It's only right that she protects him once.
Seeing her third uncle teasing her, Jiang Si immediately played her trump card.
“My mother-in-law said that she wants me to go back to Shanghai with her to spend the Chinese New Year with you this year.”
"Huh? You...you're coming back for the New Year?"
"yes."
Besides celebrating the Lunar New Year, Jiang Si also plans to take this opportunity to bring her third uncle and Uncle Zhong back to Qiongzhou Island.
Upon hearing this, the Third Uncle's voice trembled with excitement, but he quickly waved his hand.
"No need, no need, I have Ah Zhong with me, and there are many disciples and grand-disciples below me."
"You can stay in Beijing without worry. You don't need to come back to celebrate the New Year with us. It's too much trouble to travel back and forth."
Uncle Zhong glanced at his third uncle and thought to himself, "The only thing you're really good at is your mouth."
I miss Miss Si Si so much that I've cried several times.
But he couldn't say those words.
This year is Miss Si Si's first year of marriage. If she goes back to Shanghai for the Spring Festival, people will inevitably gossip behind her back.
Grandma Huo, who had been sitting nearby, listened to the conversation between the grandmother and grandson before taking the receiver.
"Hello, Uncle-in-law, I am Xiaozhou's grandmother."
Upon hearing that she was his in-laws' grandmother, the third uncle showed her the utmost respect.
"Hello, hello, my dear in-laws."
After exchanging greetings, Grandma Huo smiled and said, "Uncle, we actually think the same way. As long as the young couple is doing well, we really don't care about these things."
Grandma Huo knew that there was a custom of ancestor worship on the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve in the South.
Even now, this custom is still "if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate!"
She said, "This year is the first year of their marriage, and Xiaozhou should go back to Shanghai to personally tell Grandpa Jiang and his mother-in-law the good news."
"It just means that my third uncle will have to take care of them for a few days."
"Not at all, not at all, it's not hard work at all." Uncle San was overjoyed.
"So, is this matter settled?"
Since his in-laws had said so, what could Uncle San say but nod in agreement?
Seeing that the matter was settled, Grandma Huo returned the receiver to Jiang Si.
Jiang Si immediately gave a thumbs up, "Grandma, you're amazing."
Grandma Huo raised her lips, her expression one of utter pride.
Just then, I heard my third uncle say on the other end of the phone, "Si girl, tell me about that bastard. I'll give you news by the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"If he dares to touch your man, he's doomed."
"Don't worry, I'll see him alive or dead. Even if that bastard is reduced to ashes, I'll still dig his ashes out of the coffin."
Jiang Si: "..."
That's really unnecessary!
However, with her third uncle's words, she was indeed much more at ease.
The day after tomorrow happens to be Sunday, which is the day the family will separate.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and early that morning Jiang Si received a call from her third uncle.
After learning where the other party was staying, she didn't delay and immediately informed Huo's father.
Mr. and Mrs. Huo haven't returned these past few days; they've been busy investigating the Yang family's connection.
Mr. Huo said, "Okay, I understand. I'll inform them to take action right away. See you at the old house later."
"good."
As soon as Jiang Si hung up the phone, the old man looked over immediately.
"How's it going? Any news?"
"Um."
Jiang Si nodded heavily.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After breakfast, Guard Chen drove the group to the Huo family's old residence in Xicheng District.
It's hard to believe it was just bad luck, but as soon as Jiang Si helped Grandma Huo out of the car, she saw several unpleasant faces—
The author said: I took a look. Yesterday I said that I would write until a certain point, or I would gain 30 pounds. I guess I have written until that point?
I really didn't intentionally create writer's block and keep you all waiting. You can see that the two chapters I updated today have a combined word count of over 5200.
Finally, I wish all the lovely readers who have read this far a prosperous and happy 2025.
Happy 520!
