"Who is this? She's so pretty!"
Zhang Mengzhi asked deliberately.
"Son, am I not the same as before?"
Mother Zhang walked in fashionably dressed, but was startled when her son asked her who she was.
"So she's my mother! No wonder she's so beautiful."
Zhang Mengzhi acted as if something suddenly dawned on him.
“You, you!”
At this time, Mother Zhang could tell that her son was teasing her on purpose, so she reached out and tapped his forehead.
"Compared with Mengzhi, the other men in the Zhang family seem so dull." Zhou Guilan looked at her long skirt and touched her smooth face. She couldn't believe that she would have the day to dress herself up.
"Grandma, my dad is actually okay. Although he is not very good at speaking, his actions are still very powerful."
Zhang Mengzhi defended his father.
"Yes, if he hadn't shown some action, he wouldn't have been able to marry your mother."
Zhou Guilan burst out laughing after hearing this.
Deyun is much better than her ex-husband. At least he did not abandon his wife. Of course, the more important point is that Deyun only has his wife in his heart and no one else.
General Zhang is different, so now she has no home to return to.
"Zhou Guilan's phone call."
Someone shouted outside.
“Here I come.”
When Zhang's mother heard this, she quickly took her to her husband's factory to answer the phone.
Zhang's father's factory manager is a person who understands economics very well and is also good at increasing revenue. Just the people who come to the factory to make phone calls every day can provide the factory with 20 to 30 yuan of phone bills.
It may not seem like much, but it’s still several hundred yuan a month! At the end of each month, I buy some meat for the factory employees as a snack, and the money comes from this.
Compared to those factories that can barely pay their employees' salaries, the employees in their factory don't have this worry.
"Is it Second Dad or Grandpa calling?"
Zhang Mengzhi asked after they came back.
"Your second father called to ask how Auntie's health is recovering? Can she take a long-distance train to the capital?"
"How did the old lady answer?"
Zhang Mengzhi looked at Zhou Guilan.
What else can I say? Of course I won’t go.
"I'm living well in my hometown. I don't plan to go to the capital for the time being."
Zhou Guilan said without hesitation.
She is busy making money now and has no time to go to the capital. Zhang Jiaojun is also in the capital. If she goes there, she will always run into him, which will be detrimental to her health recovery.
"Grandma, is that your answer?"
Zhang Mengzhi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth after hearing her words.
No wonder people in later generations often say that their grandparents were at the age of working hard and making breakthroughs, and that they are more energetic than young people.
"What else? Do I have to ask them to take me to the capital?"
Zhou Guilan's words stopped Zhang Mengzhi from saying anything else.
Yes, the eldest wife had savings and could pay for whatever she wanted to buy when she arrived in the capital. She didn't need to ask her son for money, and she didn't want to cause a quarrel between her son and his wife.
So why should we bother to be disliked? It is said that things smell good from a distance, but smell bad when near. Zhou Guilan understands this principle.
"Haha, Grandma did the right thing."
Zhang Mengzhi didn't know what to say except to praise him.
The old lady is full of energy now. She is concentrating on making money and doesn't think about anything else. My second uncle and his family want to bring people back to the capital, so it seems that they have to keep working hard.
Anyone can persuade you, just don't look for him.
Knock knock.
In order to reward Zhang's mother and eldest mother-in-law for their hard work in setting up the stall, Zhang Mengzhi went to the market when he was not in school and bought a hen to make soup.
Hens are raised longer and their bones are harder than those of chicks, so the sound of chopping chicken bones can be heard in the Zhang family’s yard.
"Mom, where do you put the dried mushrooms?"
Zhang Mengzhi couldn't find the dried mushrooms that were only eaten during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
"No more, just use whatever you want to stew it with!"
Mother Zhang answered loudly in the yard. She and Zhou Guilan were digging sweet potatoes. They didn't plant too many at home, just a small plot.
However, there are so many sweet potatoes that even a small piece can fill a whole basket.
"oh."
Zhang Mengzhi realized that he had no dried mushrooms left, so he could only stew the chicken with medicinal herbs.
The tonics were the common ones. I bought them only after asking the doctor and being told that my wife could take them. However, without the mushrooms, the taste was not mellow enough.
Even so, the chicken soup tasted very good, because most of the tonics in it were beneficial to women, so Zhang Mengzhi and Zhang's father drank a small bowl symbolically, and the rest of the big pot was given to the women and children in the family.
