what is my husband

"Mr. Chang is here?"

As far as he knows, no one in the Chang family has died in the past few decades.The eldest, Mr. Chang, has a youthful face and a hale and hearty spirit.

"Accompany Mr. Lu to do something." Chang Huasheng avoided the subject and looked at the tombstone in front of Jiao Xuliang.

On the tombstone is a [-]-year-old girl with a bright smile and narrowed eyes.The black and white color scheme made that immature face look a bit cold.

Following his gaze, Jiao Xuliang curled up his fingers hanging on both sides, then his gaze fell to the ground, and he whispered, "It's my daughter, the eldest daughter."

Chang Huasheng and Jiao Xuliang have known each other for several years, and this is the first time I heard from him that he actually has a daughter.

Jiao Xuliang glanced at Lu Ting, the young man quietly looked at the photo of his daughter, wondering what he was thinking.People in the circle know a little about some things, and there is nothing to hide from others.

His eyes fell back on Chang Huasheng's face again, and he said, "Nannan is a child my wife and I adopted before I gave birth to Shushu. At that time, I had some health problems, and the doctor said that the chances of having a baby were slim. The two of us discussed it. I thought, why don’t you just adopt one. As a result, my wife became pregnant the second year after adoption. The two sisters had a good relationship since childhood, but when Nan Nan was 15 years old, she committed suicide. At that time, Shushu was only 12 years old. Years old, watching her sister die in the bathtub..."

"I think you should have heard that Shushu has been recuperating abroad before and only came back last year."

Chang Huasheng had indeed heard about this matter, and was about to say something to comfort him, when he suddenly heard Lu Ting ask, "Mr. Jiao, may I ask, why did your eldest daughter commit suicide?"

Jiao Xuliang didn't like Lu Ting, and he didn't shake face because of his friend's face.But at this moment, looking at the young man's sincere face with a bit of concern, he couldn't say anything perfunctory for some reason.

"I don't know..." Jiao Xuliang felt that he was a very failed father, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably because of the past that was brought up.Right now, he is very fragile, and he has completely lost the vigor of the past.

"Nan Nan said in her suicide note that she felt tired and shouldn't have come to this house."

After the eldest daughter was brought home, the couple did not treat her coldly because of blood relationship.After giving birth to a younger sister, they paid even more attention to her than ever before, in order to prevent the eldest daughter from thinking too much.

They tried their best to love her, and what they got instead was a corpse, a death certificate, and a lifeless tombstone.

His wife suffered from depression due to the death of her eldest daughter, and it has only improved in the past few years.Except for the memorial day, when he misses occasionally, he comes alone, not daring to let his wife get hurt, and the old illness relapses.

"Did she really say that?" Jiao Xuliang said Lu Ting's words, and his eyes fell on the photo.

Jiao Xuliang nodded: "Yes."

Lu Ting: "Maybe it's just angry words, she loves you very much."

Jiao Xuliang was stunned for a moment, looking at his daughter's tombstone with loving eyes, yes, she loved them very much, and from the first day she was brought home, she showed a strong attachment to him and his wife.

Chang Huasheng looked at Lu Ting's side face in a daze, he always felt that there was something in the young man's words.

Sensing his gaze, Lu Ting smiled at him, and patted his trouser pocket through the fabric with his hand: "Mr. Chang, I'm going to go shopping elsewhere, you guys talk slowly."

Jiao Xuliang adjusted his mood, looked at the back of the young man leaving and asked his brother: "He came to choose the cemetery? Otherwise, what else is there to visit?"

"He... has something to do." Chang Huasheng chose a vague answer.

Jiao Xuliang rubbed his face, put his sadness back into his heart completely, then straightened the crooked bouquet, pressed Chang Huasheng's shoulder, and signaled to go to the side for a chat.

Chang Huasheng knew what he wanted to know, and before the other party opened his mouth, he had already explained the Chang family's affairs thoroughly.

Jiao Xuliang: "Chang Huafei did it to himself, but I heard from friends in the hospital that his tongue rotted for no reason. What's going on?"

"Retribution." Chang Huasheng smiled inexplicably.

Jiao Xuliang: "You kid is hiding something."

Chang Huasheng: "Brother Jiao, there are some things that are better believed than not believed."

