Under the guidance of the Qian family, the two parties made a contract, and there was a small episode before paying the rent, although Shen Luzhu knew about his own situation, Lin Qiuyi did not tell them the truth, and he did not know whether she had any silver on her, afraid that she was embarrassed to continue to live in her own house, so she forced herself to say that she wanted to rent a yard to live, and specially asked her if she had any money to pay rent, if not, he could help her pay in advance.

Lin Qiuyi was very moved by this, apologized, and thought about revealing part of her true life experience to Shen Luzhu, so that she didn't have to worry about paying her rent. Then Lin Qiuyi lived in the backyard of the family east of the Chu family's old mansion as a distant relative of Yuanshuang.

At this time, the little couple is also busy again, preparing for the business season to come before the Spring Festival, just when several are fully engaged in the production of paper money, I don't know when it started, rumors about the paper money shop of the little couple suddenly spread in the mountain village.

First of all, someone suddenly mentioned that the little couple was arrested by the government, and began to question whether it would be disrespectful to the ancestors to buy their family's paper money, a middle-aged woman wearing a gray jacket, saw that under the big banyan tree at the head of the village, there were several aunts and aunts chatting in the sun over there, and walked over quickly.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a few people chatting about buying New Year's goods, and hurriedly interjected: "Speaking of buying New Year's goods, I'm worried, and I'm really entangled for a while."

An eldest lady next to her thought that the middle-aged woman was not taking advantage of the money at home, and asked a little strangely, "Aunt her, I remember that your family's harvest this year is not still good?" Why are you worried about the New Year's goods!"

Seeing someone talking, the middle-aged woman was overjoyed and hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood, it's not because of the silver, it's not because of the silver matter, it's not that you have to prepare the paper money for the sacrifice in a few days, I'm worried about this!"

The man was even more strange when he heard this: "What is there to worry about? The Chu family's shop has already opened, just find a day to buy it!"

"Eh, sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth, I'm worried that the paper money sold by the Chu family can't be used! You said that they were not arrested because of these paper money, if they used his family's paper money to worship their ancestors, what if the ancestors were to blame? Don't ask for the blessing at that time, but attract something bad, eh, I'd better buy it in another place, it's too far to go to the town, if only there was another one in the village that sells paper money, sister-in-law, don't you say?"

The lady who had accosted her before looked at the other party a little inexplicably: "The matter of the Chu family, I remember that it was a misunderstanding, didn't I later arrest the Hu family in Wufang Village, how long has it been, why don't you know?"

Another aunt interjected, "Why don't you know, no one in the nearby villages knows about it! Besides, how long has it been, who hasn't bought the paper money sold by the little couple for so long, if there is really anything bad, it has not spread in this village long ago, and you are only thinking about it now, is it a little too late!"

As soon as these words came out, the previous lady also remembered something: "Yes, if she doesn't say that I forgot, during the Winter Clothes Festival, I also saw you go to their house to buy paper money, what happened after the ancestor worship?"

The middle-aged woman originally thought that she was just going out to spread gossip to others, but she didn't expect that the money was not so easy to earn, but fortunately, she received the copper plate first, and she didn't promise that something must come out of the other end.

"No, no, it's just that I've been idle for the past two days, and I'm thinking about it, how can my sisters-in-law still take it seriously!"

In the past few days, several people have mentioned this topic, but the results are all the same, and no one else believes or is interested in this topic. Because of this, those few people tossed once, not to mention the relatives and friends of the Chu family who have been busy recently, and even the people in the village who have heard of it are only a few.

This time, because they wanted to raise money to send Chu Ren to other private schools, and reunited to discuss the strategy, the Wang family and the Li family, did not expect that the copper plate cost a lot, but the effect was not at all, after asking the people who received the copper plate at that time, they could only go home and ponder a new trick, and secretly competed in their hearts, this time

It is inevitable that the shop of the small couple will be made yellow, otherwise before the private school starts next year, in less than two months, where will they go to get so much silver.

So a plan failed, then another plan, one day in the middle of the month, the village suddenly came out of a new rumor, some people said that it was a small couple of copper coins burned paper on the grave after the sacrifice, actually dreamed in the middle of the night by the ancestors loudly reprimanded, said that the children and grandchildren are not filial, actually used the paper money sold by the people who have been in prison, burned to themselves!

The man went around the village vividly and told others about his nightmare, and then someone came out one after another to say that the same situation had happened, and for a while there were indeed people who were suspicious, and when the fat aunt heard this rumor from others for the first time, she still scoffed and didn't take it seriously, but for several days I heard someone discussing it, so I felt that something was wrong, put down the work in my hand, and hurriedly ran to the Chu family's old house!

