"That's the house with the grass tree in front of the village."

From his position, he could already see the village chief's house.

Zhang Jianhua thanked him and hurried towards the village chief's house.

I could hear Xie Linan talking outside.

He breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his pace while carrying the box.

The village chief's family looked at Zhang Jianhua in surprise.

"Are you Xiaoli's family, Zhang Jianhua?"

"Hey, it's me."

Xie Lin An and Lin Xinghua, who were inside the room, heard his voice and came out as well.

Zhang Jianhua looked at them and smiled, "Luckily you guys are in the village, otherwise I would have to look for you."

Xie Linan said calmly, "Sit down for a while, we are having dinner."

Zhang Jianhua's face froze.

But he didn't think much about it. In his impression, Xie Linan always had some opinions about him.

Considering that Xie Li used her earnings to support herself instead of lending money to him, it was normal for him to have some opinions about himself.

"Grandpa, are you feeling well?"

"It's OK. It's just an old skeleton."

Outsiders didn't know what was going on in their family, so they greeted Zhang Jianhua warmly.

The village chief asked his wife to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks and invited him to dinner.

As for seeing Xie Linan's indifference towards his brother-in-law, they also didn't think much about it and just thought it was a revenge from their school days.

"Zhang Jianhua, are you still going to the country this time when you come back?"

Zhang Jianhua replied: "If I have to leave, I will come back to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, I have to go back to the country."

"Tsk, tsk, how many years will this take? You're always away from home, leaving your wife and your daughter at home, and your wife is like a widow. Your daughter is about to grow up, and you, as a father, haven't been able to take good care of her."

"Yes, but we have to build our country, so there is no other way."

"Then it's time for your unit to change someone, right?"

"Alas! I have been doing this for several years and I am quite familiar with it. If someone else takes over, they will have to learn everything from scratch."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know either. I'll listen to the leader."

The village chief just felt that this was unreliable, and it was the same whether he was there or not.

He was drunk and talked a lot. He pulled Zhang Jianhua aside and scolded him for a long time.

I feel that Xie Li got nothing by marrying him.

But the village chief's wife doesn't think so. She thinks that as long as there is money to send home, it doesn't matter whether the man goes home or not.

It's better than being a lazy man who can't even earn a penny, right?

Then the village chief heard the hidden meaning and said, "Old woman, why do I feel that what you said is not right? What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Humph, I don't mean anything."

That's all, he left in anger.

The village chief was drunk and his face was red, but he didn't stop and asked her to bring another bottle of wine.

Then Xie Linan saw that the village chief's wife looked unhappy, so he stopped the village chief and said, "That's enough. You can't drink any more."

"Drink, I can drink. I know your alcohol tolerance."

"No, no, I really can't drink anymore. I have to drive later."

"What's the big deal about driving? I can drink, but I can't let that old woman look down on me."

The old lady in the kitchen: “…”

"I think you are itchy, old man."

"Hey, you old woman, you're still cursing? Do you look down on me? Humph, I know, you just despise me for being incompetent, you just look down on me..."

Um?

Are we going to have a quarrel?

The group was very embarrassed.

Xie Linan stood up and said, "Third Master, we have to go now. We will come to see you another day."

"Ah? No, there's still a bottle of good wine left to drink."

"No more drinking, no more drinking, we have to go."

After saying this, he quickly helped Lin Xinghua away.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianhua hurriedly followed.

When we got to the entrance of the village, we found that the pickup truck parked on the side of the road belonged to Xie Linan.

He got into the car and asked with a smile, "Lin An, how much did you pay for this car?"

"More than 50,000 yuan." Xie Lin'an answered casually.

Zhang Jianhua said: "Then you bought the ordinary model. This car is better and has configurations worth tens of thousands."

Um?

He is so familiar with this...

Xie Linan asked: "Could it be that my brother-in-law also bought this?"

"No, I bought a Santana."

At that time, a Santana cost more than 100,000 yuan, which was not affordable for ordinary people.

Zhang Jianhua suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added: "I didn't buy it, it was assigned to me by my unit."

Xie Linan did not expose him, but just smiled and said, "It seems that my brother-in-law's unit is doing very well."

"It's OK. After all, it's a state-owned enterprise. They do a good job in humanistic care, but the funding is not high."

"That's not bad, it's a lot. My brother-in-law can get more than two hundred yuan in salary, and he can also be given a car. I guess my brother-in-law has some status in your unit."

Zhang Jianhua waved his hands and said, "No matter what, I'm just living a lazy life."

Xie Lin'an knew what was going on and kept it to himself.

I thought that Xiaozhen had guessed it right. He was able to transfer the funds back on time, which showed that this amount of money was just a small amount for him.

Coastal cities are full of gold and are places where you can make money.

He could just give her some pocket money to comfort her wife and daughter at home and keep his image as a good man. There was really no need for him to force his sister to divorce.

He has a home on both sides, which makes him very happy.

No, he has to tell his sister when he gets back.

While he's coming back, we need to let him recover some blood.

Otherwise, the money would just be given to outsiders.

…

Hongxia was very happy to hear that her father was back.

Especially seeing that Zhang Jianhua was dressed very respectably and brought back half a box of gifts for her.

He was carrying a big suitcase, and apart from a change of clothes and some gifts for Xie Li, the rest was all for Hong Xia.

Everything I eat and wear are English brands, said to be imported from abroad, and ordinary people can't buy them at all.

Hongxia was so happy that she showed off a bunch of things and surrounded Zhang Jianhua, calling him "Dad" over and over again.

Xie Li was very angry.

"Look how happy she is. What's so good about a torn skirt? I think she is very vain. Humph, I shouldn't have hidden this from her father. I am so mad at him. No, I am going to expose him now."

Ye Xiaozhen, who worked in the kitchen, stopped her and said, "It's normal for a girl like Hongxia to be a little vain. That skirt is really beautiful. At present, our domestic designers really can't make it."

"Hey, why are you still helping me speak?"

Ye Xiaozhen didn't know what to say, so she told Hongxia to show off the skirt she had just seen, a Dior skirt, which cost $500 when converted into RMB.

There are several other pieces of clothing, including a down jacket, which is definitely only more expensive than the skirt and is not cheap.

This half box of gifts must cost several thousand yuan, right?

This is a huge sum of money for modern Chinese people.

Could it be that she really guessed it right and Zhang Jianhua became rich?

"Xiaozhen, what are you looking at? Why aren't you talking?"

Ye Xiaozhen came back to her senses and whispered to Xie Li, "Zhang Jianhua may have made a fortune."

"Ah? Getting rich? How do you know that?"

"Hongxia is showing off that skirt."

"What?..."

"Tsk..."

Ye Xiaozhen quickly covered her mouth.
