Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 93 Turn your elbows outward
These words were like a drop of cold water in the face, arousing strong anger in Old Mrs. Zhang.
She was shaking, her eyes wide open, and she asked questions rapidly, spitting everywhere: "How dare you...how dare you slander my son like this? My son is an upright person, and my little grandson will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future!"
Her words were filled with a mother's protectiveness and reluctance.
The third captain was also furious and responded, "Since your family has a bright future, why do you have to stay in our team? If you have the ability, make a name for yourself!"
After saying this, without waiting for Mrs. Zhang to say another word, he turned around and left resolutely, returning to the training ground without looking back, to continue coaching those new team members who were full of enthusiasm and dreams.
This incident undoubtedly pushed the Zhang family to the forefront of public opinion in the village again. Instead of reflecting on themselves, they pushed all the faults and responsibilities onto the other two brothers.
Old Mrs. Zhang's inner anger and dissatisfaction grew day by day, and her resentment towards the second wife's family seemed to have reached its peak. She chattered incessantly every day, blaming and criticizing the second wife's family of six endlessly, and she wished that all the good luck in the world could be absorbed into her own family.
As for Hu Cuimei, she was also holding a grudge in her heart.
When her parents learned that the trend for kangs was actually started by the second child of the Zhang family, they kept urging her to use this relationship to get Zhang Laoer to build a few kangs for their family free of charge.
However, Hu Cuimei and the second wife had long been at odds with each other. Not to mention helping her natal family, she had not even settled the matter of her own kang.
Fortunately, they cleverly vacated an empty room for rent, and the rent allowed Hu Cuimei and her family of three to squeeze into a relatively spacious room, snuggle up to each other, and finally feel a little warmth in this cold winter.
The urging voice from her parents' home came day after day, cold and biting, making Hu Cuimei increasingly irritated.
The looks of the sisters-in-law were sharp and a little suspicious. They whispered to each other, as if discussing why Hu Cuimei didn't roll up her sleeves and help with the housework. Their eyes revealed a hint of "Could it be that she has lived in the city for too long and learned to put on airs?"
The last time she went back to her parents' home, it was a gloomy afternoon. As soon as Hu Cuimei stepped over the threshold, she was met with Zhang Erniang's meaningful sneer.
Zhang Erniang deliberately raised her voice, and in front of many aunts and uncles, she said in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, our Cuimei is now turning her elbow outward, and wants to take advantage of the matter of building a kang for parents to get some benefits."
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at the old couple present.
Hu Cuimei had mixed feelings and her cheeks flushed with anxiety. She quickly shook her head to deny it and tried to explain her original intention, but every word of her excuse seemed so pale and powerless.
Although the old couple remained kind in front of her, they secretly advised her not to take it too seriously. After all, blood is thicker than water, and there was no need for a family to fall out over building a kang.
Old Man Liu was even more direct. He patted his chest and promised that he would pay for it, not wanting the Zhang family to spend their time in vain.
This understanding and support made Hu Cuimei's heart warm, but on the way home, she couldn't help but shed tears. She secretly vowed that she would never mention going back to her parents' home unless it was necessary.
As the season deepened, the cold gradually invaded every inch of land. The family who was staying at Zhang's house finally couldn't stand the cold and couldn't sleep every night. They mustered up the courage and proposed to Mrs. Zhang their idea of building a kang.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be frightened and suddenly shrank into a ball, looking like dried orange peels.
Her eyes were sharp, and her words were mixed with dissatisfaction and indifference: "This four walls are my territory, and you are just temporary guests. You usually cook with my stove and drink water from my Zhang family's well, but now you still think it's not comfortable enough!"
The old lady on the other side was obviously not good at speaking. Facing old lady Zhang's accusations, she could only stammer and repeat those two weak rebuttals, looking increasingly helpless.
In fact, her family was experiencing a silent storm. Her son's leg injury had not yet healed and he unfortunately fell ill. The daughter-in-law had to shoulder the burden of taking care of the children and her husband alone, and life was already difficult.
The idea of building a kang was proposed because his son's fragile body could no longer withstand even the slightest bit of cold.
The family was well aware that they had brought an extra burden to the Zhang family. Therefore, during this period of time, whether it was helping in the fields or doing housework, they had spared no effort to contribute their efforts, and even shared the little salt and leftover meat in the house with the Zhang family.
Their son had secretly made up his mind that once he recovered, he would move out immediately and pay the Zhang family a certain amount of rent as a thank you.
However, Mrs. Zhang's tough attitude completely extinguished the warmth in their hearts.
The thin wall could not block the sound of the quarrel. The man from the next door family heard his old mother crying and complaining about being wronged. Naturally, he felt uneasy, and the cry of his daughter in his arms seemed even more shrill.
He hugged the crying child tightly, looked at his wife firmly, and asked her to ask the village chief to seek justice and decide to move away from this indifferent place.
After receiving the news, the village chief shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart, wondering why the Zhang Fujia family was always in trouble.
In the past six months, he has been busy with all the matters of the Zhang family, and almost every trouble can be traced back to the Zhang family.
Even so, the village chief remained patient and arranged for his eldest son to help the family move, hoping to quell the storm as soon as possible so that both families could find peace.
However, on the day of moving, the newly married daughter-in-law was packing her luggage when she suddenly discovered that the pair of silver earrings that carried her parents' love and were her most precious treasures were missing.
This pair of earrings was not only her dowry when she got married, but also the result of her parents' hard work over the years. She always regarded it as a lucky charm and never left it.
As she was about to set off, she couldn't find the precious pair of earrings.
As soon as this incident happened, the whole family's attention was unconsciously focused on the eldest son of the Zhang family. Although he had no reputation for stealing or gambling, the earrings were lost at the Zhang family's home. In addition, he knew everything about the house, which inevitably made people wonder whether he was obsessed with money.
Old Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand outsiders accusing her son, and she became furious and started arguing with them.
Zhang Rui was so troubled upon seeing this that he simply called upon the strong men around to guard the courtyard strictly to prevent any accidents. He then rushed into the house and searched every corner carefully, vowing to find out the truth and clear his name.
As a result, the pair of gleaming silver earrings were found in the solemn and slightly old main room of the Zhang family.
This news spread throughout the village in an instant, and Boss Zhang's reputation fell into an abyss of no return.
