Hearing this, Zhong Zanyu couldn't help but glanced at Song Fengchen.

There was a dead silence in the room.

Song Fengchen frowned slightly, and after a long silence, he said, "This is a bit too much."

Zhong Mengshen smiled wryly: "I'm just afraid of being poor. People are poor, and their hearts are also poor."

Thinking of his old father who died of starvation back then, Zhong Mengshen's eyes turned red.

He never knew how immoral what he was doing, but after all, he couldn't bear the scheming of people, otherwise he wouldn't believe in a rumor that was indistinguishable from truth to false, as if he was fascinated by a ghost.

Zhong Mengshen defended weakly: "At that time, the foreman also said that dozens of members of the squire Peng's family died at the hands of the pirates, and none of them survived."

In Zhong Mengshen's words at the time, it would be better to make his family cheaper than occupying the latrine and not shitting.

It is also because of this that he dared to do such a thing that would risk the disgrace of the world.

"So what's going on now?" Song Fengchen asked.

Zhong Mengshen's complexion changed slightly, his chest heaved violently, and the meridians on his neck stood up tremblingly, as if he was suppressing something.

After a long time, after a sigh, his tone was full of helplessness and resentment: "The family is unlucky, and the retribution is not good."

Unfortunately, Zhong Mengshen's family name refers to his eldest daughter Zhong Yueqing.

Zhong Yueqing is the daughter left by his original wife's deceased wife.

For this daughter, Zhong Mengshen's heart is half loving and half indebted.

Love is out of the memory of the dead wife, but it is a long story to be in debt.

The reason why Zhong Mengshen chose to continue after his original wife died of illness was that his own needs were one thing, and more because he didn't trust the servants at home, so he wanted to find a more appropriate mistress to help take care of his old mother and young daughter.

The reason why Jia Yan was chosen was that the other party was the daughter of the chief of the police station in the town, and she could help him more or less in certain matters.

On the other hand, Jia Yan is a widow, and at the moment, ethics are particularly harsh on women.Therefore, on the surface it was Zhong Mengshen who came to Jia's house, but invisibly, Jia Yan bowed him down.Such a person entered the gate of Zhong's house, but anyone with a little self-knowledge knows that they should live with their necks hunched.

Just as Zhong Mengshen expected, after Jia Yan married in, she had to do everything by herself.Whether it is taking care of the mother-in-law, raising the daughter, or managing the middle class, everything is done properly.

Zhong Mengshen couldn't be more satisfied with Jia Yan's virtuousness.

It's just that within a few years, his father-in-law suddenly lost his fortune, and the Jia family soared into the sky, overwhelming him.

Especially after Jia Yan became pregnant, she was full of confidence, straightened her back, changed her good temper in the past, and left all the care of the elderly to the servants below; The stepdaughter, who was a gentry and the old lady, gave her a lot of embarrassment, and Jia Yan even made no secret of her dislike for her.

That is to say, from now on, Jia Yan treated Zhong Yueqing harshly, but it was true to ignore her.

Although Zhong Mengshen saw these things, he was helpless, because now he had to rely on the Yue family for everything.

Especially after Zhong Mengshen's father-in-law died of illness and his brother-in-law took over.For the Jia family, son-in-law and brother-in-law are two completely different concepts.

Doesn't Zhong Mengshen rely on Jia Yan to maintain the relationship between the Zhong family and the Jia family? They all say that you can't have both. With one son and two daughters, there is hard work without merit, Zhong Mengshen can only slowly alienate his eldest daughter Zhong Yueqing on the bright side.

Of course, taking into account Jia Yan's presence, these things can't be said too thoroughly, Zhong Mengshen mentioned a few words vaguely, Song Fengchen is not stupid, if he thinks about it a little bit, he knows what's going on.

In Zhong Mengshen's words, it's a pity that Zhong Yueqing can't understand his helplessness and good intentions.Maybe it was because of her stubborn temper, or because of the child's heart, in order to show her own sense of existence, and also to get revenge on him, Zhong Yueqing started to fight him up and down.

Especially after the death of his old mother, Zhong Yueqing, who had no one to discipline her, became more daring and reckless. She hangs out all day long, contradicts the teacher at school today, and beats up her classmates tomorrow, her reputation is ruined...

Zhong Mengshen was tired of coping with these alone, and the little indebtedness to Zhong Yueqing from the bottom of his heart gradually faded away in her provocations day after day.

What really made Zhong Mengshen give up on her was that in the year when the last emperor Puyi was expelled from the palace, Zhong Yueqing stole the spice recipes from his family and sold them to his deadly enemy at a price of [-] oceans...

For the first time, Zhong Mengshen didn't beat and scold her, but silently cleaned up the mess for her.It's just that from then on, Zhong Mengshen never cared about her again, even if she later insisted on marrying a poor schoolteacher who was a year older than her and abandoned his wife in order to cling to the Zhong family.

Zhong Mengshen was unable to elaborate on the 'great' love story between Zhong Yueqing and that poor teacher, he only said: "This time something happened to my family, it was Zhong Yueqing's family who caused the trouble."

Is there any necessary connection between the theft of Feng Shui treasure land and the pile of rotten rice in the Zhong family?

Thinking of this, Song Fengchen's mind flashed: "Mr. Zhong, what does Mr. Zhong mean, is your eldest daughter's husband?"

Zhong Mengshen nodded: "His father is the concubine of the head of the Peng family. It is said that he was sent to the countryside because he offended the head of the house. Unexpectedly, he just escaped the massacre and survived."

Almost subconsciously, Song Fengchen said: "How can there be such a coincidence?"

"Yeah, how could it be such a coincidence." Zhong Mengshen smiled wryly: "Probably this is fate!"

Song Fengchen didn't take it seriously, and he asked again: "So, what is the reason for that old ghost to haunt your house, but never directly kill your family?"

"He said that my Zhong family was able to be where it is today because my family dug his family's grave and stole the luck that should belong to his family. Otherwise, with the blessing of Feng Shui treasure land, how could Peng Zhi live such a useless life."

It was Zhong Zanyu who spoke, and he took a deep breath, "He said that my family has enjoyed wealth and honor for so many years, and now it's time to return the property to its original owner."

The implication is that Zhong Mengshen should hand over all his property to Zhong Yueqing's family.

"He also said that he has plenty of time to clean us up. If my family doesn't follow what he said, one person in my family will die every month."

As he spoke, Zhong Zanyu took off the gentleman hat he was wearing on his head, revealing a sarcoma the size of a ping-pong ball on top of his head.

"Today is the No.20 eighth day when he appeared." Zhong Mengshen slapped the quilt in front of him with his fist, his gray beard trembled, and he said with hatred: "But I just don't want to accept my fate."

He looked at Song Fengchen suddenly, his eyes burst into a bright light: "Mr. Song——"
