Chapter 315: How to return it? They've all been sold!
No old person can treat everyone equally.
Even if the person is dead.
Despite the village chief's strong persuasion, Old Xu still insisted on leaving all his money and house to his youngest son, and dividing the only land he had equally among his three sons.
However, the funeral expenses had to be shared equally by the three sons.
Old Xu's existence as a ghost did indeed frighten his descendants. It was said that until the village chief wrote the document, the Xu family's descendants had no objections.
Zhang Ju couldn't help but mutter, "What did I say? The funeral turned into such a mess. The adults definitely did something wrong."
Xu Dasheng sighed: "Among the three brothers, Ashan lives the poorest. Maybe that's why?"
"Why is Ashan the poorest? Does he work? It's all done by his wife. He spends every day either playing cards or drinking. Look at his two sons, they're just like him, poor and arrogant. They deserve it because they can't even get married now."
"From my perspective, Old Xu has been supporting Ashan for so many years, and now he's leaving his two sons feeling sad. I wonder if he's lost his mind."
Du Jie said disdainfully: "The money and the house have been taken. I guess the eldest brother will have to come to pay respects in the future. Tsk tsk, if I were Xu's sister-in-law, I would divorce her directly. What kind of person is this?"
"Uncle Xu will probably be able to offer his respects to his ancestors. In another twenty years, it will be the turn of his grandchildren to offer their respects. Let's see if they still burn paper money!" Xu Jiating snorted. "Grandpa Xu will have to live a poor life over there in the future. He deserves it."
Ah Hua smiled and said, "A Ting is right. Mom, Dad, and Grandpa Xu are gone. Let's not talk about it anymore. Just live your own life well."
Xu Dasheng nodded: "Yes, yes, cook quickly."
When the Xu family's eight-immortal table was filled with dishes, Xu Jiatao also dug out a dozen roasted sweet potatoes.
“Eat first and then eat the baked sweet potatoes.”
Seeing Xu Jiating couldn't wait to peel the roasted sweet potatoes, Zhang Ju hurriedly tried to persuade her.
"Sister, don't listen to Mom, eat quickly. How can you eat sweet potatoes when you're full? Don't you think so?"
"Brother, sister-in-law, Ajie Agui, hurry up, eat sweet potatoes!"
Zhang Ju raised the spatula, thought for a moment, then gave Xu Jiating a loving look and put the spatula down.
"Hot, grandma will peel it for you, Yueyue."
In a short while, the whole family, including Xu Dasheng, looked like beggars after eating so much.
Ah Hua sucked in two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes in one breath and squinted his eyes happily.
"Sister, will you come back during the New Year and other holidays?"
"Brother-in-law, you should be free, right?"
Su Chen nodded: "If I have time, I will try my best to bring Ahua back."
Xu Jiating smiled and said, "Yeah, sister, if I have more children in the future, you can help me take care of them!"
Zhang Ju quickly knocked her on the forehead: "What? You still want your sister to help you feed and change diapers?"
"Mom, I'm in confinement. If you keep knocking, I'll become stupid and blame you."
"I'm afraid you're not a bad person. You're already married and have children, but you're still acting like a child..."
Su Chen looked at Ahua.
As she sipped on her own portion of side dish, the corners of her mouth curled up.
Meeting his gaze, she silently said thank you.
The Xu family had not finished their lunch yet when someone came to their door.
"Old Wu? Why are you here? Have you eaten?" Zhang Ju called out and went to get a chair.
Old Wu waved his hand to refuse, scratched his head, looked at Su Chen, thought for a while, and pulled Xu Dasheng outside.
"Ah Sheng, I heard your son-in-law is quite capable. My son Dadong suddenly fainted a while ago. He didn't have a fever, and no matter how I pinched his Ren Zhong point, he wouldn't wake up. I was thinking... could I get a talisman to soak in water for him to drink?"
Xu Dasheng frowned: "If anyone faints, send them to the hospital first."
