"Young people just don't listen to advice, once something happens it's too late. I suggest you head back early!" The old woman said and then prepared to leave, trembling.
At this moment, Chen Shouyi noticed the phrase "all these years" in her earlier words.
His heart stirred, and he called out to the old lady, asking:
"Granny, wait a moment, I want to ask, how long has this house been haunted?"
"Why are you asking this? About ten years or so. I'm getting old and can't quite remember things clearly. It's an old story by now..."
After listening to the old lady ramble on for a while, Chen Shouyi finally got the gist of it.
It turned out to be an unavoidable story between an old widower whose children were all living abroad and a young maid.
In the end, the young maid could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself.
For fear of exposure, the old man hid the body in the basement, pretending to live normally every day, until one day, he never came out again.
