Hu Zongren answered and said, such a cow? If you don't thank the neighbors, forget it, but also splash paint? The aunt nodded and said, isn't it? We didn't see this baby when she was young, and when Granny Wang moved here, her son was already a big person. Within a few years, he went out of the gang, and rarely came back, but it was still Granny Wang who said it herself, and we learned that Lu Dao used to be in the underworld. The aunt clapped her hands and said, this kind of thing, it was originally a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, his own mother almost went, not only did he not worry about his mother's health, but also complained that his mother's illness delayed him to play cards. It's just that people like him can't do anything about it, other people's family affairs, other people's own mothers don't care, and we outsiders naturally don't have any position to point fingers, so I'm not here to blow it to you.

I asked my aunt again, so after this mother-in-law Wang died, his son didn't come back much? The aunt said that he still often has to come here, when his mother just died, he was in his 40s and couldn't get the money for his mother's funeral, and the funeral expenses were still the money that each family had when we went to the funeral in the neighborhood, and when the funeral was over, he sold the tattered ones that his mother could sell during her lifetime, and threw away the ones that could be thrown away, planning to rent the house to others. I pointed to the window of 2-2 and said, I don't know if no one has been here for a long time, how can anyone rent here?

My aunt suddenly told me mysteriously that there are still a lot of people who come to see the house, but everyone intentionally or unintentionally says that an old woman died here before, and some people are afraid that they don't dare to rent it, so don't go to others to tell it. I nodded, and asked my aunt again, how did those people know that there was a house for rent here? The aunt said that Granny Wang's son posted a rental advertisement on the bulletin board outside our community at that time, and he is still posting it there. I asked my aunt again, "Auntie, let me ask you the last question, how did this Granny Wang die, and where did she die?" And how long have you been dead?

For example, Hu Zongren and I both had trouble breathing because of Granny Wang's attack and locked our throats, and this aunt said that Granny Wang had asthma, so I think the reason why Granny Wang dealt with us like this was because she died of breathing difficulties, so it was asthma. The place of death determines the place where the ghost is reunited for the first time, for example, the person who dies at home can be regarded as a well-deserved death, after all, it is at home, but if it is in the hospital, then it will go home once in three days after death, see where he lived before his death, and leave if he has no regrets, and if he has regrets, he will stay for different reasons.

And this Granny Wang has stayed, obviously there are regrets, so I want to find out what its regrets are. My aunt told me that the cause of death was asthma, which had plagued her for many years, and had never been cured. And she died in her own home, or the neighbor saw that the faucet in their house was turned on all day and no one turned it off, so he called Granny Wang, and shouted that he didn't agree, a little worried that something would happen to the old man, so he pried the door in to see, but when he went in to look, he found that Granny Wang was sleeping on the balcony and had already lost her breath.

The aunt sighed and said, hey, I must have planned to boil water to wash clothes when I died, but I didn't get angry all of a sudden, so I went, the tree is old and has many roots, and people are old and sick, and it is almost the same age to live. Granny Wang has been dead for several months, and I remember dying when it happened to be the hottest time, probably June or July. Hey, by the way, aren't you developers guys? Why are you asking this? So Hu Zongren and I laughed a few times and said that we have to understand the situation first, and then we will say goodbye.

Slowly walked towards the outside of the residential area, Hu Zongren and I smoked while walking, and then I sorted out the whole thing a little, and roughly listed the situation of this old woman Wang Shoubi into a relatively complete story. To put it simply, she is probably a single mother, because she has never heard of her husband, and her son was quite old when he moved here, and he may have died or divorced for other reasons before that. But that didn't matter in the first place. In addition, Granny Wang has asthma, which will attack from time to time as she gets older, and the cause of death is asthma, which also explains why when we are attacked by Granny Wang, it will choose the means to make us unable to breathe. Fortunately, this Granny Wang is not a heart attack, otherwise we would have followed her. Granny Wang's death was about five or six months ago, 49 days had already passed, combined with the complaints of the customers in the bank earlier and the sightings of the security guard, plus those videos and the time the teller Xiaomei had received her, Granny Wang would go to the bank at least once a month, and at least once after her death, she also went to the counter. The last key piece of information is that this Granny Wang has a son, and this son can be regarded as an unfilial son, which has nothing to do with whether he took his mother's subsistence allowance or not, and if I guessed correctly, the reason why Granny Wang stayed and refused to leave was because she was never able to get her own subsistence allowance, which is now 290, and the 260 yuan in her memory at the beginning.

