Zhang Delong looked down on Yuan Chengzhu's family from the bottom of his heart, so when he was eating, his inner self-superiority was still quite strong.
What puzzled Zhang Delong was that his sister and brother-in-law were actually very polite to Yuan Chengzhu's family. The degree of politeness was beyond his imagination.
Seeing that Yuan Chengzhu's family was so welcomed by his own sister and brother-in-law, Zhang Delong felt a little unhappy, but for the sake of face, he had to endure it.
After lunch, Zhang Delong threw down his chopsticks and yelled at Yuan Fangmin, "Clean these up later."
Yuan Fangmin nodded subconsciously. Ever since he came to Zhang's house a few days ago, he had been upset by Zhang Delong. Zhang Delong would take out some banknotes and wave them in front of him from time to time, which made the young and energetic Yuan Fangmin lose his temper.
"I'll clean it up." Zhang Delong's wife knew her husband's personality and said quickly.
Zhang Delong's eldest sister saw this and quickly said, "These are all taken care of by us women. Xiao Yuan, please stay out of this. You guys can have some tea, chat, or even play mahjong."
Seeing this, Chen Yongying quickly offered to clean up the mess herself.
Zhang Qiuling's belly was already very big. She originally wanted to join in the cleaning, but because of her mobility problems, she had to give up.
Zhang Delong was quite unhappy when he saw the woman in his family took the initiative to block the arrow for Yuan Fangmin. He rolled his eyes and asked, "My dear, can you play cards?"
Yuan Chengzhu shook his head, "No."
"What about you two?" Zhang Delong turned his gaze to Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Fangtai.
Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "If Uncle Zhang likes to play, we can play with you."
Yuan Fangtai also nodded.
Zhang Delong grinned and turned his gaze to his brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, shall the four of us play together for a while?"
"Playing cards?"
"Play mahjong." Zhang Delong said without hesitation.
"Okay." People in Bashu like to play mahjong. It's almost the first month of the lunar year, and there's nothing much to do at home.
Soon, the table in the house was set up.
"How big is the game?" Zhang Delong's brother-in-law works in the town and his family is well off.
"Two dollars." Zhang Delong said without hesitation. As he spoke, he glanced at the brothers Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Fangtai out of the corner of his eyes.
"Okay." The two brothers also looked quite relaxed.
Soon, the sound of mahjong being rubbed could be heard in the room.
Zhang Delong's brain doesn't work at all in front of the brothers Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Fangtai. He basically relies on his boldness to play cards, while the brothers Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Fangtai focus on attacking the cards and calculate the cards in each person's hand very clearly.
After an hour, Zhang Delong actually lost dozens of dollars.
He was a little unwilling and even raised the bet from two dollars to five dollars.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Delong lost two hundred yuan.
At this moment, Zhang Delong, who was anxious about losing, seemed to have lost his mind. The more he shouted, the more he got into trouble.
By the end of the day around five in the afternoon, Zhang Delong had lost over seven hundred, of which his brother-in-law won over one hundred, and the rest was pocketed by the Yuan Fangguo brothers.
He lost both money and face, so much so that Zhang Delong was furious while having dinner.
After dinner, Zhang Qiuling carefully suggested to him that they go to Yuan Fangmin's house.
Zhang Delong was so angry that he completely forgot about the idea of sending his daughter away to hide during the Spring Festival and refused it outright.
When Zhang Delong's elder sister heard this, she immediately gave him hints and winked at him, but Zhang Delong didn't notice at all.
His attitude was very firm. It was almost the New Year, so why was he still running around? As a girl, she should still have some etiquette, morality, and integrity.
Seeing that Zhang Delong's attitude was quite firm, Yuan Chengzhu and his friends had no choice but to give up.
Because of Zhang Delong's stubborn attitude, Zhang Qiuling looked at her fiancé leaving with tears in her eyes and an extremely resentful look.
As soon as Yuan Chengzhu and the others left, everyone in the house opened fire on Zhang Delong.
After a while, Zhang Delong finally woke up from his dream. What if his daughter was pregnant at home and was seen by other relatives?
He felt an immense amount of regret in his heart.
However, there is no turning back now.
Zhang Qiuling wiped her eyes with tears, and Yuan Fangmin was also very sad. The two of them had originally discussed it and thought that Zhang Delong would agree, but in the end, they were ruthlessly separated.
On the way back, Yuan Fangmin was in a very low mood. He became silent and taciturn, although he was usually very loud.
Yuan Fangguo, who was standing by, noticed the third brother's thoughts. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. He guessed that he and the second brother were too harsh on the old guy in the afternoon. Otherwise, Zhang Delong would definitely agree.
"Mom and Dad, why don't the three of us not go back?" Yuan Fangguo said suddenly.
Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying were stunned for a moment, then Yuan Chengzhu said, "Boss, if you're not going back, where are you going to live?"
"I'm staying with my classmate."
"You three?" Yuan Chengzhu looked surprised.
Yuan Fangguo nodded and said, "Their family can accommodate us. Let's buy some New Year's goods before going back."
Yuan Chengzhu nodded, "Okay, then you guys be careful."
It gets dark early in winter, and it was completely dark when they arrived at the village. Fortunately, they had prepared flashlights long ago. Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying each took a flashlight, briefly reminded the children to be careful, and then walked towards home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Brother, are we really staying at your classmate's house tonight?" Yuan Fangtai asked with a frown.
"Do you think you can eat at a rich family's house?" Yuan Fangguo smiled. After he finished speaking, he stuck out his lips at Yuan Fangtai, motioning him to look at that idiot Yuan Fangmin.
Yuan Fangtai quickly looked at the third brother's face and saw that he looked dazed. He couldn't help but feel funny.
"Third brother..."
"Third brother..."
After shouting several times, Yuan Fangmin finally came back to his senses from his dazed state.
"what?"
"Are you still thinking about your Qiu Ling?"
"Get out..." Yuan Fangmin couldn't help but say angrily.
"Haha, let's go pick up your sister Qiu Ling and take her home tomorrow." Yuan Fangtai said with a smile.
Yuan Fangmin was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Brother, second brother, his father is very stubborn, almost like a wild bull."
"So what? Do you believe we have a way?" Yuan Fangtai said with a smile.
Yuan Fangmin thought about it, and suddenly he couldn't help but nodded.
"I believe it."
"That's right. Let's go to the county town. We'll go around tomorrow." Yuan Fangguo said as he started the car.
"Shall we have some midnight snack tonight?"
"good."
"no problem."
…
The three brothers laughed and joked all the way as they drove towards the county town.
