Hearing the Xu family and Old Lady Chen talking back and forth, completely disregarding them, the Qi family felt quite uncomfortable. However, considering the benefits of forming a marriage alliance with the Xu family, they held back. Besides, there was still Shen Can waiting for them to rescue.
Xu Zexi knew that this was trouble he had brought to his family, so he said, "I have received your thanks. That's enough. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank the person who actually saved the life."
Qi's mother was smart. She felt that continuing to argue like this would only annoy the Xu family. It would be better to go home and teach her daughter how to win over Xu Zexi in the shortest amount of time.
Moreover, Xu Zexi's family visit leave is limited, and it's hard to say what will happen if he misses it.
The working relationship between Shen's mother and father has brought many benefits to the Qi family. Qi's mother wants to have a good relationship with both sides and not give up either one. In this way, the Shen family can also be her support after Qi Lian marries into the Xu family.
Looking sincerely at the Xu family, Mother Qi said, "We will remember those who saved my daughter and thank them one by one. This is what we should do. In fact, we already visited several families yesterday. Thank you so much, Comrade Xu. You are all good children. These are just some things from our own home and are not worth much money. We hope you can accept them."
Qi's mother handed the things to Xu Zexi.
Xu Zexi looked at the items and saw that they were indeed things made by the farmers themselves. He reached out and took them.
Xu Zexi: "We've accepted the items, and this matter is over. The rescue will be reported in the newspaper in a few days."
Xu Zexi just wanted to make it clear to them not to try and cling to him.
Qi's mother forced a smile and pulled Qi Lian, who was still staring blankly at Xu Zexi, out of the room.
As the man left the courtyard, Old Mrs. Chen spat behind him and said, "What kind of person is he! Just because he's a good-looking man, he wants to climb up to her without even considering whether he's good enough for her. Sister-in-law, you have to keep an eye on Xiao Xi and not let those shameless hussies take advantage of her. Marrying a wife is the most important thing. If you don't marry well, it will bring disaster to three generations. Your second son's wife is the best example of that."
Old Mrs. Chen really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics. The person that Old Mrs. Xu had almost forgotten was brought up again by Old Mrs. Chen, and her heart felt heavy again.
Yao Dahai tugged at Old Lady Chen from below, reminding her to watch her words.
Old Mrs. Chen had no idea what Yao Dahai meant. She twisted her body and kicked Yao Dahai indignantly, scolding, "You old fool, what are you pulling?"
Xu Zexi couldn't help but laugh out loud, then carried the things to Grandma Xu, affectionately putting his arm around her, and joked, "My third son has already set a goal for me. I will definitely work hard to bring back a kind-hearted fairy, but this goal is a bit too big, Grandma, you can't rush me when the time comes!"
Grandma Xu was amused by her eldest grandson. She patted Xu Zexi's hand and said with a smile, "What's with all this talk about fairies? As long as you can live a good life, that's all that matters."
The Qi family heard everything Old Lady Chen said clearly. Qi's mother even turned around and glanced at Old Lady Chen. She bit her lip and cursed Old Lady Chen fiercely in her heart.
Wang Yanping was arrested, and his home was searched on the spot. They found the things he had taken from Old Master Mu's study. Unfortunately, he didn't know that these things were worthless.
Old Master Mu had been on guard ever since he received Mu Jingheng's warning. There was actually a secret room in the study where Old Master Mu kept his important things.
Wang Yanping's arrest caught Shen Yuqin and the Shen family completely off guard, plunging them into panic.
Since Shen Yuqin was Wang Yanping's wife and came from the Mu family, she was taken away along with Wang Yanping.
The Shen family didn't know why Wang Yanping and Shen Yuqin had been taken away, so they wanted to ask the Mu family for help. However, the sentries wouldn't let them through, so they could only go to Mu Jingshu's school to look for her.
In fact, when they were planning to close the net, the Mu family had already considered Mu Jingshu's situation. On the day before the arrest, Mu Jingheng asked Jiang Juecheng to send Mu Jingshu to Xujia Village.
When Mu Jingshu learned that he was going to the place where his second brother was sent to work in the countryside, he was extremely excited and even dragged Aunt Tong to the department store to buy a lot of gifts for the Xu family.
Since Mu Jingshu was going out, Mu Zhenting was generous and gave her a lot of money and tickets, letting her decide for herself to buy gifts for the Xu family.
This was the first time in Mu Jingshu's life that she had so much money. She had to admit how joyful it was to shop so extravagantly. She could suddenly understand the feeling that Xu Xinning had when she went shopping.
Luckily, Aunt Tong was with her, otherwise she would have bought all the things she liked to eat.
In the end, apart from the food, Aunt Tong helped pick out most of the other gifts.
Children who are quick-witted and love to eat are actually not reliable at all.
With Wang Yanping captured, Mu Jingheng had accomplished most of the purpose of his trip to Kyoto. Now, he needed to deal with the hidden threats.
For Mu Jingheng, who has a spatial ability, dealing with these people is not difficult. The difficulty lies in how to prevent them from turning the tables without harming innocent people.
That evening, Mu Jingheng went to the space to see Xu Xinning. He told her everything that had happened after Xu Xinning left, including the fact that the project assisted by William had already started.
Since receiving treatment from Xu Xinning, William has become even more fascinated with Chinese culture. He asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help him find a Chinese teacher to learn Chinese language and history, and he even started studying traditional Chinese medicine.
When Xu Xinning rushed home, she asked Old Man Ouyang to help give William acupuncture.
William was talkative, and Old Man Ouyang was very curious. The two became friends, and William learned traditional Chinese medicine from Old Man Ouyang.
Old Man Ouyang asked him to recite the herbal formulas and identify medicinal herbs every day, and he completed them very diligently.
The two people couldn't speak the same language and communicated entirely through primitive body language.
This was something Xu Xinning hadn't expected; a cunning businessman and a stubborn, obstinate, yet simple old man could actually get along so well.
Xu Zexi delivered the article about the rescue to the county newspaper on the very day the Qi family came to visit.
The county newspaper had a relatively low entry barrier, and due to the harshness imposed on writers by the turbulent social phenomena, there were not many people in the newspaper who could actually write articles. Every day, the newspaper reported on some flashy but impractical things. When the newspaper received the article with photos from Xu Zexi, the editor was overjoyed and immediately arranged a large page to report on the matter.
Xu Zexi was a little confused. He knew he was a good writer and his articles had been published in military newspapers, but he didn't expect to be given such a large space.
But this is good, because all the important photos he took can be used now.
