Chapter 290
And that's just the property that lost money on one of their primary homes.
Other properties are countless. After all, in the previous life, Zhang Yaowu from the second house was the richest man in the county!
In the previous life, part of the second wife’s happiness was achieved by stepping on the first wife’s.
Although the cousins were neither accomplices nor bad people, they were also vested interests. She was very kind by not harming them and by transferring the hatred of Zhang Yaowu and Zhang Yuzhen to them.
Zhang Lin's idea coincided with Zhang Changshun's.
Although the three brothers over there are also his grandchildren, he cannot pay too much attention to them because of those parents.
Besides, although two of the three brothers are not bad, compared with the other grandsons, they are simply not like members of the Zhang family. Not to mention whether they are smart or not, their character is much worse.
Even Manqin's unreliable son is much better than the three brothers next door after being reformed.
Xu Guangrong is now studying well, being filial, and taking care of his two sisters. He is almost like a different person from when he first came to his hometown.
As the head of the family, Zhang Changshun is the most clear-headed and has a rationality that is shocking.
To be honest, when Zhang Lin first traveled back in time, he never expected that his grandfather, who had always had feudal ideas, would be so receptive and clear-headed.
Next door, the situation did not calm down after Zhang Guoping and his wife left, but became even more intense.
Zhang Lin and his friends suspected that most of the things in the second room might have been smashed.
The crackling sound, like an accompaniment, accompanies the cooking and eating here...
"Oh my god, Linlin, this Wang Cuihua is so scary. Fortunately, we are back and don't have to meet her face to face. Otherwise, I might be so angry that I would die."
Xu Jiaojiao whispered to Zhang Lin secretly.
She was not very smart and knew very well that she could not deal with Wang Cuihua at all.
The corners of Zhang Lin's mouth twitched. This was because she had never met Zhang Yuzhen, otherwise she would be even more stunned.
Wang Cuihua is only good at swearing and can't do anything big. She is not that scary.
Zhang Yuzhen can poison you to death if she disagrees with you. Without a cheat code, it's hard to guard yourself against someone like her.
"However, fortunately the person who poisoned me is gone, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come back."
Xu Jiaojiao had been back to her hometown for a few years, so she had naturally heard about Zhang Yuzhen's deeds and was stunned at the time.
This is her cousin
Twelve years old is so vicious
Unimaginable!
"Dad, if we have the chance in the future, we will build a house and move out."
Tian Xiaofen looked at Zhang Changshun with an apologetic look.
There's no way. Although this large yard is separated, any movement can still be clearly seen.
Living next to Wang Cuihua, she had long wanted to move away.
Unfortunately, it’s not that they can’t afford to buy a house, but the current policy is inconvenient.
Zhang Changshun was not unhappy at all, and nodded: "Get up, old man, I also want to move out of the house, I am afraid that I will shorten my life if I don't move."
Tian Xiaofen finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her husband was not happy at all and even wanted to move away.
Her husband said that the environment is getting better and better, and it won’t be long before they don’t have to live such a depressed and low-key life.
She has been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Xiao Tan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Zhang Changshun looked at Tan Jian.
Tan Jian was not surprised at all. He had been here for more than ten years and knew basically everything that happened in the brigade.
"Uncle Zhang, don't think too much."
Tan Jian chatted with Zhang Changshun for a while, and insisted on helping to clean up the dishes. After Chen Yuwei and others persuaded him not to do so, he looked at Zhang Lin.
"Linlin, if you have the opportunity to continue your studies in the future, you must come to the capital."
Tan Jian is a university teacher. He believes that it won’t be long before he can go back to school and the university will reopen.
As a veteran who was born in Beijing and has lived there for decades, Tan Jian is still very perceptive. He can foresee many subsequent events from the rehabilitation of several people he has done.
Zhang Lin nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Tan, whether you study or not, you will be able to see me soon."
The next day, after seeing Tan Jian off, Chen Yuwei also set off back to the mountain city to work.
Xu Jiaojiao also followed Chen Yuwei back to the county town, as she also had to go to work.
The Zhang family prepared rich food for Tan Jian and his companions.
The weather is hot and food cannot be stored properly, so Zhang Lin and her team prepared food that is heat-resistant and easy to store.
Watching the few people gradually go away, Zhang Lin, Zhang Changshun, Zhang Xiao, Zhang Guoping and others slowly walked towards home.
From a distance, passing by the brigade office and looking at the stretch of old houses, Zhang Changshun still felt a sense of familiarity even after so much time had passed.
[Grandpa, our ancestral home is such a big house, but there is no dark room or secret room]
Passing by the brigade office, Zhang Lin looked at the cluster of houses and felt a little sorry.
This is the ancestral home of the Zhang family in their hometown. It is one or two hundred years old. However, the Zhang family has spent a lot of money to repair it and protect it very well.
On the contrary, it has been destroyed beyond recognition in the past twenty years or so.
A hint of reluctance and regret flashed across Zhang Changshun's eyes.
This house is the root of the Zhang family. Fortunately, we can still see it often, which is a comfort.
Zhang Lin also felt it was a pity.
Even in the future, this house will never be returned to the Zhang family. However, if it is well protected, it can be used as a tourist attraction in the future to drive the development of the hometown.
After all, many of the large courtyards that were opened as tourist attractions in later generations are not as good as the Zhang family's courtyard.
To be honest, even the courtyard on the hill outside the mountain city is not as quaint as this courtyard...
Zhang Changshun glanced at Zhang Xiao and his sister who were playing in front of him, then he lowered his voice and told Zhang Lin.
"How could there be no secret room? Which big family wouldn't have a secret room?"
"However, in order to show our sincerity, we even opened the secret room."
"Now, it has long been regarded by the brigade as a data room for the collection of important information."
Zhang Lin looked at the large yard which was mostly abandoned and even the roof was damaged. It was such a pity.
How much space could a brigade office have? Part of the backyard was used as a center for educated youth.
Most of the others are vacant.
Although many people envy this big house, no one dares to move in.
[Unfortunately, unlike those courtyard houses in Beijing, our family’s voluntary surrender and confiscated property will not be returned after the reform and opening up in the future...]
This is completely different from the nature of a courtyard house, so I'd better come back.
"By the way, what happened to that thing?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Changshun spoke in an inaudible voice and did not explain clearly.
Zhang Lin understood immediately, and that night, he secretly found Zhang Changshun and took out a pile of map fragments.
In addition to the small piece he and Zhang Wan had pieced together before, in the past few years, Zhang Lin had drawn two courtyard houses, three small islands, and countless map fragments.
After a quick work by the two grandfathers and their grandsons, half of the map has been connected.
Judging from the scale, this map is huge.
Zhang Lin and Zhang Changshun studied it for a long time but couldn't figure out where it was.
