Chapter 406 The couple quarreled
"You..." Ma Kaiqu was furious and shook his hand away.
Ye Xiaomei knew it very well. How could she, as a younger generation, reach out to hit her mother-in-law?
"Mom and Dad, please stop arguing. Chengshuang's burns aren't serious. He'll just have to suffer for a few days."
Ma Kaiqu was as determined as a turtle eating a weight today: "No, this matter is not just a matter of being hot in pairs, it's about people's hearts being wicked. The days you are talking about are over. Go, get out of here now."
Wang Lan bit her lip in silence, stuffed her grandson into Ma Kaiqu's arms, picked up the empty bowl on the table and smashed it to pieces:
"Let's go, I'll say this in advance, don't come to pick me up with a licking face when the time comes."
Having said that, Wang Lan went back to the house to pack her clothes. Not long after, she disappeared into the darkness angrily, carrying her bag.
"Go, go, go. If I go to pick you up, I'd be a bastard." Ma Kaiqu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Ye Xiaomei was dumbfounded; she had no idea things were heading in this direction.
People in the countryside are very concerned about their reputation. At such an old age, if they are still young, they are afraid of being gossiped about wherever they go.
Ma Kaiqu, however, had no intention of trying to keep him. He sat down on the stool and sighed:
"Xiao Mei, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I think there is no mother who doesn't love her child. For so long, your mother didn't even give you the chance to hold the child. Don't worry, during this period of time, you should take good care of the child and cultivate the relationship between mother and daughter. I will go and bring your mother back after the 29th day of the lunar year."
Ye Xiaomei didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. It seemed like he was planning to be a bastard.
"Okay, I'll pick him up in a few days." Ye Xiaomei didn't want to cause family discord because of this matter.
It was also her fault that she was used to the intrigues and quarrels in her mother's family when she was young. There were always fights, and the neighbors would come to watch and laugh at her until late at night.
"Well, okay, let's do it this way. If you have something to do, just go out. I have been taking care of the children for a long time."
After saying this, Ma Kaiqu tiredly lifted up his knees and went to the side room with the child in his arms.
Just then, Ye Xiaomei's cell phone rang, and she hurried into the bedroom with the pork rib soup.
As soon as I answered the phone, I found out that Tang Bushi was almost in Qingyang County and would be able to enter the village in just over an hour.
Ye Xiaomei thought to herself, this guy is really proactive. I was afraid that he would come right after I hung up the phone.
Ever since the construction of Meihua Village began, the sound of blasting rocks could be heard all day long, and the bang-bang-bang noise had become a habit.
Ye Xiaomei didn't know whether Liu Zhihua had really found the detonator to blow up the snake hole at this time. Even if he had, she couldn't tell whether the sound was coming from blasting rocks or from him blowing up the snake hole.
If he was killed in the explosion, Tang Buci’s trip would have been in vain.
"Xiao Mei?" Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Xiaomei hurried to open the door, and her father-in-law Ma Kaiqu said with an unpleasant face: "I can take care of the child, but I don't know where the child's cotton clothes and diapers are."
Ye Xiaomei looked at her father-in-law's embarrassment and wanted to laugh for a moment: "It's in the high and low cabinets. I'll look for it."
Ye Xiaomei entered the side room and heard her father-in-law mutter behind her - this damn woman did it on purpose.
Ye Xiaomei opened the cabinet without thinking and took a look: "Why is it gone? The laundry was placed here before, and the diapers were placed in this drawer."
Ye Xiaomei was puzzled for a moment, why was it empty?
Ma Kaiqu's eyes widened and he shook his head in anger, wandering around the house: "I guess your mother hid it. I said that the old lady did it on purpose. She thought that she couldn't survive and couldn't take care of the baby if I left. I really didn't believe it."
There was a commotion as boxes and cabinets were rummaged through. Ye Xiaomei was not idle either. She looked under the bed. Oh my god, everything was under the bed. It was a good thing that the floor was paved with cement, otherwise the luggage would have been buried.
