Zhang Guoqing, a 21st-century orphan, and his pregnant wife, Zhou Jiao, were working hard for their future when a massive inheritance suddenly fell into their laps. On their way to the hospital for...
"Just think of it as putting my mind at ease. Also, your uncle has already bought a house for you, but I don't know if he has found a housekeeper yet. You can go there and take care of it yourself. If it's not suitable, just fire him. Don't be embarrassed."
"OK."
"Don't think I'm nagging your mother. This time I'm going abroad. I'm really old now, so I probably won't be able to help but say it a few more times."
"Mom, you're not old. If you meet someone you don't know when you go out, everyone will say we're siblings. Just wait, when your son goes abroad, he'll send you any beauty products he sees."
"Don't waste your money. Your mother and I are quite skilled in making medicine. Don't be curious when you're out and about, and try to avoid any trouble. If the embassy doesn't work, call your uncle."
Once you get to the place and familiarize yourself with it, hire a few more bodyguards as soon as possible. You should have a general understanding of our family's financial situation.
I don't plan to tell you three brothers how much money Mom has in private. But one thing you must remember, son, is that our family is truly not short of money. Don't have any random thoughts about trying to work or going to the casino to experience it all.
Wuyi showed no impatience towards his mother's advice. He put his arm around his mother's shoulders with a smile and did not refute her. He said that he was able to support himself.
This is the only thing he can do as a son to make her feel at ease.
How dare he complain about his mother being nagging?
The cool breeze of the summer night blew by, and his mother's words rang in his ears, warming his heart and even making him not want to leave.
But the three brothers still have to walk the path they must walk, so that they will not be in vain for the teachings of their elders since childhood, and they will not be in vain for making their mother proud as soon as possible.
Compared to the ambitions I'd set since childhood, any childish romance seemed insignificant. Xiaojiu? Then I'd just treat her like my niece for now.
His grandfather had a saying that the three brothers kept in mind: If you want to be successful, you have to understand what you should do at what age.
He is only twenty years old. At his age, in order to have a broader life in the future, he has no choice but to enrich himself and study.
He learned the strengths of his elders and made up for his own shortcomings. With enough merit, he, Zhou Zihe, would one day get everything he wanted.
In the front yard, Zhang Guoqing was accompanying his parents in the bedroom, showing the loving mother and filial son.
The old couple was able to see the next generation today, and there was inevitable laughter around them, especially when they saw Mai Sui and heard her talk privately about helping to screen the candidates.
What Zhang's mother was saying at this moment was that the "difficult child" in their family could finally get married!
Zhang Guoqing understands very well the feelings his parents have for their granddaughter.
It can be said that the three sisters Mai Miao spent the longest time with the old couple, especially Mai Sui. When she was young, her second brother and sister-in-law ignored her, so she was raised by her grandparents.
The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is naturally different.
Now the eldest, Mai Miao, is married and living a happy life. As for the youngest, Mai Qing, who is still not old enough, it is the wheat ears that make them worry.
"I don't know what the man is like. This girl is very stubborn and has her own ideas. Once your second brother receives her letter, will he know what he will say?"
Zhang Guoqing looked at his mother and responded with amusement: "What do you mean?"
"Finally, she can get married." As she said this, Zhang's mother burst into laughter.
Father Zhang shook his head speechlessly and looked at his eldest son. "Have they met the man on Wuyi? Have they told you about his situation?"
Zhang Guoqing was stunned when he heard this. "Dad, you know what? I heard Wuyi mention it two years ago that someone was interested in his second sister. But then I saw there was no movement, so I really didn't ask about it."
"So early? This girl is really good at hiding." Father Zhang laughed and shook his head, "Shitou knows. I heard that the man is from another place, but he works in Beijing now."
"It doesn't matter where the guy is, as long as she likes him, it's fine. It's better for him to get married soon. Her eldest sister's son is about to get married. If she doesn't find a wife now, she won't even be able to have children."
After hearing what Zhang's mother said, Zhang Guoqing and his son burst into laughter.
Although neither Zhang's father nor Zhang's mother thinks that their granddaughter can't find a good partner, she is old after all.
They can't wait for her to get married by the end of the year and give birth to a fat boy next year.
"Are you free these two days to help your second brother take a look at the man first?"
Zhang Guoqing flatly refused, "Mom, as long as the child likes it. Mai Sui is not a little girl. As you said, she has her own ideas."
As he spoke, he looked at his parents awkwardly, "Besides, what will I, as an uncle, say? If it's good, I'll be fine in the future. If it's not good, my second sister-in-law will definitely blame me for being nosy."
"She dares?"
"It's not a question of whether she dares or not. If she harbors resentment, it would be a shame to drive us two brothers apart. Besides, as you can see, I'm so busy I don't even have time for you two. Also, I have to bring security with me when I go out now, so it wouldn't be appropriate to make a big show of it."
Zhang Guoqing looked at their expressions and without waiting for their reply, he continued, "Also, I asked you to come here not just to go abroad on May Day, but also to bring your partner to my house tomorrow."
"Really? Ping An has a partner? Where?"
Seeing his parents' attention diverted, Zhang Guoqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to disappoint them, but he was not so idle that he would look at his nephew's husband.
"Dad, do you still remember Old Man Qu from the compound? He's the old man who always carries the black purple clay teapot. He's the eldest daughter of his family."
Father Zhang regained consciousness and shook his head. "I can't remember, but it seems like there was someone there."
"If you can't remember, forget it. Xiaowu, did you grow up with us Ping'an?"
"That's right. Mother, you might have seen her. When Ping'an was five or six years old, there was always a chubby little girl around him. It was her."
It wasn't Zhang's father, and Zhang's mother couldn't remember it either. "That's fine, he'll be strong and have children."
Zhang Guoqing was immediately delighted. "Mom, girls change a lot when they grow up. Now she's almost as thin as Jiaojiao. But who says that strong girls can give birth to children? Didn't your daughter-in-law give birth to three children?"
"Don't listen to your mother. We have family planning now, so you can only have one child."
"Alas, this policy is not good at all. Why doesn't your father-in-law object to it?" Before Zhang's mother could finish her words, her husband glared at her and slapped her.
What does it matter if we talk about it here?
"Xiao Wu, what if Ping An marries a wife and has a girl? Mom isn't biased towards boys, but we still have to carry on the family line, right?"
Zhang Guoqing actually heard his three sons joke, "Mom, don't worry. The three brothers have agreed that if any of their daughters doesn't want a live-in son-in-law, they will adopt one."
"Just fooling around." Although they said that, the old couple were smiling widely and you could tell how happy they were.
Zhang Guoqing disagreed. Who can guarantee that there will be many descendants from generation to generation? When a person dies, everything is over, and the descendants will probably forget their ancestors.
Just make the two elders happy.
