"Xu Wu! What are you doing? With so many people watching, please pay attention to the impact, okay!" Just when Chen Xuwu was about to take action, there was a sound of restraint from the side. Zhang Qian turned around and saw that it was Chen Xuwu's wife who came over.
.
"Yan Qing, I haven't seen you for many years." Seeing Chen Xuwu's wife coming in front of him, Zhang Hailong had to say hello with a forced smile, "Back then you were a flower in the supply and marketing cooperative, and now you are still young and beautiful after all these years.
You're so good, Suzhen can't compare with you."
"Haha, Brother Zhang, long time no see. You were joking. Sister-in-law Suzhen is much prettier than me. I didn't even notice it just now. It was Xu Wu who told me that I knew you were here. I'm really sorry for being so inconsiderate...
"Chen Xuwu's wife, named Yanqing, also responded with a polite word, while giving Chen Xuwu a wink to tell him not to do anything.
Chen Xuwu coldly snorted and retracted his hand, and said loudly without any scruples, "I, Chen Xuwu, have been a soldier in my life, been on the battlefield, narrowly escaped death, and returned home. I have lived a bumpy life until now. I have always been upright, and I don't want to be dishonest. I don't want to be dishonest."
It is precisely because of this that I have achieved such a small achievement today. Brat, according to what you just said, if the past things can be ignored casually, then should I still be called Chen Xuwu? I might as well call myself Chen Wuxin!
"
Facing the pressure from his father, Chen Gang did not dare to speak rudely anymore. He could only say aggrievedly to his mother Yan Qing, "Mom, I didn't mean that. Dad misunderstood... I, I just
It’s not worth it for my sister…”
Although his voice was getting softer and softer, Chen Xuwu still heard him, and he couldn't help but said angrily, "What's not worth it? What's not worth it! If it weren't for your Uncle Zhang, would your sister Zitong be alive today? It would have been a long time ago."
He has already starved to death! The grace of saving my life is greater than God’s, but you dare to say it’s not worth it? Then tell me, what is it worth?”
As soon as Chen Xuwu's words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Many people knew that this was a private matter between the Chen family and the Zhang family, but most people did not choose to avoid it. It was natural to take a look at the secrets of the Director of the Construction Bureau.
Many people were willing. But soon, the fat County Magistrate Ji dispersed the crowd. After all, it was a family matter. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be made public, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Soon, except for County Magistrate Ji, the beautiful deputy magistrate, and the two directors, everyone else consciously avoided this place. Because Xu Tiexing had a good relationship with Chen Gang, he shamelessly did not leave.
Naturally, I also want to see what the relationship between Chen Zitong and Zhang Qian is.
"Dad? You, what did you say? What kind of life-saving grace? Why can't you survive now?" Chen Zitong's beautiful eyes widened, completely unable to understand what his father meant by this.
"Xu Wu...it's better not to tell Zi Tong about this yet. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. Let's talk about it later!" Yan Qing is a smart woman. She can't tell that her husband is already excited to tell the truth.
, couldn't help but hurriedly grabbed his arm, shook his head and whispered, "How about we contact the Zhang family first to establish a relationship and see what they think of this matter?"
"What's good to see? This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Is there anything you can't let others know?" Chen Xuwu apparently seemed to have made a decision in his heart. After resolutely replying to his wife, he turned his head to the side.
Zhang Hailong said, "Hailong, don't worry, I, Chen Xuwu, am not an ungrateful person. I guarantee that what happened back then will still be valid, and what I said back then will also be valid!"
When Zhang Hailong heard this, he nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, Xu Wu, just these words to you are enough to prove that I didn't make you my friend in vain!"
"Xuwu, you..." Yanqing obviously didn't expect that her husband would be so stubborn in dealing with this issue, and he couldn't help but feel angry and didn't know what to do. It was obvious that Chen Xuwu and her ideas were very different.
Big discrepancy.
"Dad...Mom...what are you talking about? Why can't I nod my head and understand??" Chen Zitong couldn't help but voiced confusion again at this time, "What happened back then? You should always tell the truth."
tell me?"
After Chen Xuwu glanced at Chen Zitong, he took a deep breath and said, "Zitong, you have grown up. For so many years, there has been something pressing on your father's heart. It's time to talk to you. It's okay, while I'm here
On your birthday, you should also understand your destiny."
"Xu Wu, do you really want to say it? Have you ever thought about Zi Tong's feelings? If you do this, she will be hurt!" Yan Qing said excitedly, "It's better not to tell this matter for the time being. The Zhang family
If you have any requirements, we can discuss them carefully. Why should we..."
"Why? Because of the promise made back then! Chen Zitong is my daughter. She has the power and should know what happened back then! I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore!" Chen Xuwu made up his mind and said to Chen Zitong, "Zitong, then
It happened when you were just born. Although I was working in a supply and marketing cooperative at that time, the living conditions were still very difficult and materials were scarce. Your mother was short of milk for you to drink. It happened that Chen Gang was seriously ill and had to use milk powder to replenish his body.
