Ding! The growth record of the rich girl

This house is located at the easternmost part of the village. It is located on a high ground and occupies a large area.

To the east of the house is a mountain, which has now been developed into a mountain orchard.

It is very beautiful with layers of hills.

Chi Qing had an impression of this house. In Chi Qing's impression, it was the most mysterious house in the village.

I heard from the villagers that an old lady with bound feet used to live in the house.

I have a pure black cat.

When Chi Qing was a child in the village, his friends would always tell him to run faster when they occasionally went up the mountain.

It was said that the old lady who used to live in the house was a witch and that she kept the black cat to prolong her life.

In short, the legend is very mysterious.

Chi Qing couldn't remember what the old lady looked like.

Because she seldom goes out, she only occasionally comes out with her black cat and sits at the door to bask in the sun.

Chi Qing actually didn't know whether he had seen this old lady before, he just remembered an image of her.

She had a head full of silver hair, tied up in a bun with a hairpin inserted in it, wore an embroidered jacket, and had bound feet.

Sitting at the gate of the yard in a daze.

Later, Chi Qing's family moved to Yunyang City, and Chi Qing never saw the old lady again.

This time, Chi Qing requested that the house should have as much traditional Chinese features as possible, but at the same time, it should not be too shabby. After all, they are foreign friends, and we cannot embarrass us Chinese.

After much deliberation, the village chose this house.

"This house belonged to a former landlord in our village."

"It's one of the more distinctive houses here."

"The house is divided into three parts, this is the first part..."

As the tour guide spoke, he pushed open the heavy door that looked quite old.

"Excuse me, what is a landlord..."

"What is Jin?"

Wang Yiyi and his friends listened with great interest and asked questions through the translator from time to time.

This was also the first time Chi Qing entered this house.

She was now also stunned by this house, which was not very big.

"Uncle Wang, why is this house so well preserved?"

"Didn't he...?"

Chi Qing asked as he looked at the house in front of him which had not been damaged much except for some historical traces.

“I don’t know the details.”

“Maybe there was some connection back then.”

Wang Xiangming scratched his head. He was still young at that time, so he didn’t know anything.

This house has always been quite mysterious in the village, one reason being that its location is quite unique.

It has a somewhat isolated flavor.

Another thing is the rumors in the village, saying that the old lady in the house has evil powers and keeps a black cat to prolong her life.

As a result, no one dared to come here.

In fact, he had met this old lady when he was young. She was a very kind person.

But he was really old, probably about 100 years old at that time.

When I have nothing to do, I sit at the gate of the yard and bask in the sun with my cat.

There is actually an old lady living with her who is much younger than her.

Both of them are normal, they just don't go out much.

The old lady at the back was too old, so she was taken away by a nephew. The other younger old lady also went back to her relatives' home.

Not long after, the old lady's nephew came back and found out that the old lady had died outside.

The nephew came back to handle the funeral and also inherited the house.

But the house has been empty and no one lives in it.

Only occasionally, every few years, someone would come back to do some simple repairs and maintenance on the house, and would also give some money to the village to ask for help in taking care of it.

It was because the village became popular for tourism that Wang Xiangming contacted the old lady's descendants and asked the village to rent the house.

“This house is really nice.”

“I actually only really came in recently.”

“It’s an eye-opener.”

Wang Xiangming said as he touched the screen wall that looked like it was carved out of jade as he entered the courtyard.

Chi Qing didn't expect that there was such a nice house in the village.

Before, she always thought that among the old houses, the ancestral house of the Yue family inherited by her uncle's family was good enough.

But I didn't expect it to be comparable to this.

In particular, the house was barely damaged.

Although some of the wood was slightly damaged due to corrosion over the years, it has been recently renovated without damaging its original appearance.

"This old lady has been guarding this house for almost her entire life."

Li Hua touched the carvings on the corridor and said with a sigh.

"It is said that her father-in-law is the largest landowner in the village."

"She was a child bride raised by the landlord to bring good luck to the landlord's son."

Aunt Li Hua felt a little sad when she said this.

“Isn’t this a scene from TV?”

“Why does it feel so unreal??”

Chi Qing and Wu Xianghui both felt like they were listening to a novel.

"Why is it not real?"

"Don't you think that our country has only been established for a few decades?"

"Qingqing, your grandfather was born before the founding of the People's Republic of China."

“These things are not far away.”

Wang Xiangming said from the side.

Well, it does make sense when you think about it this way.

"What happened next?" Wu Xianghui couldn't help but ask.

"Later, all the family members were gone. It seems that she lived here with another elderly person."

"But fortunately, in those days, I don't know if their family had any background, but other than their belongings being confiscated, the house and the people were fine."

After that, she added mysteriously, "Come to think of it, this old lady has quite a connection with your family?"

"Ah?" Chi Qing was confused. How could he say that?

"I heard that this old lady's surname was Chi. She must be a great aunt from one of your branches. Her family was too poor, so she was sold to a landlord."

Aunt Li Hua sorted out her thoughts and said.

"And didn't this old lady fail to bring happiness to the bride?"

"After her man left, she lived with her in-laws."

"For a while, there was a rumor in the village that she was going to remarry."

"The person she's going to marry is your grandfather's capable third uncle."

"But I don't know why it didn't work out. Maybe my in-laws didn't agree."

After Aunt Li Hua finished this conversation, Chi Qing felt even more dizzy.

"That is to say, this old lady is my grandfather's aunt, maybe a cousin or a cousin."

"And then, she almost remarried my grandfather's third uncle?"

Chi Qing thought for a while and finally figured out the relationships between the elders.

"Yeah, that's the relationship."

Aunt Li Hua nodded, and then added:

"I can't guarantee that."

"I heard this from the old people in the village who have passed away when I was young."

Aunt Li Hua said.

"It's a pity that your grandfather is gone. If he were still alive, he would know more."

"I heard that your grandfather used to have a good relationship with this cousin and your grandfather's third uncle."

Wang Xiangming also interjected.

"That third uncle said your grandfather was going to be a high-ranking official."

"In the end, it turned out that the person who became a high-ranking official was not your grandfather, but your second uncle from Yue's family."

Wang Xiangming also said this from the side.

Chi Qing felt his mind was in a mess.

These people seem to have nothing to do with each other, but it always feels like it’s not that simple.

It seems like something is about to be connected, but there is always something missing.
