Qin Huairu was already scared, and after being threatened by Jia Zhang, she became even more scared.

"Mom, don't scare me. I'm scared to death. The more you talk, the scarier I get!"

Jia Zhang sighed.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. God will not let us live. There is really no way to deal with the situation in our family. Dongxu went out to buy food for us."

Qin Huairu nodded. She didn’t know what was wrong, but she just felt a little cold. She was so cold that she started to shiver.

"Dongxu is a good husband, a good father, and a good son. He is filial and responsible. He does this for us. Now he is taking risks outside, and we don't know what we can do to help him."

Qin Huairu's words gave Jia Zhang a hint, and she suddenly had an idea. Although she had no way to go to the black market with her son to buy food, she could support her son spiritually and help him at home. She had a good idea.

"How about I burn some incense and offer some respect to Lao Jia?

Burn some incense for him and ask him to bless Dongxu. Dongxu is his own son. Now his son is risking his life to buy food, so the old man should also do his part.

Yes, just do it!

Parents are the strong support of their sons. With the help of me and Lao Jia, Dongxu will be safe!"

Jia Zhang said something that happened quickly. She had a strong execution ability and took action immediately. She found an incense burner and a bunch of incense from under the box.

There has always been a black-and-white photo hanging on the north wall of the Jia family. It is the portrait of Jia Dongxu's father.

Jia Zhang placed the incense burner on the small table under the photo, and took out three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

He took out a match, lit it, and then lit the incense. After the incense was lit, bursts of green smoke soon came out.

At this time, Jia Zhang put her hands together and bowed towards the incense burner and the photo, muttering something as she bowed.

"Old man, old thing, you have to bless our son, Dongxu is a good boy.

He went out to buy food for his family. Please hope nothing happens to him.

If something really happens, you have to pray that he will turn danger into safety and come back safe and sound.

Old man, you are his only son. Now that you are needed, you have to contribute.

You old thing, you left early, leaving us mother and daughter behind, leaving me to raise the child alone. You didn't contribute at all. Now it's your turn. If you don't contribute, I won't let you go.

This year is not a good year, when things get better next year, I will buy you some of your favorite food and cook it for you..."

In the misty green smoke, the figure of the fat and big-eared Jia Zhang became illusory, and her expression was a little too solemn and dignified. In the reflection of the incense and candlelight, and under the gaze of the black-and-white photos on the wall, Jia Zhang's face seemed strangely eerie and terrifying.

This kind of scene, which she had never seen before, made Qin Huairu, who was standing next to her, feel even more gloomy. She suddenly felt something was wrong.

This picture was deeply imprinted in Qin Huairu's mind, and even many years later this impression could not be erased and became her nightmare.

"Huai Ru, what are you still standing there for?

Come quickly and pay your respects to the old man, he will bless Dongxu!"

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu standing there in a daze, she became furious and quickly urged Qin Huairu to join the ranks of asking for blessings from the ancestors.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu walked numbly behind Jia Zhang with an uneasy mood and followed her, clasping her hands together and bowing.

In fact, Qin Huairu didn’t know what to worship or what to say.

She didn't know whether this would be useful.

But in this environment, she didn't know what happened and just went with the flow like a puppet, allowing Jia Zhang to direct and arrange things for her.

It was just that Jia Dongxu's father, who had been hanging on the wall for many years, did not seem to play any role. Just as the two of them were worshipping sincerely, they suddenly heard some noise outside, and vaguely heard:

"Something happened to the person who went out to buy food!"

"The inspection team has arrested someone!"

"I don't know if the man from our family has come back?

Go check it out now! "

Hearing the voices of people outside and what they were discussing anxiously, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's hearts skipped a beat.

I didn’t expect that the person who went out to buy food really got into trouble. I don’t know how the people from Dongxu are doing and whether they have come back.

Did you bring back any food?

The two of them had no time to continue worshipping, and hurriedly said goodbye to the photos hanging on the wall. They rushed out of the house in a hurry and ran to the front yard with the crowd.

When the two of them ran to the front yard, they heard Yi Zhonghai talking to someone.

The person who was speaking was Jia Dongxu. After hearing that Dongxu was caught by the inspection team because he was reluctant to give up the food, Jia Zhang suddenly felt dizzy and the world was spinning.

Jia Zhang’s first reaction was: It’s over, my son has been caught by the inspection team, and the pillar of the family has fallen!

Why is my son so unlucky?

So many people came back, why didn’t Dongxu come back?

Could it be that my old man didn’t bless me or help me?

Did someone else in the courtyard betray his son?

Dongxu is too honest, too family-oriented, and too sincere. How could he be reluctant to give up that little bit of food?

These people in the yard must have done something bad. They used their own son to ward off disaster, but they all ran back and only left their own son outside to take the blame!

Also, this old guy, Lao Jia, is really useless. It’s all in vain that I burn incense for you!

Jia Zhang had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

After seeing Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang became even more dissatisfied. The cause of this incident was this shameless old man.

It was his idea to trick Dongxu into going out to buy food. He was also the one who arranged all the specific matters. He organized the whole thing.

When he was at home, he kept assuring me that nothing would happen. But now, the old man Yi Zhonghai has come back, but my young and strong son has not.

There are also two shameless old men, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, who ran back. They are so old and in such poor health, but they were able to come back. However, their own son is so young, but he was caught by the inspection team.

Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it if these three old guys weren't playing tricks here.

Dongxu is too honest. He must have been harmed by them. They are so bullying!

The more Jia Zhang thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. The angrier and more furious she became. She let out a yell and pounced on Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, give me back my son!"

After hearing that Jia Dongxu was caught by the inspection team, Yi Zhonghai was already feeling unhappy, depressed, and distressed. Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed over and grabbed him by the collar. He didn't react and was very confused.
