Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

He Yushui ate happily, eating snacks while doing homework.

But Cai Quanwu sat aside and gradually felt bored.

"Wife, do you want to go out for a walk?" Cai Quanwu rolled his eyes and asked Guan Jiaqi.

As soon as Cai Quanwu said this, Guan Jiaqi heard what he was thinking, rolled her eyes at him, and said unhappily, "If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't drag me along. I don't want to move. I'll just stay here and do my homework while watching the rain."

"Hehe, okay, I'll go out for some fresh air." Cai Quanwu felt a little embarrassed after being rebuked, and said with a chuckle.

As soon as Cai Quanwu finished speaking, Guan Jiaqi waved at him, clearly telling him to stop being an eyesore and leave quickly.

After receiving this instruction, Cai Quanwu went out.

I went out and staggered to the front yard. When I saw the third uncle standing at the door, I walked over.

"Old Yan, are you off work?" After approaching, Cai Quanwu took the initiative to greet him.

"Well, it's time to get off work."

"By the way, I heard from my husband that something happened at your mother-in-law's family? It's nothing serious, right?" The third uncle replied to Cai Quanwu, and then asked with concern.

When the third uncle said this, Cai Quanwu was stunned at first, then he reacted and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

My goodness, he just said that he went to his mother-in-law's house for something, but after hearing what the third aunt said, it turned out that something happened at his mother-in-law's house.

This is just what happened from Auntie San's mouth. If it gets spread to a few more people, who knows how outrageous it will become.

No wonder there is a story like "Digging a well saves one person from fetching water, but it was eventually spread as "digging a well gave birth to a person". As expected, the story changed once it spread.

Helpless, Cai Quanwu had to smile bitterly and explain: "Your wife heard it wrong. My wife and I went to my mother-in-law's house to do something, but it wasn't an accident at my mother-in-law's house. If something really happened, how could I come back so peacefully?"

After hearing this explanation, the third uncle couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to show some concern and improve her favorability, but he didn't expect that it would turn out to be a misunderstanding. He could only laugh and say, "Oh, I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. This old woman is uneducated and can't even understand what I'm saying. She's really useless."

"It's okay, just explain it clearly. Otherwise, who knows how it will be spread later." Seeing that the third uncle said so, Cai Quanwu didn't know what to say and could only say it was okay.

"That's right, these old women have nothing to do after eating all day, so they just believe everything they hear and spread nonsense." The third uncle echoed indignantly.

This matter can be a big or small matter.

If people don't pursue it, then that's fine; but if they really want to make a fuss about it, and they accuse you of cursing others and slap you in the face, you won't have any way to appeal.

After all, the person is fine, but you spread the news that something happened to him. How unlucky it is! Anyone who hears it will feel like it's a curse.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Cai Quanwu really didn't want to continue dwelling on this topic.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something else."

"Old Cai, let me tell you, I feel something is wrong with the matter of Jia's relatives."

The third uncle saw that Cai Quanwu didn't want to continue talking about that topic, which was exactly what he wanted. So he immediately changed the subject and talked about what happened to Jia's relatives that day.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Cai Quanwu actually knew what was going on, but pretended not to know, trying to get the third uncle to talk.

"That's what happened."

"Ever since that day when Jia Zhang said that there was a relative in her family, I asked my wife to keep an eye on Jia Zhang during the day. As a result, I found that she ran out almost every other day."

At this point, the third uncle motioned for Cai Quanwu to come closer. When Cai Quanwu came closer, the third uncle lowered his voice and whispered in Cai Quanwu's ear:

"One day when I got off work, my wife told me that she didn't see Jia Zhang come back. I kept an eye on her and waited at the gate of the courtyard. I asked my children to bring me meals."

"guess what?"

As the third uncle spoke, he paused, intentionally leaving the audience in suspense.

"What's wrong?" Cai Quanwu had no idea what was going on, so he could only follow the Third Uncle's words and see what he had discovered.

Seeing Cai Quanwu's cooperation, the third uncle was very proud and pretended to be mysterious: "You will never guess it."

"Nonsense, if I could guess it, why would you tell me here?" Cai Quanwu couldn't stand the mysterious look of the Third Uncle and retorted in a bad mood.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu was a little impatient, the third uncle quickly comforted him, "Hey, Lao Cai, don't be impatient. It's more interesting if you talk slowly."

"Okay, take your time." Cai Quanwu pretended to listen attentively.

"Okay, let me continue. That night, I waited until the courtyard closed, but I didn't see Jia Zhang come back. When I closed the door, I locked it from the inside, thinking that if Jia Zhang came back, she would definitely knock on the door. But until the next morning, there was no one around. In other words, Jia Zhang didn't come back that night at all."

After the third uncle finished speaking, he gave Cai Quanwu a meaningful smile.

After hearing this, Cai Quanwu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

He really didn't expect Jia Zhang to stay out all night. Could it be true, as people say, that old houses burn more fiercely?

"Could it be that your husband didn't notice her when she came back?" Cai Quanwu knew in his heart that what the third uncle said was very likely true, but he still deliberately picked out the loopholes in his words.

Hearing what Cai Quanwu said, the third uncle gave him a thumbs up and said, "Old Cai, it's said that we two can get along well in the courtyard. I thought so at the time."

"You are just making fun of me. It's totally unfounded." After the third uncle said this, Cai Quanwu was speechless. He distanced himself from the third uncle and said with disgust.

He thought that the Third Master really had some evidence against Jia Zhang, but after talking for so long, it turned out to be all groundless.

Seeing Cai Quanwu's disgusted look, the third uncle quickly continued, "Old Cai, look, you are anxious again, aren't you? I haven't finished talking yet."

"Oh? Is there something else going on?" Cai Quanwu really didn't expect that there would be a sequel, and couldn't help but move closer.

Seeing Cai Quanwu approaching, the third uncle immediately said smugly: "Of course."

This time Cai Quanwu didn't say anything, but just used his eyes to signal the third uncle to continue.

The third uncle was probably afraid of angering Cai Quanwu again, so he didn't keep the secret any longer and continued:

"I didn't have classes that afternoon, so I went home early. When I walked to the gate, I saw a group of people chatting there, including Qin Huairu and her children. I casually asked Qin Huairu, 'Why didn't your mother-in-law come to chat?' She replied that her mother-in-law had gone out."

"After hearing this, I became more cautious and kept watch. As a result, I didn't see Jia Zhang return until the courtyard was locked that night. Moreover, no one knocked on the door until dawn. In other words, Jia Zhang didn't return to the courtyard that night at all."

When he said the last sentence, the uncle deliberately emphasized his tone.
