Zhang Jianguo's eyelids were about to twitch, and without any 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? Let me heat it up for you..."
Zhang Lan suppressed the smile that was about to come out of her mouth, gave her daughter a soothing look, and then carried the basin out of the door.
No! She can’t hold it any longer…
She 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 into 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!"
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 we finish eating!"
Old man Qiao did not ask Zhang Jianguo and his wife why they came to his mother's house so late at night.
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 he will be cheated sooner or later? !
Zhang Jianguo opened his mouth several times without giving up, but was blocked by Old Man Qiao every time with a laugh.
After getting a hint from her mother, Qiao Xin felt calm and 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 with your eldest brother to enjoy the cool air!"
Old man Zhang lit a cigarette by the kerosene lamp and squinted at Zhang Jianguo.
"It's so hot today. It's impossible to sleep unless it's cool enough at night!"
"They... probably won't be here for a while..."
"Why do you have something to do with her?"
"Something's going on! Something's going on..."
Zhang Jianguo nodded hurriedly, "It's still our family's business..."
I looked at my wife with gratitude. Finally I have come to this point. It has not been easy!
"Your family's matter? Have you moved the grave?"
Old man Qiao pretended to be ignorant and asked, what great acting skills!
“Not moved…”
Zhang Jianguo smiled bitterly.
"No? Didn't my father-in-law personally invite Zhou Guizi? This is just a simple matter for him, how can it be so difficult!"
Old Man Qiao had also heard of Zhou Guizi's name. Although he didn't have Song Ning's words to reassure him, he was still curious why Zhou Guizi 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 hire someone else..."
Zhang Jianguo bowed to Old Man Qiao and said, "I know what happened this afternoon. It was my father's fault!"
"Please, for the sake of our in-laws, please save my family's lives..."
Bang…
Old man Qiao didn't hold him back, and Zhang Jianguo kowtowed so honestly that a spot on his forehead suddenly turned red.
Qiao Xin was also startled. She 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 run 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 quickly get Song Ning and Qiao Bo here..."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hearing 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 Landun to find someone!
"Oh no! Who knew they would run away? Where can we find them in the middle of the night?"
Zhang Lan threw the spatula on the table and hurriedly tried to pick up 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!
Otherwise, the Oscars owe the old man and his wife a little golden man!
This acting is really top-notch!
It is said that after his son and daughter-in-law went out, Old Man Zhang became more and more scared the more he thought about it.
He was worried about his elder brother who was in the hospital and worried about Song Ning's refusal to help their family...
The whole person is almost going crazy!
"I said his father... please stop talking nonsense 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 the boy's uncle say?"
When Old Man Zhang went to the town to hire someone in the afternoon, he also went to the town hospital.
His eldest brother was really dying and was holding on with only one breath left.
After coming out of the town hospital, Old Man Zhang did not dare to delay for a second before asking for help from the Feng Shui master.
Who would have thought that they all agreed to it 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 his father, panicked and made an appointment with Old Man Zhang to go to the Feng Shui master.
I don't know what's going on over there now?
"How is it?! I guess no one was invited..."
Old man Zhang's face turned pale, and he felt vaguely regretful for what he had done that afternoon.
"Jianguo and his wife... have been together for quite some time! Why haven't they come 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 I have never been soft to anyone in my life.
When he was young, he left the village in disgrace because his aunt said a few unpleasant words to him, and never contacted his uncle's family again.
This time he handled the affairs of his in-laws in an unkind manner. 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 scared away. It makes no sense that Qiao Bo's wife couldn't see anything..."
"Do you think it could be that...she didn't want to know about it at first, but wanted to know about it later?"
The more Old Man Zhang thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, and he suddenly couldn't sit still anymore!
"No! I have to go to my in-laws' place..."
As Old Man Zhang spoke, 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 busy at home, so I can't use it for the time being."
"Find the kid next door to hang out with you, be careful!"
Old man Zhang nodded randomly a few times, then dragged his lame leg and hurriedly went 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 be overwhelmed, he was brought 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 the group quickly went home.
"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 affairs..."
"relatives by marriage…"