The person opposite suddenly became serious, Jiao Xuliang frowned uncomfortably: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"My sister-in-law called me and said that the matter of the woman's crying has not been resolved." Chang Huasheng couldn't understand the efficiency of the property management. "How many days has it been, and it has not been resolved?"

"If no one can be caught, the property or the police will dispatch, and the crying will stop."

"The police must be fine. Could it be that there is an internal response from the property? But what good does it do them?"

"I don't know." Jiao Xuliang's head twitched when he mentioned this, "Who are you talking about who stays up in the middle of the night and does such immoral things on a full stomach."

Chang Huasheng glanced at Lu Ting in the distance, and shook his head silently.

Jiao Xuliang sighed. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the young man bypassing the rows of tombstones and going deep into the weeds. He said speechlessly, "Why is he walking around like this?"

"You don't want to know."

"..." All right, he is probably doing something nagging, he really doesn't want to know.Jiao Xuliang didn't have the burden of being a boss, so he casually retreated towards the flower bed behind him, and sat down in one breath.

Chang Huasheng sat next to him, and chatted with Jiao Xuliang about the daily life: "How is Shushu doing recently, he will go to high school soon."

"The grades are either good or bad." Jiao Xuliang said, "Since Nannan's incident, my wife and I have thought about it. As long as the child is happy and happy, healthy growth is more important than anything else."

Chang Huasheng felt that Jiao Xuliang's heart was not as relaxed as he said, "You seem to be worried about something."

"Brother, we are so familiar, I won't hide it from you. Shushu is very introverted. Ever since her sister died, she has refused to tell us anything. One day a while ago, when she came back, she was still wounded. , asked her and said she fell, but her expression at that time seemed to be wronged."

Chang Huasheng: "Have you asked the teacher?"

"I asked, and they said they jumped into the bunker in the physical education class in the afternoon, and it should have been worn out at that time."

"You don't believe it?" Chang Huasheng sharply pointed out.

"Nan Nan committed suicide for a reason that we don't know. I'm worried..." The death of the eldest daughter cast a shadow on the couple, and they were afraid that the younger daughter would also have an accident without looking after her.

"Will not."

The two chatted for more than half an hour, and the topic shifted from the children to their respective companies.Finally, at almost four o'clock, the young man came back.

On such a hot day, the shirts of the two big men sitting in the shade were so hot that their shirts were wet, but Lu Ting seemed to live in another space, his forehead was clean, and his clothes were still fresh.

Jiao Xuliang glanced at him strangely, then glanced again, and muttered strangely: "I envy this kind that is not afraid of heat."

Lu Ting is also hot, but with his little uncle following him, he is much cooler.Lin Gui is a movable, permanent block of ice, as long as he is willing, then you can experience what it means to feel cool in the hot summer.

After getting into the car, Chang Huasheng turned on the air conditioner, and followed Jiao Xuliang's car leisurely.

Driving the car down the mountain road outside the cemetery, he glanced at the young man leaning on the back of the chair, but he didn't want to be caught by the other party's eyes.

Lu Ting: "Do you have something to say?"

"I think it's a bit strange when you talk about his daughter in Mr. Jiao."

"I'm just telling the truth." Lu Ting said, "When he was talking, her daughter was watching by the tombstone."

That wisp of soul was very light, different from the ghosts Lu Ting had encountered before, not so strong of yin and hostility, not even resentment.She looked at Jiao Xuliang with deep nostalgia and nostalgia. She really didn't blame her father, she loved this man who raised her as always.

Different from the indifference of the young man, Chang Huasheng almost shouted: "What?! You said that his daughter is always there?"

He swallowed his saliva twice, and tightened his fingers holding the steering wheel so as not to be too excited to steer, "Will the ghosts in the neighborhood cry..."

"It's not her." Lu Ting is very sure, "For example, the ghost whose hostility is strong enough to affect the owners of the community is an elephant, so Nan Nan is just an ant."

Chang Huasheng: "..."

Ahead, Jiao Xuliang knew nothing about what happened.Chang Huasheng looked at the buttocks of the car that was running smoothly, and asked Lu Ting: "Then she has been following President Jiao like this, is it really all right? Will it affect his body?"

"Probably not. The yin energy on Nan Nan's body just needs to be exposed to the sun." It was precisely because of this that he didn't notice anything wrong with Jiao Xuliang when they met before.

