Chapter 112: Resolving the Heart Knot and Causing Trouble
"Dad, what did my uncles say?" Zhang Wanwan asked curiously when she saw that her father looked a little dazed.
Father Zhang came back to his senses and said, "Oh, nothing. They didn't expect us to move to a new house so soon. They said some congratulations and said they would come to the city to take a look when they have some free time."
Zhang Wanwan nodded silently, but didn't care. Zhang Yongfu and the others were all busy people. Even when they were sick, they would grit their teeth and insist on making money. They never had any free time, except during the Chinese New Year.
"By the way, your aunt also said that she wanted to thank you and your mother. She really listened to you and set up a stall this year. She originally wanted to make some money to supplement the income. Even a hundred yuan is money. Unexpectedly, after three months of setting up the stall, the business gradually improved. Now she can earn several thousand yuan more a month. She earns more than your uncle in a year. At this rate, they will be able to build a homestead in less than three years. As for the rest of the things, your aunt said to take it slow. As long as the homestead is built, the adobe house can be built later, and the decoration can be completed step by step.
At first, your uncle looked down on her stall, thinking that she had too much work to do at home and couldn't make much money. He was also worried that she would lose the little capital she had. But now he is more concerned than your aunt. If there was no need for someone to watch over the land, he would have wanted to set up a stall too. "Father Zhang laughed and was obviously in a much better mood.
Zhang Wanwan knew that Zhang's father was very proud. When Li Meili lent them the money, she did so without telling the whole family. Zhang's father and mother didn't know either. Later, Zhao Guoqing found out about it and it was said that the couple had a fight. Zhao Guoqing didn't accompany Li Meili back to her parents' home during the Spring Festival that year, and Li Meili didn't say anything. After the storm was over, she let the cat out of the bag when she complained to Zhang's mother. Since then, Zhang's father always felt that he owed Li Meili, and even if he had to pay back the money, he would try to pay her family back first.
Now Li Meili earns more money than Zhao Guoqing thanks to their advice. Zhao Guoqing will never mention those things in the past again. He may even be glad that Li Meili has the foresight to lend money to Zhang's father and mother. Otherwise, their family would still be worried about money.
When the food was served, Zhang's father had a big appetite and ate one more bowl.
When the father and daughter were having dinner, Zhang's mother's side was also at its busiest time. Zhang Baiyan hurriedly ate a little and then stopped eating. He had no time at all. Several people were so busy that they were dizzy.
"Li Meilan!" A sharp shout woke them up.
Mother Zhang looked over in the direction of the voice, only to see Huang Guilian waiting for her with a look of resentment on her face, with two people holding her back tightly, otherwise she would have already rushed in front of her.
Without a second thought, Zhang Baiyan protected Zhang's mother behind him, apologized to several customers in line, walked over there, and said indifferently: "You are not welcome here, if you have something to say, come on. If you want to quarrel, I'm sorry I won't accompany you!"
"You little bastard, you were born by a mother but never taught by her! You have no right to speak here!" Huang Guilian struggled to break free from the two men and pushed Zhang Baiyan.
How could Zhang Baiyan let her succeed? He pushed back with even greater force, and Huang Guilian fell heavily on her butt.
She never thought that Zhang Baiyan would dare to attack her. When she reacted, her whole face was distorted and she rushed towards Zhang Baiyan with her teeth bared.
At the critical moment, Zhang's mother came forward with a stick and shouted: "Huang Guilian, if you dare to hit my son, I will break your legs today!"
Speaking of the broken leg, Huang Guilian's eyes flashed, and she pointed at Zhang's mother and asked, "Tell me, are you seeking revenge on my family? It's unfortunate to be related to cold-blooded people like you! Don't think you can bring us down like this, just wait and see! I want to see how long you can keep this shabby stall!"
"You don't have to worry about that. It's said that there's retribution, but the time has not come yet. It seems that you have done something wrong and now it's retribution. But looking at Ms. Huang's attitude, can I guess that my father's broken leg last time was related to you?" Zhang Baiyan stared at Huang Guilian coldly, and every word he said made people tremble in their hearts. Even others were pointing fingers at Huang Guilian.
A woman who came with Huang Guilian shouted, "What nonsense? What evidence do you have?"
Zhang Baiyan replied calmly, "We don't have any evidence. We are just trying to find a reasonable explanation for why Ms. Huang came to our place to cause trouble today. After all, we haven't been in touch with our so-called relatives for several years. My dad was beaten and hospitalized for no reason, but she came here in a rage to find fault. This makes people have to think too much! After all, we have no intersection with them and have never even stepped into their doorstep!"
The woman obviously didn't know about the Zhang family's affairs. Upon hearing this, she immediately turned her head to look at Huang Guilian, but saw her eyes flickering. Her heart sank immediately. She looked at the other person, and together they dragged Huang Guilian away.
When Huang Guilian left, she was still cursing and spitting out trash.
The shop owners nearby who were familiar with Zhang's mother came over to speak up for her. Although they didn't know what the grudge between the two families was, they were naturally on her side considering the character of Zhang's father and mother, who had never had a quarrel with anyone in such a long time.
Zhang Baiyan comforted Zhang's mother with a few words and continued to work.
At the Zhang family's side, Zhang Wanwan and her father had no idea that such a big thing had happened at the stall. They had a wonderful dinner. Zhang Wanwan saw that it was getting late, so she went back to her room to do her homework, thinking about getting up early the next day and making some porridge or something for Leng Ziyue.
That day when she went shopping for Zhang Baiyan, she saw a new thermos bucket in the mall. It was larger than a thermos cup, but much smaller than the ordinary thermos buckets. It was specially designed for office workers. It was small and easy to carry. So she bought one. If she used it to hold porridge, others would not be able to see it, and she could also suck it out, which was more convenient.
When she finished her work and went to bed, Zhang's mother and Zhang Baiyan had not returned yet. The new house had good sound insulation, and Zhang Wanwan could not hear any noise outside at all.
Father Zhang watched his own show with peace of mind. At about one o'clock in the morning, Mother Zhang and Zhang Baiyan came back.
Zhang's father greeted them with a smile, but he was met with Zhang's mother's mournful look and Zhang Baiyan's dark face.
"What's wrong? What happened? Is someone causing trouble again?" Zhang's father asked anxiously.
Zhang Baiyan nodded and replied calmly, "It was my aunt who came here to cause trouble. She was like a madman, yelling and cursing as soon as she arrived, and she also said that we were cold-blooded and hurting people. Haha. Dad, to be honest, our two families haven't been in touch for several years. Even if you set up a stall, it won't bother them. Don't you think this cold-blooded harm is funny?"
Father Zhang was shocked. He thought it was a gangster, but it turned out to be Huang Guilian!
