Zhao Xingmei was in the kitchen waving a spatula and cooking dinner, while Yang Daxian and You Aicong, mother and daughter, were leisurely drinking tea in the house.
Wang Sha glanced towards the door, then gave her mother You Aicong a thumbs up: "It has to be you!"
You Aicong showed a proud expression, and she said to Wang Sha: "When your mother was young, she had a nickname. Do you know what it was?"
"What?"
"Ghost-seeing!"
Yang Daxian burst into laughter: "Shasha, your mother is not an ordinary person! Before she got married, she controlled your uncles completely. After she got married, she controlled your grandmother. After she became a mother-in-law, she controlled her daughter-in-law! Your mother is really amazing!"
"I'm so grateful to my mother!" Wang Sha laughed.
"Just wait and see. Mom will definitely make sure you stop speaking so arrogantly in this Jiang family! What Ye Li? Get out of the way! As long as my daughter is here, she should make way for my daughter!"
"Thank you, Mom! You've worked so hard!"
...
...
You Aicong glanced at her and curled his lips: "You've worked hard, and that's it? I haven't been there to take care of your sister-in-law these days, so what can your father and your brother do? It's okay if it's a short time, but if it's a long time, won't they be dissatisfied? So, your sister-in-law likes a pair of leather shoes, and when your brother comes again, you can give him some money and let him buy a pair of shoes for your sister-in-law to please her."
Wang Sha readily agreed: "Okay, I'll ask Jiang Rui for money later!"
"That's right!"
Zhao Xingmei prepared the meal and put it on the table. Family members also came back one after another.
Jiang Jingshan sat in the main seat. He was in a good mood today and asked Jiang Xi to get him some wine. He wanted to drink two cups of wine.
Jiang Xi opened the cabinet and took a look: "Dad, where is the wine? I remember you finished drinking it last time, right?"
"Done it?" Jiang Jingshan was a little disappointed. "Oh, I finished it all. I forgot about it."
Jiang Rui laughed and said, "Dad, are you craving for wine again?"
"Yeah, can't I?"
"Sure, why not? When are you going to buy some wine? I'll take advantage of that and have a couple of drinks." Jiang Rui said shamelessly.
"You want to get my wine for free? Why don't you buy it for me? You have no conscience!" Jiang Jingshan cursed twice.
"Dad, we...we have a child now, and all the money is spent on this," Jiang Rui defended himself.
"You won't buy me wine even though I don't have a child!"
Wang Sha was unhappy when she heard this and her face drooped.
Zhao Xingmei was serving rice. She saw her daughter-in-law looked unhappy and raised her hand to push Jiang Jingshan twice. "Enough of you. You just drink all day long! Where did you get your money from? You only know how to buy wine! Do you know that if Jiang Xun hadn't brought these things back today, our family wouldn't have enough living expenses for this month!"
"It's only the beginning of the month..." Jiang Jingshan looked up at You Aicong and saw that the old man seemed to be deaf and pretended to be stupid. "Can't you save money? It's only the beginning of the month and you have no money. Are you going to starve in the middle and end of the month?"
You Aicong laughed dryly twice: "Are you trying to drive me away?"
Zhao Xingmei was afraid that the old woman would ruin Wang Sha's mood again, so she said hurriedly, "How could that be? Don't listen to this old woman! He only knows how to drink!"
You Aicong smiled and said, "I guess it's not that you want to drive me away."
Jiang Jingshan: “…”
"Okay, don't be unhappy. Your son Jiang Xun has gone to buy some wine and will be back soon!" Zhao Xingmei put the food in front of Jiang Jingshan, "Eat first!"
"It has to be my eldest son!" Jiang Jingshan took a bite of the steamed bun and looked towards the door. "How long have you been gone? When will you be back?"
"Ouch!" Zhao Xingmei calculated the time. "It's been almost an hour since he left. Why hasn't he come back yet? Did something happen on the way?"
"Mom, don't worry. How old is my brother? How could anything go wrong?" Jiang Xi interrupted.
You Aicong picked up a piece of fish for Yang Daxian with chopsticks: "Daxian, you eat first! I'll buy the wine later, and then we can have a few more drinks!"
Yang Daxian agreed repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
It was not a wasted trip today. I could drink and eat meat, and I would get money later. Yang Daxian was very happy.
She picked up the piece of fish and was about to put it in her mouth to taste it when she heard the door being pushed open. She looked back and saw Jiang Xun coming back after going out to buy wine.
"Brother, didn't you go to buy some wine? Where's the wine?" You Aicong had sharp eyes. The moment Jiang Xun walked in, she stared at his hands.
Then I saw that his hands were empty, without anything in them.
Jiang Xun didn't say anything. He turned sideways and let the person outside in. "Comrade police, please come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, in front of the family's astonished gaze, three or five policemen filed in and filled the originally small room.
"This...what are you doing, Jiang Xun?" Zhao Xingmei slowly stood up.
Jiang Xun did not answer. He raised his hand and pointed at Yang Daxian: "Police comrade, it's her! She was the one who came to my house to promote feudal superstition, and she's a repeat offender!"
"Yang Dani, is that you?" The leading policeman pointed at her and said, "Get up and follow us!"
The fish on Yang Daxian's chopsticks fell into the plate with a thud. She was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She threw the chopsticks away hastily, stood up and said, "Oh, police comrades, you are wrong. I am not engaged in any feudal superstitious activities. It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? We are old acquaintances, right? How many times have you been in prison? We don't need to tell you, right? Let's go!" The police waved at her, "Do you want to go with us on your own initiative? Or do we take you away?"
"No, no!" You Aicong stood up quickly and said, "This is all a misunderstanding... We are not engaging in feudal superstition activities. We just said it casually. We all know that this is wrong. How could we possibly do it?"
Jiang Xun pointed at Wang Sha and said, "There is a necklace made of yellow talismans hanging around her neck. That is the evidence!"
Sure enough, the police found it during the search.
"What else do you have to say in the face of evidence?" asked the police.
Yang Dani had nothing to say and could only admit that she was unlucky: "This... Hey, let's go, I'll go with you! How long are you staying this time? Three months? Or five months?"
The police officer chuckled and said, "Let's calculate it in years this time."
Yang Daxian was taken out and no one else dared to speak.
You Aicong also kept his mouth shut, fearing that he would be implicated.
Jiang Xun glanced at her and said, "She was invited by Aunt You, so she must have been deceived! Moreover, she firmly believes that the lies said by Yang Daxian are true, and we can't persuade her."
The police officer understood: "Aunt You, right? Come on! Come back with us to cooperate with the investigation? Receive some education and some knowledge!"
You Aicong panicked: "No, no, no, I can't leave! Are you going to lock me up? I can't go with you, I can't leave..."