Lu Ting propped his elbows on the window of the car, and supported one side of his jaw with his palm, "She is still in this world, she should be unwilling, and someone has been enshrining her."

"President Jiao's wife, or the youngest daughter?" Chang Huasheng felt that these two people were the most likely.

"I think so too." Lu Ting looked out, and happened to see a small half of Jiao Xuliang's face in the rearview mirror of the car in front of him, "I'm just not sure, whether the people in Jiao's family know about Nan Nan's existence."

"Boss Jiao definitely doesn't know." Chang Huasheng glanced at Lu Ting inexplicably, indicating that you understand.

Lu Ting pursed his lower lip: "Then only Mrs. Jiao and Shushu are left. Mr. Chang, have you seen Shushu?"

"I haven't seen it before." Chang Huasheng said, "But I heard that her mental condition was not very good before, and I only found out the specific reason today. Could she be insane because she was frightened by her sister? "

"I can't rule out this possibility." Lu Ting folded his hands on his chest, his eyes became deep, "What about Mrs. Jiao, do you know her?"

"I've met three times at the dinner. She is a very gentle woman, and she is not very timid. Every time at the dinner, other wives are talking and laughing, but Mrs. Jiao always sits next to her husband, looking very reserved. She will blush." ​​Chang Huasheng said, "So when she called today, I was quite surprised. By the way, she is different from Mr. Jiao, she seems to believe in ghosts and gods."

Judging from Jiao Xuliang's simple description, the couple treated their eldest daughter very well.Assuming that Mrs. Jiao knew about the existence of the eldest daughter, as a mother's protection for the child, she should not let Chang Huasheng find her.

Lu Ting made a judgment: "The person enshrining Nan Nan is her sister."

"I didn't expect their sisters to have such a deep relationship." Chang Huasheng couldn't help but think of Chang Huafei, who also grew up together. His relationship with Chang Huafei was lukewarm when he was young, but completely opposed when he grew up. I can't remember when was the last time the two brothers chatted peacefully.

Not long after, the car entered the urban area, and it was time to diverge.

Jiao Xuliang parked the car on the side of the road, and showed the usual false politeness in the business world: "Mr. Lu, it's getting late, let Brother Chang see you off, see you next time when you have time."

Lu Ting: "...Okay."

Since Lu Ting said that Nan Nan's soul has no effect on people, Chang Huasheng chose to rot the matter in his stomach.He rolled his eyes at Jiao Xuliang, and said, "Let's go."

Jiao Xuliang nodded, got in the car and headed in the opposite direction.

When he got home, his wife was catching up on sleep, the curtains were drawn, and the room was very dark.He went to the bed and touched his wife's hair. Seeing the woman woke up in a daze, he whispered, "Didn't sleep well last night?"

"If this goes on like this, I will have a nervous breakdown." Mrs. Jiao knew her husband didn't believe that, so she didn't mention her phone call, "Xuliang, or we should move. I'll have the house in Beiting community cleaned up. Let's take care of it temporarily." live there."

"It will take at least one to two days to tidy up the house, why don't we go to a hotel first?" Jiao Xuliang looked at his wife's green shadow and felt distressed.

"If you want to go, go, I won't go." The youngest daughter, Shushu, suddenly appeared at the door. Her hair was so long that it reached her waist, and her bangs were about to cover her eyes, and she refused to cut it.

Mrs. Jiao sat up from the bed and waved to her daughter: "Shouldn't you be at school at this time? Why are you back suddenly?"

"I left yesterday's homework at home." Shushu lowered her voice, looking down at her toes.After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head, brushed her bangs away with her fingers, and looked straight at her mother, "Can you not leave?"

Jiao Xuliang thought the coquettish daughter was very cute, walked over, bent down to meet her eye level, "Go out to live, you and mom can have a good sleep at night."

My daughter's eyes are bloodshot, and the dark circles under her eyes are as heavy as her mother's. It's time for her to grow up, so she can't sleep well for a long time.

Shushu suddenly lost his temper, clenched his fists and screamed: "I won't go, I won't go! I want to live at home and not go anywhere!"

"Okay, we won't leave if you don't leave. Daddy and mother will stay with you, okay?" Mrs. Jiao got off the bed and hugged her daughter gently.

