Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen thought that her son didn't know about it yet, so she smiled and talked to her son about the past few days.
It started with the story that the young master of the Cheng family wanted to marry someone with a horoscope. After she learned that the girl with a horoscope was Lihua, she was very worried. Then by chance, she cured the young master Cheng, thus winning the favor of Grandma Cheng.
I went to work in Grandma Cheng’s yard.
"Now my mother's monthly salary is only two taels of silver! Your father's job as a long-term laborer has also been changed to a lighter one. He is a small supervisor and is responsible for watching over and arranging how other people work!"
"Your father and I have been long-term workers in the Cheng family for more than ten years. It's rare to find such a relaxed life. Your father is happy, but he can't stop himself. He doesn't have to do it himself, but he also goes to work in the fields. I guess
It’s almost time to get back from work.”
"Mom can't even say a few words in this Changgongyuan now. You will stay here for dinner later. I used some money to ask Aunt Cao from the kitchen to cook two dishes separately. Your father also talks about you every day.
, let’s have a drink with him at noon today.”
Zhang Yang listened to his mother talking about the past few days and felt like he couldn't come back to his senses.
His sister almost planned a wedding for the young master of the Cheng family?
His mother was so powerful that she cured young master Cheng of his strange disease? In order to express her gratitude, grandma Cheng returned the ten-year contract she signed to her parents without using it to use it, and paid her wages in the future?
Also, his mother is actually a good embroiderer, and she caught the eye of Grandma Cheng. Now she specializes in making clothes for Grandma Cheng, and she still gets two taels of silver every month?
His father has also been upgraded from an ordinary long-term worker to a small supervisor?
He had known before that although his parents were silent, they were still very patient and were not useless. It was because they told their father to hide their clumsiness that the two of them escaped from the Zhang family and came to work as long-term workers in the Cheng family.
But I didn’t expect that his parents are so powerful!
Just saying that his mother, an embroiderer, could get the attention of Grandma Cheng, it must be incredible, and her mother could actually cure Young Master Cheng's strange disease.
It’s really awesome!
Zhang Yang didn't know what to say when he heard this. He scraped together for several months and even borrowed his third brother's wife's book to collect eighty taels of silver. He also wanted to meet his parents and take out the silver to make them happy.
.
Never would I have thought that my mother could cancel the ten-year contract by herself, and there was no need for him at all!
Zhang Yang silently touched his heart, where he found the 80 taels of silver notes that he had exchanged and brought with him.
Looking at his smiling mother, he silently closed his mouth.
Not long after, there were footsteps outside. Zhang Donggua opened the door and came in. When she saw her son in the room, she immediately grinned, "Ah Yang is really here! I just walked in and heard Mrs. Liu say it and I still didn't believe it!"
"
Zhang Yang quickly stood up and called dad with a smile.
Zhang Donggua took a few steps forward, looked at his son up and down, and patted his shoulder, "What a boy! Have you grown taller again? You are stronger than your father and I. It seems that you are living a good life outside, and your mother is still
I worry about wiping my tears secretly all day long, fearing that you will be bullied outside."
When Mrs. Chen saw a man exposing her shortcomings in front of her son, she was not polite: "Some people are still talking about me? I don't know who secretly misses my son."
Zhang Donggua:......
Seeing this, Zhang Yang quickly changed the subject with a smile, "Only my son bullies others, how can others bully my son? My son was only nine years old at the time, and it was okay to go to town, but now he is about to turn sixteen! He is a grown-up.
Now, who can bully me?"
Zhang Donggua and his wife listened and looked at their son who had grown so big. They couldn't help but sigh.
The couple came to work in the Cheng family not long after their son was born. After all, the son and daughter were raised by their mother.
Now, more than ten years have passed, and the son has grown up and the daughter has become engaged. As parents, they have really failed in their responsibilities.
The couple felt guilty and wanted to be nice to their son. They took the money and asked the kitchen to cook two delicious dishes. Zhang Donggua asked the steward to take the afternoon off and brought out a jar of good wine.
I took my son with me to have a good drink.
"What a good boy, have you ever drank outside? Come drink with daddy at noon today and ask daddy to see how much you drink!"
At the dinner table, Zhang Yang drank with Zhang Donggua and then talked to Mrs. Chen.
As they talked, they started talking about the separation of the family.
"Separate families?" Zhang Donggua was stunned and could not recover for a while.
After so many years, it's not like he hasn't thought about breaking up.
But he couldn't let go of his mother, and Mr. Zhang was so powerful that he would definitely not agree to separate him.
The only way is to go to the Yamen and get on the board.
It would cost him fifty strokes, and his mother was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive, or that he would lose half his life if he survived, so she kept stopping him.
I am also afraid that Mr. Zhang is cruel and secretly murders Zhang Yang and Lihua.
Therefore, the matter of dividing the family has never been implemented, and it is just a thought.
But now, Mr. Zhang is paralyzed!
He can no longer make the decision.
Mom is the one who talks about everything in the family. If she says we want to separate the family, then there is no problem.
As for Mr. Zhang, he is speechless. Who knows what he thinks? Just ask him to put his thumbprint on the family separation document, and his opinion is not important.
Zhang Donggua had not had time to think about this problem before, but now that his son mentioned it, Zhang Donggua came to his senses and was immediately shocked.
"Have you ever told your grandma about this?"
Although Mr. Zhang can no longer make the decision, the separation of the family is also a major event in the family. At least everyone from several houses must be present and have their thumbprints on the separation document.
Zhang Yang said: "I originally scraped together the money to redeem the ten-year contract signed by my parents. When the time comes for the family separation, you can go back from the Cheng family and live your own lives. But
I don't think my mother has canceled the deed on her own, which is good. The little money left in my son's hand is enough for us to separate our families and settle down properly. We also have a house, and the blue brick courtyard that grandpa left behind.
It's spacious and big, no worse than the Zhang family's yard.
When the time comes to separate our families, we don’t want anything, just clean up and leave the house.
However, the separation of the family is not only about the separation of the family, but also the separation of Nai and Lao Dou. How to support the two old people is a matter that should be raised when the family is divided. We are responsible for supporting Nai. It doesn’t matter who takes care of their third house. Then
As for Mr. Zhang, just give them three rooms and see who will support them and who will get the pension money."
"I also talked to Nai about this in private yesterday. Nai said it's okay to divide the family, but she still has to think carefully about how to divide it. She will try to divide the family before the year."
"I'm telling my parents about the separation of the family one more time today. I also told my grandma yesterday.
I plan to separate our families and households, register our household registration again, and go back to the Li family. From now on, our surname will be Li, not Zhang."
"This matter is also a big deal. It depends on what you think, Dad."
After listening to his son's explanation, Zhang Donggua understood that his mother was planning to separate the family, so he was naturally happy. He wanted nothing, left the house, and only asked that his mother must be supported by him.
This is no problem, okay!
When he heard about the household change, he was shocked, and his son asked him what he thought.
Without thinking, he blurted out: "I have wanted to be named Li decades ago! Who would want to be named Zhang!"
