Chapter 298 - Father Zhaos Discovery (1)
Ever since Father Zhao asked Li Sangyu about his ghost son-in-law a few days ago, he felt completely relieved. But before long, he was alarmed yet again.
Although Hongmei had previously said not to look for Mother Zhao and to let her stay longer at her maiden home, Father and Mother Zhao had a good relationship. After a day or two, he couldn’t help but sneak off to Mother Zhao’s maiden family to look for her.
But not only didn’t he find her, her family also told him that Mother Zhao hadn’t gone back at all.
But if Mother Zhao never went back, who called him every night to say that she was at her maiden home?
At first, Father Zhao still thought that his mother-in-law might be deliberately saying that to prevent him from seeing Mother Zhao.
But in the end, both his in-laws said that Mother Zhao really never came back. His mother-in-law might lie to him, but his father-in-law would never. Only then did Father Zhao really panic. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
In the end, his in-laws still wanted to ask about Mother Zhao, but Father Zhao hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
When he got home, Zhao Hongmei, who was in the living room, found her father absent-minded and a bit strange. She couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, where did you go? What on earth is going on?”
Father Zhao had just returned home and felt that the temperature inside the house was much lower than outside. Thinking of Mother Zhao, Father Zhao became increasingly panicked. He swallowed his saliva and didn’t directly answer his daughter, but suddenly asked, “Daughter, where’s Son-in-law? By the way, when will that Celestial Master Li come to our house again?”
Zhao Hongmei said, “Sangyu will come tomorrow! As for Official Song, he’s making soup for us in the kitchen!”
Zhao Hongmei was filled with happiness as she spoke.
At that moment, Song Zhongsheng came over with a pot of soup and said to Father Zhao, “Dad, I stewed the other half of the pig brains today. You and Hongmei come and try it!”
After speaking, Song Zhongsheng ladled a bowl for each of them and placed one in front of Father Zhao.
At that moment, when Father Zhao saw Song Zhongsheng in front of him, his heart inexplicably shuddered and his hands trembled. Song Zhongsheng took a glance and smiled at Father Zhao again.
This smile was incomparably eerie in Father Zhao’s eyes.
Father Zhao’s face turned pale, and Song Zhongsheng said, “Dad, have some soup! Why aren’t you drinking yet?”
Zhao Hongmei finished a bowl, scooped up some of the meat, and continued to drink a few mouthfuls. She helped Song Zhongsheng and said, “Dad, this soup is really nice. It tastes really good. Hurry and drink a bowl!”
Father Zhao nodded absent-mindedly, picked up the bowl and took a few sips, then looked up at his ghost son-in-law in front of him.
No, no, he was scaring himself. That Celestial Master Li had said before that his ghost son-in-law was fine.
He thought about how he had misunderstood this ghost son-in-law. Maybe Mother Zhao’s sudden disappearance was a coincidence.
Maybe Mother Zhao was angry and went overseas. It was indeed Mother Zhao who had called him last night.
Father Zhao consoled himself and absent-mindedly drank the soup and ate the meat, wondering why there was black hair on the meat that hadn’t been trimmed off. It didn’t look like cow hair, but more like human hair.
Father Zhao didn’t think much of it as he stirred the soup with a spoon. He was about to drink it, when he suddenly saw something golden in the clear meat soup.
Puzzled, Father Zhao scooped it up with his spoon, only to see that the golden object in the was a golden tooth!
historical
How could there be a golden tooth in this soup? And a human tooth, as well?
Father Zhao suddenly thought of the time he accompanied Mother Zhao to the hospital to get her teeth fixed. Back then, Mother Zhao had gotten a golden tooth put in.
Nauseated, Father Zhao controlled his extremely horrified trembling. He forced out a stiff smile with difficulty and gritted his teeth as he asked, “Son.. son-in-law, did you buy this beef early in the morning?”
