Chapter 614: Brothers United
In the afternoon, Steward Ding ran into the main courtyard excitedly, "The Third Master and Young Master Rongchuan are back."
Zhulan hugged Yuyi and said, "Little Yuyi, did you hear that? Your parents are back home."
Butler Ding then went to make arrangements, and soon, Chang Lian and the others arrived at the main courtyard. Zhu Lan looked at Chang Lian and the others, who had suffered a lot on the way and looked unhappy. "I hope you got home safely, it's good to be back."
Since this person didn't come back, she was worried about him all the time, and even plotted to make a move against Chang Lian and Rong Chuan because someone thought that the Zhou family had a successor. Even though Zhou Shuren seemed calm, he was worried about him in his heart.
Chang Lian drank the hot tea at home and finally felt relieved. He was finally home. "Mom, we are back safely."
Zhulan heard this and asked, "But what happened?"
Chang Lian was still frightened but he didn't hide it, "The carriage that Chuchu and I made was damaged. If it weren't for our Xiao Ding's good skills and Shen Xing's expert presence, Chuchu and I would have been injured."
He knew in his heart that this was directed at him. No matter if he was injured or disabled, it would be a huge blow to the Zhou family, so he did not dare to stay for a moment. Even if it was snowing heavily, he would hurry on, just to get home as soon as possible.
Zhu Lan was silent, so she took action against the Zhou family. She didn't know whether she wanted the Zhou Mansion to be a flash in the pan or to clear obstacles for Shen Yang. "It seems that you have attracted the attention of many people. You should be happy."
Chang Lian, "......."
He was indeed very happy, because someone attacked him because they hated him. However, this kind of thrill still made him afraid, because people only have one life, and once it's gone, it's gone forever.
Zhulan held Yuyi up, "Chuchu, stop looking at this, come over here and give me a hug!"
No matter how young a child is, he or she has feelings for his or her biological mother. When Chuchu just left, Yuyi, who was very easy to take care of, cried a lot and even got so angry that Zhulan had to call a doctor at home.
Now look, the little guy has been looking at his mother, and there is an invisible feeling between mother and daughter.
Chuchu had tears in her eyes, she was so excited that she hurriedly touched her body, and the coolness on her body disappeared. Then she carefully took the girl and hugged her soft little body, "Yuyi, I am your mother, and I am back."
The boy had feelings for his mother, but he still forgot about it. After struggling for a while, Chuchu tried to coax him, and after a while he became quiet and motionless.
Zhulan felt that they were mother and daughter after all, and that they had become obedient so quickly. She turned around and looked at Rongchuan. It had been almost a year since Rongchuan left. "She has grown taller and become a lot stronger."
Rong Chuan said, "I'm sorry to have caused Auntie to worry."
Zhulan curled her lips and said, "I'm not the only one who has to worry about this at home."
Rong Chuan's ears turned red, he coughed, and quickly changed the subject, "Auntie, Sister Xuemei brought you something."
Zhulan stopped teasing Rongchuan, thinking that the boy was shy. However, after not seeing him for a year, Rongchuan became more and more handsome, a handsome young man. He was even taller than Shuren. Well, it seemed that all the children in the family were taller than Shuren.
Zhulan asked about the two children's lives in their hometown, and felt relieved to know that everything was fine.
Zhulan looked at Chuchu and asked, "Are my mother-in-law and father-in-law all right?"
Chuchu paused as she patted her daughter's back. Thinking of what her parents said when she came back, she felt disappointed. "My parents are both fine."
Zhulan stopped asking when she heard this. She knew without even guessing that since Jiang Ming was no longer in the Dong family and her father-in-law had stepped down, Chuchu and Changlian must have been disturbed a lot.
Zhulan felt sorry for the children who were tired and some of them were frightened along the way, so she signaled them to go back and rest first.
Rongchuan returned to the yard, packed his luggage and took out the gift he had prepared for Xuehan, his brows softened.
Xia Mo smiled and said, "The young lady will definitely like the gift chosen by the young master."
Rongchuan smiled and said, "Okay, you should go home and have a look as well."
"Thank you, Master."
In the third room, Chuchu coaxed the girl to sleep. The bath water had been delivered. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she sat by the bed and stared at the girl in a daze.
Chang Lian came out after taking a shower, "Are you still thinking about what your mother-in-law said?"
Dong Chuchu took the handkerchief and motioned her husband to sit down. She wiped his head carefully and said, "I didn't think about what my parents said. I know you are worried. Although I refused, my eldest brother's temper and my parents are old, and my eldest brother's ears are always on my side, it is inevitable that he will not send the child over in the future."
So what if you refuse? Can you really take it away once it’s delivered to you?
Chang Lian patted his wife's hand and said, "If you can't avoid it, forget it. It's useless to worry about something that hasn't happened yet."
Dong Chuchu felt upset. She used to think that her second sister-in-law's mother held her back, but now she is being held back even more. "My parents have changed a lot."
Chang Lian saw it clearly. "Father-in-law and mother-in-law have become normal, but my brother-in-law's affairs still affected the Dong family. If it weren't for you, the Dong family might have been swallowed up by other families. Father-in-law is afraid that the Dong family will decline. Even though he knows that my eldest brother is plotting, he has to pretend to be ignorant for the future of the Dong family. Not to mention mother-in-law. With grandchildren and sons around her, it's inevitable that she will be partial."
Moreover, he didn't tell his wife that his father-in-law and mother-in-law also felt that his wife didn't like her uncle very much and were afraid that if they were far away, they would have less affection for him, so they persuaded his wife to bring a child from the Dong family over.
In the evening, the Zhou family had a reunion dinner. Zhou Shuren was really happy. Chang Lian and Rong Chuan had done more than he expected. He was very pleased. He finally wouldn't have to fight alone in the future. "Dad is very pleased with your achievements. Today I'll toast to both of you with a glass of wine."
Chang Lian heard his father's praise and felt that the fear along the way was worth it. "Dad, I will continue to work hard."
Rong Chuan held up his wine glass and said, "Uncle, you have worked hard over the years."
Zhou Shuren drank the wine and said with a smile, "You two will have to worry more about me in the future."
Chang Lian and Rong Chuan looked at each other and said, "Yes."
Zhou Laoda looked at Chang Lian with envy. He also wanted to help his father, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability. The only thing he could do was to help his mother manage the family business. Holding the wine glass, he said, "Brother, I offer you a glass of wine. Congratulations on your success. Brother also wishes you a smooth future."
Chang Lian stood up with his glass in hand, "I thank you for your blessing. I would also like to offer a glass of wine to my eldest and second brothers. You have always been the ones who have taken care of the family."
Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er drank the wine with a smile. Zhou Lao Er patted Chang Lian and said, "In the future, we brothers will work together for the Zhou family."
Chang Zhi answered, "We brothers each have our own strengths, and we should learn from each other for the sake of the Zhou family."
Zhulan sat next to Zhou Shuren, looking at her sons with a smile. They had all grown up. All the teaching and hard work over the years had finally paid off.
Rong Chuan smiled and said, "Brothers, take me with you too. A son-in-law is half a son. I, the adopted son-in-law, am also a son, right?"
When Xue Han heard Rong Chuan's words, she saw the sisters-in-law looking at her. She was obviously thick-skinned, but her cheeks turned red and she felt like smoke was coming out of her head.
The restaurant was quiet for a few seconds, and Changzhi said with a smile, "So you want to get married!"
Rongchuan was dumbfounded, and Xuehan wanted to crawl under the table.
Boss Zhou looked at Chang Zhi and swallowed his saliva. He knew that his fourth brother who used his brain was even more terrifying!
