Chapter 696 Is there something wrong with her?
After walking out of the kitchen, Qi Dingbang saw people in the living room. He was stunned for a moment. They were all there.
His adoptive parents, his two younger brothers and their wives all came.
"Mom and Dad, second brother and third brother, why are you here?" Qi Dingbang greeted them with a smile.
"Why are we here? If we don't come again..." As soon as Old Man Zhang started to speak, he was pushed back by his eldest son.
Zhang Fu smiled and said, "Brother, we were all very worried about you. You suddenly disappeared without telling our family. Mom and Dad searched all over the city for you and were so worried that they went crazy. Mom didn't sleep for several nights and her eyes were almost blind from crying. Later, I heard that you found your biological parents..."
He looked around, his eyes full of amazement.
"We are all worried that you might run into a scammer, so we came to check on you, but we were afraid that if we didn't come enough, we wouldn't be able to save you from the scammer."
He smiled bitterly: "It seems that we thought too much. You are living a good life."
Every word he says is full of concern and has a subtle tone, making people afraid to argue with him.
Qi Dingbang took a deep breath. That’s it. The Zhang family can be described as “brave and resourceful”! The violent ones can beat people and act like a spoiled child, while the gentle ones can use public opinion to suppress him, making it impossible for him to get rid of it for so many years.
"I left suddenly because something happened unexpectedly and I didn't have time to tell my family. But I sent someone to take a message home. Didn't the message get delivered?" Qi Dingbang lied with his eyes open.
"I didn't think I would stay here forever. I was also surprised to hear the news about my biological father. I wasn't sure if it was true. I wanted to write to my family and tell you once I was sure. I didn't expect you to come just after I mailed the letter. What a coincidence." He smiled and rounded things up.
The adoptive parents must be recognized! Even though he has lived like an ox or a horse in their family over the years! That was to give him food to eat and keep him alive. If he didn't acknowledge it, he would be ungrateful.
He was also good at speaking, leaving the Zhang family no chance to complain.
Old Lady Zhang said, "I feel relieved to see that you are okay. It doesn't matter whether you recognize us or not. I also know that you suffered a lot when you followed us. There is nothing we can do because our family is too poor.
"But do you still remember your childhood? Whenever there was an egg left at home, it was given to you to eat. Once you caught a cold and had a fever, your mother held you in her arms all night long. At dawn, she sold the last bit of food at home and took you to the city to see a doctor. And..."
Finally, he lost his temper and started talking about his achievements.
They were also afraid that Zhang Lushi, who had been in their new home for so many days, would say bad things about them!
In fact, Zhang Lushi didn't really say it, he just hinted, because he knew that if he said it out loud, he would appear petty and ungrateful.
Zheng Manru didn't want to listen to the old lady's nagging, so she smiled and said, "Your family has come all the way here, please sit down and talk. Thank you for taking care of Dingbang for me and raising him up for so many years."
The word "benefactor" gave the Zhang family confidence, and they sat down on the sofa steadily.
When Qi Anguo returned home, he saw them.
In an instant, he was reminded of Zheng Yajun.
"Where is Yajun buried?" he suddenly asked.
"What Yajun?" Old Mrs. Zhang asked curiously.
Qi Dingbang quickly said, "It's my mother! Her name is Zheng Yajun!"
"Isn't her name Sun Errong?" asked Old Mrs. Zhang.
Qi Dingbang said calmly: "That's not her real name. My mother's real name is Zheng Yajun."
Old Mrs. Zhang muttered, "Why would a woman like her use a pseudonym? What's going on? Is there something wrong with her?"
Qi Dingbang had a stern face, looking at the ground without saying a word!
Zhu Qiufang also discussed this issue with him at that time. What to do if the names don’t match?
Neither of them could come up with a good excuse. What if they made it wrong?
Besides, Zhu Qiufang wasn't really serious about it, and Qi Dingbang also felt that after he went to the capital, he had completely cut off contact with the Zhang family. As long as he didn't say anything, no one would know about his mother's past.
Who knew they would come! How on earth did they find it? Who told them the news?
Qi Anguo misunderstood, and found an excuse to change her name. Of course, she didn't want others to know that she was Qi Anguo's wife and Zheng Ke's daughter, and she didn't want to return to the Qi family.
He continued, "I just want to know where she is buried. I want to bring her... back to the capital."
Old Mrs. Zhang said immediately, "That's right, she was buried in the graveyard of Zhangjia Village, in the northwest corner, at the very edge of a small bag... Ask the old people in the village, no one knows who it is."
Seeing Qi Anguo's unhappy expression, Zhang Fu immediately said: "It's not that we don't want to erect a tombstone for her. Most of the families in our village don't have tombstones. They can't afford it. A stone tablet costs a lot of money. My family is poor. Only my grandfather has a tombstone. My grandmother doesn't even have one..."
With that said, Qi Anguo had no reason to be angry.
"She..." Is she living well in the Zhang family? Looking at the way these people were dressed and their shrewd expressions, he couldn't ask any questions.
"You settle them. I have official business. I just came back to get something and then I have to leave." Qi Anguo said to Zheng Manru, then nodded to the Zhang family, hurried upstairs, and left in a hurry.
If Cheng Hui had told him before, he would at least have had a meal with these people to give them face, and also to give Qi Dingbang face.
The Zhang family raised his son, so it is no exaggeration to say that they are their benefactors.
But now, he didn't want to stay any longer.
He carried his briefcase out the door and got in his car to leave.
The driver circled the Second Ring Road and didn't hear him speak, so he could only ask, "Boss, where are we going?"
Qi Anguo rubbed his brows and said, "Go to Cheng Hui."
All of a sudden, he found himself with nowhere to go.
I also think Cheng Hui’s place is a really good place.
Anyway, he had no face in front of Cheng Hui. He had to apologize several times. She didn't know anything about it. He could only go and talk to her about this matter.
As a result, they searched three places before finding Cheng Hui on the commercial street.
A batch of good goods arrived today. Cheng Hui heard from the secretary and hurried over to pick them first!
There are several thangkas that arrived this time.
This thangka is made entirely with traditional craftsmanship, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years. Maybe they thought her price was too high, so they sent it to her.
There were also a few vases and antiques. Someone had written to her before, saying that they were old things and they didn't dare to mail them, so Cheng Hui specially sent someone to bring them back.
She did steal a lot of business from the antique shops.
But no one is definitely angry with her, as the antique shop even mails batches of items to her!
A lot of inventory in their local area cannot be sold even if it is left to rot, but Cheng Hui accepts almost everything that comes in. As long as it is not a fake, she will at least give her the cost!
Because of this, Cheng Hui had to open a special warehouse for cultural relics. Fortunately, there were many houses with items collected before, otherwise there would not be enough space.
When Qi Anguo arrived, Cheng Hui was looking at a vase with a group of old men.
They are all experts in the archaeology department, and they like this kind of thing. In the past, they never had the opportunity to look at things in other local cultural relics stores.
Now they are almost living in the commercial street. They are all retirees. They stay there from morning to night and even specially asked Cheng Hui to go into the warehouse to take a look.
Cheng Hui hired them as master craftsmen, which made the old men very happy.
"Good stuff, it's definitely Yuan blue and white porcelain!"
