Chapter 49

· Zhang Family

Only one person can be called Mrs. Zhang by the Tang family, that is the wife of the Zhang family who Tang Xueping is about to marry.

The Zhang family is a local household in Hangzhou and lives with the Tang family from south to north. Although they are all from the business district, one specializes in tea and the other is a grocery store. They didn't deal much with each other in the past. They just met a nod at banquets from other families. The Zhang family treats people kindly and does business without any deception. They have a very good reputation in Hangzhou city.

However, the Zhang family is not strong, and Mrs. Zhang only has one son and one daughter. Her son is Zhang Zili, who is about to marry Tang Xueping. She has been very smart since childhood and has a business mind. Now Mr. Zhang has retreated to the second line and has handed over the two grocery shops in Hangzhou City to him. Her daughter is about the same age as Bai Rongxuan, and she has a shy and shy personality. When she sees strangers, she always likes to hide behind her mother.

Mrs. Zhang took her daughter to the door today.

Huang was obviously a little surprised and didn't understand why the wife of the in-laws came here at this time. She looked at Mrs. Tang uneasyly, thinking that something was wrong with Tang Xueping's marriage. Her face became terrified and nervous, and her hands trembled.

After all, Mrs. Tang had seen the world. After a moment of silence, she immediately recovered as usual and said to Cui's mother, "Is the in-laws here? Come in quickly."

Huang came to his senses and went out with Cui's mother. Tang also stood up and was about to walk outside the door when he heard a hearty laughter coming from the yard, "Tell me, why didn't you say anything to me when you have an important guest at home? I still heard the news from Zili." Although he had a little complaint in his tone, he spoke lightly, and he knew that the owner of the voice was a cheerful person.

When Huang saw that she came because of Dong Yulu, she felt relieved, "The person who came is my niece. After all, he is a junior. No matter how shameless I am, I can't tell you."

"What younger generations are not younger generations?" Mrs. Zhang said indifferently, "In the future, we will be a family, and there will be contacts between relatives. How can I come and see the guests?"

As soon as the voice fell, Huang walked in with Mrs. Zhang's arm in, followed by the shy Zhang Yunniang.

Mrs. Zhang saw Mrs. Tang standing in front of the door at a glance, and greeted her with a smile, "Grandma, I haven't seen you one day. You have lost a lot of weight than last time. Do you have trouble sleeping?"

Tang smiled gently, "If you are tired, Mrs. Zhang is thinking about it. This is all my old habits that have been around for a long time, and it is not a problem."

Mrs. Zhang grabbed her hand affectionately.

The adults naturally wanted to make a living, but Bai Rongxuan fell on Zhang Yunniang at a glance. She was wearing a green bamboo dress today, with several elegant white orchids embroidered at the corners of the skirt, which made her look like a wooden lotus after the rain, simple and clean, like a glaze that is not stained with the world.

Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but think of her friendship with her in her previous life.

Zhang Yunniang has a low-key and shy personality, and is very keen to Bai Rongxuan's temper. Since Tang Xueping got married in the last life, the two have become diligent because of their in-laws. On the Dragon Boat Festival that year of his brother's death, they even made an appointment to go out to the West Lake for an outing. Zhang Yunniang and Bai Rongxuan were born in the same year and their birthday was two months younger than her.

Not long after his brother passed away, his mother left her again. Bai Rongxuan was stimulated by one sudden blow after another. At the most negative moment, she even thought about ending herself and following them. After learning the news, Zhang Yunniang came over and stayed with her for half a month, focusing on her daily life. When she turned over in the evening, Zhang Yunniang would definitely wake up first, "Rongxuan, do you want to drink water?"

The sound was as crisp as a spring, like a trickle of water nourishing her desperate and helpless heart.

Zhang Yunniang doesn't talk much, and she sits quietly on embroidery most of the time, occasionally looking up to see Bai Rongxuan's condition. Under her careful care, Bai Rongxuan can get out of bed in half a month. Only then did Zhang Yunniang feel relieved and comfort her a lot of words for the first time, and then she returned to the Zhang family exhausted.

