Chapter 1124 and Beyond

Zhang Dequan asked in surprise, "Dongsheng, are you going back to Qingfeng City?

No, kid, why are you going back to Qingfeng City?

Our village is pretty good, isn’t it you? ”

Zhang Dongsheng quickly explained, "Uncle, listen to me, I returned to Qingfeng City for the purpose of studying.

Before I came back, my eldest brother-in-law had already made arrangements with me to settle my family and then return to Qingfeng City to study."

"Okay, studying is a good thing. When you graduate from high school one day, it will bring honor to your family."

Zhang Dongsheng bowed respectfully to Zhang Dequan and said, "Uncle, when I go to Qingfeng City, I'll trouble you to take care of the family affairs."

"My child, we are a family, this is not what I should do.

Just concentrate on your studies.

I’ll take care of everything.”

"Thank you, uncle. Can you help me find someone for my family?"

"I'll help you find it as soon as possible."

After Zhang Dongsheng left Zhang Dequan's house, he breathed a sigh of relief. After settling his parents, he could study with peace of mind.

Since he has decided to study, he must pass the imperial examination, otherwise he will be sorry for those who helped him.

When he was halfway there, he heard someone calling him, "Dongsheng, Dongsheng."

Zhang Dongsheng turned around and saw that the person calling him looked a little unfamiliar, but he seemed to have seen him somewhere.

Wang Xingcai ran to Zhang Dongsheng breathlessly. Zhang Dongsheng narrowed his eyes, as if to say, "Don't let strangers get close to you." "Who are you?"

Wang Xingcai didn't expect Zhang Dongsheng to not recognize him. He quickly pointed to the distance and said, "I'm from the Wang family. I live over there in the village."

"Oh, you want to talk to me about something?"

Wang Xingcai nodded, "Dongsheng, you really don't know me?

Or maybe your mother never told you anything?"

Zhang Dongsheng bowed to Wang Xingcai and said, "Uncle Wang, don't blame me. I study outside on weekdays, and I really can't recognize the people in the village except my own family.

Also, my mother is crazy. As a villager, you should know that.

Besides, some of these things are just spoken by a madman, so no one would believe them!

Uncle Wang, we’ll know each other when we meet again.

I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Wang Xingcai wanted to call out to Zhang Dongsheng, but Zhang Dongsheng didn't want to pay any attention to him and soon walked away.

Wang Xingcai was so angry that he stamped his feet. Today, when he was out doing some work, he heard people talking about Zhang Dongsheng's return.

He thought, why not ask him some questions.

Because Wang Xingwang had once promised him that if he had the ability to let Zhang Dongsheng know his life experience, he would give him one hundred taels of silver after the task was accomplished.

One hundred taels of silver! Even if he worked on the farm all his life, he might not be able to earn that much silver.

Of course he was moved.

But after waiting for a long time, he only got the news that Tian Caihong had gone crazy, and there was no news from Wang Xingwang.

He was unwilling to accept this. He was worried that Wang Xingwang would recognize Zhang Dongsheng without him, and then his one hundred taels of silver would be wasted.

Today he thought about it for a long time before he decided to come over and talk to Zhang Dongsheng to see if he could get anything out of him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dongsheng ignored him completely.

It was also inconvenient for him to go to Zhang Defu's home because Zhang Defu had fallen out with them a few years ago.

If he went at this time, what if Zhang Defu asked the Zhang family to beat him?

Now the entire Dahe Village is the domain of the Zhang family.

Alas, Wang Xingcai sighed. Now he could only hope that Wang Xingwang would show up sooner. In this way, he might still have a chance to get one hundred taels of silver.

Zhang Dongsheng returned home, cleaned up Tian Caihong, cooked some food, and had dinner with Zhang Defu.

He went back to his room. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wang Xingcai must have something to ask him.

He thought that he should find out Wang Xingwang's address as soon as possible, so that some things could be settled.

However, he has asked his eldest brother-in-law to find the person. Maybe his eldest brother-in-law will be able to give him news in a couple of days.

That day, his brother-in-law also advised him to be himself and not think too much.

Zhang Dongsheng also felt that his elder brother-in-law was right. Zhang Defu had been very good to him since he was a child, and he could not be an ungrateful person.

Before returning home, he made a decision.

There was a knock on the door, but Zhang Defu didn't come out. Zhang Dongsheng could only reply, "Who is it?"

"Is it Master Zhang?

I'm from the county town, and your second sister sent me to deliver a letter to you."

Zhang Dongsheng didn't want to open the door, but then he thought, Zhang Qiuye is his sister after all, and his mother is crazy again, so he is their support after all.

He stood up and went to open the door. The messenger was quite polite and handed the letter to Zhang Dongsheng respectfully. "Master Zhang, the messenger said that you must read the letter.

She said she had something very important in the letter.”

After saying this, the man ran away.

Zhang Dongsheng wanted to shout but couldn't.

He took the letter into the house, stared at it for a long time with a frown, thinking to himself that he knew his second sister's character best.

There's no good news if you look for him.

But what if something really happens to her?

Now he is the only male who can support the family.

Thinking of this, he opened the letter.

In the letter, Zhang Qiuye put it simply, saying that she had encountered some serious problems.

He couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so he invited him to come into the city to talk.

Finally, she wrote the name of the inn where she was staying.

Zhang Dongsheng looked at the letter in a daze. He was thinking, should he go to Shunhe County?

In Shunhe County, Yunqiao worriedly asked Zhang Qiuye, "Sister, Dongsheng received the letter. What if he doesn't come?"

Zhang Qiuye comforted Yun Qiao, "Just don't worry.

I know this brother of mine best.

If I tell him I'm in trouble, he'll definitely come."

"So, Dongsheng is still very responsible."

"That's right, my brother, he is very responsible.

You have good taste, but then again, it would be a blessing for my brother if he could marry you."

Yun Qiao lowered her head shyly, "Sister, don't talk nonsense when we haven't even started yet."

"As long as I acknowledge you, the matter will be half done."

Yun Qiao was secretly delighted after hearing what Zhang Qiuye said. She looked at Zhang Qiuye gratefully and said, "Sister, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the street and buy it for you."

Zhang Qiuye counted on his fingers and talked about which shop had the most delicious cloud cakes, which shop had the most delicious porridge, and which shop had the most fragrant fried dishes.

Yun Qiao listened attentively without a trace of impatience, "Sister, please wait patiently at the inn, I will buy everything for you in a while.

Sister, do you know what Dongsheng likes to eat?

Did I buy it together?"

"Then I'll have to think about it."

Zhang Qiuye thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer. "Yunqiao, I like to eat it. Just buy some..."
