Chapter 313 He is not my eldest brother!

Shizilin, Zhangjia Village, and in front of Zhang Deben’s home.

"Mom, my aunt's family is here!"

Zhang Chengze led the Wang family, holding lanterns, walking on the night road. They walked a long distance safely, crossing mountains and rivers, and it took a long time before they finally arrived at their doorstep.

"Osmanthus, you're here!"

As soon as the Wang family walked into the lobby, they saw a group of elderly people inside greeting them. They were all elders from the Zhang family. Upon hearing that Zhang Deben had passed away, they all rushed over from their homes.

Zhangjia Village is not like Hutougou. Everyone in Zhangjia Village has the same ancestor. After years of development, although most of them are beyond the fifth generation, the surname and bloodline are still there. They will lend a hand to any family in need.

Compared with Hutougou, Zhangjia Village can be regarded as a truly remote and poor mountain area. Zhangjia Village is located in a mountain valley. Generally, unless there is something major happening, government officials will not go to Zhangjia Village, and they have very few fields to cultivate.

Most of them make a living by hunting!
Zhang Guihua responded to the greeting in a trance and followed her nephew to her mother's home. Although she gradually accepted the reality that her elder brother was really gone, she was unwilling to believe it no matter what.

But for some reason, before she saw her elder brother for the last time, she still felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

Even she herself knew that this expectation was just her fantasy.

But since she cared so much about her elder brother, how could she accept the news that he passed away before her.

"Guihua, you still remember to come back. Do you still have a conscience? For so many years, you didn't even come back to see your big brother.

Now you don’t even want to come and see your elder brother for the last time. Did you know that your elder brother was still muttering your name when he was dying? "

An old lady who was much older than Zhang Guihua came out of a bedroom. Seeing the Wang family, she said in a bad tone:

"Is it because your son has become successful that he looks down on your elder brother, a poor relative? Don't forget how good your elder brother has been to you since you were a child!"

"Aunt Cao, my elder brother, my elder brother, is he really gone?"

Zhang Guihua trembled all over. If Wang Lin hadn't reacted first and supported her, she would have collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Even though she saw so many brothers and uncles gathered in the lobby of her eldest brother's house, and there were women running around, she didn't really get to see her eldest brother for the last time.

she……

Still couldn't believe the news that her elder brother was gone!

"Grandma Cao, you misunderstood. For so many years, my aunt has never come to our house once. Even this time when my father passed away, she didn't come to see him for the last time. Don't blame my aunt. It was my father's order!"

Zhang Chengze hurriedly stood up and saw that both Grandma Cao and the uncles and grandfathers in the hall obviously had opinions about his aunt. He knew that they had misunderstood and explained:
"Grandma Cao, you know what kind of person my father is. He has been a strong man all his life, but now he is paralyzed in bed and needs someone to take care of him. If it weren't for my mother's daily persuasion, my father would have died long ago.

According to my father, in the eyes of my aunt, he was a first-class hero. He didn't want his current miserable appearance to be seen by my aunt, and was afraid that it would affect his status in her heart. So over the years, whenever my aunt wanted to come to my house, he would ask me to find an excuse to stop her.

Even this time, even this time when he was almost dying, I was going to ask my aunt to come and let her see him for the last time, but he refused! "

"You know what? Deben has always been like this since he was young. He is a very stubborn person. He is capable of doing this!"

A member of the Zhang family interrupted.

"Guihua, my fault, I misunderstood!"

Grandma Cao looked at Zhang Guihua apologetically and said quickly: "Guihua, please go in and check on your brother. He was muttering your name until his death. He has only been gone for a short time, and his soul may not have gone to the King of Hell yet. Maybe he can see you for the last time!" Zhang Guihua nodded and wanted to get up and walk towards her brother's bedroom, but for some reason, she, who was usually full of strength, could not muster any strength at all.

I don’t know if it was because of the long walk up the mountain that exhausted her physical strength, or if she was unable to cross the threshold in her heart and accept the reality.

Zhang Guihua could only look at Wang Lin.

Old couple.

How could Wang Lin not understand what Zhang Guihua meant? He quickly supported Zhang Guihua and walked towards the bedroom.

Grandma Cao waited for Zhang Guihua to leave, and couldn't help but cursed Zhang Chengze in a low voice:

"You little bastard, don't you know who your father is? He loved Guihua the most since he was a child. I'm afraid that the first person he saw when he was paralyzed in bed was Guihua, otherwise he would not have been muttering Guihua's name until his death.

How come you don't know how to adapt at all? You secretly called your aunt over. Why did your father not see your aunt once in all these years? He couldn't even see her for the last time!

Are you afraid of being beaten by your father? "

Zhang Chengze lowered his head and said nothing.

Grandma Cao became even more angry and said, "I'm asking you a question!"

Zhang Chengze smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma Cao, do you think I haven't thought about this? Everyone in our family knows that my father cares about my aunt the most.

Over the years, everyone in our family wanted to find my aunt to come over, but my father said that if we found my aunt, she would see his half-human, half-ghost appearance and it would destroy his image in her mind.

He will starve himself to death, and even if he dies, he will never forgive our family!"

Grandma Cao cursed in a low voice: "This stubborn bastard!"

"Guihua/Auntie, Wang Lin/Uncle-in-law, Dongzhu, you are here!"

In the bedroom, two women of different ages stood by the bed. They were Zhang Guihua's sister-in-law and niece-in-law. When they saw the Wang family come in, they wanted to greet them warmly, but the smiles on their pale faces were uglier than crying.

"Sister-in-law, Lan Cui!"

Zhang Guihua responded like a zombie, and her eyes fell on the person on the wooden bed at the first moment. She seemed to have discovered something, and exclaimed, "This is not my eldest brother, sister-in-law, where did you hide my eldest brother?"

"what happened?"

The sudden sound startled the Zhang family members outside. The Zhang family members near the door hurried in. Zhang Guihua seemed to have seen a savior and said, "Uncle, this man is not my eldest brother. Where did my eldest brother go?"

"Guihua, this is your elder brother..."

Before Zhang Guihua's uncle could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Guihua: "Uncle, you lied to me. My eldest brother is a fierce and sturdy man. How could he be so thin?"

The person lying on the bed was covered with a quilt, so his body couldn't be seen, but his exposed cheeks looked very sick and thin, and he was obviously not a sturdy man.

"Guihua, look carefully, this is your elder brother!"

Zhang Guihua's uncle shouted loudly, like the sound of thunder, waking Zhang Guihua up.
