Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 519: Chapter 520: This Matter Is Quite Serious (For Latte Baibai +4)

She took a small piece of paper that she sometimes cut out to draw little things on, focused her mind, and began to draw the Calming Talisman Figure according to the pattern in the book.

The Talisman Diagram was about the size of a palm, and when she had finished the final stroke, she saw the pattern suddenly flash with light and then vanish.

Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but rub them. Had she seen things?

Yet, looking at the Calming Talisman Figure, Chiang Xiao did feel rather good, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t see anything special about it.

Although there had been a flash of light just now, perhaps that was only because the Spatial Ganoderma Ginseng had grown stronger, and its medicinal properties had become more potent, thus maybe the Magic Brush had evolved as well?

Should she go out and find someone to test if there was anything special about this Calming Talisman Figure?

Just as Chiang Xiao was thinking this, she heard some noise from outside; it seemed Ge Dejun and Liu Pei had returned.

She folded up the Talisman Diagram, put away the Magic Brush, and flashed out of the space, intending to first put the diagram into something when she suddenly heard Liu Pei’s crying.

Chiang Xiao was startled and ran out the door without thinking, still clutching the Talisman Diagram in her hand.

”What’s wrong with auntie-grandma?”

In the living room, everyone was present, but their faces all looked rather unpleasant.

Liu Pei sat in her chair, wiping her tears while shouting at Ge Dejun, ”Ge Dejun, you tell me, tell Little Little, is it my fault what happened today? Let her judge for herself.”

What had happened?

Chiang Xiao was truly at a loss.

Normally, this old couple had a good relationship. Of course, to talk about love in their generation might not yield many words.

But they cared for each other daily, were aware of each other’s needs, knew when one was warm or cold; that was enough.

Moreover, the couple rarely ever raised their voices or argued.

She looked towards Ge Dejun.

Ge Dejun’s face, however, turned red with embarrassment.

Chiang Xiao’s eyes went wide—wow, could it be, looking at De Jun’s expression, that it might have something to do with another woman?

”What is there to say about this matter to Little Little, a child? After so many years, do you still not understand what kind of man I am? I never said it was your fault today...”

”Yes! You didn’t say it was my fault!” Liu Pei cried out louder while wiping her tears, ”But you made me apologize to that woman in front of mother! Tell me, if I’m not wrong, why on earth did you make me apologize to her? Didn’t you see how smug she was? Where should I put my old face? Anyway, Ge, I can’t swallow this insult today! You go live over there! Go stay with your mother! Whatever she says, just listen to her! Let’s not share meals anymore!”

Uh, that’s getting quite serious.

Chiang Xiao looked towards Ge Xiaotong, who helplessly shook her head to indicate that she really did not know what had happened either. Her mother had come back crying, and since then had been firing at Ge Dejun nonstop without ever revealing the issue.

”Auntie-grandma, let’s talk this over nicely,” Chiang Xiao walked over to Liu Pei.

But today, Liu Pei seemed to have been particularly distressed, and upon hearing Chiang Xiao’s words, she immediately spoke loudly again, ”It’s not that I refuse to talk nicely! Little Little, you just ask him, ask what he did at the Ge Family home!”

She had been enduring, tolerating grievances for almost half her life, and she didn’t know why, but in the past, she bore it all; though she always felt trouble in her heart, she never thought of making a fuss or resisting. However, today, when she faced this incident, she simply couldn’t stand it anymore.
