Chapter 167 Bully my wife, the talisman is back
At this time, the village chief's house was in chaos.
Shao Qiaolan took the children out for a wandering around for most of the day, and Qiao Ting and Qiao Nian seemed to be very uncomfortable when they returned home at night.
Shao Qiaolan wondered if she had caught a cold and was about to have a fever.
A fever in such a cold weather was not a big deal, but the worst thing was that they started vomiting and talking nonsense at night.
Shao Qiaolan was startled. Seeing the two children like this, she felt distressed. Thinking that they were probably cold, she gave them some hot water and sent them to bed early.
But after going to bed, the two children were too quiet.
On normal days, if they were sick, they would definitely whimper and keep complaining about being in pain and asking their mothers to hold them.
But this time, after the two children fell ill, there was no movement, and even their breathing could not be heard.
Shao Qiaolan thought that the child was exhausted after being out with her for most of the day and needed to rest, so she didn't pay much attention to it and just lit another charcoal brazier in the house.
When the village chief came back, he didn't see his granddaughter playing in the snow in the yard, so he asked a few questions.
Shao Qiaolan said hurriedly: "It's too cold on a snowy day. I seem to be frozen and fell asleep."
When the village chief knew that his granddaughter was sick, he went into the house to see. It would have been fine if he hadn't gone in, but when he did, he was shocked.
His daughter-in-law said his granddaughter had a fever, but when he touched her head, it was ice cold.
The two children had their eyes closed, were barely breathing, and even their lips were bloodless.
The village chief knew that this was not a good thing.
The child may have been possessed by an evil spirit.
The village chief became a little anxious and chased Shao Qiaolan to ask what was wrong with the child.
Shao Qiaolan stammered and said that she went to the town to help Xie Zao Zao buy things and brought her children with her, but she was cold.
The village chief was a little dissatisfied. There was nothing wrong with going to town to buy things, so why not leave the child behind?
Could it be that the woman couldn't even have children because of morning sickness?
But after all, she was someone else's daughter-in-law, so the village chief didn't say much and went to Xie Zaozao's residence in person.
When I entered the room, I saw Xie Zaozao leaning on the couch, lazily flipping through a storybook. There was a plate of candied bayberries next to him. He read a few pages and took a bite, looking very leisurely.
The village chief felt a little uncomfortable. His granddaughter passed out while going to the town with her mother to buy things, but now she was lying here eating and reading a book?
Is it difficult to help keep an eye on your children while they play in the yard?
The village chief didn't see Fu Yanzhi, so he treated Xie Zaozao with a bad attitude: "Miss Xie, although we promised to help Mr. Fu take care of you, you can't take us too lightly, right? My granddaughters are still so young, how can you bear to let them go in such cold weather?"
Xie Zaozao had just brought a bayberry in her hand to her lips, but after hearing the village chief's accusation, her face immediately turned cold and she put the bayberry back on the plate.
The village chief was about to say something when he heard someone pushing the door open. He turned around and saw Fu Yanzhi wearing a half-worn shirt, with his hair standing up high. He looked like a neat and handsome young man from an ordinary family. He pushed the door open with a bucket of water in his hand.
The village chief was shocked. Why did Mr. Fu go to fetch water himself?
"Sir, sir, let me do it, please put it down." The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his head and hurried over, snatched the bucket from Fu Yanzhi's hand, carried it in respectfully and put it on the ground.
"Sir, you shouldn't do such rough work."
Fu Yanzhi actually didn't have the habit of doing his own work, but when he came back from outside today, he always felt that something seemed strange in the mountains. He felt something was not good, so he sent all the Shikigami he brought with him out to check the situation.
There was no paper in Xie Zaozao's room, so she fished out a few pieces of gilded patterned paper from her own space. Fu Yanzhi stuffed them back into her hands, almost writing the word "spendthrift" on her face.
"We'll use it to write wedding notes in the future." He directly indicated a place for the gilded patterned paper, and then went out to fetch water.
