Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 28 Separation
Zhang Fu and Zhang Lao Da frowned, looking worried.
Zhang Laoda couldn't help but complain about the past: "Mom, what's the point of talking about this now? If you had been better to the second wife earlier, maybe we wouldn't have come to this point today."
After he finished speaking, the room was silent, except for the wind outside the window, which seemed to be still humming.
Old Mrs. Zhang felt as if her chest was being pressed down by a huge rock and she was breathing with difficulty. She was about to open her mouth to scold Boss Zhang, but was unexpectedly gently stopped by her husband Zhang Fu who was standing beside her.
Zhang Fu frowned, his eyes revealing some worry, and whispered: "Enough, this is a critical moment, why are you still arguing? Aren't you afraid that the evil woman will hear the noise and come, and we will all be in trouble?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the room changed and the air froze instantly.
Young Zhang Dawa was so frightened that his face turned pale. He rushed into his father's broad arms and sobbed, shouting out his deepest fear: "Dad, I don't want to die..."
Old Madam Zhang pressed her hands tightly against her chest. Finally, she seemed to harden her heart and said with clenched teeth, "We really have no choice but to split up the family! Let the second branch be separated and set up its own business!"
This sudden decision instantly focused everyone's attention in the room on Mrs. Zhang.
"Most of our family's money has already been taken away by them. We will then insist that we have already given it to them as compensation for the division of the family property, and force them to find another place to live!"
In this remote village, young couples often choose to set up their own families once they get married. However, in those families, brothers and sisters often quarrel over trivial matters. If this continues for a long time, I am afraid that family affection will gradually fade away until they become strangers.
On the other hand, although Zhang Fu's family was not wealthy, the difficult life of the second branch invisibly balanced the conflicts of interest between the brothers, making the eldest and the third son of the Zhang family somewhat grateful, and naturally there were fewer conflicts.
This is not the first time that Mrs. Zhang has mentioned dividing the family property.
Once upon a time, Zhang Fu had high hopes for his second son, hoping that he could bring more help to the family. Who would have thought that the arrival of Xu Liyun would turn everything upside down.
So, under the expectant gaze of his eldest son and his wife, Zhang Fu finally nodded slowly.
At the same time, the village was crowded with curious villagers. They were amazed at the tiger that fell to the ground and praised Xu Liyun's extraordinary courage and ability.
Holding a bunch of wild flowers in her hand, Xiao Youniang listened attentively to her second brother's description of his adventures in the mountains. Whenever she heard something thrilling, she couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow".
In a corner of the crowd, Xu Liyun was silently planning how to deal with the tiger.
This tiger unexpectedly brought a generous reward of two hundred taels of silver!
Although she had limited knowledge of the tiger's actual value, she learned that eighty taels of silver were enough to buy a decent two-story house in the city.
Now with the two hundred taels, it is obvious that the other party has made a considerable concession.
Xu Liyun was grateful and agreed to let Hu Bin bring silver to exchange for the tiger.
After the two parties discussed it, in order to avoid attracting the attention of others and causing trouble due to too much silver and money, they announced to the public that they only sold it for fifty taels.
Upon hearing the news, Hu Bin smiled from ear to ear and immediately ordered his clever servant Yu Xiaoqiang to drive back to the city to get the money.
When Yu Xiaoqiang heard the instructions, he drove away without saying a word.
Yu Xiaoqiang knew that his father, who was in charge of the family's accounts, was always stingy. If he withdrew such a large sum of money directly from the account, he would inevitably be questioned.
So, he opened Hu Bin's silver box with ease, skillfully took out several stacks of silver bills, a few heavy silver ingots and some loose change, and then hurried back to Zhangjia Village.
Fortunately, the carriage sped along, and before the sun set, Yu Xiaoqiang had already returned to the village with the silver and money.
At this moment, the fourth child of the Zhang family is busy preparing dinner. Smoke is rising from the kitchen, creating a warm and ordinary scene.
In addition to the majestic tiger, Xu Liyun also captured a chubby rabbit.
The rabbit was jumping around, unaware that it was about to become a delicacy on the Zhang family's table.
The Zhang family's residence is simple, with no cellar for storage. In addition, the house is full of guests today, so it is obviously not appropriate for the lively rabbit to stay for long.
Zhang Siwa immediately decided to turn this unexpected surprise into a gourmet feast.
Originally, he wanted to cook a spicy rabbit dish, but when he looked up at the stove and saw the young girl helping him to light the fire, his mind suddenly changed.
Thinking of his younger sister who was still young and whose delicate stomach could not handle spicy food, he decided to make a dish of mellow yet mild sauce-flavored rabbit meat to suit her taste.
He secretly felt regretful. If he had anticipated this moment earlier, he would have prepared more dry goods as auxiliary materials. Unfortunately, time did not allow for even a moment's delay.
Zhang Siwa moved nimbly through the mountains and forests and collected a basket of various mushrooms.
Soon, smoke rose up from the kitchen and the dining table was quickly filled with carefully prepared dishes.
The aroma of the braised rabbit and the freshness of the sautéed mushrooms are intertwined.
At first, Hu Bin declined the invitation to dine together several times out of politeness, and felt very reserved inside.
The ill-fitting clothes that the second son of the Zhang family wore in his memory revealed that the family was not well off.
He couldn't bear to have the Zhang family sacrifice their daily frugality and enjoy those rare delicacies because of his arrival.
However, when the rich aroma of sauce and fresh aroma of mushrooms wafting from the kitchen hit my nose, all my hesitation and refusal disappeared in an instant.
When Zhang Laoer sincerely invited him again, Hu Bin just smiled and tacitly accepted the warmth.
Yu Xiaoqiang hurried back with the silver in his pocket, and saw that his young master was getting along well with the Zhang family, sitting around the dining table.
In this feast, the little girl was carefully taken care of and enjoyed a small bowl of dish all by herself. She savored the food with satisfaction, occasionally looking up, and the lively scene around her was reflected in her clear eyes.
In contrast, Zhang Sanwa, for the sake of his reputation, was unwilling to join in this somewhat rough food fight. He tried to pick up his chopsticks several times, but could only get air, with an embarrassed look on his face.
In the end, it was Xiao Youniang's innocence and kindness that eased her brother's predicament. She took the initiative to share her food so that Zhang Sanwa didn't have to sit there awkwardly.
After the banquet, the relationship between Hu Bin and the Zhang family became closer because of sharing delicious food. He even affectionately called Zhang Laoer "Big Brother".
Before leaving, Hu Bin handed over all the money Yu Xiaoqiang brought to Xu Liyun without hesitation.
Moving the tiger became a minor incident. Due to its huge size, Zhang Laoer had to invite several strong men and borrow his second uncle's sturdy donkey cart to successfully complete this difficult task.
As a thank you, the Zhang family distributed some copper coins to these laborers to ensure that their hard work would not be in vain.
This move undoubtedly made Zhang Laoer more popular among these young people.
As night fell, the Zhang family gathered around the fire to count. The light of the silver bills and silver ingots in their hands illuminated everyone's surprised faces.
