Chapter 153: Mother and Son
In the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiabao has been kneeling there for almost two hours.
After coming out of his sister, he didn't go to his mother immediately in a reckless manner, but thought about it carefully, and made up his mind when he felt that he couldn't find any other way.
Seeing his mother's haggard appearance, he opened his mouth several times to say and swallowed it back silently, until he had lunch with his mother, he still couldn't speak.
Let's wait for my mother's lunch break, he said to himself.
However, Wu saw his abnormality, waved back and asked him, "Is there anything you want to tell your mother?" β
Zhang Jiabao lowered his gaze and neither nodded nor shook his head.
"Can't speak? Something to do with the eldest sister? β
Zhang Jiabao raised his head, he didn't need to say anything, Wu Shi, who had been staring at him, knew that he had guessed correctly, and brushed his sideburns and hair, Wu tried his best to make himself look less concerned about the weight of others in his son's heart than himself, "My mother has no brains, and I am grateful to treat you haode people, you don't have to feel embarrassed, just say something, but if your mother can agree, your mother will agree." β
"Although the matter is related to my sister, this is my son's decision, and my son is not easy to speak, because my son doesn't know this decision, and my mother can accept it."
"Our family Bao'er has really grown up, your father has always been proud of you, and once said that there are successors to the Zhang family, and no matter how much he makes for the Zhang family, he won't worry that you won't be able to keep it then." Wu's eyes were red, but the corners of his mouth were hooked, revealing a shallow smile, "Mother believes in your father's words, our Bao'er will definitely support the Zhang family, it will not be worse than when the master was alive, as long as it is for your haode business." My mother can bear any grievances, and she can suffer any hardships, you don't have to worry that your mother can't stand it, just say, en? β
Looking at such a mother, Zhang Jiabao suddenly remembered that before his father passed away, he hadn't spoken to his mother so calmly for a long time, he was upset for his sister, he couldn't look down on his mother's tricks, and he hated his mother for not treating his sister as her own daughter. forced her to leave home and live and die.
So he rarely lived at home for the past few years. Even if he comes back, he won't stay long before leaving, and his mother has been so angry with him that he cried several times, it's not that he doesn't know, but although he is sad. but the heart is even more happy.
He thought. You're doing this to your eldest sister. I'm going to treat you like this.
At that time, he didn't know how painful it was to be treated like this by his own son.
Now, he knows and regrets it.
"What are you crying about? My mother just said that you have grown up. "Wiping away my son's tears. Wu's tears also flowed, but he still laughed and joked.
Kneeling down in front of the Wu family, Zhang Jiabao grabbed her hand and held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and the words he said were sonorous, "Mother, the Zhang family will not be defeated in my hands, you can rest assured, Dad's wish will definitely come true, you will still be the mistress of the Zhang family, no one can bully you, but before that, we must endure for a while." β
The clenched hand was even harder, "I plan to go to the pavilion with my sister, mother, don't be in a hurry to oppose it first, listen to me." β
Wu's face turned pale, and he bit his lip and nodded.
The words had already begun, but Zhang Jiabao said it neatly, "Mother must not know, my sister's brother-in-law is a disciple of Wuwei Daoist, and my father must not know, so some things will be done so absolutely." β
Wu's eyes widened in shock, how could it be possible for a disciple of Wuwei Dao Master, if he was really a disciple of Wu Wei Dao Master, how could he swallow his anger like this!
"Just the day before his son went to Huiting, it was the day when the Xia family's brother-in-law got married, he married the daughter of the Fu family, the lord of Huiting City, and was married by Wuwei Daochang, and several disciples of Wuwei Daochang were all present, aside from this, even my sister's fiancΓ© is also a capable person, mother, I must follow my sister, only by my sister's side, I can be safe, only by my sister's side, I can grow, I don't believe in anyone, only believe in my sister, I want to follow my sister.
I want my sister to always recognize me as a younger brother, hoping that one day she can come back to the Zhang family, without those grievances and grievances, just because the head of the Zhang family is me, it should be an ordinary movement between relatives, my father owes my sister, mother, you also owe my sister, Zhang Qiaoer owes more, you are my blood relatives, break the bones and tendons, I want to be good to my sister, and return the little bit you owe to her, even if you want to pay it back for the rest of your life, I am willing.
I don't want to think of my sister when I die, I still feel guilty, I don't want my sister to be so haode but the kinship is weak, even if I can't help her with anything, I hope that when she turns back, at least my younger brother will be there, my sister has never thought about getting anything from me, and she has no idea about the Zhang family, and feelings are what she cherishes the most. β
Wu closed her eyes, she wanted to say, Bao'er, you said this, how can I be embarrassed as a mother, but she can't say anything except trembling.
Because she is irrefutable.
