"Okay, stop talking nonsense, do you have any tricks to use?" I interrupted him politely.
Hu Jiu didn't expect that I would be so disrespectful to him. His face suddenly darkened and he snorted coldly and said:
"According to local customs, my uncle must pass three levels before entering the house. Only after passing three levels can he enter this door."
Looking at Hu Jiu's triumphant expression, I couldn't help but smile coldly.
"Really? Then I want to see which three levels it is!"
Hu Jiu smiled and said nothing, waved his hand to the side, shouted and pushed him up.
I followed his gaze and found two burly men standing in the corner of the courtyard. In front of them was a huge object over one meter high, covered with a square
A piece of black cloth, don’t know what’s inside?
After receiving Hu Jiu's instructions, the two big men pushed the giant object covered with black cloth over without saying a word.
"What is this?" Hu Qiu asked with a frown.
Hu Jiu smiled strangely and ripped off the black cloth on the object.
Suddenly, a huge iron cage made of steel bars was revealed, and a black dog was locked in the cage.
This black dog is huge, more than half a man tall, with shiny hair and bulging muscles. There is an iron chain as thick as a thumb tied around its neck, which is tightly tied to the steel bar next to it. At first glance, it looks like an extremely ferocious vicious dog.
"Hu Jiu, what are you doing?"
Hu Qiu became angry the moment he saw the black dog, and shouted directly and loudly.
Hu Jiu ignored Hu Qiu and looked at me with a smile.
"Zhang Jiuyang, have you seen this dog? This is the first level. Dogs see each other with their own eyes."
"What do you mean?" I looked unhappy.
"It's very simple. We have a rule here. When my uncle comes in, he must first say hello to the dog at home, because we believe that dogs are spiritual and inherently recognize their own family members. If the dog shakes its head and tail at you, it means that it likes you very much. This proves that it likes you.
You are one of our own, and you are destined to be the son-in-law of our Hu family."
At this point, he suddenly changed the topic, "On the other hand, if the dog barks at you or bites you, it means that it does not welcome you, and naturally it does not think that you are our relative, which means that you are not suitable.
As the son-in-law of our Hu family, do you understand?" Hu Jiu said proudly.
Looking at Hu Jiu's domineering appearance and looking at the huge vicious dog in the cage, I couldn't help but sneer.
"Hu Jiu, did you buy this dog on purpose? It's obviously a vicious dog. Do you think it can coexist peacefully with strangers?"
A sudden anger arose in my heart. Although I knew they would make things difficult, I didn't expect that they would go so far. Not only did they drag out a dog, but they also linked my identity to that of the Hu family's son-in-law.
It's a local custom to say it nicely, but anyone who's not a fool can see that this is a deliberate attempt to make things difficult and insulting.
Hu Jiu chuckled and didn't take my words to heart at all.
"Zhang Jiuyang, you can't tell me this. These are the rules of Seoul. We also act according to the rules. This is what other families do, and our Hu family is no exception."
I gritted my teeth and said nothing, and my face became extremely gloomy.
"Hu Jiu, you are clearly making things difficult on purpose. You have gone too far." Hu Qiu's face turned pale with anger.
"I'm not the only one paying attention to this. Everyone means it. If you don't believe me, you can ask them. Even grandpa didn't say anything." Hu Jiu confidently said.
The laughter of his peers suddenly sounded nearby. Some were mocking, some were gloating, but no one spoke for Hu Qiu.
Obviously, none of them welcome me, the future son-in-law of the Hu family.
Hu Qiu could only look at Mr. Hu behind the gate for help.
"Grandpa, they are obviously deliberately making things difficult, can't you see?"
Mr. Hu's face became even more embarrassed. Just when he was about to say something, Hu Man stood up from his chair.
"Xiaoqiu, why are you talking to grandpa? This is indeed our custom in Seoul. We also want to see God's will by doing this!"
Hu Qiu obviously didn't expect that his sister-in-law would be standing opposite him at this time. He was so surprised that he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"What a providence. Since you are making things difficult like this, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
Hu Qiu's face was covered with frost, and he turned around and took my hand.
"Jiuyang, you go in with me, and I'll see who dares to stop you!"
After saying this, Hu Qiu took me and walked into the yard.
I didn't expect Hu Qiu to have such a strong side. I couldn't help but feel a little different in my heart, and even more moved.
But as soon as he took two steps, Hu Jiu's strange voice sounded.
"Zhang Jiuyang, if you are a man, don't follow a woman. This will only make people look down on you. Our Hu family does not have such a useless son-in-law!"
My face darkened and I stopped immediately.
"Jiuyang, don't pay attention to him, he is just crazy!" Hu Qiu said angrily.
Hu Jiu snorted coldly, "Hu Qiu, don't forget that you are also from our Hu family, and I am your cousin. You are not married yet, so you just turn your elbows outward. Isn't it too much!"
"Am I going too far?" Hu Qiu laughed angrily at the other party.
"You are just kidding me. When will it be your turn to point fingers at Hu Qiu's marriage? Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. After all, I'm not afraid that Zhang Jiuyang's entry into the Hu family will damage your interests!"
Hu Qiu punctured the window paper without hesitation.
I was even more moved.
Hu Jiu's face turned ugly.
"enough!"
A majestic voice suddenly sounded from behind the door.
I knew it was Hu Tiangang who spoke without looking.
His face was gloomy, with a heavy sense of coercion.
"Xiao Qiu, don't be ridiculous. This is indeed our custom in Seoul. We don't mean to make things difficult by doing this. Otherwise, how could I specially arrange a reception banquet for him? If Zhang Jiuyang continues to be sincere,
If he can't pass this test, it means it's God's will. He really has no family connection with our Hu family, and naturally he has no connection with you!"
"Second uncle, you..."
Hu Qiu was immediately so angry that he could not speak, and even his voice started to tremble.
"Okay, don't say any more, just accept the test obediently!"
Hu Tiangang snorted coldly, sat back, and looked at me indifferently.
I scanned their faces one by one. Wherever I looked, everyone's face was filled with indifference.
Obviously, this was a game they organized together to give me a heads-up and even use this topic to block me out.
I took a deep breath and gently pulled my hand out of Hu Qiu's jade hand.
"Jiuyang, don't be impulsive!" Hu Qiu said quickly.
I patted her shoulder gently, "Don't worry, they can't trouble me. I, Zhang Jiuyang, haven't taken this little trick into my eyes yet!"
Next to him, he suddenly remembered Hu Jiu’s sneer.
Regarding this clown, I simply chose to ignore it. Instead, my eyes fell on Hu Tiangang, and I sneered in my heart.
