Chapter 13: The Second Grandfather Who Suddenly Became Tough
Ye Xiazhen should have also noticed this detail, the smile on her face suddenly narrowed, and after thinking about it, she first cautiously swept all the medicinal materials on the ground back into the furry deer skin package, and then took off the apron on her body, wiped her hands slightly, found an umbrella, and greeted her out unhurriedly.
Wang Yuefeng and his sister followed out and stood under the eaves at the kitchen door.
The hazy rain drenched the bluestone slabs in the yard and looked a little slippery, so Ye Xiazhen, who was holding an umbrella, walked quite carefully with every step, lest a careless one endanger the little life in her womb.
Finally walked to the gate of the courtyard, and after opening the door, Ye Xiazhen politely greeted the middle-aged man outside the door, who was nearly fifty years old, with a long beard, but was quite cleanly combed: "Second uncle, you are here!
Wang Hutian, who was holding an old oil umbrella, was originally full of annoyance, but when he saw Ye Xiazhen, he thought of something again, and his face was slightly gloomy: "It's Shougong's daughter-in-law! When will Shougong come back?"
"I don't know about this, please come in first, I'll ask him later!" Ye Xiazhen had already opened the courtyard door at this time and said busily.
If it were someone else, she would have the arrogance of her own master, but although this is a second-class civilian, she is her husband's second uncle, so she is not easy to slacken.
"Okay!" Wang Hutian couldn't bear the heavy rain outside the house for a long time, and nodded busily.
When Wang Hutian came to the main house where the guests were entertained, put away the umbrella and sat down, Wang Huiqiao, who also came around from under the eaves, obediently pulled Wang Yuefeng and saluted the elder: "Second grandfather!"
"Hmm!" Wang Hutian nodded reservedly, and did not tease Wang Huiqiao and Wang Yuefeng with kindness as usual, but directly urged Ye Xiazhen: "You contact Shougong first!"
After urging him, Wang Hutian looked at the four walls in a blink of an eye, and saw the exquisite wall carvings on the wall, as well as several valuable furniture and ornaments made of purple nan wood that he often caressed with envy when he was a child, and the nobles commonly used to make it work, and a trace of greed quickly flashed in his sophisticated eyes.
Wang Yuefeng saw all this in his eyes, and muttered again in his heart, but he didn't know the other party's intentions, so he didn't make a sound.
Ye Xiazhen also felt it, and her elegant smile faded slightly, but she still walked to the walkie-talkie on the wall and pressed the red communication request button on the fuselage.
This walkie-talkie is the instant communicator of this continent, using a non-attribute spirit core drive, but anyone above the level of "master" can make it by itself, mainly used for instant contact between several fixed relatives or brothers in life and death, and it is point-to-point communication.
The key material is through the amplitude of spiritual power, the higher the spiritual power, the greater the effective range. Of course, civilians without spiritual power can also use it, but the contact range is limited to 3 miles.
In a few seconds, another green button also lit up, and Wang Shougong's slightly tired and helpless voice was clearly heard: "What's the matter?"
"Where are you, the second uncle is coming to you!" Ye Xiazhen said busily.
"Second uncle?" Wang Shougong was obviously a little surprised, but then said: "That's okay, I'll be back in 2 quarters of an hour!"
............
2 quarters of an hour later.
Wang Shougong, who was holding an umbrella, hurriedly walked into the courtyard, the leather coat on his shoulders was already soaked, his walking posture was still a little unnatural, his back was tilted to the left, and Wang Yuefeng frowned secretly, and his heart tightened.
Wang Yuefeng turned his head vigilantly to look at Wang Hutian sitting on the main seat, and saw that a trace of nervousness quickly flashed in the latter's eyes, but there was a look of relief and contempt, and he suddenly disliked it in his heart, and once again confirmed his previous guess.
Obviously, this second grandfather is not a reliable elder with a good character.
"Second uncle, do you have something to do with me?" Wang Shougong asked directly as soon as he entered the door.
