Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

When Zhang Yun came to the door, Zhang Shu and the others knew that Zhang Xiucai had also passed the exam.Originally, someone should have talked about this matter, but there is also a Juren in their village, so naturally they don't have time to pay attention to other Juren.

Zhang Yun was dressed very well this time, because Zhang Ju decided to make a suit of clothes for his family from a bolt of silk sent by a wealthy businessman.

Both Zhang Lao Niang and Zhang Xiaomei felt uncomfortable about this, this is silk and satin!If only the three of them made clothes, half of them would be left over, and she would take them with her as a dowry when she got married. What a beauty!

But Zhang Juren cannot be refuted by others when he speaks, otherwise he will stop talking and make your head dizzy.

Only Zhang Yun in this family worships him as a god wholeheartedly, so he still has feelings for Zhang Yun.Furthermore, those two little girls are also his daughters, and their daughters will be of great use in the future. It was fine if they had no money before, but now that they have money, they should plan more for the future.

Zhang Yun sat in the main room and said to them, "My husband said that although you didn't help my family, you don't forget your roots when you are rich. Even poor relatives should be treated as guests. Tomorrow, my family will hold a banquet. , nephew A Shu and nephew Fu Lang, let's go and have fun together."

Zhang Shu looked at Zhang Yun, wanting to open her mind to see if there was a hole in it?She actually copied the words of the Juren and told them a poor relative?

Wasn't it they who had no money to come back and depended on their mother's family for relief?If Zhang Shu remembered correctly, there was a disaster in autumn one year, and the members of the Zhang family relied on their Zhang family for relief throughout the winter.With these things, a few white-eyed wolves were bluntly fed.

Grandpa Zhang smoked a bag of dry tobacco, and then said, "I'm busy with farm work recently, so it's fine for me and your mother to go, and Ashu and his husband can stay at home."

"Father, you are really confused. This is the glory of our entire Zhang family. If my mother's family is not all present, others will say that my husband has forgotten his roots!" Zhang Yun was in a hurry. Well, her family is already thin, if the time comes, there will be no seats at all tables, others will think that the Yue family is dissatisfied with her husband!

Grandma Zhang looked at Zhang Yun with disappointment. Such a daughter, who was always planning for her husband, was not as good as she used to be, at least she still had snacks back then.

"Guy, don't worry, we will go." Zhang Shu said in a deep voice, didn't he just want to show them off?Then he will go and have a look.

Only then did Zhang Yun heave a sigh of relief. Her glory rests on Zhang Wenjie. If he loses face, her mother-in-law will probably scold her again.

After notifying them, Zhang Yun went home. She looked happy, and the villagers would inevitably ask her a few words when they saw her. Mrs. Guan's.

Then he said that Zhang Shu's family was low-key, and the son-in-law won the exam and didn't see them come out to talk about it. If any of their relatives won the exam, they would definitely rush to their house to gain some glory.

"Ashu, why did you say you were going? Then your second uncle and the others will go again. Your aunt is not clear-headed. The Zhang family has never regarded us as the same thing. It's better that your grandfather and I are elders. , I’m afraid you juniors will be angry if you go.”

"Grandma, don't worry, if I don't ask them, no one will be able to make me angry. It's Hibiscus. He's getting heavy. I'll send him back to my father tomorrow for a day." It's not good to move the tire gas.

Li Muzhen was going to give birth in a month or so, and Zhang's family had no objection, so Zhang Shu sent Li Muzhen home early the next morning.

After talking about the cause and effect with his father, Zhang Shu went home and drove the car to take the two elders to the banquet.

Li's father looked at Zhang Shu's back and said, "Ah Shu is good at everything, but these two relatives are too bad, and his family members are weak, so there will be no one to take care of him in the future."

Although there are not many people at Father Li's side, and the relationship is not too close, there are a lot of relatives and friends at Father Li's house.

"Abba, don't worry, we won't be bullied." Li Mujin comforted, but he was actually a little worried that the three of them would be wronged.

In the evening, Zhang Shu came to pick Li Mujin home. There was no emotion on his face, so Aba Li and the others didn't ask any questions.

After going out, Zhang Shu looked at Li Mujin with a bit of anger on his face, "Those people are really bullying!"

"What's the matter, what happened?"

Zhang Shu took a few deep breaths, "The thing is like this..."

This morning, Zhang Shu drove an ox cart to the door of Zhang’s house. There were already many people sitting in front of the door. When they saw Zhang Shu’s tall man, some people asked, “Who is this? Is this a relative of Yunniang’s family? Well, don’t you know you’re married?”

Zhang Shu didn't bring Fulang with him, that's why he asked this question.

A woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said, "This is Yunniang's nephew, the son of the old family. Don't say you haven't seen it, even I, who live so close, haven't seen it a few times."

"Hey, how come there is a nephew who doesn't go to my aunt's house?"

"Don't mention it, it's probably because you dislike the poor and love the rich. Didn't you see that as soon as Zhang Juren won the exam, they came eagerly."

"..."

Gossiping has always been a popular response, but gradually, there are more people and their voices are louder, and they don't even know how to avoid it.

