Back home, the house has changed drastically. The originally spacious yard has been filled with all kinds of sand, stone and bricks, leaving only a passage in the middle that can accommodate people.

The young men were all sweating from exhaustion and were sitting and resting. When they saw Ling Yun coming back, they all put on smiles and said, "Sister-in-law, you are back. We didn't ask anyone to deliver the things. We just brought them back today. We can start early tomorrow morning." Let’s get to work!”

"Are you tired? The food is ready. I'll bring it to you."

Huzi patted his belly cheekily and smiled with satisfaction, "I'm not hungry. I ate a lot at lunch today. I haven't digested much yet. My stomach is full of oil and water now!"

The other two teenagers also looked satisfied and were still savoring the deliciousness of the beef at noon!

Zhang Chunliang asked carelessly, "Sister-in-law, what should we have for dinner?"

"There's no beef at home, so I'll bake a few pancakes and you guys can have a meal together."

Hu Zi gave Zhang Chunliang a slap on the back of the head, "You are just thinking about eating. Do you want to make my sister Ling Yun poor?"

Instead of calling her sister-in-law, she called her sister Ling Yun, who felt a lot closer to her. Ling Yun just smiled and said, "If you don't have enough to eat, if you don't have enough to eat, I'll make delicious food for you later."

Su Youting then asked Ling Yun, "What did you do just now? Are you back now?"

"I went to confirm the matter of the family treasure. The mountain god has been officially enshrined. The little thing is very happy."

The matter was completed, Su Youting and Ling Yun were both very happy, and the matter was half done.

During dinner, it was a simple home-cooked meal, and the three young men still ate deliciously. There was no trace of the pancake left in the baskets, even in the pot.

After the meal, Ling Yun went to the kitchen to clear away the dishes, and the three boys gathered around her like followers, telling her interesting things they had heard in the city.

Huzi remembered a story he had heard and told it to Ling Yun vividly, "Sister, let me tell you, there is a house in the city that is going viral. It is said to be haunted. I don't know how many buyers have been scared away. Now No one dares to take over even if it is sold at a low price.”

Hearing the word "haunted", Ling Yun really became interested. He took some fresh fruits he brought back last time, washed them, took them to the yard, and chatted while eating.

Su Youting was called away by Su Chen to talk about the land for building a temple. They were the only ones in the yard.

Ling Yun took a bite of the apple, and the sweet and sour fruity juice burst out in his mouth. He narrowed his eyes in pleasure, "Tell me specifically why that house is haunted?"

Each of the three teenagers spoke out everything they heard about the house, "Sister Ling Yun, I heard that the last buyer was moving the whole family to the street in disheveled clothes while they were sleeping at night, and was moved to the street the next day. I didn’t know until I woke up, but I didn’t dare to go in to collect my things, so I just hired a car and ran away.”

"Moreover, the aunt I asked said that there is always movement in the house at night when no one is around. It is like this every day, and it sounds very lively inside."

The last one added, "Sister Ling Yun, it is said that the door in that house will open and close by itself, and anyone who enters will see a ghost threatening his life. Do you think this is true or not?"

Ling Yun held his chin and thought for a while, then asked, "Then did you hear that someone died unexpectedly inside?"

The three teenagers shook their heads together, their movements synchronized, making Ling Yun laugh.

"If not, then the rumors of hauntings are not credible. You must know that most ghost stories are probably man-made, that is, they are pretending to be gods and ghosts. You must have your own opinions and not follow others' opinions."

"Oh, we got it." The three children who were taught were more obedient than the new students in the private school.

"Do you know what the price is?"

Ling Yun said this suddenly, which made the three teenagers a little unable to keep up with her brain circuit. After thinking for a while, Hu Zi finally answered, "After hearing it, I heard that it was originally worth eight or nine hundred taels." We only need one hundred taels to enter the house and take care of the garden. It’s just a formality, just to get rid of it as soon as possible.”

Before the yard construction started, Ling Yun started thinking about other ways to make money.

People often say that in troubled times, gold belongs to a prosperous house.

The speculation of land and real estate is the most profitable business in any era. Just look at the big groups and families in later generations, which one will not sharpen their heads to get into this business.

What's more, what's in front of us now is a haunted house with such a low price.

This kind of house may be a hot potato in the hands of others, tasteless and a pity to abandon.

But he is a mysterious master and has skills. This kind of house is a real asset. Once it is cleaned up, it will basically be a profitable business.

This is a way that can not only make money, but also eliminate evil spirits and protect the Tao. It can also be regarded as a great merit.

But now even if I put all the silver in my hand and the fifty taels of silver notes in my mother's hand together, it's still not enough for the one hundred taels.

I can only think about this now, but it is impossible to actually do it.

After sending away the three teenagers, Ling Yun himself went back to his room early and lay down, thinking about all sorts of things.

She didn't notice that for the first time after she crossed over, she didn't think about how to go back, but how to live a better life here.

Not long after, I heard Su Youting's movements from the kitchen next door. Yes, Su Youting had been sleeping in the kitchen these days, almost like semi-open air.

Ling Yun felt a little apologetic in his heart. Although he was already married to the Su family, he kept asking her to sleep in the kitchen. The weather was still very cold at night.

However, this situation will be greatly improved once the yard is repaired and the kitchen is rebuilt.

Silently facing the wall, he said, "I'm sorry, just hold on for two more days, and you'll have your own house soon!"

She thought very carefully and replaced all the old tiles in her mother-in-law's main house that were in disrepair and rebuilt the fire pit in the house. In winter, the old man would be much warmer.

Their small house was expanded directly, and the current small room was changed into a layout of two bedrooms and one living room. Both rooms were built with a fire pit, so that she and Su Youting would have a relatively private personal space.

The kitchen is still built next door, and it is also made into a relatively tight side room. There is also a small compartment for storing food and firewood.

This makes it easier to go outside to get firewood when the weather is bad.

The biggest thing that modern people like her can't adapt to is the simplicity of the bathroom. This time she gritted her teeth. Even if she didn't have a place to sleep, she still had to create a clean toilet environment and a place where she could take a shower.

She hasn't been able to take a good bath in the past few days since she came here.

The landslide and ground cracking still couldn't stop him. When the sun rose the next morning, Ling Yun hadn't gotten up yet, but he was awakened by the lively voices in the yard.

I immediately went to the ground to tidy myself up, opened the door and came out. The courtyard was already full of people.

The Lin family's father and son, Zhang Chunliang's family of three, Wu Liang's two brothers, Uncle Wu, the aunt from the grocery store, the uncle from the chicken and duck store, and Uncle Li Zheng were all crowded in the yard.

The village is so enthusiastic in doing things, and anyone who is free and has some friendship will come uninvited.

Each of them brought their own tools with them. They were not too thoughtful and were so warm and considerate that it was touching.