"Shougong, did you come out of the misty forest this time, were you seriously injured?" Wang Hutian stared at his nephew tightly.
Wang Shougong was slightly stunned, and then admitted lightly: "A little injury, it's not in the way!"
This second uncle, although he is the second uncle of his relatives, was very polite to him in the past, but he likes to take advantage of small advantages, and likes to bully the soft and fear the hard, he doesn't want this person to know the truth.
"But there is someone in the guild who told me that you are not lightly injured, and you are borrowing money from others, and you are borrowing 100,000 gold coins?" Wang Hutian said without any scruples, and there was a lot of light in his eyes.
Ye Xiazhen hurriedly glanced at her husband worriedly.
Wang Shougong was stunned again, slightly embarrassed, but quickly calmed down: "Yes, I'm borrowing." ”
"That'...... Got it?" asked Wang Hutian again.
Wang Shougong didn't know what he meant, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "This ......!"
Wang Yuefeng listened on the side, and saw that Wang Hutian was pressing his father step by step with his identity as an elder, and every word occupied the momentum and initiative, and he immediately frowned.
"No, my father is too honest, and he is a junior, if he goes on like this, he will be too passive, and he will be led by this ill-intentioned second grandfather!"
Taking advantage of Wang Shougong's hesitation, Wang Yuefeng suddenly said "naively": "Second grandfather, you are so nervous, can you lend money to your father? That's great! Borrowing money from others is definitely not as convenient as borrowing money from second grandfather!"
Wang Hu Tian, who had other plans in his heart, couldn't help but hear this, and the speaker was still Wang Yuefeng, who was usually delicate and introverted, and was suddenly a little stunned.
But when he reacted, his old face was white and red, and then he glared at Wang Yuefeng angrily: "Little guy, what do you know? 100,000 gold coins is not a small amount, even your father and mother can't take it out as a first-class civilian, second grandfather, I am only a second-class civilian, how can there be?"
Wang Yuefeng was naturally not intimidated by Wang Hutian's gaze, and he was even more sure that Wang Hutian was uneasy and kind, but on the surface, he still blinked "inexplicably", and asked "innocently": "Then why are you looking for your father?" Oh, I know, you must know which family in the town has money and wants to take your father to borrow it, right?"
Ye Xiazhen and Wang Shougong are not stupid, Wang Yuefeng asked this twice, and the couple suddenly realized that Ye Xiazhen's originally gentle face was a little unsightly.
However, the couple was also a little surprised by their son's cleverness again.
Wang Hutian was squeezed by Wang Yuefeng's "Tong Yan" so that the muscles on his face twitched, and he felt that he couldn't get off the stage, so he looked at Ye Xiazhen with dissatisfaction: "Shougong daughter-in-law, that's how you take the child? When an adult speaks, he dares to interject as a little guy?"
And every time it looks like it's deliberately targeting him!
Wang Yuefeng pretended to be aggrieved and closed his mouth at this time.
He has done what should be done, and now, if Dad is smart enough, he should be powerful.
Sure enough, Wang Hutian's question, without waiting for Ye Xiazhen to express his position, Wang Shougong had already spoken, but his voice was a little cold: "Second uncle, don't worry, no matter whether your nephew has money or not, he will not borrow from you, second uncle!"
There was a slight annoyance in his tone.
This is the first time in his life that Wang Shougong has spoken like this to his second uncle!
Wang Hutian's face immediately felt slightly unnatural.
But soon, he calmed down and said cheekily: "Shougong, you also know the situation of my family in the second uncle, 100,000 gold coins is not a decimal number, and I really can't take it out of the second uncle." ”
"However, Second Uncle, I came here now to remind you, if you borrow money, then forget it, but if you don't borrow it, no matter what method you use, in short, you must not give out this house!"
The tone is very tough, and there is no longer the cordiality and politeness that I used to come to sit down.
Wang Shougong, Ye Xiazhen, Wang Huiqiao, and Wang Yuefeng's faces changed at the same time.
