Chapter 238 Are you a ghost walker? Can you do me a favor?
Liu Chunhua packed a basket of eggs, two bags of brown sugar, and caught two old hens for Su Chen.
"Take it with you, take it all with you. We'll be moving later, and we'll need to deal with this old hen too. It's better to give you an extra one."
"And this red envelope, give it to A-Ting for me."
"Don't ask too much about the Huang family's affairs. We just need to know the situation. If you ask, it will make Ting cry. It's not good. Crying during confinement can easily cause blindness."
……
She kept muttering for a while, and when Old Man Su had packed everything, she finally complained, "I gave birth to a fat grandson for the Huang family, but it still caused problems. The Huang family is such a piece of shit!"
Su Chen didn't respond, just smiled, picked up the things and entered the ghost path.
When he came out of the ghost path again, he was in the fields again.
When he looked up, he saw his father-in-law Xu Dasheng busy working in the fields again.
"Dad." Su Chen called out.
Xu Dasheng straightened up with his hands on his back out of curiosity. Seeing Su Chen, he was stunned for a moment: "Achen, why are you here?"
"A Ting is out of the hospital, I came to see her."
Xu Dasheng came over with a hoe, looked at what Su Chen had, and frowned: "Why are you taking so many things again? No, no."
"Dad, not much." Su Chen explained, "My mom said that we are moving to the city after the New Year, and she can't take the old hen with us, so she caught an extra one and brought it back to A Ting to nourish her body."
"We saved these eggs at home, and we couldn't finish them all, so we brought them here."
Su Chen glanced towards the courtyard and asked, "When did A Ting get discharged from the hospital?"
"Just two days ago."
Xu Dasheng has always been a man of few words and couldn't even say a word for a long time.
Su Chen didn't continue talking to him about A Ting, and asked him what he was going to plant in the field.
"Grow some taro, everyone loves to eat it."
In Cuicheng local dialect, taro means small potatoes.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Dad, you plant more. Honghong and the others also like to eat them. I'll steal some and bring them back later."
Xu Dasheng was delighted when he heard this: "Okay, okay, then I'll plant some more on the land behind the house. Honghong really likes eating taro. I remember the last time she came here..."
When he reached the other end of the courtyard, Su Chen saw people gathering from afar, but they didn't come over and just watched from a distance.
It’s a bit weird!
After walking through the courtyard and reaching the door, Xu Dasheng put down his hoe, helped Su Chen carry the things in, and called out, "Old woman, Ah Chen is here!"
Footsteps immediately sounded upstairs. Soon, Zhang Ju and Du Jie came down, and Ajie, Akui and the others also squatted on the stairs and looked down.
Su Chen greeted them: "Mom, sister-in-law, how is A Ting?"
Du Jie was annoyed: "What else can I do? I'm still angry now."
Zhang Ju pulled her clothes and she forced a smile: "Achen, have you been to the Huang family?"
Su Chen shook his head.
After explaining that Huang Shaowei had come to repay the debt today and Liu Chunhua and the others had tricked him into guessing that A-Ting had returned to her parents' home, he said, "It's good that she's back. I had already persuaded A-Wei to send A-Ting back to recuperate after her childbirth at the hospital."
After he said this, Du Jie started talking.
He told her in detail how Huang Shaowei's brother had caused trouble for the family division in front of A Ting, and finally snorted: "Just two or three thousand yuan, and he made such a fuss. He's just like your sister-in-law and brother!"
"Cough cough cough~" Xu Dasheng started coughing.
Du Jie knew she had said the wrong thing and laughed dryly: "Of course, your elder brother and sister-in-law were also angry at you because you were such a piece of shit!"
Zhang Ju: "..."
The amount of help.
Du Jie laughed dryly: "Well... look at my mouth."
She smacked her lips.
Su Chen smiled: "It's okay, sister-in-law. I was really a piece of shit before, so it's good that my brother and sister-in-law want to separate the family."
"A-Ting and A-Wei want to separate, and I actually support that."
"With so many people in one family, it's inevitable that there will be dissenting opinions. Life won't be comfortable, so it's better to separate them, don't you think?"
Zhang Ju and Du Jie nodded in unison.
Du Jie was still indignant: "That's the truth, but Ting is still in confinement...the Huang family is too much!"
"You don't know, when we went to pick her up, A Ting's face turned pale..."
……
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.
But there's a limit to what he can do.
After listening to their complaints, Su Chen ate another bowl of noodles before leaving.
When Xu Jiatao came back, he heard his wife sighing.
"Just now you said that Awei is better than Achen. You can only tell the good from the bad when you encounter something. Look, Achen guessed that A Ting was coming back to recuperate after her baby's birth and rushed to bring food. And look at Awei... there's no sign of him even now!"
Xu Jiatao was stunned: "Achen is here?"
"Yes, and also gave two chickens, a basket of eggs, and two bags of brown sugar."
"You didn't buy too much brown sugar, did you? Return it if you bought it. Don't waste your money."
"No, I just bought one pack. Where's A-Ting? Is she okay?"
"What could be the problem? She has a child with Wei, so she's just angry now. She'll figure it out soon."
"Achen is right. Splitting up the family is good. Even if they don't get a share of the newly built house, they can rent a place in the city. With two of them and four hands, how can they not earn enough to eat? If all else fails, they can go out to work, and Mom and I will take care of the children. At least they won't starve to death."
Xu Jiatao sighed: "I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"What's so bitter about it? She's our little sister. I'm already heartbroken. Why are you just standing there? Kill the old hen. I'll make chicken soup for A Ting tonight."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
"I'll heat some water for you to perm your hair."
Upstairs, Xu Jiating listened to the conversation coming from downstairs, kissed the child in her arms, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, closed her eyes peacefully, and soon fell asleep.
After Su Chen left the Xu family, he did not go back directly, but stepped into that world.
Cold, icy, gray...
Countless floating gray shadows were wandering around, and only occasionally could you see a house, but most of them were dilapidated.
When Su Chen found Xu Jiahua based on her horoscope, she was hiding in an ownerless, dilapidated thatched hut with several gray shadows.
When she saw Su Chen, she was stunned for a moment, and raised her hand to greet him awkwardly.
"You, you're here?"
Su Chen frowned, looked around, and sighed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your life here..."
"I'll burn down the house for you when I get back..."
Xu Jiahua waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll be reincarnated soon anyway."
"By the way, why did you come to me?"
Su Chen told A Ting about Qi Qi's situation, and after thinking about it, he didn't hide the fact that he was going back to his parents' home to recuperate after giving birth. "On the sixth day of the New Year, the whole family will be reunited. Will you go back?"
Xu Jiahua was a little hesitant.
A ghost nearby replied angrily, "During the Lunar New Year, there are firecrackers everywhere. Don't you know it's dangerous to go out?"
Su Chen: "..."
"Excuse me, you...I'm here to pick you up?"
Xu Jiahua nodded: "Thank you."
Su Chen glanced around again and said, "I'll burn down your house later."
He walked out of the thatched hut and was about to leave when he was stopped by a ghost.
The yin energy was thick and there was a hint of golden light on his body.
Su Chen observed it and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
"Are you a ghost walker? Can you do me a favor?"
