It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 163 The mourning hall (4095 words in total)
"Huh?" Ah Qi raised her head and glanced forward again, just for a short second.

A big change occurred in the mourning hall.

Someone knocked over the candlestick and two of the candles went out.

But it's not over yet.

There was a huge bang behind Ah Qi.

Everyone was startled by the sound and turned their heads to look.

I don’t know when two young people came to the yard in front of the mourning hall, dressed in the same clothes as Ah Qi.

One was hurriedly picking up the paper money on the ground, and the other was holding the cracked statue with a sweaty face and nervous expression.

Ah Qi silently took two steps to the side.

He didn't notice anyone appearing behind him just now, and didn't hear any footsteps.

The trembling young man was thrown next to the child.

The middle-aged woman was not annoyed, she just stretched out her foot and kicked the trembling young man next to her, "Kneel down."

It seemed like something terrible had happened.

"My goodness!"

It can be seen that the response just now was caused by the collision between two people. Paper money was scattered on the ground, and the statue was also cracked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the statue he was holding made a slight sound again.

And he is also a cunning character.

I just don’t know what the relationship is between his current identity and the people in front of him.

What if we attack him too?
Ah Qi took the opportunity to slip out of the mourning hall.

Judging from the meaning of the middle-aged woman's words just now, the relationship between myself and the other party should not be considered good.

Ah Qi was smarter this time and didn't reply, but reluctantly turned his head to the side.

The younger son is a child who has just left for a break. He is also very popular with the middle-aged woman, but the relationship between the two is not very good.

"what happened?"

Ah Qi was stunned and immediately responded: "Okay."

Just hearing the title doesn't sound like a family.

The young man lying on the ground was kicked more than a meter away. He struggled to raise his head and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His body was shaking uncontrollably as he looked at the middle-aged woman who was still cursing.

The trembling young man immediately straightened his posture, not even daring to wipe the blood on his mouth, and knelt straight.

However, this straightforward reply caused the woman to stare at him for a long time, "I'm warning you, don't play tricks on me, or you will get the best of you!"

The whispers were so loud that Ah Qi didn't even have to listen carefully.

"Idol!"

The middle-aged woman gently took out the handkerchief from her arms and wiped the child's face. She patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Good boy, go back and rest. When you finish eating, I will ask my second brother to call you."

"What happened to my family today? Everything went wrong." The middle-aged woman who was crying inside hurriedly ran out. Looking at the cracked statues and scattered paper money, her face suddenly turned pale.

Bang.

"If not for this, grandma wouldn't have fallen to death because she wasn't seen."

The child didn't say anything, he just pushed the middle-aged woman's hand away and left the mourning hall expressionlessly.

The second son is a young man holding a stone statue. He is very popular with middle-aged women and has a bad relationship with the eldest son.

What do you mean?
Ah Qi was confused, feeling that if he stayed any longer, he might be noticed by middle-aged women again.

She angrily stretched out her hand and grabbed one of them by the ear, "You little bastard, you can't move anything steadily, what else can I expect from you!"

A sneer appeared on the lips of the young man watching the show holding the statue, but it quickly disappeared.

It is known that the young man who was kicked was the eldest son of the family, not the biological son of the middle-aged woman, and the relationship was very poor.

Sure enough, the woman stopped staring at him and walked directly to the young man who was still lying on the ground shaking. She stretched out her hand and dragged him into the mourning hall. As she walked, she continued to say: "Your little brother is weak and has been kneeling all morning. Now it is your turn."

It was split right in the middle, as if it was about to be split into two.

The young man holding the stone statue smiled proudly upon seeing this, and slowly took the stone statue in his hand and walked forward. When passing by where Ah Qi was standing, he winked at him.

After saying that, he kicked the young man who was half kneeling on the ground to pick up the paper and said, "And you, why don't you walk with your eyes on the ground?"

The trembling young man was helpless under the drag of the middle-aged woman.

Two crooked lines were drawn on the ground.

Except for Ah Qi, who had been observing the situation, no one noticed anything unusual about the other party.

The gaping hole became even larger.

"You are a piece of trash, just like your own mother." The middle-aged woman cursed the young man on the ground again, turned to Ah Qi and shouted: "Xiao Qi, clean this place up."

