He left after sending the stuff.
“So called me just to make me look good?” Su Ji asked calmly.
In the past, Zhang Guihua had no qualms with her words and was especially mean. If she did not suffer all these insults, her granddaughter would not be able to calm down. She choked but still smiled. “I’m worried about you. Isn’t today the Qingming Festival? The Pei family had to sweep the graves during the Qingming Festival, right? Grandma is afraid that you will have a conflict with the Pei family because of this.”
“What conflict?” The printer stopped working and spat out the last piece of A4 paper. Su Ji casually threw her phone to the side, tidied up all the printed things, and found a bag to put them in.
Zhang Guihua’s vision turned to the ceiling of the Pei family’s study. She couldn’t see her granddaughter, but she heard the sound of plastic bags.
“What other conflict could it be?” Zhang Guihua looked at the pause in the noise and said, “last time, because of the ancestral worship, you gave your father a good beating on New Year’s Eve. How could I not know?”
That night, when it was time to worship the ancestors, Zhang Guihua went to the ancestral hall on time.
She wanted to see if the tribute was prepared according to the rules.
In the end…
Her ancestral hall was empty!
The ancestral tablets were gone, and the mourning hall was empty, leaving only a few roasted chickens.
Zhang Guihua’s face turned green on the spot!
Her first reaction was that there was a thief at home, but before the phone connected to 110, she reacted.
Which thief would choose to steal those wooden tablets instead of gold and silver?
They must be crazy.
But later, Zhang Guihua found out that it wasn’t a thief who had gone crazy, but her son who had gone crazy!
Zhang Guihua was apologizing to her ancestors at the ancestral hall while waiting for her son to bring back the ancestral tablet. In the end, she waited until late at night!
So that day, not only was Su Cunyi beaten up by his precious daughter, but he was also beaten up by his mother.
Hearing Zhang Guihua’s words, Su Ji fell silent. She put the bag aside and picked up thr phone again. “What does this have to do with the Pei family?”
“Grave-sweeping is always done by the men at home…” Zhang Guihua seemed to be afraid of something and did not finish her sentence. She wanted to say something but hesitated. “My grandson-in-law has to go today, right? I heard that the Pei family’s cemetery is located in a remote area. You’re about to give birth. Rest well at home and don’t get involved. It’s not good for your body to be tired on the road…”
“Just this?” Su Ji held hrt phone in one hand and the bag in the other as she walked out. “You don’t have to worry about this.”
On the screen, Zhang Guihua nodded in relief.
The next second, she heard her granddaughter say, “I’ll go with him later.”
“What?” Zhang Guihua almost choked. “Don’t be so insensible. Little Pei dotes on you. He won’t stop you if you want to go. But just because he doesn’t say it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to, you…”
Su Ji’s patience ran out. Two veins popped out on her forehead and she was on the verge of exploding. However, at this moment, Zhang Guihua suddenly stopped and stared at the image. A figure entered the image behind Su Ji…
Just as Su Ji was feeling annoyed, she was suddenly pulled into a firm embrace. The fragrance of the firwood instantly invaded her nose.
Pei Huai’s shoulders were held by a large and powerful palm. He bent down and leaned closer to the phone in her hand.
“Grandma.”
These two words were said in Pei Huai’s deep voice, and Zhang Guihua’s old bones felt like they were going to melt.
If she remembered correctly, this was the first time her grandson-in-law had called her grandma!
“Are you… sowing discord?” Pei Huai immediately asked.
What was this?
Zhang Guihua explained, “I love to see you two in love, why would I do that”
“I see.” Pei Huai’s tone was secretive. “Looks like I misunderstood…”
Zhang Guihua smiled awkwardly. “I’m afraid that my granddaughter is insensible and insists on going to the grave.”
Pei Huai’s next sentence was something that Zhang Guihua had never expected.
“I asked her to.”
Zhang Guihua: “What??”
Pei Huai replied calmly, “I was the one who begged her to accompany me.”
Zhang Guihua’s eyes widened. She looked at her granddaughter and then at her grandson-in-law. She could not believe that this was true.
However, Su Ji shrugged her shoulders and looked calm.
It was a three-hour drive. If he did not see his wife, it would be a disaster for Pei Huai.
So, he was indeed the one who begged Su Ji to go.
Zhang Guihua said, “does Old Master Pei have any objections to her going to the cemetery as a girl?”
Pei Huai curled his lips. “Grandfather’s only opinion on this matter is that I must drive properly so that his granddaughter-in-law won’t get carsick…”
