The Chu brothers were sent in under Xu Shiyan's design.
A manly man should do things for others, so it makes no sense that Xu Shiyan should ask his wife to stand up for him.
So Xu Shiyan didn't ask Su Anying to come over to see the Chu family, but came over in person after the new year.
However, the attitude of the Zhang sisters was beyond Xu Shiyan's expectations, and instead made him confused as to what to say.
"Where are the children? I want to see them, okay?"
"The children are not at home and have gone out to play.
It's still a holiday and school hasn't started yet, so I don't care about them and let them go on messing around."
Zhang Lianxiang smiled lightly and rejected Xu Shiyan's request.
When Xu Shiyan heard this, he frowned slightly.
"Sister-in-law, I know that you have some opinions on me and maybe on my master Mr. Chu.
I don’t blame you for this, it’s normal. If it were me, I would do the same thing.
However, I came here sincerely and just wanted to see the children.
Sister-in-law, no matter what, you have to let me take a look at them, and I can explain to Mr. Chu when I go back."
Xu Shiyan heard Mr. Chu mention that it seemed that the eldest granddaughter Chu Junyu and the second granddaughter Chu Junling of the Chu family were not young anymore.
Before coming, Xu Shiyan also made some inquiries with Qin Shaoping.
I know that these children of the Chu family were all in school before, and they seemed to be doing well in their studies.
These children were in the northwest before, but the conditions were not good, and they couldn't keep up when they first came here.
But all children are strong, so they gritted their teeth and studied hard, but in the end they all got good grades.
If calculated normally, Chu Junyu and Chu Junling should take the college entrance examination this year.
If it were like what Qin Shaoping said, even if Chu Junyu was not in school at this time, he should be reading and reviewing at home. How could he go out to play?
This was obviously because he didn't want him to see the children and said this deliberately.
"No, we really have no objection to you." Zhang Lianxiang shook his head.
"What my man did, I can't hide it from the person next to me.
When he asked us to move here, I already guessed that sooner or later he would harm himself and send himself in.
If it's not at your place, it could be somewhere else. I don't blame you for this."
"I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. Then I stopped trying to persuade him and let him go.
If something happens, none of us will complain, really.
We just want to live our own lives peacefully, without needing help from others, and we don’t want to be disturbed.”
Zhang Lianxiang's tone was still calm, and no emotion could be heard.
Xu Shiyan really has no rules this time. He has made it clear that he doesn't want to deal with him. What should he do?
"Sister-in-law, then I won't bother you.
This is my home address, with my work and home phone numbers on it.
From now on, no matter what happens at home, you can call me."
Xu Shiyan left a note with his home address and phone number on it and placed it on the table.
"Well, okay, then I will accept it. If I really encounter trouble in the future, I will come to you."
Zhang Lianxiang didn't say anything else this time and accepted the note.
"You can take these things away. If your family can live well, you don't need these things."
As Zhang Lianxiang spoke, she wanted to return the things Xu Shiyan had brought to Xu Shiyan.
"Sister-in-law, I came all the way here. The truth is, I don't know what the children like, so I just bought them casually.
Regardless of whether the family is lacking or not, this is my little wish, and you have to accept it no matter what."
How can there be any reason to take back something that has been given away? If this were in the Northeast, it would be a slap in the face.
Xu Shiyan patiently talked to Zhang Lianxiang and the others in nice words.
"When the children come back, you can ask them what they mean. If I have time during the summer vacation, I would like to take them to the Northeast to stay and play for a few days.
Mr. Chu is thinking about the children. No matter how big the grievances between Mr. Chu and Chu Yuan Dynasty or Chu Yuanlang are, it has nothing to do with the children.
That's the child's grandfather over there. If you go back and take a look, the old man will feel better."
Although Mr. Chu didn't say it, Xu Shiyan and Xu Haiyuan could both see it.
The old man was thinking about his grandchildren, but he was just stubborn and refused to trouble others.
Mr. Chu didn't mention it, but Xu Shiyan had to do it. There were only a few children, and the food and drink expenses were not much.
The weather in the Northeast is good in summer, so Mr. Chu is happy to pick up the children and play there for a while.
Zhang Lianxiang and Zhang Jinxiang looked at each other and sighed.
"Okay, you said so, we can't make decisions for our children.
Then when the children come back in the evening, I will ask them what they mean." Zhang Lianxiang said.
Xu Shiyan took a look and realized that his family really didn't want to see him, so he shouldn't stay here and ask for trouble.
"Okay, excuse me, sister-in-law. It's getting late, and I have some things to go back to Yangcheng to do, so I won't bother you two here."
Xu Shiyan got up and walked out with Qin Shaoping.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the house and before they even left the yard, they saw someone running back from outside.
"Mom, Mom, my second sister and I have both signed up. The factory told us to go to work the day after tomorrow."
Two girls, eighteen or nineteen years old, rushed into the yard and shouted.
Xin'an Town is the county seat, very close to Shenzhen City. In a few years, this area will become Xin'an Subdistrict.
There are many factories here, especially foreign-funded enterprises in recent years. There are many textile, electronics, plastic processing and other factories.
When Xu Shiyan heard this, his expression immediately changed, he stopped and looked behind him.
Behind them, Zhang Lianxiang and Zhang Jinxiang, who came out to see them off, were no longer as calm as before, and there was panic on their faces.
"You two are Junyu and Junling's nieces, right? Didn't I hear that you two are good at studies? Why don't you stop studying and go to work in a factory?"
Xu Shiyan glanced at the two women behind him and did not get angry. Instead, he turned back and asked the two girls pleasantly.
The two girls are Chu Junling from Chu Yuanchao's family and Chu Junyu from Chu Yuanlang's family. Junyu is twenty years old this year and Junling is nineteen years old.
Junling had to repeat a year because she transferred to another school, so they should take the college entrance examination this year.
The two girls didn't see anyone in the yard just now, and they didn't realize it until they rushed in.
When they heard that Xu Shiyan's accent was not local, they were stunned.
"Mom, what is this?" The two girls turned to look at their mothers and asked.
"Sister-in-law, are these two nieces at home?
Didn’t you say they were on vacation and going out to play? Why did they say they were going to sign up to work in the factory?"
Xu Shiyan's face darkened, and before Zhang Lianxiang and Zhang Jinxiang could answer his daughter, he asked.
Zhang Lianxiang and Zhang Jinxiang both looked embarrassed, "Girls, as long as you have a high school diploma, you can find a good job.
Which university should I get into? No matter how good you are in the exam, won’t you belong to someone else’s family in the future?” Zhang Lianxiang muttered.
"They come here to earn money, which is enough for their younger brother to go to school. What's the point?
Over here, it’s good for a girl to be able to read and recognize a few words, but she has already studied until high school, what else do you want?”
"Sister-in-law, didn't I just say that? If there are difficulties at home, you should tell me.
I can still afford the money for these children’s education.
You, you don’t want the money given to you, but then you tell your daughter, who is about to take the college entrance examination, to stop studying and work in a factory?
What are you thinking?" Xu Shiyan was a little annoyed, what on earth were these two women thinking about?
