Chapter 178 Monkfish
When they got there, there were already quite a few people working inside, and the old lady and two other people were patrolling around.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin thought, bad luck! Could anyone have drunk that water?
He ran to the kitchen, and Mr. Jiang and the other man followed him in without knowing why.
The people in the yard looked at the three people rushing in and were confused.
Young Master Jiang ran in breathlessly and saw the two men checking the water tank. Only then did he realize what they were worried about.
"Aunt, it's okay. I forgot to tell you just now. When the problem was discovered yesterday, Jiang Shui cleaned the tank inside and out. Don't worry." Master Jiang said, panting.
The master and servant were quite attentive, and Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although drinking it once is not fatal, it is poison after all, and it will definitely be bad for anyone who drinks it.
There is no advanced medical technology in this era, let alone the people in the village. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin still don't want anything to go wrong.
The old lady also followed in to check on the situation.
"What's the matter? Why are you all running to the backyard? What's the problem?"
"It's okay, Auntie. Mr. Jiang said yesterday that he lost something in the kitchen, so we thought of coming here quickly to look for it." Duan Minmin made up a lie.
Naturally, the fewer people who know about this, the better. If Old Mrs. Chen knew about it, her reaction would not be realistic.
"What is it? Is it important? Do you want me to go out and ask them if there were a few people who came in to drink water just now?"
Old Mrs. Chen was very nervous, fearing that something might be stolen again under her jurisdiction.
"No need, grandma, I remembered it wrong just now. I have found it." Mr. Jiang reacted quickly.
Old Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I'm glad you found it."
After confirming that nothing was wrong here, a few people pretended nothing had happened and returned to the front yard and began to inspect the work situation.
Although the workers were a little curious about why they rushed in just now, when they saw that everyone looked normal, they lowered their heads and quickly did their work.
Finding out things is not as important as making money. Since no one said anything, it means nothing is wrong.
The most important task for them today was to wait and see the family's performance, so the two did not leave after the inspection.
After looking around, the two of them sat bored in the main room watching the busy people outside.
Mr. Jiang returned to his room. He didn't sleep well last night. Besides, the performers would appear on stage soon, so they would feel more at ease if Mr. Jiang came out of the room.
Just as the two were dozing off, they heard crying outside.
"My poor son, you are so cruel, abandoning me and your father! Wuuuuu..."
The sleepiness of the two people was instantly driven away by this shout, and they looked at each other and saw the joy of watching the show in each other's eyes.
They haven't come for a long time, and I thought they were very patient, but that's just the case.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were not in a hurry to go out. They sat steadily in the main room, waiting for people to come and perform.
Although the people working outside looked up curiously, no one moved from their stools.
Again, gossip is not as joyful as making money.
Outside, Tian Xizhen continued to howl for a few more times, but when she saw that there was no movement at the door, she became confused.
There was nothing she could do since the other person wouldn’t come out, so she had to go in by herself.
The original intention was to lure people out and tell the two widows outside, which would definitely attract more villagers.
The bigger the noise, the more beneficial it will be to their plans.
Who would have thought that no one in the yard would come out to watch.
Tian Xizhen cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to lead her family to howl and bang on the gate.
After filming for a long time, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin finally stood up.
The fun begins.
The two of them opened the door on the left and right, and saw a family pretending to cry outside the door, and pretended to be confused.
"Oh my~ Grandma Tian, what happened to you? Just now we thought someone's cat outside was calling for sex in broad daylight, but it could only howl dryly. I didn't expect it was you, Grandma Tian."
This remark made Tian Xizhen so angry that her chest hurt, and she wanted to curse back.
It was only when Chen Fangyuan's wife tugged at her sleeve that Tian Xizhen was able to swallow back the curse words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Thinking of the main purpose of her visit today, Tian Xizhen suppressed the angry expression on her face and replaced it with a sad face.
"Alas, Yuandong's wife, Jiaming's wife, you should understand the difficulty of sending off a young person."
"What are you talking about, Grandma Tian? Isn't Uncle Fang Yuan still standing behind you?"
The two pretended to be surprised.
Chen Fangyuan is of the same generation as the village chief and Old Man Chen, so the two of them could only let this bastard take advantage of them first.
This one sentence made the whole family look unhappy. Isn't this a curse on them?
It was really funny to see the expressions on the family's faces changing rapidly, but because things were not done well, they did not dare to laugh and had to hold it back. The two of them almost bit their tongues to stop themselves from laughing.
That's right, I did it on purpose, what can you do to me? The two of them are just thinking, I have to make you feel disgusted even if I'm acting with you.
"Wife Jiaming, Wife Yuandong, you are joking. My mother is certainly not talking about my man. She is talking about my poor second brother." Chen Fangyuan's wife endured it at first and looked at the two of them with a sad look.
Chen Fangyuan's wife is Tian Xizhen's niece who was carefully selected. Her name is Gong Fuling.
Gong Fuling has a broad face, but her facial features are tightly packed into it, making her look like an anglerfish.
"Oh, so that's it. But hasn't my uncle Fang Ping been gone for almost half a year? Why are you crying now? Didn't you know about it then?"
These words were actually quite impolite, and Chen Fangyuan could not stand it anymore. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go forward and teach them a lesson.
Before he could come over, Zheng Yuan's expression immediately changed and he sighed deeply.
"Alas, but it is also true that children are always the most important thing in a mother's heart. Grandma Tian, it is really hard for you that Uncle Fang Ping passed away so early."
"Yes, the old man sent the young man away. No wonder you can't let go and keep thinking about him."
His attitude took a 180-degree turn, which stunned Chen Fangyuan who was about to take action. He rolled up his sleeves and slowly put them down, not moving forward again.
Tian Xizhen was also annoyed, but she turned back abruptly, and you couldn't argue with her, so you could only say a few dry words: "Yes, yes."
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were so angry that their eyes were about to roll to the sky, but on the surface they still looked innocent, the last thing they did was to write "I don't know" on their faces.
Their family's goal has not been achieved yet, and the two of them have calculated that even if they are feeling aggrieved, they will not explode at this moment.
"Mom, please tell Jiaming's wife and Yuandong's wife about the dream you had about my second brother these few nights." Fearing that Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin would say something else, Gong Fuling quickly turned the topic directly to this topic.
"Yes! To be honest, there is nothing we can do. I haven't slept well for several nights. Last night I dreamed about..."
"Oh my! Look at what we have done! Grandma Tian, uncle, aunt, please come in and sit down to talk. It's so hot, and I'm sorry to have you standing outside all the time!"
The two men pretended that they had just remembered that they had not let them in and loudly interrupted Mrs. Tian's spell.
Humph! Want to attract more villagers? No way!
After saying this, without waiting for the family to say no, the two of them carried Tian Xizhen on both sides and walked towards the house, not giving them any chance to react.
