Chapter 198: Ghost Hunting Drama

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. By the time we got off work in the afternoon, all the chalk had been ground and more than 2,000 cans of toothpaste had been filled, which was nearly half of the total.

As the workers went off work one after another and finished loading the last can, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin stood up and stretched, allowing everyone to take a break.

Although this job is not very demanding, it is still dizzying to sit there all day.

It's time for dinner. Everyone has been busy all day, so dinner will naturally be had at Zheng Yuan's house.

Old Mrs. Chen refused to go.

"You've been tired all day, so just go home and get something to eat. It would take us half a day to go to your place."

As soon as Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other, they knew what to do.

The two men came forward, one on the left and one on the right, to hold Old Mrs. Chen. When the children saw this, they consciously found the nearest member of Old Chen's family and held them tightly to prevent them from leaving.

"Auntie, this won't do. How can you work without getting food? Do you think Yuanbao and I are the wrong people?"

"That's right, mother. If there are many people, we can help each other and it won't be done in a short time. It's more convenient to cook for one family than for two families."

Looking at the two people beside her, Old Mrs. Chen shook her head helplessly. She was always at a loss as to what to do with these two people.

"Let's go, let's go. We can't do anything about you. Hurry up, let's do it together, it will be done in a moment."

After locking the door, everyone went home chatting and laughing.

Suddenly Jiang Chengye began to feel weak. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin knew that someone was here to spy on him again. It was really a ghost that was lingering around.

I'll have to ask Mrs. Chen when I get home about how the thing I inquired about today went.

When they got home, they set up two pots directly. Everyone washed the vegetables and fed the livestock, and soon a simple meal was ready.

While eating, Zheng Yuan asked about the matter that Old Mrs. Chen asked her to ask about.

"You guessed right. The Tian Xizhen family has been watching their off-work hours these past two days, and secretly trying to find out what's going on in the workshop."

"But most people looked down on her family and ignored them. Only two people talked to Tian Xizhen for a while."

"They said that Tian Xizhen and Gong Fuling were just like they had nothing to do. They asked them all sorts of questions and even asked them if they had drunk any water and if they felt unwell."

They are not just sitting there with nothing to do. They are hoping something happens to the workers so they can cause trouble.

"What do the workers say?"

"Don't worry, they remembered your instructions and didn't tell them anything about what happened in the workshop. They just asked if they had any water to drink. Although they felt it was strange, the two of them told them the truth."

"Just say that I drank it once in a while and I didn't feel any discomfort."

"How did Tian Xizhen and Gong Fuling react?" Zheng Yuan was curious and wanted to know how they reacted when they found out that the drug had not taken effect.

"I heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked unhappy after hearing this. They left without saying anything. The other two even said that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking nonsense."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were laughing their asses off. They thought that this family would probably be scratching their heads and not be able to figure out what happened when they get home.

How come Mr. Jiang looks like he is seriously ill, while the villagers who are more likely to be in trouble are full of energy?

"What? Is there any problem?" Seeing Master Jiang laughing with the two men, Old Lady Chen was afraid that something might go wrong with what they were saying.

"It's alright, ma'am. We just laughed at them for working so hard but only achieving half the effect. Now they are probably wondering what went wrong at home."

The others had no idea what they were talking about, and seeing them talking so excitedly, Old Man Chen couldn't help himself.

"What kind of riddle are you talking about? I don't understand a thing."

There is nothing to hide now. Chen Fangyuan and his family have been observing for a few days and seeing that there is no effect yet, they estimate that the next step will be taken in the next two days.

So the two of them told the whole story from beginning to end.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. They didn't expect this family to be so cruel.

"By the way, is there anything wrong with this thing?" The old lady took out a cloth bag from her arms and handed it over.

The cloth bag had a sour and smell, and the few people who had gathered around it out of curiosity immediately dispersed.

"Mom, what is this? It's so smelly and you're still holding it in your arms. Aren't you afraid that it will make you sore?"

"What's so smelly about this? It just smells like kimchi. Come to think of it, this stuff was poured out of a kimchi jar." The old lady didn't think it was that exaggerated.

"Oh? A pickle jar?"

"Yes, it's the kimchi jars. They're working these days, so I don't need to keep an eye on them all the time. I get bored watching them all the time. Today, I saw so many kimchi jars in his kitchen, and I thought I could wash them and use them."

"When I washed one of the small jars, it was very light when I lifted it. I opened it and saw that there was no kimchi inside, only a small cloth bag. I thought I would give it to you when you came over."

"As a result, when you asked me to inquire about this matter, I forgot about it. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that this thing was put in there by Chen Fangping."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin instantly thought of the abnormalities that occurred before Chen Fangping's death and the incident after his death when Chen Fangyuan's family went to his house to search for him.

When they opened the cloth bag, they saw half a piece of cloth and a registration book for buying medicine, with Chen Feihong's name clearly written on it.

Yes, no wonder Chen Fangping was so happy those days, no wonder Chen Fangyuan's family came back to search for him after they attacked him, it was all because of this cloth bag.

It was because Chen Fangping still had some brains that he knew that this thing had to be hidden well, so that the family didn't find it.

But he is not that smart, and perhaps he still desires the family affection that he cannot get, but instead he ends up hurting himself when he has the evidence in his hands.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin sympathized with Chen Fangping from the beginning, but now they felt even more sympathetic towards his wife and children. If he had been more decisive, his wife and children would not have ended up like this.

Jiang Chengye picked up the registration book and told everyone that it showed that Chen Feihong had bought several packets of arsenic last year. The others who were curious about what was inside also suddenly realized.

No wonder, no wonder.

"Second Aunt, I remembered something." After hearing this, Shi Tou suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong? Stone."

"When I was playing with Xiaoliang and the others this morning, Xiaowu insisted on coming to play with us. Xiaoliang and the others didn't want to play with him, so he said that his father would turn into a ghost tonight and come to deal with us."

"I originally thought he was talking nonsense, but after hearing what you said, I feel like they are going to cause trouble in your workshop tonight."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other and thought that Shi Tou was a really smart boy.

"Oh, Stone, you are so smart."

"That's not the case. You have helped us a lot."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin reached out and pinched Shi Tou's tender face at the same time. Shi Tou felt their hands rubbing his face wildly, and his face turned red.

The children at home looked at the two mothers' hands on Shi Tou's face, and their eyes were fixed on Shi Tou for a moment.

Shitou was feeling happy when he suddenly felt a chill on his spine. The looks of these brothers and sisters seemed a little scary.

"Xiaoye, it looks like someone is going to lose their temper tonight. How about we have a ghost hunting show tonight?"

Putting down their hands that were pinching Stone's face, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin's eyes began to light up.
