Suisui at Seventy - Chapter 123

On Saturday morning two days later, Jiang Suisui and Song Weizheng left the school gate, carrying seasonal fruits bought on the road, and knocking on Professor Liang’s door.

The moment they opened the door, they unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

“Come? Long time no see, please come in, please come in!” Chen Zhenghua warmly entertained them into the house.

Song Weizheng nodded to him and said, “Long time no see.”

Jiang Suisui smiled and said, “Hello.”

“You’re welcome, come in quickly.” Chen Zhenghua greeted him, “Yesterday I heard the teacher say that you are going to eat, so I came here with a cheeky.”

The people in the room also heard the sound at the door at this moment. Liang Sihui still had a handful of green onions in her hand, and ran out of the kitchen in a hurry, his eyes almost sticking to Song Weizheng.

She happily said: “Brother Song, you are here! Come in and sit down quickly, I will pour tea for you.”

“No need.” Jiang Suisui hurriedly stopped. “Thanks for your hard work, we can do it ourselves.”

Professor Liang also stood up and waved: “Wei Zheng, Sui Sui, come and sit down. Sihui, you don’t need to entertain this, there are so many people.”

“Okay…” Liang Sihui had to move back to the kitchen in three steps, and shouted as he walked, “I’m going to cook, and try my craft at noon!”

Professor Liang smiled and shook his head: “This child, I have never been so active when I let her cook. I only know how to behave when the guests come to the house.”

Jiang Suisui and Song Weizheng smiled slightly, and were speechless at Professor Liang’s rough nerves.

Chen Zhenghua on the side noticed Liang Sihui’s thoughts carefully. His pouring action stopped, and he quickly changed the subject: “I didn’t expect to come out of Dayan Village. We can meet again. It is also very fate.”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately triggered Professor Liang’s words. He pulled the two of them with a lot of emotion and talked about the past, and he also asked them with concern about their current situation in the past two years.

Liang Sihui slipped out again while the soup was in the middle, and sat aside silently, listening with gusto.

When I accidentally heard Jiang Suisui calling Professor Liang, Liang Sihui couldn’t help but interject: “My dad hasn’t taught at school anymore, now it’s time to call Director Liang.”

The tone is a bit blunt, and a bit ostentatious.

Jiang Suisui was taken aback, his face was a little surprised, Song Weizheng frowned, his face a little cold.

“Sihui!” Professor Liang scolded, “What they like to call me, I like to hear others call my professor what’s wrong?”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Chen Zhenghua hurriedly said, “Both titles are okay, they both mean respect. I still can’t change my habit of calling teachers.”

Liang Sihui was embarrassed, her face was a little bit uncontrollable, she whispered: “I’ll correct a title, what’s wrong…”

Chen Zhenghua had no choice but to calm down: “Sister sister, let’s go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready. Brother is also going to make a few dishes today. Would you like to help me give some advice?

Reluctantly, Liang Sihui was pulled back to the kitchen by Chen Zhenghua.

Professor Liang sighed, and seemed to complain and relieved: “Sihui, this child will never grow up, and you might not be as sensible as you are.”

Jiang Suisui could only smile slightly, without saying anything, Song Weizheng quietly held her hand and squeezed it lightly. The two of them looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

·

When Jiang Suisui and Song Weizheng were guests at Professor Liang’s house, Zhao Jiabao, who had become a habit of stealing jewelry, was finally caught on the spot.

He sat down in despair, standing in front of him was the second elder of the Zhao family who looked at him with disappointed eyes.

Before the two had doubts in their hearts, they planned to pretend to go out these few days, and then kill a carbine to see if they can get the money.

In the end, they really caught them.

When she saw Zhao Jiabao opening the box with the re-engraved key, taking out the jewelry and putting it into her pocket, Mrs. Zhao felt complicated. She even preferred not to see it in her heart, so that she would not be so disappointed.

Father Zhao has a solemn expression. Although their Zhao family has been ups and downs for so many years, they have never forgotten the courtesy, justice and shame. Who knows that in the generation of Zhao Jiabao, there was a thief, what a shame!

If it were not for his poor daughter’s sake, he would definitely break Zhao Jiabao’s leg!

“Say, when did you start taking it? How much did you take? And, why did you steal it! Did you eat and drink when we were short, or didn’t give you money? Jiabao, you really disappointed us…”

Zhao Jiabao still wants to struggle again: “Grandpa, grandma… I, I don’t want to… I have a reason…”

His mind was running fast, but he still didn’t expect how to make up a reason to fool the second old Zhao family without revealing what he was doing.

However, before he could speak, Mrs. Zhao asked first, “Honestly tell your grandmother, did you look at another girl outside and show her some kindness?”

Zhao Jiabao was taken aback, then reacted, and immediately said: “I, I…I am indeed! Sorry, grandma!”

He covered his eyes and “cries bitterly” and confessed: “It’s me who is fascinated by the heart, and people look down on me and hang me all the time. I, I impulsively… just want to get something good to please her.”

