For the next three days, Zhang Shicheng entered the house with a gloomy face. On this day, when he entered the inner house, he found that there were fewer servants and the surroundings were in a mess.
"What are you doing? This doesn't look like a home at all." Zhang Shicheng asked his busy wife.
"We're leaving in five days, aren't we? I heard there's a limit on the amount of luggage we can take on board, so that's why they were asked to pick out the unimportant items."
Meng Yu knew why Zhang Shicheng's face was dark, so he pretended to be concerned and asked:
"But have you bought the tickets?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Shicheng's face turned even darker. He had used all the connections he could use in the past few days and had run around a lot, but he still couldn't get the two tickets!
Is it really necessary to leave Meng Niang and her daughter here? He is worried!
Meng Yu smiled and walked over to him, pouring him a cup of tea to comfort him:
"We're just out, it's not like we haven't been in touch with our relatives and friends here. We asked them to take better care of Meng Niang.
At the same time, we can also ask someone to buy tickets for the next ferry, and then let them go out and reunite with us. What do you think?"
Zhang Shicheng was tempted at the moment, but then he frowned. It was possible, but how could he say it out loud?
I always feel that as a man, he feels guilty for abandoning Meng Niang like this.
So I can’t say it.
Seeing that he was silent, Meng Yu's expression suddenly changed and he said:
"Don't think about waiting for the next boat to go out with them. If you don't go out, mother won't go with us, and your daughters won't be worried about you."
Meng Yu provoked him, "You have seen the current situation. The He family has already ordered a raid today. Who can be sure whether the Zhang family will be next?
Besides, I'm worried about you being here alone. If you have such an idea, you'd better stop it as soon as possible, otherwise the whole family will be waiting for you and the mother and daughter.
When the time comes, we'll wait for those people to arrive, and then we'll all die together as a family."
He knew about the He family's affairs. Not only did he know, he also saw it with his own eyes today.
The old lady of the He family hit her head against the stone pillar in front of the door. No one knew whether she was dead or not, but those people were indifferent.
My house was still ransacked.
Zhang Shicheng shuddered as he recalled what happened during the day, and immediately picked up the tea beside him and drank it all.
It is generally not possible to buy tickets for this ferry, only the next one.
"Have you sold the shop? Have you withdrawn the money you deposited in the bank in China? Please pack your luggage as soon as possible." Zhang Shicheng asked nervously.
The shop had been idle for a long time. The Meng family had many connections, so Zhang Shicheng asked his wife to use her connections to sell the shop as soon as possible.
He was busy these days, so he asked his wife to withdraw the money he had deposited in the bank.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Meng Yu felt relieved and said with a smile:
"The shop was sold. The three cloth shops and five stores were sold for 300,000. You had 200,000 in the bank. I had someone exchange it all for gold bars."
Meng Yu stood up and said, "I'll get it for you right away."
Zhang Shicheng quickly held her down and said, "Don't worry, leave it with you first. You can give it to me when we get out."
He was absent-minded, thinking about how to bring this up with Meng Niang without hurting her feelings.
Meng Yu had been married to him for over twenty years, so how could she not know what Zhang Shicheng was thinking? She pretended to be indifferent and said:
"You should talk to Meng Niang about the matter of us taking Duobao out first. I'm afraid Meng Niang, as a mother, won't agree."
Zhang Shicheng trembled at the moment and almost forgot that Duobao had gone out with them. How could he tell Meng Niang about this?
Meng Yu glanced at him and said, "Grandma loves Duobao so much, she would rather let something happen to her than let anything happen to Duobao."
Immediately, Zhang Shicheng thought of something, stood up, gave an order and went out.
When Meng Yu got outside the door, he heard Zhang Shicheng ask the housekeeper, "Where is the old lady?"
When he learned that the old lady was at Meng Niang's place, he turned and left.
The house he bought for Meng Niang was right next to it, and there was a door between the two houses. This door made it convenient for the old lady to visit her grandson, and also for him to come in and out.
When Zhang Shicheng arrived, Mengniang was serving dinner to the old lady.
There were servants in the house, and the old lady herself was as strong as a bull.
Her action was to treat Meng Niang as a servant. Zhang Shicheng was so angry that he stepped forward and pulled Meng Niang to sit down, and said to the old lady seriously:
"What are you doing? This is a new society now. If outsiders see this, they will make up stories about our family."
The old lady was very confident.
"We'll eat behind closed doors. Who would know what's going on at our house?" She glanced at Meng Niang and added, "Unless someone goes out and tells us, who would know?"
Zhang Shicheng said, "Who can Mengniang talk to if she doesn't even step out of the door?"
The old lady stiffened her neck and said, "What's wrong with me asking her to serve for a while? In other families, concubines serve their mothers-in-law. Besides, we haven't even eaten yet."
Zhang Shicheng thought to himself: I am just a peasant from the countryside, and I have only been in the city for a few days but I have become so arrogant.
He was angry but dared not say anything because he had something to ask the old lady.
"Whether you are a concubine or not, if others know about it, your son will still be alive?" Zhang Shicheng said dejectedly.
Lin Nanfeng thought to himself: Original owner, you also know that you are afraid of death.
The old lady immediately shut her mouth and dared not shout loudly.
She doesn't go out often, but she knows what the situation is like outside.
Although the Zhang family told others that Meng Niang was free, anyone with eyes knew what was going on.
Without further ado, it was Meng Niang who broke the awkwardness between the mother and son.
Zhang Shicheng was preoccupied at the dinner table and put down his chopsticks after taking two bites.
Seeing that the old lady was about to leave after drinking her tea, he chewed his words over several times before telling Meng Niang about what had happened in the past few days.
"Tickets are hard to come by these days, but don't worry, Mengniang. Let's go out first. I'll come back to pick you up after I buy the tickets here. I promise I won't abandon you. Don't you still trust your husband?"
Lin Nanfeng thought to herself: It's finally here. She didn't know how Zhang Shicheng coaxed her mother in her previous life, but the result was already decided.
Meng Niang was stunned.
There was a lot of noise in the house over there these days, and she felt that something had happened. Zhang Shicheng didn't mention it to her so she didn't ask, but she didn't expect that they were going abroad.
Going abroad seemed like a dream to Mengniang, a very distant thing.
Because she seldom even went out of the main door, and even when she did, the old lady would send someone to follow her, so she gradually became unwilling to go out.
At the moment she didn't know how to answer, and said woodenly:
"Of course I trust you."
Lin Mengniang has never said whether she believed in Zhang Shicheng or not, but since you asked me this, I just answered you.
Zhang Shicheng heaved a sigh of relief, his joy evident in his words, but suddenly his heart ached again, and he said:
"We've also bought Duobao's ticket. He went out with us first because we were worried that it would be hard to buy tickets later. So, if we can get as many tickets as possible now, we'll get as many as we can!"
Zhang Shicheng quickly raised his hand and assured, "Don't worry, mother is here. She will definitely protect our son."
For some reason, Meng Niang's heart skipped a beat and her face suddenly turned ugly. She didn't say anything, but shook her head vigorously in protest.
