Lost your fighting spirit?
Zhang Guoqing shook his head; he never intended to let the kids know first.
Anyway, we’ll wait until Ping’an and his brothers each get married and have children before separating.
Apart from the courtyard, there are also the assets they hold. He and his father-in-law alike don’t plan to entrust them early, but rather wait until Zhou Jiao is old and frail before dividing the estate.
Especially with Mr. Liu’s precedent, he is even more unwilling to see his three sons eventually sell off their heritage. In that case, it would be better not to give anything at all.
Zhou Jiao was amused by his idea, "You and Dad might be exaggerating, waiting until I’m old? My son won’t be a wastrel!"
"Your son won’t be, but what about your grandson? The future is still long, let’s just wait and see. Dad already said we’ll properly set some family rules when we have time."
Zhou Jiao smiled faintly, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, thinking so far ahead is pointless. But for now..." She said as she curbed her smile, her right hand tapping on the sofa armrest, "With Dad gone, big things are coming."
Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly, he was trying to change the topic to make her relax, but it seems unavoidable. "Why don’t you take leave for some time and rest at home?"
What kind of suggestion is this? Zhou Jiao gave him a side look, "Taking a high-profile long leave, and when things settle down making everyone suspicious?"
Zhang Guoqing patted her head, sighing, "Then be careful going to and from work."
Zhou Jiao pinched his hand, wrinkling her nose playfully, "Yesterday evening I saw the weather was good, looking at the sky I already divined our fate, we’ll be safe and sound."
Zhang Guoqing pinched her nose, smiled helplessly, "You..."
The couple whispered softly upstairs, while downstairs a group of kids rushed into the courtyard, shouting and laughing, making them glance at each other and smile.
"The son takes after you."
Zhang Guoqing nodded proudly.
"Mom, are you upstairs?" From the stairway, the sound of May 1st running up came, and upon hearing Zhou Jiao’s reply, a small figure immediately dashed in.
"Heh, Dad, you’re back."
Zhou Jiao picked up a handkerchief to wipe his face, "Hungry?"
"Not hungry, we played nearby in the village, the big brothers even traded with the old grandma for eggs, and shot birds to roast, we were very full."
Zhang Guoqing patted his little stomach, indeed, life was good. He smiled and asked, "Why sneak upstairs without your friends?"
"There’s something important, big brother asked me to tell mom first." With that, May 1st looked nervously at the door, lowered his voice, whispered, "Mo Xiaobei said her great-grandpa plans to take her and her big brother back to the old family for a visit, she asked big brother not to take us brothers out to play these days."
"Also, my buddy Little Worm said his dad won’t let him leave the courtyard. Big brother said since each of them whispered to us, there’s definitely something up.
He told us to pretend not to understand while he and Liu Yi play downstairs with everyone, then send everyone back while I come up to give you a heads up."
