Early the next morning, Li Xiu Lian carried the meat to her parents' home. Her parents' home was farther away than Zhang Xinlan's, and it would take about an hour to walk there, so she left early.
Although Wu Guixiang only asked her to take one piece of meat back, the piece of meat was big, weighing four or five pounds. If she saved it a little, it would be enough to last her for a long time.
She was in high spirits as she walked towards her parents' home carrying the meat. Li Xiu Lian knew that her mother-in-law, although she looked fierce, was actually a reasonable person. She treated the three brothers in the family equally and never deliberately favored any of them.
Even if they liked Yunyun, they wouldn't feel uncomfortable just because they were partial to her. But Yunyun had contributed a lot to the family. Besides, who wouldn't like a daughter like Yunyun? Even she wished she had a daughter like her.
Li Xiu Lian was in a good mood, but Zhang Xinlan and Su Aidang, who were returning to their parents' home, were in a different mood. As they walked on the road, Su Aidang had a long face and said nothing. Zhang Xinlan, who was beside him, glanced at his face and frowned.
"Do you really have to look like that? When we get to my house later, they might think something's wrong."
Su Ai Dang snorted coldly, "How can I have a good face?"
"That's my family after all. How will they look at me if you act like this?" Zhang Xinlan was also angry.
"What do they think of you? I don't care what they think of you!" Su Aidang's voice rose. "You're taking the bicycle and not returning it. I'm carrying the meat here. It's a good thing your mother doesn't know about this. If she knew, let alone the meat, she wouldn't even give you a thread."
Zhang Xinlan lost her temper instantly when Wu Guixiang was mentioned. She stammered, "I didn't say I wouldn't return it."
Su Aidang looked at her and was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore.
When the two arrived at Zhang's house, it was already past ten in the morning. However, the Zhang family had not gone to work. The whole family was there. When they saw Su Aidang and his wife coming, they were all stunned.
"Lan'er, Ai Dang, why are you here?" Zhang was the first to react and asked with a forced smile.
Su Aidang smiled and said, "Mom, it's been a while since Xinlan and I came to see you. Isn't it time for me to come and see you?"
"That's great." Zhang said with a smile, "Come and sit down."
Su Aidang handed the meat in his hand to Shen Fen, "Sister-in-law, this is the meat I brought for you."
Chen Fen's eyes lit up and she quickly took it. It felt heavy in her hand and she estimated that it weighed about four or five kilograms. How could the Su family be so generous?
Shen Fen was surprised and happy, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
"I knew that loving the party is filial." Zhang also smiled happily.
Zhang Cheng, the younger brother of the Zhang family, and his son Zhang Hao looked at each other. She brought such a big gift when she came back to her mother's house. Maybe there was something else going on?
Zhang Hao's face changed when he thought of the bicycle parked in the yard. Could it be that his third aunt and uncle came just for the bicycle?
Zhang Cheng also thought of this. He pulled Su Aidang over and sat down with a smile on his face. "Come on, third brother-in-law, it's been a long time since we last met. Let's have a good chat today."
After Su Aidang sat down, he immediately winked at his son.
Zhang Hao immediately stood up and said, "Uncle, please talk to my father first. I have something to go out for a while, so I don't have time to accompany you."
He had to ride his bike away quickly.
When Zhang Xinlan saw him walk into the yard after he finished speaking and directly straddle the bicycle, she panicked instantly. She rushed into the yard and grabbed the back seat.
Zhang Hao was pulled so hard that he couldn't even pedal. He turned around and frowned, "Third Aunt, what are you doing?"
"No, Haohao." Zhang Xinlan forced a smile. "Is your bicycle still useful?"
"No, Third Aunt, didn't my mother and grandma tell me this last time? I'll return it to you after a while, when my affairs are settled." Zhang Hao's expression was obviously a little impatient.
Su Aidang stood up and walked into the yard with a sullen face. The three members of the Zhang family looked at each other, and quickly stood up and stood on Zhang Hao's side. The four of them blocked the bicycle tightly, as if they were afraid that Zhang Xinlan and Su Aidang would just snatch it away.
When Su Ai Dang saw this scene, his face darkened, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Zhang said with a forced smile, "It's nothing, I just can't return this bicycle to you right now. Ai Dang, you know our family isn't well off, and it's so hard for a girl to fall in love with Haohao, so we have to seize the opportunity."
Su Ai Dang was almost amused by Zhang's shameless words. He looked at Zhang and snorted coldly, "Mom, if the girl doesn't want to get engaged to Zhang Hao just because of a bicycle, then she's not attracted to him as a person, but to the bicycle."
"If the girl behind you wants four big pieces and thirty-six legs, where are you going to find them? We in the Su family don't have any more."
Su Aidang's words were merciless, and the Zhang family's faces instantly darkened and became ugly.
Zhang Hao looked at him and accused him, "Third Uncle, you are my uncle, how can you say that to me? Do you look down on me so much?"
"Zhang Hao, it's not that I look down on you." Su Aidang sneered, "Don't you know what you're like?"
Were the Zhang family's conditions bad? Compared to the Su family, they were indeed poor. However, all four of the Zhang family's daughters were married, and now there were only four of them. As long as they worked hard, they could live better than many other families. Furthermore, the four daughters of the Zhang family took good care of their parents' family. Although it was not obvious on the surface, they were actually living a good life behind the scenes.
The people in Zhangjia Village saw all of this clearly, but why was it still difficult for Zhang Hao to find a wife? It was because the Zhang family was selfish and famous for being lazy. Zhang Hao was not very old and had eaten well since childhood. He had never suffered any hardship. He was tall and had a good appearance, but he was a famous lazy man in these villages. Naturally, no one was willing to marry their daughter to him.
