The next morning.

The Zheng family has not gotten up yet.

There was a gentle knock at the courtyard door.

The sound is very low, and the knocking is done for a while, just like playing around.

Although the movement was very gentle, it could not escape Xiao Xiaobai's ears.

Xiao Xiaobai stood up, walked gently to the door of the courtyard, and saw a white figure through the crack of the door.

A cold light flashed in its eyes, and it looked intently for a long time. When it saw that the man made no next move, it lowered its guard.

Since he dared to keep knocking on the door and made no other moves, he must not have any bad intentions.

Then why don't you hit it harder? Who can hear it so quietly? Human beings are so strange!

Xiao Xiaobai was confused. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and ran to Boss Zheng's door and started scratching the door with his claws.

"Stab it~prick it~"

The sharp claws scratched the wooden door, and the sound was a bit harsh.

However, in the room, Boss Zheng's sleep sounds were loud, and the scratching on the door could not wake him up at all.

Fortunately, Wan Niang was a smart sleeper and shook Boss Zheng awake when she heard the sound.

"Hmm~ What's wrong? Did you get up so early today?" Boss Zheng asked in a daze.

"Shhh, keep your voice down, listen, there is a sound outside the door!" Wan Niang lay next to his ear and whispered.

Boss Zheng opened his eyes, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and then he heard the sound of Xiao Xiaobai scratching the door.

He sat up suddenly, without even having time to put on his coat, dragged his shoes out of the house and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a pair of wolf eyes with a faint light. He suddenly woke up and took two steps back unconsciously.

"Xiao Xiaobai, why are you scratching the door? You scared me." Boss Zheng touched his chest to calm down his shock.

This little Xiaobai is really not as cute as he was when he was a child.

But he only dared to complain in his heart.

Xiao Xiaobai glanced at him, with some contempt in his eyes.

It turned and walked towards the courtyard door.

Seeing that Boss Zheng didn't follow, it looked back, stopped and waited, looking a little impatient.

Boss Zheng frowned and couldn't figure out what it was doing, so he had to follow it quietly.

When he reached the door of the courtyard, he heard a slight knock on the door. If he didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't hear it at all.

How could someone come to their house at this time and knock on the door secretly? He must not be a good person.

Thinking about it, Boss Zheng tiptoed to the corner, picked up a bamboo pole, and then slowly approached the courtyard door.

It was already light at this time, and through the crack in the door, he could clearly see a man in white standing at the door of the courtyard.

Taking advantage of the man's gentle knock on the door, Mr. Zheng followed the sound of his knock and slowly opened the door bolt.

Just as the man was about to knock on the door again, he suddenly opened the courtyard door and held up the bamboo pole to knock on it.

However, the pole suddenly stopped, at most a finger's distance from the man's head.

The man seemed to be frightened. His hand that knocked on the door stopped in mid-air, and his eyes stared at the sudden appearance of Boss Zheng without blinking.

Their eyes met, but no one took the initiative to speak.

Boss Zheng was so stunned that he even forgot what to do next while holding the bamboo pole.

The person in front of him really shocked him. If his hands and feet were just one step faster, he might have hit him.

Don't wait for him to come to his senses.

The man in white put down his hand, coughed slightly, and asked awkwardly: "Well... I'm sorry, I came here to inquire about people, and I'm really sorry for disturbing you!"

Only then did Boss Zheng come back to his senses. He quickly threw away the bamboo pole in his hand and stammered: "Brother...I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here. Sit...in the room."

He was so upset at the moment that he never imagined that when he met his brother-in-law for the first time, he almost gave him a stick.

That's right, the man in white at the door is clearly Zhao Yuqian.

Looking at the face that was exactly the same as his wife's, Mr. Zheng knew the identity of the person in front of him without using his brain.

Now it was Zhao Yuqian's turn to be confused. Why did this man open his mouth and call him brother? It's too familiar.

In the town he arrived in last night, he found an inn to stay for one night.

As a result, I was so excited that I couldn't close my eyes, so I ran over before dawn.

The son's letter only said that his sister was in Houyan Village and didn't say much else. He could only go into the village and inquire about it slowly.

It was because he was anxious about waiting that he couldn't help but knock on the door lightly. Such a small movement unexpectedly woke up the owner. It was really his fault.

I apologized, but I never expected that the owner of the house would be so polite. He would even call me brother when he opened his mouth, but he was too embarrassed to respond.

Because Zhao Yuqian was still planning to inquire about his sister, he followed Boss Zheng into the yard.

The yard was very big, and while Zhao Yuqian was looking around, Boss Zheng was so nervous that he ran back into the house without saying a word.

"Um...brother...just wait, I'll call Wan Niang!"

Zhao Yuqian saw his nervous back and was a little confused. Was he that scary?

However, he was quite satisfied to be treated so warmly, and he would be sure to thank them properly later.

Boss Zheng left Zhao Yu to dry in the yard and ran into the house, touching his chest and breathing heavily.

Seeing his brother-in-law was more frightening than seeing a snake. He didn't expect that he had been in business for so long and couldn't say a word to him. How could he deal with this?

"What's wrong with you? What's going on outside?"

At this time, Wan Niang had already put on her clothes.

She was a little curious when she saw Boss Zheng's panicked look.

Boss Zheng walked up to Wan Niang, hugged her, and said, "Wan Niang, what should I do if my brother is here?"

Wan Niang smiled softly, patted his back coquettishly, and asked, "What should I do if someone comes here? What did you see?"

She was about to push Boss Zheng away, but suddenly thought of something, stared into his eyes in disbelief and asked: "Brother? You are talking about brother, right?"

Is it really my brother who came here?

Did he really come to find him in person?

Seeing Wan Niang's excitement, Boss Zheng nodded dully. He was even more worried, what would he do if his brother-in-law came to trouble him later?

After all, I was so rude just now...

When Wan Niang saw Boss Zheng nodding, she was stunned for a while, then broke away from his arms and staggered to the door.

Looking at the white figure standing in the yard, she burst into tears.

When Zhao Yuqian turned his head, that familiar face came into view.

Wanniang couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, her head starting to hurt like tearing apart again.

"Wan Niang, what's wrong with you?"

Boss Zheng was hiding inside and didn't dare to go out. When he saw Wan Niang's appearance, he rushed over, picked her up and put her on the bed.
