“What kind of heaven-sent opportunity are you talking about?” Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law asked with confusion.
“Think about it. You are three meters outside the red line. The wall behind is the street. If you knock down the wall, you can open a shop. Isn't that a good opportunity? It will be not only a heaven-sent opportunity but also a boundless business opportunity,” said Fan Shu Chang with a cunning smile.
“Huh?” Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law were stunned when they heard Fan Shu Chang’s words, then they became excited. “Really? This time we can finally get rich.”
Fan Shu Chang saw their expressions, and knew they had fallen for it.
He then withdrew, leaving them to their own devices.
“But something doesn’t feel right.” The second sister-in-law suddenly thought of something and interrupted Ah Zong, who was lost in his daydreams.
“What’s wrong?” Ah Zong asked.
“The room by the roadside is your brother’s. He’s the one who has a heaven-sent opportunity,” the second sister-in-law stated the cruel truth.
That room was near the road, so it was disliked by them. Now being near the road became an advantage.
“That’s right.” Ah Zong suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning. “So, this business opportunity has nothing to do with us?”
“No, we don’t talk about it for now, and then we’ll swap the rooms back,” the second sister-in-law immediately came up with a solution.
“Great idea, you are so smart.” Ah Zong slapped his thigh and gave her a thumbs-up in praise. “We’ll wait for the eldest brother to come back, and then we’ll figure out a way to swap the rooms back.”
“Okay, let’s not talk about it now, in case they find out, and then we’ll be powerless,” the second sister-in-law reminded him.
“No problem.” Ah Zong nodded.
Time flew by, and a few days passed.
Ah Guang and Xiang Lan came back from Henan.
They brought gifts for everyone when they came back.
A counting board for Kang Bo.
A bag of red dates for the old nanny.
A handbag for Xing Zi.
A pair of kung fu shoes for Ah Zong.
A lipstick for the second sister-in-law.
Xing Zi held the handbag, her face not looking good, looking very disgusted, but she didn’t want to say it out loud, after all, it was someone’s kindness.
She planned to find a chance to throw it away later.
As for the second sister-in-law’s lipstick, she put a little on her hand and knew it was low-quality. She also showed a look of disgust, but she quickly hid it.
Ah Zong was very happy holding the Shaolin kung fu shoes given to him by Ah Guang.
“Thanks, Ah Guang.” Ah Guang also gave Kang Er Zheng a gift.
A lighter.
He was speechless. He wanted to tell Ah Guang that he didn’t smoke.
But it was Ah Guang’s kindness, so he accepted it. There would be many places where he needed a lighter.
“Tian Xiu, this is a picture book for you,” Ah Guang gave a stack of picture books to Tian Xiu.
Tian Xiu happily took it.
He picked it up and looked at it. His face changed instantly.
Tian Xiu was a child, he wouldn’t hide his joy and anger like adults.
“I’ve seen these picture books before,” Tian Xiu threw them on the table and ran inside.
“You little brat.” Ah Zong scolded Tian Xiu, who was running inside.
“Ah Guang, how was it? Did you deliver everything?” Kang Bo asked.
“Everything was delivered, my father and mother are very happy. Thank you very much,” Xiang Lan thanked them. “Especially that box of hair fungus, we heard that people in Guangdong province eat everything, we didn’t expect that they even eat hair.”
“Hahaha.” Everyone was amused by Xiang Lan.
“So, how was it? Did you eat it?” Kang Bo asked curiously.
“No, my father didn’t want to eat it, he gave it away,” Xiang Lan shook her head and replied.
“Haha, be careful, it might make a turn, and then return to your hands,” the old nanny joked.
“Impossible, crossing the Yellow River doesn’t mean crossing the Yangtze River,” Kang Bo was also stunned, feeling a little worried.
That box of hair fungus was expired.
“Dad, maybe that box of hair fungus is destined for you,” Ah Zong teased.
“How about it, Ah Guang, is your father-in-law satisfied with you?” Kang Er Zheng asked.
“My father and mother are very satisfied with Ah Guang.” Xiang Lan said a little shyly.
“That’s great. When are you two going to have your wedding?” Kang Er Zheng asked.
“I’ve discussed with Xiang Lan, we don’t have that much money to hold a wedding, so we’re going to get our marriage license, then have a meal with our families, and that’s all.” Ah Guang scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
“Okay, that’s good, we’ll make it up later when we have more money.” Kang Er Zheng knew that they really didn’t have the money to hold a wedding.
“That’s what I’m thinking.” Ah Guang smiled foolishly, then looked at Ah Yao and asked, “Ah Yao, when are you two going to have your wedding?”
“We’ll wait for you to come back, we can have it anytime,” Ah Yao replied.
“Then we’ll have to choose a good day,” Kang Er Zheng said with a smile.
“We’ll go back and pack our stuff first.” Ah Guang was about to get up and take his stuff back to his room.
“Oh right, Ah Guang, your room is the one at the back, you can clean it yourselves, you’ll be living there from now on.” Kang Bo reminded him.