Because I stayed abroad for two years, I missed my homework. My daughter is 15 years old and is still in the second year of junior high school.But because she was born prematurely, her development was slower than her peers, so she looked very young, no different from a twelve or thirteen-year-old junior high school girl.

"Mom, you said that." Shushu turned to look at her father, "And you, do you agree?"

"Of course I want to be with you." Jiao Xuliang hugged the mother and daughter, and suddenly felt that this scene was like parting from life to death.

This thought was too unlucky, Jiao Xuliang quickly stopped his thoughts, thinking about contacting various owners, even if he didn't sleep tonight, he wanted to catch the "female ghost".

-

The car drove into the Henghua community, Chang Huasheng parked the car downstairs, and habitually waited for the young man to go upstairs before leaving.

Entering the bedroom, Lu Ting took out the wishing bottle, and found that the Gu worm after eating and drinking became darker and brighter than before, and the hard carapace seemed to be integrated with the body.

The cork on the wishing bottle was opened, Lu Ting released the Gu worm, and threw it to the paper figurine on the table to guard.

The little paper figurine is already very experienced, like a little guard, he will go wherever the Gu worm goes, always protecting the other with his body, for fear that it will fall off the table.

There was a jingling sound from the next door, and Lu Ting opened the door to go out. Lin Zhiyan was instructing the workers to smash the wall, planning to change the layout of the living room.

"Brother Lin."

The voice of the young man Lang Run came, Lin Zhiyan took the blueprint, turned his head to look, and said in surprise: "I thought you went to work."

"No, I've been working from home recently." Lu Ting looked at the decoration inside, and the workers were busy.

"Because of the fire before?" Lin Zhiyan said with a dark face, "I heard that it was the employees who set the fire, and they have already been arrested."

"Well. Brother Li Qian has found a new office, and some chores have not been dealt with yet. When it is settled, everyone will go to work normally." Lu Ting walked in past Lin Zhiyan, and saw Lin Yizheng wearing a hard hat, helping the workers adjust wall paint.

Lin Yi lifted his helmet and shouted to Lu Ting, "Mr. Lu."

Lin Zhiyan stepped forward: "Father was very worried after knowing what happened two days ago, and has always wanted to come and see you, but he is not feeling well recently..."

"What's wrong with Mr. Lin?" Lu Ting remembered that Lin Zhaochen was in good health, and judging from his appearance, he had a long life, which could not be matched with illness.

Lin Zhiyan: "Anemopyretic and cold, it's not a problem."

He didn't tell the truth, Lin Zhaochen had a heart attack completely because of Lu Ting's fright.

There were many reporters around the playground that day, and several TV stations were broadcasting the development of the matter live.

Lin Zhaochen was standing in front of the TV at the time, and when he saw Lu Ting fall off the Ferris wheel, he covered his heart on the spot.If it weren't for the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill at hand, the person might have already entered the hospital for emergency treatment.

Lu Ting was not at ease: "Can I go and have a look?"

"Of course." Lin Zhiyan said.

When Lin Zhaochen received the call from his eldest son, he was lying ill on the bed. The image of Lu Ting falling down always appeared in his dreams repeatedly. He hadn't slept well for three consecutive days.

The Lin family owed too much to their uncle, and they managed to marry a reasonably satisfactory daughter-in-law. If something happened... Lin Zhaochen always felt that Lin Gui would go crazy.

Or to put it another way, he would become uncontrollable.

Mr. Lu has enshrined his little uncle for the Lin family for so many years, why didn't he look for a ghost marriage sooner or later, he wanted to look for it before his own death, and the person he found was his own grandson.

If it were him, who would dare to let his little grandson marry a dead man, even if he risked his life, he would still make the family restless.

The whole thing was weird and strange from beginning to end.

Lin Zhaochen couldn't figure out the reason, but he knew that nothing happened to Lu Ting.

After lying sickly in bed for several days, the air in the room was very dull.He thought for a while, and told his eldest son to pick Lu Ting up tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhaochen got up, perhaps because he thought that his aunt was coming, and he became more energetic.

Seeing his old man come out of the room, the butler put down the tray in his hand and went up to him, reaching out to help him.Lin Zhaochen waved him to stand aside, a little unhappy: "I'm in good health, I haven't reached that point yet."

The butler didn't dare to say anything, and followed step by step to the living room on the first floor.

Lin Zhaochen sat down on the sofa and began to explain what the housekeeper needed to buy.

