When Chang Xingwang got out of the car, apart from being pale, he was fully recovered, far exceeding expectations.

The Chang family breathed a huge sigh of relief; the second son's family was saved!

Granny Chang was heartbroken and ran to help Chang Xingwang up: "Xingwang, what happened to you?"

"It's okay, Mom, I'm fine!"

Chang Xingwang looked up at the steps and stared at Zhou Hongyu for a long time, almost as if he would never see her again.

The overwhelming joy of finding something lost!

Zhou Hongyu was taken aback. Chang Xingwang's return this time felt very different to her, as if something had happened!

Did he survive a near-death experience?

"You're back!"

"I'm back!"

Chang Xingwang wasn't very talkative in front of others, and the two didn't act too intimately when they met.

After Chang Xingwang greeted everyone, Old Man Chang couldn't wait to pull him into his house.

Granny Chang invited the driver to stay for dinner, but the driver had to go back to take the old leader to his workplace and politely declined the Chang family's kind invitation.

Old Man Chang pressed his son into a chair, excitedly went back to his room and rummaged through his treasured liquor. He was so happy to have his son home!

Seeing Old Man Chang pouring wine from the bottle into two small cups, Granny Chang's eyelids twitched violently, and she angrily scolded, "Xingwang is like this now, how can he drink any more wine!"

If she doesn't scold, then it'll be the Zhou family mother and daughter's turn to scold!

Old Chang was displeased and muttered, "I'm happy my son is back, what's wrong with having a little drink!"

Granny Zhou, with a smiling face, urged, "It's alright, it's alright, drink! Drink up! Out with the old, in with the new!"

Chang Hongbing: "..."

Auntie, you practically called my second brother a short-lived bastard to his face!

Old Man Chang came to his senses and moved the wine glass that was in front of Chang Xingwang to Chang Hongbing.

He added, "I wanted to drink with Hongbing!"

Granny Zhou chuckled coldly and ignored her.

When dinner was served, Xiao Zhuang, despite losing an arm, hadn't changed at all and was still very talkative. Old Man Chang chatted enthusiastically with Xiao Zhuang, drinking and inquiring about Chang Xingwang's work situation.

Xiao Zhuang answered every question, making the elderly Chang couple smile from ear to ear. Even Chang Hongbing squeezed in to join in the fun, chatting incessantly about Chang Xingwang.

The protagonist sat quietly next to Zhou Hongyu.

Zhou Hongyu took a few bites of her favorite steamed fish, then looked up at her and asked, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

Chang Xingwang shook his head: "There's nothing to say. Do you want to hear it? I'll tell you tonight!"

Zhou Hongyu glanced at his pale face. "Let's talk about it tonight? Why don't you wait until you're dead!"

Who said he was a decent person? He's obviously a closet pervert!

At this moment, Chang Meiying, who was eating meat, suddenly said loudly, "Mom, I'm not sleeping with you tonight. Let Dad sleep with you instead!"

Zhou Hongyu immediately turned her head, laughing and scolding, "Do you think I'm a puppy that hasn't been weaned? I can sleep by myself!"

Chang Meiying didn't believe it, but she didn't dare to challenge her mother's authority. She kept laughing and snuggled into Granny Zhou's arms with her greasy little hands. Granny Zhou protected her with a doting smile.

Chang Xingwang glanced at Chang Pengfei and Chang Shuying, who were chatting beside him. He should have another son: "Where's Rihui?"

Zhou Hongyu was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands!

Chang Rihui has become so arrogant that she has almost forgotten she has a son!

Chang Meiying poked her head out of her grandmother's arms and chattered repeatedly, "Third Brother isn't coming home! Third Brother isn't coming home!"

Chang Xingwang's eyes turned a different color. Every time he left, he would repeatedly tell Chang Rihui to take good care of the family, but he did this insincerely!

Someone's going to get beaten up!

"Huaying's back! Huaying! Go quickly and tell your second uncle which university you got into!"

Chen Zhaodi, who was usually inconspicuous at the dinner table, suddenly became very lively.

She can proudly show off that her daughter, who is studying at a top university, has returned home.

Chang Huaying and Chang Rihui entered the house one after the other.

Chang Huaying was carrying her schoolbag, dressed as if she had just finished class.

"Second Uncle, something happened at school, so I came back late."

"Dad, I went to pick up my older sister and I'm late!"

However, the two of them had just met at the entrance of the alley.

Chang Rihui, without blushing or skipping a beat, found an excuse for his late return. Little did he know that his younger sister had already chosen the route for him!

Chang Xingwang nodded: "Let's sit down and eat first!"

Now is not the time to deal with Chang Rihui, after all, after dinner tonight, Xiao Zhuang has to catch the train back to his hometown tomorrow morning.

Xiao Zhuang and the others were just talking about this topic.

When Old Man Chang heard from Xiao Zhuang that he wanted to return to his hometown because of this accident, he was the first to object.

"Xiao Zhuang, you're too young to understand. Someone like you should stay in the capital. The capital is better than your hometown in every way, and you'll have more opportunities there!"

Chang Hongbing: "Employees in Beijing enjoy good benefits and high retirement pensions. It wouldn't be bad to retire in our hometowns after receiving our Beijing retirement pensions. Several of my colleagues from other places in our workshop think this way!"

Granny Chang: "Xiao Zhuang, judging from your appearance, you're probably not married yet. If you stay in the capital, you might be able to find a good girl, but if you go back to your hometown, it's uncertain!"

Xiao Zhuang glanced at Chang Xingwang, unmoved: "Auntie, Uncle, and Brother Hongbing, I'm practically crippled now that I've lost an arm. The competition in Beijing is fierce, so I'd rather go back to my hometown and live a more comfortable life. As for getting married and having children, I have no such plans. Someone like me shouldn't be a burden to a good girl!"

The three members of the Chang family stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone has their own preferences, and they should respect Xiao Zhuang's wishes. Perhaps returning to his hometown would be a better choice for Xiao Zhuang.

Looking at Xiao Zhuang's empty sleeves, Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It was too hard for Xiao Zhuang to encounter such a misfortune at such a young age.

Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but ask, "You two are colleagues, how did Xiao Zhuang get injured in his arm?"

And Chang Xingwang looks like a ghost; anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been locked up and abused.

Chang Xingwang's wound throbbed with pain: "There was a slight problem at work, and Xiao Zhuang got like this because he was protecting me."

Zhou Hongyu was in a terrible state. Xiao Zhuang had lost an arm because of Chang Xingwang, and Chang Xingwang owed him so much.

You owe Xiao Zhuang a life!

"I know, that's why I left something for Xiao Zhuang without your permission!"

Chang Xingwang whispered, "After this job, I received $20,000 as payment. I used part of the money to buy land and gave it to you as a gift. I'm keeping the rest for Xiao Zhuang. I don't have anything too good, so I can only do my best!"

"Sigh!" Zhou Hongyu was a little frightened. She suggested, "Why don't you transfer those lands to Xiaozhuang? I think they can increase in value a hundredfold. Xiaozhuang will have more confidence in the future. I want to buy more myself; I have the money..."

Chang Xingwang's expression suddenly hardened: "What I give you is yours, don't even think about transferring it to anyone! Xiao Zhuang, I will compensate him when I have the means!"
