chapter 15 Go back to your parents' home

With the tiger weighing several hundred kilograms less, Abraham Jin and others returned much faster. They set off from the county government after lunch and returned to Xihe Bay before dark.

"Here, candied haws on a stick!"

After sending away the villagers who were watching the excitement, Abraham Jin took out an oil paper parcel from his cloth bag.

"Why did you buy so many?"

Julianna Guan opened the oil paper and found that there were more than a dozen candied haws inside.

"After finally going to the county government, I naturally have to buy more."

Abraham Jin smiled and took out one: "I heard from the waiter at the inn that this is the best candied haws in the county. You should try it too."

"Xiao'e will definitely be very happy if she sees these candied haws."

Julianna Guan can't wait to fly back now.

In just a few days, she changed from a disaster star that everyone hated to a blessed person that everyone envied.

She couldn't wait to tell her mother and sister the good news.

Naturally, you can't go early in the morning when visiting relatives. Even if Julianna Guan has already returned home, she still waits until the sun rises the next day before setting off.

"Oh, the scourge of the Third Family is back again!"

"I told you that no one wants such a disaster star. Look, they have driven you back in just three days, right?"

"I don't think I came back in a hurry. The two of them just laughed a little bit."

"If you're not here in a hurry, what is that man doing carrying a bag? It must contain money-losing goods."

"How do you know? What if it's a gift from my son-in-law to my father-in-law?"

"In your half-life, you have seen several sons-in-law give gifts to their father-in-law, not to Julianna Guan is a disaster star."

"There was a tiger in the back mountain yesterday. Maybe it was caused by the disaster star. Go and call the third child back. We can't let the disaster star come back to the village again!"

…

As soon as she entered the village, the gossip completely ruined Guan Xiaorou's good mood.

Instead, he was filled with fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Abraham Jin held Julianna Guan's hand slightly and said, "Do you remember what I said? We don't eat their rice, so just treat their words as farts."

"Um!"

Julianna Guan felt the warmth in her palms, her heart slowly calmed down, and she stopped in front of the door of a small dilapidated courtyard.

In the yard, a seven or eight-year-old girl was lying on the wall, pulling something with her hands. When she heard footsteps, she slowly raised her head.

Seeing that the person coming was Julianna Guan, the little girl shouted in surprise: "Hey, sister, are you back?"

"Xiao'e, what are you doing?"

Julianna Guan walked over quickly and pulled the little girl up from the ground.

"Sister, I heard a cricket chirping here, its nest must be here."

The little girl pointed to the root of the wall and said, "Sister, let me down. I'll catch the crickets and roast them for us to eat together."

"Xiao'e, sister-in-law didn't let you eat yesterday?"

Julianna Guan hugged the little girl, her tears red.

"My sister-in-law said that I wouldn't survive anyway, and eating would be a waste of food. She also told my elder brother to throw me into the mountains behind...".

The little girl also started crying: "Sister, they said you are married. Can you take me away? Don't let the elder brother throw me into the back mountain. There are wolves in the back mountain. I'm afraid... I will spin thread for you." I can also dig wild vegetables, sister, can you take me with you..."

Julianna Guan held the little girl tightly in her arms, raised her head and looked at Abraham Jin with pleading eyes: "The head of the family..."

Abraham Jin nodded, feeling his throat was blocked.

Creak!

A middle-aged woman with messy hair opened the door.

"mother!"

Julianna Guan wiped her tears: "This is my boss..."

The middle-aged woman looked at her daughter with tears on her face, her face changed drastically, and before Abraham Jin and Julianna Guan could speak, she rushed over and knelt down to Abraham Jin:

"Uncle, since you picked Xiaorou to be your mother-in-law in the wedding party, you can't send her back...Uncle, please do a good job and take Xiaorou back, otherwise her brother will beat her to death when he comes back..."

"Auntie, that's not the case!"

Abraham Jin quickly supported Doris Guan.

Just kidding, what does it mean when my mother-in-law kowtows to me for the first time when we meet?

Although, this mother-in-law is still a little bit speechless.

"Mom, the boss is not trying to drive me back. We are here to see you."

Julianna Guan also quickly explained.

"real?"

Doris Guan couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true. The head of the house even brought a gift for my mother."

Julianna Guan took off the cloth bag from Abraham Jin's shoulder and took out things one by one: "These two rabbits were hunted the day before yesterday. The master has marinated them with salt. Mom can keep them and eat them slowly. This piece of cloth is from the master yesterday. Bought by the county government to make clothes for my mother..."

"Uncle, are these for me?"

Doris Guan eyes widened.

In her half-life, this was the first time someone gave her a gift.

I gave away so many things at once.

"Auntie, the gift is a bit shabby, don't dislike it."

Abraham Jin was a little embarrassed.

Even after two lifetimes, this was the first time he met his mother-in-law. The most valuable things he brought were two hares, which made him feel a little unable to get rid of them.

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it! There are too many, and they are all good things..."

Doris Guan quickly waved her hand, then turned to look at Julianna Guan: "What does my uncle do?"

With more girls and fewer boys, the status of a son-in-law has also increased. When he usually goes to his parents' house, few people will bring gifts.

There are very few people who carry as much stuff as Abraham Jin does.

"Mom, the head of the family is a scholar, but he can hunt. He is the one who hunts rabbits."

Speaking of Abraham Jin, Julianna Guan was full of pride: "He is also a tiger-fighting hero. The night before yesterday, he shot to death a tiger weighing more than 500 kilograms with only three arrows!"

"Tiger-fighting hero?"

Doris Guan asked with wide eyes: "A few days ago, a tiger came to our back mountain. It was so fierce that the men of the tiger hunting team injured five or six men before they were able to fight it off. Yesterday, I heard from the village chief that there was a tiger in Xihe Bay. He was beaten to death, could it be that he was beaten to death by my uncle?"

"Yes, he is the boss!"

Julianna Guan said proudly.

"Oh my God!"

Doris Guan sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying loudly.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

Julianna Guan was frightened and at a loss: "Did I say something wrong?"

"I'm happy."

Doris Guan wiped her tears and said, "God has finally opened his eyes, Xiaorou, you have found a good uncle!"

"Well, the head of the house is so kind to me. He didn't even hit me when I came in. He let me serve the food on the table and let me eat rice as I pleased. Yesterday when I went to the county government, he even pulled cloth for me to make new clothes!"

"Okay, okay! You finally made it through..."

Doris Guan stroked Julianna Guan's hair, her eyes full of licking her eyes, and she looked at Abraham Jin with more and more fondness: "Uncle, stop standing in the yard and go into the house."

The house was even shabbier than Abraham Jin's house. There was a table with a missing leg and two old benches in the middle. There were two old spinning wheels under the windows.

Other than that, there is nothing.

"Uncle, please sit down and I'll get you a bowl of water."

Doris Guan picked up the broken teapot on the table and trotted to the kitchen to fetch water.

"Sister, have you really eaten rice?"

The little girl finally found a chance to speak.

Holding Julianna Guan's arm, her mouth was almost drooling.
