At the beginning of the quadrangle, I, He Daqing, approached Yi Zhonghai to collect debts

Xu Damao finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had left. At this moment, he remembered that he had peed his pants, and hurriedly turned on the light to change the cotton pants and mattress.

"Daughter-in-law, I've been afraid of ghosts since I was a child, so you can't blame me for this..."

When he saw Qin Jingru's look of disgust, he was also a little embarrassed, so he quickly explained.

Qin Jingru didn't say a word, just changing clothes silently.

However, she felt a bit shaken in her heart, wondering if it was right for her to marry Xu Damao.

Director Wang took Xiao Zhou back to the deaf old lady's house, and quickly turned on the light.

The two of them were relieved when they saw that the light that had been turned off suddenly turned on again.

"Director, let's sleep with the lights on."

In fact, even if Xiao Zhou didn't say this, Director Wang wouldn't turn off the lights.

She was still a staunch atheist before, but this time, her life was almost lost, so her belief was shaken.

"Okay, anyway, it's late at night, and it will be dawn when it's done. When it's dawn, I'll deal with this matter. I'll give you two days off and have a good rest."

Xiao Zhou really followed him through life and death this time, so Director Wang will slowly make up for it in the future.

"Thank you, Director."

After listening to Director Wang's arrangement, Xiao Zhou was also very satisfied. It seemed that he would be Director Wang's confidant in the future.

The two cleaned up the house again, heated up the fire, then snuggled together, and fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Director Wang was dazed when he heard the chaotic voices outside and knocking on the door. He was startled suddenly, woke up from the nightmare, sat up suddenly, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Who am I? Where am I? What's going on outside?"

"Director, there seems to be someone knocking on the door outside."

Xiao Zhou rubbed his sleepy eyes and began to put on his coat.

Hearing what Xiao Zhou said, Director Wang regained his composure, put on his padded jacket, got up and opened the door.

"Director Wang, Xiao Zhou, you are not dead!"

The second aunt stood at the door with a half-smile, watching the two with deliberately surprised expressions.

The old man came back at midnight last night and told her about the deaf old lady.

When she learned that the old man had been working in vain for several days, and the matter of the house was in vain, she naturally hated her, so she came here early in the morning to add trouble to Director Wang.

Director Wang immediately showed displeasure when he heard the words, and looked at the second aunt in front of him with some dissatisfaction and said:

"What do you call that? What do you mean we are not dead yet?"

"Look at my mouth, I mean, are you still alive?"

Seeing this, the second aunt immediately showed an embarrassed expression on her face, but there was still a glint of complacency in her eyes.

"You damn old woman, shut up if you can't speak, Director Wang, don't be as knowledgeable as her, we only care about your safety, what are you doing here? Hurry up."

The second uncle on the side saw that Director Wang was going to lose his temper, and felt that revenge was almost done, so he hurried forward to act as a peacemaker, and while talking, he winked at his wife and told her to go back quickly.

The second aunt didn't refute when she saw this, she turned around and left, leaving Director Wang with nothing to vent her anger on.

"Hmph! Get out of the way, I want to tell everyone what happened last night!"

Director Wang saw that the courtyard was crowded with neighbors watching the excitement and inquiring about the news, so he stood on the steps, cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, neighbors and comrades, Xiao Zhou and I have lived in the deaf old lady's room for the first seven days, and nothing happened. Therefore, the rumors about the haunted house in the courtyard are Jia Zhang's pretending to be a ghost. , wanting to scare others into stealing the property of the deaf old lady! Let me tell you the good news, Mrs. Jia Zhang has been arrested, and what awaits her is the punishment of the law!"

After listening to Director Wang's words, there was a lot of discussion below.

"Jia Zhang was arrested? I said why is she not here for such a big event in the courtyard."

"Jia Zhang's? Maybe, I heard that the incident about the haunted house in the courtyard seems to have come from her mouth!"

"If you say that, Jia Zhang wants to scare people away so that he can apply for a house!"

"This Jia Zhang really deserves what he deserves!"

Hearing the discussion below, Director Wang finally showed a smile on his face. It seemed that he had handled this matter pretty well according to the popular opinion.

But at this time Xu Damao suddenly stood up.

"Director Wang, why did someone scream in fright in the courtyard last night? Also, I seem to have heard the voice of a deaf old lady."

Qin Jingru has been unwilling to talk to him since last night, which made him feel that he wanted to show off and show his manly courage.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he looked at Qin Jingru proudly, meaning that I am not very brave, right?
Qin Jingru is a little speechless, is he courageous?Isn't this stupid?

Sure enough, Director Wang's complexion changed suddenly when he heard the words, this Xu Damao is really a thorn in the side, did what happened last night hinder him by a dime?What are you doing here?

But before she could refute, some people began to echo her.

"I seem to have heard the voice of the deaf old lady. At that time, I thought I heard it wrong."

"I heard it too"

Seeing that the development of the matter was going beyond control, Director Wang became a little anxious, glared at Xu Damao viciously and said:
"Xu Damao, you are talking nonsense! If you dare to confuse people with false words, be careful and I will arrest you!"

Seeing that Director Wang was really angry, Xu Damao regretted it a little. It's okay to be smart at ordinary times, but if he is really caught, it will not be worth the loss.

"Director Wang, calm down. I was talking nonsense just now. I didn't see or hear anything last night. Don't be as knowledgeable as I am."

Seeing that Xu Damao had softened, Director Wang was relieved, snorted coldly, and continued:

"Everyone has heard it. Xu Damao is talking nonsense. Don't believe him. Now, if anyone wants to apply for these houses in the courtyard, he can submit the application form."

Now Director Wang wants to divide these houses out quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Seeing that Director Wang and Xiao Zhou were fine, several people had already taken out their housing application forms and were going to hand them in after the meeting.

But hearing what Xu Damao and others said, he immediately backed down.

All the neighbors who live in this area made such a big noise in the courtyard last night, in fact, almost everyone heard it, but they just didn't want to believe it.

Xu Damao lived in the backyard, and he said that the deaf old lady had returned, so how could anyone dare to live in it again?

Moreover, if the application was divided into a haunted house this time, if there was a house in the future, even the quota would be lost, so several people hurriedly stuffed the housing application form into their pockets, pretending that nothing happened.

Director Wang, who was standing on the steps, could see clearly that no one would dare to apply for this house, so he hated Xu Damao for ruining his good deed.

"Xu Damao! I'm not finished with you! Xiao Zhou, go to the police station to call the police, and say that Xu Damao gathered people to spread feudal superstition and caused bad influence!"

Xu Damao, who was a little proud just now, was so scared that he sat on the ground when he heard that Director Wang had put such a big hat on him.
