Chapter 0050: Knocking on the Door
I opened the door and saw two women, Wang Ruoyu and Zhu Xiaomei, standing outside the door with terrified looks on their faces.
"What's wrong?" I asked, yawning.
"You can still sleep?" Wang Ruoyu shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear the strange knocking on the door just now?"
I said I heard it, I was woken up by you knocking on the door.
Zhu Xiaomei quickly said: "No, we were just sleeping in the room, but suddenly someone knocked on our door!"
"That's right, the noise was so loud, didn't you hear it?" Wang Ruoyu also said.
The two women talked at once, and I finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that after I went back to my room to sleep, the two of them sat in the room at first, but then they were really sleepy, so they slept on the bed together.
But before they could fall asleep, they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, with a "bang".
At first, the two thought it was me, so Zhu Xiaomei called out a few times, but no one answered from outside.
Zhu Xiaomei was worried about his brother and was afraid that the Wang family might come secretly to poach him in the middle of the night, so he got up and opened the door to check.
After I opened it, I found it was late at night and dark outside, with nothing there.
The two went back to bed and went back to sleep, but not long after, there were two knocks on the door.
This time they both heard it clearly. Wang Ruoyu immediately got furious and said that it must be the brat next door who was causing trouble. She jumped off the bed without even putting on her shoes and rushed over to open the door in two or three steps.
But when I opened the door, there was nothing outside.
She didn't give up and even went to my room to check. When she saw that my door was closed, she went back to her room in disappointment.
After all this, both of them were completely sleepless and lay in bed with their eyes open.
Soon, there was another knock on the door, this time it went on for three times.
Wang Ruoyu Teng got up and rushed out, but when he opened the door, there was no one there.
This time even Wang Ruoyu started to get a little scared, and Zhu Xiaomei turned pale with fright, so the two of them quickly ran over and knocked on our door.
"It really wasn't you who did this?" Wang Ruoyu stared at me.
I was also a little speechless, "Big sister, am I really that boring?"
The two women didn't dare to go back, so they just stayed in my room, turned on both lights in the room, and each occupied a bench.
I was still feeling sleepy, so I let them do whatever they wanted and I lay back on the bed yawning.
Not long after falling asleep, I heard Zhu Xiaomei say in a serious tone: "Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you!"
Wang Ruoyu was a little absent-minded and asked her to ask.
Then I heard Zhu Xiaomei's voice saying, "Sister-in-law, I miss you, why did you give my brother this amulet?"
When I heard this, my mind became a little clearer. I opened my eyes and looked over. I saw Zhu Xiaomei holding the jade token in her hand, staring at Wang Ruoyu with a bad look.
Wang Ruoyu, who was sitting opposite her, looked confused. "What is this? When did I ever give your brother anything?"
Zhu Xiaomei immediately became angry and shouted, "My brother told me this himself. He said it was a gift from you. Do you know how happy he was at that time?"
"It's incomprehensible!" Wang Ruoyu was also annoyed, "I usually don't even talk to Zhu Shouwen, why should I give him something?"
Zhu Xiaomei's face flushed red, and she said angrily: "Since you married my brother, you are still husband and wife. Why did you treat him like this? Are all members of the Wang family so vicious!"
Wang Ruoyu got angry when she accused him, "What right do you have to say that to me? You keep saying he's your brother, but have you ever thought about me? If it were you, what would you do if someone forced a man you didn't even know on you?"
Zhu Xiaomei was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by her. She was silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "So you have always hated my brother. You gave him this jade token just to kill him, right?"
Wang Ruoyu was stunned by what she said, and then he flew into a rage, "Are you sick? Yes, I hate your brother very much, and I feel uncomfortable when I think of him! But am I such a person who can't tell right from wrong? This matter has nothing to do with him, why would I harm him?"
"Then why did you give my brother this piece of jade for no reason?" Zhu Xiaomei stared at her and asked.
Wang Ruoyu was so angry that he laughed, "I've already told you that the jade wasn't given by me, you don't understand or what? Besides, how could a piece of broken jade harm your brother? Your brother drowned, have you been possessed by that little charlatan?"
I didn't expect that the quarrel between these two women would actually affect me. I was really shot even when I was lying down.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door three times.
The two women were so frightened that they immediately shut up and looked towards the door in horror.
Then there was another "bang" sound, as if someone outside had knocked on the door very hard. It sounded particularly creepy in the dead of night.
Wang Ruoyu winked at me. I climbed up from the bed, opened the door and looked out. A gust of night wind blew in my face, and it was chilly. But the place was empty. I didn't see anyone or any small animals.
The two women also ran over and looked outside, but didn't see anything.
This time they simply left the door open, and gusts of cold wind blew in. The two women shrank and shivered.
Zhu Xiaomei suddenly murmured, "Is this...is this a ghost knocking on the door?"
Wang Ruoyu's face turned pale and he scolded her, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Zhu Xiaomei snorted and said, "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. What are you afraid of ? Maybe it's my brother knocking on our door."
"Who said I'm scared? I told you to stop playing tricks!" Wang Ruoyu said angrily, but his face was filled with fear.
My ears were buzzing from the noise. Although these two women were more beautiful than each other, when they quarreled, they were no different from ordinary women, sarcastic and chattering.
Zhu Xiaomei sneered: "If you hadn't harmed my brother, what would you be afraid of?"
Wang Ruoyu was so angry that he swore on the spot, "If I harm Zhu Shouwen, I, Wang Ruoyu, will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death, right?"
Seeing her say this, Zhu Xiaomei was also puzzled, "This jade is really not given by you?"
“I’ve told you so many times, this wasn’t given by me!” Wang Ruoyu said angrily, “This broken jade…”
When she said this, she suddenly paused, frowned and said, "Why does it seem... this jade looks a little familiar..."
I was moved and asked her if she had seen this jade from anyone else.
Wang Ruoyu rolled his eyes at me and said, "Stop talking, you little charlatan. You're disrupting my train of thought!"
She held her chin and thought hard for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything.
However, after all this trouble, Zhu Xiaomei believed it a little more and stopped holding on to it.
She was worried about her brother's body and insisted on going to the yard to check it out, so I accompanied her. Wang Ruoyu didn't dare to stay in the house alone, so she had to follow us.