"bitter."
Xiaoshuang ate angelica, which had a strong medicinal smell. It was okay if she didn't eat it and just drank the soup, but it didn't taste very good when she ate it.
"I won't eat the bitter food."
Mother Zhang put the angelica root into her own bowl. Her two grandchildren were well-fed and plump, so they didn’t need this little tonic.
"Uncle, I'm done eating."
The little girl showed the bowl to her uncle.
"Then go play with your brother!"
Zhang Mengzhi was sitting on the side peeling garlic, and he would answer whenever his little niece called him.
"Brother, take me to play."
Xiaoshuang ran to find Xiaoyu to play kicking the ball together.
Looking at the only two children in the family, all the elders were happy.
"I don't like it either, why do you have to make me eat it?"
Zhang Mengyu was unhappy.
"You are in the period of growth. Eating this angelica is good for girls. Eat it quickly and don't talk too much."
Mother Zhang glared at her daughter and said that if she dared to waste the chicken soup that her son had worked so hard to make for them, she would break Zhang Mengyu's legs.
"snort."
Zhang Mengyu ate angelica angrily and didn't dare to argue with her mother at all.
The father and son didn't even dare to raise their heads, they just concentrated on peeling garlic.
"Mengzhi, the seasonings at home are almost used up. Go back and buy some."
Mother Zhang suddenly remembered something and told her son about it.
"Okay, I'll find time to buy it."
Zhang Mengzhi nodded. He picked all the seasonings at home. There was nothing he could do. He was the only one who could pick! After all, it was a dish, so the seasonings were indispensable, and inferior ones were not allowed.
The result of selling inferior products as good ones is that the taste is very different, so Zhang Mengzhi cannot let others buy them and has to choose them himself.
Whether in this life or the previous one, Zhang Mengzhi has a very good sense of taste and smell. Maybe he was born to eat this kind of food!
When choosing ingredients, he doesn't even need to taste them, he can tell whether they are good or not just by looking at the surface or smelling them. Of course, there are some special ingredients that must be tasted, but such ingredients are relatively rare.
"Zhang Mengzhi, why do you run away as soon as get out of class is over every day? What are you doing?"
As usual, Zhang Mengzhi was stopped by his classmates when he was about to leave after class.
"Xue-san, what's going on?"
This was the first time they heard the surname Xue in their city.
"Ahem, I just wanted to ask if you are free this weekend so we can go to the movies."
Xueyu didn't dare look at Zhang Mengzhi when she said this, and her face was as red as an apple. When she called Zhang Mengzhi, the classmates in the class secretly looked at the two of them.
"No time, I need to go home to help."
Zhang Mengzhi answered without thinking, ignoring the other person's face that turned pale in an instant.
“…”
His ruthless rejection made Xueyu's face turn pale in an instant.
"Then I won't bother you anymore."
Xueyu stepped aside with a pale face and watched Zhang Mengzhi leave.
"Xiao Yu'er, we told you that Zhang Mengzhi is a piece of iron wood. It's useless for you to like him."
The girl in the same dormitory came over quietly to comfort her, and in order not to embarrass her, the other students pretended not to have seen what had just happened.
"I thought he wouldn't say no."
Xueyu knew that she was pretty since she was a child, and boys usually approached her. The first time she asked a boy out for a date, she unexpectedly got rejected.
"Zhang Mengzhi is just a piece of wood. You are neither the first nor the last."
The female squad leader said to her as she passed by.
"What..."
Xueyu's roommates looked at each other in confusion. No one understood why the female monitor said that.
"He and I have been in the same class since we were young. Zhang Mengzhi is good-looking, has good grades, and comes from a decent family. Do you think no one has liked him since he was a child? It's just that he rejected all the girls who confessed their love to him."
The female monitor looked back at them, with no expression of watching a drama or sympathy on her face, she was just stating a fact.
"Humph, that unromantic blockhead, he will be single for the rest of his life!"
Xueyu's roommate spoke up for her friend.
"That's too much. Zhang Mengzhi didn't do anything to Xue. He was just rejecting her normally, okay?"
Some classmates spoke up for Zhang Mengzhi and even thought that what Zhang Mengzhi did was very good.
Since you don’t like Xue Yu, the best way is to reject her directly. Otherwise, if you give her hope and then tell her you don’t like her, that would be very hurtful!
"I was wrong, don't say that about him."
