Chapter 1187: Chapter 1188: Not What I Imagined

Additionally, the floor was filthy too, and there was a stench outside the yard. They even stepped in chicken feces when they entered earlier. Ugh... utterly disgusting.

From here in the hall, one could see the stove, a big earthen one, with its chamber blackened, and below it was piled some straw and dry firewood, which looked extremely messy.

I heard that there were black mesh mosquito nets here, and even the beds were surrounded by wood panels and painted with things, making them look downright eerie and terrible.

That’s why they despised the countryside.

If they had to stay here, they would surely break down.

So, it would be great if they could finish their business and rush back today.

Unfortunately, it seemed impossible to finish today since they hadn’t even seen the people yet.

Ho Laidi had chatted with them for a long time but hadn’t managed to find out much, not even what Deng Qingjiang was currently doing. She inwardly cursed these two sisters, thinking these city folks indeed were cunning.

"Shall we have lunch at home then? Do you have any dietary restrictions? Tell me so I can go and prepare," Ho Laidi stood up, her eyes still on the boxes they had brought.

If she was going to keep them for lunch, it wouldn’t be nice to carry these items away afterward, right?

As for Chiang Laoer and the others, just randomly getting a couple of pounds of candy from Aunt Juan’s little shop should do, after all, it was she who had hosted them.

"No need to trouble yourself, aunt, when exactly will my parents be back? Can’t you find someone to call them back..."

Before Chen Kaijin could finish, they heard someone outside shouting "Uncle Songhai, you’re back."

She immediately tugged Chen Sue’s arm, "It seems like my dad’s back."

The two quickly picked up the boxes they had placed on the table and turned to leave.

Ho Laidi felt annoyed and immediately said, "Hey! You should leave at least two boxes! If you don’t, won’t Second Uncle just have to bring it back? Just put it down first!"

Chen Sue couldn’t help but snicker, "Oh dear, sis, this is honestly the first time I’ve seen someone openly asking for gifts. Even kids wouldn’t ask, isn’t it embarrassing?"

"Enough, say less." Chen Kaijin whispered hurriedly, addressing Ho Laidi, "Aunt, why don’t you come along too, let my dad and mom decide what’s appropriate to give you."

That meant they had to carry everything over; they definitely needed Songhai and Ge Liutao to see the amount of gifts they had brought.

How he would distribute the gifts afterward was none of her business.

Ho Laidi gritted her teeth, her face darkened.

Could she really go and ask for them?

She didn’t know if Chiang Xiao was coming back with them or not.

If Chiang Xiao was there, she definitely wouldn’t dare to ask.

As soon as Chen Kaijin and Chen Sue exited the gate of the Old Chiang Family home, they saw that the door next door was already open.

They hurriedly went through the door.

"Dad, Mom, I’ve come to visit you both," Chen Kaijin called out sweetly as she entered.

Songhai and Ge Liutao were already waiting for them in the yard, and the two sides met.

Naturally, the Chen sisters were dressed in stylish and tasteful fashion, but having lived in the county town for a long time and even visited the provincial city several times, Songhai and Ge Liutao’s horizons were no longer as narrow as before.

Thus, they didn’t find anything particularly remarkable about them.

However, the Chen Sisters were quite surprised to see Songhai and his wife.

Especially Chen Kaijin.

Deng Qingjiang had told her that these two old people looked old and frail, typical of impoverished old farmers.
