Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 129 Uninvited Guest
He stared at Xu's mother closely, his chest heaving violently like an enraged beast about to explode.
Xu's mother may not be considered kind, and Xu's father is definitely not a good person.
His anger at this moment did not only come from the unfair treatment his daughter had received.
In fact, he himself did not think highly of this weak and incompetent daughter.
What really made him sad was that the dozen or so taels of silver he had saved with great difficulty over the years were squandered by Xu's mother without a trace. Every penny of this money was the result of his daughter's frugality and endurance of humiliation.
More than a dozen taels of silver, every penny of which was the result of hard work, were carefully hidden by Xu's mother, who dreamed that her eldest son's wedding would be grand and her second son's future would no longer be an unattainable dream.
This heavy amount of money, as precious as a spring rain, was quietly "swallowed" by Xu's mother without her noticing and disappeared without a trace.
When Mr. Xu found out, he was furious. The anger seemed to burst out from his furrowed brows and soar into the sky.
Zhang Laoer saw that the atmosphere was not right and did not want his family to be affected by the turmoil in the Xu family, so he thought quickly and found an excuse. He held Xu Liyun's hand with one hand, called the children with the other, and quickly left this place of trouble.
When he left, he did not forget to take the inconspicuous yet priceless earthenware jar with him, as if it was the key to unlocking everything.
Xu Guishan watched the earthenware jar, which symbolized five hundred taels of wealth, being taken away, and he was extremely anxious. He was about to chase after it, but was stopped by his father, who knew nothing about it but insisted on maintaining the family's reputation.
The collision between authority and impulse brought a possible pursuit to an abrupt end.
The figures of the Zhang family became blurred in the setting sun. Zhang Siwa held his sister in his arms. The two of them were like swallows in the spring breeze. Their cheerful laughter echoed in the village, attracting countless curious eyes.
At this time, a man with a sharp face and sharp eyes happened to look up and saw the little girl's face as tender as a fairy. His eyes lit up and an inexplicable interest arose in his heart.
At this moment, a storm was raging in the Xu family's courtyard. Xu's father was furious like thunder, while Xu's mother tried her best with her eloquence to try to calm the storm.
To Zhang Laoer’s family, who had already passed away, all this was like the turmoil in another world, of which they were completely unaware.
After returning to the simple thatched hut, Xu Liyun's resentment had not dissipated. She secretly wondered how to get back the dozen or so taels of silver that she had worked so hard to save from the Xu family.
Every penny earned through hard work must not fall into the pocket of others easily!
Zhang Laoer kept silent, and pointed at the undelivered "gift" in the backpack with just a subtle look.
The tacit understanding between husband and wife is better than thousands of words.
Little Youniang looked around curiously, her bright eyes flashing, and finally whispered to her brother and sister: "Daddy and Mommy are communicating in secret, just like this..."
As she spoke, she imitated her father and blinked her eyes vigorously. Her innocence was so amusing that one could not help laughing.
The clever Zhang Siwa quickly covered his sister's mouth and gently taught her, "Children should stay out of the adult's business."
He handed Xiaobai the milk bowl used by Xiao Youniang and asked her to feed the hungry little tiger.
It happened that Xiao Youniang missed Xiaobai very much. After receiving the task, she happily held the milk basin and ran to Xiaobai who was curled up in the nest and taking a nap.
Xu Liyun and Zhang Laoer had a general grasp of Xu Guishan's character just from their first confrontation.
As expected, not long after, Xu Guishan came to visit again. This time he came alone, carrying cakes and wine in his hands. Without Xu Guilong's company, he seemed more thoughtful.
Xu Liyun was not surprised by his reappearance. She pretended to be surprised on the surface, but she had already made plans in her heart and welcomed the uninvited guest with great enthusiasm.
During his last short visit, Xu Guishan had not taken a close look at this simple thatched house, but now he took the opportunity to take a closer look and found that the courtyard was clean and tidy. There was a stone table with a stone bench on the left, which was simple but elegant; the swing on the right was swaying gently, and the straw cushions revealed a warmth of handicraft, which was obviously carefully prepared for the two little princesses.
Looking at all this, Xu Guishan felt mixed emotions.
In his opinion, they were just two little girls and it would be simple to raise them to adulthood. Why did his brother-in-law go to so much trouble to create an atmosphere like that of an aristocratic courtyard? This was undoubtedly beyond his understanding of ordinary days.
Zhang Laoer quietly renovated the old houses and the solemn main hall that bore traces of time.
They have been renovated with delicate techniques, without revealing anything, as if a skilled craftsman has been silently carving out time, making these buildings both stable and reliable while retaining their simplicity.
Today, this small courtyard has become the pride of the Zhang family. Even if the whole family moves to a prosperous county town in the future, this piece of spiritual pure land will serve as a warm haven, always welcoming their temporary return.
Xu Guishan strolled between each house, and everything he looked at made him feel mixed emotions.
What made him feel particularly emotional was that what escaped from the cracks in that simple kitchen was not only the aroma of meat, but also the symbol of the thriving life of his brother-in-law's family.
He pondered over it secretly, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
My sister's family lives such a rich and happy life, why can't they just take advantage of the situation and give me that inconspicuous broken clay jar to help my brother-in-law?
Despite his numerous thoughts, Xu Guishan still had a smile on his face and praised every detail of the Zhang family.
Even when he saw Xu Liyun's young niece Xiao Youniang, who was brought out to greet him shyly, he did not hesitate to give her a few words of praise, which brought a blush to the little girl's cheeks.
It is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and merchants in the city are drawing open their door curtains to welcome the new year.
Zhang Siwa's braised pork has spread to every corner like a spring breeze among relatives and friends before the New Year.
People have spread the word that there is a delicacy in Zhangjia Village - "Si Wa Braised Pork". It is not only delicious but also affordable, and has become a concern for many diners.
Therefore, many diners have come here recently, hoping to taste this legendary delicacy.
Unfortunately, it was the Spring Festival at that time and Zhang Siwa’s stock had already been sold out. He could only apologize and ask them to wait patiently for the next furnace opening.
Taking advantage of nothing to do at home today, Zhang Laoer took his two sons to the bustling city, intending to return with a full load of meat and seasonings to support Zhang Siwa in developing his braised meat business.
At the same time, Zhang Sanwa was immersed in the sea of books at home. Facing the upcoming imperial examination, he was well aware of the preciousness of this time and dared not slack off in the slightest.
As for the mysterious Wu Niang, even as a mother, Xu Liyun, could not fully grasp her whereabouts. She only knew that she had been going out frequently recently, and when she returned home, she was often covered in dust and gifts from nature.
