If it weren't for my great-aunt, would my great-uncle have such a large business today?
You should know that after my great-aunt married my great-aunt, the Zheng family, out of respect for my great-aunt, kept giving my great-aunt some business opportunities to him. It was under the Zheng family's protection that my great-aunt was able to build the business she has today.
Back then, the Zheng family had made significant contributions to the founding of the nation.
Their family used two-thirds of their wealth to ensure the Zheng family's stable development.
Of course, the reason the Zheng family invested so much was not because they had a long-term vision, or because they were being purged.
Rather, it was during those times of national crisis that, if one did not support the country, it would become someone else's country. Therefore, the Zheng family stepped forward.
Zheng Shanshan didn't know much about what happened back then; she only knew some scattered information from her grandfather and the others.
While Zheng Shanshan was thinking about these things, the dishes were served.
After Zhang Tianle finished eating, Zheng Shanshan's eyes were fixed on him: "Master Zhang, are you full? If not, I..."
Seeing Zheng Shanshan raise her hand to call the waiter, Zhang Tianle shook his head: "I'm full. Let's go visit your great-aunt."
“Okay!” Zheng Shanshan immediately stood up and led the way.
After arriving at the parking lot, Zhang Tianle looked at the extremely flashy red Cayenne in front of him and fell silent.
He truly couldn't understand the world of these rich people at all.
Does he remember that the Zheng family lived in Northeast China, not Xinjiang?
When the Zheng family's little princess came to Xinjiang on a business trip, she bought a Cayenne for transportation, and it was even a limited edition. He was a little speechless.
"Master Zhang, let's get in the car."
Zheng Shanshan had no idea what Zhang Tianle was thinking, and instead invited him to get into the car.
After they got in the car, Zheng Shanshan complained to Zhang Tianle about the things that happened after his great-aunt married his great-uncle.
Zhang Tianle listened to Zheng Shanshan's complaints the whole way.
Even if Zheng Shanshan hadn't said anything, he would have already figured it out from her face.
Moreover, he knew more information than Zheng Shanshan did, and his information was more detailed and accurate!
After finishing her rant, Zheng Shanshan looked at Zhang Tianle, who had no expression on his face, and slapped her forehead: "Master, look at me! What did I just say? I'm afraid you could have figured it out even if I didn't say it."
After she finished speaking and gave an awkward laugh, she parked the car in front of a large manor: "Oh dear, we've arrived! Master Zhang might have to work hard later."
As Zheng Shanshan finished speaking, the door in front of them opened.
Zheng Shanshan's car was recorded in Anjia's epidemic prevention and control system.
As long as a vehicle is registered in the epidemic prevention and control system, the sensors will open the door for them immediately upon their arrival.
Zheng Shanshan stepped on the gas and parked the car in front of the hospital.
There were already servants waiting at the door.
After Zheng Shanshan and her companion got out of the car, she handed the keys to the maid and said, "Could you please help me park the car?"
"Miss Shanshan, it's my pleasure!" The maid took the keys and drove the car to the parking lot not far away.
Zheng Shanshan then beckoned Zhang Tianle into the main courtyard.
We've just stepped into the main courtyard.
They then heard faint sobbing sounds.
Zheng Shanshan's heart skipped a beat.
Really?
Could it be such a coincidence?
She just arrived at the An family home. Could her great-aunt have passed away?
Just as Zheng Shanshan hurried a few steps into the living room, she saw the entire An family sitting on the sofa, sobbing.
He looked as if his mother had died.
This is especially true of the three older men and one woman sitting on the sofa.
As for her great-aunt's three sons and one daughter, their foreheads were bulging with veins as they glared angrily at the two men and one woman.
They seemed to hear footsteps and looked up towards the front door.
When they saw Zheng Shanshan walk in, the two sons and one daughter of Zheng Shanshan's uncle's ex-wife changed their expressions, and what was originally a faint sob immediately turned into a wail.
"Oh, my dear little mother! Look how your own children treat you! They won't even feed you! You're so pitiful, my dear little mother!"
The woman stood up, wailing, and went to Zheng Shanshan: "You must be my niece, right? You probably don't know what your uncles have done! They're not letting your aunt eat! Are there any children like this in the world? They're trying to starve your aunt to death!"
“Absolutely! Although we sometimes have some issues with our stepmother, we would never do something so despicable!” At this moment, the two elderly people sitting on the sofa also stood up emotionally: “We brought food this time, hoping to give our stepmother a good meal, but these people stopped us outside. How can there be such cruel children in this world!”
"Look! Look! We really weren't lying. Look at the food we brought on this table!"
The oldest man, over sixty years old, pointed at the food on the table and complained to Zheng Shanshan, "This is all they want, and they won't even let my little girl eat it! My little girl is so pitiful!"
"Oh dear, my poor little girl!"
The old woman started crying again.
While they were crying, they kept glancing at Zhang Tianle and Zheng Shanshan.
They seemed to be trying to glean something from their faces.
They had already found out from the servants that Zheng Shanshan would be coming today, so they had been waiting for her since early morning.
They come in two shifts.
Their family members were waiting in front of them. Their family members had just gone home, and they were taking over the shift from them to continue waiting.
Now they're really trying to put a bad word about Zheng Shanshan.
They wanted to see if the Zheng family would still support these people.
Thinking of this, a mocking smile flashed in their eyes.
But his face still showed sadness and sympathy.
They seemed to feel so sorry for Zheng Shanshan's great-aunt.
As if to complement their performance, shouts suddenly rang out from inside, each one louder than the last.
"Food! I want to eat! I'm so hungry! You heartless bastards, why haven't you given me any food yet? Are you trying to starve me to death? Fine! I raised you with great difficulty, and this is how you treat me, not giving me any food. With such filial sons and grandsons as you, you're really going to make me die of filial piety."
The old woman's voice coming from inside was full of energy; she didn't sound hungry at all.
"Shanshan, you have to listen to our explanation. We did feed Mom, but she eats without restraint. She's already eaten two big bowls of rice and several dishes of vegetables. Even we can't eat as much as her. The doctor also said that Mom can't overeat; it's bad for her health."
Uncle An Yuezhong, the eldest son of Zheng Shanshan's great-aunt, explained to Zheng Shanshan with a wry smile.