Xueyu is a very sensible girl. Just because she likes Zhang Mengzhi doesn’t mean that he must like her.
So although she was a little upset at first because of the rejection, she soon got over her mood with the comfort of her friends.
She was not someone who could not let go, so she began to persuade her friends.
"You are just too honest."
Xueyu's friends still favored her after all, but they didn't say anything more.
Most of the people who were admitted to university at this time were adults, so everyone tacitly buried what had just happened so as not to cause trouble for Xue Yu and Zhang Mengzhi.
You have to know that it has only been seven or eight years, and only two years have passed since the villain was defeated, so everyone still has some psychological trauma.
He had no idea what happened after Zhang Mengzhi left. He was picking seasonings in the market!
Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers are indispensable. Sichuan peppercorns come in several varieties, and I weighed half a pound of each. The same goes for chili peppers, some spicy and some not, and I also weighed half a pound of each.
In addition, there are some other seasonings. Zhang Mengzhi picked out each one and asked the boss to pack them up.
Because he was an old customer, the boss gave him some cheap seasonings.
Of course, the boss also knew that Zhang Mengzhi was an expert in this field, and even the seasonings he sent were of top quality.
Zhang Mengzhi was carrying a big bag of seasonings home. When he passed by the market, he saw someone selling fish. He picked two and took them home, planning to eat them tonight.
"Young man, do you want to kill some fish?"
The fishmonger brought a lot of fish to sell today. In order to encourage customers to buy more of his fish, he even brought his own knife and chopping board to help with the killing of fish.
"No need, boss. I will kill him."
Zhang Mengzhi smiled and refused. Fish tasted better only when it was freshly killed and cooked. He knew how to kill fish, so he didn't need to bother the boss to do it for him. Only those who didn't know how to kill fish needed the boss's help, and Zhang Mengzhi was obviously not one of them.
"Boss, your fish is almost dead, can you give me a discount?"
Zhang Mengzhi had just paid when an old man came over and said to the fishmonger. He looked at the old man in surprise, then at the water in the basin.
No, it was about to jump out of the basin, and that's dying? You can't lie to that extent, right?
"Uncle, if you think this fish is dying, you don't have to buy it."
The fish shop owner was not a pushover and immediately retorted.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You're selling dying fish, and I'm kind enough to give you a discount, and you're talking to me like that?"
It was obvious that the old man was a scoundrel who wanted to take advantage of the fish owner.
The price of a dying fish is half that of a lively fish. Even a dog wouldn’t want this as a gift.
"I'm just reminding you out of kindness! After all, you said my fish was dying, so why did you buy it?"
The boss was not afraid of him at all and if he said he wouldn't sell it, then he wouldn't sell it.
"Do you know who I am?"
Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, the old man decided to reveal his identity to scare the boss.
"It doesn't matter who you are. What matters is that I'm not afraid of you."
Snap, a fish knife was nailed to the chopping board.
“…”
The old man looked at the fish-killing knife with blood on it and a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
"If you want to cause trouble, I'll accompany you."
The fish boss said firmly.
"Don't leave if you dare. Wait until I come back."
The old man said the classic villain words.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. If you don't come, you're a grandson."
The fish boss answered directly without any fear.
"You wait."
The old man ran away.
"Hey young man, why do you mess with him? He is a scoundrel who can't be shaken off. As long as you do business here, he will find someone to cause trouble for you."
The boss nearby saw this and quickly reminded the fish owner.
"Thank you for your reminder, Auntie. I'm not afraid of him."
The fishmonger thanked the kind-hearted man.
"What are you afraid of? He is fine, but he has a relative named Zhang. He always takes advantage of us by relying on his relative's status in the Zhang family."
The aunt said with a sigh.
Fortunately, everyone is a small business, so the advantage he can take is limited.
"His last name isn't Zhang, why are you afraid of him?"
The fish boss obviously didn't understand why everyone was afraid? After all, the man surnamed Zhang wasn't an old man, he was his relative!
"His last name is not Zhang, but his relatives have the same last name? We are just a small business. The country finally allowed us to open a stall and a store to make money. If we affect our business because we offend the wrong people, it won't be worth it, right?"
The bosses around explained one after another.
"I see. But don't worry, my last name happens to be Zhang, so I'm not afraid of him bringing people to take revenge."
The fish boss said with confidence.
"No wonder you weren't afraid of that scabby dog at the beginning? So your last name is Zhang, Mr. Yu!"