The housekeeper is a fine person, and he knew that Lu Ting was coming, and immediately ordered his aunt to clean the bedroom after he stepped back.Auntie was very happy, the old lady passed away early, the master did not remarry, and the three men in the family were more silent than the other. Once Mr. Lu came, the atmosphere in the family would be much better.

In the early morning, when Lin Zhiyan came to pick him up, Lu Ting was replacing the incense burner for his little uncle.

He has more money in his hand, so he doesn't have to pick it up anymore. Yesterday, he bought a new imported handmade cast iron incense burner on Taobao. It is the kind that is extremely expensive. When paying, Lu Ting hesitated for almost 15 minutes. It was Lin Gui. With a "tsk", he gritted his teeth and pressed the confirmation button.

Because it is in the same city, the courier delivered the goods early this morning.

While wiping the new incense burner with a clean rag, Lu Ting recalled his little uncle's expression at that time. He should have read it right. He smiled, indicating that he was very satisfied with the new incense burner.

When the family's economic conditions were just a little bit better, they started to prodigal.The most frightening thing is that the little uncle is inseparable from him all day long, and he can't even save his private money!

Lu Ting dared not speak out, put the cleaned incense burner aside, and took out the soil he carried with him from his backpack.

Lin Gui happened to look over, and in a blink of an eye, he stood in front of the young man, grabbed his wrist and said forcefully, "I don't want this."

"This is the soil that was used to raise you before." Lu Ting reminded.

"..." Lin Gui looked coldly at the handful of soil, "I said, no."

"Then I'll dig it for you in the garden downstairs." Lu Ting withdrew his hand in a good-tempered manner, turned and went out.

Lin Gui's attitude towards the handful of soil has never been very good. Lu Ting remembers seeing his little uncle deliberately breaking up and gathering the soil, with a slightly cruel look in his eyes. It was the same just now, as if the handful of soil was a disgusting dirty thing .

"I am a seal..." Lu Ting stopped in front of the elevator, looking at his blurred reflection on the elevator door.

The seal needs a carrier, so is his seal on the flowerpot, or in the soil?The little uncle said that they generate and restrain each other, and used plants and soil as metaphors.

Lu Ting felt as if he knew why men hated soil so much.

Because his seal was made in the mud.

Mr. Lu's calculation was quite clever. Lin Gui needed to rely on soil to survive, so in the beginning, what really trapped him was not the broken flower pot in two, but the strange handful of soil.

After the original seal was broken, his human-shaped seal was actually not very effective. It was only because of the life-and-death marriage with the man that he became a strong rope that Lin Gui could neither break free nor cut off.

Lu Ting felt a little cold. Grandpa is so confident that a marriage letter can push Lin Gui into a dilemma?When did he start planning?

Lu Ting felt that he should go back to the ancestral house and take a look, wondering if there might be an answer hidden in it.

The little uncle is a fastidious person, who has been urinated by cats and dogs, and who has been stained with garbage is not good.The young man searched around the downstairs community but couldn't find a suitable one, so he had to go to the flower shop at the gate of the community to buy a bag of coconut soil.

As soon as he arrived downstairs with the bag in hand, he saw Lin Zhiyan get off the car.

Lin Zhiyan saw at a glance that the young man was worried, and asked him if something happened to him.

Lu Ting was perfunctory and pretended to yawn: "Maybe I didn't sleep well."

Lin Zhiyan: "How about going there later?"

"No, I'll go back and change my clothes and we'll go. Just in time, I want to go over to ask Mr. Lin something earlier."

After returning home, Lu Ting pressed the coconut soil into the incense burner. Lin Zhiyan watched curiously from a distance, because he found that as long as he got too close, there would be an obvious suffocation in his chest. feel.

He knew that that person was in this small room, quietly watching his every move.

After finishing the incense burner, Lu Ting put three sticks of incense on Lin Gui, and wiped the small plaque on his neck with the velvet cloth specially made for little uncles.Then Lu Ting said to Lin Zhiyan: "Let's go."

Before leaving, Lin Zhiyan couldn't help but look back at the room. He remembered that the curtains were clearly open, but the light in the room dimmed a little bit. The moment he lifted his hind feet away, the door closed with a snap.

Lin Zhiyan touched his nose, feeling that he didn't seem to be liked by that person.
