Zhong Wan's life philosophy: Being poor is scarier than ghosts! A middle-aged leftover woman who has been unemployed for a year and is about to live on the streets, Zhong Wan gritted her teeth ...
Chapter 52 You'll get used to it
Zhong Wan fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
She reached out and hung up her father's coat, then whispered, "Go on, I'll go with you."
Zhong Yuansheng quickly shook his head and refused: "No need, just stay at home, don't scare yourself anymore."
"Besides, your older brother is leading the security team and the workshop workers to search for them, so don't worry."
After Zhong Yuansheng finished speaking, he looked at the people in the living room and asked in a low voice, "Wanwan, did you bring that back?"
Zhong Wan nodded: "There's your eldest grandson, your son-in-law, and your son-in-law's nephew."
"What the heck?!"
Zhong Yuansheng's voice, which had just sounded somewhat tired, cracked instantly.
He Qilan came out when she heard the noise and immediately smiled: "Old Zhong is back, hurry up and wash up and eat."
"Your son-in-law is here. Please meet him. He's the handsome young man I told you about last night at dinner, the one who saved our daughter."
Zhong Yuansheng nodded silently upon hearing this.
He turned his head to look at the two people standing in the living room.
Seeing this, Lin Yan'an politely greeted him, "Dad, good morning."
"..."
Zhong Yuansheng looked at him and remained silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Pei Xingyu looked around and quickly said, "Good morning, great-uncle."
【Meow! Hello, Grandpa!】
Zhong Suisui, with her tail held high, gracefully walked up to Zhong Yuansheng, rubbing against his pants and meowing.
Zhong Yuansheng felt a wave of dizziness.
Why does he feel like he's hallucinating after staying up all night?
My wife mentioned this guy during dinner last night. He's the newly minted eldest son-in-law.
I never expected it would actually become part of his family.
But how can he understand what the cat is saying when it's meowing?
He stayed up all night and then inexplicably became fluent in cat language after get off work?
Noticing the dazed look in his eyes, Zhong Wan couldn't help but chuckle.
"dad?"
She waved her hand in front of Zhong Yuansheng's eyes and said with a smile, "Dad, snap out of it."
"SuiSui is not an ordinary cat, you'll get used to it."
"Forehead."
"Lin Yan'an and the others are still waiting for your reply."
Zhong Yuansheng quickly looked at Lin Yan'an and Pei Xingyu and gave them an awkward smile.
Then, looking helplessly at He Qilan, who was watching the show with amusement, he asked, "Wife, stop watching. You didn't even remind me."
"Have you given out all the red envelopes?"
"It was given."
After finishing her sentence, He Qilan looked at Pei Xingyu and Zhong Suisui and said apologetically, "Xingyu and Suisui are still missing. It's my fault for not being prepared. I'll make it up to you after we finish eating."
"It's alright, it's alright, Auntie, you don't need to be so polite."
Meow! Thank you, Grandma!
"Alright, alright, let's get ready to eat. Why be so polite when we're all family?"
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhong Yuansheng looked at Lin Yan'an and then at Pei Xingyu and said, "You don't need to be polite at home. If you have any problems, just talk to them."
"I have something to take care of, so I'll go out first."
He Qilan nodded, sighed, and said, "Go ahead, but be careful."
"Okay, I understand."
Watching him leave with his coat, the atmosphere in the room instantly fell silent.
Zhong Wan reached out and picked up Zhong Suisui, feeling its body, which had become warm, and asked in a low voice, "Suisui, can you find the body?"
Upon hearing this, He Qilan looked on with anticipation in her eyes.
Zhong Suisui glanced at them, then turned to look at the sun outside the window. A golden light seemed to flash in her bright black eyes [something that can't be seen during the day].
Its previously warm body suddenly felt a strange chill, its little ears twitched slightly, and its babyish voice seemed to carry a strange sense of oppression. [However, you could try it at night, Sui Sui.]
