Chapter 14 Jia Zhang's Anxiety

When Li Xiangqian heard Xiao Hui's voice, he paused slightly and then walked towards him.

In a corner, Little Gray was chirping.

Li Xiangqian walked over puzzledly and moved the big boxes in front of him. Only then did he discover that there was a hole at the back of the big box.

Li Xiangqian squatted down curiously, fumbled around inside, and took out a small box.

He blew gently to remove the dust and carefully opened the box. Inside were a few books, half a dollar and a letter.

Li Xiangqian carefully took out the letter, opened it and started reading.

After a long time, Li Xiangqian put down the letter, looked at the dollars in the box with a complicated expression, and sighed.

It turned out that his father was not dead. He was separated from his mother during the war.

My mother took me back to Beijing. As the war continued, there was less and less news about my father, so my mother thought he was dead.

She left this letter thinking that if she died one day, Li Xiangqian would know his life experience.

Li Xiangqian stood there with a complicated expression. Since this letter was left behind, it meant that his mother Chen Rushuang had realized the danger. And his father was not dead yet. This was no big deal for Li Xiangqian. Everything depended on fate. If he could meet him, that would be the best. If not, there was no need to force it.

After thinking it through, Li Xiangqian picked up several books inside, which included the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Tai Chi, and several volumes of Chen's Pharmacopoeia.

Li Xiangqian put them back into the box and put them back in their original place.

These things cannot be put out in the open because someone is watching me now.

Maybe Chen Rushuang’s death was not an accident, it is possible that these people did it.

Li Xiangqian returned to the house, closed the entrance to the basement again, and stood in front of the window thinking carefully. Perhaps Yi Zhonghai and the others were related to Chen Rushuang's death, and he must find out the truth.

……

Outside the house, in the cellar.

Yi Zhonghai pushed away Jia Zhangshi who was about to rush over, and kept sighing in his heart, "As people say, men are like wolves at thirty, tigers at forty, and so on at fifty."

I am still old. I thought that I had offended Jia Zhang in order to have a son, but I didn’t expect that the retribution would come now.

Breathing slightly, Yi Zhonghai quickly put on his clothes.

"Okay, sister-in-law, let's stop here today."

Seeing that Jia Zhang was still thinking about rushing over, Yi Zhonghai sighed and thought that he had to change the subject now, otherwise, he might not be able to leave this place tonight.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai quickly reached out to block Jia Zhang's attack.

"By the way, sister-in-law, why do I see Li Xiangqian from the backyard going to your house all the time?"

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai looked serious.

"I'm telling you, your family just got a new daughter-in-law, so you should still be careful with this kid."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes turned, and she thought that she couldn't tell Yi Zhonghai about her family's affairs, otherwise, how would her family live in the future.

However, Yi Zhonghai was obviously not someone who could be easily fooled, so Jia Zhang gritted her teeth.

"Nothing. I just felt sorry for him because he was all alone."

Yi Zhonghai curled his lips speechlessly. Considering your character, Jia Zhang, you can feel pity for others. I'm afraid you have set your eyes on their house.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai sighed slightly.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better stay away from him as soon as possible. It's no good to be close to him. Now, I know what your family wants. It's just the houses in the backyard. When things are settled, I can make the decision and give your family one of them."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang carefully looked at Yi Zhonghai's expression. In the dim light, Yi Zhonghai's face was looming. Jia Zhang thought secretly in her heart that it seemed that this kid Li Xiangqian would not have many days of good days.

So Qin Huairu must get pregnant before anything happens. Thinking of this, Jia Zhang hurriedly grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand.

Yi Zhonghai pulled subconsciously, but failed to pull it out, and could only look at Jia Zhang helplessly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm doing this for your own good. If you get implicated, don't say I didn't say anything."

Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai with tears in her eyes. His big fat face looked even greasy under the light.

"Lao Yi, please give us another month, one month, then..."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang's sincere expression, thought for a while, and nodded slowly.

"Okay, it'll only take a month. But, sister-in-law, it's just his family fortune, not much. I'll give you some in the end."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly. The money could be divided, but what about the children? What about the reputation of their Jia family?

"Don't talk about this anymore. It's only one month."

After saying this, Jia Zhang pulled up her trousers and left.

When he opened the door, a cold wind blew in from outside. Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang's figure and couldn't help shivering. He walked out tremblingly, holding on to the wall.

Li Xiangqian was stunned when he saw this scene. My goodness, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi had such an affair? I didn't know this before.

Li Xiangqian looked at the dark night outside and narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that he had to make plans early.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Xiangqian put on his clothes, staggered to the central courtyard, and went to Jia's house under the strange gaze of Yi Sui who was still waiting for someone.

When Jia Zhang saw Li Xiangqian coming, she became even more enthusiastic and served the food diligently.

"Xiang Qian, you're up, come and eat."

Li Xiangqian looked at Jia Zhang with a strange expression. Could this old woman be planning something?

Thinking of this, Li Xiangqian looked at Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu shook her head subconsciously.

Li Xiangqian suppressed the doubts in his heart.

The next moment, Jia Zhang sat next to Li Xiangqian and spoke in a soft voice.

"Xiang Qian, it's like this. I thought about what you said yesterday and I think you are right. This matter is not an honorable one after all. We must make a quick decision. Otherwise, if these people in the courtyard find out, our two families will be too embarrassed to face anyone."

"Well, I see you two can't relax in the yard, so I'll pay for a room for you outside, so you two should make the most of it."

Seeing that Li Xiangqian wanted to speak, Jia Zhang hurriedly spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go without food and drink. I'll treat you to good food and wine every day. After all, this is about my eldest grandson, and I won't treat him unfairly."

When Li Xiangqian heard what Jia Zhang said, he narrowed his eyes. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. What Jia Zhang did could be said to be abnormal among abnormal things.

But what exactly are her intentions?
