Chapter 1158 What to do when you encounter such a neighbor 45
“I do have an idea, it’s a little bit mischievous,” Azhen said, completely piquing Yi Shulan’s curiosity. She forgot her anger and was eager to know what the idea was.
If all the neighbors I've known for decades are like this, it's better to be a little sarcastic.
She knew her daughter well, and the solution she came up with could never violate any laws or regulations, so she had nothing to worry about.
Azhen looked Yi Shulan up and down. Seeing how anxious the other was, she didn't delay any longer: "After doing this, Mom, if you can accept it, you can continue to live here; if you can't, then move somewhere else. Besides, I don't think there's any need to continue living in this neighborhood."
"My method is not only a bit of a loss, but it can also generate income for our family."
Yi Shulan was a little shocked. So, what exactly is this method? It's very underhanded, yet it can still generate revenue.
“We’ll make some minor renovations to our home and temporarily store ashes for people. They’ll pay a small monthly rent, and we can visit the deceased whenever we have time, just like visiting relatives during holidays. Our area has convenient transportation, and we can even catch the last subway train.”
“Grave plots are so expensive these days. Wouldn’t it be perfect to put those who can’t afford them here? This house is a bit lacking in facilities, but the location is pretty good.”
Yi Shulan's anger completely dissipated, but she was still held firmly in place.
Honestly, even if I had beaten her to death before, she wouldn't have come up with such a terrible idea, let alone that her honest and simple daughter could come up with such a wicked scheme.
To be honest, although it was a bit of a rip-off, it didn't actually violate any laws. Just like how they acted first and then informed each other, and there was no written agreement between them, no one can do anything about it.
About half a minute later, Yi Shulan suddenly slapped her thigh and then burst into laughter without any restraint, clearly having thought of something that amused her.
At this moment, she had a strange feeling, as if the resentment in her heart had truly dissipated a lot.
Just thinking about how the neighbors would react after she did this made her want to jump around.
If the old man were here, how wonderful that would be! They would surely hug each other and laugh heartily. But if the old man were here, she might not have signed so easily.
She knows she has a soft heart, and her life has been smooth sailing for most of her life. She has never made a wrong move when making decisions, which is actually because she has someone by her side who always considers everything comprehensively.
“They want an elevator, and we’re affected by that. It’s only natural for us to find a way out,” Azhen added. “We’re free to place our ashes in our own homes, and that’s none of their business. Even if it gets online, it’ll just be a joke that makes people laugh. Even if they’re pitiful, they already have an elevator, and we’re just doing this out of necessity. At that point, public opinion won’t be on their side.”
Yi Shulan's eyes lit up as she listened. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this trick was really wicked, but also very effective.
Although she hadn't seen all of her neighbors' true colors—for example, she'd only witnessed their true colors today—she still knew a bit about their general temperaments. She knew they would be furious if they found out about this.
Of course, most people would probably be very averse to this.
Yi Shulan couldn't help but laugh again: "Okay, let's do it this way."
She may have hurt herself a bit, but she only kept it at home and wasn't going out to harm anyone. Let them experience the frustration she felt today.
“Okay, I’ll contact the customer right away and get the house set up today. We’ll clear out that guest room for this. I’m not afraid of these things, and I don’t mind them. I’m planning to stay here. Mom, if you can’t stand it, you can stay somewhere else for now,” A-Zhen said. Yi Shulan was indeed kind and compassionate, but she wasn’t stupid. She knew right from wrong and listened to the advice of those around her. If she were truly the kind of person who would blindly help, yield to, and tolerate anyone, even with the client’s father, Lin Dongquan, around, her life wouldn’t have been smooth sailing for most of the time.
"In addition, I also want to do some side work." Azhen suddenly changed the subject. Before this, she had already communicated with the client about the industry she would choose for the client. After listening to her description, the client actually agreed very happily and said that she was not afraid at all.
After listening to Azhen's analysis, she felt that this profession was perfect for her.
Most importantly, as Azhen said, this world has its own unique characteristics. No matter how it evolves, the spirits left behind by the dead cannot have any physical impact on the world of the living.
Then what is she afraid of?
The biggest challenge is simply overcoming one's own inner demons.
Having experienced so much in her past life, she felt there was nothing to be afraid of.
Even though those spirits that pose no harm to the living are everywhere, they are not as harmful as the harm these living people have caused to the mother and daughter.
She was even happier when she learned that her father existed as a spirit.
"What side hustle?" Yi Shulan asked, momentarily unable to respond.
Ah-Jun said, "It's about services for the deceased, and I believe many people need this service."
“For example, if someone suddenly passes away and can no longer tell their family about the money they hid, their password, or other things, I can act as a medium between them to help them communicate,” A-Zhou said. She was about to explain why she was in this industry when Yi Shulan grabbed her arm first.
“Huanhuan, let’s not talk about that dirty trick. It was a last resort, but we can’t do things that deceive people! They’ve already lost their loved ones, and I can’t bear to deceive them again.” Yi Shulan said nervously. “Besides, it’s illegal. Most importantly, we can’t do such things.”
Azhen reassured her, "Mom, you're overthinking it. I really am just acting as a mediator to help them communicate; I'm not lying."
"Dad didn't show up today. If he were here, I could pass on a message for you." Azhen's last sentence left Yi Shulan stunned. What did he mean?
When the client agreed to work in this industry, it was destined that Yi Shulan would know about it.
Moreover, according to her speculation, the client was a blessed person with a good family. Even when they were no longer in this world, they would be doing well in the underworld... probably quite well.
When the client returns, she will only need to do one more thing: open their third eye.
The spirits in this world have no offensive capabilities and there is absolutely no need to learn those spells.
Besides, the rules themselves wouldn't allow magic to exist.
She was able to use it before only because she was the one using this minor spell; her power didn't rely on this world, nor was it born from this world. As long as she didn't do anything significant, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't react.
Perhaps her appearance is a good thing for the world?
