After returning to the mountain villa, Shangguan Wenyan began to build the pigsty. The three members of the Ma family watched without offering any help, which made Shangguan Wenyan feel very upset.
But looking into Ma Lihua's bright, big eyes, she held back.
"What is my mother's mother called? My mother's mother is called Grandma..." Ma Linghua's phone rang after a long time.
Looking at the caller ID, she saw it was Zhongguo and answered the call.
"Zhongguo, what's the matter?"
"Linghua, I have something to tell you. Fa Gui's company is moving to Kyoto. We're not staying in Jiangcheng anymore. Everyone in the family is starting to relocate their businesses, but the five boys in the family aren't leaving for the time being."
"Oh! Go to Kyoto then! Those five good-for-nothings can go wherever they want, no need to tell me that."
Li Zhongguo: "…………………………"
"Is there anything else?" Ma Linghua asked again.
"Hehe! Linghua, it's nothing, I just missed you a bit." As he said this, his old face turned red with embarrassment, which made Li Fagui, who was standing next to him, feel a chill.
"Hey! I'm in my seventies or eighties, aren't I ashamed?" That's what she said, but her face was beaming with joy.
Thinking of something, Ma Linghua said, "Isn't your hometown Kyoto? Going back now is like returning to your roots. You've suffered so much following me all these years."
“Linghua, no, if I hadn’t met you in this life, I, Li Zhongguo, might be dead. So, it’s my fault for not letting you live a good life.” Li Zhongguo sighed.
"You know that's all. If it weren't for me supporting you and those two good-for-nothings, you'd be eating dirt by now!"
Li Zhongguo: "…………………………"
They were having a nice chat when Linghua's expression suddenly changed; no one knew what had triggered it.
Ma Linghua felt indignant at the thought of this. Not only did the woman have nothing when she married into the family, but she also had to be taught how to do housework and farm work. She was very busy during that time.
Sigh! He's finally made it through, and at least he's somewhat useful. He's managed to train his son-in-law very well, serving as the second-in-command.
Putting everything else aside, she's skilled at everything from laundry and cooking to feeding chickens, dogs, ducks, and pigs. It's just that her son-in-law looks like a vixen; if she weren't watching over him, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
Li Fagui: "…………………………"
No? Is it my fault that an honest person like me is good-looking? You've really misunderstood him, okay?
Thinking about it, Li Fagui also wanted to call his wife.
"By the way, Linghua, I received a phone call the day before yesterday from the Northeast. It said that the sorceress from Eagle Village introduced you to go and catch a ghost!"
He dared not forget this matter; if it were a matter of life and death, he would be guilty.
The sound of the osmanthus blossoms was quite clear through the amplified speakers.
Did you give them my phone number?
"They gave it to you and said they would call you, but I don't know if they actually did." Li Zhongguo was a little puzzled. They had given him their phone number, so he didn't know why they hadn't called.
"Alright, I understand. Oh, and when you leave with your son-in-law, remember to step over the fire basin, spit, and tie a willow branch around your waist. Take it off when you get to the capital." She solemnly instructed.
"Okay, I've got it all written down, Linghua, I..."
He was hung up on before he could finish speaking, leaving him feeling empty. Couldn't they have just let him finish what he was saying?
My son-in-law was just here! Where did he go?
"Lotus, did you miss me?" Li Fagui was thinking about his wife, so he immediately called Lotus.
"I do miss it, but we haven't seen each other for a month, so it's not that I miss it that much."
Li Fagui: "…………………………"
Never mind, he'll just listen to the first few sentences.
"Fa Gui, your hometown is also Kyoto, right? Are your father and mother still alive?"
Li Fagui: "……………………"
“I’m alive! What’s wrong? Do you want to come home with me to see my parents?” Li Fagui asked cautiously.
"What? Go see your parents?" After thinking about it, she felt it wasn't impossible, so she said, "Let's wait until next year! Next year when there's a pig for the New Year, I'll bring Pear Blossom and my mother to visit your parents."
Li Fagui: "???"
No, why bring his mother-in-law along? He can understand if Pear Blossom goes, but why his mother?
"How about it? Not saying anything now? Are you overjoyed?" Lotus looked smug. It was a blessing for them that her mother could go up and see her.
Li Fagui: "…………………………"
I'm terrified!
"Oh right, it's getting late, I have to go practice! If you don't need anything else, I'll hang up." She's been feeling really frustrated lately from practicing boxing.
"Lotus, I heard from Dad that you're in Yunnan. Should we tidy up the house? Should we ask Er Mao to come and help you?"
"What are you packing for! We're going to be in Yunnan for five years, so you don't need to ask Er Mao to take care of things. Instead, use your time to practice your cooking skills! Let me tell you, the men in these mountains are really good cooks." She smacked her lips as she finished speaking.
Li Fagu's alarm blared, "Lotus, what kind of man is he? How old is he? What does he look like? Is he married?"
"Why ask so many questions? Okay, I'm hanging up now. It's almost lunchtime, I don't have time to talk anymore." Ma Hehua hung up the phone briskly.
Seeing Shangguan Wenyan washing his hands after the pigsty was built, he figured he was going to cook for them.
Shangguan Wenyan: "……………………"
All you do is eat, you don't help at all, you just eat rice for free.
