On the other side, Zhang Laoer went out, thinking about his own thoughts as he walked. He came to a place not far from the entrance of Zhang Guofu's unit and found a place to lean against the wall.

He just waited from a distance until Zhang Guofu and his colleagues came out, watched him say goodbye to his colleagues with a smile, and watched him greet acquaintances.

Following behind his brother, Zhang Laoer felt that his brother was at a disadvantage and was wronged... Look, even when he was almost at the door of the house, he would hesitate and turn around to go to his parents.

If you have a good wife at home, who wouldn't want to live a life with a warm bed and a wife? Why would you run to my mother's house in such a cold weather?

"Zhang Guoqiang."

Zhang Laoer looked back and saw Huang Yaoguo, the second son of the Huang family, pushing a 28-bar not far behind him. He didn't know if he had followed him all the way here, or if he had come to ask his eldest brother for an explanation.

But this is none of my business?

He didn't care, glanced at the other person, nodded, and was about to turn and leave.

Huang Yaoguo took a few quick steps and said, "Wait, I have something to talk to you about."

Zhang Laoer stopped and looked at him with narrowed eyes without saying a word.

"How about I buy you a drink?"

Zhang Laoer hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He wanted to see what his brother-in-law had to say!

"Come on up, I'll give you a ride."

Over there, Zhang Guofu always felt that someone seemed to call his second brother's name. He came to his senses and turned around to look. The distance was a bit far and he couldn't see clearly, but he always felt that the figure was very familiar.

Huang Yaoguo took Zhang Laoer back home directly.

After entering the yard and passing by the outer room, Zhang Laoer naturally caught a glimpse of Huang Cuilan and her second sister-in-law. He ignored them and followed Huang Yaoguo into the east room.

There was a kang table on the kang in the east room. Looking at the four dishes and two bottles of wine, it was estimated that he had originally wanted to find his elder brother, but changed his mind for some reason.

"Come on, come on, don't be polite, let's have a drink."

Zhang Laoer thought to himself: "I'm being polite to you! Your sister has been causing trouble for my brother for so long, who knows how much she has taken back to her parents' home."

He picked up the cup, clinked it with Huang Yaoguo's, and drank it in one gulp.

The two of them seemed to have agreed on this: if you don't speak, I won't speak either. They drank glass after glass, ate bite after bite, but no one spoke.

Finished a bottle of wine...

Huang Yaoguo started to speak, "Time flies by so fast, we are all getting old."

"You are old, and I am very young."

"Look at you, your temper hasn't changed after all these years. What, do you have a problem with me?"

Zhang Lao Er smiled and shook his head. There were too many to list in a short while. I guess if I could really tell them all, I would have to fight first!

"You, you..." Huang Yaoguo looked at him while picking up some food. "I was originally thinking of asking your eldest brother, my brother-in-law, to come over. As a couple at such an old age, there's nothing wrong with talking. Why do you have to make a fuss? Don't you think so?"

Zhang Laoer glanced at him sideways, "Stop talking nonsense. What's the point of making a fuss? You should ask your sister. Don't you know what kind of person my brother is? Will he make a fuss for no reason?"

Huang Yaoguo sighed, "As a couple, living under the same roof, there's always going to be some bickering. But sending her back to her parents' home is a bit too much, don't you think?"

Zhang Laoer laughed and nudged him with his chopsticks. "Stop putting the blame on my brother. What do you mean by sending her back to her parents' home? Is there anything wrong with a daughter serving her mother?"

Huang Yaoguo rolled his eyes at him and said, "You really can lie with your eyes open."

Zhang Laoer glanced at him and lowered his head to eat his food. Damn it, look at his parents, they always said that life was hard in his mother's family, now they have meat and wine, and it's still not easy?

"I can see that not only my brother-in-law, but you too are very dissatisfied with her. Tell me what she did wrong, and I, as her brother, will apologize on her behalf."

Zhang Lao Er looked up at him with a half-smile, "How could you not know?"

