Chapter 58 The Mysterious Old Tan Family

We walked along the path in the yard, and soon we walked to the vicinity of the canopy in the yard, which was close to the coffin lined there.

These coffins are divided into three rows and are arranged very neatly. However, these three rows of coffins are not in full three rows, because some are missing in one row...

My heart surged, and I looked at the old lady walking in front, hesitated for a while, then started to feel brave, and asked, "Sorry, old man, I want to ask what these coffins are...?"

"This?" the old lady stopped and turned her head to look, and sighed, "As old as she always needs to prepare these things."

"So much preparation?" I opened my eyes wide in surprise, "Where are you kidding?"

The old lady glanced at me, "Hmph, did I say I used it myself?"

"Don't you use it yourself? That's so much!" I suddenly felt a chill on my back, "But, but, are there anyone else here besides you?"

"Of course there is!" The old lady pointed casually at the coffin lined up there.

I stopped suddenly and stood there with my legs stiff, "How is this possible?"

The old lady glanced at me, "Do you want me to call them out?"

"Uh!!" I couldn't help but take a two-step back, "No, no!" My hair was blowing up all over my body, and I wish I could turn around and run away now.

However, as soon as the corner of my eyes glanced at the gate behind me, I suddenly felt that my wrist was suddenly wrapped around. I suddenly looked down and found that it was the old lady holding her hand on my wrist.

Her hands were dry and cold, like an iron hook, and I grabbed me tightly. I subconsciously broke free, but I couldn't do it.

The old lady rolled her eyes and looked at me, "Are you a fellow Tan family?"

"No, no." I waved my hand.

The old lady nodded, "No one is here..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head suddenly and stared at me. At the same time, she took a breath of air conditioning, and her eyes sternly sternly.

I was startled by her changes and looked at her nervously. The old lady's expression only existed for a few seconds before disappearing.

"Come in, come in and sit down." As she said that, she pulled me into the room.

Because the windows here are frosted glass, the lights in the house are actually much brighter than those outside.

The placement in the house is very old, but judging from the style and layout of the furniture, it was also very particular at the beginning.

I sat opposite the old lady, and under the reflection of the light, her skin looked even pale.

The atmosphere was a little awkward at this time. I really didn't know what to say, but the old lady just stared at me, but didn't say a word.

I felt uncomfortable all over and had to start chatting awkwardly, "Well, senior, why do you use frosted glass in your room? It's so impermeable."

The old lady looked up at the window, "Because I don't like seeing the sun."

This made me tremble in my heart and subconsciously looked at the old lady's abdomen until I saw a slight ups and downs that I felt a little relieved.

The old lady looked at me and smiled slightly, "Why do you think you're a ghost? I'm not dead yet!"

I was immediately embarrassed. The old lady's eyes were sharp and she was definitely not an ordinary person. Anyway, now that things have come to this point, I have already sat here, and there seems to be no danger. My heart has quietly calmed down.

Because of this, I became a little curious about the identity of the old lady. So I asked, "Why are you living here, old man?"

The old lady smiled bitterly, "It's useless for people to be old. Where can I live without living here? It would be nice to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

I think this is very vague. Could it be that she was driven out by unfilial children? But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was not right. With the means and shrewdness shown by this old lady, it is basically impossible to force her to this level.

As I thought about it, I suddenly remembered the conversation with her just now, and asked tentatively: "Old man..."

But before I finished speaking, the old lady was interrupted by the raised hand, "Don't always be the old man, I'll call her mother-in-law."

"Okay," I nodded, changed my name and said, "Mother-in-law, what is your relationship with the Tan family?"

"Tan Family?" When talking about the word "Tan Family", the old lady's eyes instantly became a little cold. She snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, it was used to be." When talking about the Tan Family, the old lady seemed to look angry.

I heard that the old lady seemed to have something in her words, so I boldly continued to ask tentatively, "Once? Isn't it now? Mother-in-law, what does this mean?"

"What does it mean? Even if it's not a rabbit and a dog, it's a bird that can hide all its bows." At this point, the old lady was already angry. I heard the hidden truth and quickly closed her mouth.

Soon, the old lady's face returned to normal, "In fact, the ruthlessness of the Tan family is not a generalization. The eldest lady is still good to us."

"Miss?" I was stunned for a moment, then reacted and blurted out subconsciously, "Aunt Tan?"

The old lady nodded: "It seems that you have seen her. If it weren't for the help of the young lady over the years, we old bones would have died!"

"We?" I asked curiously, "What? Is there anyone else here?"

Before I finished speaking, the door of the inner room creaked open. Another old man with a dry face poked his head out of the room. He looked at me with dizzy eyes, then looked at the old lady sitting opposite me, and said, "I heard the voice in the room, and I thought it was the eldest lady who came. I didn't expect that the guest came. Is it a friend of the Tan family?"

I was about to answer when the old lady opposite me spoke first, "He is not, he is just a lost person. Old sister, go and rest first. I will say a few words to him and send him down the mountain tomorrow dawn."

The old man in the inner room nodded and went back. I looked at the closed door and said, "Mother-in-law, it turns out that you are really not the only one here."

The old lady nodded and glanced out the window, "Now do you know what those coffins are for?"

I was shocked and nodded immediately. I felt a little desolate for the old man. When I looked at the old lady again, I didn't think she was so scary.

The old lady gradually withdrew her gaze and stared at me in the face. After a while, she said, "You are from the Zhuo family, right?"

The old lady's words made me stunned.

(ps: I sincerely apologize to you. I am still abroad now. I also explain that I am not here to play, but I am indeed doing business. Try to take some time to write some words. I dare not let everyone forgive me. I just want to apologize to you here. I will return to China in two or three days. After I go back, I will resume daily updates! Apologize again!)
