Chapter 97: United
Zhang Yuniang hesitated for a moment between arguing with her sister or acting according to her own heart.
She recalled the years she spent at her mother's home. Her mother died of illness when she was very young, and Mrs. Cai married into the family soon after.
If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.
After Mrs. Cai gave birth to Zhang Guangzong, her father basically ignored her.
Zhang Huiniang thought her sister's silence was due to guilt. She became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction she had suffered this year: "We are sisters, and my brother is also your brother. Big sister, my brother encountered such a big problem, but you didn't even ask your brother-in-law to help. You really don't care about family affection at all..."
Zhang Yunniang suddenly nodded and said, "You are right."
When Zhang Huiniang heard this, she thought she had the upper hand. She raised her head slightly and said arrogantly, "Sister, you should admit your mistakes and correct them. Now let your brother-in-law go to the county..."
Zhang Yunniang sent Niuniu to Old Man Gu, and told the other children to hide behind. She picked up a broom nearby and hit Zhang Huiniang with it without any warning.
Zhang Huiniang hurriedly tried to hide behind her husband, but Xu Wu was not a responsible man, so he also retreated.
Zhang Yunniang still cared about family affection, so she gave Zhang Huiniang a broom and then chased Xu Wu like a god of war.
Xu Wu wanted to stop the broom, but Zhang Yunniang's movements were quick and fierce, and he looked very embarrassed when he fled.
"You're crazy! This is how you, the Gu family, treat guests! Is there no one to keep you in check?" Zhang Hui's mother was so angry that she jumped up and down.
Just at this moment, Chen Chunhua walked out of the house.
Zhang Hui Niang naturally recognized that this was her eldest sister's sister-in-law, and she also remembered that they had a bad relationship. She thought she had seen a savior and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law of the Gu family, please take care of it..."
Chen Chunhua didn't listen to what she said at all. She just muttered, "It's impossible for one person to chase four people and fight them."
Chen Chunhua still remembered her family's current way of doing things. In order to continue to eat meat with the second branch, Chen Chunhua did not hesitate at all. She picked up her own broom and joined the battlefield with her own dry food. She attacked Zhang Huiniang's family and shouted loudly:
"Who dares to bully my brother and sister?"
Zhang Hui Niang had never expected this to happen. Her eyes widened and she couldn't help but wonder if she had remembered it wrong.
Chen Chunhua looks like she wants to fight for Zhang Yuniang. Who is saying that the relationship between them sisters-in-law is not good? Does this look like a bad relationship?
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! My eldest sister has gone crazy, you should take care of her!" When Zhang Huiniang was chased by Chen Chunhua and ran away in panic, she did not forget to shout towards the house.
Old Mrs. Gu came out, followed by her three sons.
"Why did they start a fight? Isn't this my second brother's sister-in-law's family? Aren't they here to pay New Year's greetings?" Gu Laosan was very confused.
Old Mrs. Gu took a look at the battle situation and did not answer her son's question. She lowered her head and looked for a suitable weapon. Finally, she found a few long sticks.
Gu Laosan looked at the long stick handed over by his mother and asked, "Mom, don't you want to ask the reason? What if we are not right?"
The old lady glared at her youngest son and said, "Why ask the reason? Family is the most important reason!"
After these words passed through Gu Laosan's mind for a moment, he suddenly shook his head vigorously: "Forget it, never mind."
After saying that, he took the stick and joined the battle.
Zhang Hui Niang was still hoping for the best, thinking that someone sensible enough would come forward from the Gu family and at least get everyone to sit down and talk face to face.
She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to force Gu Mingda to step in and resolve the issue of Zhang Guangzong, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was met with a torrential attack.
In order to avoid being beaten to death by the Gu family, Zhang Hui Niang had to hurriedly run away with her husband and sons.
Zhang Huiniang almost ran back to her parents' home in one breath. When she saw that no one was chasing her, she stopped and said, "No one has caught up with us. That's great."
