"Mom, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go to the city to look for my eldest brother? Why are you crying again?"
Bai Yanniang's uncontrollable crying stunned the father and his two sons who were waiting at home.
"Don't mention that useless guy. Leave me alone and let me cry for a while."
When she was in the county town, Bai Yanniang was afraid that the security department would arrest her, so she kept holding back and didn't even dare to cry. Now that she was home, she wanted to have a good cry and vent.
She didn't stop crying until she was tired, and then she slowly sobbed to adjust her mood.
"Head of the family, I can no longer rely on my eldest son, and don't even think about moving to the city to retire in the future."
As soon as she said a word, Bai Yanniang's tears fell again.
"He dares! Did he say anything to you today? Don't be afraid. If he dares not support us, I will go to his factory and make a scene. Let everyone in the factory know that he is an unfilial son. Let's see if he still has the face to live."
When Zhang Xiangdong heard that he could not live in the city to retire, he cried out in panic.
Moving to the city to retire and become city dwellers is the common wish of the couple.
"No, Boss, I didn't see my eldest son today. He hasn't been to work for three days..."
Bai Yanniang paused after a few words, cried a few times after a few words, and under the urging of the father and his two sons, she finally finished telling the story in a disjointed manner.
"It's over. We worked so hard, thinking that he would help us when he became successful. How could he do such a thing?"
"Mom, it's all your fault. You spoiled him since he was a kid, and that's why he developed such a lawless character.
Now that he has gone from being a worker to a criminal, how can we both talk about our wife from now on?"
After Zhang Xiangnan got into trouble, Zhang Xiangdong's family lost external support and had to rely on the whole family to support Zhang Xuguang. The two younger children were often brainwashed by their parents.
Now, all my expectations have been dashed. I have worked so hard for so many years, but I haven’t seen any rewards, and there is even a criminal in my family.
"Mother, are you telling the truth?"
For a moment, Zhang Xiangdong could not accept this cruel reality.
"Is this true? I can't put the blame on my own son, can I? I was watching when the stolen goods were found in his rented house.
The factory leaders also said that they would investigate whether we had anything to do with this matter.
"Boss, if the factory sends someone to investigate and everyone in the village knows about this, how are we going to survive?"
At this moment, Bai Yanniang could no longer care about her eldest son, and was only thinking about herself.
"Don't worry about your reputation right now, just save your life first, and don't let anything get us involved.
Isn't Zhang Shuguang a regular employee at the machinery factory? I heard he's even a cadre, so maybe he can have some say.
That kid has a grudge against us, so asking him directly won't work. We have to ask my dad about this."
After all, Zhang Xiangdong is just a farmer. He has devoted all his energy to scheming against his family. He has no way to deal with the machinery factory.
"The head of the family is right. Go and ask your parents-in-law for help. You are their eldest son. They can't just ignore us!"
This was the first time in three years that Bai Yanniang called the old couple "grandfather-in-law and mother-in-law". She had always called them "old fools" before.
"Dad, what are you still standing there for? Go quickly! Once the people from the factory get here and the news spreads throughout the village, we'll definitely not be able to find a wife.
Boss, you can't count on us anymore. You'll have to rely on us for your retirement. You better be aware of this!"
Zhang Chenguang and Zhang Shengguang urged impatiently.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Shouldn't I find a reason to slowly ease the relationship?
Tomorrow when we go to work, you two brothers, follow me and show some respect to your grandfather.
No matter what work your grandfather assigns, we should all do more and do it for him so that he won’t get tired.”
He knew clearly what he had done, and he had deeply hurt the old couple's hearts.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so ruthless this time, not only refusing to accept his own mountain products but also beating up his two grandsons.
In the afternoon, Zhang Shuguang did not go out and built a stove at home with his grandfather.
Zhang Shengli was also busy, handing out materials and tools.
The two stoves are built side by side, which makes cooking more convenient.
After building the stove, Zhang Shuguang took his younger brother and some clean clothes to the river to wash off the sweat.
After returning home, Zhang Shuguang hung the washed clothes in the yard.
"Brother, are we still going to my aunt's house today?"
The little guy is still thinking about visiting relatives.
"Go, your eldest cousin has a daughter. You haven't seen her yet. Go and see her today."
Zhang Shuguang carried the backpack back to the house, and when he came out, the backpack was stuffed full.
"Grandson, we can't finish all the bacon at home. Do you want to send some to your aunt?"
The old lady's anxiety made Zhang Shuguang feel sad.
He knew that his grandmother must feel that everything in the house was bought by her grandson, and she didn't have the confidence to support her daughter's family.
"Grandma is really thoughtful. I hadn't even thought of that just now.
Grandma, I also brought food to my aunt's house, and milk powder and malted milk for my little niece.
We also have White Rabbit candies and canned yellow peaches. What else do you need?"
Zhang Shuguang spoke in a negotiating tone.
He wants to subtly influence his grandparents and let them know through his actions that elders are elders and they always have a say in this family.
"Too much! Too much! Grandson, just some food is enough. There's no need to send so many things."
The old lady said this, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
