Chapter 443: Grandfather Went to Find a Kitchen Knife

~7 min read 1,269 words

Just after finishing a game, a phone call suddenly came in.

Qin Tian took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and found it was his uncle's number, so he hurriedly answered.

"Hello!"

"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, something terrible has happened!"

It wasn't his uncle's voice on the other end, but Tang Wen's.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Tian asked with a puzzled expression.

"My dad and grandfather are furious. One is holding a broom and wants to hit my uncle-in-law, and the other went to the kitchen in the back to find a kitchen knife. What should I do? I don't dare to stop them!"

Tang Wen explained in a panicked tone.

Beside him, Zhang Peng, who had been leaning over to eavesdrop, was dumbfounded and very wisely retracted his head, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

In this kind of situation, it was better for an outsider like him not to get involved.

"Heh, serve him right. Don't stop them, why stop them!"

Qin Tian laughed with schadenfreude.

"No, Grandfather looks like he's serious. We're all scared to death."

Tang Wen became even more anxious.

Qin Tian was silent for a moment. He hadn't expected his grandfather, who usually had a good temper, to be so ruthless.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Any father would explode if they encountered this situation.

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, let's talk this over. Please put down the broom."

"Right, right, right, Third Uncle, please don't be impulsive."

"Talk about what? What's there to talk about? Qin, get out! Our family doesn't welcome you."

On the other end of the phone came the voices of his two cousins trying to mediate, as well as his uncle's roar.

"Brother?"

Tang Wen called out again when she saw Qin Tian wasn't speaking.

"It's no use calling me. I won't get involved. He's on his own!"

Qin Tian said calmly.

Just then, his grandfather's tough voice came through.

"Damn it, making my daughter suffer so much, and you still want to enter my house? Come here, let's see if I don't kill you!"

Immediately after, there was a chaotic commotion.

Even on this end of the phone, Qin Tian could sense how spectacular it was over there.

Finally, it was a lion's roar from his mother that temporarily controlled the scene.

"Auntie is still the best. Brother, are you really not coming over?"

Tang Wen asked in a low voice.

"No."

Qin Tian refused directly.

Anyway, with his mother there, nothing would happen. If he went, the scene would only become more complicated.

"Brother, can you pick me up and take me over? I'm shivering here right now! I want to go find Sister Nuannuan to play."

Tang Wen said in a weak, pitiful, and helpless tone.

"Wait until they've talked it over."

"Don't, please. I'll sneak to the village entrance in a bit. Can you drive over and pick me up? Please, it's too scary here."

"Alright then, I'll drive over."

Qin Tian agreed helplessly.

Since she was his only sister, and she would be leaving in two days and wouldn't be seen for another year, he would try to satisfy this small request.

"Oh, oh... thank you, Brother Tian, you're the best."

Tang Wen thanked him happily.

"Little Wen, what are you doing there? Who are you on the phone with? Come here!"

His uncle's scolding came from the other side.

"It's a call from my classmate. Coming, coming."

Tang Wen responded hurriedly, then whispered: "Brother, I'm hanging up first. See you later."

After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.

Qin Tian took back his phone, amused, and said to Zhang Peng: "I have something to do, so I have to go. You play by yourself!"

"Oh, oh, then you go. Brother Hao is coming over soon, I'll wait for him."

Zhang Peng said with a smile.

"Then I won't turn off the computer. I'm leaving."

Qin Tian stood up and said.

"Hmm!"

Zhang Peng nodded.

Watching Qin Tian walk a few steps away, he suddenly called out.

"Brother Tian!"

Qin Tian stopped and turned his head to look at him with a puzzled expression.

"If you want to drink or grab some skewers, just call me anytime. I'm free these two days!"

Zhang Peng grinned.

Qin Tian nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

After driving to the village entrance to pick up Tang Wen, who had snuck out, he drove straight back to Yucheng.

"How's the situation?"

Qin Tian glanced at Tang Wen sitting in the back and asked casually.

Tang Wen leaned over the seat and answered with a beaming smile: "It's okay for now. Grandfather and the others are making your dad explain everything..."

"He's not my dad!"

Qin Tian interrupted her directly.

"Then, that... Qin?"

Tang Wen asked tentatively.

Qin Tian didn't commit.

"Anyway, the atmosphere is still quite tense, but Auntie is there to suppress it, so the communication is going quite smoothly. But I think Grandfather and my dad will find it very hard to forgive... that Qin!"

Tang Wen said seriously.

Just then, the phone in Tang Wen's pocket rang.

That's right, she had a phone too.

It was just that her uncle wouldn't let her carry it when she was at school, only giving it to her on holidays.

"It's Second Cousin."

Tang Wen looked at the caller ID and pouted.

"Answer it!"

"Hmm!"

Tang Wen responded and answered the phone.

"Hello, Brother Heng!"

"Little Mosquito, where are you? Where did you go?"

"I'm going to Yucheng to find Sister Nuannuan to play. I'm on the road."

"Huh? How did you go?"

"Brother Tian came to pick me up. We're already on the way."

"Damn, what the hell? You snuck off without calling me? Hurry up, come back and pick me up too!"

Tang Heng said urgently.

"No, you should stay there. If they start arguing, you can still mediate."

Tang Wen refused without hesitation.

"Little Mosquito, you can't do that. Your brother is uncomfortable staying here too. Give the phone to Brother Tian, hurry, hurry."

"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear you. Oh no, the signal is bad."

Under Qin Tian's surprised gaze, his cousin skillfully played dumb and fooled him, then hung up the phone directly and conveniently turned on airplane mode.

"Who did you learn all this from?"

Qin Tian asked, amused.

"From TV."

Tang Wen stuck out her tongue, smiling like a cunning little fox.

"Watch less of those TV dramas."

Qin Tian rolled his eyes.

"We can't bring him along. It's one thing for me to sneak off, but if we both run off, Dad and the others will be angry."

"You really are a little smarty-pants."

"Hehe..."

Just then, Second Cousin's call came through to Qin Tian's phone, transferred to the car's system.

"Little Mosquito, you dare to play dumb and hang up on me!"

After Qin Tian answered the phone, his second cousin's furious voice came out immediately.

"I didn't, the signal was really bad just now."

Tang Wen played dumb again.

"Heh!"

Tang Heng sneered, ignored her, and said: "Brother, hurry up and turn around to pick me up!"

"We're almost there, we're not going back."

Qin Tian refused.

"Don't do this. I'm scared here too. You don't know how scary Grandfather looked holding that kitchen knife just now."

Tang Heng said bitterly.

"It's not like he's going to chop you, what are you so scared of?"

"You weren't there, you don't know anything. Hurry up, come back and pick me up."

"No, hanging up!"

"Don't be like this, Brother, please."