When they heard that the fish boss's surname was Zhang, everyone immediately understood why he was not afraid of the old man.
Zhang Mengzhi originally wanted to stay and help the fish boss, but when he heard his last name was Zhang, he smiled, shook his head and left.
This surname is indeed a talisman in their city, even if the old man's relative's surname is Zhang.
After returning home, Zhang Mengzhi told his mother and first wife about this.
"No matter where you are, there are old uncle shits. There are many people in the Zhang family, so it's normal to have a few."
Zhou Guilan said as if it was a matter of course.
"Yeah, not everyone with the last name Zhang is a good person."
Zhang's mother didn't speak well of the Zhang family either. After all, there are always good and bad people. The same goes for the Zhang family. There must be bad people among them, but the Zhang family is united and will protect you as long as you have the surname Zhang.
"Let my dad go and have a good chat with Uncle Deming and the others. We in the Zhang family are not afraid of people, but we can't have any of our clan members causing trouble."
Zhang Mengzhi couldn't get used to seeing people bullying others by relying on their status as a member of the Zhang family.
It would be fine if the other party's surname was Zhang, but he was just a relative of the Eighth Route Army and dared to bully ordinary people by relying on his identity as a member of the Zhang family. Zhang Mengzhi would certainly not let him go.
So what if he is an old man? He just got old, not a good person turned bad.
Zhang Mengzhi killed the fish she bought and braised one and steamed the other. The braised fish was for everyone, and the steamed one was for Zhou Guilan and the two children.
When Mr. Zhang got home from get off work and was eating, the matter of the fish boss was brought up.
After his son's careful analysis, he showed a rare strong attitude.
"Don't worry, I'll find time to talk to De Ming and the others later."
Father Zhang did not reprimand his son for meddling in other people's business, but agreed with a serious face. It was not easy for the Zhang family to have the status they have today in the city, and he would not allow anyone to destroy it all.
If everyone can no longer live in this city because of these people, then they are all Zhang's sinners.
Zhang Mengzhi didn't ask what the result was, because when he met the old man again, he had lost his initial arrogance and looked like a vegetable without water - almost wilted.
Without a backer, the old man became much more honest when buying vegetables and no longer dared to take advantage of others.
Zhang Mengzhi was very satisfied with the result, and his mood also improved a lot.
In the blink of an eye, winter arrived in Shu Province and everyone started wearing cotton-padded jackets.
"Oh, it's so cold!" Zhang Mengzhi only had two classes in the morning today, so he went home right after class. However, it was too cold outside, and there was a cold wind, so he jumped as soon as he entered the house, but his hands and feet were still cold.
Unlike the north where there is heating in winter, there is no heating in the winter in Shu Province. To resist the cold, the only thing you can do is wear a cotton-padded jacket and keep fit.
"Brother, drink some ginger soup quickly."
Zhang Mengyu took the ginger soup off the stove and handed it to her brother. In this era when medicine was not convenient, the Zhang family never lacked ginger soup in winter.
Sometimes the noodles are cooked with old sour radishes and perilla from the kimchi jar. No oil is added, and there is only a hint of salty kimchi flavor.
Even though there is nothing in it except salt, the noodles are not bad at all. I finish a bowl, tuck myself into bed, and sleep until I sweat.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu. Where are mom and grandma?"
The two of them were not seen at home, and the tricycle was placed at home, so it was obviously not time to set up the stall yet.
"They went to the factory and called my second father and the others."
"I remember now. Mom just told me about it when I left home this morning."
After being reminded by his sister, Zhang Mengyu slapped his forehead and then remembered this matter.
Every Friday is the time I make an appointment with Zhang Deshuang and others by phone. My mother and my eldest mother-in-law are definitely not at home at this time.
"I heard from my eldest wife last time that my second father and eldest uncle gave my cousin a very embarrassing moment during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhang Mengyu told him the whispers she had heard.
"Okay, she is our elder after all, we should give her some face."
Zhang Mengzhi may not know about this, he would stop it only because the other party is an elder. Since they are elders, it is better for them not to gossip about others behind their backs.
However, Zhang Mengzhi stopped his sister from gossiping about Zhang Qunhua, but he failed to stop Zhang Qunhua from hating Zhang Mengzhi's family.
Especially he and his sister, they topped the list of people Zhang Qunhua hates.
