Chapter 213: Don't bully the poor boy
Only the fourth sister said with a look of reluctance:
"Don't say that, after the younger brother was sent away by his father, he never asked his father for a penny.
And to be able to come back to celebrate grandma's birthday in time for grandma's birthday, the heart has arrived, and it doesn't matter what gift you give. ”
The fourth sister Zhang Yue, as a woman, is naturally not qualified to inherit Zhang Cai's property, so for the fifth brother Zhang Li, she is not as disgusted as the other brothers, but she also helps Zhang Li speak.
Zhang Li heard the fourth sister speak for herself, and she was moved in her heart, and she was about to say something.
I didn't want my eldest brother Zhang Jie to sneer, so he said loudly:
"Hey, this kid has been gone for more than ten years, and he hasn't even sent a letter back home, if he hadn't returned suddenly today, I would have forgotten that I still have such a younger brother, grandma, she is old, I'm afraid I have forgotten you as a person."
The second brother Zhang Shi shook his head and said:
"The eldest brother is wrong, how can you say that the younger brother also prepared a sour word for grandma?
Maybe grandma will take a look at this sour word and think of such a sour person? Hahaha! ”
"You ......"
Zhang Li's hands were clenched into fists, his face full of anger, just when he was about to attack.
Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind several people:
"When I came down to greet Grandma Zhangfu, dare to ask who will receive the gift?"
When I turned my head, I saw a young man with beautiful eyebrows, six burly men and his own little servants, who had already stood behind everyone at some point, and sent an invitation in his hand.
The heirs of the Zhang family all looked at these people with strange expressions, because they didn't have anything in their hands, so what kind of courtesy?
Zhang Yue stepped forward to take the invitation and glanced at it, and asked:
"Your Excellency is Chen Ling Chen Gongzi?"
Chen Ling was naturally a fake name forged by Hou Shigui, and he used this fake name when he checked in at the inn.
That's why Zhang Cai's invitation will write this name.
After Hou Shigui nodded yes, Zhang Yue asked with a smile:
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, where is the courtesy? I'm going to let people mention it. ”
This time, without waiting for Hou Shigui to speak, Lu Xing'an behind him walked up, took out twenty silver tickets with a face value of 1,000 taels from his arms and handed them to his palm:
"These 20,000 taels of silver are my son-in-law's salute."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Twenty thousand taels of silver!! For a birthday banquet, he gave a full 20,000 taels of silver?!!
I'm afraid this man is not the illegitimate son of his own father, right?
Everyone looked at the silver ticket in Zhang Yue's hand in a daze, and even Zhang Yue was stunned and looked at the silver ticket in his hand in a daze:
"This ...... This ......"
Zhang Yue was speechless, but the eldest brother Zhang Jie was extremely clever.
Thinking that he could take out 20,000 taels of silver, he was by no means an idle person, so he hurriedly piled up a smile and stepped forward to greet him:
"Your guest, please, in Xiazhang Fujie, my father's eldest son, I will take the distinguished guest to a good position and sit down first."
After that, he didn't forget to glance back at Zhang Li and ordered:
"Just arrange a mat for this kid outside the courtyard and sit down."
Too much deception!!
He is his father's biological son, but the treatment is not as good as that of an outsider?
Zhang Li wanted to lose his temper, but in front of Hou Shigui, he also knew that it was not good for outsiders to be present to make people laugh, so he endured this breath.
I thought that I had endured it for more than ten years, and I didn't care about this moment.
More than ten years ago, since my father sent him to that gym, he has ignored himself, and even his daily living expenses have not been sent to him.
Also, they say I haven't sent a letter home in more than a decade?
How is this possible! Every holiday, I write to my family, but I never receive a reply.
Zhang Li knew that something was wrong, not when he was impulsive, and waited for the eldest brother to bring someone into Zhang's mansion.
He looked left and right, and saw that the second brother and the third brother regarded themselves as air, and they didn't want to pay attention to themselves.
Seeing this, the second sister Zhang Yue said:
"I'll take my little brother with me."
With that, he took Zhang Li into the courtyard.
On the way, Zhang Yue asked intentionally or unintentionally:
"Little brother, is this a teacher in the Dao Hall?"
Zhang Li replied:
"As early as five years ago, after the death of the Taoist priest of that hall, I had already left the hall."
"Oh? So why don't you go home? ”
For more than ten years, there has been no reply to the letter sent, not a word of greeting, this family, what do you do when you come back?
If I hadn't really remembered my mother, I wouldn't want to go back today!
But Zhang Li will not say this, only said:
"I met some friends and went somewhere else with them."
Zhang Li didn't want to say more, so Zhang Yue naturally wouldn't ask about it again, and asked instead:
"Little brother can start a family? Where is it? ”
Zhang Li's face turned red when he heard this, and he said in a low voice:
"I'm ashamed to say that I've been wandering in the world for five years, and I can't do anything, and I don't even have a place to stand, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yue's face had collapsed, and his face was full of impatience:
"Oh, I see."
Then, Zhang Yue raised his hand and pointed to a mat in the corner outside the staff and said:
"Little brother, just sit there, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
Without waiting for Zhang Li's reply, Zhang Yue turned around and left.
Zhang Li shouted from behind:
"Fourth sister, you haven't taken my words yet......"
But Zhang Yue didn't hear it, and walked out of the house in a blink of an eye to continue to welcome guests.
Zhang Li stayed where he was, looking at the lyrics in his hand in a daze, thinking that this was written to his grandmother with painstaking efforts, and it was not given to them, so why not accept it!
Then I turned my head to look at the seat, the seat was already full of people, and if I looked closely, it was a group of subordinates of the generous boy brother just now.
Do you want to sit with a bunch of people?
Zhang Li felt bitter in his heart, but quickly cheered himself up.
A person has been wandering alone for five years, what kind of grievance has he not suffered?
It's ten times more sour than this, a hundred times more wronged, don't you stick to it?
It's just that...... I thought that when I returned home, there would be a trace of warmth, but who knew that I was still facing this cold world.
Let's just go when we meet our mother.
Zhang Li walked up to Bao Ji and the others, clasped his fists and saluted:
"Hello, a few people."
He found a vacant seat next to Lu Xing'an and sat down.
When a few people quarreled before, Hou Shigui and his party also heard it.
When Lu Xingan saw him come to sit with him and the others, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Aren't you the heir of the Zhang family? Why are you sitting here? ”
And sure enough, they heard it.
Zhang Li smiled reluctantly and said:
"There are sitting, there are eating, where are these rules."
"Hey! You're good, let's both have two drinks! ”
Zhang Li's words reached Bao Ji's heart, and he was about to raise a glass to drink with him.
I didn't want to, but I was held down by Jiang Yong next to me:
"Don't forget the son's explanation."
Hearing Jiang Yong's reminder, Bao Ji realized that he was not really here to eat, but to accompany his son.
immediately put down the wine glass, and smiled inexplicably:
"I'm sorry, I forgot, I have internal injuries and can't drink for a short time."
A bunch of weirdos.
Zhang Li didn't care about them, just picked up the chopsticks and unceremoniously picked up a large piece of meat and put it into his bowl.
