Gu Yaozu also made a firm statement that he was absolutely on his mother's side.
Only Zhang Zhenye smiled gently, but his words only made Zhang Shouyi feel more embarrassed.
"We can't live without our mothers, but we can live without our fathers."
Zhang Xingguo felt extremely distressed. How had things come to this? Why were the children so resistant to Shouyi?
Just as Zhang Shouyi was about to say something, Zhang Hongmei came over.
She handed the documents in her hand to her sons.
"You can see for yourselves. Everyone is here today, so let's just make things clear."
As you all know, your great-grandfather is getting old and he's anxious, which I think the four of you can understand.
So we all hope you two get married soon, so that your great-grandfather won't have any regrets, and so that you yourselves won't have any regrets either.
Zhenye and the other three looked through the documents in their hands.
Gu Yaozu, the oldest, said the fastest, "Mom, Grandpa, I have no objection to this girl. I'll meet her when we get back from Liujiatun."
The other three brothers were quite moved. Their mother mentioned their great-grandfather, which meant that if Yaozu had married and had children early, the Gu family would have been born. This was probably what Gu Chuanming was hoping for most.
Zhang Zhenye put down the documents and said, "Mom, I have no objection. You can arrange for us to meet now."
Zhang Ruifeng had no objections; whatever his mother chose for him must be the best.
Zhang Hongmei looked at her third son, who was the most difficult to deal with.
Zhang Weiyu smiled and said, "Mom, I have no objection. It's good to meet. If we're not a good match, you can find me another one, right?"
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at her third son, thinking he was the one with the most cunning schemes.
"Alright then, we'll head back to Liujiatun tomorrow. We'll return on the day your ancestor's death anniversary is over, and I'll arrange for you to meet in the remaining time."
"Alright, you two go chat with your great-grandfather and the others. I'm going to rest for a bit."
Zhang Hongmei wants to spend her time with the elderly, who truly love the children and have given just as much as she has.
As the grandfathers and grandfathers watched Zhang Hongmei leave, Zhang Weiyu stood up and said, "Great-Grandpa, I'd like to have a talk with you."
"Alright, let's go back to the study." Zhenye and the others stood up and left as well.
Now only Zhang Xingguo and his son were left in the living room.
Zhang Shouyi rubbed his temples wearily.
"Are you satisfied with the current situation? Shouyi, is this what you wanted?"
"Dad, that can't be happening."
“What other choice do you have? You know Hongmei’s temper. She may seem gentle, but she’s very ruthless.”
"Yes, I know, I won't let anything bad happen."
"Dad, I'm going with my mother and the other eight of them tomorrow."
“We both went with her. I was afraid Hongmei wouldn’t come back. Sigh! What a tragedy, our good days have turned out like this.” Zhang Xingguo sighed after saying this, feeling that he had sighed more in this period than in the past twenty years.
Gu Chuanming, Zhenye, and the other two sat down in the study.
“I know what you want to ask. Listen to me, your parents will never get divorced, and your mother absolutely does not want you to get involved in that woman's affairs. Otherwise, she would never have allowed you to talk to your father.”
"Grandpa, are we just going to let this go?"
"Yes, of course not. I'll handle this."
You should know how protective your mother is of you, so just ignore this matter and spend some quality time with her.
"Yes, Great-Grandpa, I'm really not reconciled. This matter has left a thorn in my heart."
“Your mother is an adult now, you have to trust her.”
Okay, let's put that topic behind us and talk about your situation.
These four girls were all carefully selected by us, and all with your mother's approval. So, if you feel it really won't work out after you meet them, just say so clearly. You understand what your mother just said, right? She'd rather you not get married than have you hurt these girls.
The four brothers all nodded. "Grandpa, we understand. We will definitely get results before we leave."
Gu Chuanming was truly gratified.
But he didn't know that this incident left a shadow in the hearts of all four children. They all vowed to become strong and provide their mother with the strongest support.
Zhang Hongmei called Liu Jingze from her study, telling him to meet her at the airport at seven o'clock the next morning. She also called Er Ya and Liu Jingxiang.
Shi Tou and his family of three went straight back to Liujiatun. They estimated they would arrive tomorrow. Er Lengzi and his group had already set off. San Ya simply couldn't get away; things were at a crucial time there. Zhu Zi and his family of three were with her.
That means everyone in Liujiatun can be in place tomorrow.
After thinking for a moment, I called Hu Aifen. "Auntie, we'll be home by noon tomorrow. Yes, we'll all be going back. Zhenye and the other three will be home by noon today."
"It's okay, we'll be back by the 2nd at the latest, the 3rd. Why don't you come back with us?"
"I've introduced Zhenye and the others to potential partners, aren't you going to come back and visit?"
"Yes, I know, I know. I'll take you home after Zhenye and the others leave, okay?"
Zhang Hongmei hung up the phone, feeling quite happy; the old lady had finally agreed to come back together.
After leaving the study, he saw the father and son in the living room and instructed Ganlu to prepare gifts, as there were quite a few to take back.
The kitchen manager came over to ask for instructions, as all three young masters would be returning tonight, so the meal would be very sumptuous.
He handed the designed menu to his wife.
"Okay, that's fine. We have everything Xiao Wu and the others like to eat. But let's add a dish of mashed yam."
Once everything was settled, Zhang Hongmei prepared to return to her study.
Pushing open the door, I saw Zhang Shouyi sitting on the sofa.
"Wife, I'll go back with you tomorrow."
"No need. I think you're too ashamed to celebrate Grandma's anniversary. Just stay home and wait."
Zhang Shouyi never knew that his wife's words could be so hurtful.
“Wife, what is there to be ashamed of? I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
Zhang Hongmei stopped talking and let him do whatever he wanted.
Ignoring Zhang Shouyi in his study, he took out a report; many new projects had been submitted. He needed to review them quickly, as time would be extremely tight after returning from Liujiatun. Besides, time was money; being ahead meant more opportunities.
Zhang Shouyi sat to one side, watching his wife work diligently, as if he didn't exist.
He gave a wry smile, wondering how he was supposed to explain himself.
