When Jiang Yan returned to the compound, Si Qianjin was still asleep.

Si Zhen reported to Jiang Yan in a low voice, "Grandpa often wakes up in pain in the middle of the night. Sometimes he can't fall asleep again after waking up and has to sit until dawn. But today, Grandpa slept so soundly and didn't wake up at all."

While sorting the herbs, Jiang Yan said, "Don't worry, Grandpa will be able to sleep well from now on. I'll prescribe some medicine for him, and I guarantee it will work immediately."

Si Zhen naturally believed Jiang Yan. After all, she saw with her own eyes that Jiang Yan used her medical skills to save the old man. And after taking Jiang Yan's medicine, Grandpa obviously felt much better. This kind of change can't be fake!

"Sister-in-law, you have worked hard."

It is said that Miss Si Zhen is really sensible and does not have the slightest bit of the spoiled look of a young lady.

What is the status of the Jiang family? Jiang Yiyi trembles every day, as if she was electrocuted.

Look at Si Zhen again. His family background is obviously better and the Si family has a higher status in Beijing, but this child is so sincere.

"Don't worry, it's not that hard!" Jiang Yan said, "You can take a rest. I'll have to work on this for a long time, and no one else can help. You don't need to roll it into balls. The effect of decocting the medicine will be better."

"Okay!" Si Zhen thought about it and decided to go look for the medicine jar. She remembered there seemed to be one at home.

While picking medicine, Jiang Yan was thinking about Lei Zi's affairs.

He has a bad life. His family has suffered a disaster and he doesn't seem to have any relatives. Maybe that thing is the cause of his death.

It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Otherwise, should she go there at night and take the thing away?

For the sake of the medicine, Jiang Yan felt that she should help him. If she was alone during the day, she would take the thing away on the spot.

But there is still Si Lu, she can’t explain it.

Headache.

Jiang Yan didn't know that Lei Zi had already borrowed a ladder.

The New Year is coming soon, and it is difficult to find people to work at this time. He simply put some medicine on it to prevent the centipedes from falling down and biting people.

That thing is poisonous and its bite hurts a lot.

Lei Zi set up the ladder and climbed up, spreading the powder in his hand evenly on the beam. Suddenly, he found something wrong.

The beams are all made from a whole log, which is very particular. They cannot be too thin, too thick, not straight, or severely damaged.

But why is there such a deep crack on the beam of his house? Could it be that it was formed over a long period of time?

wrong!

Lei Zi quickly slid down the ladder and took out a small knife from the drawer. He climbed up the ladder again, but because he was too anxious, he almost missed a step and fell halfway up.

Climbing to a higher place again, Lei Zi carefully inserted the knife into the narrow gap, pried it hard, and actually pried out a square piece of wood.

Someone dug a hole in the beam, and something was hidden in the hole.

Lei Zi's heart was beating fast. He took out the oil paper bag and opened it on the spot, only to see a grinning, hideous-looking wooden sculpture inside.

The wooden sculpture was red and black in color, and gave off a strange fishy smell.

Lei Zi carefully scraped the wood carving with a knife, scraped off some powder from it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and was shocked!

The red and black colors on the wood carving are not paint but blood!

What a vicious mind, what a cruel heart!

Lei Zi was furious and could not help but roar, "Who on earth is it!"

Even if the changes in the family have nothing to do with this wood carving, who can really not mind?

Lei Zi is like this. He is not a superstitious person, but ever since he saw this wood carving, he has been thinking, if, if he could have discovered this thing earlier, then would his family not have broken up?

Will his relatives be safe?

And that girl, will she...

There were too many regrets that could not be made up for. Lei Zi held the thing in his hand, sitting on the chair in a daze, his eyes red.

No matter who he is, I will dig him out even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth or dig deep into the ground.

……

Jiang Yan was decocting medicine, and Si Zhen was sitting beside her, fanning the fire very seriously.

"Decoction is a science, the temperature is very important..."

Before Jiang Yan could finish her words, there was a knock on the door.

Si Zhen pushed the palm-leaf fan into Jiang Yan's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you watch the fire. I'll go."

She ran out to open the door, but unexpectedly the person who came was Si Xinnian!

Not only Si Xinnian came, but Wang Qiwen also came.

"Aunt, uncle." Si Zhen's happy expression disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by an unhappy mood.

Every time her aunt comes, the house is in chaos.

It would have been better if she came alone, but Wang Qiwen came too.

"Xiao Zhen, aren't you at work?"

"It's holiday." Si Zhen couldn't stop them from entering, so he had to move aside.

Wang Qiwen came in with two bags of snacks and said with a smile, "We knew that the old man was back, so we came to see him. After all, we haven't seen him for a long time."

He spoke with a heavy accent, which Si Zhen didn't like very much, so he could only nod perfunctorily.

All year round, the couple always came to visit empty-handed. They would only take things from her parents' home to her husband's home, and rarely bought anything.

How come you are so successful this time?

Si Zhen looked up and saw a girl following Si Xinnian. The girl looked to be about twenty years old and was wearing a very special red coat, dressed like a bride.

I have never seen her before. She was standing behind Wang Qiwen before and I didn’t notice her.

"Aunt, who is she?"

Why did you bring a stranger home?

"Si Zhen, this is your uncle's niece, your cousin. Her name is Wei Min. She is your eldest brother's unmarried daughter-in-law. In the future, you have to call her sister-in-law."

Si Zhen has such a good temper, but he got angry when he heard this.

"What wife, what sister-in-law, what do you mean? My brother has a girlfriend, no, my brother has a fiancée!"

what?

When Si Xinnian heard this, his eyes widened like bells, "Your brother has a fiancée? How come I don't know?"

Si Zhen almost laughed out of anger, "Why should I tell you? Have you ever cared about your family's affairs?"

But thinking that Si Xinnian was her elder after all, she softened her tone and said, "Aunt, if you want to introduce a date to my brother, I'm sorry, I'm late. I already have a candidate for my sister-in-law, and her last name is not Wei. She's at my house now, you guys can go back!"

She rolled her eyes and glared at Wei Min fiercely.

Wei Min was so anxious that she was about to cry. If such a good marriage fell through, she would definitely be beaten when she got home.

It turns out that this sociable guy has already regarded this marriage with the Si family as his own.

"Well, I want to see which shameless little vixen dares to seduce my nephew." After saying that, Si Zhen rushed into the house like a cow out of control.

Wang Qinian followed behind, holding two bags of snacks with his index finger and hopping on his feet.

Since this matter concerned her lifelong event, Wei Min was unwilling to be left behind and hurriedly followed him into the house.

Si Zhen stamped his feet in anger, left the door ajar and followed her. He was really mad at his aunt. How could he celebrate the New Year?