The old lady Zhao hated that iron could not become steel, and said angrily and anxiously: “Nothing! What kind of girl do you want can’t tell us? Let’s introduce it to you! As for people with shallow eyelids like this!?”

Zhao Jiabao quickly agreed, admitting the mistake with a good attitude: “It was my wrong grandmother, I shouldn’t do this! In the future, I will find a partner, and it is up to you to decide. I only trust your perspective.”

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to soften his heart, Mrs. Zhao stood up and asked in a cold voice: “If you are wrong, you are wrong. After you say something! Make up for your current mistakes first. Take back all the jewelry you took before talking.”

Zhao Jiabao’s body stiffened slightly, and then he smiled flatteringly: “Grandpa, this…what was sent out and brought back, how ugly…it looks like our Zhao family is mad. Or… forget it? I promise I won’t do it again. That’s it!”

The old lady became angry again after hearing this: “How can you forget?! That is your mother’s thing! It is the dowry I prepared for her! Her things, no one can touch her without my permission!”

Zhao Jiabao was shocked, he really didn’t know about it, and he always thought it was one of the family properties saved by the old lady. Therefore, there is always a fluke in my heart, I feel that even if the old lady finds out, as long as she cries and begs, the old lady will be as soft-hearted as before.

What can I do now?

The old lady said again: “Those jewellery are rare and good things. If you dare to give it away, that person will dare to receive it? Seeing the fortune, I must definitely not be a good girl. Our Zhao family does not need to be in front of such a person. Save face.”

“You go now and get your things back, this must not be forgotten!” The old lady was hard-hearted.

Zhao Jiabao is so anxious to scratch his head, how can he continue to fool?

Where is he going to get jewelry now?

At this moment, there was movement from the door, and Zhao Weiguo came back from outside.

He just glanced at the living room and frowned immediately, realizing something was wrong.

“Dad, mom, what’s the matter?”

Zhao Jiabao panicked even more. Zhang Zhangkou wanted to flicker over by himself. The next moment he was stared back by Zhao Weiguo with a stern look, and he quickly shrank his head and dared not say anything.

The two elders of the Zhao family sighed, thinking that they are getting older. They used to spoil Zhao Jiabao too much, but now they can’t control him more and more. Zhao Weiguo is the best master of this family.

So they told Zhao Weiguo about the events of the past few days.

The more Zhao Weiguo listened, the uglier his face became. His eyes were like sharp swords, almost piercing the disguise of Zhao Jiabao’s guilty conscience.

The old lady Zhao sighed after speaking, and said: “Weiguo, when Jiabao asks for his things, he will be disciplined by you in the future, and I will never stop him anymore.”

Zhao Jiabao said pitifully, “Grandma, don’t care about me…”

At this time, Zhao Weiguo suddenly shouted: “Zhao Jiabao!”

Zhao Jiabao was so scared that he shook his body and immediately sat down.

Zhao Weiguo slowly walked up to him, staring at him inch by inch with a stern look in his eyes, as if trying to penetrate all his lies.

Zhao Jiabao always lied without drafting, but under Zhao Weiguo’s majesty, he was so guilty that he broke into cold sweats.

After a difficult silence, Zhao Weiguo suddenly asked, “Where is your jade pendant?”

Zhao Jiabao shook again. He quickly tried to say something to conceal it, but he found that his voice was shaking as soon as he said: “Jade, jade… Jade wear is placed elsewhere. I, I, I have never liked wearing things around my neck. You know, uncle, too.”

The two elders of the Zhao family didn’t understand why Zhao Weiguo suddenly became concerned about the jade pendant: “Weiguo, Jiabao always said that it’s uncomfortable to wear things on the neck, so we don’t usually wear it very much. We all know this.”

Zhao Weiguo was unmoved, he said coldly: “Where did you put it? Take it out and have a look.”

Zhao Jiabao’s forehead began to sweat: “I put it in the house, in the house, specifically…Where is it, I, I, I can’t remember it, I will look for it later, ah—”

Before he could speak, Zhao Weiguo violently pulled him up by the collar, describing him as embarrassed and his complexion flushed.

Zhao Weiguo: “I’ll say it again, tell me the truth, where did the jade pendant go? Was it in the house, or… was it sent out by you too!?”

The two elders of the Zhao family were shocked when they heard the words, and looked at Zhao Weiguo and Zhao Jiabao in disbelief. They panicked for a moment.

Zhao Jiabao was hugged by his collar and held his neck uncomfortably. He insisted for a while and had to beg for mercy: “I said I said! Yes, I sent it out…”

Zhao Weiguo let go, and Zhao Jiabao fell to the ground, panting in embarrassment.

The old lady Zhao recovered, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Jiabao and slapped her, while crying, “You prodigal! Conscienceless! That is the only relic your mother left you! Such a precious thing, how dare you!”

Zhao Weiguo’s stern words contained mockery: “Relics? He doesn’t even want to wear them on his body. What is precious to him? You are all starting to steal the things in your house. Do you still expect him to cherish it? Piece of jade pendant?”

He even had doubts about Zhao Jiabao’s saying that he gave jewelry to the girl. How could such a selfish and headstrong person give so much without reservation?
