C105 coincidentally, it was a happy occasion (2/2)

”Old man, how come you're the only one in your family?” Shu Ling immediately felt that it was strange.

Wei Yutian was heartless, he immediately picked up the food and threw it into his mouth.

”My wife has gone to the General's Hall. I've entertained some fellow villagers this time, so I'm going to the General's Hall to enjoy my later years of life.” The old man said proudly.

Shu Ling could feel the pride and pride from the old man.

”Your son has become a general?” Shu Ling asked.

”If only my son was a little bit more promising, I would be satisfied. My daughter married Gold Pearl Country Huang Sheng, so this son-in-law wants to take us all in for the better days.” As the old man spoke, his approval of his son-in-law was revealed.

This Huang Sheng was no other than the one that Wei Yutian met when he just broke up with Daoist Mian. However, this person was already middle-aged and was not far from the half-a-hundred mark. It was not normal for him to have such an emotional reaction when he had just asked for a wife.

However, Shu Ling did not know about all these, he had never heard of Huang Sheng.

”It really is time to congratulate this old man. This old man's birthday is going to be high this year?” Shu Ling asked while eating.

”I'm sixty to eighty this year!” The old man replied.

Shu Ling felt that it was strange. An old man who was sixty-eight years old, his daughter should be at least forty years old. How could she still have such charm to marry a Great General?

”This old man is truly blessed. Daughters are definitely talented and good-looking.” Shu Ling was just casually saying it, he couldn't possibly stay away from eating and not say anything.

At this time, the old man was a bit embarrassed. He wasn't shy from happiness, but was a bit embarrassed instead.

”Sigh, speaking of her, she is indeed fortunate. My daughter is already a scammer, before this, everyone in the village said that this girl could never marry again, but they did not expect her to be this old, or even be taken fancy by the Great General. Who knows what kind of virtue she accumulated in her previous life.” As the old man spoke, it was as if he was dreaming about this sudden good thing.

Shu Ling felt that it was even more strange, according to what he knew, the girl Thirteen had already started looking for her in-laws, and now, even though this family of daughters had gone all the way to the fourth place, they actually found a general to be their husband. If it was said that they had an unfathomable marriage, then it would be okay, just that such things were rarely seen in the world.

It was even more impossible for her to covet anything. As a country bumpkin, what was there to covet? From what the old man said, his daughter was likely not a beautiful woman. That would be even stranger.

”It must be luck, but since luck is on your side, why don't you take your son as a general in the Military Residence? ”It can be said that you have made a name for yourself.”

Shu Ling was not asking for nothing, he was not very optimistic about this seemingly happy occasion.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the elder found it difficult to say anything, but he was gradually relieved.

A few years ago, I heard that he became some general of the Gold Pearl Country, but during this period of time, he has never returned, and I do not know whether that is true or false. Furthermore, a while ago, there was a sudden news of him becoming a traitor again, saying that he took the Gold Pearl Country's defensive map or something and ran away. Originally, my good son-in-law wanted to come and search our family, but he took a fancy to my daughter, which was why this joyous event happened. ”

The old man's expression was a little gloomy at one moment, and at the next, he became spirited again.

Shu Ling was finally able to hear some questions that he could ask. He was already certain that this joyous event had something else hidden in it.

He thought: ”Since the general of a country has personally come to check, it means that this old man's son must have brought something extraordinary with him. If it is a defensive map, then that is impossible. Furthermore, after such a long time had passed, even if the arrangement of the defenses had not changed, the enemy troops of the Gold Pearl Country should have already started attacking based on the map, Huang Sheng wouldn't even have the time to be the groom. ”It's obvious that there is a hidden story behind all of this. As for what it is, I'm afraid the only way to find out is to investigate it.”

The moment he thought of this, Shu Ling did not say anything further. He only exchanged a few pleasantries with the old man, asked about the son and daughter's names, and then started to chat with the old man about other things.

The old man's surname was Qian, his son was Qian Hongjun, and his daughter was Qian Mei.

Qian Hongjun was a tall and sturdy man, and he had possessed immense strength since he was young. When he mentioned his childhood, the old man was rather proud.

Shu Ling did not ask any more about some of the family members.

Only at the end did the old man start to pay attention to Wei Yutian who was silently eating. He could not help but see that the person in front of him might have some mental problems, he was already half a part of the person in the ground, if he still could not see through it, that would be weird.

After conversing a little more, the old man went to clean up a room for the two of them to stay and rest. Shu Ling did not reject them, after all, he believed that there must be some injustice behind the old man's happy occasion.
