Chapter 42 How to find out the culprit
Shen Xiaoyu's scalp was numb, but she knew that someone must be pretending to be a ghost. As long as that person didn't break in and threaten them, she would ignore it for the time being.

People outside kept making noises, trying to scare them awake, but Shen Xiaoyu didn't respond.

After about two quarters of an hour, it became quiet.

Shen Xiaoyu pricked up his ears and heard someone walking out of the courtyard, and then there was no movement.

Just in case, Shen Xiaoyu stayed for most of the night before falling asleep.

At dawn, the villagers have already gotten up and started working.

Aunt Li got up early to feed the livestock and went outside the Shen family yard to take a look. She didn't see anything unusual.

Unlike the family I stayed here before, who made a lot of noise in the middle of the night and crazily packed up his bed and ran away at dawn, shouting that there was a ghost.

But she also heard crying last night, vaguely, not very real.

Just like when it was haunted before.

But until daybreak, the Shen family was still calm.

After Shen Xiaoyu got up, he ran into the courtyard and walked around the house. He saw many footprints on the ground under the window. Although they were not very obvious, they had just cleaned them yesterday and the footprints were new.

Who on earth is so bored that he wants to scare them by pretending to be a ghost?No, it should be for people who want to settle here.

While Shen Xiaoyu was thinking about it, Gu Dafu brought two craftsmen to repair the house.

Like Aunt Li, he thought something would happen to the five members of the Shen family, but they all looked energetic and did not look like they were frightened by "ghosts" at all.

"Village Chief, I have listed the places that need to be repaired. Do you need to take a look at it?" Shen Xiaoyu took out a piece of paper, which was densely filled with words, but the numbers one, two, three, four and five were clearly listed.

Gu Dafu took it and took a look. In addition to the visible leaks, Shen Xiaoyu also listed the areas he wanted to renovate.

"Miss Shen, the places you wrote are not broken. It would be a bit difficult to renovate them." Gu Dafu looked embarrassed.

"Doesn't it mean I have to pay for it myself?" Shen Xiaoyu asked bluntly. It's better to ask this kind of question clearly. If it's not expensive and she can afford it, it would be more ideal to do it all at once.

"Hey, that's what I mean. Miss Shen is a reasonable person. I can help you negotiate a reasonable amount. What do you think?" Gu Dafu's attitude was very graceful. "Okay, then please trouble the village chief and try to finish the repairs today as much as possible."

Gu Dafu agreed and left after explaining to the two craftsmen.

While supervising the work, Shen Xiaoyu was thinking about how to find out the culprit.

Shen Youfu and Shen Xiaotao took their little sister to play in the nearby big banyan tree.

Shen Xiaoli went to the hillside behind the house to see the two acres of land allocated to her family. She could see it after crossing the creek and climbing the hillside. Shen Xiaoyu felt free to let her inspect it.

"I'm stopping by to see if there are any wild vegetables to dig!" Shen Xiaoli used to follow adults up and down the mountains and fields when she was very young. She was the best at digging wild vegetables and collecting firewood. Shen Xiaoyu felt relieved to let her go.

The mother and son who were behind the big banyan tree yesterday appeared again chewing sugar cane.

"Are you the new family to our village? Are you still used to living there?" The woman tried to talk to Shen Youfu.

Shen Youfu timidly hid behind Shen Xiaotao.

"Who are you?" Shen Xiaotao thought they were bad guys, so she protected Shen Youfu.

"Little girl, don't be nervous. Is this your father? Is he sick?"

"My dad is not sick!"

"Her father is a fool! Haha!" The children playing nearby pointed at Shen Youfu and laughed.

Shen Xiaotao glared at them with big round eyes.

"Xiao Tao, let's stop playing. Let's go home." Shen Youfu tugged at the hem of her clothes.

"Okay, let's go and stop playing with them!"
