Chapter 334: Chapter 335: The Thoughts of the Zhang Family Members

Within the city of Shanghai, Zhang Jiujang furiously slammed his fist into the table, "Useless, such a golden opportunity, and they still couldn’t manage this matter.

One by one, how can they be so stupid." Zhang Jiujang’s face twisted in annoyance.

Zhang Yuhua sat in a chair, her noble face now distorted with rage. Her nails dug deep into her flesh, blood seeping from her palms, "Jiujiang, what do we do now?

Do we just watch idly as that boy comes to Shanghai, and then recognizes his relations with the Zhou family?"

Zhang Jiujang let out a cold laugh and looked at his elder sister, "The people from the Zhou family are not ahead, and have already met the boy. They also failed to recognize his identity.

Sister, don’t worry. Once the boy’s uncle steals the Jade Pendant and destroys it, that boy won’t even dream of recognizing his Zhou family relations in this lifetime."

Zhang Yuhua, hearing her brother’s words, let out a deep sigh of relief, her complexion somewhat improved.

A serene smile graced her face, but thoughts of her husband changed her expression time and again, "Yanlin wants to acknowledge Huo Chen to his ancestral lineage."

A hint of confusion flashed across Zhang Jiujang’s face.

Zhang Yuhua scoffed, her red-painted nails curling, "He’s truly risking everything. Back when the Zhou family was banished, Yue Lian’s death was ambiguous. They said it was dystocia, but why did the child come back to life after being pronounced dead?

He hasn’t thought it through at all, just letting that boy come back. The Zhou family members aren’t fools; they will certainly investigate."

"Who says I haven’t thought it through?" A man’s voice rang out.

Zhang Yuhua’s eyes brightened at the sight of her husband. She restrained her joy, feigning anger, "You finally deign to return, a whole week away for business.

I won’t allow Huo Chen to acknowledge his ancestors. If he returns, what will become of my Zhiguo?"

Zhang Yanlin—although not spared by time, his youthful handsome appearance was still noticeable—saw his wife’s anger and immediately coaxed her in a gentle voice.

"Yuhua, why can’t you see what I mean? I want Zhiguo to serve his country with utmost loyalty, so that outsiders praise Zhiguo’s capabilities.

The Zhou family is engaged in business, and now the policies have changed, they will surely continue their business. If that Huo Chen boy returns,

given how much the Zhou family doted on Yue Lian, they will absolutely support Huo Chen.

Moreover, I’ve heard about Huo Chen’s girlfriend, who is now following a business path too.

If we develop good relations with them, they will become Zhiguo’s own personal ATMs." Zhang Yanlin couldn’t hide the calculations on his face.

Zhiguo was the child who had grown up by his side, naturally dear to him. He would never forsake his own child for one he did not favor, the child of a woman he disliked.

Zhang Jiujang, hearing his words, eyes shone with excitement, "Brother-in-law, you truly are wise."

His and Zhiguo’s jobs seemed glamorous, but their salaries were pitifully small.

Ever since acquiring the Zhou family’s wealth, the Zhang family had grown accustomed to a life of luxury and corruption; their monthly salaries could hardly cover their expenses.

Zhang Yuhua’s furrowed brows relaxed in an instant, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly in pleasure.

"As for the death of Zhou Yuelian, she still perished from dystocia. Back then, the midwife informed us the baby was stillborn. Who knew the midwife was a crook, fooling me,

as a result, my son has been left to drift alone in the outside world for over two decades." Zhang Yanlin finished, with a flicker of genuine sorrow on his face.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yuhua was even more delighted. What she loved most was Yanlin’s talent for manipulating situations to his advantage.

Zhang Jiujang, somewhat anxious, "Do we bring the person back now?"

Zhang Yanlin’s glance turned cold, "Not yet. With the ruckus you’ve all caused these past few days, do you really think others are fools?

Act cautiously. We must bide our time for this matter, it must be done when the opportunity is just right."

Zhang Jiujang nodded, his earlier displeasure swept away instantly.

In Yu County, a small bout of excitement had stirred things up, but it was quick to return to its usual peace.

Inside Xujia Village, the place was now bustling with extraordinary liveliness.

Mrs. Xu was planning to quickly tie up her son’s marriage before he went to take the examinations, or else, should he pass and go off to study, who knew when the wedding would eventually take place.

Xu Ren Guo thought the same, as Captain Xu’s household was living increasingly better these days. Once Second Brother Xu passed the university entrance exam, there would be no shortage of temptations outside.

If he got sidetracked, Xu Ren Guo immediately grew restless and went straight to Mr. Xu’s home. The two old men sat down together and started preparing for the wedding.

Suddenly Xujia Village was wrapped in an atmosphere of happiness—Second Brother Xu had worked for a year, with all his living expenses covered, and had managed to save up two hundred yuan.

The dowry and such were all taken care of by Mr. and Mrs. Xu, and for the remaining small items, Second Brother Xu generously footed the bill himself.

He bought several times the amount of wedding candy that a normal family would purchase for a marriage, and he even specially ordered a cake from the county.

On the wedding day, the celebrations were intense. The entire Xu Family village turned up, giving plenty of face to Mr. Xu.

Even people from outside villages came to show support.

Dressed in a bright red outfit and holding a bouquet, Second Brother Xu walked into the courtyard with Xu Qiuye on his arm, both sporting beaming smiles.

Xu Ying stood in the courtyard, looking at her second brother with a smile that curved the corners of her mouth—it seemed like life was moving in a favorable direction.

Neither her second nor third brothers had been arrested.

And Second Brother Xu had gotten his wish and married Sister Qiu Ye.

"Accountant Xu, your daughter is really lucky to be marrying into the Xu Family," teased many villagers.

A glance at Third Brother Xu revealed that he had begun to have some thoughts of his own.

Second Brother Xu might be out of the running, but the third son of the Xu family wasn’t married yet.

Curious, everyone turned to Third Brother Xu and asked, "Shengwu, your second brother’s married now, and next month it’s your younger sister’s turn. When will you, as the older brother, get married?"

"That’s right, Shengwu, do you have someone in mind?

Otherwise, let your aunt introduce you to someone; my niece back at my maiden home is quite a catch," an eager village matron said.

If this match panned out, her family could also bask in some reflected glory.

Captain Xu’s family was a big deal nowadays. If they could forge ties, their future was set for life.

No sooner had the matron finished than another woman interjected anxiously, "Your niece isn’t very pretty; how could she be a match for my niece? Shengwu, my niece is beautiful and a high school graduate.

Not only does she have good height, but she’s also capable both in and outside the home. Consider her, will you?"

The courtyard instantly erupted with people clamoring and vying to matchmake for Xu Shengwu.

Xu Ren Guo watched the fervent scene and couldn’t help but feel once more that his daughter had good judgment.

It was a good thing she hadn’t married into that Zhou Yang’s family, or she would’ve been unhappy for the rest of her life.

The Xu family lived close to Zhou Yang’s house, so naturally, they heard all sorts of rumors.

After Xu Qiuye had firmly rejected Zhou Yang, the Zhou family promptly found another marriage prospect for him.

Though the newlyweds’ life started off well, Zhu Yang’s mother-in-law turned out to be a tyrant. She tormented her daughter-in-law daily until it came to the point of discussing divorce.

It was said that Mrs. Xu was quite good to her daughter-in-law and had mentioned before that once all three of her sons were married, she would divide the family property.

Now Xu Ren Guo was discreetly observing Xu Shengwu, wondering why the young man wasn’t in a hurry to get married.
