Chapter 401: Love at first sight, Qin's mother's entanglement
Leng Ziyue automatically ignored his words and kept staring at Zhang Wanwan. He didn't let go of the third brother until Zhang Wanwan nodded. He was satisfied and let him carry her out.
A group of people got on the car noisily. As they watched the car drive away, Zhang Baiyan, who was standing behind Zhang Wanwan, finally breathed a sigh of relief and reminded her, "Those people have very complicated backgrounds. You should avoid associating with them in the future."
Zhang Wanwan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and said nonchalantly, "It's okay."
Seeing her attitude, Zhang Baiyan was speechless and went to take a shower in a sullen manner.
Zhang Wanwan was tired after a day's work. When she entered the living room and saw the table full of messy cups and plates, she still forced herself to clean it up.
As soon as Lao Er drove the car onto the road, Tian Sen immediately came to settle the score. He grabbed Leng Ziyue by the collar and asked, "Tell me! Why are you trying to steal my girl?"
Leng Ziyue glanced at him and slapped his hand away, "Speak properly, who is your girlfriend?"
"You're still quibbling! You clearly know that Zhang Wanwan is my partner, and now you're blatantly poaching her in front of me. Leng Ziyue, do you want to fight?" Tian Sen gritted his teeth, wishing he could stick his face against the other man's.
Leng Ziyue pushed him away with a slap and asked lazily, "Just a partner?"
"Otherwise." In a flash, Tian Sen seemed to understand something, and rushed towards Leng Ziyue with eyes wide open, "Tell me! Are you interested in Zhang Wanwan?"
Leng Ziyue looked at him calmly, neither admitting nor denying.
Tian Sen was stunned. "When did this happen? If I remember correctly, this is the second time you met!"
He really thought about it again and again, making sure that he had not missed anything, and found it more and more incredible.
Leng Ziyue snorted proudly, and said lightly under the dark sky: "Is it not okay to fall in love at first sight?"
"Pfft!" Tian Sen burst out laughing, as if he had heard a huge joke. "Brother, this kind of idol drama plot is not suitable for you! How can someone as frigid as you fall in love at first sight? You are not one of those second-generation rich kids whose brains are obsessed with sex."
Before Leng Ziyue could say anything, the second brother said, "Brother Tian, my eldest brother is very normal."
"That's right, you are the one who is sexually frigid!" The third brother echoed. Even though Leng Ziyue had bullied him just now, he still stood on Leng Ziyue's side.
Tian Sen was immediately amused. "I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously, okay? But by the way, aren't you worried about being hunted down again if you go out now? Have you dealt with those people?"
The second brother nodded and replied with a straight face, "Those who were chasing us were dealt with after leaving the cemetery, including their mastermind, the boss, who was also sent over to express his condolences. I think we can have some peace for a while."
Tian Sen looked at Leng Ziyue curiously, "Have you told the Huo family?"
"No, no, the boss will not easily find someone from the Huo family!" The third brother said proudly: "It's our boss who has the ability. We have developed a lot of forces abroad in recent years. Those forces have now slowly infiltrated the country. There is no need for the Huo family's help at all."
Tian Sen admired Leng Ziyue even more, but he couldn't say anything nice. Instead, he asked unhappily, "I don't know why you are hiding from the Huo family? They obviously care about you very much."
Leng Ziyue remained silent.
The next morning, Zhang Baiyan got up to work. When he arrived at the end of the village, he paid special attention to the expressions of the Qin family. Seeing that they were all normal, he was no longer worried.
After the busy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone was finally able to take a break. The house in the county town was almost finished, and Zhang's father kept a closer eye on it. After the National Day, the decoration of the house was almost finished, and the yard was still being tidied up. Zhang's father immediately took Zhang Wanwan to customize the furniture, and even the curtains had to be customized. Going back and forth, a few days were wasted.
Fortunately, Zhang's father didn't call her again later. When the first autumn rain fell in Pushi and the first northwest wind blew, the house in the county town was finally completely finished. Because there was still a smell of formaldehyde inside, Zhang Wanwan didn't think about moving so soon. Instead, she asked Zhang's mother and others to collect some odor-removing things and put them in, planning to wait until the first month of the year to take a look.
Mother Zhang took some time to go with Father Zhang. After seeing the new house, she became completely different. She was even happier than when she first married Father Zhang. She smiled at everyone she met and asked Mother Qin, "Are you going back to An County for the New Year?"
It's not that Zhang's mother asked unnecessary questions, but she has been with Qin's mother for a long time and has learned about the situation of the Qin family. The Qin family's house is in a village under An County, which can almost be said to be in the mountains. There are not many resources there. Those who can afford to build a house generally buy a homestead on the roadside or outside the county town, and rarely build a house directly in the village. As a result, the village is now full of old bungalows, and most of the people living in it are the elderly and left-behind children. The young people have long gone out to work, and their family is the same.
The environment of the old bungalow is not good, and they used to burn firewood and later coal. The kitchen roof has been smoked so much that it is unrecognizable. Not only is it dirty and messy, but there are rats and cockroaches crawling everywhere. The old couple doesn't think it's a big deal living there, but such conditions are too unfair to the children. After arriving in Xiqiao Village, Qin's mother sighed to Zhang's mother more than once, saying that the bungalow at the end of the village is much better than their old house. What's more, there is a kitchen and bathroom here, and the whole family can stay here, so they don't have to go back to celebrate the New Year.
After hearing what Zhang's mother said, Qin's mother was a little hesitant. "It's okay if you don't go back after getting used to living here. It's just that the family still has some land there and relatives are all there. I won't feel at ease if I don't go back. But if I really want to go back, to be honest, the old house has been uninhabited for so long that I don't know if I can clean it up and make it habitable for people to live in during the Chinese New Year. And it's only a few days. It feels too much trouble. Oh! I'm also in a dilemma. I guess I'll have to discuss it with the child's father when the time comes."
There is one thing Qin's mother didn't mention. The round trip fare also costs money, and she also has to give red envelopes to the younger generation when she goes back. It feels like going back is just spending money and has no other purpose.
Seeing that she was not very happy to go back, Zhang's mother said, "If not, then spend the New Year here. We are moving in the first month of the lunar year, so you can go over there to join in the fun. Usually, Lao Zhang and I start working on the fourth day of the first month of the lunar year. You can work if you want, or rest for a few more days. It's up to you. It's just more convenient to live here. And I have my own selfish reasons. Although it's the New Year, there are still people guarding here at night. If you go back, Lao Zhang will have to come over to keep watch."
Mother Qin heard this and immediately made up her mind, "In that case, we should just stay. There's nothing to do if we go back anyway. We have to clean up the house, which is exhausting. We have to leave after just two days. To be honest, my body and the child's father's body can't handle it."
