Chapter 49: Visitors from the Lin Family (Part Five)

This personality really isn’t suited for being a soldier, but he’s a good guy, not like some other privileged kids who look down on people. With this kind of friend, even the Lin family doesn’t have much to say about that type of person. After feeling reassured, National Day went in through the back door. There were only a few people left at the entrance of the big courtyard—just his uncles—most had already left. Everyone in the family hadn’t even had a proper lunch when that crazy person showed up.

"Dad, Uncle, Little Uncle, please come in and sit. Let’s sit in the hall room. Dad, where are my buddies?"

Mr. Zhang pulled his two brothers and closed the door, entering the hall. National Day poured three bowls of water and placed them on the table. "Drink, thank you, Uncle and Little Uncle. Only our family jumps in to help when something happens. Come have dinner with us tonight. I’ll have mom cook some good dishes for you three brothers. How about it?"

Mr. Zhang patted his son with a smile; his son sure knew how to talk. "Where did you go just now? Your second brother was looking for you. Your big brother and sister-in-law went to pick up the kids. Earlier, the team leader went to a meeting in the township. I see there’s nothing much this afternoon, just chatting with your uncle and little uncle about the house. Your cousins will help, and it’ll speed things up."

"Thanks so much to Uncle and Little Uncle. I’ll have to thank my brothers later. As the youngest, I’m the one taking advantage, haven’t helped them much. Always calling on my brothers whenever something happens, hehe. Just when a guest is coming over tonight, I’ll call everyone over for a gathering later. No need for Uncle and Little Uncle to go back, I can tell you about this. Dad, you asked where I went, right? A soldier buddy pulled me outside to talk earlier, during that chaotic time in the afternoon. He managed to find me and told me Jiao Jiao’s grandpa and her mom would be visiting us this afternoon. Dad, do you know where mom is? I’ll go tell her about that in-law of hers who hasn’t been seen since the baby’s three-day wash, hehe."

"Oh, they haven’t shown up for years, now suddenly coming to see the grandson. I guess he’ll hear about today’s events too, huh? It’s quite a coincidence, bumping into each other like this. The Old Zhou family is really unbelievable; even now, Old Sir Zhou hasn’t come over to say a word. Just saw him leave without speaking; such close ties just cut off. As long as Jiao Jiao’s grandparents are taken care of, that’s fine." Zhang Youfu said.

Uncle Zhang, Zhang Youcai, agreed: "It’s better to cut ties. Look at how their family was yelling today, anyone unaware would think Xiao Wu’s family was in the wrong. They’ve taken advantage so much yet still pretend to be innocent. Now that the Lin family is here, let’s see what face he has left. If he didn’t come inside and just walked off, does he even have the face to come back in? Do you think he doesn’t know these things? Living in the same courtyard, he’d have to know, it’s Jiao Jiao covering for him, that old rascal."

Mr. Zhang couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, this brother of his is so straightforward. Looking at Xiao Wu and his wife, they have gone through so much. Now a lot of people praise that kid for his benevolence; they’ve endured this family for years before finally snapping today. Jiao Jiao really held her ground in front of hundreds; seeing that crowd made his feet go numb, her words were so piercing, handled things better than the commune secretary.

"Your mother is in your room watching over Jiao Jiao, worried that the child might get upset. Earlier, your aunt and little aunt, along with the village women, were consoling her. The baby’s only a couple of days old, and the Zhou family’s already stirring things up. When you talk to Jiao Jiao, speak slowly, she hasn’t seen her mother in so many years, must have grievances, or maybe some reasons. Comfort her well."
