Chapter 23: 24

Chapter 24- The Zhang Family

It’s better to make money sooner rather than later so they came to an agreement that night. The next morning, Lin Laogen took Wu Qingyuan to Zhang family to find the woman from the Chen family. 

To tell the truth, Lin Laogen was more surprised than he was worried about Wu Qingyuan’s carbon-burning business.

Lin Laogen always thought that Wu Qingyuan had some talents, but it was certainly not that much. After all, he heard that he used to travel to various countries in an uncertain life. What kind of money can be saved in such an unstable life?

 

 

Also, when traveling everywhere, eating and lodging cost money. Wu Qingyuan has just taken root in the village, and he has also spent dozens of taels on buying a house and replenishing said house. He certainly doesn’t have much savings in his hands. He guessed this from the behavior of buying a house but not buying land. According to the custom of the ancient indigenous people here, if you have money, you definitely want to buy land.

But who knows that Wu Qingyuan’s actions are already an anomaly here. Once he brought it up, the whole business was such a big one. Carbon kilns, the kind used for several thousand kilograms of wood at a time, even if they were to use two or three small carbon kilns. Without a hundred taels of silver, it is absolutely impossible to get it. 

To the villagers, this amount of silver is really a huge sum of money. No wonder he sees Brother Wu eating and dressing without saving money.

 

Guessing that Wu Qingyuan had so much talent, Lin Laogen was a little surprised, but he had no other thoughts, but when he thought that he was so rich and his personality was so approachable, Lin Laogen really felt that the more he looked at him, the more pleasing to his eyes.

The rich outsiders look down upon them like they were peasants who eat dirt, but Wu Qingyuan has no arrogance at all. He calls him respectfully by his name and title. In his heart, he doesn’t mention it too much but Brother Wu was definitely someone close to it

One of them is called the other’s uncle and the other is the other’s brother. The generations are completely messed up, but this is not important.

 

The site of Liushu Village is not such a big one. Everyone in the village knows where and where they live. Lin Laogen and Wu Qingyuan chat all the way to the door of Zhang’s house.

The Zhang family is not a particularly wealthy family. The house is the kind of mud-walled thatched cottage in the village. However, the owner’s house is very well maintained. The whole place looked clean and tidy. Unlike some people’s houses which are surrounded by animal feces and garbage.

When the two arrived, the Zhang family was chatting in the yard with the fruit picked from the mountain.

 

During this period of time, farming work was not busy. The villagers went up to the mountains to pick wild fruits and mushrooms and so on. 

“Sister, do you really plan to buy farms again? Better farms are not cheap now. The prices have risen a few years ago. If it were me, you should just rent all of them. Although there is less grain left, it is still enough to eat. Your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child, and how will she live after you ran out of money…”

Aunt Zhang was washing the fruit while talking to her natal sister. Her family was married to Liushu Village with their two sisters. She also worried about her sister’s bad life.

The Chen family sitting opposite Auntie Zhang sighed. Life in the town is not easy. It is better to go back to the village if you can go back to the village. If they weren’t forced to do so, who would want to leave their roots in the village.

“Yes, it’s still better in the village. You will be back in the village in the future. Don’t let your husband gamble anymore. Brother Chen has that craft, and you can pass it to your son. You don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. You shouldn’t have tried to invest in that carbon kiln business no matter how big it was.”

“Eh, you don’t know the temper of my husband, forget it, don’t talk about this, sister, what’s the matter with your Dazhu’s marriage? I’ve heard people talk, and said that the ger of Zhou’s family- his cousin came to find someone and picked him up from Zhou’s house. It’s all right now, and finally there is no bad thing about the old woman Zhou. Have you found someone to propose marriage?”

Chen shook her head and put aside her family affairs, caring about her sister’s family affairs. The women in the village talked about these things. 

Speaking of her own affairs, now it is Zhang Auntie’s turn to bother.

Zhang Dazhu, who had been working next to her, also paused. His face was very ugly. He put the things in his hands again like a bull, turned his head, and walked into the house.

 

Chen knew that there must be something wrong when he saw Zhang Dazhu’s agitated appearance and sat down and whispered.

“Sister, do you still disagree? If you do then Dazhu must be aware of that-, you disagreed before because it’s really unlucky to be married to Grandma Zhou, but I heard that now Zhou-ger has that cousin of his that is good to him, and he wouldn’t be as unscrupulous as Mrs. Zhou to sell people for to their betrothal gifts. Why don’t you find someone to talk about, that Zhou-ger is actually pretty good…..” 

