Zhang Xinlan nodded with a pale face.
Su Qingyun didn't say anything after hearing what she said. She said to her father, "Dad, I'm going to rest. Please help me divide the things in the bag. I bought fabrics for everyone and shoes for you. You can choose among them."
"good."
Hearing that she had bought gifts for her family, Wu Guixiang couldn't help but scold Zhang Xinlan again, "Yunyun even remembers to bring gifts for her family when she goes out to work, but you're so good as to lend out her things as if they were your own. You're such a spendthrift!"
Zhang Xinlan shrank her neck and dared not say a word.
At night, everyone in the family was asleep, but Zhang Xinlan was still tossing and turning, her eyes wide open, completely sleepless. She woke up Su Aidang, who was fast asleep next to her, and he muttered, "Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"
"Go to sleep now, go to sleep now!" Zhang Xinlan said impatiently.
Su Aidang opened his eyes and stared at her suspiciously, remembering the bicycle incident. "Did you lose your bicycle? Did you just lie to Lao San and the others?"
"How could I, a grown-up, lose something so important?" Zhang Xinlan said angrily, "The bicycle is really with my little brother."
"So what are you thinking about when you can't sleep here?"
"It's none of your business, just go to sleep." Zhang Xinlan turned to the other side with her back to Su Aidang.
She was extremely panicked. The bicycle was indeed with her younger brother, but she had lent it to his son, her nephew, for a blind date. If the match didn't work out, it would be fine. But if it did, how would her younger brother explain that the bicycle was not theirs?
She was filled with regret. How could she have been persuaded by her mother and younger brother's words? Zhang Xinlan knew that if she couldn't get the car back, Wu Guixiang would really beat her to death.
No, she has to go back to her parents' house tomorrow to ride the bike back!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xinlan fell asleep in a daze.
Early the next morning, she opened her eyes wide and rushed to her parents' home without even having breakfast.
When she arrived, the Zhang family was having breakfast. They were very surprised to see her. Zhang Xinlan's mother, Zhang, asked, "Lan'er, why are you here so early? What happened?"
Because of the bicycle incident, her sister-in-law Chen Fen was very kind to her, "Third sister, come and sit down and have breakfast."
Zhang Xinlan sat down and glanced around the room, "Where are my younger brother and Haohao?" Haohao is her nephew, Zhang Hao.
"The father and son went to town." Chen Fen said.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Xinlan asked. She didn't see any bicycle in the yard.
Zhang smiled and said, "Didn't Haohao go on a blind date yesterday? The girl fell in love with him. He and his father went to town to buy some things, and soon our two families will discuss the wedding date." She sounded proud, as if her grandson was a hot commodity and all the girls in the surrounding area were vying for him.
In fact, Zhang Hao from Zhangjia Village is indeed famous, but he is famous for being idle. He is a well-known lazy man in the village. This young man does nothing in his daily life. He has no job and does not go to work. Even during the busiest double harvest time, he can only earn half of the work points of an ordinary person. He spends all day thinking about how to take advantage of others.
Although Zhang Hao is only nineteen years old this year, he has long had his eyes on the girl he wants to see, and he specially asked a matchmaker to introduce her to him. The girl he likes comes from a poor family, but she is very beautiful. Although the bride price is a bit high, the Zhang family cannot refuse Zhang Hao. After all, the Zhang family only has this one grandson, and he is very precious.
"They're dating?" Zhang Xinlan was a little surprised, but she was also happy for her nephew. "That's great!"
"Haohao will be able to settle down after getting married." Zhang Xinlan said. She knew her nephew's personality very well.
Shen Fen was a little unhappy. Didn't this mean her son was not good? She couldn't stand it.
"Third sister, you only have one nephew, Haohao. When he gets married, you must give him a generous gift." Chen Fen said deliberately.
Zhang Xinlan didn't think much about it and said, "Of course."
Seeing that she agreed, Shen Fen smiled happily.
"But," Zhang Xinlan changed the subject, "Haohao's blind date was successful, so can I get my bike back? Yunyun from the third family is back, and she needs a bike to go to school."
So that's what they came for. Chen Fen's face suddenly became long and her tone became unhappy. "Third sister, so you came here so early in the morning to ask for a car. I thought you were really concerned about your nephew's marriage."
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, and Zhang Xinlan could hear it. She frowned and said, "Why wouldn't I care? Haven't you finished using it? This bike isn't mine. My mother-in-law scolded me yesterday. I have to return this bike."
Useless thing! Chen Fen rolled her eyes in her heart. She couldn't even control her own mother-in-law. It was a pity that her third sister gave birth to two sons, the most in the Su family. How could she not have a say at home?
"Third sister, it's not that I don't want to return it to you, but we really have no other choice now." No matter what Zhang Xinlan said, Chen Fen refused to give in. After all, the car was in their hands now, so what was there to be afraid of?
The smile on Zhang's face faded. With a bitter face, she began to play the emotional card, "Lan'er, you know, our family is poor. The girl only agreed to marry Haohao because he had a bicycle. If you ask for the bicycle back now, she will definitely not agree. Your nephew's marriage will be ruined. Can you bear it?"
"No, Mom." Zhang Xinlan said anxiously, "Then this car didn't belong to Haohao in the first place. We can't keep deceiving him, right? No matter how long we keep putting it off, there will always be a day to return it."
Isn’t this marriage fraud?
