【1760】The romance of the third brother and the third sister-in-law (5)
At noon, Shen Jing sat in the room quietly waiting for Ma Cheng's return, but after waiting for almost an hour, no one was seen, and Shen Jing couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
At this moment, Qiao Yu came. Seeing Shen Jing's sad face, Qiao Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jing pursed her lips and asked, "Second sister-in-law, have you seen Ma Cheng?"
"Ma Cheng? Eh? I saw him that time. He said he was coming back?"
"Come back? When did it happen? What did he do?"
"I don't know...Oh, it was an hour ago, I should be back."
Shen Jing bit her lip and said, "I know, he should be back soon..."
With that said, Shen Jing didn't talk to Qiao Yu anymore, and just walked into the house alone.
Qiao Yu was a little worried. She knew Shen Jing's temper. Although he didn't like to talk, he had a strong temper. Qiao Yu was a little hesitant as to whether the fourth son's plan was feasible. If it didn't work, Shen Jing couldn't figure out what to do.
What to do?
Qiao Yu shook her head and decided to follow Ma Xiaoquan's plan. However, she was worried about Shen Jing, so she decided to keep an eye on Shen Jing secretly.
In the afternoon, Ma Cheng came back drunk. He sat quietly on the stool. When he saw Ma Cheng swaying from side to side, he stepped forward to help him.
"Why did you drink so much? What happened today? Do you still want to drink?"
Ma Cheng slapped his lips, grabbed Shen Jing's shoulders, and said: "Daughter-in-law, it's all my fault for the child's fault, it's all my fault..."
Shen Jing was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes and shook her head: "It's all in the past, so don't think about it anymore. If you think about some things too much, it won't be good for you or me~"
"No!" Ma Cheng suddenly yelled, "I don't! I just can't figure out why the child died. You want to do this to me. What did I do wrong..."
Ma Cheng was not actually drunk, the smell of alcohol was just poured on him beforehand, but at this time, what he said was indeed true.
Shen Jing was stunned again, then turned her head and stopped talking.
Ma Cheng pushed Shen Jing away and said: "You don't understand anything. You always blame me for the child's affairs. I am also a man and a father. Shen Jing, I feel more uncomfortable than you. You don't understand at all."
Got it..." With that said, Ma Cheng stood up and rushed out of the door.
Shen Jing stood in a daze, looking at her husband who had already left the door with her eyes wide open. She wanted to shout, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.
...
Ma Cheng ran out of the room, went around several corners, and then stopped. Ma Xiaoquan was standing not far from him. When he saw him coming, he stepped forward and said, "Third brother, how are you?"
Ma Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I... I may have said it a bit harshly..."
"Uh~~" Ma Xiaoquan frowned and said, "Didn't you say the words we arranged in advance?"
Ma Cheng shook his head.
"Yeah~ I understand... I guess you also showed your true feelings."
"Then what should I do, little fourth son, Shen Jing won't ignore me in the future, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "That's not true. Third brother, you and third sister-in-law have been together for a long time. What kind of temperament does third sister-in-law have? You still don't know?"
"Of course I know. It's just because I know so much that I'm worried about what Shen Jing will do..."
"Third brother, you have to have confidence in third sister-in-law. Don't worry, second sister-in-law also told me that she will keep an eye on third sister-in-law. You, according to the plan, you should appear at Beiming Meihua's place now."
"Well, okay~"
...
Sitting quietly at the table, looking at the cup of cold tea in front of her, she never thought that her husband, who usually loved her so much, would be angry with her today.
Shen Jing closed her eyes gently and murmured: "Is it my fault? Why, why does God treat me like this? Is it my fault? Is it my fault..."
Qiao Yu quietly hid outside the room, listening quietly to the quiet murmurs in the room. She sighed softly in her heart and thought to herself, little fourth son, your plan must succeed, otherwise, Shen Jing and Ma Cheng will be together.
But...
Ma Xiaoquan made arrangements for Ma Cheng and rushed to Beiming Luoer's inn without stopping.
Since Shen Jing could not be suspected, Ma Xiaoquan set the "base camp" of this romantic plan at the inn of Luoer's family in Beiming.
Beiming Luoer admired this new uncle very much. Firstly, he helped him punish Ziliang, and secondly, because he became a family member.
Beiming Luo'er brought a cup of tea. Ma Xiaoquan didn't ask what kind of tea it was. He took a sip and said, "Miss Luo'er, has the overseas student come back?"
Beiming Luo'er nodded: "Yes, I just came back not long ago, but I have to go to the mountains to collect medicine..."
"Well, just in time, you slowly let out the wind and said that my third brother and Qiao Sheng are going to collect herbs together."
"Is this...is this possible?" Beiming Luo'er was a little worried.
"At the same time, I will secretly spread some news that my second brother is drinking tea with the Meihua girl..."
"Uncle, this is not good. What if Sister Shen Jing finds out and feels sad?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I just want to make her sad~ Otherwise, she won't realize my third brother's sincerity towards her."
Beiming Luo'er shook his head and said: "I really don't understand you men. You can just live a good life. Why do you make it so troublesome?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "You really don't understand this. Hehe, just do it. Besides... how are the back gardens prepared?"
Beiming Luoer pursed his lips and said: "Uncle, you are very generous this time. Just those candles cost a full six hundred taels."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, reached into his arms, took out an official ticket worth one thousand taels, and slapped it on the table.
"This is one thousand taels. Take it, Miss Luo'er. You should buy some more later. But I have roughly calculated that I can probably keep forty or fifty taels. Well, just think of it as the errand fee for you." Already."
"Forty or fifty taels, that's so much, uncle, you are so generous."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "No, although we are a family, we can't let your help go in vain. There is no credit, but there is still hard work."
Beiming Luoer was not pretentious, he put away the banknotes, nodded and said: "I will arrange the candles and lanterns you mentioned as soon as possible, and the fireworks you mentioned, when will they be in place?"
"The sooner the better. Well, find some reliable people to arrange the fireworks. As for the time, let's arrange it for the night after tomorrow."
