Chapter 235 Purpose

Zhang Datie's family stood out among the guests who stayed.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan looked at each other, but neither of them asked. If Zhang Datie's family really had something to say, they would definitely wait until all the guests left before telling them.

Now Li was no longer needed to help entertain the guests, so she went to help clear the table and plates.

Zhulan needed to entertain the female relatives, so Zhu sat in the corner. When she saw Zhulan looking over, Zhu was not flustered at all and did not join in the conversation. Her hands were also busy, as she kept eating snacks, as if she had not eaten enough at the table just now.

Zhulan ignored Zhu and greeted Zhou, Wang, and her in-laws with a smile.

Zhou Wangshi also saw Zhushi, but she was a guest, so she couldn't ask on behalf of Yangshi. Yangshi didn't say anything, so she didn't pay attention to Zhushi anymore. She said, "We won't be in the same village anymore, so it will be hard for me to come and chat with you."

Zhulan smiled and said, "It will be the same if I come back to the village more often to chat with my aunt in the future."

Her daughter is still in Zhoujia Village. The two villages are not far away, so it is very convenient to travel back and forth.

Zhou Wang liked to talk to Yang, and Yang listened to her. "Auntie, remember this. If you don't come, I will come to your house to talk to you."

"Don't worry, auntie. I will keep my word and will definitely go back to chat with you. However, after I go to Pingzhou, I think it will be difficult for me to come back. Don't blame me for my words."

Mrs. Zhou Wang thought to herself that she had never thought that Zhou Shuren's family would be in such a good place a year ago. Look at the people who came today. They are basically all well-known people in the county. The gifts alone have piled up on the table. She really envied them. "When the time comes, Auntie won't blame you. However, when Auntie goes to Pingzhou, you must entertain Auntie."

"It's natural."

In the main hall, Zhou Shuren was also chatting. The Zhou clan members were happy that Zhou Shuren was doing well. The better Zhou Shuren developed, the more benefits the clan would get in the future. The guests who came today were enough to make them proud.

Zhou Shuren didn't have many opportunities to speak. Most of the time he just watched others chat and silently sympathized with Li's family. It didn't take long for these old foxes from the Zhou family to be trapped. Look at the way the Zhou family members looked at the Li family and the others. Smart people like stupid ones!

The Yang brothers served as the background. They looked at each other and decided to stay away from the Zhou family in the future. These people were too cunning.

Zhang Datie lowered his head and drank tea with his mouth twitching. The people of Zhou family were not easy to deal with. Their own clan leader was afraid of Zhou clan leader. Sometimes they would rather take a detour than meet Zhou clan leader.

Zhang Datie thought that the Zhou family was just full of cunning people. They were too cunning to concentrate on their studies, otherwise the Zhou family would have become a big family long ago. But now it seems that the Zhou family is about to rise.

Rongchuan was feeling very complicated in the main hall. He had noticed that his parents had come a long time ago. He was nervous and worried that they would make a noise and ruin today's banquet. Unexpectedly, his parents had no intention of making a noise at all. Not only did they bring gifts, they also made sure that his brother did not make any noise, so that he could have a peaceful meal.

But he had no intention of leaving. He kept staring at his father, and could not see anything from his father's face. But his intuition told him that something big had happened when his father came.

Chang Lian was tired for Rongchuan. Rongchuan had been tense and on guard all the time. He initially resisted Rongchuan, his cheap brother-in-law, for fear that he would take up his resources. Later, his father used Rongchuan to temper his temper. As time went on, he realized that everyone has a heart, and he was one too. His cheap brother-in-law cared about him a lot, and later he had a different perspective and began to treat him like a brother.

He felt a little sorry for his cheap brother-in-law. It was not easy for him to be alive at such a young age. He had been raised at home for almost a year, but he hadn't grown much. Seeing Rongchuan nervous, he patted Rongchuan on the back and said, "Relax, don't worry about anything, we have our father!"

Rongchuan blushed. He and Xuehan were engaged, but he had always called him uncle. Although he really wanted to call him dad, after hearing Changlian say this, he was happy that Changlian accepted him, but he became shy again.

Chang Lian realized belatedly what he had said and felt a toothache. Even if he accepted Rongchuan, Rongchuan would not marry his sister yet. He looked at his mouth and was really careless. He still needed to practice more.

Seeing that it was getting late, the table was cleared, the dishes were washed, and the kitchen was tidy.

Zhou Shuren stood up and took the curious relatives around, and Zhulan also followed behind with her people.

After the tour, everyone was enlightened. The Zhou family members left with satisfaction, and the Li family also went back.

Several uncles of the Li family came today, as well as the Lizheng family from Lijia Village. They all have vested interests in this matter, and they all brought valuable gifts when they came.

At the Yang family, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren personally saw them off. Zhulan gave most of the unused pork to her eldest and second brothers' homes, and gave the cloth received as gifts to her eldest and second sisters-in-law. Zhulan also gave enough cloth to make a set of clothes to each of her nieces-in-law as a thank you.

The grandchildren of the Yang family did not want to leave, so Zhulan tried to keep them there, but it was useless. They were still forcefully carried to the ox cart by their mothers. Zhulan could still hear her nephew crying after the cart had gone a long way. He must have been slapped.

Zhou Shuren let out a long sigh, "Finally, I can be quiet now. It's been so noisy today that my head hurts."

Zhulan supported Zhou Shuren, "Your back and waist must be hurting more. You've been sitting for almost a whole day. I don't think you can bear it."

She really admired Zhou Shuren. This man was very tough on himself. Zhou Shuren's success was not an accident. It was the result of his hard work.

Zhou Shuren didn't care about his face anymore. He was just exhausted. He took a breath and said, "Don't say it. My lower back hurts even more after you said it. It seems that even if I apply the medicine, I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Zhu Lan was so distressed that she said, "I'll take you back. Leave Zhang Datie's family affairs to me."

Zhou Shuren waved his hands, "Zhang Datie won't tell me if he can't see me. I'm fine and can hold on for a while."

Boss Zhou wanted to go forward to help his mother support his father. He really admired his father. He didn't even notice that his father was feeling unwell today.

Zhou Laoer quickly grabbed his eldest brother and lowered his voice, "If you come forward at this time, do you believe that Dad will remember you in his heart?"

Boss Zhou retracted his outstretched hand and said, "Thank you, brother."

Zhou Laoer didn't say anything, not because he was trying to help his eldest brother, but because he didn't want to be held accountable by his father. He suddenly realized that his father now liked to punish everyone together, and no longer punished his eldest brother alone. This realization made him sad, and he glared at his eldest brother. His eldest brother was so useless, why did his father give up on him? If his eldest brother insisted, his father would not punish everyone indiscriminately.

Boss Zhou, "........"

Don't think he didn't see the disgust. He is not blind. The younger brother is indeed the most annoying thing.

Chang Lian was eager to learn more, and felt that he had learned something from his father today. He was excited, and his father was indeed the best.

Zhulan helped Zhou Shuren back to the main courtyard. When they reached the door, Zhou Shuren no longer needed Zhulan's support. Zhang Datie and his family were sitting in the main hall, waiting for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren!
