The next day, Mrs. Zhang asked her servant to prepare good gifts and put them in the trunk of the car. Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Zhiling and Zhang Shujun got into the car.
Zhang Shujun drove, and Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Zhiling sat in the back seat. Mrs. Zhang asked: "Zhiling, you have to say more nice things when we get to Ou's house later. Yazhu has a good impression of you. All you have to do is please her." Now, An'an's matter is over, you can't have a little temper when you get there, do you understand?"
"Mom, don't worry, I know this without you teaching me." Zhang Zhiling suppressed her dissatisfaction and said.
Mrs. Zhang sighed and showed weakness at the right time.
"Zhiling, my mother was anxious and said some unpleasant things to you yesterday. My original intention was not to let you sacrifice for the sake of this family, but you are going to get married after all, so you should help the Zhang family."
Zhang Zhiling felt cold after hearing this. This was really what a mother said. She said that her sons and daughters' palms and backs were full of flesh. She didn't expect that her mother would be like this.
Zhang Zhiling sneered in her heart, but she said obediently: "What mom said is that as long as I can marry into the Ou family, I will definitely help the Zhang family. Compared with Ou Tingting, a daughter who will get married sooner or later, I think I As the daughter-in-law of the Ou family, I have more say in front of Qingheng. Why don’t you help me with this matter? There are rumors in the upper class circles that I am about to get engaged to Qingheng. If it doesn’t happen in the end, I will be slapped in the face. It’s also the Zhang family. Mom shouldn’t want this to happen, right? This is related to my brother’s reputation. If the Zhang family is really ridiculed, do you think Ou Tingting will be willing to marry in? "
Mrs. Zhang looked at her deeply.
Zhang Zhiling looked back at her innocently and said: "Mom, my daughter doesn't mean to be bad-mouthed, I just want you to bet on two people. After all, it will be useless if the eldest brother marries Ou Tingting. With my daughter to help, Zhang Zhiling The family business run by the family will not be divided up by other relatives with ulterior motives."
Mrs. Zhang was thoughtful.
Zhang Zhiling sat obediently next to Mrs. Zhang, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became completely quiet.
The car drove into the Ou family's main house unknowingly.
After getting off the car, Zhang Zhiling took Mrs. Zhang's hand and walked in front, while Zhang Shujun carried many bags of gifts alone.
Mrs. Zhang looked at it distressedly and said: "Shujun, can you lift it? How about mom help you lift it a little?"
Before Zhang Shujun could speak, Zhang Zhiling said first: "Mom, this is what a gentleman calls me. If Aunt Ou sees it, it will get extra points. If you help me carry it, I'm afraid Aunt Ou will think that he can't even carry a few bags." , and let a woman carry it, brother, do you think I am right?"
Zhang Shujun just glanced at her.
"Mom, I'm fine. Let's go quickly."
Mrs. Zhang said nothing more.
Entering the hall, Mrs. Ou and Father Ou were nowhere to be seen.
The Ou family's housekeeper came up and said, "Mrs. Zhang, Master Zhang, Miss Zhang. Hello."
"Where are the Yazhu people?" Mrs. Zhang asked kindly.
"The master and his wife went to the hospital. They said that the red spots on the young master's body were not getting better. They were worried, so they went to have a look. They also told me that if you come, just sit here and wait. They may be cured soon. I'll be back," the steward said.
Mrs. Zhang immediately looked worried.
"Is An'an's condition serious? How about I go see him? To suffer such a crime at such a young age is indirectly caused by Zhiling and Shujun, and it is also our fault."
"Mrs. Zhang, no need. Madam said, if you come, just wait here. Don't go back and forth, it's tiring." The housekeeper said without doubt.
“…”
There was no way, Mrs. Zhang and the other three had no choice but to sit on the sofa and wait.
They waited for nearly five hours.
It was past noon, and whether intentionally or not, the housekeeper didn't even prepare their lunch.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said politely: "Mrs. Zhang, it's almost twelve o'clock now. I wonder if you would like to go back for dinner first?"
Mrs. Zhang's face changed. The guests came to the house and the master was absent. The servants didn't even prepare meals. This was a slap in their faces, as if their family was too poor to eat. On purpose It's like coming here to have a meal.
The evil fire in Mrs. Zhang's heart was rising, and it was about to burst out in her eyes. Zhang Shujun held her hand and shook his head gently at her. Mrs. Zhang just woke up from a dream. She had lost her temper just now. , then her forbearance in the past two years has come to nothing.
"It's okay, we're not hungry." Mrs. Zhang smiled.
Mrs. Zhang thought that the housekeeper would ask someone to prepare some food for them out of politeness, but it turned out that she didn't. She just said lightly: "Madam, please sit down and I'll go out for a while."
After saying that, the butler went out.
Only Mrs. Zhang and three others were left in the huge living room.
A look of sullenness flashed across Zhang Zhiling's face, and she said in a hateful voice: "Mom, this person is going too far. When Aunt Ou comes back, I will file a lawsuit against him properly. We are here as guests, and he really thinks that we are You’re here to beg.”
Although Mrs. Zhang is also angry, she is older than Zhang Zhiling and does not see things so superficially.
