Chapter 1155 What to do when you encounter such a neighbor 42
Ah-Zhu was also quite surprised to witness this scene.
Come to think of it, when I transmigrated into the bodies of the two clients before, I didn't encounter these kinds of things.
Azhen pondered to herself, could it be that the rules had changed during this period? After all, the world is not static, and evolution is normal.
It's also possible that not every spirit has the opportunity to appear here; there are probably some conditions, but it shouldn't be a matter of money.
Azhen noticed the old woman, and as time passed, her figure became increasingly faint.
It seems there's still a time limit.
“Mr. Xu.” A-Zhen coughed lightly, deciding to start from this moment, “If you go back to your hometown this week, you might as well burn some paper money for the deceased elders in your family.”
When she said this, the old lady in the corner's eyes lit up, and she nodded frantically. She even jumped around Ah Lang and circled around, as if trying to confirm something, but Ah Lang pretended not to see it.
Xu Jun asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
“Burn some paper money for your deceased elders. If I’m not mistaken, you probably rarely burn paper money, thinking it’s useless. If you believe me, burn the paper money sincerely, and you’ll understand in a few days,” A-Zhen said.
Xu Jun was completely baffled, but then he immediately thought of his mother.
When he started his business, his mother fully supported him and even came to the company to cook for him.
His company had finally started to take off, but then his mother passed away, which was his biggest regret. So, he would go back to his hometown every week, buy all sorts of nice things, and renovate his old house beautifully.
As for paper money and such, he felt they were useless and didn't pay much attention to them.
Why is Yi Huan acting so strangely today? The company is only so big, of course he knows what kind of personality Yi Huan has.
That's why the other person's sudden remark, which also involved his mother, forced him to think deeply.
Could it be that Yi Huan actually knows a little about certain things?
If it were someone else, he probably wouldn't care too much, but the other person mentioned his mother.
"Yi Huan, do you know anything about that kind of thing?" Xu Jun asked.
"I know a little," Azhen said, "but it's usually not very useful. This time, it was just a coincidence that I reminded President Xu."
The main reason is that Xu Jun is a genuinely good person. When the client's mother was seriously ill, he knew she was in trouble and offered her support, relieving her immediate crisis. Otherwise, the client wouldn't have known what to do during that time.
The client knew he had some skills; otherwise, he might have been willing to work hard under this honest and trustworthy boss.
"What do you know?" Xu Jun asked, his expression becoming more serious.
A-Zhen said, "The old lady must be short of money."
"Yes, yes, yes, this old woman is really short of money." The old lady next to her cheered and spun around in front of Azhen. "Girl, just tell me, can you see me? Do you have the ability to see ghosts? Speaking of which, there have been some changes in the rules recently, which is why I was able to come here. I thought I could talk to my son about my lack of money, but I can't even say hello."
The old woman's voice lowered: "There's no point in coming here like this."
"But this kid is alright, I guess."
Ah Zhen understood; it seemed there really was a change in the rules.
Xu Jun was stunned for a moment, but seeing Azhen's serious expression, he couldn't help but believe her. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this once. I'll go back to my hometown this afternoon and burn some money for my mother."
Today happens to be Friday. "Mr. Xu, you must be sincere," A-Zhen reminded him.
Xu Jun increasingly felt that this made sense, and nodded: "Of course, I am sincere towards my mother."
A-Zhu didn't doubt it, but just wanted to remind the other party to be careful.
All day long, Xu Jun kept thinking about the old lady's possible lack of money. Just thinking about it made him unable to hold back his tears in his office.
When A-Lan left the office, the old lady followed her and kept talking to her.
Once she was sure no one was around, A-Zhen said, "Grandma, stop jumping. I can definitely see you, and just as you guessed, I heard you talking about not having money, which is why I reminded Mr. Xu. It's mainly because Mr. Xu is a nice person, so this is to repay a favor to him."
The old lady finally stopped and kept thanking Azhen.
“My Xiaojun is indeed a good-natured boy. He was a model student in school, praised by everyone. He wouldn’t do anything bad. If he did something wrong, the company would definitely be much bigger than it is now,” the old lady said. “I know everything. I’ve seen it all, so many things. My Xiaojun has a conscience. There are even people who want to harm him, but he has benefactors to help him…”
"Next time I have money, I have to tell Xiaojun in a dream that people must never lose their conscience. In this world, those who lose their conscience will only be assigned to the most desolate place in the underworld after they die. They will never be able to reach the center of the underworld in their entire lives. It's so sad. It's much sadder over there than here."
The old lady kept rambling on and on, and Ah-Zhu learned quite a lot more about her.
"While you're alive, never do anything bad, never lose your conscience... Otherwise, when you get over there, it will be so hard, so incredibly hard, with no hope of ever getting ahead, and you'll have to endure it for a very, very long time... You'll never get ahead, you'll never get ahead."
The old lady's time had probably come, and her figure disappeared from Azhen's sight.
Azhen seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that the setting of this world was very special and was still evolving.
That afternoon, Xu Jun, the company boss, made sure there was nothing important, so he left the company before 5 p.m. and drove directly back to his hometown. He also stuffed a lot of paper money into the trunk, which his assistant had previously arranged to buy.
Before dark, I arrived at my hometown and immediately took the paper money to the old lady's grave.
After Ah-Zhen got off work, she returned to her neighborhood.
She saw the elevator standing there, which blocked half of the balcony outside her living room.
She could vaguely hear a commotion ahead, and she quickly walked over. Sure enough, it was Yi Shulan arguing with her neighbor in the same building.
"It was agreed when we signed the contract that the elevator would be installed in a different location than this one. Why have you changed your mind now?" Yi Shulan's voice was filled with anger. "Now you've blocked half of my living room window. The lighting was already poor; how can anyone live like this?"
"Zhou Guifeng, Cheng Guangming, you two were the ones who came to me to discuss this matter. Everything was agreed upon back then, so don't go back on your word." She looked at the two people in the crowd. "Now, you have to give me an explanation, or you can remove the elevator. How are we supposed to live here with it blocking our way?"
“It can’t be dismantled, how can it be dismantled? Since the elevator is installed this way, it can only be installed this way.” Someone in the crowd spoke up.
"Yes, they're all installed. How can we take them down? Doesn't it cost money to take them down? Will you compensate us for our loss?"
"Since it's about installing an elevator, it's a special case that needs to be handled specially. It's not like it's blocked off completely. Where can't people live?"
"If you don't like it, then don't buy the first floor in the first place."
"You really think you're entitled to live on the first floor just because you do?"
I'll still be a little late today (facepalm) ε(><)з
