In front of this uncle who seemed to be about the same age as himself, Xu Tianyi suppressed all his displeasure.
He greeted his little uncle with great enthusiasm, "Little uncle!"
He was also prepared to be treated coldly by this young uncle. After all, after what happened with Zhou Yaoniang, this young uncle would never give him a good look.
However, when this young uncle saw Xu Tianyi, he actually had a faint smile on his face.
"Ah! My dear, this is the second time our uncle and nephew have met apart from the wedding banquet that day."
I didn't expect Zhou Ruihu to react like this. Instead, Xu Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile, "Yes, things were really busy that day. I'm sorry, uncle. I was negligent that day. I didn't even spend time with you." .”
But Zhou Ruihu laughed and waved, "Then there is no negligence. You treated me very well."
After saying this, Zhou Ruihu took the initiative and said, "Are you here to see Yaoniang?"
Xu Tianyi nodded and said with concern, "Yes, I'm here to see Yaoniang. Is Yaoniang okay?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Zhou Ruihu immediately smiled and said, "Yao Niang is fine. Come back with me and see if you can find out!"
Xu Tianyi had this intention, so when Zhou Ruihu proposed this, Xu Tianyi happily agreed, "Well, please ask my uncle to lead the way."
Facing Xu Tianyi's request, Zhou Ruihu was not polite. He led Xu Tianyi to his home.
As soon as he returned to Zhou's house, Zhou Ruihu immediately shouted, "Mom and Dad! Big brother, second brother, look who's coming."
Hearing Zhou Ruihu's call, everyone in the room was a little confused. Until Xu Tianyi appeared at the Zhou family, everyone still looked at a loss. Finally, the eldest brother of the Zhou family said in surprise, "Isn't this my nephew and son-in-law? Come in and sit down."
When the old man and the old lady of the Zhou family met Xu Tianyi, they just invited people into the house.
Xu Tianyi felt that he could hardly withstand the enthusiasm of this group of people.
At the same time, the old lady of the Zhou family immediately entered the house and told the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law of the Zhou family, "My grandson-in-law is here, please stir-fry more vegetables and cook more rice."
Hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family was somewhat unhappy, "Now that the rice has been cooked, he came belatedly and didn't even say a word in advance. Now we really can't keep up with the meal."
Hearing this, the old lady of the Zhou family was somewhat unhappy.
She glared at the sister-in-law of the Zhou family, "Just do what you are told to do. Why do you talk so much nonsense every day? Your brother came at a bad time last time. Didn't you also cook?"
After hearing her mother-in-law's scolding, the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family finally stopped saying anything.
And then the mother-in-law suddenly said to the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family, "My wife, don't choose the food. Go to the street corner and buy two kilograms of liquor."
This Zhou family's second daughter-in-law is not as talkative as the Zhou family's eldest sister-in-law.
Following her mother-in-law's instructions, the second aunt of the Zhou family immediately got up in a hurry.
When they arrived at the main room, Xu Tianyi was asking his servants to carry the gifts in quickly. Looking at the boxes of things, the second aunt of the Zhou family could not look away for a while.
This nephew-in-law is quite generous.
But no matter what, it was not surprising that there were so many people. The second aunt of the Zhou family just thought about this and walked away quickly. At the same time, the old lady of the Zhou family only said to her grandson-in-law, "You tell me, you will come as soon as you come." Why are you bringing so many gifts here? What a waste."
Although she said this, the old lady Dan was somewhat happy and couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
At this time, Xu Tianyi just told the old lady that this thing was not much, and also said that this thing was distributed to whom.
At this moment, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family was also in the kitchen. When she heard Xu Tianyi said that her family was also involved, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family became much calmer. After that, Xu Tianyi only mentioned Zhou Yaoniang again. He looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, how is Yaoniang?"
When Xu Tianyi asked about Yaoniang, the old lady who was originally smiling started to sigh again.
"tender
This baby is so pitiful, she still hasn’t woken up yet, and the doctor said she..."
The old lady of the Zhou family was about to continue talking, but the boss of the Zhou family suddenly said to the old lady, "Mom, how is Yao Niang? Can you let Tianyi go over and see for yourself?"
Seeing the boss of the Zhou family say this, the old lady stopped talking.
At this time, before eating, the boss of the Zhou family also said to Tianyi, "I will take you to see Yaoniang."
Naturally, Xu Tianyi readily agreed to this proposal.
After arriving at a small room, he quickly saw Yaoniang.
Yaoniang was still asleep.
Xu Tianyi couldn't help but look at the eldest brother of the Zhou family and said, "Brother, Yaoniang hasn't woken up yet, have you asked a doctor for her?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother of the Zhou family simply wrote lightly, "Please come! The doctor said it was the cold, so we have no choice but to follow the doctor's advice and let Yaoniang continue to be cared for."
Hearing what the eldest brother of the Zhou family said, Xu Tianyi just sighed, and then he made a suggestion: "Brother, can you let me and Yaoniang be alone?"
