Chapter 1118 Meeting at the Doorstep

Zhang Defu asked in surprise, "What? You ran into your brother-in-law?"

Zhang Dongsheng nodded, "Luckily I met my brother-in-law, otherwise, I would not be alive standing in front of you."

Zhang Defu said hello a few times with an extremely uncomfortable look on his face. Then he asked Zhang Dongsheng, "Have you seen your elder sister?"

Zhang Dongsheng nodded, "Dad, my elder sister and brother-in-law are both doing well."

Zhang Defu smiled, "That's good, that's good!"

Then, he looked at Zhang Dongsheng with concern, "Are you hungry from all the traveling?

I'll get you something to eat."

Zhang Dongsheng stopped Zhang Defu and said, "Dad, I've already eaten at my uncle's house."

"have eaten?"

Zhang Defu muttered regretfully, "Then let's go inside and talk!"

Zhang Dongsheng pointed at Tian Caihong, who was still in a daze, and asked, "Dad, have you and Mom eaten yet?"

Zhang Defu shook his head and said, "On weekdays, your uncle, the head of the village, arranges the meals for your mother and me.

The food will be delivered soon."

After hearing what Zhang Defu said, Zhang Dongsheng became even more grateful to Zhang Dequan.

"After all, they care so much about me and your mother because of your eldest sister and brother-in-law.

That day I heard Erzhuang say that your elder sister and brother-in-law are now both great officials.

Dongsheng, is that so? "

Zhang Dongsheng nodded, "Er Zhuang is right.

Dad, they will be back in Shunhe County in the next two days. If you miss them, I will accompany you to the county town to see them."

Zhang Dongsheng glanced at Tian Caihong and said, "Forget about my mother!

Dad, I am capable now, and I have made some military achievements in Qinglan City.

Now I have some money in my hands. I will take care of your and mother's affairs from now on.

Don't accept money from my elder sister anymore."

Zhang Defu opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed.

Zhang Dongsheng saw his expression and guessed about 80% of it, "It's true that my elder sister has money, but that's her money.

What you and mom did has already broken my elder sister's heart.

I am already very grateful that she can take care of you and mom's affairs when I am not at home.

Now that I can support you, let's stop accepting money from my elder sister."

Zhang Defu thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Your mother and I will depend on you for our livelihood in the future. I will listen to you today. If your elder sister sends me money again, I won't accept it."

Zhang Dongsheng smiled with satisfaction, "Dad, you did the right thing."

Zhang Dongsheng looked at the messy house and said, "Dad, let me clean up the house first.

Wait until the food is served, you and mom will eat, and I will chat with you."

Zhang Dongsheng rolled up his sleeves and got to work. He first tidied the house and then coaxed Tian Caihong to wash her face.

After the food was served, Zhang Dongsheng coaxed Tian Caihong to eat.

“Dad, I thought about it when I was cleaning up just now.

In a few days, I will go to Qingfeng City to study.

My mother is in this condition, I'm afraid you can't take care of her by yourself.

But if we only rely on the help of Uncle Dequan and his family, it won’t be a big deal after a long time.”

Zhang Defu looked up at Zhang Dongsheng. He felt very relieved. His support was here and he finally made it.

"Dongsheng, your mother and I are useless. Don't discuss what you want to do with me. Just do it directly!"

"Dad, there are some things I can't do without discussing them with you."

"From now on, you are the head of the family, and you make the decisions."

After hearing what Zhang Defu said, Zhang Dongsheng felt warm in his heart. To be honest, he already knew his own life experience.

He was worried that Zhang Defu would become estranged from him.

He was overthinking the situation today.

"Dad, this matter has something to do with your mother, so I have to discuss it with you.

What I mean is, I will find you an honest and decent family in the village and ask them to help with the housework and take care of you and my mother.

I give you one ounce of silver a month."

When Zhang Defu heard that Zhang Dongsheng wanted to give him one or two taels of silver, he shook his head like a rattle, "Dongsheng, I think the current situation is pretty good.

Let’s not waste this money.”

Zhang Dongsheng was anxious, "Dad, I want to ask you, what's wrong?"

Zhang Defu hesitated, "It's good anyway."

"I know you are reluctant to part with this tael of silver, but have you ever thought about what we can get by spending this tael of silver?

You and my mother can have hot meals every day.

Mom doesn't have to be so dirty every day.

The house must be cleaner and tidier than it is now.

Dad, think about it carefully, no matter what happens, we are the ones who benefit."

Zhang Defu replied in a muffled voice, "It's always comfortable when someone is serving you.

Don’t even think about these things.

You can tell which one is most comfortable just by listening.

But, Dongsheng, do you have so much silver on you?

One ounce of silver a month is not a small sum."

When Zhang Dongsheng heard that Zhang Defu had agreed, he nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, your son really has money.

Look."

Zhang Dongsheng took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Defu, "Dad, keep the money in here for you and Mom's pocket money!"

Zhang Defu refused, but was forced into Zhang Dongsheng's hands.

"Dad, the silver in there isn't much, but it's enough for you and mom to spend for a while.

I made great contributions with everyone in Qinglan City, and the emperor rewarded me with some money.

Later, I followed my eldest brother-in-law and he would give me some money every month.

Look! "

Zhang Dongsheng fumbled around in his pocket for a while, then pulled out a purse. "Dad, these are banknotes."

Zhang Defu took the purse from Zhang Dongsheng's hand and pulled out a banknote from it. "Good boy, you really have ambition."

"Now Dad can rest assured!

I'm going to the village head's house now and ask him to help look for someone."

"Go!"

Zhang Dongsheng had already stepped out of the house, and Zhang Qiuye, supported by Yun Qiao, slowly got off the carriage.

Zhang Dongsheng stuck his head out and looked at the several full carriages in front of him. Wow, aren’t these the same useless things he encountered on the road?

How did you get to your doorstep?

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's going on?

I said, maybe you guys came to the wrong place."

Zhang Qiuye looked in the direction of the voice and wondered in his heart, whose boy is this and why is he standing at his door.

"I haven't asked you yet, who are you?"

Zhang Dongsheng looked in the direction of the voice. His mouth was as big as an egg. This person looked like his second sister.

Zhang Qiuye also realized that the person standing at the door looked like Zhang Dongsheng.

"Dongsheng, is that you?"

"Are you Sister Qiuye?"

“It’s me!

Dongsheng, how are you?

Why are you running away for no reason?

You know, I'm so worried about you!"