The faces of the Zhang family were not very good-looking. If the Zhang family didn't go out to talk extravagantly, then these neighbors probably didn't know about it. Moreover, from what they said, it seemed that there were some handwritings of the second child of the Zhang family.

"Grandma, let them talk. You must know that if you talk too much, you will go to hell after you die. The brats will use big scissors to pull out her tongue inch by inch and cut it off." Zhang Shu said loudly, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. .

The women watched them walk into Zhang's courtyard with a trace of uneasiness on their faces.

The old lady of the Zhang family was sitting in the main room enjoying the flattery of those old people. Even when she saw the second elder of the Zhang family, she didn't get up. She just smiled and said, "The in-laws are here? Yun Niang is busy in the kitchen now, go and see her." .”

"Is this how Zhang's family treats guests? In-laws come and invite people to the kitchen? I don't know if the old lady's nephews are serving food in there?" Zhang Shu looked at the old godly woman, and his words were not polite. .

The old lady's complexion was a bit ugly. Ever since her son was selected, even the people in the county wanted to show her some disrespect, and no one dared to contradict her again!Her nephew is a distinguished guest, he is different from these mud legs!

"If Zhang's family didn't invite us, we don't really want to climb the noble mansion. Since Zhang's family doesn't welcome us, then we'll just go back and leave." Zhang Shu walked out with his grandma on his arm. What are you doing here?

"Wait a minute, my parents-in-law are here, please be respected by my son-in-law. I have been concentrating on my studies these years, so I don't come here often, I hope you will forgive me."

Zhang Juren came out of the inner room with a warm smile on his face.

"Nephew, don't be angry. My mother didn't mean it either. I think you don't have the same knowledge as an old man. Yunniang is in the kitchen giving them instructions, and I'll let her out immediately."

Zhang Juren became easy to talk, and the way he talked and laughed at Yan Yan made it impossible for others to find any fault.

Now that he was subdued first, they wouldn't hold a grudge.So the three of them found a place to sit down, and Zhang Yun came out of the kitchen very quickly. She saw the three of them happy at first, and then dissatisfied, "Why didn't my nephew Fulang come?"

Grandma Zhang said, "Mujin's belly is so big, why call him here? The road is so bumpy, what if something happens?"

Zhang Yun said in dissatisfaction, "Isn't it just pregnancy? What's the big deal? When I was pregnant with two daughters, I worked all day long, and I followed suit in the kitchen. I didn't stop all day long. An An was born, and the baby is also big."

Grandma Zhang looked at Zhang Yun angrily. After all this, she still thinks this family is a good one?Where people get pregnant, the whole family does not support her, but she actually has to take care of the whole family while she is pregnant.So when she gave birth to this daughter, did she have water in her head?Give birth to this daughter so stupidly.

"Where are the flowers and grasses?" Grandma Zhang asked her. She didn't see her two granddaughters today, and she didn't know where they went.

"Mother! Don't call them Hua'ercao'er in the future. My husband gave them a name, one is Zhang Zhi and the other is Zhang Rui." Speaking of this matter, Zhang Yun was full of pride. The child doesn't need to have a good name, but now he is going to be an official soon, if the child is still called Hua'ercao'er, he will lose face outside, so he gave them a big name, which means Hui Zhilan Xin.

Zhang Shu looked at the smug look on his aunt's face, and felt very strange, which family's children didn't have a name when they were born. One of her two younger sisters was eight years old, and the other was five years old this year, but neither had a name. What kind of name is Hua'er Cao'er, and it's so strange that I'm still happy with the name now.

Zhang Yun went into the room and let the two daughters out. Although the clothes they wore looked pretty, they still had that dull expression on their faces, as if they were a little afraid of everything.The long-term suppression has already made their character cowardly, so what's the use of treating them better now?

"Grandpa, grandma, cousin." They whispered, and the two young ones at least had a little affection for them, because in their few memories, as long as they went to Zhang's house, they would have meat to eat. In my own home, I can only eat porridge and wild vegetables.

Grandma Zhang touched Hua'er's little hands and found that her hands were very rough. It looked like she had done a lot of work.Cao'er's little hands are better, because Hua'er does most of the work.

She didn't let her do so much work when Zhang Yun was a child. Now she doesn't feel sorry for her daughter, and she is all focused on a man. She doesn't know what went wrong with her teaching methods. love their children.

I just sat for a while, and then the banquet started. At the beginning of the banquet, the main table in front was full of businessmen or local rich men, not a single scholar. These people were the ones who gave gifts to the Zhang family before. Because Zhang's family accepted all their gifts, it's hard not to invite them to come.When they went to invite scholars, they knew that they wanted to sit at the table with these people, and they all refused.

Zhang Xiucai didn't care too much, after all, those scholars didn't give him money, but these people praised him highly.If he wants to donate an official position, he needs to get more silver taels from them to successfully fill an official position.

Zhang Shu's table was arranged at Zhang Laoer's table, and everyone came except Zhang Yang who didn't come.After greeting each other, the table was very silent, no one spoke.

The table next to them was occupied by the neighbors around them. These people seemed to be afraid that they would not be able to pay back their food, and they were desperately eating into their own bowls. Eating a meal was like fighting.

There is a saying taught by the master before that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Zhang Shu compared the two banquets before he really understood the meaning of this sentence.
