Following Xu Xiatian's gaze, he immediately saw Jiang's mother standing not far behind the house, weeding beside her brother's grave.
In fact, my younger brother Jiang Yukang’s grave is very clean, with hardly any grass around it.
Jiang's mother still got used to going there to check on her every day.
Jiang Yuming couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
Then he called Lin Xi and his wife and walked towards the small hill behind the house.
On the way over there, he thought of something and didn't forget to whisper it to his wife.
"Don't say that in front of Mom, or she'll be mad at you again."
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a major problem since ancient times, and perhaps the identities of the two are really just naturally incompatible.
In short, Jiang Yuming couldn't understand it. Whether it was his wife Xu Xiatian or his mother, both of them had different temperaments and personalities when viewed separately, but for some reason, they just couldn't get along.
His wife Xu Xiatian felt that her mother-in-law was indifferent to her and even a little biased towards her.
Mother Xu felt that her daughter-in-law Xu Xiatian did not know how to be filial to her and did not take her seriously.
In short, both of them have their own reasons.
Jiang Yuming had no idea how many words he had spoken to both sides, but the relationship between the two was still average. Later on, he was too lazy to persuade them anymore. As long as they were getting along on the surface, it was fine.
Xu Xiatian came here today for serious matters, so of course she wouldn't argue with her mother-in-law.
Of course, they didn't really argue much in normal times. Their relationship was just average, and she would do what she had to do and wouldn't embarrass anyone for the sake of face.
Lin Xi listened to it twice, but didn't think much about it.
After all, it’s nothing new that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious, so just treat it as some gossip.
Strictly speaking, Xu Xiatian and her mother-in-law at least didn't have any weird or worldview-shattering things happen. Lin Xi had even seen the mother-in-law, in order to prevent her daughter-in-law from having a comfortable life, knock on the door desperately when the couple was being intimate, and then run into the couple's room and sleep on the floor!
I can only say that some of these weird things are even more exaggerated than what is described in novels and TV dramas.
When he arrived near his younger brother Jiang Yukang's grave, Jiang Yuming called out "Mom".
Only then did Jiang's mother realize that they had arrived and looked surprised.
"It's not holiday time yet, why are you guys here all of a sudden?"
Today is a working day, and Jiang Yuming and Xu Xiatian should both go to work.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuming frowned and quickly told his mother what he had dreamed about in the past few days.
Then he introduced Lin Xi to Jiang's mother, saying that this was the master they specially invited.
When she heard the word "Master", Jiang's mother's eyes flashed silently, and then she looked at Lin Xi.
Seeing that Lin Xi was so young, Jiang's mother pulled Jiang Ming aside and advised earnestly, "Boss, is the master you're looking for reliable? Is there really such a young master? Don't be fooled."
"It's not easy for you to earn money at work. There are so many scammers these days, you have to be careful! You and Xia Tian are still young, and you will definitely have another child. You must save the little money you have for your next child."
"Besides, if you really wanted to help Xinxin solve this problem, why didn't you tell me earlier and let me find someone for you? I've lived for so many centuries and have eaten more salt than you have. I can definitely find you a great master!"
Jiang's mother's words and deeds were full of doubts about Lin Xi'er, thinking that she was not trustworthy, and she kept persuading Jiang Mingming to let her do this.
Jiang Yuming didn't think much about it and just thought his mother was thinking about him.
He glanced at Lin Xi awkwardly, lowered his voice and was about to explain that he had specially sought out the master, Lin Xi, who was very capable.
Before he could finish his words, he heard Lin Xi say from a distance.
"No matter how unreliable he is, he should still be more reliable than someone like you who plotted against his own granddaughter, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Plotting against your own granddaughter?
What does this mean? !
Xu Xiatian was the first to come to his senses and subconsciously asked Lin Xi.
"Master, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Jiang Ming's mother was responsible for Xinxin's misfortune?!"
Xu Xiatian's face was full of disbelief.
Jiang Yuming was also startled and subconsciously looked at his mother, but saw that his mother's face was very ugly and she looked angry.
She retorted loudly.
"What are you talking about, you little brat! What do you mean I'm plotting against my own granddaughter? Xinxin, I didn't kill you. She was hit and killed on the road while trying to save a puppy. What does it have to do with me? Stop spouting nonsense here, or I'll have my son beat you up!"
Jiang Yuming also felt that this matter was strange. On one hand, the master was introduced by a friend, and on the other hand, he was his own mother.
Besides, Xinxin is his mother's granddaughter, and his mother loves Xinxin very much. It is impossible for her to do anything to hurt Xinxin.
The most important thing is that Xinxin did die in a car accident, and his mother was still in his hometown at the time, so this matter definitely has nothing to do with his mother.
Only Xu Xiatian.
When he saw Lin Xi's mocking eyes, he felt a strong intuition in his heart for some reason.
Her intuition told her that Lin Xi was not lying.
She asked Lin Xi anxiously.
"Master, what on earth is going on? Do you see anything?"
Lin Xi didn't keep Xu Xiatian in suspense and gestured to the grave beside him.
Next to him is the grave of Xu Xiatian's brother-in-law, Jiang Yuming's younger brother, Jiang Yukang.
This grave has been well taken care of. There is not even a trace of weeds. The tombstone is also spotless. It is obvious that someone comes to wipe the dust every day.
But Xu Xiatian looked around and didn't find anything wrong.
Lin Xi pointed to the empty space in front of the tombstone and reminded her, "There's an extra bowl here."
In front of the tombstone is where offerings are usually placed and incense and candles are lit.
Because the mother-in-law has always loved her brother-in-law, there is never a lack of incense and offerings in front of his grave. Every time they come, they will see the freshest offerings placed in front of the brother-in-law's grave, and they are all some of the brother-in-law's favorite foods.
This time was no exception. Xu Xiatian saw that his brother-in-law liked to eat roast duck, water chestnuts and other items.
Because all these things could not fit on one plate, three plates were placed in front of the tombstone, and there was an empty bowl right in front of the tombstone.
Lin Xi pointed at a small bowl placed in the corner of the pile of things.
The small bowl looked ordinary. Not only was it smaller than the rice bowl in the middle, but it was also a bit dirty, as if it was just a dirty bowl picked up at random.
As if seeing Xu Xiatian's confusion, Lin Xi explained, "There's only your uncle in this grave, so only one bowl would be enough. But there's an extra bowl here, which is obviously to feed another ghost."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiatian and Jiang Yuming hadn't reacted yet, but Jiang's mother screamed loudly like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"You're talking nonsense! What do you mean by one more ghost to eat? It's obvious that I just gave my son an extra empty bowl and asked him to drink soup!"
"Yes, my son has had to drink soup with his meals since he was young. Even though this bowl is empty, it's because I forgot to fill it with soup!"