[That place...it's so heavy...so cumbersome...]
Its gaze looked outwards, as if penetrating everything and reaching directly into the mine.
Zhong Wan's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this: "Great!"
"Let's wait and see. If we haven't found it by daytime, we'll look for it again tonight!"
He Qilan nodded quickly: "Then I'll trouble you, Sui Sui. We'll go together tonight."
After tidying up the table, the group returned to the sofa. He Qilan insisted on giving them the original gift of a person and a cat.
It's not much money, it's just a token of my appreciation.
The TV was on low volume, and the group ate fruit, occasionally exchanging a few words.
He Qilan, however, seemed somewhat distracted, glancing at her phone repeatedly.
Today is the third day.
If they still haven't found it, their boss will definitely make them transfer again.
In that case, we might never find it again.
She didn't know if Zhong Suisui was telling the truth or not.
She believed in it, but she also had expectations for Zhong Yuansheng and the others.
He Qilan glanced at the clock on the wall again, feeling restless.
"Wanwan, Yan'an, you two stay here, I'll go take a look too. I really can't sit still at home anymore."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yan'an apologetically and said, "Mom is going out for a while. I'll be back as soon as possible. Please don't mind."
Lin Yan'an shook his head slightly upon hearing this, and looking at her somewhat anxious eyes, he gently comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, we will definitely find it."
"Shall I go with you?"
"I'm going too!"
Zhong Wan quickly added, then looked at Pei Xingyu, who had already opened his mouth, and Zhong Yang, who had stood up: "You two don't need to go, just stay home and play."
"No need, no need, I can go by myself."
He Qilan really wanted to refuse; she was genuinely embarrassed to trouble her new son-in-law.
She had barely finished speaking when her phone rang.
He Qilan's eyes lit up instantly when she saw Zhong Yuansheng's phone number on the screen.
He quickly picked up his phone and answered, "Hey, Lao Zhong, have you found it?"
Her voice was full of anticipation.
Zhong Yuansheng sighed heavily, looked up at the figures in the distance, and said in a somber voice, "Your boss is here. Liqun has already taken Old Zhang's wife to discuss compensation..."
"Old Zhang's body has been found?"
"not yet."
He Qilan frowned instantly: "Where's Liqun? I'll call him."
"Okay, then you should talk to him properly."
"knew."
After hanging up the phone, He Qilan found He Liqun's number and called him.
But no one answered after I called three or four times.
He Qilan couldn't sit still any longer. She hurriedly got up and walked over, saying, "I'll go over there first. You all sit down for now."
"I'll drive you there."
Seeing this, Zhong Wan followed closely behind.
Lin Yan'an quickly followed, glancing at the two boys out of the corner of her eye and saying bluntly, "You two are at home."
Meow! Sui Sui is going too!
In an instant, Zhong Suisui transformed into a black ray of light and skillfully landed on Lin Yan'an's shoulder. Its body was somewhat tense, and its two little paws gripped Lin Yan'an's clothes tightly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an turned his head to look at him and said in a deep voice, "Remember not to show any abnormality when you are outside in the future."
【Meow? 】
"obedient."
【good. 】
Zhong Suisui didn't understand, but it was really obedient. However, its tail was wagging a little uneasy, and its fluffy little face also became serious.
Lin Yan'an walked quickly to the car that was starting up, opened the door, and got in.
Zhong Wan turned her head to look when she heard the noise.
Lin Yan'an looked up into her eyes and reassured her, "I'll go with you."
Zhong Wan said in a deep voice, "Thank you."
He Qilan, her eyes slightly red, also expressed her gratitude.
Lin Yan'an shook her head slightly and whispered reassuringly, "Mom, we're family, there's no need to be so polite."
Yes, we're family.
He really integrated quite quickly.
As Zhong Wan drove, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Yan'an's expressionless face in the rearview mirror upon hearing this.
The feeling was quite different from when we first met.
