"It's the young lady's child. How is the young lady now?" Upon hearing his surname, Guan Zhiliang immediately realized that the only uncle in the family was named Zhang. Since the child's surname was Zhang, it must be the young lady's.
"Let's talk when we go in." Then before he could answer, the old man pulled him in, soaked him in malted milk, and took out biscuits, "Master Sun, come all the way here, are you hungry?
Let’s get something to eat quickly.”
"No, Grandpa Guan, don't bother me. I'm not hungry yet." Zhang Yu said quickly as he watched Guan Zhiliang rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for things, as if he wanted to give him all the good things.
"That's okay, wait until noon. Let's have a good meal at noon." After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Guan Zhiliang also stopped rummaging through the box.
"How is the lady? Due to health reasons, I haven't heard from the lady in the past two years."
"My mother, my mother," Zhang Yu looked at the old housekeeper's expectant expression. He didn't know, he didn't know how to tell this old man who regarded his mother as his daughter the cruel fact that his mother had passed away.
"What happened to your mother?" Guan Zhiliang looked at Zhang Yu's expression and asked anxiously, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"My mother, she died on the battlefield last year." Zhang Yu finally said it. There is no way to keep this kind of thing hidden.
Guan Zhiliang was stunned for an instant, and his whole body collapsed to the ground. Xie Zhiying was breathing heavily, and his mouth kept moving, but he couldn't speak.
"Grandpa Guan, Grandpa Guan, how are you doing? Don't scare me." Zhang Yu wanted to help him up, but the man lying on the ground had no support at all. He tried several times and spent a long time before he finally managed.
He helped the old man to the chair and looked at his face. Zhang Yu wanted to call for help and send the old man to the hospital.
Just as he was about to go out and call someone, a hand grabbed him: "No need to call someone, I'm fine, I'm fine, just take it slow, take it slow and it'll be fine."
His heart ached so much. She was a young lady, such a good girl. He had seen her as a daughter since she was a child, and she was just gone. She was just gone.
He cried for a long time. After a long time, he wiped away his tears, forced out a smile, and said to Zhang Yu: "My child, I scared you."

"Grandpa, are you okay?" Zhang Yu was still a little worried.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can hold on." Although he was sad, Zhang Yu was still there. For fear of scaring the children, the old housekeeper cheered up and responded to him.
After that, both of them were silent, but after thinking about it, the old housekeeper slowly asked: "Where is your father?"
"Me, my father, my father also died along with my mother."
"My uncle is gone. How could it be? They are both so young. Why are they the ones who leave and not me, who is half-body in the coffin?" After Xie's family moved, the young lady and her uncle wanted to be safe.
, I didn’t dare to meet him openly, but my uncle secretly made many friends to take care of him, and people secretly sent him the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home.
"How are you doing now, Master Sun?" I asked the housekeeper, cheering up. Since the young lady has passed away and the uncle has also gone, he must live well, so that he can watch Young Master Sun live a good life on behalf of the young lady and uncle.
Go down.
"Grandpa Guan, just call me Xiaoyu. I'm fine now. I live across from my sister-in-law and they take good care of me. I also went to the Northeast during the Chinese New Year to visit my grandma and grandpa.
Grandpa."
"How are the master and his wife in good health?" Upon hearing this, the old housekeeper suddenly became energetic and asked hurriedly. He had not seen the master and his wife for many years, and could only get some information about them in a roundabout way.
, they settled down in their hometown in the Northeast, and their lives were pretty good.
"Grandma, grandpa and the others are in good health. Grandpa can still chase his second uncle all over the yard with a stick." Zhang Yu did not dare to say that because of his mother's death, the two old people fell ill and almost did not return.
come over.
"That's good, that's good, as long as you're in good health." After hearing this, the old housekeeper's face had a smile again.
He turned around and said: "Did the second young master mess up the things assigned by the family again? He is like this every time, rushing to do things, but every time he fails to do it, and often gets into trouble, and then every time
I was chased all over the yard and beaten by the master." When mentioning Xie Zhiying's incident, the old housekeeper looked sad.
"Well, some time ago my grandpa and others wanted to send me a package, and my second uncle took the initiative to take over the job, but he forgot to put a letter in it every time. I never knew who sent the package. Some time ago,
When I went to the Northeast and chatted accidentally, I realized that the package was mailed by them." Zhang Yu still wants to laugh every time he thinks of what his second uncle did.
"Hahaha, this seems like something the second young master would do. The second young master has been like this since he was a child. He likes to take care of things and rush for those jobs, but something goes wrong every time." The old housekeeper replied with a smile.
"Grandpa Guan, can you tell me about the past?" Zhang Yu was very curious about the past events of the Xie family, but several elders did not tell him. Now it is difficult to find someone who knows the basics. Why can't he?
Just ask.
"Since you want to know, let me tell you. The Xie family are all good people. They are all good people!" Yes, if he were not a good person, how could he pull him out of the mud hole.
Zhang Yu chatted with him for a long time and then learned some of the past events of the Xie family. Although the heads of each generation of the Xie family were very low-key, they only had those shops on the surface, and they were kind-hearted and philanthropic, which was different from those in the business world.
No one has ever broken his face.
But none of these can stop the prying eyes of interested people. They don't know where they heard that the Xie family's ancestors left a batch of gold and silver treasures. Each generation of the Xie family will put three layers of their annual income into their own treasure house.
After knowing this, those people became greedy. They wanted to prove that they could not find the things left by their ancestors, but the Xie family's accumulated income of 30% for so many generations was still a considerable fortune.
Originally, he could handle the Xie family on his own, but that thoughtful person also felt that he could not take down the Xie family by himself, so he turned around and spread the news. He wanted others to take action against the Xie family, and instead fished in troubled waters and caught them.
They asked the Xie family to take a bite, but they did not expect that the head of the Xie family would be so decisive.
As Guan Zhiliang talked, he also thought of his own past. When he was born, the Qing Dynasty Court was still there. His mother had a fall when she was more than seven months old because of the work at home, which caused her mother to have a difficult delivery.
The little sister in his belly left together, leaving only him and his brother.
