"Young Master Xue, wait a moment, let me finish!" Guo Wan grabbed Xue Qianyu's arm.
Xue Qianyu turned around impatiently and stared coldly at Guo Wan's hand on his arm.
Suddenly, he grabbed Guo Wan by the collar with his other hand and lifted her up: "If you can't understand human language, I can send you to listen to ghost language!"
Guo Wan was so frightened by being lifted up that she forgot to struggle.
Xue Qianyu continued, "I have a short temper, so don't show your face in front of me, or I'll definitely send you to see a ghost next time!"
After saying that, Xue Qianyu threw Guo Wan to the ground, turned around and went to the toilet entrance to wash his hands. Then, without even looking at Guo Wan, who was lying on the ground in shock, he returned to the private room.
Lu Zheng looked at Xue Qianyu with a smile.
Xue Qianyu sneered, "I didn't expect you to get so lame! Embarrassing!"
Lu Zheng: "I've always been inferior to you!"
Xue Qianyu continued eating without expression.
Gu Shouxin glanced at the two men. Hmm, perhaps because he had met them more often, the fair-faced waiter seemed more pleasing to the eye compared to the dark-faced waiter.
Guo Wan didn't come in again after that. She asked the waiter to come in and tell Qin Shi and Gu Sangu that she was going back first because she had accidentally gotten her clothes dirty.
Neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law thought much of it.
Guo Wan was genuinely terrified by Xue Qianyu's murderous expression. She returned home distraught, collapsed into bed, and had nightmares that night, her mind filled with Xue Qianyu's expressionless face and his words about sending her to meet the ghosts.
...
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Gu family returned to the village.
Before the emperor's affairs were finished, Lu Zheng gave the key to Xue Qianyu and went back to the village with him.
Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to go with them, but she didn't know how many days the Emperor would be delayed, so she held back. Besides, she wanted to stay in the prefectural city for a few days. When she was still a princess, her prince's fiefdom was in this direction, and the local customs were similar to those of Qingzhou.
Back in the village, it was past noon. Some villagers were taking a nap, while others were resting in their yards. There was plenty of work to be done in the fields this season.
Lu Zheng got off the bus at his own doorstep at the village entrance. He planned to rest for a bit, change his clothes, and then go find his uncle to go to the fields.
At the entrance of the old house, Gu Shouxin helped carry the purchased items inside.
At the entrance to the main room, Uncle Gu was leaning against the wall, snoring with his hands outstretched.
"Dad, why are you sleeping here?" Gu Hui patted him awake. If he slept sitting up like this, he wouldn't feel comfortable when he got up.
"Stop fooling around, you brat!" Uncle Gu muttered.
Grandma Gu paused, walked over, and kicked Uncle Gu, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Ouch!" Uncle Gu finally came to his senses.
No one understood why Grandma Gu suddenly kicked someone, and her face looked extremely angry.
"Where are your wife and Renzi?" Grandma Gu asked in a deep voice.
"Wife? Wife went back to her parents' home. Renzi, Renzi, wasn't it me who was holding her...holding her?" Uncle Gu slowly lowered his head, and looked, where did Renren go?
"You damned idiot, I knew you fell asleep holding the baby, why aren't you going to go find him!" Grandma Gu understood when she saw him like this, this idiot had lost the baby again.
"Huihui, go check with your maternal grandmother. Is your mother holding Renzi?" Grandma Gu instructed again.
"Yes, yes, it must have been his mother who took him!" Uncle Gu stood up and said with lingering fear.
"What nonsense! Why don't you go find her now! You used to sit here with Huihui in your arms, but what happened that day? Don't you remember?" Grandma Gu slapped him on the shoulder.
