Seeing that her son was persuaded by her, Zhang Yuhua continued, "If it weren't for his mother's interference, your father and I would have been separated for so many years. Zhou Yuelian owes me this.
She also owes you. Apart from the house, everything in our family was earned by your father and I. I am your biological mother, not his, so this property must be given to you.
Look at the car he drives, isn't that a small amount of money? So Zhiguo, there are some things you should fight for."
Zhang Zhiguo was full of hesitation, but what his mother said seemed to be true. He had already given Xu Ying away, so did he have to give away everything at home as well?
Thinking of that punch, Zhang Zhiguo's suppressed anger instantly boiled over, and he nodded: "Mom, I understand."
Zhang Yuhua was overjoyed when she saw that her son had finally come to his senses.
Thinking of what the Qu family said, she glanced at her son and said, "You are not young anymore, and your eldest brother is about to give birth to a child.
You have to get married soon. Do you remember your aunt Qu's daughter, Huimin? She is a college student now and she is pretty. College graduates are cadres now. Can you find some time to meet her?"
When Zhang Zhiguo heard about Qu Huimin, his face suddenly turned bad: "She is not Zhang Wu's fiancée, so we can't be together."
"What fiancée? The engagement was cancelled when something happened to Zhang Wu's family." Zhang Yuhua felt something was wrong after saying this.
Zhang Zhiguo said unhappily, "They canceled the engagement as soon as something happened. It shows that Aunt Qu's family is quite snobbish. There is something wrong with the thinking of such a family.
I don’t want to marry her daughter, and I don’t like Qu Huimin’s arrogant and domineering personality at all.”
"Then what kind do you like?" Zhang Yuhua asked after hesitating for a moment.
Zhang Zhiguo thought about it, and the image of Xu Ying emerged in his mind: "I like capable women, preferably those who are good at talking, and can protect others' shortcomings, have business acumen, are pretty, gentle and considerate, and preferably filial."
Zhang Yuhua looked at her son with a smile on her face: "Could it be that you have a lover?"
Zhang Zhiguo's face turned red unconsciously, and he shook his head quickly: "Mom, how is that possible? I just want to find someone like this."
Zhang Yuhua stared at her son carefully, and when she saw that he didn't look fake, she gave up and sighed, "You're dreaming too much. You have to be good-looking, considerate, and good at business. Where in the world can you find such a perfect person?"
Zhang Zhiguo's face was full of excitement, and he was about to say yes, but when he remembered that the man had married someone else, he closed his mouth in disappointment.
"Anyway, I want to find someone I like. I don't like Qu Huimin at all. She's too selfish. If she were to marry into our family, there would definitely be chaos."
Zhang Yuhua paused while cutting vegetables, thinking about Qu Huimin's temper. She was spoiled at home and was unreasonable outside.
She is not the type of person who would show weakness. If she really let Huimin's girl into the house, the two of them would have a fight.
It seems that I need to find a time to talk to Huimin's mother. She can agree to other things, but she can't agree to it blindly regarding her son's future happiness.
In the room, Zhang Yanlin poured tea for Huo Chen and Xu Ying, looked at Huo Chen with guilt on his face, and asked about his childhood.
Upon hearing how much his son had suffered, Zhang Yanlin’s eyes turned red: “Son, you have suffered so much these years.
It's all Dad's fault. If I had looked at you at the beginning, this wouldn't have happened."
Huo Chen looked at him and asked, "Who hired the midwife back then? Where is she now?"
When Zhang Yanlin heard his son asking about the midwife, his heart skipped a beat and he answered carelessly, "I was the one who found the midwife back then. Your mother was about to give birth suddenly and a midwife happened to pass by nearby. I didn't think too much about it and just took her home.
Alas, it has been so many years since the incident, the midwife is probably long gone."
Huo Chen responded calmly and said nothing more.
Zhang Yanlin's eyelids were indeed twitching. This guy was doubting that Yue Lian's death was not an accident.
Maybe she mistakenly thought you were dead. Alas, if it weren't for those things that happened to your grandparents and implicated the family, I wouldn't have been unable to even find a doctor.
When the doctor heard that it was a Zhou family member giving birth, he was afraid of being implicated with us and was unwilling to see us at all."
Zhang Yanlin began to sob softly as he spoke.
Zhang Yuhua entered the room carrying food. When she saw the man crying, she curled her lips and looked sarcastic.
If she hadn't slept with this man for so many years and knew his character, she would have been fooled by his acting skills.
But in order to agree with the man, she still looked at her son distressedly and said, “Alas, your father and I have been married for so many years and I have never seen him cry.
Now that your brother is back, he can finally feel relieved. Cry, cry hard, and let out all the pain in your heart."
Zhang Zhiguo felt uncomfortable as he looked at his father crying with his face covered on the table. He was the only son in the family, so it was understandable that he had an older brother now.
Dad cried so sadly for my eldest brother. It seems that my eldest brother is more important in his heart.
No wonder his mother was so nervous.
Looking at Huo Chen, Zhang Zhiguo's hostility became even stronger.
"Dad, it's time for dinner." he shouted coldly.
Zhang Yanlin stood up, wiped his tears, looked at Huo Chen and said kindly: "Son, Yingying, hurry up and eat. It's so late, you must be hungry. What's more, I don't know when you will be back.
I was afraid that if I cooked too early, the food would be cold when you came back. Hey, I’m so happy that you can come back.”
Zhang Zhiguo was heartbroken.
Why did he get Xu Ying's love? Now even his father is partial to him.
"Thank you, Dad." Huo Chen called out the last word a little stiffly, although Zhang Yanlin was very intimate with him.
But for some reason, he always felt that there was an obstacle in his heart blocking him.
It wasn't like meeting my grandparents, where I felt a genuine sense of familiarity. That didn't happen at all when facing Zhang Yanlin.
Zhang Yuhua brought the last dish to the table and just as she took off her apron, a voice came from the door: "Yuhua, are you home?"
Sun Yan, with a smile on her face, came to visit happily with her daughter.
Qu Huimin's face was full of displeasure and displeasure.
"Hey, Yan Zi, why are you here? Come in quickly. Have you eaten? I just prepared the meal and was about to eat it. If you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together." Zhang Yuhua saw Sun Yan. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly smiled and said.
When Sun Yan heard this, she was full of curiosity: "Why are you eating so late? Huimin and I have already eaten.
I heard that your Zhiguo has returned, so I wanted to let the two children meet each other. They haven’t seen each other for so many years, and their feelings have faded.”
Sun Yan's words were very straightforward, and Qu Huimin shouted angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
