Zhang Hongmei stared blankly at Wang Ying as she stormed out, then burst into laughter.
No matter what kind of woman she is, she still cares a lot about her age and appearance.
Liu Jingze watched Zhang Hongmei with doting eyes.
Seeing Wang Ying come out, Zhang Shouyi immediately handed Xiao Wu to Zhenye and hurried to the study, because he couldn't let Liu Jingze and his wife be alone together.
Zhang Hongmei glared at Zhang Shouyi as he rushed in.
"Brother Zhang, you've come at the right time. I have some plans to discuss with you."
The three then discussed in detail the private donations for nursing homes and orphanages.
Zhang Shouyi knew his wife had a lot of money, more than the national treasury, and it wasn't unreasonable for her to use that much for good deeds. However, the thought of having Liu Jingze in charge, giving him all the credit, made him uneasy.
However, he didn't say it aloud; this was something he and his wife would have to discuss in detail that night.
It was already 3 p.m., and the three little ones couldn't resist the call of sleep. Even though they were unwilling, they fell asleep.
Cheng Guangxu and his family of five went back, while Liu Jingze had Chengzi escort Liu Jingxiang and his two sons back. There were still many details to discuss here.
Wang Ying and her family of three still brought back a lot of braised pork and stewed meat.
They've been married for ten years, and Wang Ying's cooking skills remain as poor as ever. Zeng Zhongkang can cook now, but his skills are just average. So every time they come here, they bring back a lot of cooked food. Otherwise, Zhiyu protests.
The three of them made dumplings together that evening. "Zeng Zhongkang, Hongmei is planning to build a nursing home, which will later become an orphanage."
"Aren't there orphanages?" Zeng Zhongkang asked.
"Yes, Hongmei is planning to build a private one. I'll call them tomorrow and let them make their own plans first. Hongmei isn't short of money, so if it doesn't work out, we can do both at the same time."
"This is a good thing."
"That's a good thing. I really admire Hongmei. This is no small amount of money, but she doesn't hesitate to spend it."
"Hehe, do we have enough money to build an orphanage? If so, let's donate one."
"That's enough. Your dividends over the years, your bonuses, and my bonuses are enough for both orphanages."
"Let's stick with one school for now, and talk about it again in a few years. There will be plenty of opportunities to make contributions in the future."
"Okay, I understand."
Zeng Zhongkang watched his son making dumplings, which looked better than both of theirs. "Zhiyu, what do you think? Do you agree?"
Zeng Zhiyu looked up at his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, you don't need to test me. After so many years of studying, I know right from wrong and have a correct outlook on life."
If you want to donate, of course I have no objection.
Our master taught us that when one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides.
As for the money, that's yours; I'll earn my own money later.
Wang Ying and Zeng Zhongkang were incredibly pleased; their son had been raised so well. If things continued like this, their son would surely become a great and upright man.
"Good, that's how my son should be. Dad is proud of you."
The three of them were happy. Zhiyu was, after all, a child, and of course he was happy to receive praise from his parents.
Liu Jingze stayed for dinner that evening. He didn't leave until after nine o'clock, and Zhang Shouyi and Liu Jingze talked for a long time in the study.
Zhang Hongmei didn't ask any more questions. She really didn't want to worry about it anymore. More than ten years of comfortable life had made her unwilling to put in any effort.
The couple lay in bed, but Zhang Shouyi wouldn't let up, and Zhang Hongmei was simply too exhausted.
"Wife, why do you always think of Liu Jingze when there are good things happening in your life?"
Zhang Hongmei was furious, seething with jealousy. After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Because he's family, because I trust him, because he's capable. Is that an acceptable answer?"
Zhang Shouyi lay flat on the bed and said, "Wife, I'm jealous. I get jealous even when you talk to him."
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and faced away from Zhang Shouyi.
"Wife, wife, I'm really jealous," Zhang Shouyi said, kissing his wife's smooth back.
The next day is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and people will be coming to wish Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo a Happy New Year. So the house will be as lively as ever today.
Since Xiao Wu and his family didn't hold a banquet, those who came to pay their respects today brought gifts for the children.
Zhao Changlong's loud voice didn't scare the children; instead, it made them all look at him with curiosity.
"Old man, can I take care of these three lads for a few days?"
"You're asking for it, don't drag me into it. Go and talk to Shouyi yourself." Gu Chuanyi glanced at the roughneck.
Zhao Changlong was speechless. He really couldn't tell Zhang Shouyi, but he also really liked these three boys.
The children from all three families came today. They were already very familiar with Zhenye and his three brothers on the mountain, which was actually a way for them to train their own subordinates. So, as soon as the nine of them arrived, they went to the training room with Zhenye and his brothers.
Zhang Ruifeng stretched his arms and legs, "Let me see what you've accomplished in the past year."
The nine men didn't stand on ceremony and all took off their cotton-padded coats. "Zhang Lao Er, don't be so arrogant. Now let us see if you've regressed in the past year."
They were all rubbing their hands together, itching to get started. Zhang Weiyu looked at these idiots speechlessly; they couldn't even calm down during the New Year.
Zhang Weiyu approached Zhang Zhenye and said, "Boss, shall we go and bring Xiao Wu and the others over to watch the show?"
"Alright, go ahead. See how Xiao Wu and the others perform."
Zhang Weiyu was carrying Xiao Wu, followed by the nanny carrying Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. Zhang Zhenye took Xiao Qi from her, and Gu Yaozu was carrying Xiao Liu.
"Bring over the dining chairs for the three of them," Zhang Zhenye instructed the nannies.
The ten people on the field began their warm-up exercises, but their mouths had already exchanged hundreds of blows.
"Little Fifth, we can't go out to play during the New Year, how about we watch a play instead?" Zhang Weiyu teased his fifth brother.
Xiao Wu clapped enthusiastically, his face beaming with excitement.
"I'm telling you, don't embarrass yourselves. I've specially invited some top-tier audience members for you, so you'd better put on a good show."
After the dining chairs were delivered, the three brothers did not put down the younger brother.
The game started, and Zhang Ruifeng was incredibly arrogant. It made all nine of them want to gang up on him.
However, with them taking turns, it should be tough enough for him.
Zhang Weiyu explained things to Xiao Wu in his arms, but seeing the little guy's excited expression, he felt very disappointed. Had he taken after his second brother? Why wasn't he like him? Why was he so combative?
Zhang Ruifeng truly had the right to be arrogant. Each person was taken down by him in just a few minutes. Even by the fifth one, he was sweating profusely.
"Second brother, leave the remaining three to me?" Gu Yaozu called out from the side.
"No need, we have to win this round no matter what."