Whether Zhang Meng in his hometown knew it or not, everyone in the Zhang family in the capital saw it clearly, and the jealousy in their eyes almost materialized.
And all this was just because she was jealous of Zhang Mengzhi and his sister.
Compared with Zhang Qunhua, Zhang Mengzhi and Zhang Mengyu's academic performance is like the difference between heaven and earth. She failed the exam twice, and General Zhang only allowed her to take it once. If she still failed, she would have to obey General Zhang's orders and get married and have children.
This was unacceptable to Zhang Qunhua. She always thought she was great. Apart from the college entrance examination, she had never suffered such a big loss!
"Mom, is there any way to deal with those guys back home? I hate them so much."
Zhang Qunhua became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, so she went to her mother for advice.
"Don't even think about it. They are very important to your father. If he knew that you were targeting Zhang Deyun's family, he would come back to deal with us."
Xie Yun said without thinking.
If she could do it, she wouldn't have no status in the Zhang family. The mistress of the Zhang family is just a nice title.
"Are we just going to let it go like this? Then wouldn't I have been squeezed for nothing?"
Zhang Qunhua didn't want to give up.
"What else do you want to do? What can you do? Can you be a little self-aware?"
Xie Yun looked at her daughter and said, "They didn't have much money, and they all depended on General Zhang for survival."
She didn't want to be kicked out of the Zhang family, so she could only hold her daughter's hand and persuade her.
She was also wondering who her daughter looked like. If it wasn't for her appearance that showed that she was her daughter, Xie Yun would have suspected that she was switched when she gave birth in the hospital.
Stupid, so stupid.
"Just give up! Don't even think about causing trouble for them. Besides, isn't what Zhang Decheng and Zhang Deshuang said true? Since your grades aren't as good as theirs, you have to accept your fate."
Zhang Xieyun, who had long learned to accept her fate, said.
Seeing that her mother wouldn't help her, Zhang Qunhua finally got angry and ran away.
Zhang Dexiang went upstairs and saw his sister coming out of his mother's room. She paused, then turned on her heel and went to find Xie Yun.
"Mom, what happened to my sister?"
"Son..."
When Xie Yun saw her son, she immediately told him about Zhang Qunhua’s crazy idea.
She really doesn't want to implicate her son for the sake of her daughter!
After knowing his sister's thoughts, Zhang Dexiang wanted to curse. They were both his father's children, so why was his sister so stupid?
Unable to figure it out, Zhang Dexiang could only pay more attention to his sister.
With the help of her son, Xie Yun’s fear was greatly alleviated.
On the contrary, Zhang Qunhua's life was not easy because Xie Yun deducted his pocket money.
Without money, she couldn't buy the things she liked, and without money she couldn't even afford to treat her classmates to snacks.
This was a top priority, so she had no time to think about the people back home. She didn't know that this was Zhang Dexiang's idea for his mother, in order to keep her at home as much as possible and prevent her from going out and causing trouble.
With no one to disturb them at home, Zhang’s malatang business is getting better.
The soup is made from large bones. Many people come to eat it every day, and everyone drinks it up.
Some people even bring bowls and basins to buy them just to cook the soup again.
For regular customers, Mother Zhang doesn't need to greet them, they line up and pay on their own.
"mom."
Zhang Mengzhi came over to help after class. He is a freshman now, and his workload is not as heavy as other grades. However, he borrowed books for the second half of the year and has already started preparing for the semester.
"Son, come and help."
Mother Zhang and Auntie were busy as hell, and when they saw Zhang Mengzhi coming they immediately called for help.
“Here I come.”
Zhang Mengzhi put her schoolbag in the car, and then washed her hands with the water she brought.
Wash the dishes and chopsticks that the eldest mother-in-law collected, so that there will be enough bowls for everyone to eat.
With Zhang Mengzhi's help, everything was sold out in less than an hour today.
"Aunt Zhang, you can prepare a few more dishes. The ingredients are too few."
The old customer didn’t buy it, so he could only urge the boss to prepare more.
"No, the ingredients must be fresh that day."
Mother Zhang refused outright, not giving the other party a chance to speak.
"Don't you want to eat the freshest food? Why do you have to eat food that's been left overnight, or even for several days?"
These words were a sure win.
"No, no, it's fine now."
Everyone said it in tacit understanding.
It has come to this point, and it would be unfair for them to force them. And the Zhang family was also concerned about their health, so the person who said this at the beginning had already covered his face and ran away.
