[You guys are kidding me, this is ridiculous.]
[Although this sounds ridiculous, I'm willing to testify because last year when I went back to my hometown, I attended a banquet where the excuse was that "the old ox at home had given birth to a calf."]
【???】
[The world is so big, and there are so many strange things. Big brother, please take good care of your wallet when you go back home for the New Year this year.]
[Alas, I've been away from home all year, being a grandson. When I get home, I spend all the little money I have visiting relatives.]
"How much money do favors cost at wedding banquets nowadays?" Ji Yu asked curiously.
[A family earns 500 yuan. A few years ago, even 200 yuan was considered a lot. Now everything has gone up, except wages.]
[Yes, I remember when I was a kid, it was always 100 or 200 yuan, but now it's 500 or more, and some even give 1,000 yuan. Anyway, the amount of money given out as favors is getting higher and higher, and it's unbearable. If you don't leave, they'll say you don't appreciate favors. It's really annoying.]
"Just lie down. After all, there doesn't seem to be much need for us to interact with someone who can come up with such an outrageous excuse. One less person won't make anything less."
[That's true, but the older generation doesn't agree. We young people don't want to leave anyway.]
While people were still complaining in the live broadcast room, Ji Yu also found the next private message.
"Is the person with the ID 'Mei Yangyang' here?"
[Mei Yangyang: Who stole this ID, Mei Yangyang? Ahhhhh, it made me add a long string of numbers after it.]
[Meiyangyang: Sorry, it’s me.]
"Could you please send me your birth date and time? What you want to calculate is... uh..." Ji Yu pursed her lips. Shen Tianchen leaned over curiously, his bright eyes widening.
"Ahem, this friend with the ID Meiyangyang wants to choose between Zhang Jia and Li Yi as her boyfriend."
What kind of name is this? Who would really give their son a name like this?
[Meiyangyang: This is the code name given by Sister Ji Yu.]
"Aren't these two your boyfriends?"
Ji Yu’s words and the news about “Mei Yangyang” appeared at the same time.
"How can I put it? My sister is so considerate and kind. Those two people's names really need to have code names, otherwise you'll be in trouble in a minute."
Mei Yangyang: Yes, so Sister Ji Yu is really nice. I recommend everyone to come to her for fortune-telling. So, Sister Ji Yu, should I choose A or B? I feel like they both treat me well.
"So you wanted both, didn't you? Why are you choosing between the two now?"
[Meiyangyang: It's because they both want to go with me to meet my parents during the Chinese New Year. I can't possibly bring both of them back with me, right? That's not fair.]
【Hiss, it's obvious what a scumbag he is.】
Mei Yangyang: Sister Ji Yu, which one should I keep? One is very considerate to me, and I like that one very much. The other is very overbearing, and makes me feel like I'm reading a domineering CEO novel. I like that too. It's really hard to choose.
Ji Yumu said with a dull face, "You don't have to choose. Soon both of them will dump you."
Mei Yangyang: What? You dare to dump me!
"Two people told you at the same time that they were going to meet your parents because they discovered you were two-timing. They still had some doubts, but they may no longer have them. My friend, you will have a surprise when you look back."
"Mei Yangyang" turned around and saw two big men standing there behind her. She laughed awkwardly and wished she could find a piece of tofu to bump into them on the spot.
Ji Yu cleared some private messages in succession, rubbed his brows, and then ended the live broadcast. The people in the live broadcast room were reluctant to leave.
She looked up at the car exiting the highway and asked doubtfully, "Are we there yet?"
According to the time, it should not have arrived yet.
Shen Baizhou shook his head: "No, I'm hungry."
He drove the car directly to a five-star hotel, repaired it briefly, and then carried Shen Tianchen into the driver's seat.
"It's your turn to open."
They drove all the way until midnight and arrived in Feng County.
The county town is not very wealthy, and the most upscale hotel is only four-star.
After getting off the car, it was a bit chilly outside. Looking at Shen Tianchen who was freezing like a dog, Ji Yu smiled and put a warming talisman on his forehead.
The heat immediately spread from his forehead to his whole body. Shen Tianchen blinked in amazement, tore off the talisman and stuck it on his back, feeling warm all over.
"Sister Ji Yu, I finally understand why you only wear a windbreaker outside. It's so warm."
"The enhanced version, also called the pro version, can last for three months."
Shen Baizhou kicked Shen Tianchen's luggage to his legs, then walked towards the hotel lobby with a suitcase in each hand.
Shen Tianchen twitched his eyes, and kept patting his heart and said: "This is my uncle, this is my uncle, I'm used to it, I'm used to it."
After letting out a long breath, he dragged his luggage and followed the two men.
As soon as I entered the lobby, an old man in a gray robe and jacket walked over. He was the man who delivered the letter to Ji Yu that day.
"Young lady, you will indeed stay here."
Shen Tianchen stood aside and muttered: “Why don’t you know to wait for my sister at each station.”
The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Of course we have people guarding it, but we have also sent people to guard every hotel in the county. Miss, do you plan to go there tonight, or do you plan to rest here for the night?"
"Of course...I'll go there tonight."
Ji Yu smirked and said, "My grandmother is my only relative since I was little. I'm really curious about my grandfather whom I've never met."
"Hahaha, the master is old and not feeling well. Come with me in the car, young lady."
The car drove for another hour. Shen Tianchen could no longer hold on and fell asleep leaning on his uncle's shoulder. It was very quiet along the way. Ji Yu squinted his eyes and closed them to rest.
"Little Miss, we're here."
Ji Yu opened his eyes and saw the car door was opened. He stepped on the ground and got out of the car. What caught his eye was a tall gray wall, which was twice as high as the ordinary courtyard wall.
"This house is built like a cage."
Shen Tianchen rubbed his eyes, yawned and muttered softly.
"Come with me, everyone."
The suitcases of the three people had been pushed by others. They walked around in the house and finally stopped in a small courtyard.
"Young lady, you and your friend will rest here tonight. Tomorrow morning, the young master will be getting married in the courtyard. I hope you and your friend will be there."
"Okay." Ji Yu smiled with narrowed eyes.
The house was decorated with red lanterns and red "囍" characters everywhere. As it was almost daybreak, the kitchen was busy, but the whole house looked so lifeless.
Few of the people I met in the houses along the way had happy expressions on their faces. Instead, they all looked as if they had drunk a sip of bitter melon and coriander juice.
After the old housekeeper left, Shen Baizhou, who had remained silent, said, "This house has a very strong negative energy. This yard..."
Heavier.