Facing Xu Tianyi's proposal, the eldest brother of the Zhou family was obviously reluctant.
"The doctor said she can only rest. We usually don't want to disturb her. You should not disturb her now. When she gets better, you and your wife will have plenty of time to talk."
Seeing that the eldest brother of the Zhou family had said this, Xu Tianyi naturally stopped insisting.
At this time, the Zhou family's sister-in-law had already prepared the meal.
Xu Tianyi had no choice but to go over for dinner with the eldest brother of the Zhou family. However, Xu Tianyi did not let down his guard at the dining stall.
He still felt that the Zhou family's reaction was a bit contradictory. After all, Zhou Yaoniang was carried back to their home like that, and the people who carried her back to their home must have said a lot of bad things about him. However, when they faced him, they did not become angry, and even more so. Without a word of questioning, this is unreasonable no matter how you think about it.
So when it was time to eat, Xu Tianyi was even more cautious. He almost only picked food from the bowls where others had left their chopsticks.
However, other people didn't care about this at all, but the men of the Zhou family seemed to be particularly happy to see him coming. In addition, the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family bought wine, and now several grown men began to take turns drinking Xu Tianyi's wine.
Even if Xu Tianyi didn't want to drink it, people could find ways to give it to Xu Tianyi.
Although Xu Tianyi's drinking capacity was pretty good, he couldn't hold it back no matter how good his drinking capacity was when his three uncles from the Zhou family took turns making him drink.
After drinking for three rounds, Xu Tianyi could no longer walk steadily.
The three men of the Zhou family seemed to be a little drunk. However, the old lady and the old man of the Zhou family who were present were still sober. When they saw Xu Tianyi, he was so dizzy that he seemed to be disoriented. The old man of the Zhou family only looked at a housekeeper at the door. Ding winked, and soon the servant suddenly took out a pair of ropes and came to Xu Tianyi.
Xu Tianyi was so drunk that he thought he was here to toast, so he just said in a daze, "Drink, let's keep drinking."
However, as soon as he straightened his hands, the servant tied his hands backwards.
After that, someone tied up his feet again.
After that, they carried Xu Tianyi down.
Seeing what they did, not only the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family, but also the second sister-in-law were shocked.
Dad, what are you doing?
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family is not one who can resist asking questions. If she has any doubts, she will naturally ask her questions, "Dad, mother, what are you doing? This is Xiaoyao's husband."
Facing the Zhou family's eldest sister-in-law's question, the second elder of the Zhou family only said to her, "Don't talk too much! This matter has nothing to do with you."
Afterwards, the second elder of the Zhou family warned the others, "You too, don't ask anything! Don't say anything, do you hear me?"
Seeing the two elders of the Zhou family giving such a serious warning, the others could only say yes.
After that, they watched helplessly as Xu Tianyi, who was a distinguished guest one moment, was carried off like a dead pig the next moment.
But at this moment, who
No one dared to question the decision made by everyone in the family.
It was already midnight when Xu Tianyi woke up from drinking.
He felt a little cold and wanted to turn over, but found that he couldn't turn over no matter what.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was tied to the beams and pillars of the woodshed.
No need to think, this must be done by the Zhou family.
It turns out that the friendly looks and toasts just now were probably just waiting for this moment.
And while he was thinking secretly, a man's voice rang out at this moment, "Are you awake?"
He followed the voice and looked over, and saw his uncle Zhou Ruihu looking at him with a cold look.
He was a little embarrassed for a moment: "Little uncle, why do you think you tied me up here? But I'm drunk and drunk?"
Faced with Xu Tianyi's pretendingly ignorant question, his uncle Zhou Ruihu actually just followed his words and said, "Yes, you are drunk and crazy, and your drunken madness is not serious. We have no choice, so we can only You are tied up."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyi was also a little surprised. Could it be that he was really tied up because he was drunk and crazy?
However, Zhou Ruihu's next words quickly dispelled his doubts: "Do you know what caused you to become drunk?"
"Why did I get drunk?" Xu Tianyi also wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhou Ruihu was selling in his gourd, so he just followed Zhou Ruihu's questions and asked.
Seeing his cooperation, Zhou Ruihu continued, "You were drunk and crazy at the time. You kept saying that you coveted the Zhou family's property and that you married Yaoniang just to seize the Zhou family's property. You also said that you had given Yaoniang He was given a chronic poison, so Yaoniang fell into a long sleep and couldn’t wake up!”
Hearing this accusation, the smile on Xu Tianyi's face couldn't hold back, "Brother-in-law, this is just drunk talk. How could I treat Yaoniang like this?"
However, in the face of Xu Tianyi's weak defense, Zhou Ruihu remained silent.
Xu Tianyi could only continue to say cautiously, "Uncle, can you untie me first? I really didn't do such a thing."
However, Zhou Ruihu was stubborn, "It's impossible to loosen the ties. You yourself know whether you have done this or not."
