Chapter 77: Snobby, Greetings
"Huang Guilian!" Zhang Jianguo roared, staring at her fiercely with wide eyes, scaring Huang Guilian so much that she took a step back.
"Why are you so fierce? Did I say something wrong? If you really cared about our brotherhood, why didn't you say anything when I was making trouble these years? Now that you see his child is doing well, you change your face. Do you think your brother and his wife are fools? You want to make trouble for yourself, but I don't want to be embarrassed with you!
"Wow, why am I so miserable marrying you! All these years I have worked so hard for your promotion, I have run around for you, smiled and gave gifts to people, and this is how you treat me?" Huang Guilian cried.
Zhang Jianguo reacted, his face turned dark blue and he said nothing, his eyes were unpredictable and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhang Nini came out of the room wearing headphones, muttering unhappily, "Mom and Dad, what are you arguing about again? Are you going to let me study hard? I'm about to take the college entrance examination!"
Huang Guilian immediately calmed down after hearing this. She wiped her tears, snorted coldly, and turned back to her room. Before entering the room, she reminded him, "So what if she is good at studying? In this society, without connections, everything is meaningless. Even if my daughter's grades are not as good as others, she has a good family background and a good maternal family. Her future life will not be comparable to that brother and sister!"
The door closed, leaving Zhang Jianguo alone in the huge living room, sulking. Although he was dissatisfied with Huang Guilian's dominance and sharp tongue, Zhang Jianguo had to admit that she was right. If he had not been attached to the Huang family, he would not be in this situation today. Now that he has made the choice, there is no turning back. Thinking of this, Zhang Jianguo sighed softly and no longer mentioned Zhang Jianye's family.
Zhang Wanwan and her friends got home at around 10 o'clock and slept until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. She was awakened by hunger. Zhang's mother really did what Zhang Baiyan said and didn't wake them up at noon. Seeing that there was no movement outside, she opened the door in her pajamas and came out, only to see Zhang's mother sitting on the sofa in deep thought. She walked over in confusion and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mom, what are you thinking about? Didn't you sleep at noon?"
"Do you think I'm a pig to you guys? I've been sleeping since I came back!" Zhang's mother nodded Zhang Wanwan's head with a smile, and said with emotion: "I was thinking about going back to your uncle's house this time. Your father and I always felt stressed when we went back before, but this time we are nothing but happy. We are finally proud of ourselves. Hey! Money is really important! I've made up my mind. I'll open the stall tomorrow. If you have time, go around with your brother and take a look at the residential areas in the city center. When the sales office opens, let your father go over to learn more about it."
Zhang Wanwan was completely awakened when she heard this, "Setting up a stall tomorrow? Mom? Do you want to work so hard? Have you discussed this with my dad?"
"What to discuss? We don't have many relatives or friends here. The only person your dad has a good relationship with is your Uncle Li, but he has gone back to his hometown and it's impossible for him to come to visit us for the New Year. We have long lost contact with other former co-workers, and it's impossible for your dad to contact them if they haven't taken the initiative to contact him. Not to mention me, I'm just sitting around at home doing nothing, so I might as well earn a few more dollars." Zhang's mother said as a matter of course. It was obvious that she had thought it over carefully. Zhang Wanwan couldn't persuade her and could only let her do as she pleased.
In the next few days, the Zhang family resumed their previous pace of life. After the third day of the New Year, there were more people on the street. There were many gatherings of young boys and girls during the New Year. Although most of the shops on the street were still closed, the Zhang family's barbecue stall business was extremely popular. Zhang's mother and others were too busy to handle it. The daily income almost doubled compared to before. Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan came to help for a few days. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhang Wanwan was still on winter vacation, but Zhang Baiyan was about to go to school. Fortunately, Zhang's father and mother were not as busy as the previous two days, so she didn't need to come.
Thinking that she hadn't heard from Leng Ziyue and the others for several days, Zhang Wanwan took out her cell phone and sent messages to several classmates.
(Leng Ziyue's dialog box)
Zhang Wanwan: Are you feeling better? Have you been discharged from the hospital?
(Dialog box of Cai Long)
Zhang Wanwan: How is your leg? Can you be discharged from the hospital?
(Luo Jingyun's dialogue box)
Zhang Wanwan: Little girl, what have you been busy with these days?
After sending the message, she ignored her phone and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. When she came back, she saw a little penguin flashing on the screen. She opened it and took a look.
Luo Jingyun: Ahhhhhhhh!!! ! ! ! ! You naughty girl, you finally found me! I wanted to ask you what you were doing these days! But I was afraid you were too busy to talk to me, so I had to wait for you to find me!
Zhang Wanwan: I didn’t have much to do except going to my uncle’s house with my mother on the second day of junior high school.
Luo Jingyun: Let’s make an appointment and go out for some fun.
Zhang Wanwan: Where to go for fun?
Luo Jingyun: You decide.
Zhang Wanwan: Then accompany me for a walk.
Luo Jingyun: Okay!
After making an appointment with Luo Jingyun, Zhang Wanwan opened Cai Long's message again. That guy is indeed recognized as a not serious person. The beginning was so ridiculous that he kept flirting with you through a non-mainstream photo.
Zhang Wanwan: It looks like you are full of energy again. Okay, I won’t disturb you. Go and have fun.
Cai Long: Hey, no, no, no! The college bully finally cares about me, can you please be more sincere?
Zhang Wanwan: Have you been discharged from the hospital? Can you go back to school?
Cai Long: I was discharged from the hospital on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. I had to stay in bed for half a month with a plaster cast. I don’t think my parents would let me stay at home so comfortably for half a month. They would probably let me go to school with crutches. Expression (crying)
Zhang Wanwan: So pitiful! If you need help when school starts, just let me know. I won’t disturb you. I’ve made an appointment with Luo Jingyun to go out.
Cai Long: Expression (envy, jealousy and hatred)
Zhang Wanwan pursed her lips in amusement and glanced at Leng Ziyue's profile picture. Seeing that he was offline, she didn't wait for any more news. She put on her down jacket, wrapped herself in a thick scarf, and walked out of the house.
When they arrived at the place they had agreed to meet with Luo Jingyun, they were both a little excited.
Luo Jingyun originally wanted to take Zhang Wanwan out for afternoon tea, but unexpectedly Zhang Wanwan dragged her around the city center. After only an hour of riding, Luo Jingyun couldn't stand it anymore. She shivered and asked, "Wanwan, have you encountered something unhappy? If you have anything, tell me and I'll help you. How dare you think of wasting time outside on such a day!"
Zhang Wanwan looked around and saw that there were many residential areas nearby. She explained to Luo Jingyun, "I'm fine. My parents are planning to buy a house and asked me to come out for a walk. They are busy setting up a stall now and have no time. My eldest brother has to go to school again, so I asked you to come along."
Luo Jingyun was stunned when she heard this, and then she was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? My cousin is a real estate agent, and he has already started working. Do you want me to arrange a date for you tonight? Let's go to your parents' barbecue stall to chat. Your parents are here too, so you can ask them in person if you have any questions. I'm not bragging, but your relatives always ask him to help them buy houses. My cousin and I have a good relationship, so if I ask him to help you, he will definitely do his best to help you, and he won't do it for nothing."
