Chapter 27: What’s wrong with you?!

Fortunately, Fu Yanci was quick-witted and grabbed her ankle.

He quickly said, “Comrade Su, don’t be impulsive, it’s me!”

Su Wantang only then saw the outline of the dark figure. She pulled back her leg.

She opened her mouth and scolded Fu Yanci, “What’s wrong with you?! It’s late at night, you’re not going home, why are you chasing after me?!”

She thought she was being targeted by some old pervert!

She had almost run out of breath!

Fu Yanci was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to run, I only ran because I saw you suddenly running.”

Su Wantang rolled her eyes at him and asked, “Did you drop something?”

Fu Yanci shook his head: “No.”

Then, his expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, “Comrade Su, I forgot to tell you something important. I want to bring my parents to your house tomorrow to propose marriage.”

“Originally, I wanted to come directly, but after thinking about it, I felt that I should tell you in advance to avoid being too abrupt.”

Seeing Fu Yanci’s serious expression, Su Wantang was no longer angry.

Men who speak seriously and do things seriously are always the most charming.

She nodded slightly and replied, “Okay, I know. I’ll tell my Dad when I get home. It’s late, you should go back.”

The two families already had a close relationship.

Marriage was a natural progression.

Su Wantang found him quite pleasing.

So she didn’t resist marrying this “paper man.”

In this era, having a military officer husband could also deter some ill-intentioned people.

Life could also be smoother.

Moreover, he was handsome, wealthy, had good character, and was responsible.

There was really nothing to refuse.

Being with him, Su Wantang could feel more at ease to lie flat and do nothing.

With Su Wantang’s words, Fu Yanci felt overjoyed.

Watching Su Wantang walk away, he reluctantly turned around, and happily left with a smile on his face.

……

Su Wantang reached her own door and suddenly heard a sound of crying.

The cry was very soft and suppressed.

She looked around, but there was no one.

The rural earthen house seemed particularly gloomy and terrifying at night.

She remembered the folk ghost stories she had read before, and immediately got goosebumps.

She heard that some female ghosts liked to squat at the corners of people’s houses and cry in the dead of night.

It just so happened that there seemed to be a ghost shadow at the corner of her earthen house…

It was too dark, Su Wantang couldn’t see clearly.

She just felt that tonight was really unlucky.

She aimed at the door and sprinted towards it at a hundred-meter sprint speed.

She pushed open the door and dashed inside.

As long as she ran fast enough, the dirty things wouldn’t catch her!

Just as she calmed down, she heard a voice: “You’re back.”

Su Wantang was about to reply when she turned around and saw Su Jianguo holding a kerosene lamp in the dark room.

The lamp was shining directly on his face.

This scene almost sent Su Wantang away.

When would this dark and gloomy life end!

Su Wantang suddenly felt like crying.

She pressed herself against the door, calmed herself down, and said weakly, “Dad, why are you holding a lamp here like a door god in the middle of the night?”

Su Jianguo smiled, “I was afraid you couldn’t see clearly when you came back, so I was lighting the way for you.”

Su Wantang raised her hand and pulled down the kerosene lamp in Su Jianguo’s hand.

Then she said, “Dad, this is how you light the way. What you were doing before was shining the light on your face, it’s scary!”

Su Jianguo laughed until his wrinkles appeared.

He handed the kerosene lamp directly to Su Wantang: “Here, you hold it, you can shine it however you want.”

Su Wantang took the kerosene lamp and had a sudden idea.

She shone the lamp on her face, then rolled her eyes at Su Jianguo, making a ghost face that she thought was very scary.

Su Jianguo calmly glanced at her, then walked into his own room.

Su Wantang called out to him, “Why aren’t you scared when I scare you?”

Su Jianguo stopped, gave her a helpless smile, “You silly girl, I’m not afraid of my own daughter! Also, this is a new society, you can’t engage in these feudal superstitions outside!”

Su Wantang suddenly felt bored, hung her head, and walked to her own room.

Su Jianguo suddenly remembered something and stopped at the door to ask her, “Xiao Wan, did you see Zhang Daniu when you came back just now? She came to look for you just now, and she looked strange. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn’t tell me.”
