Chapter 218: Chapter 221 Little Yama Returns Chapter 218: Chapter 221 Little Yama Returns “I’m confident in the script. If Yang Wenying can’t work with such a good script, then she is really lousy,” Su Hai could be very biting with his words, yet his patience wasn’t as great as it seed.
The script is being polished by a professional before being handed over to Yang Wenying, Sheng Ning was indeed talented, but his writing style was sowhat raw, a clear sign of a novice. He was a demanding person, never starting until everything was perfect.
“Okay! Got it!”
**********
Xu Qigang took the train in the afternoon and arrived ho at midnight.
As he entered the village, dogs were barking wildly around him. With the Chinese New Year approaching, thefts were on the rise, and Xu Xianxiong got out of bed upon hearing the barking, worrying it might be a thief. He donned his clothes and picked up an iron pitchfork to investigate.
The mont he opened the courtyard door, he saw a dark figure smoking at the entrance. A tiny spark flickered in the darkness.
“Who’s there?” Xu Xianxiong shouted, startling the neighbors on both sides, who rushed out wielding various farming tools.
“Dad, it’s !” Xu Qigang threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.
“My son?” Xu Xianxiong held his raised iron pitchfork frozen in midair.
The neighbors, still holding their tools, stood in shock.
Xu Qigang coughed awkwardly, waking everyone from their astonishnt.
“Carry on, carry on. Ah, it’s Little Yama who’s co back. He hasn’t been back in years!”
It had been a struggle to send him away back then, the village had been rid of a potential troublemaker for so many years. Why had he returned now?
Even Left Green Dragon and Right White Tiger were afraid of him, which proved that Little Yama was even more fearso.
Xu Qigang knew he wasn’t highly regarded by the villagers and didn’t bother with pleasantries, maintaining his aloof deanor.
“Son, you’re back… hahaha…” Xu Xianxiong was overjoyed.
“Keep it down!” Xu Qigang, not wanting to disturb his mother, quickly interjected.
Xu Xianxiong’s laughter, as if soone had suddenly seized his throat, stopped abruptly.
The neighbors heading back nodded in agreent, indeed, Little Yama was just as formidable as ever. His presence was imdiately felt.
“Co in, co in. Why did you suddenly co back without letting us know in advance?” Xu Xianxiong said smilingly as he welcod his son into the house. After bolting the door, father and son walked inside, side by side.
When it ca to the reason for his return, Xu Qigang’s handso face hidden in the dark felt a bit uneasy. He pursed his lips and said, “It’s about a marriage issue.”
“I’m sorry, son, it’s my fault for being useless, not even being able to sort out this small matter for you,” Xu Xianxiong said apologetically.
Zhao Lanzi, hearing the noise inside the house, ca out wrapped in clothes and overheard his words. She imdiately grabbed Xu Xianxiong’s ear and scolded, “You really are useless, otherwise why would our son have to rush back in the middle of the night?”
“I’m sorry, wife; I was wrong, I was wrong,” admitted Xu Xianxiong honestly with sincere remorse, “Wife, please forgive this once. Our son is watching. Let save a little face.”
“Hmph! Do you even have any face left? How many tis has our son seen you kneel and scrub the washboard since he was little?”
“Not few, not few! But now our son is a Captain, I can’t bring too much sha on myself as Captain’s dad.”
“Hmph! I’ll let you off this ti.”
Xu Qigang watched his parents’ exchange in silence, wondering if his father’s experiences could be a lesson for his future interaction with Xiao Ning.
He was Living Yama, the resolute and decisive Living Yama who would never bow to anyone. But if the one he had to bow to was his wife, he might consider it.
