Chapter 222: Life Is Like a Play
The family of Second Uncle was just causing a commotion like they were coming to pick a fight, but after being stopped by Yu Minglang, they directly turned into "victims." Looking at their current state, it’s really hard to imagine how arrogant they were just moments ago.
"Quick call the police, this family is being unreasonable, someone come and take them all away~ Oh no, I’m done for, my whole body hurts, they’ve beaten me badly~" Second Aunt shouted as if she was about to run out of breath.
Jia Xiufang was a bit worried, this sounded like extortion.
Qian watched as if she were witnessing a comedy sketch, truly eye-opening.
"Second Aunt, your whole family, your acting skills are incredible, really, with such great acting ability, why don’t you perform roadside monkey shows? Always thinking about that bit of money from the old folks, no future."
Qian squatted in front of Second Aunt and said.
Second Aunt acted as if she hadn’t heard, face covered with snot and tears, rolling on the floor shouting, "Old Two, quickly use your phone to call the police, arrest them, this family wants to rob money, they’ve kidnapped your Grandma and beat our family, there’s no law anymore, oh, I’m in so much pain..."
Seeing that they were taking out a phone to call the police, Jia Xiufang got anxious and wanted to step forward to stop them, what if they really called the police?
Qian and Yu Minglang grabbed Jia Xiufang from either side, preventing her from stepping forward.
"Qian’er! Minglang! Quickly, don’t let them cause trouble!" Jia Xiufang said seriously.
"Mom, why are you worried, we’re not the ones at fault, calm down, calm down!" Qian patted Jia Xiufang.
"Exactly, Aunt, let them call." Yu Minglang wasn’t worried at all.
Second Cousin really made the call and, while on the phone, cautiously watched Yu Minglang, afraid he would rush over and snatch his phone.
Yu Minglang acted as if nothing was happening, with one hand in his pocket and the other touching Chen Zilong’s face.
"Brother-in-law, it hurts!" Chen Zilong grimaced in pain.
"See, so ruthless, hitting the kid like this, Mei, go grab some iodine."
Qian went off to find the medicine kit, smiling.
Stepped over Second Aunt’s body...
Second Aunt, displaying her powerful acting skills, continued rolling diligently. At this moment, although there were no outsiders present, she still rolled with consistent angles and speed, wailing with perfect pitch.
If someone hadn’t witnessed the truth the whole time, outsiders at first glance would really think Qian’s family had subjected them to immense hardship.
"Get up, what are you lying here for!" Jia Xiufang wanted to pull her up, and as soon as she touched Second Aunt, Second Aunt let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah! You hit me, oh my, you’ve beaten me to death, ah ah ah ah!"
Jia Xiufang was dumbfounded, this works?
Qian came back carrying the medicine kit, and again stepped over Second Aunt’s body. Second Uncle clutched his waist, leaning against the stair railing, moaning as if on his last breaths.
"Mom, stop pulling her, let her perform, really, my Second Aunt is someone who could live off her acting skill but insists on being a shrew, diligently scheming to take the elderly’s money, a truly inspirational figure. Ordinary people truly lack her acting skills and cheekiness."
Yu Minglang treated Chen Zilong’s wound, seeking insight.
"Mei, from a psychological standpoint, how would you analyze what’s up with this family?"
"When water is too clear there are no fish; when people are shameless, they are unbeatable. I can’t analyze them." Qian shook her head.
Yu Minglang laughed, "Look at you, all those university studies wasted, isn’t this just a savage shrew, you can’t even analyze this, what have you been doing in school this past half year?"
Qian gave him a light shove, "Is that my fault? Our psychology is used to analyze people with mental issues, and as for this family, wanting money without dignity, all they have besides thick skin is a heap of fat, their minds are squeezed out, what am I supposed to analyze?"
"Right, can’t blame you for this, researching them would require talking to two butchers to cut open all that fat, because not even X-Rays can penetrate, skin’s too thick..."
"Hahaha, sis, Lang, you sound like you’re doing stand-up comedy!" Chen Zilong laughed heartily, as his face was being smeared colorfully with medicine by Yu Minglang.
Qian shrugged, "Life gives us plenty of material, right Xiaoqiang?"
"Yep, whatever Mei says is right.
Originally, Jia Xiufang was very nervous but was now torn between laughing and being angry by Qian and Yu Minglang’s banter.
"Can you two be serious, the police have already been called, what are we going to do...plus, what’s with your names?"
What’s with this Mei and Xiaoqiang, just dating, and they’ve already changed names?
"Mom, why are you worried for nothing, it’s not a big deal."
"Exactly, Aunt, once people come and the matter is resolved, let’s go out for a meal? I’ll have my brother’s chef make soup, look, Mei’s turned so skinny, her little face nearly looks like a monkey’s."
Yu Minglang took the chance and straightforwardly touched Qian’s face.
Chen Zilong was speechless, "Lang, how can you lie with a straight face, you say she’s skinny? She’s gained several pounds!"
Anyone with eyes could see his sister thoroughly enjoyed her university life, as her cheeks were rosy.
Qian glared fiercely at Chen Zilong, "You want your Lang Ge to finish the rest of the moves on you?"
Chen Zilong immediately shut his mouth; he didn’t want to get hit, brother-in-law’s punches were too fast.
In front of her mom, Yu Minglang felt touching the little face wasn’t thrilling enough, this guy liked to play it risky, so he seized Qian’s hand and clutched it in his own, speaking earnestly.
"Mei is great in every way, just too skinny, Aunt, look at her build now, even a light breeze could blow her away, she needs to be well nourished."
"This girl looks skinny, but her bones are small, secretly gaining weight." Jia Xiufang critiqued seriously.
Yu Minglang discontentedly shook his head, "Even so, still slim, she’s picky with food, aunt you need to manage her, still like this and so picky, doesn’t eat onions, doesn’t eat peppers, doesn’t eat tofu, even with ginger she wants big chunks, small chunks she won’t eat, how is that going to work!"
"Lang, aren’t you at work, how do you even know about my sister’s picky eating habits?" Chen Zilong curiously asked.
Yu Minglang smiled but said nothing, future brother-in-law, you’re quite the wingman.
Qian rolled her eyes, this shameless man, always finding ways to show off in front of her mom.
Sure enough, Jia Xiufang displayed satisfaction; Yu Minglang truly cared for her daughter, good, truly good.
Second Aunt and Second Uncle continued to perform with their lives, while Qian and Yu Minglang chatted idly with Jia Xiufang.
Making the two chubby cousins feel awkward.
Stopping their parents wouldn’t be appropriate, fighting Yu Minglang would be hopeless, they hadn’t cultivated a thick skin like their parents, feeling embarrassed to sit on the ground and wail, but that day Mother said they must take Grandma back, otherwise they wouldn’t get any money either.
They opted to go out for a smoke, and just as they lit up, a few people came in.
