Chapter 227 Someone is really playing tricks
After seeing off Mr. Bai, Gu Chan and the other three returned to Liu Heimei's lumber shop.
As soon as the four of them returned to the shop, Liu Heimei came up and asked, "How is it?"
"I bought it for three thousand taels of silver," said Gu Chan.
"This old Bai! He's so bold to ask for a price! No one wanted his haunted house at three hundred taels, yet he dared to ask for three thousand taels. You've really been cheated by him." Liu Heimei cursed angrily, feeling sorry for Gu Chan.
Gu Chan smiled faintly and said, "He only asked for two thousand taels, and I gave him an extra thousand taels. After all, he is old and has no children, so this money can be regarded as his retirement allowance."
"You are just kind. Let me tell you, don't be too kind in Zhongyuan City. Be careful that your kindness may not be rewarded." Liu Heimei gave a kind reminder.
Gu Chan kept her words in mind, but did not say much. She just changed the subject and said, "Okay, boss lady, prepare some good wood for me. We have to start repairing the building today and move in tonight."
"Okay! Then you just be careful at night." Liu Heimei said worriedly.
Gu Chan nodded quietly, then she led everyone out of the shop and headed towards the haunted house in front.
Along the way, Zhou Dachuan and the others were all worried and nervous, but Gu Chan, on the other hand, looked relaxed.
In her opinion, she had made a good deal by spending three thousand taels to buy such a large piece of land, which also came with a large yard and a four-story building. As for whether the house was haunted or not, she would know after moving in and checking it out.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan didn't care anymore.
After a while, everyone arrived at the haunted house. Because they would be staying there that night, even though they were scared, they still mustered up the courage to clean and tidy up.
More than an hour later, Liu Heimei personally brought a cartload of high-quality wood, and bravely stepped into the haunted house, directing her carpenters to help Gu Chan repair the house.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.
There are more than fifty people here at Gu Chan's place, plus the dozen or so people brought by Liu Heimei, a total of more than seventy people. Everyone is working together to renovate the house, and the progress is very fast.
By the time the sun is about to set, the houses have basically been repaired and are ready for people to live in.
Liu Heimei pulled Gu Chan and said, "Manager Gu, today we can only temporarily repair the house like this. You can stay here tonight. If everything is ok, I will bring people to help you repair the house tomorrow."
"Thank you so much, boss lady." Gu Chan said gratefully.
"No need to thank me. I've received your money. This is what I should do. Anyway, after two or three days of repairs, this building will be basically fine. But I'm still worried about you. I don't know if you can live here for two or three days!" Liu Heimei said with a worried look on her face.
Gu Chan smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'm strong, I'm not afraid."
"Okay, you guys be careful, I'll leave first." Liu Heimei said with a smile.
After saying this, she fled quickly with a dozen carpenters she brought with her.
Gu Chan didn't care, but waved her hand and ordered, "Everyone stay here temporarily tonight, find a room for each of you to live in. In order to prevent everyone from being scared at night, during the first three days of moving in, light oil lamps upstairs and everywhere, and hang lanterns outside every night to illuminate the whole building."
"Yes, boss." Everyone responded in unison and immediately did as she instructed.
Soon the whole building was lit with oil lamps and lanterns were hung, making it bright everywhere inside and outside the building, which more than dissipated the fear in everyone's hearts.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Gu Chan was sitting alone in the lobby, drinking tea quietly. At this time, Ouyang Wan'er came down with a cloak, put it on Gu Chan, and said softly in her ear, "Husband, it's cold at night, don't catch a cold."
"Go to bed soon! I'll stay here for one night. I want to see what kind of ghost is causing trouble here." Gu Chan said softly.
Ouyang Wan'er shook her head, walked to sit next to him, tilted her head and leaned on his chest, saying affectionately, "I want to accompany you. You are my husband, and I am afraid that something will happen to you."
"..."Gu Chan.
Dry!
The two women were being so affectionate and silent, she really couldn't stand it!
However, Ouyang Wan'er was so nice to her that she felt embarrassed to refuse. But if she continued like this, she was afraid that this girl would do anything to her.
Gu Chan quickly reached out to help Ouyang Wan'er sit up straight and changed the subject, "By the way, how is your research on menstrual pads going?"
"I was just about to tell you about this!" Ouyang Wan'er said happily.
Then she reached into her pocket, took out a menstrual napkin that she had modified, and handed it to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan took it and looked at it carefully, and found that after Ouyang Wan'er's improvement, the menstrual napkin became thinner. In order to make it stick to the waistband of pants, Ouyang Wan'er also brushed sticky dog-skin plaster on the small wings on both sides and pasted them with oil paper. It completely meets the standards of modern sanitary napkins!
Seeing Gu Chan's smile, Ouyang Wan'er explained, "This dog-skin plaster is harmless to humans. It's good to stick it on your trousers. I've tried it and it's easy to wash off by soaking it in hot water. I also made it thinner and filled it with highly absorbent cotton. It's very useful."
"Have you tried it yourself?" Gu Chan asked.
"Well! I just got my period the day before yesterday." Ouyang Wan'er said with her head lowered and a blushing face.
Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction.
Since Ouyang Wan'er tried it herself and found it useful, she can use it in the future! This way, she won't have to feel uncomfortable with the menstrual stick anymore. This thing is more comfortable to use.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan made a decision without saying anything, "Well, let's live here for three days first. After three days, when we are sure there is no problem and the whole building is repaired, we will start mass production of menstrual pads."
"Yes! I will listen to you, my husband." Ouyang Wan'er said happily.
"Huhuhu..."
As soon as she finished speaking, strange whistling sounds suddenly rang out throughout the building.
The next second, all the oil lamps inside and outside the building were extinguished in an instant.
"Ah...husband, I'm scared..." Ouyang Wan'er screamed in fright and quickly jumped into Gu Chan's arms. She was like a frightened little white rabbit and was held tightly by Gu Chan.
Gu Chan's first reaction was not fear. Instead, she felt that Ouyang Wan'er was soft and comfortable in her arms.
But just as she was thinking this, a cloud of white smoke suddenly blew in from outside the yard and soon filled the entire building.
Ouyang Wan'er just inhaled a puff of white smoke, then immediately closed her eyes and fainted in Gu Chan's arms.
"Hmph! Miyan, someone is indeed playing tricks on me. Trying to trick me like this, eh?" Gu Chan curled her lips in a smile, saying secretly in her heart.
Then she immediately and secretly mobilized the spiritual energy in her body to seal her mouth and nose, but on the surface she pretended to be knocked unconscious by the smoke, and fell unconscious on the chair while holding Ouyang Wan'er.
