Aunt Zhuang endured the anger in her heart and smiled: "So, you guys are really close, but I want to ask, do you know when your aunt and Mr. Xia got married?"
As soon as Aunt Zhuang asked this question, the man knew that he had said the wrong thing and leaked the truth, but he couldn't help but refuse to answer. He could only mutter: "It happened when I was a child, I can't remember clearly."
Aunt Zhuang said again: "So, you and your wife got married when they were young? And you came to attend her aunt's wedding together?"
Seeing that this lie could no longer be rounded out, and the more it was told, the more it was wrong, and the more it was said, the more wrong it became, so it was better not to say it again. The young man winked at his father and mother, and the three of them unpacked the boxes one after another without waiting for Aunt Zhuang's attention. Then he rushed into the plum garden.
Compared with Aunt Zhuang, the three of them are strong and strong. Not to mention that Aunt Zhuang has no time to stop them. Even if she has the chance to stop them, she may not be able to stop them.
The three of them dragged their boxes and backpacks and ran into the hall at a trot.
When they saw the old man sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, without saying a word, the three of them dropped the box together, threw themselves in front of the old man and knelt down, and began to recognize their relatives with runny noses and tears.
Even Mr. Xia, who was used to big scenes, was a little confused when he saw this kind of scene. He looked at Aunt Zhuang who ran in after him and said, "What's going on?"
Aunt Zhuang came forward, leaned over and said a few words in his ear. The master immediately looked understanding and nodded, indicating that she should go about her business and not worry about the matter here, he would handle it.
After seeing Aunt Zhuang leave, the woman who was crying with tears on her face said hurriedly: "Uncle, I have found you. I have been wanting to come to you all these years, but I have always been delayed because of one thing or another. This time something happened in my hometown." The whole village was flooded by the flood, and we, we really had nowhere to go, so—"
Speaking of which, who else doesn’t understand? The old man has a sharp ear and eyes, but he still can't tell who is really crying or pretending to cry
Seeing that the old man was just listening quietly and not saying a word, the man felt a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Uncle, everything we said is true. If you don't believe it, you can read the news. It's all on the news. The whole village in our place was flooded. We also escaped and we were thinking of you, so we found Meiyuan. Uncle, please don't care about our life or death. We don't even have to pay for our journey back. There’s nothing left, we haven’t had a full meal in two days, we—”
The old man raised his hand to signal him to stop, and he said slowly: "You mean, you want to live in this plum garden?"
Seeing that the old man answered, the man nodded quickly and said: "We really have no place to go. I hope my uncle can take us in for a few days. After we recover, find a job and make money, we can rent a house and move out."
The old man nodded: "Okay, there are two vacant rooms in the backyard of Meiyuan. They were originally lived by Gu Cheng and his son. They have left now. If you want to stay temporarily, you can stay here first and find a job until you can settle down. Move out again.”
When the man heard that he was staying in the servant's room in the backyard, he immediately felt unhappy, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he let him stay anyway. If he kept showing off, he might not even be able to live in the servant's room.
The woman stretched out her arm and bumped her husband's arm, signaling him to stop talking nonsense. She smiled and said, "This is the best. Thank you, uncle."
The old man waved his hand and said: "Don't call me uncle from now on. Just like them, just call me old man."
