Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"I said this very clearly yesterday. Our family has already sent someone to look for my father. You came here today because you don't believe what I said or what?" Xiao Lan said lightly.

Xiao Lan's words completely shut Lanhua's mouth, but now Xiao Lan is her sky, and she is the one who controls the life and death of her family. Therefore, no matter what Xiao Lan says, she will not refute it.

Lanhua smiled and said, "I am just anxious. I came here today to ask... Where is the place for people to stay in that big prison? I am afraid that the father and son will stay in there for too long. Even if they are rescued in the end, they will be useless..."

"It's not a small matter if it involves the government office. I don't think you will tell a little girl like me about these things... Besides, the government office is not owned by my family... When my father comes back, he will help if he can. If he can't help, then..."

"This...this..." Lanhua was anxious.

"Aunt, didn't Xiaolan already agree to help? It's useless for you to pester them. They are not men. Can they go out to do things?" Xu came forward and helped Lanhua and Cui up, and kept persuading Lanhua, "Aunt, you see Xiaolan is also angry. You are begging her to do something now. If you make her angry, it will not be good for us...Besides, if you force her again, she will not believe you. If she is forced into a corner by you, and she calls back the people who were sent out, then everything will be over..."

Although Lanhua was anxious, she also knew that what Xu said made sense, so she followed Xu to help Cui up.

"You have to take good care of the old lady. She hasn't recovered from her illness yet, and she still needs to continue taking medicine. Our family will think of a way to see if we can find my father as soon as possible... My mother is still sick, so we won't send you off... When you go back, you must take good care of the old lady... And bring good luck to my grandfather when you go home." Xiao Lan stood up to see the guests off.

Xu and Lanhua supported Cui and walked out slowly.

After sending the man away, Xiao Lan ordered people to close the door and then the mother and daughter continued to sit on the kang, taking out needlework to pass the time.

Seeing that Zhang's application seemed a little dazed at this time, Xiao Lan said to her, "Mom, why don't you take a rest first. These chores are not urgent..." Xiao Lan said with concern.

"I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me? I just feel a little uncomfortable..." Zhang shook her head after hearing Xiao Lan's words, then pulled herself together and started to sew. "How can there be such a person in this world? If I hadn't heard her say these twisted theories today, I would still not be able to understand..."

"Mom, trying to argue right from wrong with such a person is a thankless task, and you will end up feeling angry." Xiao Lan said.

"Xiao Lan, do you think that after this incident, she won't make trouble again?" Zhang said.

"More or less..." Xiao Lan didn't dare to say anything final.

Cui's character, no matter she is right or wrong, she will never bow her head in front of her son and daughter-in-law. Things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme. Once she bows her head, she will never be able to raise it again. So Cui's kneeling and kowtow just now were simply to control the style of their family... But in the end, Cui was still convinced by the ghost marriage for Xiaolan.

After this incident, it was difficult for Cui to stand up in front of Zhang. However, the teasing by Su Ye's wife at the end made Cui feel humiliated and she could no longer make a fuss, so she had to pretend to faint.

Xiao Lan believed that after this incident, her family would be quiet for a long time...

"Oh, I don't know when your father will be able to come back. Xiaowen lives far away, so I don't know when he will return..." Zhang said with a sigh.

Lanhua and Xu helped Cui out of Xiaolan's house and back to the old house. Xiaolan did not arrange a carriage for them. At first, Cui closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious. When she left Xiaolan's house, she woke up.

The three of them walked back to the old house in silence. As soon as they entered the house, Cui lay down on the kang without even taking off her shoes.

This time, Cui was really ill.

However, the old house had just invited a doctor yesterday, bought medicine, and embarrassed herself in front of outsiders. This time, Cui was really sick, but no one believed it.

"You still want to ask the doctor? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Do you really think that money comes from the wind..." Old Master Sheng was angry, "No one is allowed to ask the doctor. I can't afford to lose face like this!"

The old man had spoken, so naturally, the others in the old house would not take the initiative to ask Cui to see a doctor. When it was dark, the old man saw Cui still lying on the kang in a daze, and guessed that Cui had not gained any benefits in Xiaolan's house this time, so she was in such a state when she returned home.

In the past, if anyone in the family offended Cui, they would come to appease her, but now their family wants Xiaolan's family to help, so how can they let Xiaolan's family be humble and submissive to her?

Mr. Sheng and Cui had been married for decades, so he naturally understood Cui very well. He blamed Cui for being troublesome, but he was also a little worried. So he finally asked Lanhua and Xu about their visit to Xiaolan's house.

"The old lady knelt down to Third Aunt... Third Aunt and Xiaolan said that they sent people out to look for Third Uncle yesterday... and asked us to come back and wait for news..." Xu briefly talked about the news she got from Xiaolan's house, and she didn't even mention some details.

Lanhua just sat beside Cui blankly at this time, not saying anything.

"She's using her old tricks again. She's really a worry," Old Man Sheng sighed, "But why did your grandma come back like this?" Based on Cui's behavior, the old man thought that since Cui had already controlled Zhang and Xiao Lan, it didn't look like that. If Cui had won the battle, she should have come back in high spirits.

Although the old couple often quarrel and even hit each other, they have supported each other for so many years. Even if their children and grandchildren are filial, there are many things that cannot replace the relationship between a real couple.