The only person related to him is his second son, and they seem to have a good relationship.

"Mom, my eldest brother has always been like this. His bad eyesight doesn't last a day or two."

Otherwise, why would you give him a look alone just now?

I just don’t know what the other person wants to express.

After wandering around twice, I found that there were only three areas where I could move.

The mourning hall area, housing area and front yard area.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, and you turned out to be here." The second son appeared out of nowhere and stood behind Ah Qi.

I don’t know how long I watched it.

Hell, there was no sound again this time.

Ah Qi hasn't figured out the relationship between the two yet, so she doesn't know how to reply, so she can only remain silent.

"Why don't you say anything? I just looked at you." Seeing this, the second son smiled and took two steps closer, whispering: "I know you are anxious to find a bond, but my mother is keeping a close eye on you, and it's not that easy. succeed."

"So I need more money to divert my mother's attention."

"How much do you want?" Ah Qi heard the implication of the other party's words and asked pretending to be unhappy.

"Same as last time." The second son stretched out his finger and gestured.

Ah Qi had no idea how much it was last time, so she felt a little nervous when she saw what the other party had done.

"Hey, hey, why are you looking like this again?" There was a hint of displeasure in the second son's eyes, and he bumped Ah Qi's shoulder with his shoulder, "Believe me, this is really the last time."

Ah Qi thought for a moment and tried to answer, "Can you really get the deed of betrayal?"

"Of course!" The second son heard the wavering in Ah Qi's tone and continued: "The old woman is dead, my eldest brother is a loser, and my younger brother is too young."

"And you also know that my father has always been afraid of his wife, and my mother loves me the most and values ​​me the most."

"Who else can inherit the family business besides me?"

Ah Qi thought about it and nodded, pretending to be convinced, "I understand. I don't have the money, I'll give it to you later."

"Okay, anyway, just remember to give it to me today, it will be useful." The second son smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Ah Qi on the shoulder, shook his head and left happily.

They had no idea that there was another pair of eyes behind them watching all this quietly.

I fumbled around the front yard twice more, but found nothing new.

As for the housing area, it was difficult for him to enter rashly. If there was anyone else inside, he wouldn't be able to tell for a while.

There might even be flaws exposed.

It seems that we still have to go back to the mourning hall to find information.

The mourning hall is very large, not just the area we saw just now.

There is still more than half of the space in the back, where five or six elderly people are sitting. As soon as they saw Ah Qi, they waved cordially, "Xiao Qi is here."

The old people looked at the younger generation trotting over lovingly, with smiles on their lips.

Ah Qi could feel the kindness and warmth radiating from the old people, and quickly leaned over.

Maybe we can get more information from them.

An old man wearing a brown coat with a few small flowers embroidered on his face smiled and held Ah Qi's hand, took out a small handful of candy from his arms and stuffed it in.

The sugar is a very low-quality, fruit-flavored hard candy.

It was wrapped in an ugly, gaudy candy wrapper with a crudely painted smiley face.

The whole body exudes a sweet and greasy fragrance.

"Take it to satisfy your craving. It's so sweet."

The old man looked at Ah Qi's outfit with concern, and when he found that his collar was a little crooked, he helped straighten it out.

"I haven't seen you for half a month, why have you lost weight again?" Another old man wearing reading glasses next to him also reached out to touch Ah Qi's wrist, and pinched the flesh on his arm, "Is this the daughter-in-law of the Mei family? Bullied you again?"

"Look at this thin wrist. Even the girls can't compare to you."

Ah Qi was a little uncomfortable with the care of the elderly, and her body stiffened slightly.

His face was also hot and red.

In order to hide his emotions, he quickly lowered his head and opened the candy wrapper in his hand.

Unexpectedly, this scene left the old people looking aggrieved as if they had been told the truth.

"I knew the lesson I taught you last time was not enough." The old man who gave the candy slapped his leg angrily and shouted, "The boy from the Mei family is also unsatisfactory. He doesn't know how to take care of his nephew."

"That's right." Another old man beside him who had not spoken a word also spoke up. He walked over and touched Ah Qi's head distressedly.

"If the second brother of the Mei family hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, he wouldn't have the good life he has now."

