Chapter 773: The older one is not well behaved, the younger one will learn from him

As Xu Yanran looked on with tears in her eyes, Old Qi touched his chin and sighed softly.

"Miss Xia sent over a dozen letters to Chuzhou, each one emphasizing that we, the old and the young, should stay put in Chuzhou. We agreed to this, but then we ran off to Nan Yun, relying on our age and weakness. It's good enough that we don't get beaten, okay?"

Xu Yanran took a deep breath in grief, unable to believe that Mr. Qi, whom she regarded as her savior, actually had such a plan.

Mr. Qi brushed his sleeves leisurely and said contentedly, "Besides, weren't Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou also disobedient?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"If they're going to get beaten, they should be the first to bear the brunt. We're just two bystanders at best."

Xu Yanran opened her mouth speechlessly, her mind going blank.

Although they spoke very quietly outside the house, they were still heard by the people inside.

Sang Zhixia walked out with a gloomy face and saw the old man and the young boy who were drenched by the rain, their faces as black as ink.

Xu Yanran blinked innocently. Before she could excuse herself for being implicated, Old Qi suddenly sighed and said, "Girl, I had no choice."

Xu Yanran hugged her first aid kit tightly in shock, feeling so helpless as if she was holding on to her last straw.

Elder Qi clenched his fists in grief, "Yanran is so worried about you that she can't stay in Chuzhou. As an elder, how can I bear to see her begging and crying every day for this?"

Xu Yanran opened her mouth weakly: "No, I...sister-in-law, please listen to my explanation, I..."

"Out of love for my younger generation, I had no choice but to ignore your advice and take the risk to bring her here."

Old Qi took the initiative to distance himself from any possible involvement and emphasized seriously: "Don't worry, girl, although it was Yanran's insistence that we come to Nanyun, and I didn't take the initiative to come, but!"

"I've violated your wishes, and I'm also responsible for this matter. I won't shirk it. I accept whatever you say!"

Xu Yanran was speechless in the face of the distorted truth, and her eyes were filled with shock and heartache when she looked at Mr. Qi.

Xu Yanran trembled and said, "That's not what you told me before you came..."

You clearly said that you would be there for me and would protect me!

Old Qi turned his head away as if he couldn't bear it, ignoring Xu Yanran's helplessness, and said with his neck stiff, "Yanran, you are already a big child."

"As a grown-up girl, you must learn to be brave enough to take responsibility for your mistakes."

Mr. Qi said this with some righteousness: "Don't learn from your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is not very willing to take responsibility for himself."

"Xu Yu, that's not right, you know that?"

Xu Yanran was so wronged that she couldn't defend herself. She looked at Sang Zhixia with tears in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I..."

"I said that although I really wanted to come, I am indeed innocent. Sister-in-law, are you willing to believe me?"

Sang Zhixia's head became more and more big.

The uninvited old man and young man changed their rain-soaked clothes and returned to the house, one standing and the other sitting.

The older one seems honest and innocent, but everyone knows what's really going on.

The younger one looked aggrieved, but in fact, the glutinous rice dumplings were also filled with black sesame filling, so no one was necessarily more innocent than the other.

Sang Zhixia looked at the two people with a headache and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you in the letter that everything is fine and that you should take Yanran to wait for me in Chuzhou?"

Old Qi coughed and cleared his throat: "Isn't this just to prevent Yanran from being sad?"

"Besides, since everything is fine, it wouldn't be a problem if we came, right?

Old Qi took the handkerchief from Xu Mingyang's hands and wiped the water stains on his hair. He threw the handkerchief to Xu Mingyang, then took the ginger soup from Sang Yanyou and took a sip.

Then he said slowly: "Girl, just treat us as if we are here to enjoy the scenery. Don't take us seriously. Just treat us as decorations. You don't need to worry about us at all!"

Xu Yanran quickly nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"We've already discussed this on the way here. We won't cause any trouble for Sister-in-law!"

