Chapter 113 Zhang's mother gets angry, Zhang Wanwan persuades
"Are you okay?" Zhang's father looked Zhang's mother and Zhang Baiyan up and down, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were unharmed.
Mother Zhang angrily said, "That woman actually scolded Bai Yan. I think she is the one who was born by her mother but not taught by her. She is not ashamed in public. I think Bai Yan's suspicion is correct. The gangsters who came to our stall to cause trouble last time might have something to do with her. Otherwise, why did she react so strongly when I said I would break her legs? Zhang Jianye, what kind of top-notch relatives do you have? I feel like vomiting if I have a sister-in-law with a woman like that!"
Zhang's father's face wasn't looking good either, but Zhang's mother was already very angry, and Zhang Baiyan was also holding back a lot of anger. He didn't dare add fuel to the fire, so he could only endure and persuade her.
Mother Zhang lost her temper and started to wipe away tears. "Do you think it's easy for me? When I married into your family, my father cut off all contact with them. It's better to say that you are an only child than to say that you have an older brother. After I married into your family, I had to make money, manage the family, and take care of your father. What do these things have to do with Huang Guilian? How dare she come to trouble us now? I can't swallow this breath!"
"Mom, don't tell me you can't swallow this. I can't bear it either!" Zhang Baiyan stood up suddenly and knocked the chair behind him to the ground.
Father Zhang scolded, "That's enough! Be quiet, can't you see your mom is getting mad? Can't you wait until she calms down before you speak?"
"Dad!" Zhang Baiyan's voice rose a lot. "How can we endure it when she's bullying us? It's because we keep tolerating her that she becomes more aggressive! We absolutely can't let this go! I'll seek justice even if I have to take her to her workplace!"
Father Zhang was really having a lot of trouble. On one side was Mother Zhang, who was crying and looking aggrieved, and on the other side was her son, who was young and hot-headed and unwilling to suffer any loss. And he was a clumsy person, and couldn't stop the son even if he wanted to.
"What are you arguing about?" Zhang Wanwan walked out of the room, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Her voice was hoarse and she hadn't woken up yet.
Seeing his soft and tender sister, Zhang Baiyan's anger subsided a little, and he said apologetically: "Sorry, the noise was too loud and woke you up. I'll get you a glass of water."
Zhang Wanwan nodded obediently, and when Zhang Baiyan brought the water, she lifted up the chair. Looking at Zhang's mother, whose eyes were red and she was still sobbing, she asked Zhang's father in confusion, "Dad, did you bully my mom?"
Father Zhang really felt wronged. He caught a glimpse of Mother Zhang's bitter face but did not dare to refute.
Zhang Baiyan brought the water over. Zhang Wanwan tapped the ground with her feet, shaking restlessly. She took a big sip of water and squinted her eyes comfortably. "Brother, tell me, what happened? You all look wrong."
Zhang Baiyan held his breath and told Zhang Wanwan about Huang Guilian's trouble. Zhang Wanwan's eyes flashed with contemplation. She tapped the water cup with her fingers from time to time and said in a relaxed tone: "I thought something big happened, but it's just a shrew making trouble. Do you think it's that serious?"
Zhang's father and mother looked at Zhang Wanwan at the same time. Zhang's mother even forgot to cry and shouted excitedly: "Is this a small matter? We have no contact with them for a long time. Why did she come here to make trouble? Why? Who does she think she is? I really hate it. Why didn't I just hit her on the head with a stick at that time!"
Mother Zhang gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot, it seemed that she really hated it.
Zhang Wanwan hurried forward to comfort her, "Mom, what are you doing? If you really beat her up, she will be wrong. Think about it, she didn't even bother to pay attention to us before. When we met, she would just walk away and pretend not to know us. She acted superior. Why would she come to trouble us for no reason? Or why would she go to our stall and cause trouble without caring about anything? Think about it?"
Zhang Wanwan knew that Huang Guilian was a very face-conscious person. She had always felt that their family was a disgrace and had not allowed Zhang Jianguo to have any contact with them. How could such a person do such an outrageous thing?
Zhang's mother really hadn't thought so much about it. After hearing what Zhang Wanwan said, the three of them were stunned.
"In my opinion, something must have happened to them, or something serious, such as endangering their work. Huang Guilian was guilty, so she naturally thought it was our revenge. But she couldn't produce any evidence, so she came to us in a rage. If I'm not mistaken, she should have gone to the old house first, but found nothing, so she went to Century Plaza. You don't have to worry about it. If there was any way, she wouldn't come to us directly to cause trouble. Now her desperate behavior shows that she is at the end of her rope. You should set up your stall. If someone really comes to mess things up, someone will naturally come to help. Don't worry too much."
After Zhang Wanwan finished her analysis, Zhang's father and mother were speechless, as if they were meeting their daughter for the first time.
Zhang Baiyan frowned and pondered, "Little sister, what do you mean by they are in trouble?"
Zhang Wanwan shook her head and shrugged. "How could I know that? I'm not keeping an eye on their family. It has nothing to do with us. Anyway, don't think too much about it. Look at what time it is. Why don't you go back and have a shower? I have to go to school tomorrow!"
Zhang's mother reacted and quickly pushed Zhang Wanwan back, and went back to her room to wash up. Zhang Baiyan sat with Zhang's father for a while before leaving.
The next day, Zhang Wanwan got up at six o'clock and started working in the kitchen. Because she wanted to cook porridge, it would be best to cook it for a while longer. After she put all the ingredients in, she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
At about seven o'clock, Zhang's mother and others got up. Zhang's mother and Zhang Baiyan were fine, but Zhang's father looked a little unwell. No one knew what time he went to bed last night.
"Come and have dinner quickly. I cooked seafood porridge for you this morning. I added scallops, shrimps, mushrooms and squid. It's absolutely delicious!" Zhang Wanwan called out while filling the thermos bucket.
Zhang's father and the others all knew that this was prepared for Leng Ziyue, and they didn't ask a single question.
While waiting for the porridge to cool down, Zhang's father simply picked up his cell phone and made a call.
The three of them stopped what they were doing and looked over.
As a result, no one answered the phone. Zhang's father called five or six times in a row, but the answer was the same. In the end, even he felt suffocated.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Baiyan looked at each other and said nothing. They ate and went out. However, they both felt that what Zhang Wanwan said might be true and Zhang Jianguo's family might be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhang's mother felt much better. She was not the type to take advantage of others' misfortunes, but she had a long-standing grudge with Huang Guilian, so she was an exception.
When Zhang Wanwan arrived at school, she put the thermos into Leng Ziyue's drawer while no one was paying attention, and then pretended nothing had happened and continued reading.
Lengzi seemed to sense something as he passed by, and accurately took out the thermos from the drawer, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "New?"
