Principal Su didn't know why he said that. Maybe he just wanted to make Zhang Ran have hope again
Principal Su is the one who knows the most about the situation among parents and teachers. She knows some things about Zhang Ran and Tianjia Village.
So she also saw Zhang Ran's fleeting look of envy, so she blurted out what she just said.
The aunt and the aunt's son looked at Zhang Ran almost subconsciously, but their eyes began to become wary.
It's not that they are overly worried, but a group of people suddenly came today, and then someone said that they knew their third brother, so one of the young men was named Zhang Ran, and he was over fifty. How could they not be more suspicious.
They are more honest, but not stupid.
"Your name is Zhang Ran too?" Zhang Ran could tell what the aunt meant from her words.
Zhang Ran smiled complicatedly and said, "It's just the same name. Sister, don't mind."
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and just lowered his head to eat in silence.
The aunt was originally full of doubts, but Zhang Ran's behavior made her hesitate again, and there seemed to be nothing to deceive in their village
"You guys eat first, I'll go out for a while." The aunt said, and then walked out by herself.
Huo Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Ran, then at He Yong, and whispered: "Do you know this Zhu San?"
He Yong nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, he should be the third child."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhang Ran and then whispered: "You also know what happened back then. Zhu San was also one of Brother Zhang's bodyguards. Back then..."
As he spoke, He Yong whispered the past events to Huo Zhiyuan. He also knew that sometimes Huo Zhiyuan persuaded Zhang Ran to be much better than him, and he felt that he was the stupidest and didn't know what to say.
When he found out that the third brother was Zhu San, He Yong was actually very happy deep down in his heart.
If Zhang Ran regards people except He Yong as friends, then He Yong actually regards these people as brothers.
Now that Zhu San can do this, he feels very happy.
While they were eating, the aunt came back, and this time the village chief came with her.
After chatting for a while, the village chief asked expectantly: "Brother, I heard that you know the third brother?"
He Yong nodded and said: "If I don't admit my mistake, I should know him."
"Then do you know what happened to Third Brother recently? Two years ago, he sent a message saying that he was not feeling well, but it has been two years and there has been no news at all. We are very worried about Third Brother," the village chief said.
This is why the aunt brought him here. They are really worried about Zhu San!
He Yong was actually a little anxious, but he didn't know Zhu San's current situation. "I don't know that either. Lao San and I haven't seen each other for almost thirty years."
Hearing what he said, the village chief and the aunt suddenly showed disappointed looks on their faces, but the suspicion in their hearts became lighter.
If He Yong said that he had a good relationship with Zhu San, then they would still have some doubts.
But now He Yong says they haven’t seen each other for almost 30 years, and obviously they don’t have a particularly good relationship.
At this moment, Zhang Ran suddenly said: "Did Zhu San say anything when he asked you to set up this longevity tablet?"
The village chief and the aunt looked at each other, and the aunt shook her head and said, "No, just let us set up this longevity tablet."
"No, Third Brother seems to have said that before. Let me think about what he said at that time." The village chief said.
The village chief thought for a while and then said hesitantly: "The third brother seemed to have said some words that we couldn't understand, but the overall meaning seemed to be for us to pray that his benefactor would be safe and sound. It seems that the benefactor of the third brother had appeared at that time. Something happened.”
After thinking about it, the village chief slowly recalled it, and immediately clapped his thigh and said, "I remember, that's what the third brother seemed to have said at that time."
The village chief said with a look of reminiscence: "The third brother said at that time, 'Mr. Zhang has disappeared. You all think he is dead, but I don't believe that Mr. Zhang will be fine.' It seems that this is what he said."
But there was one thing the village chief didn't say, that is, Zhu San also said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Ran remained silent after hearing this. He didn't ask any more questions and just ate his food.
However, He Yong asked: "Brother, I heard that many nearby villages enshrine this longevity tablet?"
"Yes, we all have received a lot of favors from Third Brother. It can be said that many people's lives were saved by Third Brother. This is the only request Third Brother has for us, and it has become a habit after so many years." Chang sighed.
"Then do you know where Zhu San went? I heard that they have been here for almost 20 years. How could they suddenly disappear? Don't you all know where he lives?" He Yong asked.
However, while speaking, he secretly looked at Zhang Ran and found that Zhang Ran had no expression, and he was secretly relieved.
The village chief smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't know about this. The third brother basically lived near us at the beginning, but it only lasted two or three years. I heard that his daughter was born, and then he moved out. , but every year he comes to stay for a while, and whenever something happens, as long as we call him, he will come over to help us.”
"What about the phone number? Where do you live?" He Yong asked again.
"We asked, especially when we heard that the third brother was in poor health. Although we didn't have much money, we scraped together some money to give to the third brother, but every time we asked him where he lived, he wouldn't tell him.
He didn't even want the money we gave him. He even stopped answering our calls after we talked too much. He basically didn't answer our calls in the past year. He only asked us to send messages if he had something to do. "The village chief said helplessly.
"Can you give me your phone number?" He Yong asked.
"This...?" The village chief hesitated immediately. He still doesn't know whether these people are good or bad.
The reason why he said so much was because He Yong said he knew Zhu San, and if he was Zhu San's enemy, he said this to ask them not to pursue anything further.
This can be regarded as some little wisdom from mountain people!
He Yong saw his hesitation, thought for a while and said, "How about this? Just call him and say... Just say..." He Yong looked at Zhang Ran as he said that.
However, Zhang Ran remained silent and ate his food with peace of mind.
He Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Just say that Brother Zhang is back and you want to see him and ask where he is."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Ran and found that Zhang Ran didn't express anything, and he felt relieved.
If the village chief and the others don't understand now, then they are really fools. After all, as long as they make the call and hear the voice, they will know if it is true or false.
