Chapter 198: Accompany Me to Meet Her
"No need."
"I will go to see her in person in two days."
After all, it was the mother who came in person, and it was a good opportunity for her to meet her future daughter-in-law.
After Xie Changjin finished speaking, he threw the letter to the candle and lit it. The flame immediately extinguished it and then turned it into ashes.
"Yes!" Qingfeng left quickly.
"Who are you talking about? Your mother...the wife of the Marquis has come to Linjiang Town?" Tang Qiyue was playing with building blocks with Zhao Bao, and she was so scared that she almost dropped all the blocks.
"Yes!" Xie Changjin sat beside her, "After the banquet tomorrow, accompany me to see mother."
Tang Qiyue reached out to stop him, "How are you going to explain your identity to my parents?"
Xie Changjin pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "Tell the truth?"
"Humph! You'll scare them." Tang Qiyue pouted, "Besides, your son still hasn't called you dad, right? Master Xie, you can't do that!"
"Hmm?" Xie Changjin narrowed his eyes, "Qiyue, don't you know if I can do it?"
Tang Qiyue almost choked on her own saliva, and her ears turned red for no reason. Some images quickly emerged in her mind, making her feel guilty. She gritted her teeth and said, "What do I mean? Don't talk nonsense to me here!"
There is a child here. How can she drive recklessly? What if she leads her son astray?
Xie Changjin smiled and reached out to touch the top of her head, "Leave it to me, don't worry."
Tang Qiyue hummed lightly nonchalantly.
The next day, the invited villagers followed Village Chief Fu to the Tang family yard. Looking at such a large yard, they were all envious. Even though it was not their first time, they were still envious.
Someone couldn't help but ask Lin, "Old Third, what happy event is going on in your family today? Look at how grand it is, are you going to marry off your daughter?"
Lin glared at the woman and said, "This is not a marriage at all. Don't be impatient. You will know in a moment."
Tang Laosan was also dealing with the villagers. Village Chief Fu probably knew what was going on, but he didn't say anything. It was not his turn to speak about it.
"My daughter, don't be nervous later. We need to say everything clearly." Lin instructed carefully and then went on to instruct Xie Changjin who was standing beside her.
Zhao Bao sat in Xie Changjin's arms, being coaxed by him to call him daddy. This kid didn't know what was going on, even if Tang Qiyue stepped in, he was not willing to call him daddy.
"Be good, call me daddy for me to hear?"
Zhao Bao ignored him and sat in his arms playing with small building blocks. His chubby little body was as eye-catching as a glutinous rice dumpling.
Many villagers were envious when they saw Zhao Bao. This child from Tang Laosan's family was so well raised. He didn't look like a kid from their village at all. He looked more like a young master from a wealthy family.
Tang Qiyue stared at Xie Changjin who was teasing Zhaobao with a half-smile. It was the first time she saw him so helpless, so she burst out laughing, "Master Xie, in such a big occasion today, if Zhaobao doesn't call me dad, you will lose face."
Xie Changjin sighed helplessly, "My son is not well behaved, and he doesn't give his father face!"
Although he was angry, Xie Changjin couldn't really do anything to Zhao Bao, so he could only bite his hand to vent his anger.
Tang Qiyue came over and touched Zhaobao's head, "Our baby, he is so cute."
Half an hour later, the chef invited by Xie Changjin prepared the dishes one by one. Lin and the others came over and the villagers sat down.
"We invited everyone here today. Are you all curious about the purpose of our banquet today?" Tang San said with a smile.
"Hey! Tang Laosan, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly! Everyone is waiting to eat meat!" Although they couldn't see what was in the kitchen, they could smell the strong aroma of meat, which kept drilling into their noses, making them very greedy.
Tang San touched his nose and said, "Okay, okay, I won't delay any longer!"
"I asked everyone to come here today just to bear witness. The father of my grandson has been found!"
"What?" Someone stood up in surprise, looking unbelieving, "Didn't they say Zhao Bao's father died?"
Xie Changjin's face darkened silently. He tilted his head to look at Tang Qiyue. The latter was too guilty to look at him, so he could only smile helplessly.
"He's not dead, not dead! It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, he's lost, lost!" Tang Lao San quickly called Tang Qiyue and Xie Changjin over, "Look, this is my son-in-law, isn't he handsome!"
The scar on Xie Changjin's face is now so faint that it can only be seen clearly when you get close.
"Isn't this the ugly boy with the big scar on his face?"
"What ugly boy! This is my brother-in-law!" Tang Shuyao ran over and pointed at the uncle who was talking and argued.
Tang Qiyue pinched her face and said, "Go to mother."
"Okay, second sister." Tang Shuyao stuck out her tongue at the man and ran to Lin.
"This is really Zhaobao's biological father. If you don't believe me, take a closer look." Tang Laosan asked the villagers to go and see what Xie Changjin and Zhaobao looked like.
Some people thought that the father and son looked alike earlier, and they clapped their hands fiercely, "I told you long ago that these two were father and son, but you from the Third Family didn't believe me at the time! Humph!"
Lin felt a little embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly.
Xie Changjin took a step forward and said, "Qiyue and I were separated on the road of escape. Later, I finally found her, but her face was injured, so I didn't tell the elders and villagers about my identity."
After hearing this explanation, everyone was quite receptive and waved their hands, saying, "We all know it. Just live your life well."
Seeing that everyone was craving for meat, Xie Changjin said everything that needed to be said and immediately waved for someone to serve the food.
Many people looked around and found that no one from the Old Tang family had come. They immediately gathered together and muttered, "Did the Old Tang family not invite us or are they not coming?"
"I don't think he'll come. If he does, he'll be pissed to death!"
"I think so too. Forget about them. Look at the greasy meat. Eat it quickly. If you can't finish it, you can take it home and heat it up later."
"Oh! Yes, yes!"
Tang Qiyue stood not far away, watching the villagers eating with their mouths full of oil and chuckled. This big thing was finally accomplished, and Zhao Bao was not pulled out to call him dad.
As if he noticed that his mother was looking at him, Zhao Bao grinned at Tang Qiyue, revealing his little white teeth, which was both cute and funny.
Tang Qiyue pinched his nose and said, "You naughty boy."
The mother and son were giggling non-stop, causing Xie Changjin, who came over, to just stand there and watch, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting.
The villagers felt satisfied and comfortable at the banquet. Tang Qiyue also asked everyone to pack up the leftovers and take them home. Her generosity made the villagers like her very much.
Being able to eat meat twice a day, and with a lot of oil in it, it would be so comfortable!
In the thatched cottage, Mrs. Tang was so angry that she smashed the earthen bowl in her hand and threw the chopsticks on the ground, cursing, "This third brother really doesn't take me, his mother, seriously. He didn't even invite me to such an important matter!"
Sun nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, mother, I heard that most of the dozen or so dishes are meat." As she spoke, she swallowed hard.
"Isn't it just a recognition of relatives? Is it necessary to invite the whole village to a banquet? It's such a waste of money!" Old Mrs. Tang was very angry. Firstly, she didn't get to eat meat, and secondly, she felt that the money spent by the third wife was hers, so they were cutting off her flesh!
