Chang Meilan saw her husband being so angry and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Did something happen to Brother Zhang?"
Chang Meilan didn't think Xia Changqing was scolding Zhang Ran.
Xia Changqing sighed and looked at her hesitantly. Chang Meilan became even more curious, "Why are you looking at me like this? Does it still have something to do with me?"
"That's right. Zhang Ran called me and said that I was unkind and embarrassed him by saying that something given to me was for him." Xia Changqing said it a bit euphemistically.
However, Chang Meilan has been with Xia Changqing for so many years, and she can still understand this after hearing and seeing it.
"What's going on?" Chang Meilan asked nervously.
"I don't know the specifics, but it definitely has something to do with your village, and it has something to do with the jade bracelet." Xia Changqing said solemnly.
Even if he doesn't know what happened now, he can still guess something.
Xia Changqing also knew that Zhang Ran was not here to scold him, but to give him a notice.
How could Xia Changqing not know that this jade bracelet was given to him
It was indeed intended to be given to Zhang Ran before, but just as Zhang Ran thought, when the jade bracelet was sent back again, it was no longer for Zhang Ran.
Xia Changqing didn't want it at that time, but he couldn't bear the excuses and the pleading of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he finally accepted it.
The reason why Xia Changqing gave this jade bracelet to Zhang Ran was not for himself, but for the people of Tianjiashan.
He knew very well that the reason why Tianjiashan was living so well now was not only because he took care of them, but also because Zhang Ran found a way for them to survive.
Tianjiashan's biggest source of income is growing herbal medicines and then selling them to Yaotian Pharmaceutical. This has been going on for more than thirty years, and the prices are much higher than some other herbal medicine dealers.
No matter how good Tian Yaohui was, he never touched this area of interest, let alone made things difficult for these people, and even took more care of them.
Now that Yaotian Pharmaceutical is back in the hands of Zhang Ran again, and it has a tendency to grow bigger, what Xia Changqing wanted at that time was to help people like Tian Jiashan get back in touch with Zhang Ran.
Xia Changqing understands Zhang Ran and knows that he attaches great importance to feelings. If the jade bracelet comes up, then it is absolutely conceivable that Zhang Ran will definitely help the people in Tianjiashan in the future.
But Xia Changqing's good intentions seemed to have the opposite effect.
"If nothing else happens, I guess Zhang Ran should have been to Tianjiashan today." Xia Changqing said.
This is already his thinking in the best direction.
"By the way, have you told anyone in your family about the jade bracelet?" Xia Changqing asked worriedly.
Chang Meilan shook her head and said, "Not yet. I originally planned to talk about it when I go back and take a look later."
She also understood what Xia Changqing meant. If those people took the initiative to ask Zhang Ran for the jade bracelet, she couldn't imagine how embarrassed Zhang Ran would be at that time.
"I'm calling to ask about the situation." Chang Meilan couldn't sit still. One was her family and the other was her savior. Of course she was anxious. At this moment, how she hoped that these were all misunderstandings!
The call was quickly connected, and Chang Meilan also turned on the external voice and spoke in Mandarin so that Xia Changqing could hear clearly.
"Lanlan, when will you come back to see us?" Chang Meilan's mother said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
Chang Meilan said: "Let's take a look at this. I want to ask you something. You must answer me honestly."
"That said, can I still lie to you?" the old lady said.
"Is Brother Zhang in the village now?" Chang Meilan took a deep breath and asked.
The old lady quickly realized who she was asking, "How do you know?"
"Don't worry about how I knew it, and what happened to the jade bracelet?"
"He complained to Xiaoxia? This person is real." The old lady muttered.
At this moment, Chang Meilan suddenly laughed out of anger. Zhang Ran complained? Does Zhang Ran need to complain to Xia Changqing
"Do you know how your daughter survived?"
"We didn't talk about the jade bracelet. He wanted to return it himself. It's none of our business." The old lady heard the anger in Chang Meilan's tone and quickly distanced herself from the relationship.
"And he also said that the people in our village are not good people and told us not to have contact with those children. Is there anyone who talks like this?" the old lady said dissatisfied.
"Okay, let's not talk about my affairs now. This is what I personally owe to Brother Zhang. Do you still remember the days when the poor in our village couldn't even eat
Back then, let alone meat and fish, we couldn’t even eat two meals a day. At that time, who helped us get out of the predicament, not only gave us a way to survive, but also helped us make a fortune. Even now, he has taken into account the current situation. Now the village The ability to receive tourists inside was the plan given by Brother Zhang back then.
Brother Zhang didn't do anything to apologize to us, right? On the contrary, they are the life benefactors of our entire village. How can you do this? "
Chang Meilan's voice was a little sad. She really didn't expect that her family would become like this.
When she said this, the old lady was speechless for a moment, but in the end she muttered: "We just have to pay him back the money he lent us back then."
As soon as these words came out, not only Chang Meilan was stunned, but also Xia Changqing, who had been listening to the side, laughed angrily.
At this moment, Xia Changqing also understood why Zhang Ran called. It meant that he really had no feelings for Tianjia Shanzhaizi.
These people in Tianjiashan thought that they no longer needed to rely on Zhang Ran. They had Xia Changqing, and a second nobleman would arrive soon.
Who is Zhang Ran
They have long forgotten it in their hearts!
Xia Changqing has been busy with work these years and rarely goes to his father-in-law's house. Even if he does, the reception and attitude there are very eager, and he doesn't feel much change.
But now, Xia Changqing knows that he was wrong. These people have completely changed their faces. The grace of survival in the past has become a matter of borrowing and repaying money.
"Hang up." Xia Changqing said lightly.
Chang Meilan wanted to say something else, but seeing Xia Changqing's face, she hesitated and hung up the phone.
"Honey, I know it's difficult for you, but once you intervene now, things will get worse." Xia Changqing sighed.
"What should we do now?" After all, it was her mother's family. Although she felt a little disdainful of her mother's family's behavior, she could not just let it go.
"Just wait and see what happens. The choices they make will have to bear the consequences themselves." Xia Changqing said lightly.
Chang Meilan opened her mouth, but in the end she could only sigh and stop talking.
