Zhang Datie's family stood out among the guests who stayed.
Zhou Shuren and Zhulan looked at each other, but neither of them asked. If Zhang Datie's family really had something to say, they would definitely wait until all the guests left before telling them.
Now Li no longer needed to help entertain the guests, so she went to help clear the table and dishes.
Zhulan needed to entertain the female relatives, so Zhu sat in the corner. When she saw Zhulan looking over, she was not panicked at all and did not join in the conversation. Her hands were not idle either, and she kept eating snacks, as if she had not eaten enough at the table just now.
Zhulan ignored Zhu and greeted Zhou Wang and her in-laws with a smile.
Zhou Wangshi also saw Zhushi, but she was a guest, so she couldn't ask on behalf of Yangshi. Yangshi didn't say anything, so she didn't pay attention to Zhushi anymore. She said, "We're not in the same village anymore, so it'll be hard for me to come and chat with you."
Zhulan smiled and said, "It will be the same if I come back to the village more often to chat with my aunt in the future."
Her daughter is still in Zhoujia Village. The two villages are not far away, so it is very convenient to travel back and forth.
Zhou Wang likes to talk to Yang, and Yang listens to her. "Aunt, remember this. If you don't come, I will come to your house to talk to you."
"Don't worry, auntie. I will keep my word and will definitely go back to chat with you. However, after I go to Pingzhou, it will be difficult for me to come back. Please don't blame me for my words."
Mrs. Zhou Wang secretly thought that she had never thought that Zhou Shuren's family would be in such a situation today a year ago. Look at the people who came today. They are basically all well-known people in the county. The gifts alone piled up on the table. She was really envious. "When the time comes, I won't blame you. But when I go to Pingzhou, you have to entertain me."
“It’s natural.”
In the main hall, Zhou Shuren was also chatting. The Zhou clan members were happy that Zhou Shuren was doing well. The better Zhou Shuren developed, the more benefits the clan would benefit from in the future. The guests who came today were enough to make them proud.
Zhou Shuren didn't have many opportunities to speak. Most of the time he just watched others chat and silently sympathized with Li's family. It didn't take long for these old foxes from the Zhou family to be trapped. Look at the way the Zhou family members looked at the Li family's kindness. Smart people like naive ones!
The Yang brothers served as a background. They looked at each other and decided that they should stay away from the Zhou family in the future. These people were too cunning.
Zhang Datie lowered his head and drank tea with his mouth twitching. The people of Zhou family were not easy to deal with. Their own clan leader was afraid of Zhou clan leader, and sometimes they would rather take a detour than meet Zhou clan leader.
Zhang Datie thought that the Zhou family was just full of cunning people. They were too cunning to concentrate on their studies, otherwise the Zhou family would have become a big family long ago. But now it seems that the Zhou family is about to rise.
Rongchuan felt very complicated in the main hall. He had noticed that his parents had arrived a long time ago. He was nervous and worried that they would make a scene and ruin today's banquet. Unexpectedly, his parents had no intention of making a scene at all. Not only did they bring gifts, they also made sure his brother didn't make any noise and had the meal in peace.
But he had no intention of leaving. He kept staring at his father, and couldn't see anything from his father's face. But his intuition told him that something big was going to happen when his father came.
Chang Lian was tired for Rongchuan. Rongchuan was always tense and on guard. He began to resist Rongchuan, his cheap brother-in-law, for fear that he would take up his resources. Later, his father used Rongchuan to temper his temper. After a long time, he realized that everyone has intentions, including him. His cheap brother-in-law cared about him a lot, and later his perspective changed and he also acted like a brother.
He felt a little sorry for this cheap brother-in-law. It was not easy for him to be alive at such a young age. He had been raised at home for almost a year, but he hadn't grown much. Now seeing Rong Chuan nervous, he patted Rong Chuan on the back and said, "Relax, don't worry about anything, we have our father!"
Rongchuan blushed. He and Xuehan were engaged, but he had always called him uncle, even though he really wanted to call him dad. Now after hearing Changlian say that, he was happy that Changlian accepted him, but he became shy again.
Chang Lian realized what he had said belatedly and felt a toothache. Even if he accepted Rongchuan, Rongchuan would not marry his sister yet. He looked at his mouth and was really careless. He still needed to practice more.
Seeing that it was getting late, the table was cleared, the dishes were washed, and the kitchen was tidy.
Zhou Shuren stood up and took the curious relatives around, and Zhulan also followed behind with her people.
After the tour, everyone was enlightened. The Zhou family members left with satisfaction, and the Li family also went back.
Several uncles of the Li family are here today, as well as the head of Li Village and his family. They all have vested interests in this matter, and they all brought valuable gifts when they came.
At the Yang family, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren personally saw them off. Zhulan gave most of the unused pork to her eldest and second brothers' families. She also gave the cloth received as gifts to her eldest and second sisters-in-law. As a thank you, Zhulan also gave enough cloth to make a set of clothes to each of her nieces and nephews-in-law.
The grandchildren of the Yang family didn't want to go, so Zhulan tried to keep them there, but it was useless. They were still forcefully carried to the ox cart by their mothers. Zhulan could still hear her nephew crying after the cart had gone a long way. He must have been slapped.
Zhou Shuren let out a long sigh, "Finally, I can have some peace and quiet. It's been so noisy today that it hurts my head."
Zhulan supported Zhou Shuren, "Your back and waist must be hurting more. You've been sitting for almost a whole day. I'm glad you could bear it."
She really admired Zhou Shuren. This man was very hard on himself. Zhou Shuren's success was not an accident. It was the result of his hard work.
Zhou Shuren didn't care about his face anymore. He just couldn't bear it anymore. He took a breath and said, "Stop talking. My lower back hurts even more after you said that. It seems that even if I apply the medicine, I won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Zhulan was so distressed that she said, "I'll take you back. Leave Zhang Datie's family matters to me."
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Zhang Datie won't tell me if he can't see me. I'm fine and can hold on for a while."
Boss Zhou wanted to go forward to help his mother support his father. He really admired his father. He didn't even notice that his father was feeling unwell today.
Zhou Laoer quickly grabbed his eldest brother and lowered his voice, "If you come forward at this time, do you believe that Dad will remember you in his heart?"
Boss Zhou retracted his outstretched hand and said, "Thank you, brother."
Zhou Laoer didn't say anything. He didn't do it to help his eldest brother, but he didn't want to be held accountable by his father. He suddenly discovered that his father now liked to punish them all together and never punished his eldest brother alone. This discovery made him sad. He glared at his eldest brother. His eldest brother was so useless. Why did his father give up on him? If his eldest brother held on, his father would not punish him indiscriminately.
Boss Zhou: “… … ..”
Don’t think he didn’t see the disgust. He is not blind. The younger brother is indeed the most annoying thing.
Chang Lian was eager to learn more, and felt that he had learned something from his father today. He was excited and thought that his father was indeed the best.
Zhulan helped Zhou Shuren back to the main courtyard. When they reached the door, Zhou Shuren no longer needed Zhulan's support. Zhang Datie and his family were sitting in the main hall, waiting for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren!
