Qi Yihan didn’t plan to alert the Qi family, so he sent someone to rent a small house in the old district.
The house was a green brick house preserved from the previous century. Coupled with a small courtyard that was dozens of square meters, it was surrounded by a wall and formed a world of its own. There were also some flowers and grass planted beside the wall. There was a well on the left, and beside the well, there was a large pomegranate tree.
The pomegranate was still very young, but it looked very pleasing.
Tang Li followed Qi Yihan in. After looking around the courtyard, she went to look at the rooms and asked Qi Yihan curiously, “Yihan, are we staying here for the time being?”
“Right.”
“Then… Do we have to cook for ourselves?”
“Yeah.”
At this moment, Qi Yihan was sitting in the courtyard with a long stool and browsing his phone.
Tang Li walked behind him and looked at his phone.
She found that he was actually shopping for daily necessities with his phone.
Tang Li leaned on his shoulder and watched him choose.
Qi Yihan chose some vegetables, fruits, and meat before asking Tang Li, “What do you want to eat?”
Tang Li reached out her hand and ordered several dishes. “I want to eat this, this, this… and this.”
The first few Tang Li asked were all put into the shopping cart, but the last few were frowned upon by Qi Yihan.
Tang Li asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Qi Yihan said to her seriously, “These are junk food. You can eat some of it, but it’s not good for your health to eat too much.”
Tang Li looked at his serious expression and poked his handsome face with her finger. “But I just want to eat junk food.”
Hearing that, Qi Yihan chuckled and gave in. He looked at the supermarket and placed everything she ordered into the shopping cart.
Tang Li was happy. She tilted her head and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek. “Hubby, you’re the best.”
Qi Yihan nodded and entered the online book store.
Tang Li looked at the cookbooks and was a little surprised. “Are you buying a cookbook?”
“Yeah.”
After ordering all the items they wanted, the two of them saw that it was still early, so they prepared to go out and walk around.
Where they lived was not too far from where Zhong Yuxiu lived at that time. It was about a twenty minutes walk.
However, the place Zhou Yuxiu used to live belonged to a big family now.
It was past three in the afternoon. The two of them walked on the old street that was filled with towering trees on both sides. Sunlight shone through the leaves, leaving countless white dots on the ground.
There were not many people on the road. Occasionally, a bicycle or scooter would pass by.
In such a place, time seemed to have slowed down.
After walking for a while, a moderate-sized open park appeared in front of them. At this moment, there were many old people in the park. They were playing chess or drinking tea. From time to time, there was a burst of laughter coming from that side. It looked very lively.
Qi Yihan said to Tang Li, “Let’s go over and take a look.”
Tang Li smiled. “Are you going to ask the people about the person we’re looking for?”
“Yeah.”
The moment the two of them entered the park, they heard an old man shout at the top of his lungs, “Yutou, why did you make that move? That move was too bad. You’re definitely going to lose.”
Then, a displeased voice was heard. “Laowang, shut up. Stop trash talking.”
Immediately, the audience burst out laughing.
“Laowang, don’t you know what a lousy chess player you are?”
“That’s right. A gentleman does not speak when watching a game of chess. That’s not right.”
“I think you made a pretty good move.”
…
“It’s pointless to argue with you guys. Yutou obviously made a wrong move.”
As Laowang spoke, he walked away from the crowd, his face filled with indignation.
Then, he walked towards a group of elders who were drinking tea and chatting. He was teased by the group of elders again.
Laowang did not mind and started gossiping with them.
“Hey, have you guys heard? That young master of the Tang family is going to marry the Third Miss of the Jiang family.”
“Are you talking about the Jiang and Tang families on Chenghua Street?”
“Exactly.”
“Didn’t they say that the Tang family’s young master is ignorant and useless and likes to fool around? The Jiang family actually married their daughter off to that kind of man.”
“You know why? This Third Miss of the Jiang family has been making a fuss about marrying a dead person. The Jiang family had no choice but to marry her to the Tang family, who is compatible with her family.”
“It’s not strange for the Jiang family to marry their Third Miss to that man from the Tang family. One is fooling around, while the other has a mental problem.”
“Do you think Third Miss is really crazy, or has she really seen that kind of otherworldly thing and been bewitched?
“I heard that the Jiang family’s mansion is haunted.”
Hearing that, Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at each other and walked straight towards them.
When the old men saw the two good-looking young people coming over, they all stopped talking and looked at them curiously.
Tang Li had the kind of good girl look that elderly liked. With a smile on her face, she asked, “Grandpas, I’m a writer of horror novels. I want to find some material. Can you tell me more about that so that I can get some inspiration?”
After Tang Li finished speaking, she knew that with Qi Yihan around, the elderly would definitely hold back, so she said to Qi Yihan, “Hubby, don’t you like playing chess? Why don’t you go and watch them play?”
Qi Yihan nodded and walked towards the chessboard.
After Qi Yihan left, Tang Li sat beside them. Her eyes shone with curiosity. “Grandpas, please continue.”
The elders looked at Tang Li and could not bear to reject her.
“Actually, some people are also saying that the Jiang family has a ghost who specializes in seducing young girls’ souls. That’s why the Third Miss of the Jiang family insists on marrying a ghost.”
Tang Li interrupted, “That ghost must be very handsome.”
These words made everyone subconsciously look at her husband.
One of the old men said to her earnestly, “Not many people are as handsome as your husband.”
Tang Li smiled and said, “I’m just guessing. In this day and age, looks are everything.”
These words made the elders laugh.
“You’re right. Let’s just say that my granddaughter has recently fallen in love with an actor. Every day, she says that she wants to go see him.”
“Young people nowadays all chase after celebrities. The more you try to stop them, the more they want to chase after them.”
“Exactly…”
