"Village chief, I get scared passing by that wasteland at night, afraid that vengeful spirits will jump out."
One of the younger hires chickened out.
"What's there to be scared of? As the saying goes, every debt has its debtor. You said it's a vengeful spirit; naturally, it seeks its own enemy. Have you ever seen it go after anyone else all these years? Besides, haven't the Liu Family been living here for so long without any incidents? On top of that, life's been getting better and better for them. Jingzhe was the first child student in the village, and Aunt Dajiao opened the first shop in the village." Liu Tieshan spat on the ground and said, "It shows even spirits know who their enemies are and who's a neighbor. They're good neighbors too."
Tong Huaqiong twitched at the corner of her mouth.
"Those fears are just in your head. If you haven't done anything bad, what's there to fear about ghosts knocking on your door at midnight?"
