Chapter 1062: Chapter 1056: The Forgotten Thing_1 Chapter 1062: Chapter 1056: The Forgotten Thing_1 “Did you bring her back from the disaster area? What about her family, why is she the only one left?” As soon as Qin Yu heard she was a postpartum woman, he knew it must be a tragic situation.

“Her experience is quite pitiful. She was kidnapped and taken there. Unfortunately, a fallen beam crushed her leg. The incident caused her to go into labor, so I brought her back, thinking that later I would take her to the Imperial Capital for work.” Qin Xue answered her brother’s question.

“How are you planning to take care of them?” Qin Yu saw his sister’s demeanor and knew she must have not figured out a place yet. Despite this, she dared to bring people back directly, he was really speechless about her.

“When I went out the other day, I saw a house not far from our house with its door locked. Is it unoccupied?” Qin Xue asked her brother.

“It is vacant. What about it? Are you interested in that house?” Qin Yu asked his sister.

“Yes, I have taken a liking to it. But I don’t know how to get the key, so you have to help me.” Qin Xue indeed had her sights set on it. Do you think she just brought people back without any planning beforehand? That’s impossible.

“But that house is in a poor state.” Qin Yu took a moment before finally speaking.

“Why?” Qin Xue didn’t know what was wrong with that place. Aren’t all houses in the village the same? They’re all not very good, just mud brick houses, all identical. What’s wrong with it?

“Well, originally, it was a widowed old man from our village who lived there, but after he died the house became vacant. Since he had no family, the house passed to the village after his death.

There were villagers who wanted to buy the house, but it’s said that at night the house is haunted. People always hear noises but see no one. After a few people experienced this, no one dared to live there, so it became a haunted house.” Qin Yu explained; it was because everyone was scared.

Although in these years, practices like superstition have been discouraged, human hearts are the most unpredictable. Everyone has a little bit of misgiving in their hearts, hence they are all terrified and dare not live there. The village chief had no choice but to leave it vacant.

“Xiao Yu, you mean the house only makes noises, but no one has ever seen a person there, right?” Qin Xue asked.

“Yes, that’s right. Why do you ask?” Qin Yu wasn’t sure what his sister means by asking this, he simply answered her question.

“Then how much do you think it would cost to buy the house?” Qin Xue burst into laughter after hearing this.

“Sis, why would you want to buy such an ominous place?” Qin Yu was startled by what he heard, questioning whether his sister was under some evil influence.

“Of course, it’s for my use. Just tell me how much it would cost.” Qin Xue didn’t care what her brother thought. She just wanted that place now.

“Previously someone bought it for about US$ 100. Dad, the house where the old lady used to live, was it sold for US$ 100?” Qin Yu heard this from other people, as he didn’t witness it himself, so he asked his father for confirmation.

“Yes, that’s correct. Why do you ask?” Qin Lei was a bit distant from the siblings and didn’t hear their conversation. But he responded when he heard his son’s question.

“It’s nothing, my sister said she wants to buy that house.” Qin Yu’s statement nearly frightened Qin Lei. They had their own place to live and it was spacious. What was the use of buying it? That place was considered strange by the villagers.

“Qin Xue, are you joking?” Qin Lei looked at his daughter, hoping she would say yes. However, much to his disappointment, Qin Xue nodded affirmatively.
