Chapter 209

"But where is Brother Gu's home?"

Zhang Lin asked calmly.

"My second sister-in-law said before that she was going to the Gu family in Beijing to attend a wedding. I wonder if it was Brother Gu's family."

There are many people with the surname Gu in the capital, but there are not many powerful and influential families.

It is possible that Gu Qingshan is related to Gu Huaqiang.

Although Zhang Wan did not see Gu Qingshan when she attended the wedding banquet, it was normal for him to be away as he was in the army.

Tan Jian did not suspect anything and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Qingshan's family is just a branch of the Gu family in Beijing. Qingshan and his grandfather were brothers with the old grandmother who passed away from the Gu family. They separated from each other decades ago."

Zhang Lin looked exactly like that.

Although he is only a side branch and his family is not in decline, it is still not comparable to ordinary families. This was the male supporting role before.

"But the Qingshan family declined during the war years. Otherwise, my sister might not have been able to marry his father."

Although Tan Jian did not have a very serious concept of family background, in the capital, all the well-known families were particular about it.

The two chatted for a long time. Although the Tan family knew that Zhang Lin's family had many acquaintances in Beijing, they were still afraid that Zhang Lin might not understand the situation, so they carefully told him about the family relationship networks in Beijing that he knew, as well as some important things.

For example, the relationship between the Gu family and the Qin family is average. Qin Zizhou and the head of the second branch of the Gu family have some conflicts and different ideas. The two families have different goals and ideas, so they basically do not interact with each other.

Zhang Lin nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

That’s right. This time, the granddaughter of the Gu family came, and no one went to her second brother’s house.

Also, the Luo family used to have a very good relationship with the Qin family. When the Luo family fell into trouble, Qin Mubai's father, who had not yet passed away, completely cut off contact with Luo Lin's father.

Although this decisive severance of ties is understandable, it also left many people with a worse impression of Qin Mubai's father, Qin Zihuai.

After all, many people knew that there was nothing wrong with the Luo family, they just had bad luck.

There were many other rumors spread among the big family by outsiders. As long as they were not inappropriate for children, Tan Jian told them all.

After several years of getting to know each other, he no longer treated Zhang Lin as a child.

Although this little girl looks innocent and cute, she is actually just as smart as an adult.

"Thank you, Uncle Luo. I'll go back first."

Zhang Lin was very satisfied and gained more knowledge after hearing this.

All the old and large families in the capital basically have close networks of relationships, and those emerging families have tried their best to squeeze into these old families.

After the turmoil in recent years, those families have stopped their activities. Not only do they not try to squeeze into the ranks of the aristocratic families, they are also afraid of being implicated by those families with a long history.

After all, an old family that has existed for so many years in the feudal dynasty can always find something to put a label on someone as long as they are determined.

However, those families are not stupid. They hide what needs to be hidden and deal with what needs to be dealt with. On the surface, they can no longer find any evidence.

Then things gradually calmed down.

Not far from the cowshed, Zhang Changshun was seen in the woods.

The old man glared at Zhang Lin.

"You are such a talented and courageous little girl that you don't even go home when it's dark."

Zhang Changshun was helpless. The girl was very capable and fearless. Fortunately, she had a lot of things on her, otherwise they would not be able to rest assured.

"Hey, don't worry, Grandpa. I'm just chatting with Uncle Tan."

The two grandfathers and grandsons walked back hand in hand, chatting quietly.

"Grandpa, my dad mentioned Fourth Grandpa before and said he wanted to find Fourth Grandpa. There has been no news about my Fourth Uncle in these years, so we should look for him."

Zhang Lin didn't know the other branches in her previous life. In addition, she heard from her father in her previous life that the Fourth Grandfather had no news in his entire life and must have passed away. She instinctively felt that the Fourth Grandfather was already dead, and it was inevitable that she had neglected him in this life.

In addition, she didn't have so many props at the beginning. After she had the props, there were many things to deal with and she couldn't think of them for a while.

Last time, he discovered that her father Zhang Yaowen seemed to be secretly looking for someone.

It was only in the past few days that she realized that her father might be looking for her fourth uncle.

As for why she didn't ask him, after all, she had a lot of props.

It must be her dad who is scared!

From her thoughts before, they must have known that in her previous life, Fourth Uncle had never been seen alive or dead.

Almost everyone tacitly accepted that Fourth Uncle was dead.

He must be afraid too. What if he searches for the props and finds the news of death directly?

If you care too much, you will be confused.

Although Zhang Lin did not agree with Zhang Yaowen's feelings, he understood them.

Zhang Changshun was silent for a moment before looking at Zhang Lin.

"You search secretly."

Although they had strong perception and knew that there was no one around for a long distance, they still couldn't help but lower their voices. If it weren't for Zhang Lin's good hearing, he would have almost failed to hear it.

Zhang Lin nodded, "Let's go home quickly."

When they returned home, the old lady was still busy. Zhang Changshun didn't seem to care, but he was actually looking at Zhang Lin with some nervousness.

Zhang Lin used a primary search to find all the information about Zhang Yaozong.

The next moment, Zhang Yaozong's information appeared in his mind.

The more Zhang Lin looked, the more shocked he became.

"Fourth uncle went abroad!"

Zhang Changshun was stunned. When he left, he said he was going to Shancheng or Hcheng. Why did he go abroad?

Could it be that the world was too chaotic during those years, so he took the opportunity to escape?

After all, the fourth brother is also a businessman, so it is normal for him to avoid the limelight.

Zhang Lin looked very strange.

Zhang Changshun felt relieved when he saw this. It seemed that the fourth brother was fine, but there must be some strange movements.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Lin moved his mouth and said embarrassedly.

"My fourth uncle went abroad with my second brother's biological mother!"

Oh My God!

How did the fourth uncle get connected to the second brother's biological mother?

And, got married!

Zhang Lin: ...

This is the fake second brother becoming the real second brother.

By this calculation, my second brother Qin Chengfeng is the child of my fourth uncle's wife, and therefore his stepson and also her cousin.

OMG, it's so messy!

"Chengfeng's mother has been on the run for more than ten years. Your fourth uncle was a little later than her. I didn't expect that the two of them would be able to get together."

Zhang Changshun also felt a little dreamy that the mother of his godson had actually become his daughter-in-law.

"What's wrong with them?"

Zhang Changshun became curious.

Among his sons, the eldest is the most stable, sensible and capable.

I won’t mention the second one, there is no such person.

The third child is smart. Maybe not as clever as the eldest, but he is also quite clever.

Lao Wu was a man of strong and decisive character, so he joined the army.

Only the fourth child was stubborn and thoughtful. Perhaps because he and the old lady did not pay enough attention to him, the child became sensitive and closed-minded.

He even felt that the old couple didn't care much about him, and a gap between them grew in his heart.

To be honest, he never cared about the fourth child.

In fact, he has always felt that if they are still doing business now, besides the eldest brother who can take charge, only the fourth brother is the most suitable to do business.
