Chapter 31: Zhao Shi's boast
Renovate the tavern!
Zhao Shi had already told Jiang Ling'er and her daughter.
Neither of them had any objections.
Originally, running the tavern as two women was already exhausting for them, and now that the child's father was willing to take over, it was naturally the best thing.
As a woman, who would be willing to show up in public if there is a way?
Zhao Shi did not say anything more about the sacrifice. Some things are not suitable to be told to anyone, not even to his closest relatives. The means in the extraordinary world are beyond his imagination.
If someone were to trick him into revealing him before he was strong enough to be fearless of danger, it goes without saying what the outcome would be.
After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he disappeared.
As he disappeared, the jade pendant on the table also disappeared.
After Zhao Shi left, Jiang Linger stayed in the ancestral hall for a while. Only after she calmed down and the blush on her face disappeared did she walk out of the hall.
Zhao Yan was waiting not far away.
Seeing his mother coming out, he hurried over to her, looked her up and down, and said to her jokingly, "Hey! Hubby~~~~"
"Go away, you silly girl, how are you going to get married in the future? It was your father who told me that girls must be raised in wealth and must be spoiled, otherwise how dare you play such a joke on me!"
"Look at Chen Ya, who is the same age as you. She is like a mouse seeing a cat when facing her parents. She doesn't even dare to breathe, for fear that her parents will sell her to her brother to marry!"
Jiang Linger's face, which had just recovered, turned red again because of her daughter's teasing. She angrily slapped her daughter on the forehead and started to teach her a lesson.
"Yes, yes, yes, who made me have such a good father and mother!"
Zhao Yan didn't care and nodded repeatedly with a smile.
But she knew in her heart that compared to Chen Ya, she was really happy, and this was thanks to the influence of her father on her mother.
I was originally wondering what kind of person my father was, and why my mother would do this to me.
Over the years, there have been people who wanted to marry her mother.
Seeing her now, even though it’s only been a few days and she hasn’t called her father dad, she can feel her father’s respect for her mother and his love for her.
"You, don't have a good mother, but a good father!" Jiang Linger tapped her daughter's forehead and left with a smile.
She laughed the most today among these days, and it was only today that she felt that her child’s father had completely returned.
The gap left by time has disappeared.
"Hey, Zhao family, look at the smile on your face, has something good happened to you?"
"Zhao family, did you find the money?"
"You guys are just short-sighted. How can you not smile when your man comes back?"
Walking on the street, the smile on Jiang Ling'er's face never disappeared, attracting waves of sidelong glances. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, which was exactly what Jiang Ling'er was like now. Not only did men feel moved when they looked at her, but women also felt jealous. When she passed by several women who were doing needlework at the door, the women immediately teased Jiang Ling'er.
Among these voices, some were truly happy for her, while others were jealous.
Regardless of whether it was sincere or false, or just a joke, it was obvious that the story of Zhao Shixiansheng had spread throughout Anpingfang.
That’s right, there were so many people there last night, how could it be hidden?
If it were in the past, Jiang Ling'er might have retorted a few words, or even pointed at the other person's nose and yelled at him.
If an orphan and a widow are not a little aggressive, they will be bullied to death.
But today, she had no interest in dealing with them.
He let these women tease him, just nodded and left.
"What's the air about?"
"Isn't it just the spirit of the dead man that appeared?"
"What's so great."
“It’s still visible but not tangible!”
Watching Jiang Ling'er walk away, one of the women stretched her neck and spoke loudly towards Jiang Ling'er's back with an indignant look on her face.
Another woman saw the man working in her yard, staring at Jiang Linger's back, and was so angry that she threw the needle and thread in her hand to the ground, and took over the conversation and spoke loudly.
"that is!"
"So what if she's beautiful? Her man can only look at her but can't touch her!" "Unlike us, we have men to touch us every night!"
It was such a loud voice, and it was said intentionally for her to hear, so Jiang Ling'er naturally heard it.
But I didn't care.
So what if I can’t touch it?
How could they understand the goodness of their own men?
"Snapped!"
Before Jiang Linger walked far, she heard a crisp sound behind her.
Turn around and look.
I saw an honest man coming out of his house. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and gave one of the women a big slap, yelling, "You loser woman, get out of here!"
"Pa, if I hear you gossiping on the street again, I'll tear your mouth apart. Pa, pa." The honest man's shouting and cursing could be faintly heard from the yard, and every curse was accompanied by a crisp sound and a woman's scream.
Jiang Linger heard it vaguely, which made the smile on her face even brighter.
She knew that the power of the child's father's action last night had shown itself
That's the benefit of having a man.
A family has no confidence without a man.
Zhao Yan also experienced this situation.
Although her former girlfriends are now mothers, they still like to gossip. One of them curiously asked her, "Did her father really use silver plates when he ate?"
Some people even asked her, "When your father used to drink, did he really drink half a bottle and throw away the other half?"
Some asked her, "Is it true that her father used to live in a house where only pigs' trotters were eaten and the hoes in the house were made of black iron that could cut through hair with a single blow?"
Some even asked her if her father really used the finest rice paper to wipe his butt when he went to the toilet.
etc.
These questions confused Zhao Yan.
When Zhao Yan curiously asked them where they heard this, these little girlfriends told her that it was the elders in the family who said this, saying that your father and mother said this when they were drunk on the night of their wedding.
Zhao Shi didn’t know all this. After the incense was burned out, he went straight back to his own world.
Stroking the jade pendant in his hand.
It just feels warm and smooth, as if there is a layer of grease on the jade.
White jade?
Zhao Shi thought to himself.
He had not studied jade and had never seen the real thing, but he knew the characteristics of mutton-fat jade. This piece of mutton-fat jade was very similar to the description of mutton-fat white jade.
As to whether the two are the same, Zhao Shi is not sure.
He took out his cell phone, searched for photos of mutton-fat white jade, and found descriptions of mutton-fat white jade, and compared them with the jade pendant in his hand.
long time!
Give up helplessly.
There are very detailed descriptions about mutton-fat white jade on the Internet, but when he looked at it, he couldn't see anything. He couldn't tell whether the jade pendant in his hand was the same as the picture on the phone, or what the difference was.
wrong!
If there is one thing that is similar, it is 'smooth and warm!'
For other aspects, you can only seek help from professionals.
The only place Zhao Shi could think of to find professionals was the antique city.
But he is a newbie and is afraid of being cheated.
So I found a blogger on a live streaming platform who specializes in helping people identify jade.
There is no direct conflict of interest between the two of them, so what they say is still credible to a certain extent.