"Damn it, there's really no hook at all!"
The stall owner who wanted to teach the Zhang family a lesson earlier now regrets it!
They didn't dare to look for it, but seeing the Zhang family having fun, they were still very brave. And the person who said this today was not arranged by them, but they just happened to mention it a few times and let the other party hear what they said.
But they didn't believe what the Zhang family said, so they secretly followed the people from the Zhang family who were buying groceries.
"No, there's something wrong with his family, right? Who would buy the best and freshest vegetables to sell? How much more would it cost per month?"
After following him all the way, the stall owner almost became autistic.
If he can't finish buying all the ingredients today, he will continue to use them tomorrow until they are all sold out. After all, it is a small business, so he saves as much as possible.
Compared with the Zhang family's greed, not only do they have no conscience, but some of them even go astray with them.
The ingredients are not fresh and people will suffer from diarrhea and other symptoms after eating them. The people whose products are bought know this and none of them can escape.
Under Zhang Mengzhi's constant reminders, the Zhang family dared not buy any bad ingredients.
Meng Zhi said that if the ingredients are not fresh and people eat them, they will have to pay compensation. Instead of deducting the small amount of money for purchasing ingredients and then spending more money, it is better to prevent such things from happening in the first place.
It’s okay to set up a stall now, but when we open a store later, the products will be delivered directly to the store, and it will be more important to check whether the ingredients are qualified.
So the purpose of setting up stalls now is to gain experience for the Zhang family.
When Zhang Mengzhi doesn't have time to watch, the Zhang family will watch, so that there will be no problems with the ingredients. How many restaurants have closed down because of problems with stale ingredients?
So in this situation, how could the Zhang family dare to be greedy and suffer a big loss! Moreover, the Zhang family is kind by nature and would never do anything like selling inferior goods as good ones.
When the people who were following them came back and told us, those vendors were gathering together smoking.
"This money should be earned by others."
The boss was smoking a cigarette, and the sparks on the cigarette flickered in the dark.
"Just by looking at the money they spend on groceries, we can tell that the Zhang family doesn't make as much money as we thought."
Another shrewd vendor did the math for the Zhang family in his mind. They could certainly make some money, but it wasn't as much as they had initially thought, where they could earn several hundred dollars a month.
"Seasonings are not cheap, and labor costs also need to be taken into account. These are all costs."
The vendors have been doing business for a long time, and even the dumbest ones can calculate the costs.
"Alright, stop causing trouble for me in the future. I've already told you not to mess with the Zhang family. If their family finds out that you followed them while they were buying groceries, we won't be able to survive in the city anymore."
The boss threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.
"knew."
They still listened to the boss's words and left in a depressed mood.
After they left, two thin figures walked out from the other side.
"Boss, they are the ones who followed Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhou."
The little yellow-haired boy pointed at the backs of the group of people.
These idiots not only hang around outside Zhang's house, but also follow Zhang family members. Zhang Mengzhi had already discovered them.
In order to find out who these people were, they sent two people to follow them.
He couldn't even take care of Gu Yan for the time being, so he found someone else to follow him.
"Let's go find Boss Zhang tomorrow and see how he handles it."
The big yellow-haired boy wrote down the names and appearances of those people, then took the little yellow-haired boy away.
With the monthly funding from Zhang Mengzhi, he already had several younger brothers at his disposal. However, the person he trusted the most was the little yellow-haired boy who had grown up with him.
"Okay."
Little Yellow Hair followed Big Yellow Hair and left.
"Boss Zhang, here, here."
When Zhang Mengzhi was going out to school in the morning, the little yellow-haired boy poked his head out from behind a locust tree.
"how?"
Zhang Mengzhi handed the bun in his hand to the big yellow-haired boy.
"Boss Zhang, the people following Auntie and Grandma Zhou are those vendors outside my little sister's school..."
Dahuangmao told Zhang Mengzhi everything.
"From what you said, they have no intention of doing anything to my family?"
Zhang Mengzhi tapped his fingers on his thigh as he thought.
"Yes, but there is no guarantee that they will completely give up."
Big Yellow Hair didn't say anything definite, after all, money is the key to success! Even if they knew that the Zhang family didn't make as much money as they thought, what if someone took the risk?
"Well, you find two more people to protect my mom and aunt in secret. This is the protection fee."
Zhang Mengzhi took out three big unity cards and handed them to the two of them.
