A short-tempered mom? A money-grubbing dad? A humorous trio of women were sent to the 1960s by a leaky electric kettle, bringing with them a kitchen that could infinitely replicate food and a space...
Huang Xiaoju didn't react when Suihe entered the room. She looked at Suihe in a daze. After a long time, she stood up and looked at the middle-aged man awkwardly.
The middle-aged man looked at Suihe with his rat eyes half-closed, his left leg resting on the armrest of the chair like a dog lying on the ground peeing, without moving at all.
Huang Xiaoju looked nervously at the middle-aged man and then at Suihe, her lips twitching slightly before she said nothing. Suihe knew who this middle-aged man was from Huang Xiaoju's reaction; he must be her new "boyfriend."
"Sister-in-law, why is my aunt lying on the straw outside in such a cold weather? And she is tied with a rope?" He asked in a casual tone without being polite.
"Captain Jiang, please sit down. I didn't know you came here today. You must have had a hard time on the way!" Huang Xiaoju ignored the casual words.
As soon as the middle-aged man heard Huang Xiaoju calling him Captain Jiang, he knew who the tall and mighty man was. He was the captain, the comrade-in-arms of Huang Xiaoju's deceased husband, the one who sent money here every year, the God of Wealth.
Then the middle-aged man's attitude immediately changed. He stopped peeing on his left leg and stood up quickly with a smile to move a stool for Suihe. He was very attentive.
Only when he stood up could you see that the man had a slight limp in his left leg.
Suihe didn't even look at the middle-aged man. He frowned at Huang Xiaoju and yelled, "Huang Xiaoju, I'm asking you a question. What's wrong with my aunt?!"
Huang Xiaoju was snapped out of her trance by Suihe's yell. She gritted her teeth before answering, "Captain Jiang, my mother-in-law is crazy and always bites people. I have no choice but to put her there, otherwise she will go out and bite people!"
"Where are the two children?"
Huang Xiaoju glanced at the middle-aged man, then looked at Suihe and hesitated for a long time. Suihe saw that he was trying to make an excuse: "I sent her to my grandma's house during the winter vacation."
"I remember your family disowned you when Old Sun died, right? Back then, it was me and your village leaders who wrote the severance letter for you. So, have you restored ties with your family now?"
Huang Xiaoju, perhaps not a good liar, or perhaps afraid of the township leader, turned pale upon hearing Suihe's words. Her pale lips trembled, and she panicked, not knowing where to put her hands. She lowered her head for a long time before finally saying, "The relationship hasn't been restored. The children have gone to live with relatives."
Suihe became even more suspicious, but now was not the time to talk about that. He hurried to get the old lady into the house first. Then he walked out of the house and into the yard.
As soon as Huang Xiaoju saw Suihe go out, she quickly ran after him. She watched Suihe untie the old lady and kept saying, "Captain Jiang, you can't untie it! You can't untie it!"
Suihe was squatting in front of Aunt Sun and was untying the rope. When he heard Huang Xiaoju say this, he stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Huang Xiaoju and asked, "Why can't you untie it?"
Huang Xiaoju was on the verge of collapse, with tears in her eyes and trembling mouth, she kept saying "it can't be solved".
Seeing her like this, Suihe stopped talking, turned around and continued to untie the old lady, ignoring Huang Xiaoju.
The middle-aged man followed Huang Xiaoju out and watched Suihe untie the rope. His small rat eyes often narrowed habitually. Maybe this was a standard action when plotting against someone.
Suihe was untying the rope while taking a look at the middle-aged man. He was as tall as a dried tofu, with wandering eyes and a monkey-like look. He could send the man to his grandmother's house with one punch.