“You really think I’m the same as that old woman Zhou! Zhou-ger, who we have seen since childhood, I know better than anyone else. He looks good and is good at everything, but I’m just worried, in case he marries him this time. What should I do if his cousin is actually the same as that old woman? The village is pretty good, but I haven’t seen what his cousin is like. I just want to check it out in a few days before I talk about the marriage. Look at this- the brat was acting good, so he bothered me again, and he couldn’t wait a few more days.”

Aunt Zhang didn’t get angry as soon as she said it. Her sons were all gentle and obedient, but that one was stubborn.

Her Zhang family wants nothing when marrying a wife, but this family must be seen some more. Zhou-ger is fine, but there are too many problems in the family, and it is troublesome to separate a marriage. Without properly seeing things, she doesn’t know the situation. She was just surveying the situation but didn’t expect her son to be extremely stubborn.

“Sister, don’t be angry, Dazhu is just stubborn, then let’s go see Zhou-ger’s cousin together another day. If you can’t pay for the betrothal gift, you can just buy a ger and come back. Can you bear to watch Dazhu become an old bachelor?” 

Chen continued to persuade his sister, Auntie Zhang opened her mouth, and finally sighed. Of course her own son couldn’t bear it, but what if Zhou-ger’s cousin is like Grandma Zhou, how will his son bear it this time?

While worrying, the door of the yard was knocked suddenly.

“Who’s there? The door is unlocked, come in.”

When Auntie Zhang heard the movement, she kept washing her hands and shouted aloud. 

“Aunt Zhang, it’s me, Lin Laogen…”

Outside Lin Laogen also roared back, and then brought Wu Qingyuan in, fully expressing the scenes of life in the ancient countryside. Communication depends on shouting.

“It’s brother Laogen, why didn’t you go make money today? Instead, you come running to my house.”

Seeing people entering the yard, Aunt Zhang got up, wiped her hands, and greeted them with a smile. 

Everyone knows who Lin Laogen is and what his personality is. As long as Lin Laogen is not busy with farming work, he will definitely go to town and help workers to earn money. But instead, the man was here on their home, the matters must be urgent.

So after speaking, her eyes fell on Wu Qingyuan behind Lin Laogen.

“Lin Laogen, who is this young man…?”

He is handsome, well-dressed, and has a good temperament, but she doesn’t know him when she sees him, since he was walking with Lin Laogen, is he a relative of the Lin family? No, she has never heard of such a handsome junior in the Lin family. Aunt Zhang stared at Wu Qingyuan and guessed. 

“This is Brother Wu, the same Brother Wu who came to our village to find relatives the other day.” Lin Laogen introduced.

“Brother Wu who came to our village to find relatives the other day?”

 

Aunt Zhang’s spirit suddenly shocked, isn’t that…

“Zhou-ger’s cousin!” 

Lin Laogen helped her fill up.

“Huh? Zhou-ger’s cousin?!”

Aunt Zhang’s eyes widened. In the yard, the son and wife of the Zhang family, and the Chen family who were chatting just now, said in unison.

Zhang Dazhu, who had just entered the house, heard the movement and hurried out. He saw Wu Qingyuan, who came up with a happy “cousin!” 

“…”

Wu Qingyuan was shocked and couldn’t help but laugh, Lin Laogen also smiled, and the Zhang family looked back at him in horror.

“Brother Wu, I’m sorry, we are waiting for Dazhu’s cousin to come, and he called the wrong one just a while ago. Dazhu is a child who is impatient, sit down, let’s sit together, let’s talk about why you came in such hot weather. Sit and speak slowly.”

Aunt Zhang reacted and glanced at her son speechlessly, and then pulled him back, before continuing to greet them in embarrassment. 

This explanation is too fake and too embarrassing, no one believes it at all, but everyone knows how many cousins ​​in the Zhang family are.

However, Lin Laogen didn’t point it out, Wu Qingyuan also smiled and nodded, not entangled in Zhang Dazhu’s yelling, it was not the first time anyway.

“Aunt Zhang, taking the liberty to interrupt, may I ask who is Aunt Chen? I asked Uncle Lin to bring me here. I want to discuss something with Aunt Chen…”

After the name was revealed, Wu Qingyuan took the initiative to step up to the topic, and at the same time, he passed out the meeting gift in his hand. 

Two catties of pork, a pack of pastries, and a pot of rapeseed oil!

The Zhang family and the Chen family in the yard wiped their sweat at the same time. What are you talking about? Such a heavy meeting gift!