"Okay, Boss Zhang, don't worry!"
The big yellow-haired boy took the money without hesitation and assured Zhang Mengzhi.
At the same time, he could also see that Zhang Mengzhi chose family over money.
Such people are usually loyal and will not go back on their word. He took the money very readily and decided to go back and find two good men to follow the two old men in secret.
"Go back and get yourself something delicious. Don't treat yourself badly."
Zhang Mengzhi looked at the sparse yellow hair on the boy's head. It was not dyed, but caused by malnutrition.
"yes."
The big yellow-haired man touched his hair. He was often worried about it. How many men don't care about their hair? Not to mention the small amount of hair, the key point is that this hair is yellow as if it was dyed.
After making arrangements for his mother and first wife, Zhang Mengzhi rushed to school.
"Zhang Mengzhi, these are your monthly exam results."
The female monitor handed Zhang Mengzhi the test paper to him.
"Thank you, monitor." Zhang Mengzhi took the paper and looked at it carefully, marking the wrong answers and analyzing them carefully.
This is how it is in liberal arts classes, you have to memorize a lot and analyze a lot, and even the most talented person can't guarantee that they can get full marks.
He wasn't so arrogant as to say that he always got full marks in every exam, and that the occasional success was just luck.
Writing down mistakes is just to avoid losing points next time.
Seeing that Zhang Mengzhi had such good grades and was correcting his mistakes seriously, the classmates in the class calmed down and carefully redoed the wrong questions. They also took the correct test papers of their classmates to compare them to see why they were deducted points.
For a moment, the whole classroom was very quiet and everyone was studying hard.
Perhaps it is a legacy issue. Most students who are admitted to university cherish the opportunity to go to school, and only a small number of them start to live a slacker life.
Although the male protagonist has good grades, his main focus is on the female protagonist. This monthly exam is even worse than the one at the beginning of the school year.
In the last exam at the beginning of the school year, he only scored slightly above the passing line, which made the Gu family very dissatisfied with Wang Lingya, and they were not allowed to go out on a date recently.
It's just that young people, the more you don't let them do something, the more they want to do it. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
Since they couldn't date outside, Wang Lingya sneaked into the university after class to date Gu Yan. They usually hugged each other in a corner with few people, and they even developed a strange feeling.
Although Zhang Mengzhi didn't look for anyone specifically, he did have someone follow the male protagonist, so he knew that the male and female protagonists were kissing secretly, and they even almost broke the ban once.
If someone hadn't happened to pass by, the person watching would have seen a good show.
Even so, the two of them still have fewer opportunities to date than before. Gu Yan misses his girlfriend even more because he has fewer opportunities to meet her.
As a result, this month’s monthly exam has been affected again.
"Yanyan, can you tell mom why your grades have dropped so much?"
Mother Gu asked as she sat opposite her son, holding his test paper.
"I……"
How could Gu Yan dare to say that his academic performance declined because of his secret date with Wang Lingya! He didn't study well during this period.
But who is Gu's mother? She gave birth to her son, and she knew what kind of shit he was going to poop when he raised his butt.
"Are you still seeing that woman? Don't you remember what I said to your father?"
Gu's mother's face darkened. She had remained calm just now, but now she could no longer keep calm. She raised her hand and wanted to hit her son.
"Mom, I was wrong."
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Gu Yan quickly admitted his mistake.
Now he still has to live under his parents' care. Without his parents, he can't do anything and doesn't even have money to eat and drink.
In the previous life, he began to target the Zhang family because he believed that the Zhang family was deliberately causing trouble for the Wang family.
By the time the Gu family found out that they had been deceived by the Wang family, they had already offended the Zhang family. After all, they had killed several people. Who would believe them if they talked about reconciliation at this time?
So the Gu family had no choice but to go all the way and decided to completely crush the Zhang family. The struggle lasted for more than ten years, and finally ended with the Zhang family losing and returning to their hometown to farm.
The dozens of lives lost also became the blood debt of the Gu family. Although the author did not write it, given the selfish nature of the Gu family, she would definitely not have an easy life in the future.
Making enemies with the Zhang family actively and making enemies with them passively are two different things!
Because of her concealment, the Gu family and the Zhang family fought each other. Although it seemed that the Gu family won, in fact, the benefits obtained by the Gu family were not as much as imagined.
At least it is not enough for the Gu family to move to the next level, so Gu Yan, as the male protagonist, has to work hard to make money.