My monthly living expenses were completely insufficient, and I was seriously short of milk powder coupons. The palms of my hands and the backs of my hands were full of flesh, and I was unwilling to part with any of them. And your Uncle Zhang was the deputy director and supervisor of the warehouse management department of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative at the time.
I had no choice but to beg him for the entire warehouse supplies. After the two of us combined, we had no choice but to steal the milk powder from the warehouse and let you survive first."
Chen Xuwu seemed to be very reluctant to mention this incident. Such a disgraceful past happened to an official, which was obviously a very bad memory. He sighed deeply and said, "It is precisely because of this difference in thoughts.
I hurt my good friend. There was an error in the milk powder inventory in the warehouse. Of course, it couldn't be hidden. It didn't take long for the matter to be exposed, and your Uncle Zhang was investigated. During the investigation, your Uncle Zhang actually took the responsibility and explained the reason for stealing the milk powder.
It was so that Zhang Qian could have milk powder to drink. In this way, I was not affected, but he was dismissed from his post and expelled from a good unit like the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. It can also be said that if this incident had not happened back then, it is very likely that I would be here now.
The position belongs to your Uncle Zhang Hailong! And you are likely to be seriously ill or weak until you die due to malnutrition. Tell me, should you thank your Uncle Zhang properly? Do you owe them for saving your life?
?”
After listening to Chen Xuwu's words, County Magistrate Ji and Deputy County Magistrate Wang next to him showed their original expressions, and Chen Zitong next to him was also moved to tears, and choked with sobs and said to Zhang Hailong, "Uncle Zhang, thank you...I,
I didn’t even know this happened, but you really saved my life, you are my savior.”
"Don't listen to what your dad said is so exaggerated. Even if I don't get fired, I definitely haven't reached your dad's position." Zhang Hailong waved his hands and sighed, "People in that era were miserable, let alone nutritional supplements.
Even having fruits to eat is pretty good, and there was a milk shortage the year you were born. Many children died because they didn’t have milk powder to feed them. If it was stealing other things, maybe I wouldn’t be so harsh.
I'll be fired directly. Maybe, this is fate, even if you don't believe it."
"Hai Long, if it hadn't been for you back then, I don't know if I could have survived, and my Chen family would never be as prosperous as it is today. I will definitely keep this love and righteousness in my heart and never change it for the rest of my life!" Chen Xuwu
Having said this, he turned to Chen Zitong next to him and said, "Zitong, when this happened, I felt guilty and blamed myself. It was me who caused your Uncle Zhang to be deprived of his position and kicked out, but I
At that time, I was very poor and had no ability to repay my kindness, so I had no choice but to come to my door and apologize...Here, here you are...I have arranged a wedding for you..."
"Wow..." As soon as Chen Xuwu's words came out, everyone present was in an uproar. Baby kiss? Any normal person would understand what this means. In other words, Chen Xuwu had already betrothed Chen Zitong when he was still a weakling.
People! In other words, Chen Zitong is a girl who is engaged!
Chen Zitong's beautiful eyes widened, and the expression in her eyes was completely unbelievable. Not to mention her, even the other people next to her found it unbelievable, let alone her as the protagonist.
"Zi Tong, you also need to understand dad... I know this is difficult and unacceptable for you, but dad really had no choice at the time..." Chen Xuwu said guiltily, "Our family owes the Zhang family, it's really
It’s too much. If I don’t repay them some, I, Chen Xuwu, will feel very guilty!”
Tears rolled down silently from her pretty face. Chen Zitong's eyes were red, and she stared at her father Chen Xuwu questioningly. After half a minute, she choked with emotionless words, "In other words... Dad...
You treated me like an object, gave me, sold me, right?"
"Zi Tong! Look at what you said. Your father loves you so much, how could he possibly betray you!" Yan Qing hurriedly walked to Chen Zitong, hugged her distressedly, and comforted her, "Good boy.
, Don’t take such words to heart, your parents will never sell you out no matter what. The Zhang family is indeed kind to us, but we can repay it in other ways, and this engagement will not be effective."
"What are you talking about? Yan Qing, what you say is like throwing water away. Since you have made a promise, you have to fulfill it for many years! Without the Zhang family, there would be no Chen Zitong. It is right for her to become the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.
!What items, what to sell, Chen Zitong, if you really want to think this way, then I can't help it, who made your father not be able to save you back then!" Chen Xuwu seems to be determined to fulfill the promise he made back then, even if he ignores his daughter Chen Zitong
How much I would hate him!
From beginning to end, Zhang Qian didn't say a word. At this time, he looked at Chen Zitong's pitiful appearance, and he actually couldn't bear it. From the beginning, he never wanted Chen Zitong to really become him.
The meaning of fiancée. Although Zhang Qian's family is very difficult and poor, he still has the pride as a man. If he wants Chen Zitong to become his woman, he must pursue it openly and win her heart.
Don't rely on such disgraceful means to force someone!
However, it's not Zhang Qian's turn to speak at this moment. Chen Xuwu has already spoken so seriously. If he refuses at this moment, wouldn't he just slap Chen Xuwu in the face?
