Chapter 315 Come in a few days
Lobby.
"Wang Lin, what happened to Guihua?"
A group of Zhang family members who were chatting saw Zhu Lancui and the Wang family coming out of the bedroom. They were about to say hello when they saw Wang Lin coming over holding Zhang Guihua. They were startled and asked quickly.
Wang Lin explained: "Uncle, Guihua walked a long way from home to here, and cried for so long that she accidentally fell asleep!"
"What do you mean fell asleep? You must have fainted from crying!"
No matter this Zhang family uncle or other Zhang family members, upon hearing this, they all nodded with satisfaction and said, "Guihua, this girl's parents passed away early, and she was raised by her elder brother and second sister. Her elder brother passed away so suddenly, so it's normal for her to faint from crying!"
If you just fainted from crying, it's not a big deal and there's no need to worry.
Another uncle from the Zhang family ordered, "Lan Cui, take my uncle-in-law and his family to find two rooms to rest. We are here!"
Wang Lin refused, “Uncle, I will come over after I settle Guihua and our Dongzhu. Even if I can’t help, it’s fine to just watch from the side!”
"Row!"
Zhu Lancui and the Wang family were about to head towards their guest room when they came across an angry man in his twenties who was about to bump into Wang Lin. He quickly opened his mouth and shouted:
"Cheng Yong!"
Zhang Chengyong reacted immediately and stopped walking. Seeing the Wang family led by Zhu Lancui, he asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, uncle-in-law, why are you here?"
Wang Lin knew what Zhang Chengyong meant. He was not asking why he came, but why he came so quickly. He replied:
"When your aunt heard the great news that your father had passed away, she couldn't bear it. Of course she had to come over overnight. It's a pity that your aunt couldn't see your father for the last time!"
"It's my father..."
Zhang Chengyong wanted to say something bad about his father, but when the words came to his lips, he just couldn't say them. After all, his father had already left, so it was useless to say more. He greeted, "Aunt... What's wrong, aunt?"
He originally wanted to greet his aunt warmly, but was shocked to see that his aunt was held by his uncle and could not move.
Wang Lin explained: "It's okay, I fell asleep!"
"Fell asleep?"
Zhang Chengyong's face was full of confusion, until he saw the tears on his aunt's face, he suddenly realized and changed the topic: "Sister Dongzhu, this is your and Brother Ruhai's child, right? Have you named the child?"
Liu Dongzhu replied: "Yes, it's called peace!"
"Safety?"
Zhang Chengyong's face suddenly became extremely strange. He had never thought that his cousin Ruhai's child would be given such a name. You know, his cousin Ruhai was a scholar, and a scholar with official titles.
How can you choose such a rustic name?
Say.
But he knew that this time his cousin Ruhai was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. If his name was on the list of successful candidates, his cousin Ruhai would be soaring to fame, and the entire Wang family would also benefit.
This child is the eldest son of his cousin Ruhai. With a father like Cousin Ruhai, why should he care about such trivial matters as whether the child can grow up safely?
Liu Dongzhu noticed the weirdness on Zhang Chengyong's face and could probably guess what he was thinking. He explained, "I just hope this child can grow up safely. I don't care about anything else!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Dong Zhu is right. It is of utmost importance that our children grow up safely!"
Zhu Lancui glared at Zhang Chengyong. She knew that this guy was wild-minded. It was because he was already in his twenties and still hadn't married or had children.
Although the Zhang family's financial situation was not very good, her brother-in-law had great skills and could support the family without any problems, and she also had a relative named Wang.
Everyone knows that Wang Ruhai has made great achievements and is a promising man.
Success is just around the corner!
Their family and the Wang family are relatives. Before the Wang family became rich, their family took good care of the Wang family. Whenever their family encountered difficulties, they would ask for help from the Wang family - to be precise, they would ask Wang Ruhai for help.
How could Wang Ruhai not help their family?
Ever since Zhang Chengyong came of age, the threshold of their house has been almost trampled down by people, but this guy has refused again and again, letting everyone know that this guy is wild-minded, so everyone is too lazy to arrange a marriage for him.
It’s not that his parents haven’t pressured him, but he mostly just ignored it.
Zhang Chengze walked in from outside and saw Zhang Chengyong talking to the Wang family. He said, "Chengyong, you're back so soon. What did Second Aunt say?"
"Humph!"
Zhang Chengyong seemed to have thought of something when he heard this. He snorted coldly and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
Zhang Chengze's expression changed slightly. He knew his brother's character. He might be a little reckless, but he was still very respectful in front of his elders. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Brother, you don't know. I rushed to my second aunt's house and told her about my father. Guess what, she said she was busy with business recently and planned to come back in two days..."
Before Zhang Chengyong could finish his words, Zhang Chengze angrily interrupted him and asked, "Second Aunt, what's wrong? Can this kind of thing be discussed?"
"I think your second aunt is angry with your father. She thinks your father loves your youngest aunt and doesn't care about her!"
A member of the Zhang family interrupted.
"Nonsense, we all know the situation of Deben's family. Deben cares about Guihua the most. After all, when their parents left, Guihua was still young, and Deben acted as both a father and a mother to raise Guihua.
But if you say Deben doesn't care about Guilian, that's completely nonsense!"
Another member of the Zhang family retorted: "Not to mention the dowry that Deben gave Guilian when she got married, her husband's business capital was all borrowed by Deben, and even her business was able to flourish with Deben's help.
How has Deben let down their family?"
"How should I know this? If you want to know, wait for Guilian to come over and ask her in person!"
"Hmph, when she comes, I really want to ask her!"
"I'm afraid that when she comes, she won't even answer you when you ask her questions. Everyone knows that her family is rich and doesn't take us poor relatives seriously!"
……
Zhang Chengze heard the sarcastic remarks from all around him but did not say much. Firstly, he was angry at what his second aunt did to him, and secondly, those who were talking were all members of the Zhang family and his elders.
How can a junior like him be qualified to address the elders?
Zhang Chengze said with a gloomy face, "Second aunt, they said they would come back in a few days, why are you back like this?"
A funeral is not a business that requires bargaining. Zhang Guilian is his second aunt and his father's second sister. When his brother went to notify her and her family, he did not ask them to arrive tonight because he was considering their arrival.
His father passed away suddenly, and it's not safe to travel at night, so tomorrow is the best time to come.
Come in a few days?
Not only would Zhang Guilian be embarrassed, but her entire family would be disgraced.
