After visiting the spirit, Zhang Fu took Tang Xiaobao and the other person to a room on the second floor, and soon, charcoal fire was brought up.

Look, this treatment is not bad.

It is cold in the mountain village, so everyone is used to roasting charcoal. There are big mountains nearby, and villagers go into the mountains to burn charcoal every winter. Every household has stored a lot of charcoal. They may not have much money, but they definitely have a lot of charcoal.

After a while, Zhang Fu had lunch delivered, which was quite sumptuous.

Seeing Yingying had no appetite, Tang Xiaobao advised: "The dead cannot be resurrected, so don't think too much. Eat something first."

"I'm not hungry."

Yingying said, "I don't know what unreasonable demands they will make later."

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "It's just a little money, it's okay. As long as they don't ask for too much, I'll just agree to it. I see the people in this village are quite poor, so just consider it a charity. You've also returned the favor, and from now on, no one owes anyone anything."

Yingying sighed: "In the end, you have to pay off my debt."

"You're already my wife, and you still can't tell the difference between you and me. Don't think too much. Eat a little and have a taste of your hometown."

He took a bite and praised, "Hurry up and eat some, hey, it tastes pretty good."

Yingying still shook her head.

She really didn't want to eat.

"By the way, when are we leaving?"

Tang Xiaobao had no choice but to eat alone, and asked casually.

"At least we have to wait for Second Mother to come up the mountain. I think it's about time to leave tomorrow."

"It depends on the situation. If you ask me, it would be best to finish it as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible."

Yingying hesitated to speak, but finally nodded.

She is back, what can she possibly do? She can only try her best to make her conscience feel better.

Er Niang was very good to them sisters in the beginning, but over the years, she has also repaid more than 200,000 yuan in debts of favor. It is really hard to calculate how much she still owes. You can say that you don't owe it, and it is also reasonable to say that you can never repay it in your lifetime.

Yingying's arrival caused a lot of discussion outside.

A group of people who had worked outside pulled Zhang Fu and his brothers aside and started giving them all kinds of suggestions.

"Uncle Zhang, your Zhang family's chance to make a fortune has come."

"That's right, Tang Xiaobao is a billionaire, we can't let him go easily."

"This is the perfect opportunity to kill him. After all, Yingying has lived in your family for so many years. She came back because she remembers the old relationship. Just make your request later, and don't ask for less."

"I heard Yan Zi was having an affair with this guy named Tang. He has to pay back this debt. I think it'll cost at least one million."

"Pfft, you're so funny. One million is too little. If you asked for 100 million, no one would even frown."

"One hundred million is too much. Ten million, I think we can make this deal."

Zhang Shun's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he shouted, "Hey, what are you talking about? Yingying is my wife, can you please stop being so vulgar?"

Zhang Fu also became a little excited and said, "That's right. We are all family. Money is not a big deal. She was originally Zhang Shun's fiancée. She left without saying goodbye back then, and now she's finally back. This time, no matter what, we can't let her go."

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, this is a brilliant move. If Zhang Shun really marries Yingying, he'll become Tang Xiaobao's brother-in-law. What a relationship! A prosperous and glorious future is a must. It's called keeping the wealth within the family."

"I think this is a mysterious thing. Maybe Yingying is someone else's woman now. Otherwise, would he come with her? I think it all comes down to money. Zhang Fu, if you ask for too much later, don't let us villagers suffer a loss."

"That is, if you want ten million, we can each get ten thousand. Isn't that a lot?"

…

Tang Xiaobao had no idea what these people outside were planning.

After a while, Zhang Fu came in first.

He sat down, gave Tang Xiaobao a cigarette, and then asked Yingying, "Yingying, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you call me? You don't know that after you left, Zhang Shun tried to commit suicide all day long. He was so infatuated with you."

Tang Xiaobao frowned slightly.

What do you mean?

Do you really think Yingying is the daughter-in-law of our Zhang family?

Are you blind or blind in heart? Can't you see that she is my woman?

Yingying blushed and said anxiously, "Brother Fu, please stop talking. I was young back then, and I never admitted to that thing."

Zhang Fu's face changed slightly, and he pretended to be angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? In our village, the rules passed down by the older generation cannot be abolished. You are Zhang Shun's wife for life. Now that you are back, you are not allowed to run away. Zhang Shun was ignorant before, but he is sensible and down-to-earth now. You should live a good life in the future. After sending our mother to the mountains, we will find a good day as soon as possible. If you can get the matter done, it will also bring happiness to our Zhang family."

puff!

Tang Xiaobao was drinking tea when he spat it out in one gulp.

"No, sir, what do you mean by that? Didn't you hear Yingying say anything? She doesn't want to, but you still want to force her to marry you? Is that what you mean?"

He couldn't help it.

Yingying bit her lip and said, "I will not marry him."

"Listen, Yingying has made it clear enough, she doesn't want to get married."

Tang Xiaobao said again.

Zhang Fu was not in a hurry at all. He said, "Mr. Tang, this is our family affair. You don't want to interfere, do you?"

"Hey, I really have to take care of it. I say you don't have to beat around the bush. We came back this time to ask Yingying to show some filial piety to your mother. After all, your family did her a favor back then. I acknowledge that. You can name the conditions, and as long as they're not excessive, I'll definitely agree to them. I'll repay this favor, and from now on, we can go our separate ways and stop bothering her, okay?"

Tang Xiaobao went straight to the point.

Don't you just want some money?

The thing I have the most is money.

But Zhang Fu refused to admit it and said, "Mr. Tang, I know you are very rich, but this is not about money. My brother is very impatient and he is determined to marry Yingying. The people in our village will definitely support this, so -"

"From what you said, this matter is quite troublesome. Did we make a mistake in coming back?" Tang Xiaobao narrowed his eyes.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Let me go and try to persuade my brother first, so he doesn't do anything drastic. This is a poor, remote place. You must have heard the saying, 'Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.' It wouldn't be good if we really made a big deal out of this, right?"

Zhang Fu is threatening.

In a word, no matter how well you do outside.

When he returns to the village, he will follow the local rules. If something really happens, everyone will help the Zhang family.

Tang Xiaobao touched his nose and said, "Why do I feel like you are threatening me?"

"I really don't mean that. How about this? You guys sit down first. I'll go out and discuss this with him to see what to do."

After Zhang Fu finished speaking, he went out directly.
