"The old Lu family's slut is possessed by a ghost!"
"Ahhh... run! That old bitch from the Lu family is going to eat the kids!"
Lu Qing: “……?”
She gritted her teeth and cursed, but she also... realized that something was wrong.
How did she become a ghost?
The paper-cut in her hand suddenly became heavier. With shaking hands, she brought it in front of her, and imitated the way she did just now, slowly raising it to a higher place.
It was the same height as before, but this time it wasn't facing her face...
Suddenly!
Her pupils shrank suddenly.
She saw a hideous face reflected on the wall opposite her!
He lowered his hand and the grimace disappeared.
He raised his hand and the ghost face reappeared.
Lu Qing: "...Oh my goodness, so this is where the problem lies!"
…
Looking at Lu Qing who was sitting in front of him with a smug look on his face.
Su Lixuan resisted the urge to laugh, cleared her throat and asked her what the distinguished guest wanted.
Lu Qing raised her chin and proudly took out the wrinkled window paper-cut that she had ruined from her pocket.
With a bang, it landed on the table in front of Su Lixuan.
Su Lixuan raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Lu Qing: "This window paper-cut is yours, right?"
Before Su Lixuan could answer, Li Yanhong heard the noise and came over. She picked up the window paper and looked at it carefully. She asked in surprise, "Huh?"
"Isn't this the window decoration your second sister-in-law asked your niece to send over? What are you taking it for?"
"We have some at home, and there's still a lot left."
"What's the matter? Is your house not sticky enough? If not, I'll bring some back for you."
Lu Qing originally came here to bring punishment upon himself.
It would be even better if she could "capture" Su Lixuan on the spot, so that she could threaten Su Lixuan and extort some benefits.
If Su Lixuan doesn't give her benefits, she will expose Su Lixuan's "dirty tricks" and will never let Su Lixuan off.
