Chapter 443: Chapter 335: Breaking Out in a Cold Sweat from What I Heard

The next day at noon, the family was having lunch. A knock on the door came from outside, and Zhang Guoqing gestured for everyone to continue eating as he got up to open the door.

Standing outside were Zhang the Second and his wife, accompanied by Shi Tou and Mai Sui, holding baskets in their hands.

"Why is your house locked now? Have you eaten yet?" Zhang the Second asked as soon as he saw him.

Zhang Guoqing quickly ushered them in, laughing, "Come in quickly and have some. Father and Mother were just talking about you. Second Sister-in-law, why are you carrying a basket? Don’t tell me you’re delivering food again?"

"It’s nothing special. Are Father and Mother inside? We have something to discuss with you." Lin Juhua replied with a smile.

The group entered the kitchen, and Zhou Jiao invited them to join the meal. Zhang the Second promptly refused, saying they had just eaten at the cafeteria, and there’s no need to stand on ceremony among brothers.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Mr. Zhang put down his chopsticks and looked at the Second Son.

"Father, finish eating first. What I need to say isn’t urgent."

"Don’t waste time. If you’re not in a rush to get back to work, why bring the whole family over? Speak up." Mr. Zhang said with a smile.

Zhang Guoqiang chuckled and gestured towards Lin Juhua.

Seeing this, Lin Juhua quickly sat up and said, "Father, Xiao Shitou has become an accountant, and my brother-in-law’s father is coming down in the next couple of days. They had a family quarrel this morning, and his mother collapsed again, just as they plan to send her to the county. Apart from the eldest, everyone else has run back home and disappeared. Seeing things were not right, I quickly came to find the children’s father. Do you think we should send a message to Big Sister’s family?"

Mr. Zhang nodded but didn’t say what should be done, then asked, "Is there anything else besides this?"

"Yes. Old Captain wants Xiao Wu to return this weekend. When I asked what it was about, he said it was good news but didn’t say anything else. Big Uncle and Little Uncle also want Xiao Wu to return home, saying after visiting Beijing, he should come back and give an update. Nothing else is up; everything at home is fine."

Mother Zhang, listening, laughed and said, "Xiao Wu should indeed return. Just say he isn’t working this weekend, and we’ll all go back. Children’s Father, do you think we should go and talk to Chunming?"

Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Zhang the Second’s family did well! Since we know about it, we should inform Mei Hao and have them return home quickly; at least they should take her to the hospital first. Regardless of their family situation, our family cannot produce unfilial descendants. Children’s Mother and I will first go to Mei Hao’s house. Jiao Jiao can take care of home."

Zhou Jiao quickly assured him not to worry, secretly feeling troubled for Zhang Meili. Poor Big Sister, enduring again. She looked at Zhang Guoqing to see him subtly shaking his head.

Once Mr. Zhang and Mother Zhang left, Zhang Guoqing then said, "Let’s not all go to their place. Let’s first see how Brother-in-law’s siblings handle it. If we all went, everything would fall on Big Sister. Nobody’s money comes easy. Oh, I work like crazy for 30 bucks a month, it’s stressing me out."

Zhou Jiao and the others laughed heartily, rare to hear Zhang Guoqing worrying about money.

Zhang the Second chuckled for a while before he realized and quickly asked, "Did you spend all your money on this trip? I have money, use it first. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to buy a house; the money is sitting there doing no good."

Lin Juhua promptly said, "Yes. We’ve saved all the separation money and haven’t used it yet. You can use our money first. If we can’t afford a house in a few years, we’ll ask you for help. I always worry about lending money if we keep it at home; might as well keep it with you."

After she spoke, everyone laughed again.

Zhang Guoqing winked at his Second Brother, joking, "Can’t you sleep peacefully at night, fearing someone would steal it? Be startled when someone comes during the day, afraid they’ll borrow money?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I’ll bring it by tomorrow. Is that soon enough?" Zhang the Second kicked him and laughed.

Zhang Guoqing quickly stopped him, "Don’t take it seriously, we have money. Not to mention what my father-in-law gave, just Ping’an’s red envelopes are quite a bit. Coming back this time, apart from other things, in the provincial city, we received countless red envelopes."