"Dad, under the bed."
Ma Kaiqu took a look and stamped his feet in anger.
At this moment, there were footsteps outside. Ye Xiaomei turned around and saw a figure flashing past the dark window:
"Dad, Mom doesn't seem to have left yet."
Ma Kaiqu was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at his daughter-in-law, then he looked out the window, waved his hand, and raised his voice and said:
"Why are you here? I can cook, I can wash clothes, I can take care of the kids, but at my age I'm like a rat."
As he said this, Ma Kaiqu angrily took out a large bag from under the bed. After opening it, he saw that the children's belongings were all there.
Ma Kaiqu suddenly became like an old child, laughing:
"Hey, isn't this quite complete? Grandpa will change your diaper for you, and then we can go to sleep."
Ye Xiaomei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The couple were obviously sulking each other.
Ye Xiaomei said something more: "Dad, it's so late, why is Mom going back to her parents' home?"
"Don't worry, she has plenty of ways to deal with it. She might not want to leave."
Ma Kaiqu was not worried at all. He knew at a glance that this was not the first time Wang Lan was angry.
Sure enough, when her father-in-law turned off the lights with the children and just returned to her room, Ye Xiaomei heard the sound of pacing outside.
It was not until the phone rang that Ye Xiaomei put on everything, put on her scarf and quietly went out.
A dark shadow visibly staggered and quickly disappeared in the direction of the chicken coop at the foot of the wall.
This caused a few cries of chickens to come from the chicken coop.
Ye Xiaomei pretended not to see it and disappeared out of the yard in a flash.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar year, there was no moon at all and everything was pitch black.
Only a few construction sites had 100-watt light bulbs hanging high. This was also to meet deadlines; most of the workers from other places had already gone home early for the New Year holiday.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Ye Xiaomei saw a car in the distance and quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the windshield.
As soon as I got in the car, I found Tang Bushi lying on the back seat with his arms and legs spread out.
The driver of the vehicle was Qiu Ah Man.
Tang Buci stretched his back and muttered, "Your hometown is so shabby. What kind of road is that? It made me almost vomit my intestines."
As he spoke, he burped, and a smell of spicy beef noodles came over him.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but frown: "You must be suffering."
Qiu Ah Man rarely interrupted and said, "Boss Tang ate six bowls of oil-splashed beef noodles in the county."
Six bowls?
Ye Xiaomei's mouth twitched: "Did you eat all six bowls?"
Qiu Ah Man started the car and asked where to go. Ye Xiaomei gave instructions while looking at Tang Bushi in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"To be honest, I never thought that there would be such delicious beef noodles in such a barren place."
Tang Buci couldn't help but sigh: "I plan to open a noodle shop in the Tang family residence in the future. I will poach the chef downstairs when the time comes."
"Don't think that this is just a one-sided story. Let me tell you about the Black Toad King."
Ye Xiaomei brought the topic back to reality so that he wouldn't be obsessed with business and making money.
After hearing this, Tang Buci sat up straighter and said, "You mean, an old man was buried here ten years ago? How has it grown so much in ten years?"
Ye Xiaomei was puzzled by the question: "Yes, I asked that master surnamed Niu, and he said it himself, it is the size of a palm, and there is no difference from ordinary black toad stone."
"That's not enough. Unless the Black Toad King has his own so-called royal bloodline, it's impossible for him to grow this big in ten years."
As he spoke, Tang Bushi produced a book from under his feet and began to read:
"Fortunately, I was smart and brought some books with me to study in the car to avoid wasting time."
As they were talking, the car rolled over the muddy road which became narrower and narrower.
From a distance, I saw a big light bulb hanging high on a tree on the Niu family’s homestead. It looked to be at least 500 watts bright, illuminating an area within a two-mile radius as bright as day.
Under the light, Ye Xiaomei saw Liu Zhihua at a glance.
There was also the snake cave that was blown up so badly that even the residential land was affected and collapsed for more than ten meters.