At this time, it was the middle of the month, and the number of people who came to the shop to buy paper money gradually increased, and the fat aunt looked left and right, and waited for the people in the house to almost go, before she stepped forward and lay on the counter and whispered to the little couple: "I don't know if your family has heard of it in the past few days, there are several families in the village recently, saying that after buying your family's paper money and going to the grave to worship, I dreamed that the ancestors of the family taught me a lesson at night! One by one, they said that they were true, and when they met people, they said that their ancestors were to blame, and they should not have bought the paper money sold by people who had been in prison!"

Shen Luzhu was sitting on the kang in the shop at this time, eating the egg custard that Chu Xiuxiu had just brought to her, and after hearing this, she and Chu Yi glanced at each other, and hurriedly put the bowl in her hand on the counter on the side, beckoning the fat aunt to go behind the counter to speak: "When did the aunt start hearing them spread this? Are all those families recent?".

The fat aunt sat next to Shen Luzhu and communicated with her in a whisper: "Chu family's daughter-in-law, you eat first, you listen to me tell you while eating, in fact, I heard about this once in the first few days, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and I felt that maybe it was a long-tongued woman who came out to talk nonsense, but I didn't expect that in the past two days, several families suddenly came out to say this, I feel that this thing is not quite right, why is it so coincidental, how long has it been since that incident, and no one has been unhappy for such a long time, Catch up with this time and suddenly be unhappy together? I'm wondering if someone is targeting you two! Have you had any recent feuds with that side?"

There is no need for the fat aunt to explain, the little couple naturally knows that she is talking about Uncle Chu's family, Chu Yi looked at his wife and asked with his eyes, could it be that he pretended to be a ghost to scare the Wang family last time, but it has been so long, and the Wang family only started to fight back at this time, is it too slow to react.

Shen Luzhu's first reaction to this matter was also that the Wang family did it, but since the last time the Xie family happened, Uncle Chu's shop was closed for a while, and after the door was opened, he didn't even sell the ordinary yellow burnt paper and white money.

What the little couple didn't know was that the Wang family was really scared last time, but the real reason why she didn't sell paper money anymore was not that she had learned a lesson, but that Uncle Chu's family had too many bad things for a while, and Wang had been sick, no one went to the town to buy goods, and no one was in the mood to cut paper to make the copper money to burn paper, so it was put on hold.

Chu Yi thought for a while and asked, "Does my aunt know about my uncle's coffin shop, but she has started selling paper money again?"

The fat aunt slapped her thigh when she heard this: "It's strange here, I also think it's a ghost over there, and I went to take a look, but there are only coffins in their shops over there, and I haven't seen them sell paper money!"

Shen Luzhu was puzzled: "This is strange, if the shop over there doesn't sell paper money, then who deliberately spread rumors and make trouble?" How could it really be a collective dream of some ancestors?"

Chu Yi also said: "If this matter is just said by one family, it may be true, and suddenly so many people say so, then it must be false!"

The fat aunt was also very puzzled: "Chu Yi is right, those households have not bought your family's paper money before, and they have never had anything to do!" But I also made a special inquiry, except for your uncle's family, there is no new shop in the nearby village that wants to open a new shop to sell paper money!"

There is no one in the nearby village who wants to open a paper money shop, the only one

The coffin shop that competed with them stopped selling paper money two months ago, which is really outrageous the more you talk about it, but Shen Luzhu still feels that Bacheng is inseparable from the Wang family, although he has not explained clearly for the time being, what happened to him over there, but he did not do his family's business.

"It's okay, if someone does it on purpose, it will always show the fox's tail in the end, do you know how the people in the village react to this?"

"No one in the village believes what they say, most of them are suspicious, after all, they have been buying your paper money, and nothing has ever happened, and it is estimated that some people have thought of one place with me, guessing that there may be something going on over there, many people know that you are contradictory on both sides, and the Wang family didn't steal your paper money before."

The fat aunt's words provided Shen Luzhu with a new idea, could it be that the eldest aunt learned to be smart this time, I was afraid that everyone would guess in advance that she was making trouble, so she deliberately did not sell paper money first, so as to block the mouth of everyone in the village?

After thinking about it, Shen Luzhu shook his head again and again in his heart, and he couldn't convince himself: "Then we can only wait and see what happens!"

Chu Yi nodded: "Ah Zhu is right, now that he goes out to explain, it will be a failure."

Seeing this, the fat aunt hurriedly relieved: "You two don't have to worry too much, I see that the business of your shop is not very good, it has not been affected, I will go out to inquire again, and see that those people say they have nightmares."

"Then there's Aunt Lao!"

"What do I see with my aunt, I, I wish you were better and better, so that my niece and nephew and son-in-law can also live a better life!"

"Auntie, where is this, they are our cousins and younger siblings, and it is supposed to support each other."

The fat aunt waved her hand and came out from behind the counter as she spoke: "Cheng, I'll tell you as soon as there is news, I'll go first!"
