The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 239 Ghosts
In the next room separated by a wall, Pei Zhan stared at the candlelight in a daze for a long time.

He got up in a bad mood, thinking that Tao Zhen had a bad temper and would be at odds with him for a few more days, but he didn't expect that Tao Zhen would greet him as if nothing had happened and asked him to have breakfast, which made Pei Zhan think that he had lost his memory yesterday. It was a dream.

After breakfast, Tao Zhen left with Mrs. Pei and Pei Heng.

Pei Zhan was the only one left in the house, and he was still holding Tao Zhen's steamed buns, which were slightly yellowed due to too much alkali.

Pei Zhan took a bite of the steamed bun, which was slightly bitter.

why?
Why can Tao Zhen pretend that nothing happened?
Pei Zhan got up and went out, deciding to settle the score with Li Hui and vent his anger.

But when he arrived at the quarry in a rage, he was informed that Li Hui had gone into the city to buy vegetables with the bullock cart.

Pei Zhan has completely forgotten about this!

As soon as Tao Zhen and Mrs. Pei left the village, they met Li Hui driving out, and Mrs. Liu was also in the car.

After getting in the car, Tao Zhen asked: "Brother Li, why is it you today?"

Li Hui took the lead, and since Mr. Liu no longer worked in the quarry, he rarely went out to buy vegetables.

Li Hui chuckled: "I haven't been to the city for a long time, so I wanted to go and have a look."

"Is that so..."

Tao Zhen protracted his tone, thinking, you must be afraid of being beaten to death by Pei Zhan.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Pei talked about Pei Heng. Pei Heng was seven years old. He was pretty, cute, and smart, but he couldn't speak. Mrs. Liu felt it was a pity. She touched Pei Heng's head. Said: "Didn't this child find another doctor?"

Mrs. Pei sighed: "Azhan is the doctor. He has a mental illness and there is nothing wrong with his body. He just doesn't want to speak. Maybe one day he will talk about it himself."

But it is still unknown when this day will come. Pei Heng may be like this for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Liu asked about Pei Heng's studies again.

"I heard from Ah Zhen that Xiao Heng is very good at painting. Does your husband like him very much?"

Mrs. Pei was a little helpless: "I really don't understand this."

Tao Zhen smiled and said, "I don't understand either."

Neither of them was embarrassed to say that in fact, they thought Pei Heng's painting was just a ghost painting, but if they had to praise it, there might be a little bit of freedom and ease in the seemingly crazy painting style.

Pei Zhan was very disrespectful. He always felt that Mr. Zhong was an old liar. At Pei Heng's level, the children in the village could pee in such a precise shape.

After he said this, he was scolded severely by Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei said that he had never had a formal appearance before, but now that he came to the exile village, he simply let himself go.

While Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Liu were chatting, Li Hui asked Tao Zhen in a low voice: "How is Pei Zhan?"

Tao Zhen knew that he was guilty, so she said maliciously: "What's going on?"

Li Hui: "It's just...there was nothing wrong with him going back last night, right?"

Tao Zhen looked puzzled: "What's strange? I didn't see him yesterday. He came back very late, but he left very early in the morning. He looked like he hadn't slept well. He was so angry that he seemed to be fighting someone desperately. He was scared. I didn’t even dare to talk to him.”

Li Hui tightened his grip on the reins and remained silent.

Tao Zhen looked at it and wanted to laugh: "Brother Li, why do you ask that?"

Li Hui came back to his senses: "Ah... no... nothing."

"Did something happen to him in the quarry?" Tao Zhen continued to ask.

Li Hui: "I don't know about that..."

Tao Zhen suppressed his laughter and was in a very good mood along the way.

When they arrived in Ningzhou, everyone went their separate ways. Tao Zhen and Mrs. Liu went to see the strawberries first. Except for a few that did not grow, most of them grew very well. If this situation continues, they will bear fruit in a few months. , it just so happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, so Tao Zhen could launch a Mid-Autumn Festival gift box.

