Chapter 169 I don’t want to disrupt your life
Had dinner.
Zhuang Chaoying prepared to take his family back home.
Zhuang Hualin stood up, patted Xiangdong and said, "Brother, wait a moment. I'll get the things for my parents and then leave."
"Hmm" Zhuang Chaoying was stunned for a moment.
"Let's go live with my eldest brother," Zhuang Hualin looked at Zhu Xiuyu again, "Sister-in-law, is that okay?"
Zhu Xiu Yu was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"Let's just sleep on the floor. There's always a place to sleep on the floor!" Zhuang Hualin pleaded.
Zhu Xiuyu nodded quickly: "You are guests, how can we let you sleep on the floor? How about this, you and Xiangdong stay in our room, and your brother and I will sleep on the floor."
Tunan replied, "No need, Aunt Zhu, Pengfei and I will sleep in the same bed, and you and uncle can sleep in my room."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded after hearing this: "That's fine. It's winter after all, and we can stay together and keep warm."
"Then I'll get out a bed and quilt, one for each of us, and put a blanket on top, so we don't have to worry about rolling over." Zhu Xiu Yu immediately responded.
"Brother Tuanan sleeps with Pengfei for one night and with me for one night." Hongbin also said.
Zhuang Hualin looked at his eldest brother and his family with gratitude.
She started packing up with Xiangdong.
When Zhuang's mother came out of the room, everyone was ready to leave.
When Zhuang's mother saw this, she was shocked and said, "Hua Lin! Why don't you live at home? There's room at home. Don't crowd in your eldest brother and the others."
"Mom, the last time I came, you wouldn't even let me sleep on the floor. I'd better not bother you anymore. You're used to it. Our arrival disrupts your lives, and it must be inconvenient in many ways."
Zhuang Hualin repeated what Zhuang's mother and Lin Fang had said to Zhuang's mother one by one.
Mother Zhuang was anxious and angry. She was still thinking that after Zhuang Hualin came, she would be able to feel comfortable for a few days!
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Hualin had no intention of living at home at all.
"Hua Lin, before, it was Lin Fang who was here, and she wouldn't agree no matter what. But now it's different. Now that the three of them are gone, there are only the two of us old people at home, and we still have two rooms! You can live in one, and Pengfei can live in another. This way, you can spend two more days together, how great!"
Zhuang's mother tried to remedy the situation, but Zhuang Hualin refused to accept it.
"No, Mom. Pengfei lives with my eldest brother. My eldest sister-in-law has been working so hard. I have to help with some work these days to give her a few days of rest. Otherwise, I would be so sorry for them." Zhuang Hualin moved Zhu Xiu Yu out.
Zhuang Chaoying wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Xiuyu.
Xiangdong, on the other hand, never thought of interrupting from beginning to end and just listened to his wife.
"Oh, Mom, we don't have anything good to bring from Guizhou. These are white wine, potato chips, and dried mushrooms... They're not worth much, and I know you won't appreciate them, but these are the best we can offer."
Zhuang Hualin put the things in order, then went back with Xiangdong, Zhuang Chaoying and the others.
Zhuang's mother rushed out a few steps and said, "Hey! Birch forest!"
"Mom! Don't send me off. Go look after Dad! We'll come over early on the 31st."
"Birch forest!"
Zhuang Hualin left without looking back.
Zhuang's mother was very sad. She closed the door and went into the room and started to curse:
"Don't think I don't know, I just don't want to serve you! Why don't you just die? If you die right away, you won't be a burden to us!"
"They're all blaming us. The eldest blames us for causing his divorce from Huang Ling, the second blames us for not taking Pengfei in, and the third blames us for not being able to get him out... Are they blaming us? How can children blame their parents in this world?"
"My poor Ganmei!"
Zhuang's mother thought of her beloved third son, who not only became a labor camp prisoner, but his wife also betrayed him. Now it was certain that the child was not his either. She felt like the sky was falling.
When Mr. Zhuang heard this, he could only hear the sound of the bed being banged.
Zhuang's mother had no choice but to cry.
The two still don't understand why the banker has developed into his current situation.
They think about everyone else's problems but not their own.
After leaving the banker's house, Zhuang Hualin stopped and said to Zhuang Chaoying:
"Brother, I just feel uncomfortable. Xiangdong and I have decided to stay in a guesthouse. Your place is too crowded. We can't trouble you anymore."
Zhu Xiuyu held her hand and said, "Alas, the guesthouse is very expensive. There is no need for this, unless you don't want to live with us..."
"Sister-in-law, absolutely not."
"Pengfei always says his dad works his butt off carrying a pickaxe just to earn a little extra money for his education. I can even let you stay at the street police station. Listen to me, come back with us, and save the money to buy Pengfei paper and pens!"
Finally, the family returned to Zhuang Chaoying's home.
Zhuang Hualin took out another big bag of things for his elder brother and sister-in-law.
"Pengfei called me specifically to say that Hongbin likes to eat potato chips, and he wants them spicy! I was almost bleeding, and his father told me that I would give him a blister from the spiciness. And these are good mushrooms. Sister-in-law, you can make a soup or something like that. They taste great."
"Thank you. I like mushrooms the most. We all eat clean food, but Hongbin likes spicy food. Usually we put a bottle of chili sauce in his rice."
"Yes, I brought you some that I made myself. But Hongbin, you should try it tomorrow. The chili peppers in our Guizhou are much better than those in Suzhou." Zhuang Hualin dug out the chili sauce and handed it to Zhao Hongbin.
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Hongbin quickly took it with both hands.
Zhuang Hualin praised him, "He's really sensible. Tunan is also sensible. He's the best in my family."
"He is sensible, very sensible. Don't always say that he is immature." Zhu Xiu Yu also spoke up for Pengfei.
Zhuang Chaoying talked to Xiangdong about Guizhou again. The house was full of laughter and joy, and it felt like they were a family.
The happiest one was Pengfei.
He usually talks the most, but now he is silent and just laughs foolishly.
He made up his mind to get into university, get a formal job in Suzhou, get a house, and bring his parents over.
During every holiday, I come to visit my uncle's family and Aunt Huang's family.
So beautiful.
When he makes a lot of money, he can treat them to a big dinner, a big table full of people who are kind to him, and each person will have a bowl of braised pork.
Zhu Xiu Yu went to the kitchen to boil water for everyone to wash. With just a look from her, Zhao Hongbin stood up to help.
The two of them spent time with their family.
Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Hualin were putting on quilts in Tunan's room while chatting.
"Brother, sister-in-law is very good to you!"
"Yeah, it's fine. Don't worry. I treat Pengfei the same way I treat Tunan. Oh, even Hongbin won't be any more. I think even if it's my own three children, they all have their likes and dislikes. I wouldn't treat them as evenly as she does."
"Well, I can see that Hongbin is also a good boy who is honest and steady. It must be right for Pengfei to be with them." Zhuang Hualin glanced at his brother.
My brother looks very happy.
