Chapter 1424 Envy

Zhang Xingguo laughed heartily. "I, Zhang Xingguo, have spent the first half of my life in the hail of bullets, and all my good fortune will come in the second half."

Yang Yongjian nodded in agreement, “Yes, you are the luckiest person. Although you only have one son, Shouyi, he is successful, and his grandson is even more successful.”

At this moment, Ganlu led in three in-laws. This made things even more lively.

They were at work all morning, and only found out their daughter was going into labor when they got home at noon. They hurriedly ate lunch and rode their bikes over.

The three of them hadn't made any arrangements, but they all received their gifts one after the other.

Zhang Shouyi got up to greet the three. Qin Dongjin, Tang Shixian, and Zou Jingrui were a little uncomfortable, but when Zhang Shouyi shared the good news with them, they couldn't stop smiling after learning that they had a grandson.

The three grown men stood around the crib, looking at the little child lying inside, and thought how adorable he was.

The sound of a child crying came again, and this time everyone went outside, except for Gu Chuanming, who stayed behind to protect the heir of the Gu family.

After waiting a few minutes, the doors opened, and the doctor came out carrying the baby.

"Congratulations, Madam. The Fourth Young Madam has given birth to a son for her second child. He weighs 4.8 pounds and is in good health."

Zhang Hongmei paused for a moment, but still happily took the child.

How is Haiyin?

"Madam, the Fourth Young Mistress is in good health. The placenta was expelled when she was cleaning up the baby just now."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's our duty. I'm going in to help tidy up."

The group followed Zhang Hongmei back to the living room. Only Zhang Shouyi went to the study.

Zhang Hongmei sat down next to Gu Chuanming and said, "Grandpa, it's a boy."

Gu Chuanming laughed heartily. This time he had gotten himself into trouble. The little one in Zhang Hongmei's arms immediately started crying loudly.

"Hahaha, that's a really loud cry, that's the kind of person from the Gu family."

Zhang Hongmei quickly patted the child a few times, gently coaxing him. After a short while, the child stopped crying.

Zhang Hongmei carefully fed him water. This boy was the lightest, but he drank water just as fast as his older brothers.

After I finished feeding him, I noticed that his furrowed brows had smoothed out.

Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi exchanged a glance. This guy had a temper that was anything but ordinary; even the most delicate Xiao Qi wasn't like this.

Zou Jingrui and Zhou Yuling were the happiest couple. Coming from traditional families, they naturally hoped for many children and blessings. How could they not be happy that their daughter had given birth to two sons?

Although I noticed my mother-in-law's stiffness earlier, with two sons, my daughter has truly established herself.

The couple looked at their two grandsons lying side by side on the two beds, their faces filled with undisguised pride and joy.

Zhang Shouyi sat down next to Zhang Hongmei and patted his daughter-in-law's hand, "There's still the next baby to come. We'll be done when our granddaughter is born."

The four families of in-laws in the living room were stunned. This couple really longed for their granddaughter.

In just half a day, the Zhang family gained five more children, which was an incredibly joyous occasion.

The doctors came and took the twins away, and the in-laws happily discussed the children in the living room.

"Hongmei, we must have a grand celebration for the third-day celebration," Gu Chuanming announced.

“Grandpa, this is not a good idea to have such a big celebration. How about we do it like Zhenye and the others did when they got married?” Zhang Shouyi comforted the old man.

"Why not?" Gu Chuanming's eyebrows shot up.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. What about the big event you mentioned? How about this, our company will pay for a scholarship of two yuan for each student in all the schools? Do you think that's okay?" Zhang Hongmei quickly comforted the old man.

"So you're not going to hold a wedding banquet?" Gu Chuanming asked, still frowning, his tone unpleasant.

"Let's do it! Invite all our relatives and friends!"

Grandpa, let's invite all your men over here.

Although Gu Chuanming was not satisfied, he knew that this was the only way. In fact, the old man wanted to hold a big party and invite everyone to drink, but he knew that was not realistic.

"Okay, that's settled then. Go and make the arrangements. Give scholarships to all students, make sure no one is left out."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll call Wang Ying right away and have her get started on this. I guarantee there won't be any mistakes. It covers elementary, middle, and high school."

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

Zhang Hongmei said many things to coax the old woman until she finally smiled. Only then did she go and call Wang Ying.

"Hongmei, congratulations! I'm coming right now. Wait for me to get there before we talk."

"Alright, bring two secretaries with you. This is no small matter."

"Okay, okay, wait for me."

Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone and then called Liu Jingze.

"Brother Jingze, Lijun and the others gave birth today. They have five grandsons."

Liu Jingze leaned back with the microphone in his hand and said, "Hongmei, congratulations."

"Hehe, thank you. I've asked Ganlu to send someone to pick up my uncle and aunt."

"Okay, I'll go over after get off work."

Zhang Hongmei called Hu Aifen again, "Auntie, Zhenye's wife and the others gave birth today. I have five grandsons. I'll send someone to pick you and my uncle up right away."

"Okay, okay, hurry up! Why didn't you call me earlier?" Hu Aifen scolded Zhang Hongmei.

"Auntie, I was just worried that you would get anxious and upset. You wait here, the driver should be here soon, and I'll let my third aunt know."

Upon receiving the news, Li Cuihua excitedly called out to Liu Maocai, but before Zhang Hongmei could finish speaking, the phone was disconnected. This must have made her even happier.

Afterwards, the three families also called home, where the elderly were still waiting.

"My dear in-laws, just send someone to pick up the old man directly," Zhang Shouyi said with a smile.

"That's wonderful! The old man will be happy to see the children."

After making all the calls, Gu Chuanming sat down by the phone again and called Kong Mingde, He Chuanyong, and Zhao Changlong.

His triumphant laughter made everyone in the living room realize that the old leader was truly overjoyed.

The three mothers-in-law sat for a while before going to the delivery room, which was also the room for postpartum care. Zhang Hongmei had arranged it to be exceptionally comfortable, leaving no room for complaint.

Zhenye and his three sisters-in-law stayed with their wives, watching them eat and drink soup. Each of them had two nannies, all of whom were professionally trained and very experienced with new mothers and babies. So the four sisters-in-law were very worry-free; all they had to do was feed the babies.

"Zhenye, why don't you go eat?"

Zhang Zhenye shook his head, "I'm not hungry, so you don't need to worry about me. As long as you're okay, I'm willing to go without eating."

"Heh, you can actually say something like that?"