How do I ask for the talisman first?
Generally, when going to the hospital for treatment is of no use, people will choose to seek talismans and drink water.
Why did Old Wu come here directly?
Old Wu scratched his forehead, glanced at the Eight Immortals Table, and lowered his voice: "Dadong has been running outside a lot at night recently, usually in the mountains and wild places."
Xu Dasheng understood.
Old Wu probably just concluded that his son was possessed by evil spirits.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to Achen."
"Hey, hey, thank you, thank you."
At the eight-immortal table, Xu Jiating curiously asked Ah Hua, "Sister, I remember you and Dadong were classmates?"
Ah Hua nodded: "Yes, we went to school together in town before, and we have a good relationship."
Whenever she returned to her parents' home after her wedding, she would greet them with a smile. Occasionally, Dadong would invite her to his home for tea, but she always refused.
Thinking about this, Ah Hua looked at Zhang Ju and said, "Mom, I remember Dadong was always in good health, right?"
As long as she doesn't have a near-death experience during childbirth like Ating and her, there shouldn't be any serious problems.
Zhang Ju nodded: "Yeah, he's been doing fine like a calf. I guess he just caught a cold. He's fine."
Huang Shaowei agreed: "It's indeed a little colder here than at home, especially in the morning, when the sun doesn't shine for a long time."
Su Chen didn't say a word.
He picked up a piece of meat for Acai and watched the little guy put it in his mouth. His mouth was covered with oil and he wiped it with a handkerchief. Then he saw Xu Dasheng come in again and whispered something in his ear.
Su Chen nodded, put down his chopsticks and walked out.
Old Wu rubbed his hands nervously, waiting for Su Chen to speak.
After a long time without any response, he raised his head cautiously and met Su Chen's calm eyes, and was shocked.
It was as if all the secrets in my heart were revealed.
He lowered his eyes hurriedly.
"Uncle Wu, I'm afraid I can't do anything about Dadong's situation."
After hearing this, Xu Dasheng was stunned.
"...Ah? Ah Chen, can't you draw the talisman?"
Su Chen shook his head.
"Dad, I brought yellow paper and cinnabar, so I can draw the talisman."
And even if you don’t bring it with you, it’s quick to go home and get it.
Old Wu hurriedly urged: "Then draw it. I'll pay you. Is one hundred enough?"
Xu Dasheng was shocked by the amount.
Just give one hundred?
Even if you ask a fortune teller for a talisman here, it only costs five or ten yuan. Has Old Wu made a fortune?
"You know very well what Dadong did, right?"
Su Chen looked at Old Wu steadily: "It's not like you haven't fainted before, right?"
Xu Dasheng was surprised: "Ah? Dadong fainted before?"
"No, Old Wu, what's going on?"
Why is it different from what you said before?
Old Wu rubbed his hands again, then gritted his teeth and knelt down directly in front of Su Chen.
"Please, I beg you, please save Dadong, draw a talisman for me to drink when I go back, and drive away the dirt on him, please~"
Xu Dasheng was startled and tried to pull Old Wu up, but Old Wu was pulled down to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
"Ah Sheng, this is my only son. Please help me to plead for him, please!"
Xu Dasheng had never experienced such a situation before. He stood there at a loss, not knowing whether to pull or leave. He was also afraid that others would see him. He was so anxious that veins popped out on his forehead.
Finally, he looked at Su Chen for help.
Su Chen sighed: "Dad, Dadong took something that belonged to someone else. Unless he returns it, otherwise..."
He shook his head: "No way."
Old Wu stiffened, his shoulders drooping. "Return? How? I sold them all!"
Xu Dasheng was confused: "What did you sell?"
He didn't understand, but Xu Jiatao and Huang Shaowei in the room heard it clearly.
The two men exchanged glances, one came out to pull Xu Dasheng, and the other pulled Su Chen, and soon they left Old Wu crying outside.
Zhang Ju was curious: "You guys don't care about Old Wu anymore?"
