Chapter 188 The Bai family is in pieces
Mr. Qi and Mother Xie looked at each other and smiled, seeming to have reached a consensus.
Mother Xie smiled kindly: "If Brother Qi doesn't go, I won't go either. He is left alone in the village. I will stay here with him. When the time comes, I will ask Erya and Dongchen to move in with him." Let's live together and be lively! If you miss me and Brother Qi, come back and live with us for a while."
His eyes fell on Xie Yunshu, and his tone became slightly harsher:
"You follow Manman, but you have to protect her. You know what? If there is anything wrong with Manman, I will not be the first to spare you!"
Xie Yunshu: "Mom, you really have double standards!"
Mother Xie pretended to be angry and glared at Xie Yunshu fiercely:
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard! If you, a grown man, can't protect your own wife, you are really a coward."
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Xie Yunshu being scolded, Qi Man smiled and rolled his eyes.
The family of four enjoyed breakfast happily.
After the couple had eaten and drank enough, they used space magic to leave Qingyun Village. No one knew that Qi Man and the others had been back today.
In comparison, the Bai family's experience was much more miserable.
Bai Jiao disappeared. Bai's mother didn't see her daughter who came to pay her respects early in the morning. She lost control of her emotions and cried and cursed. Just to see her daughter, she waited for nearly two hours but never saw her. The figure's heart couldn't bear the pressure, his eyes turned black, and he passed away.
Because he was not popular with the villagers, and because of the previous incident, he had severed ties with those relatives, so no one wanted to attend Bai Mu's funeral.
The three brothers of the Bai family simply made a coffin and found a geomantic treasure to bury their mother.
The death of his wife and the disappearance of his daughter made Father Bai, who was already old, seem to have grown twenty years older in the blink of an eye. His stature was stooped, and he could not see the sorrow and sadness that the flowers would not bloom.
In order to find Bai Jiao, the three brothers of the Bai family went to work in the county town to support their family while looking for their sister.
What happened to the Bai family made the villagers sympathize with each other. A good family became torn apart.
In the huge Bai family, only Father Bai and Shen Qingzhi were left.
To show her filial piety, Shen Qingzhi did not follow her husband to the county town, but stayed to take care of her elderly father-in-law.
Shen Qingzhi put her hand on the back of Father Bai's hand, pursed her thin lips tightly, and coaxed in a soft voice:
"Dad, it's cold outside, so don't stay outside. Go inside and warm yourself up by the fire!"
Father Bai's expression was stiff, and his deathly gray eyes were fixed on Shen Qingzhi. They leaned against each other and slowly walked into the living room.
Shen Qingzhi looked worried and did not notice anything unusual about her father-in-law. She helped the person into the hall, closed the door and placed the person next to the stove to warm up, and whispered softly:
"I'll get you some food!"
Just as he was about to turn around, Father Bai held his wrist tightly.
Even though Shen Qingzhi is more energetic than ordinary women, she is far less energetic than her father, who works hard in the fields all day long.
Her wrists were so painful from being pinched that Shen Qingzhi had a thin line of cold sweat on her forehead, but she still squatted down and asked softly:
"Dad, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Father Bai stretched out his hand towards Shen Qingzhi and said hoarsely:
"Second daughter-in-law, your mother left, leaving me alone. Now it's just you and me in this family, relying on each other."
Although Shen Qingzhi hadn't read many books, she was not stupid. Looking at her father-in-law's posture, she didn't understand anything. She fell to the ground in panic, with a look of fear on her face.
"Dad...if you have something to say, please tell me!"
However, Father Bai was already heartbroken. His originally gloomy eyes stared at Shen Qingzhi like a wolf and a tiger. He picked it up and put it in his arms. He moved his hands dishonestly and said in a bewitching tone:
"You have taken good care of me, and the second child will naturally not say anything!"
The devil's claws stretched towards Shen Qingzhi. Shen Qingzhi was trembling all over, but she did not dare to make any sound.
……
When Qi Man and Xie Yunshu came out of the room, Xie Shanshan had already left early.
Mother Chen stood aside respectfully, with a faint smile on her face:
"Miss, sir, a group of people came here just now. They said they wanted to see the lady. They are waiting in the living room right now. You two haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't you go over there after eating?"
Qi Man shook his head: "I don't have much appetite today. Do you know who they are?"
When they first arrived in the capital, they didn't make any friends except Xie Shanshan. Who would come to visit them the next day?
I came back after eating and drinking, so my stomach will be very full.
Mother Chen shook her head: "I've never seen it."
"Lead us there."
Mother Chen led Qi Man and Xie Yunshu over.
In the living room, there were three old men with gray hair sitting in suits. They all sat upright, with a cup of steaming hot tea in front of them. The atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
Qi Man glanced around and saw that she had never seen them before, and she didn't recognize them either.
"Please!"
Mother Chen made a gesture of invitation.
Sensing the movement coming from here, the three gray-haired old men stood up and looked at Qi Man and his wife up and down.
The old man closest to Qi Man smiled happily:
"You must be Man Man. We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and you have turned from a little carrot head into a big girl. You are so graceful and graceful that you are the most beautiful girl in the country. Even the most beautiful girl in the capital cannot compare to you!"
Qi Man frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
"My name is Helian Deliang, and I am your grandma's biological brother. You have to call me uncle. This is your first cousin, and this is your second cousin."
Heliandelian introduced the old man, one fat and one thin, to the side.
Qi Man and his wife took their seats under the guidance of Mother Chen.
Sansan promptly updated Qi Man’s mind with the information about the three old people in front of him, as well as their relationship with the original owner’s grandmother.
It is true that they are the brother and cousin of the original owner's grandmother, but long before the original owner's mother married the original owner's father, the original owner's grandmother was unwilling to exchange hearts with her half-sister, and the family severed ties with them.
Grandma has fierce methods, and she pulled the original owner's mother to grow up alone. With her thunderous methods and the connections she had made previously, she was able to make a name for herself in the capital and live a smooth life.
It wasn't until the original owner's mother met her father, sparks of love sparked, and both husband and wife died, the grandmother used her own resources to transfer all her assets abroad. She was unwilling to come back until her death.
The original owner arranged everything before he died!
Qi Man's little head was full of doubts.
Logically speaking, they have nothing to do with grandma's natal family, so why are the three old people in front of them here again?
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Do my uncles have any business with me?"