"Okay, stop making trouble. If this matter hadn't been instructed by Yazhu, a little housekeeper wouldn't have embarrassed the guests invited by the master. It seems that Yazhu's anger this time is deeper than we thought. Zhiling, when she comes back later, you can say nice things to her and make her happy."
"Mom, I don't think Aunt Ou is so stingy, right?" Zhang Zhiling obviously still didn't believe it.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, sneered, and said: "Looking at Yazhu's gentle behavior, you really thought she was a harmless white lotus. She could please the old lady and old man Ou who were still alive at that time, and make them happy. Ou is completely devoted to her. A woman like Ou Qingheng, who is respectful to all the powerful people in the business world, do you think she will be a simple person? She is very clever, and it is natural to follow her wishes and win her favor. There are bound to be benefits, but if you really annoy her, I'm afraid you two won't be able to marry the Ou family's daughter or the Ou family's son if she says anything."
Zhang Zhiling felt that her mother's words were a bit alarmist.
"Mom, what you said is too exaggerated. Aunt Ou is not so powerful."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her again and thought to herself: After all, she is young. She only looks at the surface of the problem but doesn't know how to think deeply.
"Zhiling, you are still too young. When you really marry into the Ou family, you will know how powerful she is. I can tell you that the real speaker in the Ou family is definitely Yazhu, and Lao Ou and Ou Qing Heng is very powerful in Shanghai, but they all love Yazhu, and out of love for her, she often makes decisions."
Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and then said: "Zhiling, I asked you to befriend her just because I wanted you to marry into the Ou family quickly. It's a pity that you haven't really won over the hearts of the Ou family, mother and son." , to be honest, I’m really disappointed.”
“…”
They waited at Ou's house for five hours before Mrs. Ou and Father Ou came back.
"Yazhu, when I came here, I heard the servant say that An An had red spots on her body. How is An An? Is she okay?" Mrs. Zhang greeted her warmly and couldn't stop saying, "Yazhu, it's really..." I'm sorry, Shujun and Zhiling also regret buying that yogurt, so I'm going to force them both to apologize to you, and you can beat them or scold them as you please."
Mrs. Ou glanced at Mrs. Zhang and the three of them, her expression was a little dull, not as enthusiastic as before.
Mrs. Ou and Father Ou were sitting on the sofa on the other side. Mrs. Ou said softly: "I heard from the housekeeper that you have been here for nearly five hours. I am really sorry. The red spots on An An's body have not healed. The doctor said there is no It's not a serious problem, just apply some medicine and it will get better slowly, but An'an always says it is itchy and he suffers a lot. As a grandmother, I can't help him. It hurts just looking at it. If he doesn't drink that bottle of yogurt , and now he won’t be hospitalized.”
Listening carefully, there was a hint of complaint in Mrs. Ou's voice.
Mrs. Zhang felt a knot in her heart after hearing this, but she pretended to be quite guilty and said: "This matter was caused by Zhiling and Shujun. Together, these two people are almost sixty or seventy years old and yet they are so unreliable in their work." Pu, I feel very guilty. I brought them here today just to let you beat and scold them."
After saying that, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Shujun and Zhang Zhiling and said, "Shujun, Zhiling, why don't you come over and apologize?"
Zhang Shujun and Zhang Zhiling stood up, walked to Mrs. Ou, bowed to Mrs. Ou solemnly, and said: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's our brother and sister's fault. We just wanted to taste the taste of yogurt. In the end We gave them to a child in the main house without drinking them. We really didn't expect that An An would drink them. If we had known about them, we wouldn't have bought them before. I'm really sorry."
Mrs. Ou's expression softened.
"Shujun, Zhiling, I'm not an unreasonable person, and I know you didn't mean it, but An'an is my grandson after all. I feel sad when he suffers, and I can't help but feel angry and blame you. Don't blame me. His attitude is not good, and I am also heartbroken." Ou Fu said.
"Auntie, we did something wrong. If you want to fight, go ahead. My brother and I won't say anything. I sincerely regard auntie as my biological mother. I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm afraid that auntie really doesn't want to care. I'm dead, and my aunt said she treated her like her daughter-in-law." Zhang Zhiling lowered her head and said aggrievedly.
Mrs. Ou took a deep look at Zhang Zhiling and couldn't help but sigh.
"Auntie, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean it." Zhang Zhiling said obediently.
"You all sit down." Mrs. Ou pointed to the sofa and said: "You are my nephew and niece. I will not deliberately embarrass you, but Shujun and Tingting should not interact too much recently. I think Tingting needs to cultivate her moral character, she is stubborn, and she is afraid that she will not be able to be a qualified daughter-in-law if she gets married now."
Zhang Shujun's lowered eyelashes flickered, and the hand on his lap subconsciously moved a few times, but soon these little animals were like small stones thrown into the sea, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Auntie, are you planning not to let me date Tingting?" Zhang Shujun asked gently.
"Shujun, don't get me wrong. I just want you two to calm down. Tingting has a willful temper. If she follows you, I'm afraid she will make trouble for you."
"I'm not afraid. In my opinion, everything about Tingting is very cute. Even with her flaws, she is still so cute to me." Zhang Shujun said as if confessing his love.
“…”
The anger flashed across Mrs. Ou's eyes.
