Chapter 29: Kind mother-in-law
"What are you waiting for?"
The voice that was not friendly had echoed in the empty building. The woman's eyes looked at them without moving.
The few of them were a little nervous.
What they were nervous about was not that the woman was going to attack them, but that if they found out that Jiang Po was actually hostile, their previous speculation would be overthrown. It was about to be the birthday party of Master Wanban. It would be so troublesome to overturn it completely at this time.
After a brief silence, Yu Xing smiled, pointed to the shaking bone bell and said, "This bell looks pretty and sounds good. Did you make it?"
When the woman heard this, she turned her gaze slightly, looked at the bell, and said lightly: "No, it was collected by her mother-in-law."
Yu Xing grasped the keywords, is it a collection, not a production?
He seemed puzzled: "What are the mother-in-law collecting these? We seem to have seen them somewhere else-"
"When you see your mother-in-law, ask her yourself." The woman interrupted impatiently, frowning, "Come on."
After saying that, he turned his head again and continued to walk up the stairs.
Everyone had to keep up with this woman with a bad temper. After going up the stairs, their perspective became higher, so they could see the things hanging on the beams.
In addition to sunny dolls and bone bells, there are various knits, dream catchers, and other shapes of wind chimes. There is a human skull hanging in the corner.
These things are tied with thin ropes on their backs and hung in the room, like hanging "people".
The squid's eyes flashed, and he walked a few steps and asked the woman curiously: "Mother-in-law lives on the second floor? Who are you? Do you live here normally?"
The woman didn't look back and showed a look of "Why are you talking so much? Are you upset?" but in the end she answered her question: "My name is Alan."
——Although it is a selective answer.
After a few words, the situation on the first floor was no longer visible. They came to the corridor on the second floor and stopped outside the door second closest to the stairs. Alan knocked on the door, and his tone suddenly became very gentle: "Mother-in-law~ The person you are waiting for is here again."
There was a rumbling sound inside the door.
Then an old but powerful voice came, passing through the wooden door:
"Come in--"
Alan carefully pushed the door open.
Yu Xing's eyes followed the situation and the room looked like a bedroom. There was a straw mat in the bottom, with no tables, chairs, benches, but it was filled with bottles, jars and boxes. There was a very big thing beside the wall, covered by a dirty white cloth, so I couldn't tell what it was.
The legendary "Jiang Po" sat cross-legged on the straw mat, dressed neatly, and her silver-white hair tied an elegant bun on her head.
Her face was a little old, but she looked very kind, which was different from Alan. As the folds of her skin were crisscrossed, her turbid eyes looked over and then smiled.
"Children, come in." She waved to Yu Xing and others.
Several people stepped in one after another.
Seeing this, Alan said to the old lady: "Mother-in-law, I'll go back to my room first."
"You kid, you are still so introverted." The old lady shook her head helplessly, then waved her hand, "Hey... go and go."
After Alan closed the door, the footsteps gradually faded away. The old lady looked up at them with a smile and said, "Sit down... I don't care much about it here, just sit on the ground."
Apart from the floor area where the boxes and jars are placed, the rest of the place is enough for five adults to sit down, but they just need to be very close to their mother-in-law.
Guijiu was the first to come forward and sat down, unscrupulously lit up the old lady at close range. Zhao Mou covered his eyes and sat down immediately, quietly pulling his younger brother, indicating that he should not be so obvious.
Then he said apologetically to the old lady: "Sorry, this person came from another place, has a more direct living habits and does not mean to be offended."
The old lady didn't seem to mind, and shook her head with a smile. After seeing that the rest of the people had done it, she said, "Young people have their own personalities. How great is this? Look at Alan, my old lady has been with her for so many years, and she has been offended by her."
Ren Yi naturally responded: "Yes, she looks pretty fierce."
The old lady was stunned and then smiled. Her teeth were quite complete and she spoke clearly: "Oh, this child was not deliberately meant to be fierce to you. She is just this temper, she has a sharp tongue and a slander, but she is actually kind!"
"That's right, she's nineteen years old. She looks like she's sixteen and seventeen, and no one is with her. I'm worried about her lifelong affairs, and she's not in a hurry..."
Seeing that the topic was about to turn to the marriage of the younger generation for some reason, Zhao Mou cleared his throat, caught anger, and directly inserted it into the topic: "Mother-in-law, you are the Jiang Po mentioned by the people in the town."
"It's me." The mother-in-law looked at him with a smile.
Zhao Mou leaned forward slightly and smiled politely: "Then why don't you ask us what you are doing?"
Yu Xing responded: "Just just heard Alan say that the person you are waiting for is brought here again. Did you know we were coming? And we were not the first ones, right?"
He asked while looking at his mother-in-law's clothes quietly.
This dress is similar to Alan's style, and it is a dark blue shirt and long skirt. The top worn by the old lady is much wider and has large sleeves. She sat cross-legged, and her feet and legs were covered under the clothes.
"No, not bad..." Jiang Po applauded gently with her slightly skinny hands, "Before you, someone has been here. It's the children of the Luo family and the Zhao family. Oh, my place is so lively today."
oh?
Luo Yan and Zhao Zhan have been here today?
Yu Xing's thoughts moved and showed a kind smile that his elders liked: "Mother-in-law, are they here to ask?"
"These children have a miserable life. After suffering all their sins, their souls have been chewed halfway." Jiang Po sighed deeply and stretched out her hand. The hand trembled on the back of the sirens' hands and patted comfortably, "Little girl, you have a miserable life, your life is the most miserable."
Siren: "…"
"You are also here to ask me about the soul, right?" Jiang Po's straightforwardness surprised the deducers. Can she see the degree of their soul defect?
But in which aspect are they missing?
The Siren couldn't see anyone else at the sight of the squid, so he nodded: "Yes, mother-in-law, what will happen if we lose part of our soul?"
Yu Xing listened to their questions and answers, but did not immediately focus on the answers he was about to get.
He was just thinking, it turned out that Luo Yan and the others came to Jiangpolou today, but... why did they not go back?
