Chapter 243 Eavesdropping
Zhang Liang’s words were still ringing in my ears, and Zhang Liang’s voice could be heard from inside the house.
"How could she have such a thing? She's such a stingy person."
Zhao Baoqi clenched her back teeth. Is she stingy?
Yes, she is stingy. If she hadn't been careful with her money, this family would have been broke long ago!
"I picked up this bracelet on the road."
"Huh?" Zhang Ya's mouth dropped open in surprise. He quickly strode to the table and said, "Brother Liang, where did you pick it up? I want to pick one up too!"
At the same time, Zhao Baoqi outside the house received a private message from Mei Ling'er.
[The gold bracelet was deliberately lost. If the person who found it keeps it for themselves, it will protect the original owner from disaster.]
boom!
Zhao Baoqi's head was buzzing. Could it be that his daughter's illness was related to this gold bracelet?
Zhang Liang glanced at Zhang Ya and it was obviously impossible for him to tell others such good news.
Zhang Ya laughed twice, and Zhang Hao tried to smooth things over:
"Why is Xuanxuan sick again? When she was in our village, I thought she was fine."
Bang!
Zhang Liang smashed the wine bottle on the table and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Who says it's not true? My parents and I asked her to send the child home, but she was still unwilling to do so.
I even brought out the old fortune teller from our neighboring village who was very good at telling fortunes to scare her, but she still refused."
Zhang Hao nodded and continued:
"Or, Brother Liang, you can think of another trick that can fool my sister-in-law."
Zhang Liang took a sip of wine and nodded silently.
Zhao Baoqi was so angry that he had difficulty breathing and his face became increasingly ugly.
It turns out that the incompatibility of horoscopes was an excuse he came up with. He just didn't like Xuanxuan, just like his parents!
Zhao Baoqi pushed the door open and walked in with an angry look on his face.
Zhang Hao was the first to notice the movement at the door. The moment he saw Zhao Baoqi, he was so scared that his chopsticks dropped.
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law!"
Zhang Liang also put down his chopsticks and looked towards the door. He thought Zhao Baoqi had come back to get something, and his face was full of impatience.
"What did you forget to take? How long will Xuanxuan stay in the hospital?"
"I've told you so many times to send her back home, but you just won't listen."
Zhao Baoqi snorted and laughed.
This attracted the attention of the three men in the room.
"I've been standing outside the door for a while. I heard everything you said just now."
Zhang Hao was the first to react. He pulled Zhang Ya's arm and walked towards the door.
"Brother Liang, sister-in-law. It's getting late, let's go back first."
Zhao Baoqi, who was still standing at the door, moved aside to make room for the two of them.
After Zhang Ya and Zhang Hao left, only Zhang Liang and Zhao Baoqi were left in the house.
Zhang Liang knew that he had cheated on his wife and she would definitely be unhappy, but she shouldn't embarrass him in front of outsiders.
He complained in his heart about Zhao Baoqi's actions just now, and drank alone with his head down.
Zhao Baoqi walked over slowly and sat down next to Zhang Liang.
"I won't send Xuanxuan away, and don't tell lies about my daughter and I not being compatible. I won't believe you!"
"I've already consulted a very effective spiritualist, and she said that I have a very good affinity with my descendants in this life, and that I won't have any conflicts with my daughter at all."
"And your gold bracelet, put it back where you found it."
"Master Ling said that the owner threw it away on purpose because he wanted the person who found it to suffer for him. Xuanxuan has been sick recently, and it must be the effect of the gold bracelet."
How could Zhang Liang be willing to return the gold bracelet? This was not the first thing he had picked up. He had lost all the things he had picked up before. If the owner asked him to return all the lost items, he would not have enough money to pay back!
But after hearing what Zhao Baoqi said just now, the time when he started picking up gold almost coincided with the time when his daughter came here.
There couldn't really be any connection between the two... But he didn't care if there was a connection. After all, it was Hins Cheung who got punished, not him.
Zhao Baoqi didn't know what Zhang Liang was thinking. She thought he agreed with what she had just said.
She raised her hand to take the gold bracelet and wanted to put it away.
Snapped!
Zhang Liang slapped her hand away, and the back of Zhao Baoqi's hand suddenly turned red.
"You..." Zhao Baoqi was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Zhang Liang didn't even look at her and continued drinking and eating.
Zhao Baoqi knew that Zhang Liang did not agree with her words and refused to communicate with her. In order to make her daughter get better as soon as possible, she softly advised:
"Return the gold bracelet first. I'll think about Xuanxuan's matter later."
Zhang Liang put down his chopsticks after hearing this, turned around and asked:
"Are you really willing to send Xuanxuan back to his hometown?"
Zhao Baoqi didn't say anything and nodded silently.
"Okay, I'll return the gold bracelet tomorrow morning." Zhang Liang was making a plan in his mind, thinking that he would pretend to return it when the time comes. Zhao Baoqi wouldn't know whether he went or not anyway.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Uh... Zhang Liang's brain was working quickly. He could only pretend to lose it and wait for Zhao Baoqi to leave before he went to find it again.
"Okay, why did you come back so suddenly? Is it okay for Xuanxuan to be alone in the ward?"
Zhang Liang knew that his wife was worried about the child, so he pretended to remind her.
After Zhang Liang's reminder, Zhao Baoqi realized that she had indeed been away for a long time. Even though Master Ling told her that Xuanxuan would not wake up before she returned, what if?
She didn't bother to argue with Zhang Liang and rushed to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xuanxuan was still sleeping soundly, which was consistent with what Mei Ling'er said. Zhao Baoqi believed Mei Ling'er's words even more from the bottom of his heart.
At noon the next day, Zhao Baoqi hurried home after Xuanxuan took a nap. The leftovers from last night's meal by her husband Zhang Liang had not been cleaned up yet.
While cleaning up, she made sobering soup for Zhang Liang who had not yet gotten up.
After Zhang Liang got up, he looked impatient.
"What are you doing? You're making so much noise...are you going to let me sleep?"
Zhao Baoqi suppressed his unhappiness, scooped up the soup from the pot and handed it to Zhang Liang.
"Hurry up and drink it. After that, we'll go return the gold bracelet."
Zhang Liang was still sleepy. The combination of grumpiness and hangover made his head feel like it was about to explode. The people around him were still nagging. Who could be in a good mood like this... Anyway, he was in a terrible mood.
But he still had to deal with Zhao Baoqi, and his tone became impatient.
"Zhao Baoqi, did you do this on purpose?"
"I said I'd go today, would I lie to you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Baoqi could no longer hold back the grievance in his heart.
"I stayed up all night watching over the kids, and when I got home I had to clean up your leftovers from last night. I even made you some hangover soup. What else do you want from me?"
After saying this, she began to cry softly.
Zhang Liang was annoyed by Zhao Baoqi's crying, so he picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"Go, go, go, I really can't stand you!"