Ah Guang had just returned, and he didn’t know that the rooms at home had already been divided.
“Okay.” Ah Guang had no complaints.
Hearing Kang Bo’s words.
The second sister-in-law quickly pulled Ah Zong.
Ah Zong also immediately understood.
“Wait a minute, eldest brother, what is this big bag? There’s so much of it,” Ah Zong first found a topic to keep Ah Guang there.
“Oh, this? It’s herbal medicine, you know, I have rheumatism, when I went to Henan, they introduced me to an old doctor there, who prescribed these herbs for me.” Ah Guang explained.
“Oh, I see, that’s great.” Ah Zong said involuntarily.
“Huh? Great?” Ah Guang looked at Ah Zong.
You think it’s great that I have rheumatism?
“See, didn’t I tell you? See?” Ah Zong raised his voice and asked the second sister-in-law loudly.
“What?” The second sister-in-law didn’t understand Ah Zong’s meaning for a moment.
“See, didn’t I tell you?” Ah Zong pointed at the bag of herbs and gave her a glance.
“I saw it.” The second sister-in-law quickly nodded.
Although she didn’t know what Ah Zong wanted to do, she knew that she had to cooperate.
“You can’t be so selfish. It’s nothing to lose a little bit. This is your elder brother coming.” Ah Zong pointed at the second sister-in-law and lectured her.
“Yes, yes.” No matter what Ah Zong said, the second sister-in-law acknowledged it.
“Look, he’s over 50 years old, don’t look at him big, don’t look at him so big, but he’s very weak.” Ah Zong pulled Ah Guang up.
Ah Guang was dumbfounded.
What are you doing?
The second sister-in-law also stood up and looked at Ah Guang.
“It’s not this that’s wrong, it’s that that’s wrong, his liver is sometimes big, sometimes small, his stomach needs to be taken out to wash every now and then. His prostate is enlarged, he has to get injections and take medicine every few days. A few more years, his teeth will fall out, and he’ll have athlete’s foot,” Ah Zong got more and more excited as he spoke, and he said more and more outrageous things.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute.” Ah Guang felt something was wrong as he listened. When did I have all these problems? “Are you talking about me or Dad?”
“Nonsense, how can Dad be so disabled?” Kang Bo was unhappy. He was old, but not broken, alright.
Xing Zi and Ah Yao exchanged glances, not understanding what Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law were trying to do.
Kang Er Zheng felt it was very interesting. Ah Zong’s eloquence was amazing.
“Did I just say something a little too much?” Ah Zong whispered to the second sister-in-law.
“It’s a bit too much.” The second sister-in-law nodded. She also thought he had said too much.
“Not a bit, it’s outright too much.” Ah Guang said angrily.
“What should we do?” Ah Zong was stunned, then whispered to the second sister-in-law.
The second sister-in-law thought for a moment and made a gesture of a knife with her palm, meaning to go straight to the point.
Ah Zong looked at her gesture and immediately understood.
“Brother.” Ah Zong turned to Ah Guang.
Ah Zong’s hand also turned into a knife, and he stabbed Ah Guang in the stomach.
“I want to swap rooms with you!” Ah Zong said directly.
“Huh? Swap rooms?” Ah Guang was stunned.
Everyone else also stood up in surprise, especially Xing Zi, who had fought with the second sister-in-law and them for the room before, was even more surprised, her brows furrowed.
“We’ll swap with you our big room.” The second sister-in-law said.
“How can that be, my room is so bad.” Ah Guang didn’t want Ah Zong to lose out.
“Brother, we are sincere, for the happiness of you and sister-in-law, we are willing to do it,” Ah Zong said firmly.
“This...” Ah Guang hesitated for a moment. “Are you really going to swap?”
“Swap.” Ah Zong and Ah Chan said in unison.
“Okay.” Ah Guang thought about it and agreed. Compared to that one, naturally this room in the living room is much better, it’s big, good ventilation, and it’s bright. Since they’re saying this, not swapping would be stupid.
For a moment, everyone felt they had won.
Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law looked at each other, they could both see triumph in each other’s eyes.
“I really don’t know what they’re up to,” Xing Zi whispered.
Ah Yao shook his head, he also didn’t understand. Two days ago, they almost had a fight over this room, why are they being so generous and giving it to Ah Guang now, they really don’t understand.
“Uncle, do you know why?” Xing Zi asked Kang Er Zheng.
“How would I know, I’m not a worm in their stomachs.” Kang Er Zheng shook his head.
He had thought about it, but he forgot most of the plot. Except for the characters in the plot, he only remembered a few episodes vividly, most of them were forgotten.
The most memorable episode for him was when Ah Zong was tricked to Yunnan by Xi Zi Ming, and then was given an injection.
That was his childhood nightmare, he still remembered it.
“Time is of the essence, let’s start swapping now.” Ah Zong and the second sister-in-law were eager, afraid that Ah Guang would regret it later.
