Chapter 158: Chapter 158: My Lady is Really Nice
“Madam, Madam, what happened? Who is laughing? It sounds too eerie,”
Big Bull rushed out clumsily, asking as he ran, and accidentally bumped into Madam Xie.
“Big Bull, what are you doing?”
“Nothing much! I just heard a chilling laugh and ca out to check.” He had done sothing wrong and was afraid Xuexue would bla him, so he didn’t dare to co out at first. However, the sound of that eerie laughter eventually drove him to act.
“What laughter?” Madam Xie looked confused.
“Just now! It was so loud that it shook the whole house; can’t you hear it?” Big Bull looked puzzled and then added with concern, “Madam, is there sothing wrong with your ears? I’ll take you to see a doctor tomorrow.”
Who knew, Madam Xie glared at him irritably, “If I really were deaf, could I hear you talking? Silly boy.”
Having said that, she turned around and carried the basin with the chicken back to the kitchen, preparing to gut and cook it for dinner; if Old Master Mo wouldn’t eat it, they certainly could.
“Ugh!”
Big Bull scratched his head, also a bit perplexed. She could hear him talking, so why couldn’t she hear soone laughing?
Just then, Xuexue, pulling Chuner, walked in from the main gate.
Big Bull shivered and turned to slip away.
“Big Bull Brother, where are you going?” Chuner’s crisp voice rang out.
“No…nothing! I… I just wanted to see who was laughing.” Big Bull stopped helplessly, his eyes continuously darting around, looking everywhere but directly at Xuexue.
Chuner listened intently and said innocently, “Big Bull Brother, you heard wrong, no one was laughing.”
“Not now, just before, when even the house was shaking. I was afraid it would collapse, so I ca out to check.”
“Can soone’s laugh shake a house to collapse?” Chuner looked puzzled, she had never heard of a laugh that could collapse a house.
“I don’t know, I was just worried. You see our house, it’s so decrepit, it’s hard to say.” Although Big Bull was talking to Chuner, his body was stiff, his gaze was wandering, and he didn’t even glance at Xuexue once.
Just by looking at him, it was clear he had done sothing guiltily.
“Alright, Chuner, go help mother light the fire in the kitchen. Sister has sothing to talk about with Big Bull Brother.” Xuexue gently ruffled Chuner’s hair, speaking softly.
“Okay!”
Chuner agreed with a cheer and bounced off towards the kitchen.
“Madam! What… what do you want to talk… talk about?” Big Bull stamred, filled with regret. Madam had instructed him many tis not to tell Old Master Mo about carrying children on his back, yet he still ssed it up.
“I know all about it, don’t bla yourself, it’s all fate.” Just now, at the entrance, Xuexue learned what had happened from that little ghost called Little Honey Peach.
The affairs concerning Old Money Mo were none of her business anyway, she didn’t care to deal with them, nor would she ask those little ghosts to spare him. Xuexue always believed in the principle of karma; if Old Money Mo hadn’t done sothing to offend the spiritual world, why would he have suffered from several little ghosts for over a decade?
“Huh? Madam, you know.”
“Yes! Let’s leave it at that this ti, but don’t let it happen again, understood?”
“Understood, heh heh…!” Big Bull finally smiled happily. Suddenly, as if rembering sothing, he asked again, “Madam, earlier soone laughed eerily, did you hear it?”
“I heard it, next ti such a thing happens, you only tell , and you must not ask anyone else, understand?”
“Oh!” Big Bull responded, then asked, “Can I tell Madam?”
“No.”
“What about Chuner?”
“No, not allowed.”
“Then…!”
“Hmm?” Xuexue glared.
“Madam, I haven’t said anything yet.” Big Bull’s plaintive voice sounded.
“Alright, you’ll have a chicken leg as a reward tonight.” Xuexue smiled, her lips curling.
“Madam is really great!” Big Bull cheered.
