Chapter 61: 67 I'll Haunt You In Your Dream

67 I’ll Haunt You In Your Dream
“Is she crazy? Can she even grow anything on this mountain?”

“She’s definitely one of the dumbest I’ve ever met. Don’t you think Zhao Chuchu is different after the plague? It’s like she’s possessed or something!”

“Hey! Aren’t you afraid she might haunt you at night?”

Zhao Chuchu suddenly turned around and grinned. “That’s right. I’m a ghost now, and I’m going to haunt you at night.”

Although her grin was sweet and pretty, it sent chills down the villagers’ spines.

It was as if she really was a ghost that would suck their souls.

Some of the people who used to bully the original Zhao Chuchu quickly ran away after that.

She noticed that, and her grin turned into a mocking laugh.

Old Mrs. Chen, following behind them, couldn’t help but scold, “What are you guys even mumbling about? Did you guys forget who’s the one who helped cure the plague? If she’s a ghost, she could’ve just waited until you die and taken your souls, you ungrateful bastards! God will definitely punish you for this!”

Those people didn’t dare to argue back because they were scared of Zhao Chuchu.

Looking at the tiny and greyed-hair woman fighting for her, Zhao Chuchu felt warmth in her heart.

She realized that there were still many kind-hearted people and that not everyone was evil.

“Don’t mind them. They can say whatever they want.” Zhao Chuchu quickly helped Old Mrs. Chen up the hill.

The old woman took the chance to ask, “Why did you suddenly want to buy this mountain? There’s nothing you can plan here. It’s going to take a lot to plow the land. How long will it take before you can earn from this mountain? You only get free taxes for the first three years.”

“I know what I’m doing.” Zhao Chuchu did not want to explain.

She had already confirmed that the mountain was suitable enough to grow root plants.

Seeing how confident Zhao Chuchu was, Old Mrs. Chen let out a sigh and didn’t persuade the lady anymore.

“Grandma Chen, I’ll need you to help me prepare lunch again today. I’ll have to treat the officials to a meal before he leaves.”

“Leave it to me!”

Zhao Chuchu then took out a piece of silver from her purse. “Can you help me buy some chicken and duck? And see if you can get a fish from the neighbors. Buy some greens too.”

A chicken and a duck cost around 200 cents each, while the fish was around 40 cents per kilogram. The greens were cheap, and they could usually get a lot for a few cents.

A piece of silver was more than enough to make a feast.

Old Mrs. Chen took the silver. “Don’t spend money at places you don’t need to,” she urged before leaving. “There’s really not much to gain from this mountain.”

Zhao Chuchu nodded, but she had already made up her mind.

The mountain wasn’t tall and was more like a hill when compared to the other mountains that surrounded the village.

The officials knew that Zhao Chuchu was the one who cured the plague, and it only took them a couple of hours to finish their job. It was clear that they were trying to get on her good side.

“I’ve prepared lunch. Why don’t you eat first before leaving?” Zhao Chuchu invited the officials.

“You don’t have to.”

“It’ll take four hours for you to get back to the town. There’s no way I can let you guys leave with an empty stomach. The food is already made. We won’t be able to finish it ourselves.”

“She’s right. There’s still time before you need to go back and submit the report.” Niu Tongsheng joined in.

The officials looked at each other and eventually nodded. The truth was that they were also hungry from all the hiking.

When they passed by the Zhao clan’s house, not a single window was opened, and none of them dared to come out and mess with Zhao Chuchu.

They were all afraid that she would hand the confession letter to the officials.