Later, she learned that Bai Rongxuan was going to Shanghai to discuss with her temper. She came overnight in the cold autumn rain. Seeing that Bai Rongxuan made up her mind and stuffed her a purse without saying anything. Before leaving, she told her to put herself first no matter what happened, and if she had no way to find a way in Shanghai, she would come back quickly.

Before Bai Rongxuan could even see her off, Zhang Yunniang hurriedly left.

Unexpectedly, that farewell will become forever.

When she opened the purse she stuffed into her hand, there were actually a thick stack of silver notes, which were at least seven or eight hundred taels. It should be the private money she saved over the years. Bai Rongxuan's nose was sore and tears couldn't help falling down. However, when she set off, she did not bring the money, but handed it to Huang and asked her to hand it over to Zhang Yunniang no matter what.

Since then, she has traveled to Shanghai, Tianjin, and Peking... and finally has no chance to return to Hangzhou.

Unexpectedly, I actually met my future close friends in this life.

Bai Rongxuan's eyes fell directly on Zhang Yunniang, who was not familiar with her at the moment.

Zhang Yunniang also noticed her, and was so uncomfortable that she was staring at her that she wanted to hide behind her mother immediately.

Mrs. Zhang was saluting and greeting Mrs. Tang, "Old lady, are you all okay?"

"Thank you for your blessing." Mrs. Tang smiled politely, "I am fine. Although I am older every year, I have no major problems in my health and are in good spirits." She also told Madam Li, "Come and move a chair for my in-laws."

Mrs. Zhang turned around and greeted Zhang Yunniang, "Yunniang, say hello to the elders." She knew her daughter's personality best. She usually didn't go out of the door, she was timid and unwilling to speak, and she was most afraid of seeing strangers. Her children were thin and only had one son and one daughter, so she was the most spoiled. Her son Zhang Zili didn't have to worry about her when she was young. When she was old, she ran to the shop all day long. Even if she was concerned, she could never come to her. The daughter who had been with her always became the only sustenance. Although the Zhang family was not a wealthy family, she lived in Hangzhou for many years and had a reputation for the grocery store at home, and her life was still easy. So whatever her daughter wanted, she prepared to come out in advance before her daughter could speak.

However, as Zhang Yunniang grew older, Mrs. Zhang felt that she could not do this and followed her temperament. Especially the mother of her mother's birthday two years ago, she took her son and daughter back to celebrate her birthday. Needless to say, her son Zhang Zili was good at speaking and knowledgeable. She liked him very much when she saw her uncles and uncles. Everyone held his hand in close contact at the evening family banquet and drank until midnight.

But her daughter was much worse. She only knew to hide behind her when she met everyone. She could only say hello like a mosquito when introducing these relatives and friends to her at the beginning, and then she kept blushing and lowered her head, and didn't say anything. She looked helpless but couldn't bear to teach her daughter a lesson, so she could only turn a blind eye and let her go.

Mrs. Zhang was also a person who loved all kinds of kindness when she was in her parents' home. After getting married, she became the mistress of the family. The couple had a good relationship. In recent years, Mr. Zhang was doing business abroad but was clean and caring. He rarely went to the theater. Every day, he went back and forth between the home and the shop. Mrs. Zhang had never suffered any storms in her life, so she developed a passionate and cheerful personality, and she smiled whenever she met.

This time, when she returned to her parents' home, she happened to be in the off-season for the shop, so she simply took her children to stay at her home for a few more days. When the birthday party was almost gone, Mrs. Zhang's mother called her to her side and asked alone, "Zi Li is a good child. The day before yesterday his uncle came to me to praise him, saying that he was a rare business talent, and asked him if the marriage had been settled? If not, he could help contact the Li family."

The Li family is a well-known wealthy family in Mrs. Zhang's mother's house. Unfortunately, the family has no son to support the family. Mr. Li has six daughters. In his early years, he spoke to find a down-to-earth and capable husband for his daughters, and it is best to marry into the Li family to inherit the family business.

Mrs. Zhang naturally heard about their family affairs and was stunned when she heard the sound, "Why did the eldest brother suddenly think of introducing the girl from the Li family to himself?"
