Chapter 305

....
305 Your first aunt, she
“Aiyo, aunt Xiao, don’t look down on me just because I’m a village woman. I heard that after Master Zhou’s daughter died, his high-ranking son-in-law remarried. I don’t know how Master Zhou’s grandchildren have been raised. He had never heard of them coming to visit old master Zhou! Old Zhou was such a pitiful old man! Last year, it was ah Yuan who had accompanied him for thirty nights! That’s why, Yuan, listen to me, please old master Zhou, and maybe the entire Zhou clan town will be yours in the future!” Zhang Shi said.
Grandma Xiao,”Yingluo.”
Who said that my granddaughter didn’t come to see me and that old bastard?
“Aunt Zhang, I’m only farming for my granduncle,” Lu Zheng replied.
Zhang Shi continued to persuade him,”young man, don’t say that about yourself.” Juan Zi has high hopes for you. You definitely have the ability to obtain the Zhou clan town. I’ll help you pray so that old Zhou’s grandchildren will forget about him. Then you can take the opportunity to please old Zhou. Work hard!”
Lu Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know how to answer.
The three transmigrators and the Gu family’s old couple, who knew the truth, looked at Zhang Shi speechlessly.
“Wife, don’t misguide other people’s children!” Uncle Gu was gnawing on a piece of pork rib when his mouth was finally free. He said righteously, ” ah Yuan, don’t listen to my son’s mother. Listen to me. You can treat old master Zhou well. After all, he is a very pitiful old man. However, don’t covet his family property.”
“Why?” Zhang Shi tilted her head and asked.
Lu Zheng also looked at uncle Gu curiously.
“Because it’s not Zhou Yuan’s!” Uncle Gu replied. The family business that old master Zhou had earned should belong to miss Zhou. Miss Zhou had died young, so it should belong to miss Zhou’s son and daughter. For example, if father gives me ten mu of land in the future, you and I will be dead, Huihui and sisi will be married, Enzi and ninren will not be with father and mother, and father and mother’s distant nephews will come to our village to get these ten mu of land? Wife, what are you doing? Do you feel at ease being a ghost?”
Zhang Shi immediately said,”why?!” Why should we give our things to others? If anyone dares to steal my child’s things, I won’t let them off even if I become a ghost!”
Uncle Gu,”then isn’t it settled?” You let a little fellow like ah Yuan Rob the things of miss Zhou’s children. Even if miss Zhou becomes a ghost, she won’t let ah Yuan off! Such a handsome young man, who knew what he would look like if he was haunted by a ghost! I don’t want our village to lose a pretty boy!”
Everyone,”hehe.”
How could this be a reason?
Grandma Xiao and Lu Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was also the first time that grandma Xiao didn’t feel so depressed when she heard someone talk about her daughter who had died young.
“Uncle, are there really ghosts?” Gu Xin asked fearfully. Gu Si was obviously scared too.
“Of course!” Uncle Gu looked at the two girls sitting together with a serious expression and said sternly, ” this ghost actually depends on the person. In a family like ours, where most of the people are good-looking, as long as you don’t provoke those ghosts, they won’t appear. So, Xinxin, sisi, you two have to work hard to look good and don’t provoke ghosts. Then, the ghosts naturally won’t appear.”
“En!” The two girls nodded firmly.
“Then uncle, are you saying that people who are not good looking are easily haunted by ghosts?” Gu nianxiao asked.
“Of course!” Uncle Gu glanced at Zhang Shi as he spoke. Under Zhang Shi’s baffled gaze, he said, ” your aunt doesn’t dare to go to the outhouse at night. She has shouted at least seven times,’ah, there’s a ghost!’ This kind of thing has never happened to anyone with the surname Gu.”
