"You've made quite a fortune."

"But I still think it's a bit too little. I have two sons studying, and in the future, when they get married and buy houses, it will definitely require a lot of money."

After Chen Yuanshan and Fang Yusheng opened up the conversation, Fang Yusheng's emotions relaxed, and he was no longer as fearful as before.

"Chen Daochang, my wife won't be in trouble, right?"

Fang Yusheng shifted the topic to his wife and became anxious again.

"Since you found me, your wife will be fine. Just set your mind at ease."

Chen Yuanshan smiled reassuringly, calming Fang Yusheng's uneasy heart.

Feeling more confident after Chen Yuanshan's assurance, Fang Yusheng's anxiety lessened.

Fang Yusheng's house was located in the northern suburbs of Yunhai City, in a village called Shiqiao Village.

We entered Fang Yusheng's house, and I noticed that the surroundings were filled with villagers who had come to watch the excitement. While observing, they discussed this family animatedly. When they saw Fang Yusheng return, they stopped discussing and turned to look at him.

In the gazes of the villagers directed at Fang Yusheng, there was a mix of resentment and complex expressions.

Fang Yusheng's house was a bright and spacious five-room tile-roofed house. The roof tiles were red-glazed tiles, and the walls were adorned with gray ceramic tiles. The yard was particularly large, covering over two hundred square meters.

In the middle of the yard, there was a cement road, and on both sides were vegetable plots growing cucumbers, kidney beans, eggplants, and chili peppers.

Following Fang Yusheng into the yard, I noticed that the curtains of the house to the east were drawn, and it was impossible to see what was happening inside. Occasionally, there were a few scolding voices heard.

"Chen Daochang, my wife is in the house to the east."

Fang Yusheng stood in the yard, pointing to the house to the east and informing Chen Yuanshan.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chen Yuanshan replied to Fang Yusheng and walked forward with confident strides.

As Chen Yuanshan moved forward, Fang Yusheng and I stood still, not moving. Neither of us followed him.

After taking a few steps, Chen Yuanshan felt something was wrong. He stopped and turned around to see Fang Yusheng and me still standing there, not following him into the house. He nearly laughed.

"You, come in with me."

Chen Yuanshan pointed at me and ordered me to follow.

"Chen, Chen, Chen Daochang, I'm scared. I won't go in with you."

I said to Chen Yuanshan and handed him the bag hanging around my neck.

"I've seen people who are afraid, but I've never seen someone as scared as you. I'm starting to look down on you."

Chen Yuanshan, with a mocking tone, took the bag from me and walked into the house.

"I'm not scared."

I retorted defiantly to Chen Yuanshan and then followed closely behind him.

Seeing me following behind, Chen Yuanshan smiled and said nothing.

When Chen Yuanshan opened the door of the house, I felt a cold and eerie chill coming from inside. Chen Yuanshan remained calm, but I couldn't help shivering, and the hairs on my body stood on end.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

At this moment, a mournful cry emanated from the eastern room. The crying sounded heartbreaking, making people feel unsettled.

Chen Yuanshan extended his right hand, pushed open the door to the eastern room, and led me inside. I saw a disheveled woman sitting on the kang in the east room,