Xie Zaozao held the bayberry jar and thought this man was really interesting. How much could a few pieces of paper be worth? Compared with the bayberries he brought back in the middle of winter, it should not even be a fraction of their value.
But in order to save this little bit, he would rather go out to fetch water himself.
Xie Zaozao thought, that's fine, since he doesn't have to do it himself anyway.
The village chief was not so calm. In his mind, Fu Yanzhi was a god who descended from the sky on colorful clouds and riding a crane. How could he go to the yard to fetch water by himself!
After helping Fu Yanzhi carry the bucket in, he took the initiative to ask Fu Yanzhi: "Is there any other work to do at home? I'll let Qiaolan continue to help."
After saying that, he also pointed out: "It's not that Qiaolan is not capable, it's mainly because she went to the town to buy things today, so she was delayed. She will definitely finish these chores tomorrow."
Then he took a special look at Xie Zaozhao and saw that Xie Zaozhao had a calm expression. He was sitting there holding bayberries, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
What was there to mock her for? Beautiful women were really hard to serve. The village chief was somewhat dissatisfied, but for the sake of Fu Yanzhi's face, he could not say anything and just turned his head away and did not look at Xie Zaozao.
"Sir, I'll ask Qiaolan to come over and help, but could you please go see my granddaughter first? Today, Miss Xie asked Qiaolan to go to the town in the snow to buy something for her. Qiaolan took the child with her, and when she came back, the child was not feeling well—"
The village chief seemed to be describing the whole process objectively, but in fact, there was some dissatisfaction mixed in.
He hoped that Fu Yanzhi could see through this woman's true face. A woman who was so inconsiderate of ordinary people was not worthy of standing by Mr. Fu's side.
Who would have thought that when Fu Yanzhi heard this, his face turned cold: "This room is not cleaned at all, there is no hot water and no food prepared. You can still be picky after things have become like this?"
The village chief was stunned. What? Shao Qiaolan didn't do any work at all? Didn't she go to town after noon? Didn't she clean up the place beforehand?
Before he had time to think about it, he heard Xie Zao Zao, who was leaning on the couch, lazily say, "I'm curious, what did your daughter-in-law tell you?"
The village chief repeated Shao Qiaolan's words to Xie Zaozao. After listening to them, Xie Zaozao lay back down and looked at Fu Yanzhi: "You decide."
village head:"??"
Fu Yanzhi said: "Give back the talisman I gave you."
The village chief was startled and covered his pocket with his hands.
How could they possibly go back? In winter, people don't like to go out, and animals mostly stay in warm places. It's freezing outside, and it's hard for demons to find food. It's a time of unrest.
If I could have a talisman from Fu Yanzhi to protect myself, it would be worth a thousand gold.
When he opened his mouth again, his words were filled with pleading: "Sir, is it because we did something wrong that made Miss Xie angry, and that's why you're angry too?"
Xie Zao Zao said, "You are already old, stop pretending to be so pitiful. If you have time to smooth things over here, why not teach your daughter-in-law how to speak?"
The village chief still didn't understand.
But thinking of his two granddaughters, he couldn't help but beg, "Sir, if Qiaolan did anything wrong, I will definitely ask her to come and apologize in the future, but my granddaughter is really not in good condition. The mistakes of adults have nothing to do with the children. Please go and take a look."
After hearing this, Fu Yanzhi did not rush out, but walked to Xie Zaozao and sat down.
"It's not peaceful here at night. I can't leave."
There are two children in the house, one big and two small, all of whom are his darlings. How can he just leave them alone?
However, in the face of the village chief's plea, he also knew what was important and what was not: "The talisman I drew for you, placed in the child's arms, will keep him safe tonight."
He's not going anyway.
"Remember to return the talisman after you use it."
Village Chief: ...I'll have to give Shao Qiaolan a thorough trial when I get back. How could she have offended someone so badly?!