Huang Yaoguo's heart skipped a beat. "I really don't know what she did wrong. She married into your Zhang family and has been with you through thick and thin. Now that life is good, she hasn't been unfilial to her parents-in-law. She's devoted to her husband, not to mention the children, right?"

"Didn't she tell you what she did before she went back to her parents' home that day?"

Huang Yaoguo paused when he heard this. He didn't believe that Xizi and his two brothers would tell their family the truth. Otherwise, the Zhang family's mother-in-law would not be easy to talk to and she would have come to make trouble long ago.

"You tell me, I really don't know."

"I don't want to say it, because it hurts my feelings. But you know one thing in your heart: my brother and my parents have done their best for your sister."

"I agree with this. My in-laws and brother-in-law are both kind people. Since we've invited you here today, let's be frank. Don't say anything that might hurt feelings. There may be misunderstandings, so just talk it out."

"Really? You should know that I'm not as reserved as my brother, nor do I like to save face as much as my younger brother. You really want to hear it? I'm fucking furious."

Huang Yaoguo wasn't really afraid of you saying anything. If you did, his temper would subside, and he'd know what you were thinking. He smiled and said, "Go ahead. I never thought my sister was that capable."

Zhang Laoer sneered twice, "She's quite capable. To tell you the truth, I was even planning to ask my brother to divorce me. Just imagine if there was such a thing..."

"You dare?"

Zhang Laoer glanced coldly at the intruding Huang Cuilan and gave Huang Yaoguo a meaningful smile. Is that his character? A misunderstanding? Just talk it out? Are you sure?!

Huang Yaoguo's wife desperately pulled her out, but Huang Cuilan refused. She glared at him, "Zhang Laoer, how have I ever let you down?"

"You don't know what's going on?"

Huang Yaoguo immediately scolded: "Okay, Xiaolan, who let you in? Do you think divorce is that simple? I, your brother, am not dead yet."

How could Zhang Laoer not understand the meaning of his words?

But who is he? Would Zhang Laoer be afraid of a threat from Huang Yaoguo? As long as his eldest brother speaks, even if the whole Huang family comes, what will happen? You really bully my Zhang family because we have no one!

Hearing this, he sneered at Huang Cuilan and slammed the table. "Don't you believe it! If I were to find a way to get my brother to divorce his wife, no one would say he was wrong. I can't stand you anymore. Tell me, what gives you the right to sow discord between my brothers? What gives you the right?"

"Should I settle all the accounts with you? I won't settle the current accounts for now, but let's talk about that time in 1960. Why did you steal all my brother's rations and cause him to almost starve to death?"

"I didn't know it at first, otherwise I would have let you stay with my brother and continue to harm him? Even after that, he forgave you. Have you changed?"

"Are you going to keep saying that Xizi and his two brothers were raised in your mother's house? Do you think I'm stupid? During those years when the family didn't split up, my parents were afraid Juhua would make a fuss, so they secretly carried so much fine grain to your house. And when didn't Xiaowu bring you meat every three or five days?"

"I've always had a bad impression of you, but does Xiaowu owe you something? The three Ping'an brothers rushed back in the middle of winter to attend Xizi's wedding. What the hell are you doing? You're so sullen! They owe you something!"

"After Xiao Zuo gets married, you're still complaining about my brother and his family not coming back. Who the hell is so stupid as to want to be treated so harshly? Isn't this what you, as a wife, should do?"

"Every time my brother and I close the door to talk about something, you rush over here. What's the matter? Can't we just talk about something? Is this the way your family is taught?"

"You're incompetent, always suspicious and sneaking around outside my brother's workplace. If my brother wants to have a woman outside, can you really control him? Because of you, he's refused transfers to the provincial capital three or four times in the past ten years. He's afraid of losing face there."

"I've never seen a woman as stupid as you. You're so shallow and clueless, yet you're trying to manipulate my brother. Are you worthy enough?"

"Second brother! Stop talking and follow me!"