She patrolled her territory like a king, and went to Wang San's place. Wang San was not there, but there were only two puppies. The puppies grew up quickly. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and the two little guys had grown a lot taller. .

Tao Zhen was about to feed the dog when he suddenly heard a noise coming from next door.

Her scalp suddenly tightened, and she almost forgot that she was now next to a haunted house.

Tao Zhen looked nervously at the yard next door, and then heard a woman crying... It was broad daylight, and Tao Zhen's hair stood on end.

The two puppies started barking when they heard the noise.

Just when Tao Zhen was thinking about opening the door and escaping, the door was knocked.

Tao Zhen stared at the door and didn't move for a long time.

She could walk through walls back then, so those who couldn't were probably not ghosts, right?
But Tao Zhen wasn't sure. Maybe this ghost was not of the same species as her. What if it needed someone to invite someone to open the door before it could come in?

The surroundings were quiet, except for sudden knocks on the door, each knock hitting Tao Zhen's heart, causing her limbs and bones to tingle.

Tao Zhen stared at the door, imagining all kinds of ghosts that might appear at the door. She was relieved when there was no movement outside the door.

...

"Sir, there is no one." A man who looked like a young boy said to the people in the carriage.

"Since there are dogs barking, there must be someone there. There are also traces of sweeping at the door. Go and find out who lives here?"

In the carriage, the young man in white covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice. It was summer, and he had already put on autumn clothes. His face was pale and his figure was thin. He was sitting against the wall of the carriage, looking mentally exhausted.

"I'll go back and find out. Madam has already gone back. How about we go back first," the young man said worriedly.

The boy in white nodded.

After the carriage left the alley, Tao Zhen opened the door, stuck his head out and looked around, and sure enough, no one was there.

Is someone gone, or is there a ghost?
Tao Zhen felt goosebumps all over her body. She locked the door and ran away.

She was relieved when she arrived at the courtyard. Lin Shu and Wang San were loading goods. They were very surprised to see her like this.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang San asked.

In fact, what he wanted to say was that Tao Zhen seemed to have been chased away by a ghost.

Tao Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and was too embarrassed to say why. He just asked Wang San: "Did you hear any strange noises while you were in the haunted house?"

Wang San was puzzled: "What is the sound? There is not even a ghost in that place, how can there be any sound?"

Looking at Tao Zhen's pale face, Lin Shu kicked Wang San and asked with a smile: "Sister Tao Zi, has something happened to you?"

Tao Zhen lowered his voice and said, "I'm telling you, there really is a ghost in that haunted house."

Wang San "..."

Lin Shu "..."

The two looked at each other, both a little funny, but Tao Zhen was the shopkeeper after all, and as their clerks, the two of them were embarrassed to laugh openly and worried that Tao Zhen would get angry and deduct their wages.

So Lin Shu asked: "How did you know there was a ghost? Did you see it?"

Tao Zhen nodded, with lingering fear: "I heard a woman crying next door, and then Xiao Hei and the puppy barked, and then someone knocked on the door."

Lin Shu and Wang San looked at each other. They were two grown men who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so they obviously didn't care too much.

"Maybe someone really came and knocked on the door."

Tao Zhen looked at them and frowned: "If you don't believe me, I'm telling you, you are still young. Don't believe this. There are really ghosts in this world."

Wang San and Lin Shu nodded and said without conscience, "We believe you, but we can't be sure since we haven't seen it with our own eyes."

Tao Zhen said: "Ghosts are invisible."

She paused and said, "If that doesn't work, let's move. It's really scary. Wang San lives alone. If something happens, it's no joke."

Seeing that she was serious about what Wang San wanted to say, Lin Shu kicked him again, but Wang San frowned and said nothing.

Lin Shu changed the subject and said, "By the way, Second Brother Jiang might ask you to meet, why don't you go and have a look?"

As expected, Tao Zhen's attention was diverted and he said, "You're right, there should be news from him soon. I'll check it out."
