After receiving the divorce papers and the letter of severance of engagement, He Aiqing left without looking back.
When Old Mrs. He thought about the heavy bleeding she had experienced today, she felt very depressed. She glared at Su Qing and left.
Seeing their mother-in-law leave, several daughters-in-law of the He family hurriedly followed.
Soon only the children of Old He's family were left chasing each other in the crowd.
"Village Chief, I want to buy one of the vacant houses in the village. I need my own home to feel at ease."
The crowd who were about to disperse retracted their feet when they heard that Su Qing wanted to buy a house.
They all lay on the wall, listening with their ears perked up.
The village chief hesitated.
When he thought about the situation of Su Qing's parents' family, he nodded in agreement.
Although Su Qing's parents' home is also in Yuanshan Town, Shitou Village and Shuixiang Village are at the two ends.
Not only is it tens of thousands of miles away, but Stone Village is also far and remote.
To put it nicely, Shitou Village is a village, but in reality it is just a dozen or so mountain households.
Moreover, everyone lives far away from each other, and calling the children home for dinner requires yelling.
Not only the village chief, but Su Qing herself also considered returning to her mother's home to settle down first.
But this thought was extinguished after only ten seconds.
She couldn't take her four children across such a long distance to live with her mother's family.
"Accountant Liao, take a look at the vacant houses in the village and find out where they are. Let's help her find some advice."
Accountant Liao flipped open the notebook he carried with him. "There's one where Su Qing lives now, there's another at the river mouth, there's one next to the big banyan tree, and there's another one next to the Social Worker Temple, um..."
"Gone? I remember registering five houses that belonged to the village."
"Village chief, there is another one, which is the house at the end of the village."
"I think the one at the river crossing is pretty good."
"The one under the big banyan tree is better. It's lively and they won't be scared living there."
Several village cadres were talking to each other.
"Village chief, I'll buy the house at the end of the village." Su Qing's words suddenly made the crowd explode, and a group of women started chattering about it.
"Oh my god, she dares to live in that place."
“I’m scared to even walk by.”
"No, it's scary at night."
"Let me tell you, I took a shortcut through there last time, and I had goosebumps from beginning to end."
"No, I still had to take off my pants before I dared to cross."
"The smell of your pants will definitely work on those things."
"Fuck you, yours is better."
The village chief looked at Su Qing suspiciously. Although the incident had passed when she got married, she had lived in this village for so long that she should have heard some rumors.
"You know about that house, right?"
Su Qing nodded, "I know."
Isn’t it just that the owner of the house was killed in there when the landlords were being beaten a few years ago? What’s there to be afraid of?
Isn't it said that every school is built on a mass grave? She has been living in the school dormitory since junior high school.
Moreover, when she was in her sophomore year, an ancient tomb was unearthed next to the dormitory.
To be precise, she was living with the tomb owner.
Besides, just as there are good people and bad people, there are also good ghosts and bad ghosts. Is there anything more terrifying than human nature and poverty?
The village chief still felt it necessary to find out clearly, as it would be difficult for him to take responsibility if something went wrong.
"Everyone is quite taboo about these things. I think you are women and children living in here, so you'd better think about it again."
"No need, Village Chief, just this. Sometimes human hearts are scarier than ghosts." After saying that, Su Qing looked at the onlookers.
A few people who felt guilty retreated repeatedly, trying to hide themselves.
The village chief was confused after seeing this.
Some of the scoundrels in the village saw that Su Qing had taken such a large sum of money, and they probably set their sights on him.
Especially now that Su Qing and her mother and daughter are living there, that is wealth that is easily accessible.
"Accountant Liao, please take a look at the appropriate selling price for this house." Accountant Liao flipped through his little notebook and found the page that listed the vacant houses in the village.
Accountant Liao looked at Su Qing and said, "That house is very big. Although it has a bad reputation, it will cost 85 yuan to buy it. Why don't you consider something else?
Look at this, where you live now, it's only thirty-five. Or this one is also good, forty-eight."
Accountant Liao pointed to several places he had written down in his notebook.
Su Qing knew the points pointed out by Accountant Liao, but he was not very satisfied with them.
As for where she lives now, it is so close to Old He's house, and she doesn't want to see these disgusting people again.
At the river mouth, there was only one room, a kitchen, and a dry toilet. If you put some firewood in the yard and hang clothes, there would be no room to step.
The big banyan tree is the gossip center of the village. Those old women like to gather there when they have nothing to do. If they want to eat something delicious, they have to hide it like a thief. No, no.
The one next to the Social Workers' Temple is not good either. It's surrounded by fields, and at noon, a bunch of workers often rest there. There are also cow sheds and pig farms next to it, and it smells bad in the summer.
And because there are two empty rooms in the social worker temple, where people traveling frequently rest, she is a little worried about the safety of her children.
After comparing them, this house at the end of the village is the best.
She had passed by this house before when she went up the mountain to cut grass for pigs. The house was very big, and the most important thing was that the wall was very high, probably one and a half times as high as Su Qing.
Later, she heard from someone that it was haunted, and she never passed by there again.