"I know that you don't like me to get too close to my sister, since I was a child, as long as I get closer to my sister, you will think of a way to keep me away, I know, no matter how reluctant I am sometimes I will obey your wishes, because you and I am my mother, I have to listen to you, to be filial to you, I am your son, you were born, no one can cut such a bond, you know how well my sister treats me, but I just can't tolerate her, but do you know, children are the most sensitive, who is true and who is false, the most clearly, So I've not been close to Zhang Qiao'er since I was a child, what kind of person Zhang Qiao'er is Now you can see it, you complain that it's not worth it for me to be alienated from you for an outsider...... Still don't you think it's worth it? β
Wu has nothing to say, her son's life was saved by others, can she say that it is not worth it?
She has done a lot of bad things, but now she doesn't dare to say such a bad thing, she is afraid that the retribution will be on her son.
"Have you ever thought about what the Zhang family would become without a backbone?"
"I've also considered the worst-case scenario, after I left, the Zhang family closed its doors, don't fight anymore, make way for others, Dad will inevitably go away, but Dad's old friends won't turn their faces immediately, and it will still be okay to take care of one or two to accumulate a good karma for themselves without affecting their own interests, mother, I'm fourteen years old this year, as long as I endure for a few years, I will definitely be able to support the Zhang family, Qi Zhensheng can revive the Qi family, I will never be worse than him."
Wu snorted, proud and sad, her son was obviously only fourteen, and he should have been at the age of calling friends and making absurd plays, but now he had to think about the survival of the family and plan for the family, if the old man was still alive, how could he put the burden on his son's immature shoulders so early.
Zhang Qiao'er, Zhang Qiao'er, how can you be worthy of me and your father to spoil you and protect you for eighteen years.
"As for the side branch of the family...... Zhang Jiabao couldn't feel his mother's psychology at all, and all his mental strength was used to analyze the current situation of the Zhang family, "There must be restless people, and there will be those who want to replace our branch, you don't care, let them go, as long as they have the ability, what if they let the east wind overwhelm the west wind?" If they can do it, just use their beginnings to make our team more silent, I am not afraid of being forgotten, as long as I have learned the ability, I am not afraid of no future. β
"And the Wu family, mother, it's not that I underestimate my grandfather's family, you and your father have promoted them for so many years, and there are good things that have never forgotten them, but there has been no one who has been fighting for so many years, the shelf is very sloppy, you have to warn them, in the future, no one can clean up the mess for them if they get into trouble, tell them to be more restrained, don't complain about the Zhang family when they live or die, the Zhang family is now taking care of themselves and can't take care of others."
"Jiabao, don't be so rude to your brother."
"Your own brother? Mother, what have they done for me as brothers? Even stealing a chance to play tricks on my father's wake, I want to be polite to them? You wait and see, if the Zhang family without a father is still in their eyes, you don't have too high expectations for them, so as not to break your heart. β
Wu Shi turned his head, his face was blue and red, how could she not know what kind of virtue her mother's family was, if they could help them up, why would the Zhang family choose to avoid it as soon as something happened to the master, and why would the young son not dare to expect anyone to pick it up on his shoulder.
And what is different from this anyone is the eldest sister.
"And Zhang Qiao'er, mother, you must not be soft-hearted, it is rumored outside that Qi Zhensheng is to protect my injury, although I was frightened at that time, my eyes were not blind, Qi Zhencheng was not by my side, but at that moment he appeared, could it be that he was a prophet of the future, knowing that someone was going to kill me, he was waiting there? And that knife seems to be ferocious, from my point of view, it is obvious that there is still room for power, if someone really wants my life, how can it be merciful? This is Qi Zhensheng's plan, he is using this method to clear his suspicion, if people have always suspected that the death of his father-in-law is related to him, who will believe him in the future? Who would dare to believe him? But who but he has a grudge against me and wants to attack me? β
"Your father is no longer here, and the people who supported the Zhang family before will never come to hold your child, why does he still want to shoot at you?"
"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, my father has been working hard for decades, how the family background is, my mother should know better than me, if the Zhang family is extinct, who else can you rely on? Even if you hate him so much that you don't want to put everything in his hands, do you think he won't get it? Mother, you think too simply, Qi Zhensheng is not a righteous gentleman, since he is plotting against the Zhang family, he will definitely get his wish, Wuyang is his territory, only if I leave the Zhang family will there be a chance of life, otherwise not only I am in danger, but you are also the same. β
Wu's body trembled slightly, and at this time she couldn't help but think, if she hadn't obstructed it back then, and let the eldest sister marry into the Qi family smoothly, what would be the situation now? Master, will you leave too soon?
Eldest sister, she will definitely understand it better than Zhang Qiao'er.
"So mother, I have to leave."
The Wu family let out a long sigh, got up and turned his back to him, "Mother won't stop you, this is your own decision, go to the ancestral hall, and think carefully in front of the ancestors and ancestors of the Zhang family." (To be continued......)
