Several people arrived at Teacher Hu’s home.
As soon as they entered, a black and white photograph was hanging on the wall.
The old man in the photo bore a strong resemblance to Teacher Hu; it was Teacher Hu’s deceased father.
“Teacher Hu, this is all my fault. I misunderstood.”
“I’ll take responsibility for the elderly lady’s injuries, and it’s not Teacher Chu’s fault either.”
Zhao Nan said guiltily, full of self-reproach.
The old lady had also regained consciousness. Her injuries were not severe; she had merely lost a few teeth from her dentures after being hit.
“Teacher Zhao, what are you all trying to do? What’s with all this commotion? Did my mother provoke you or something?”
Teacher Hu questioned as he applied medicine to his mother.
He was a colleague of Zhao Nan from the same department and their downstairs neighbor. He had a good impression of Zhao Nan, and given Zhao Nan’s personality, he shouldn't have been so barbaric! m..oΓg
Zhao Nan felt too ashamed to explain.
Chen Xuerou had to step in as spokesperson and explained the entire situation.
“You thought my mother had passed away, and today, on the seventh day after her death, her spirit returned, and that’s what you thought?”
Teacher Hu was stunned.
He had never expected such a reason.
“Teacher Hu, it’s not Nan Nan’s fault. She was greeting the elderly lady, and since the lady kept not speaking, it felt very strange.”
Chen Xuerou said awkwardly.
“Teacher Chen, my father passed away, and my mother was so stimulated. Isn’t it normal that she didn’t want to speak?”
Teacher Hu’s words left them speechless.
In essence, it was all a matter of coincidence.
“And Teacher Chu, what’s wrong with your brain?”
“They thought there was a ghost, and you also believe in ghosts and spirits?”
Teacher Hu glared coldly at Chu Huairen.
Chu Huairen chuckled dryly, “Teacher Hu, I didn’t believe it. I thought someone was impersonating a ghost to scare them. How could I have known our mother was being wronged?”
“Teacher Zhao, you should ask for clarification next time!”
“You’ve almost killed me!”
“Also, don’t always believe in superstitious nonsense in the future. There are no ghosts or monsters!”
Chu Huairen immediately shifted the blame.
“Get out! I don’t want to see you. You can leave now!”
Zhao Nan glared furiously at Chu Huairen. He had hit someone, and now he was blaming her.
How could this guy be so shameless!
“Fine, I’m leaving. I have things to do at home.”
Chu Huairen was already looking for an excuse to leave. He felt as if he had been granted amnesty and got up to go.
However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw an old man with a deathly pale face.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong? Are you also impersonating a ghost to scare people?”
Chu Huairen asked with a mocking smile.
“Young man, you’re blocking my way. I’m going home to see my wife. This is my home!”
The old man pointed to the door.
“Your home?”
Chu Huairen looked closely at the old man, and his mind suddenly went blank.
Because this old man was none other than the person in the black and white photograph!
“Ah! A ghost!”
Chu Huairen collapsed onto the ground with a thud, his hair standing on end from fright.
Without time to think, he frantically pounded on the door.
“Teacher Hu, open the door quickly! Your father is back!”
“It’s so terrifying, open the door quickly, quick, quick!”
Chu Huairen was on the verge of tears, enveloped by an aura of dread.
The door opened, and they saw Chu Huairen slumped on the ground, wailing and shouting.
“Are you crazy? Aren’t you an atheist? Why are you shouting about ghosts?”
Teacher Hu said angrily.
“No, it’s him, your father is back.”
Chu Huairen trembled, pointing behind him.
However, there was no one there.
Teacher Hu forced a smile, “Teacher Zhao, Teacher Chen, you should go back first. I won’t blame you for today’s events. I’ll settle this with that Chu fellow.”
“Alright, go easy on him later, don’t beat him to death.”
Chen Xuerou cast a sympathetic glance at Chu Huairen and pulled Zhao Nan away.
“Teacher Hu, Teacher Zhao, I was telling the truth! His deceased father really came back!”
Chu Huairen explained desperately.
Zhao Nan and Chen Xuerou didn’t believe him at all.
Even Lin Feng found it amusing.
“My father is back, is he? Fine, go and accompany him then!”
After Zhao Nan and the others left, Teacher Hu kicked Chu Huairen over.
Then, with a bang, he closed the door.
“Don’t leave me behind, open the door! There’s really a ghost!”
Chu Huairen ignored the pain. He was completely consumed by terror.
“Young man, my son wants you to come down and keep me company. How about you come with me?”
The old man suddenly appeared before Chu Huairen, grabbed his thigh, and started dragging him downstairs.
“Grandpa, I’m still young. I can’t go down with you.”
“Don’t you miss your wife? Take your wife away, but don’t take me!”
Chu Huairen’s smile was more hideous than a cry. Unable to withstand the immense shock, he suddenly fainted.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, Chen Xuerou, and Zhao Nan returned home.
Chen Xuerou and Zhao Nan were no longer afraid, as it had all turned out to be a misunderstanding born from their own overthinking.
“Alright, since everything is cleared up, I’ll be going now. You two get some good sleep.”
Lin Feng said, picking up the gift Zhao Nan had bought for Hua Yu, and then he left.
However, when he reached the ground floor, he saw Chu Huairen lying sprawled on the lawn.
Foam was coming from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were wide open.
As if greatly frightened, he lay on the ground, twitching.
“Teacher Hu really hit him hard, but you deserve it!”
Lin Feng ignored Chu Huairen, thinking that such a person deserved a beating.
He returned to the small building. Hua Yu was in the room preparing her lessons, clearly ready to start her tutoring.
“This is for you.”
Lin Feng knocked on the door and handed Hua Yu the phone Zhao Nan had bought for her.
“Did you buy this for me?”
Upon receiving the gift, Hua Yu was taken aback.
“Teacher Zhao said your phone was too slow, so a new phone would be good.”
Lin Feng replied.
“Lin Feng, why are you being so good to me? You…”
Hua Yu held the new phone, unsure of what to say.
Lin Feng had only earned a hundred yuan by selling blood during the day. How much blood would he have to sell for this new phone?
“What does it have to do with me? You do your work. I’m going to practice my skills.”
Lin Feng found it amusing. The phone wasn’t from him, so why was Hua Yu so emotional?
Hua Yu had no idea it was Zhao Nan who bought it. She thought Lin Feng had bought it for her.
“Okay, regardless, I will make it up to you. I didn’t understand you before, but I will get to know you anew from now on.”
Hua Yu said earnestly.
“As you wish.”
Lin Feng ignored Hua Yu. He went into the courtyard and began his cultivation.
This time, new prompts appeared in his mind.
