Zhang Jianguo's eyelids were about to cramp, and with no response from his wife and mother-in-law, he could only put down his chopsticks in embarrassment.
"Mom...this time..."
"Why did you put down your chopsticks? Is the meat cold? I'll go heat it up for you..."
Zhang Lan suppressed a smirk, gave her daughter a soothing look, and then carried the basin out the door.
No more! She can’t stand it any longer…
Let that old man Zhang look down on her daughter-in-law, he deserves to be anxious!
Zhang Lan opened her mouth several times, suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out, and went to the kitchen happily.
"Mom...are you...angry with me?"
After Zhang Lan left, Zhang Jianguo smiled dryly at Old Man Qiao.
"What are you upset about? Stop imagining things!"
Old man Qiao picked up a cup of tea and took a sip slowly.
"You've been busy all day, you must be tired! Let's eat first, and we can talk about anything after dinner!"
Old Man Qiao did not ask Zhang Jianguo and his wife why they came back to her parents' home so late.
The old woman repeatedly warned him not to ruin her daughter-in-law's plan. How could he dare not cooperate?
If he lets go today, do you believe that tomorrow morning or night he will be in trouble?!
Zhang Jianguo opened his mouth several times in despair, but was brushed off by Old Man Qiao with a laugh.
Qiao Xin got a hint from her mother and felt very calm. She cooperated with her father in talking about this and that, but she didn't mention the purpose of tonight.
Zhang Jianguo reached out and tugged at Qiao Xin's sleeve, implicitly making a life-saving gesture towards her.
Qiao Xin smiled and finally asked about Song Ning.
"Your sister-in-law? She went out to enjoy the cool air with your eldest brother!"
Old man Zhang lit a cigarette by the kerosene lamp and looked at Zhang Jianguo with squinted eyes.
"It's so hot today. It won't be cool at night. I can't sleep at all!"
"They... probably won't be back for a while..."
"Why do you have something to do with her?"
"Something's happening! Something's happening..."
Zhang Jianguo nodded hurriedly, "It's still our family's business..."
He looked at his wife with gratitude and finally said, "It's not easy!"
"Your family's affairs? Have you moved the grave?"
Old man Qiao pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What great acting skills!"
“No…”
Zhang Jianguo smiled bitterly.
"No? Didn't my father-in-law personally invite Zhou Guizi? This is just a simple matter for him. How could it be so difficult?"
Old Man Qiao had naturally heard of Zhou Cunzi's name. Although he had Song Ning's words to reassure him, he was still curious why Zhou Cunzi didn't dare to take the job?
"My father invited three Feng Shui masters this afternoon, but they shook their heads as soon as they saw our grave site..."
"Let us seek other talents..."
Zhang Jianguo bowed to Old Man Qiao and said, "I know what happened this afternoon. It's my father's fault!"
"Please, for the sake of our in-laws, please save my family's lives..."
Bang…
Old man Qiao failed to hold him back, and Zhang Jianguo kowtowed so much that a red patch suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Qiao Xin was also startled, and quickly got off the kang and reached out to pull Zhang Jianguo.
"Hey! You kid...why didn't you tell me such a big thing earlier?!"
Old man Qiao slapped his thigh suddenly, "Qiao An... Qiao An..."
"This wild child must have gone out to play again..."
After shouting a few times, no one answered, and Old Man Qiao sighed helplessly.
"Old lady... Old lady... Stop cooking and go find Song Ning and Qiao Bo..."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hearing the old man Qiao's shout, Zhang Lan ran over with a spatula.
Old man Qiao sighed and slowly repeated Zhang Jianguo's words to Zhang Lan.
Finally, he pretended to be anxious and asked Zhang Lan to find someone!
"Oh no! Who knew they'd run off to him? Where can we find him at this late hour?"
Zhang Lan threw the spatula onto the table and hurriedly reached for her apron, but the knot only got bigger.
Zhang Jianguo was so anxious that he wished he could do it himself.
He didn't realize that the old couple were showing off their acting skills in front of him!
It’s said that Oscar owes Mr. and Mrs. Joe a little golden statue!
This acting is amazing!
It is said that after Old Man Zhang and his son and daughter-in-law went out, he became more and more scared the more he thought about it.
He was worried about his elder brother who was in the hospital and his life was in danger. He was also worried that Song Ning would not help their family.
I'm almost going crazy!
"Hey, Dad... please don't come around in front of me. You're making me dizzy..."
Jianguo's mother looked much better and was sitting on the kang playing with Yuanyuan.
Seeing the old man dragging his lame leg around, she felt so sorry for him!
"What did his uncle say?"
When Old Man Zhang went to the town to hire someone in the afternoon, he also went to the town hospital.
His elder brother was really dying and was just hanging on with one breath.
After coming out of the town hospital, Old Man Zhang didn't dare to delay for a second and went to ask for help from a Feng Shui master.
Who would have thought that they all agreed before they saw his family’s grave, but after they saw his family’s grave, they ran away faster than each other!
Even though he didn't believe in it, his eldest nephew, who followed him under his father's orders, became panicked and agreed with Old Man Zhang to go and ask for help from a Feng Shui master separately.
Now I don't know what's going on over there?
"How is it?! I guess no one was invited..."
Old man Zhang's face turned pale, and he felt a little regretful about what he did in the afternoon.
"Jianguo and his wife... have been gone for quite some time! Why haven't they returned yet?"
Jianguo's mother didn't want to offend her old man, so she looked towards the door a few times and changed the subject.
I have been used to being strong all my life and have never been soft to anyone.
When he was young, because his aunt said a few unpleasant things to him, he returned to the village with a bare face and never contacted his uncle's family again.
This time he handled the affairs of his in-laws in an unkind way. Although Jianguo's mother was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say much.
"broken!"
Old man Zhang paused, "Could it be that Qiao Bo's wife doesn't want to come?"
"Those Feng Shui masters were all scared away. It makes no sense that Qiao Bo's wife couldn't see anything..."
"Do you think it's possible that...she didn't miss Mingqi at first, but started thinking about him after she returned?"
The more Old Man Zhang thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and he suddenly couldn't sit still anymore!
"No! I have to go to my in-laws' place..."
As Old Man Zhang said this, he put on his coat, picked up the kerosene lamp in the room and went out.
“Old man…”
Jianguo's mother knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only give the talisman that Song Ning left for her to Old Man Zhang.
"Take this talisman for now... I'm not going anywhere, so I won't need it for now."
"Find the kid next door to go with you, and be careful!"
Old man Zhang nodded randomly a few times, then dragged his lame leg and hurried to the next room.
Let’s talk about Zhang Lan.
She led Zhang Jianguo and deliberately walked around the village several times.
When the expression on Zhang Jianguo's face was about to collapse, he took him to Song Ning and Qiao Bo.
Song Ning secretly gave Zhang Lan a thumbs up. She and Old Man Qiao are really good at dragging things out!
It took much longer than she expected...
Zhang Lan shook her head proudly at Song Ning, so cocky!
It was not a good place to talk outside, so they all went home quickly.
"sister in law…"
Zhang Jianguo said with a worried look on his face, "Sister-in-law, please help me!"
"We still need your help with our family's affairs..."
"relatives by marriage…"
