Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Grandpa Qi’s Regret!

In the study, Qi Hao stood trembling in front of his grandfather’s dark desk. Was his grandfather planning to settle accounts with him?

When the Qi family’s Second Uncle came in, he looked worriedly at his son, wondering how this kid had provoked his father. It had to be said that Second Uncle had never seen his father so angry.

Second Uncle didn’t dare persuade him at that moment, and said obediently, “Dad, Zhenbai just drove away!”

Grandpa Qi felt very helpless. He had just read the report, and specially gave Zhenbai a call to question him. He didn’t expect the kid to still want to hide it from him. It was only after he told Zhenbai about the rice test report that the kid confirmed it, saying that it was indeed because of the rice. The rice was very good for the body and utterly extraordinary.

After Qi Hao casually gave the rice away, Qi Zhenbai was actually worried that his grandfather, without knowing the rice’s value, would do the same. Giving it away to someone else wasn’t a big deal, but it was a big deal if his wife was exposed. Since his grandfather asked, Qi Zhenbai also gave him a precise reply, and expressed that his health had indeed improved after eating the rice recently, and that it was his wife who had given it to him.

He also wanted his grandfather and the Qi family to acknowledge this huge favor. He knew very well that his grandfather wouldn’t object since it was Zhenbai’s wife, but it might not be the same for the others.

He just needed his grandfather to adopt a particular stance so that no one in the Qi family would dare say a word about his wife.

The Qi family patriarch hadn’t placed any importance on this spirit rice before, but after learning the exact truth from Zhenbai, and thinking about how even Perfected Zhang coveted this thing, one could imagine how rare this rice was.

Grandpa Qi looked at the trembling boy in front of him, who was still pretending to be innocent, and almost vomited blood.

This good treasure had been given away by this wastrel just like that?

If he wasn’t comforted by the fact that Zhenbai had a wife, the Qi family patriarch would have used the leather whip which he hadn’t touched for more than a decade to whip this kid properly.

Qi Hao was afraid that his grandfather wanted to settle accounts with him, and he hurriedly said, “Grandpa, you said you’d forgive me if I admit my mistake! You also said you’d help speak on my behalf in front of my cousin.”

Grandpa Qi choked at his grandson’s words. Thinking that he had actually spoken up for this kid in front of Zhenbai, he couldn’t help but want to vomit three liters of blood.

He couldn’t lecture this kid, so he directly lashed out at Second Uncle Qi. “Why are you standing at the door? Get in here!” When he saw his second son come in, Grandpa Qi cursed even louder. “You useless thing! Next time, if you and your wife indulge this kid again, I won’t touch your son, but I’ll directly whip you to death!”

He then scolded the father and son again, and the old man’s voice could be heard outside the study. The eldest son of the Qi family was puzzled as to how his brother and Haozi, that rascal, had provoked the old man.

It had been years since the old man was so angry.

After lecturing his second son and grandson, Grandpa Qi remembered how precious that rice was, and hurriedly put it in the safe before he relaxed.

He had originally planned to cook this porridge tomorrow and the day after, but decided not to now. He couldn’t bear to eat it. Thinking of how his second son and his second daughter-in-law, those two wastrels, had cooked such a huge pot of porridge this afternoon, Grandpa Qi’s heart ached terribly. He completely forgot that he was the one who had eaten most of the fragrant porridge that afternoon.

The next day, Grandpa Qi did take out some rice, but the broth was so thin that it made everyone in the Qi family doubt their lives and wonder if the Qi family was experiencing a cash flow problem recently.

But when everyone tasted the fragrant porridge, they forgot the fact that the broth was too thin. Seeing that they wanted to ask, how could Grandpa Qi not know the question? He said coldly, “Eat, eat, don’t ask anything!”

Last night, he somewhat understood Zhenbai’s meaning; Zhenbai didn’t want anyone to know that his wife had anything to do with the rice, and at the same time wanted to talk her up in front of his grandfather. If not for Haozi, this kid, giving the rice away in the beginning, Zhenbai probably would have hidden it from him. However, Grandpa Qi was very happy that Zhenbai had such a good and extraordinary wife!

Sure enough!

Like Perfected Zhang said, Zhenbai was extraordinarily blessed in this life!