Xu Wu bent over and panted, saying, "Your elder sister used to be very gentle, why did she suddenly become like this?"
Zhang Huiniang rolled her eyes and said, "You still say you don't miss her!"
Xu Wu hurried to comfort her.
The eldest son barely had time to catch his breath, but that didn't stop him from having a mess of thoughts running through his head.
The ten-year-old child, perhaps because of his father's words and deeds, had a rather precocious idea at this time: "Mom, Niuniu is much whiter and tenderer than before, and her skin can be squeezed to make water. Why don't you ask my aunt to marry her and let her be my wife?"
The younger son didn't understand what this meant at all, but that didn't stop him from competing with his brother for her: "Give me a wife! Give me a wife! Why does my brother have one and I don't?"
Zhang Huiniang thought of how Zhang Yunniang looked like a god of war holding a broom today, and she couldn't help but shudder. She said, "Don't even think about it. If anyone thinks about it again, just wait to be beaten to death by your aunt, that crazy woman!"
Xu Wu finally remembered the important matter and said, "If all the Gu family members are like this, we can't look for Gu Mingda."
Zhang Hui Niang stamped her feet vigorously and asked, "What about my brother? I gave so much money to Ren Liu, but he didn't even make a sound. He just kept asking for more money."
Xu Wu sighed and said, "Except for Ren Liu, we have no other way to know people in the government. If we give a little more money, maybe we can get it done."
Zhang Huiniang and Zhang Guangzong were siblings from the same mother and had a very good relationship, but she was still worried about her brother.
"My mother doesn't seem to have much money. Does she really have to sell the gold treasure to raise money?" Zhang Hui's mother asked uncertainly.
Xu Wu said, "Why are you feeling sorry for him? He's not your biological nephew, so just sell him. Your brother is in jail, and he probably wouldn't be happy to have a bastard like him enjoying his life at home."
"After all, my mother has raised Jinbao for so many years. If my brother can't be saved and she loses Jinbao, she will be left with no male heir to take care of her in her old age..." Zhang Hui's mother said with a worried look on her face.
Xu Wu did not even mention providing for his mother-in-law's retirement. Instead, he said, "Don't worry. I've asked around about Ren Liu. He'll do a good job after receiving the money. My uncle will definitely come back safely."
In the Gu family's house, after the family worked together to drive away the annoying guy, Mrs. Gu asked, "Yun Niang, did you have a fight with your sister? It was so intense that they were about to fight. What did she say?"
Zhang Yunniang did not mention Niu Niu's fear of Xu Wu. After all, once she said it, people who heard it would probably think badly, and she couldn't let her daughter get involved in anything like this.
"She wanted my husband to go to the county government office to get someone back. I refused but she wouldn't listen. She was so annoying, so I chased her away with a broom." Zhang Yunniang said lightly.
After hearing this explanation, the other members of the Gu family thought Zhang Yuniang was a little fierce, but they didn't think much about it.
Only Gu Mingda was keenly aware of something and looked at his wife with concern.
"Mom is so awesome! Aunt is so awesome too, everyone is so awesome!" Niu Niu suddenly cheered, an excited smile on her little face, looking at the adults with eyes full of admiration.
When Niu Niu saw her uncle-in-law and cousin being chased and beaten with a broom, she suddenly felt that the fear in her heart seemed to be wiped away bit by bit.
With Niu Niu starting the cheer, the other children followed suit.
Chen Chunhua has been trying to please Niu Niu for many days, but this is the first time she has received a smile from Niu Niu. She was actually a little flattered for a moment.
Zhang Yuniang turned her head and nodded to her sister-in-law.
Chen Chunhua was happy that her plan to please the second wife seemed to have achieved some results. At the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little strange in her heart. Looking at the family members in front of her, they all seemed to be covered with a layer of warm golden light.
In the midst of the peace, only Gu Zhao, after cheering, never forgot his original intention: "I almost forgot that I still need to buy maltose."