"I can't even take care of my brother's only flesh and blood. I must go to the village chief and tell him."

When the old man with reading glasses heard this, his eyes lit up, "Yes, find the village chief!"

what?
what?
Ah Qi was confused.

So sudden!

It took just one piece of candy to end up like this.

Ah Qi quickly bit into the sweet hard candy and swallowed it.

"No, today is grandma's important day, at least wait until today."

Ah Qi had an idea and thought of a reason, and finally persuaded the old man who wanted to file a complaint.

God knows if there was a real confrontation, his eyes would darken and he would have no idea what to say.

"That's right. Today is Lan Xiang's big day, so we can't mess with it." The old man who gave the candy sighed, patted Ah Qi's shoulder with his dry palm, and continued in a serious voice: "Lan Xiang is gone, but we are still here. exist."

"As long as we have a few old bones here, no one can bully you."

"If you feel wronged, come to us to make the decision."

The two old men beside him nodded, looked at Ah Qi with the same smile and said, "That's right."

"Yes." Ah Qi agreed in a low voice, and then said, "I'll burn some paper for grandma first."

"Okay, let's go. Don't be afraid, we are all watching, the Mei family's daughter-in-law doesn't dare to do anything." The old man who gave the candy said and stood up, as if he planned to follow Ah Qi to the mourning hall, wanting to help him hold on.

This will save the middle-aged woman from doing anything outrageous.

"Yes, yes, I've had enough rest. Just in time to talk to Lan Xiang."

"It's time for Bones to get some exercise."

"Let's go, sisters."

Several old people stood up slowly and followed Ah Qi.

Because older people cannot walk as well as young people, so they walk slower.

As a result, Ah Qi was caught by a middle-aged woman as soon as she returned to the mourning hall, but no one was behind her.

"I told you not to play tricks on me."

"I'll let you sweep the floor and there won't be anyone in sight for a long time."

"The Mei family provides you with food and clothing, but is it all spent on the dog?"

The middle-aged woman became angrier as she spoke. Her eyes were burning and she wanted to take action.

She didn't like the child Ah Qi in the first place. He looked very much like his annoying father, who was smart and stubborn.

Don't listen to anything, just stick to your own ideas.

I had so many good things to say but I didn't want to tell her what the old woman said before she died.

He insists on insisting on the original will that half of the property should be given to his eldest son, and refuses to falsify it, which is simply abominable.

He clearly has a share of the property in the will, but he doesn't know how to work around it.

One less person can share more.

It really gave her a headache.

"Daughter-in-law of the Mei family, what do you want to do?" The old man who gave the candy had good eyesight and could clearly see the middle-aged woman's movements at a glance.

She yelled loudly: "You dare to do something in front of me, but you may have done something behind my back!"

The middle-aged woman was startled by the shouting and froze when she reached halfway out her hand.

Damn it, why did these nosy old ladies come out?

Wouldn't it be nice to stay back and rest?

Are you here to join in the fun?

"Boy from the Mei family, are you just going to watch your nephew being bullied?"

"You forget that he is the only flesh and blood of your brother!"

"Have you forgotten who saved your life?"

Not to be outdone, the old man with reading glasses fired directly at the middle-aged man who was still kneeling in front of the mourning hall. Every sentence he said was like a sharp sword piercing the other person's heart.

"My aunt." The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at the angry old people beside him with a pale face, and then turned to look at his wife with twinkling eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He just felt that everything was going well with his family and he could endure everything and get over it.

Working hard outside every day to earn money has exhausted all his energy.

Really exhausted.

Regarding matters at home, as long as he didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye.

He didn't even take care of his eldest son.

Almost all household matters are taken care of by my wife.

"What am I, say!" The old man with reading glasses glared at the cowardly middle-aged man with dissatisfaction, "If your brother was still alive, this kind of thing would never happen."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's face turned even paler, and he stood up stiffly. His tone was full of loss and self-blame, "Yes. If only my brother was alive."

"My mother left so early."

"It's me who is useless. I can't take care of my family and my children."

As he spoke, his whole body exuded a sense of self-loathing, and he actually bumped into the table in the middle of the mourning hall.

boom.
The scene was chaotic for a while, with various voices intermingling.
