You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

"Is that your brother-in-law? I heard he's hooking up with a rich woman?"

"Yes, yes, it must be an old woman!"

"How could you like him? Old Jiang, you don't know that a car just came to pick him up!"

"Is that old woman in the car? Did you see her?"

"Yes, it should be."

Jiang Wanshui was shocked beyond words and rushed home quickly. After delivering the pork to the market, he eagerly pulled Su Xiaoyan aside and whispered a few words to her.

"What?!" Su Xiaoyan's face immediately turned cold. "Jiang Wanshui, you are just sitting there with nothing to do, right? What are you talking about? Why is my little brother..."

Looking up, she saw many people in the bustling market looking at her suspiciously. Su Xiaoyan quickly forced a smile and greeted them, then glared at Jiang Wanshui fiercely: "Achen said he went to the city to have his fortune told."

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart, don't you believe it?"

"I'm not kidding. A car came to pick him up this morning. Everyone at the station saw it. They said the old woman was in the car."

Jiang Wanshui looked innocent, then glanced around and explained in a low voice, "Wife, think about it, how much did the blind old man who came here to tell fortunes last time charge?"

Su Xiaoyan paused as she was tackling the pig, frowning, "Five dollars?"

"Right!" Jiang Wanshui clapped his hands. "Then tell me, how many did that blind old man count after walking around our town for a whole day?"

"Five or six."

"That's all I remember. It was only about thirty or forty dollars a day, right? He's a capable old man."

"You mean..."

Jiang Wanshui winked. "You told me before that your brother-in-law said he would save money in the morning, and when he came back in the evening, he gave you 500 yuan and had some extra money. Even if he counted all day, he couldn't make so much money. So, where did the money come from?"

Su Xiaoyan couldn't help but grumble in her heart after listening to his clear and logical analysis.

Could it be that I really did as Lao Jiang said and slept with a rich woman?

Because it would be bad to spread this reputation, so he said that he was telling fortunes for people in the city?

No, I'm just confused!

How could you possibly do something like this? If this rich woman had a husband, he would definitely have his legs broken!

Jiang Wanshui carefully looked at his wife's face and said in a low voice: "Wife, you have to take care of this matter. You said that your brother-in-law's reputation was not good before because of his dead wife. Now he is doing something like this. How embarrassing it will be if people tell others about it."

Su Xiaoyan glanced at him sideways: "Is it because it would be embarrassing to tell others, or is it because I made you lose face by drinking?"

"This, this is almost the same."

Su Xiaoyan slammed the knife on the chopping board and said, "Go chop your meat!"

She took off her apron and said, "I'm going home to ask my parents."

Jiang Wanshui nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, persuade my parents and let them talk. My brother-in-law has five children. They are all thirty years old. They can't be so indecent."

"Shut up!"

"Oh, I won't say anymore."

Su Xiaoyan naturally did not go home empty-handed.

She went back carrying the braised pig intestines she had prepared herself.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a familiar voice coming from inside. It was my sister-in-law Lin Chunjiao.

She was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stepped back, and looked around the room carefully.

That’s right, it’s my parents’ house, not my eldest brother’s house.

No, haven't my sister-in-law and her family been in contact with my parents for years? What's going on? Did the sun rise from the west today? Or...

My eldest brother and the others also remembered that Dad would be celebrating his 60th birthday this year and planned to have a grand celebration. As children, they have to bow their heads first and come over to admit their mistakes, right?

Thinking of Su Xiaoyan, I couldn't help laughing.

As the one who thinks she is doing the best among her siblings, she naturally hopes that her family will be harmonious and prosperous, so that she won't be caught in the middle and embarrassed every time.

When she entered the house, she not only saw Lin Chunjiao, but also Aliang.

"Third Aunt." Aliang called out honestly.

"Hey, Aliang, you're here just in time. Auntie brought some pig intestines back today. Once they're heated up, they'll be perfect for you to enjoy with your wine."

A Liang rubbed his hands hesitantly: "Auntie, I don't drink."

Wine costs money.

"Hey, you're already 20, how can you not drink? Dad, do you have any wine at home? If not, I'll go to the grocery store and buy some."

"Aliang was frightened and caught a cold yesterday, and now he has a runny nose. Why did he drink wine?" Liu Chunhua couldn't help but complain and turned to look at Lin Chunjiao, "Take this egg noodles back and use them to nourish my eldest grandson."

Su Xiaoyan was surprised: "It's not Mom, why is Aliang scared?"

Liu Chunhua couldn't help rolling her eyes when she mentioned this.

"Isn't it because some people are holding on to their money and are reluctant to spend it? Ah Liang feels that his family is poor, so he wants to go into the mountains with others to trap wild boars and sell them for money?"

"Grandma, I told you it was my own idea, don't blame my mom." Aliang hurriedly explained.

"Why can't she be blamed? She knew you had walked all night on the mountain road last night, so why didn't she think of covering you with an extra blanket? Your brother-in-law brought a coat when he came to see you, so how did you catch a cold?"

A Liang shrank his neck and said, "Grandma, I couldn't sleep well at night. I kept having nightmares, and my stomach was uncomfortable..."

When Liu Chunhua mentioned this, she slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you old man, why didn't you remind Ah Chen to check on Ah Liang? I don't know how much dirt this kid has eaten. I wonder if he's vomited it all out. What if he gets sick?"

Lin Chunjiao also became a little nervous.

What is this all about?

Su Xiaoyan looked confused when she heard this.

Old Man Su said disdainfully, "Why are you so startled? Ah Chen knows what's going on. It's definitely okay. If there really was something wrong, he would have taken action long ago."

Lin Chunjiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Liu Chunhua nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, Aliang is his nephew, how can he not care about him? My brain... Ayan, why did you go back to your parents' home again? Is it because of the previous..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Chunjiao warily and pulled Su Xiaoyan to the back of the house: "Did Ah Shui find out that you gave money to Mom?"

"No, no." Su Xiaoyan waved her hands quickly.

Liu Chunhua laughed and winked at her: "Ayan, mom will get you the money later."

"...Ah?" Su Xiaoyan was stunned.

"What? You gave me so much money earlier... Oh, and Ah Chen has been asking for money from you a lot over the years, right? Let's count it all together and see how much it is. I'll pay you back later."

Su Xiaoyan was shocked: "No, Mom, where did you get the money?"

You have to know that since the family split up, the whole family has been living on about two acres of land, and it is difficult to earn three to five hundred yuan a year. In addition, my younger brother has several children, and the half-grown children are eating their parents out of money. My younger brother was ignorant before and often asked my mother for money. No matter how you look at it, my mother should not have any money.

Su Xiaoyan suddenly remembered Jiang Wanshui's words and asked in a low voice, "Mom, did Ah Chen give you money?"

Liu Chunhua smiled happily: "Of course, Ah Chen is really promising. He gave me two thousand when he came back last night."

She even gestured deliberately as she spoke: "Ayan, it's two thousand!"

Su Xiaoyan took a breath and her heart sank.

Could it be that what Jiang said was true?