Sang Zhixia glanced at Xu Yanran meaningfully, and Xu Yanran quickly lowered her head.

Wherever Sangzhi Natsume passed by, Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou instantly turned into puppies with their tails tucked between their legs.

Sang Zhixia was really starting to have a headache: "Grandpa, you..."

"Leave me alone."

Without warning, Mr. Qi acted like a scoundrel and said without hesitation, "I'm already this old, I won't obey you."

"I……"

"Hey, I told you to stay out of it."

Old Qi casually pointed at the stunned Gui Sheng and blurted out, "I'm just passing through here to visit an old friend. I can't break an appointment we made a long time ago. Otherwise, do you think I'd be happy to come all the way to this damn place?"

"Don't you think so?"

Gui Shengxin said, isn't this nonsense?

What agreement did I have with you?

You, old man, don't want to offend Sang Zhixia, but do I think I can afford to offend her?!

Gui Sheng's heart was filled with grief. Unfortunately, he didn't want to offend this person, nor could he afford to offend that person. He closed his eyes in frustration and nodded solemnly in extreme pain: "You are right."

"It's really not good to break one's promise to others."

Mr. Qi was satisfied.

Elder Qi smiled at Sang Zhixia and said, "Look, whether you tell me or not, I'm going to come to the appointment. It's really not for any other reason."

Sang Zhixia held his forehead and sneered, "In the short time since we've been here, you've given me several explanations."

Mr. Qi: “…”

"Which one do you think I should choose to trust?"

Faced with Sang Zhixia's deep gaze, Old Qi was rarely able to hold back his pride.

Mr. Qi rolled his eyes and waved his hands absentmindedly: "It's not important. These things are not important in the first place."

"The important thing is that even though we're in a foreign land, our family is safely together. Isn't that a good thing? Why are you unhappy?"

Sang Zhixia let out a tired breath.

Mr. Qi took advantage of the opportunity to say, "We will protect ourselves and will not hold you back."

"But……"

"Now that we're here, what else can we do?"

Old Qi spread his hands and shrugged, "You can't possibly be planning on tying us up and sending us away, right?"

Sang Zhixia said expressionlessly, "Is this possible?"

"That probably won't work."

Old Qi suppressed his laughter and said, "Girl, you even tied up Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou and made them run back. How do you think you can tie me up?"

"I've already told you that Qianlizui doesn't work on me, and neither do all the other things I gave you."

Sang Zhixia held his forehead and sighed again.

Elder Qi seized the opportunity and decisively shifted the blame: "By the way, I heard that you two drank half a pound of Thousand Mile Drunk and didn't pass out. Someone, tell me what happened and how you got back?"

Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou, who were originally lowering their heads to enjoy the peaceful days, looked up, and both of their faces were filled with shock, wondering how this could happen.

Sang Zhixia's eyes were dim, and Xu Mingyang said without thinking: "Sister-in-law, there is also my elder brother!"

"My eldest brother didn't listen either!"

Xu Yu, who happened to arrive at the door: "..."

Sang Yanyou was suddenly affected again, and he opened his mouth to sell out his brother-in-law without any pressure: "Yes, yes."

"Sister, think about it carefully. As the old saying goes, if the elders are not obedient, the younger ones will learn bad habits. Didn't we all learn these tricks from my brother-in-law?"

"If it weren't for my brother-in-law's good teaching, how could we, as rotten wood, be so smart?"

When it comes to squeezing out Xu Yu, Mr. Qi has always spared no effort.

So Mr. Qi nodded in agreement: "That's right, this is all because the elders were not taught well."

"It's all Xu Yu's fault!"

Xu Yu clenched his fists and breathed slowly. Under the pitying gaze of his subordinates, he spoke slowly, "I've always said that being too soft-hearted is bad. Seriously."

If they kill all these troublesome people at once, there will be fewer obstacles between them as a couple!
