Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

"It seems that we really misunderstood the second brother. He doesn't seem like an unfilial person at all."

"Boss Zhang is really shameless. His younger brother lives in a thatched hut, but he still wants to steal his second brother's money. Isn't he hoping that his brother will have a hard time?"

Such discussions spread quietly among the crowd, and the balance of people's hearts gradually tilted.

Amidst the chaotic discussion, Zhang Fu's lips, which had been tightly closed all this time, finally opened slightly: "Don't speculate, this matter really can't be blamed on the boss, just look at his legs..."

"Is it someone else's fault that he injured his leg? Boss Zhang behaved improperly and was punished for doing something sneaky. Shouldn't we say a few words? Besides, your eldest son is so quick-witted. Who knows, he might have stolen other people's things before?"

A hot-tempered aunt rolled her eyes in disdain and spoke bluntly, completely ignoring Zhang Fu's already embarrassed expression.

The neighbors living near the Zhang family couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, especially those aunts who had a grudge against Old Mrs. Zhang. The small items that occasionally disappeared from the house unconsciously emerged in their minds, and they looked at Old Zhang again with a mixture of confusion and complex emotions in their eyes.

Seeing that the dirty water was about to be thrown on his family, Zhang Fu was anxious to defend his son, but he was not good at speaking, and facing this group of eloquent women, he seemed at a loss and unable to resist.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he wanted to ask his third son, who was always smart, to mediate. However, when he looked around, he found that his third son and his wife had already stood on the edge of the crowd as if to avoid suspicion, and were obviously unwilling to get involved in this dispute.

Li Guifen twisted her husband's arm silently and complained in a low voice: "I've told you so many times that we should just live our lives peacefully, but you just wouldn't listen. Whenever our parents have something to do, you rush over to them. Now look what you've done to us. You've made us lose face."

Zhang Laosan also looked embarrassed, and said in a muffled voice: "Forget it, don't mention it. I will never care if they make trouble again in the future!"

The couple felt very angry. Their third branch had always been law-abiding, but they were always innocently implicated because of the mistakes of their parents and eldest brother. Naturally, they felt very aggrieved.

Zhang Laosan recalled the losses he had suffered in the past because of accommodating his parents. This time he decided not to go with the flow and join the action against his second brother.

Having made up their minds, the two of them quietly left the scene when no one was paying attention, without saying goodbye to anyone.

Zhang Fu watched his son not being around and was powerless to refute the accusations of the crowd, and was isolated and helpless for a while.

Old Mrs. Zhang still wanted to argue with her, but after the village chief coldly said "report to the authorities", she was suddenly silenced.

Boss Zhang was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and bring trouble upon himself, so without waiting for the village chief to say anything more, he fled the scene in disgrace with the help of his wife Hu Cuimei and returned home.

The Zhang family and their group had come here with great momentum, but in the end they had to leave with their heads down and dejected. Not only did they not gain any benefit, but they were also criticized.

In contrast, Xu Liyun's family won a lot of sympathy and praise from the villagers because of this incident.

It was not until the Zhang family gradually walked away that the village chief turned to Zhang Laoer and scolded him a few words: "Since you have separated from the family and set up your own household, you are the head of the family. You can't be so weak anymore. This family still needs you to support it in the future. If they continue to make trouble unreasonably, you should harden your heart and go out. Whoever says you are unfilial, let him come to me to argue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief's eyes swept across the people around him who were watching the excitement like an eagle, scaring them so much that they all dodged and felt uneasy.

Zhang Laoer smiled bitterly and responded, "You are right, village chief, but they are my parents after all. Even if they treat me unfairly, I can't bear to do that. But please rest assured that I know what is important and what is not. My wife and children are my most precious things now. No matter how difficult it is, I will never let them suffer any injustice."

After saying that, he gently stroked his little daughter's head with his broad palm.

The little girl seemed to feel the love. She blinked her big eyes at the village chief a few times and then gave him a sweet smile. That innocent smile instantly softened the village chief's heart.

The village chief exchanged a few words with the people around him, then reluctantly announced the end of the party. The villagers gradually dispersed as the excitement faded away.

Hu Bin was carrying large and small bags filled with various items, and Yu Xiaoqiang followed him.

They chose to quietly arrive at the door of Zhang Laoer's house when the crowd was dispersing.

At this time, the Zhang family had just sent off batches of visitors. Zhang Laoer was immersed in the aftertaste of the grand occasion of his home today, happily planning to show off to his family.

As soon as I opened the door, the person who appeared in front of me was Hu Bin, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Hu Bin knew very well that it was wrong for him to break his promise and make the Zhang family wait for a long time.

Therefore, as soon as they met, he couldn't wait to apologize to Zhang Laoer and his wife repeatedly, and the sincerity and apology in his tone seemed particularly genuine.

Zhang Laoer was not really angry at first. He had heard earlier that Hu Bin was delayed due to an emergency in the store, and his dissatisfaction had long since disappeared.

Seeing his good friend show up at this moment, he was naturally delighted. Without saying a word, he enthusiastically welcomed Hu Bin into his courtyard and called out loudly: "Come quickly, look who's here!"

For a moment, everyone in the Zhang family cast curious glances at him. Hu Bin's familiar face came into their sight again, and a sense of intimacy arose spontaneously.

After entering the courtyard, Hu Bin told Yu Xiaoqiang to find a suitable place to put the package in his hand, while he took out the gifts he had carefully prepared for the Zhang family's children from his bag.

The little girl was holding a gift box that was half the size of her body. She said in a soft and tender voice, "Thank you, Uncle Hu."

Her voice gently touched Hu Bin's heartstrings.

Zhang Laoer warmly invited Hu Bin to sit down, while Xu Liyun was busy making tea for everyone, and Zhang Siwa was not to be outdone and brought out his homemade salted peanuts.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Laoer asked Hu Bin about his recent experiences with concern: "What happened to you these days? What went wrong in the store that took you so long?"

Hu Bin took a sip of tea, and then, as if he had found an outlet to talk, he told his story in one breath: "Brother Zhang, you may not know that our store is in big trouble this time! The Cheng family first designed to put me in jail for a few days, and then took back all the money we earned from selling tiger skins. Not only that, they don't seem to be willing to give up, and they are trying every means to force our whole family into a desperate situation, even my brother-in-law's small business is not spared... They are simply trying to kill us!"

While sipping the sweet honey water with the fragrance of osmanthus in the cup, I feel the sweetness on the tip of my tongue, but my heart seems to be overwhelmed by bitterness.
