"I see. I think none of my four older sisters are worried."
"Hehe, you know quite a lot." Zhang Hongmei rubbed her fifth son's head. This was a shrewd one, the most astute of the brothers.
"Mom, will all my brothers come?"
"Yes, I called them yesterday and told them everyone to come."
The three of them were happy now, they had company.
When Zhang Shouyi returned home in the evening, he ate his dinner quietly. He was in a very bad mood that day. He had been searching for a long time but still had no clue. Sometimes he wondered if he was just making excuses for himself. Why was he like this?
Now no one in my family talks to me anymore. Is this a sign that I'm being rejected by my family?
Zhang Zhenye and Yang Yongjian were chatting in the living room when Yang Lijun went to the kitchen. The nanny had already prepared all the ingredients, so all she had to do was cook.
It's just the three of them at home, so they're all quite comfortable.
When Zhang Ruifeng and Tang Feiyan returned home, they found that the family was busy moving.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Song Yiqi took their hands and led them into her room. She then asked them to sit down.
“After you left this morning, your great-grandfather announced the division of the family property. Your grandparents were coaxed away by your second uncle and his wife, and the two old people moved out with them.”
"And they even wrote a written agreement for us, saying that from now on, your grandparents won't need our support anymore; we'll just take care of your great-grandfather."
"Mom, for my second uncle's family, writing a written agreement is no different from not writing one. If my grandparents really get sick in the future, they will definitely send them back." Tang Feiyan pouted. She knew their character all too well.
"Hehe, your great-grandfather also thought of this. All your grandparents' things were given to them, but they were all registered. If they don't take responsibility for the two elderly people in their old age, the things will be returned, and the house will also be taken back."
"Hehe, is Grandpa really angry?"
Song Yiqi glanced at Zhang Ruifeng and said, "That's right. He was really angry because he lost face in front of his great-grandson-in-law."
"Haha, finally I don't have to live with them anymore, Mom. I've never told you before, but Tang Feifei always steals my things. If I find out, I just borrow them. I've had enough of them."
"Alright, stop making such a fuss. The house is such a mess today, Ruifeng, your aunt feels really bad about it."
"It's okay, what time are they moving in?"
"No matter what time it's moved to, I'll wait."
"Auntie, how about this, I'll take Feiyan and my two younger brothers out to eat, and bring them back for you and Uncle?"
"Alright, you four can invite your great-grandfather too, so you don't need to worry about the two of us. I'll just make something for your dad."
Song Yiqi told the two children to go back to Tang Feiyan's room and wait until the two younger children got out of school. Then they invited the old man to go to a restaurant together.
Now that the old man has left, Uncle Tang's family finally mustered up the courage to start cursing and swearing.
However, they didn't go too far, after all, Tang Feiyan married well, and they couldn't afford to offend her too much.
Song Yiqi ignored them, but she didn't let them take anything that wasn't theirs.
Tang Xuepeng sat on the sofa with his head down. He didn't want to leave with his son's family. But if he did, his second son would have nothing left.
Knowing that it's impossible to rely on them for old age, but seeing that her eldest son doesn't say a word, she still feels unhappy.
Tang Shixian had long known about his parents' favoritism, but he didn't care; he was fine with his family moving out.
He didn't want to see his father like this, but he also had a wife and children. He used to always comfort them, but now that they were finally going to be separated, he would absolutely not be soft-hearted.
Zhang Ruifeng, driving the four of them, asked, "Grandpa Tang, what would you like to eat?"
"I don't have an appetite either, you can eat whatever you want."
"You don't need to do that. A big tree branches out. Shall we go eat something light?"
"You four don't need to worry about me. I can't eat much anyway."
"Grandpa Tang, I'll take you to a small restaurant. The food is exceptionally good. It's family-run and very clean."
"Okay, those two young men can't eat with me."
"It's alright, the stew there is even more flavorful."
"Hehe, that's fine then, let's go there."
Zhang Weiyu received a warm welcome from the Qin family, and he had a good impression of them. Their family was small, consisting of Qin Shuang, two younger brothers, and a younger sister, but all three children were well-mannered.
Qin Shuang cooked today, and Zhang Weiyu was very supportive, eating two bowls of rice.
In just a short while, he had won over the three little ones, who were now chattering excitedly around him.
Qin Shuang was a little jealous. She had been so good to these three people, yet they were even closer to this person she had just met than to her.
It was even more lively here in Gu Yaozu's area, as the Zou family had all arrived in the capital.
Their family has a refined air about them. Gu Yaozu didn't find anyone bad, so they got along well. It really depends on the family; a child raised in a family like that wouldn't be bad.
By nine o'clock in the evening, all four brothers had arrived home. Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo watched them return before going to rest.
"Mom, have my great-grandfather and grandfather been waiting for us?"
"Yeah, I was worried. I feel relieved to see the four of you back. You four should go and get some rest too."
Zhang Shouyi followed his wife into the room. He didn't know how to talk to her anymore, so he just remained silent.
This was the first time the couple had done this since they got married, and they were both a little unaccustomed to it, but neither of them broke the rule.
Zhang Hongmei had taken a nap in the afternoon, so she couldn't fall asleep. She also felt uncomfortable lying in bed, so she simply went to the study to cultivate.
Zhang Shouyi watched his wife leave, his heart filled with complex emotions.
How could this happen? Is this how we're going to live from now on? Absolutely not! But how can I break this deadlock? How can I stop my wife from being angry?
Zhang Hongmei didn't really think much of it. Seeing Zhang Shouyi so silent, she didn't know what to do.
Let's leave it at that for now. Time heals all wounds, so let's talk about it again later.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo were also awake, sitting in the study. "Xingguo, when do you think Shouyi and Hongmei will be able to make up? I feel uncomfortable looking at them now."
Zhang Xingguo was even more worried. "Old Gu, I really don't know what to do. But Hongmei is really angry, and it's also Shouyi's fault. What can we do if she doesn't forgive Shouyi?"