This is exactly what I don't understand the most, no matter how difficult you say this day, you won't watch this 260 as a life-saving money every day, what can 260 do? No matter how greedy you are, you won't take this 260 as an obsession. So when I thought of this, Hu Zongren and I decided that no matter what, we must at least meet with this Granny Wang's son first, because if this Granny Wang's obsession is really on the subsistence allowance, then only her son can withdraw the money. So we planned to pretend to be a tenant to look at the house, and called Granny Wang's son.

Since I made the phone call the first night, I was afraid that my voice would be recognized, so I replaced Hu Zongren to speak. Although Hu Zongren is not as good at lying as me, after all, he is also a person who has been in the industry for so many years, and this kind of uneducated gang member is by no means the opponent of a charlatan like us. So we found a noodle village nearby and ate a bowl of noodles, waiting for the arrival of Granny Wang's son by the way. Soon Granny Wang's son came happily, when I saw him, Hu Zongren and I were very surprised, according to the ghost of Granny Wang we saw before, it was a thin old lady, plus the family conditions were not good, the son was not doing business, and the son should not be very rich, but when I saw Granny Wang's son, I found that his height was at least 180 cm, and his weight reached at least 200 pounds, he looked in good spirits, and spoke very old-fashioned, when I saw me and Hu Zongren, When we were the ones who rented the house, they would first laugh and smoke cigarettes for us, and then brag to us about how good the house he rented was.

I asked, I heard that the house was lived by an old woman before, did they move away? The man was stunned for a moment and said, yes, he moved away and moved in with his son. I hated the guy in front of me so much, but I had to endure it. Soon Hu Zongren and I followed him to 2-2, and when we passed the courtyard downstairs, I took advantage of the man's inattention and made a shushing gesture to the aunts downstairs, and the aunts didn't say anything, just looked at us upstairs in surprise.

This is an old house you can imagine, and after entering the door is a narrow corridor, and this corridor is bricked up with a stove, and the countertop is tiled, and it is also very polished, it seems that this is the kitchen. At the end of the hallway was a small cabinet that looked like a bookcase, but one of the doors of the cabinet was nowhere to be found. The man saw me staring at the cupboard, and said, "That place used to be a bookcase, but you can also use it as a place to put clothes, and you can get the sun in the afternoon on this side, and you can have a stool and drink tea."

Entering from the hallway is a very small room, there is nothing in the room except a sofa, the sofa is still very dirty and old, and this room is connected to the bedroom and the balcony. The bedroom is also relatively small, so small that it can only fit a bed. The fan on the top had a broken blade, the white wall was stained with dirty yellow marks, the light switch was the oldest-fashioned rope switch, and the light bulb was just an incandescent lamp embedded in the wall. Also, there is nothing in this room.

I went to the balcony and said to the man, "This glass is all broken, why didn't you make up for it?" The man said that this is a matter of minutes at all, and as long as we rent it, then we can call someone to make up for it immediately. I asked again if the plants had been dead for a long time and had not been watered for a long time. The man said with a smile because the old grandmother had moved away for a long time and had no time to take care of it. I asked him again, who are you? He was stunned for a moment, and then said, I'm the landlord, she's just an old woman who rents a house.

I glanced at Hu Zongren, meaning to ask him to take this man somewhere else, so that I could see if there was any agility here. Hu Zongren nodded, and asked loudly where the toilet was for this man, and everything else was okay, there must be no place to go to the toilet and take a bath, right? The man said here, you come with me. I said you just go and see it, and I'll figure out how I can put my stuff. And just like that, I was the only one left in the room. I took advantage of the moment to quickly take out my compass and walk around the room in a few directions, and it was evident that I had detected a movement that was exactly the same as I had seen in the bank, but much calmer, even sad.

Originally, I hated being locked in my throat, but at this moment, I can't be angry with Granny Wang anymore.
