Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Mother and Child Unalike 2 Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Mother and Child Unalike 2 Wang Chenglong, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly let out a sound of recognition when he saw the black birthmark on Zhang Xiaobao’s face.
“You ca to our brigade two years ago, didn’t you? Alongside the high school students who helped out during the busy farming period, you were Tianjun’s forr classmate,” Wang Chenglong said, then clapped his hands, “That’s right, it was you. I even ca up to ask what you were doing here. Tianjun’s classmate said you just wanted to see how our brigade was developing. It’s a pity that the school is out and you couldn’t co to help.”
Zhang Xiaobao nodded towards Wang Chenglong, “I recognize you as well.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Erya’s eyes reddened.
Jiang He held her hand, understanding her feelings; she probably hadn’t expected that after more than ten years, her brother would still think of her, which ant that the love and care she had given her brother in those years had not been in vain.
In the end, not everyone is heartless.
However, Zhang’s mother Zhao Xiaolan reacted differently; she shouted at her son, “Xiaobao, who let you co here? Do you know how thick the snow is on the ground and how difficult the roads are? It took two days to get here, I had to stay halfway at soone else’s house, and I fell several tis along the way. It was not easy to find this place. Did you follow here? Have you fallen anywhere? Where did you rest last night?”
She fussed over her son, asking about his well-being while scrutinizing him from head to toe, worried about missing the slightest detail, all while acting the part of a loving mother.
“If I hadn’t co, would you have coaxed Ersister into marrying that Zheng idiot?” Zhang Xiaobao was unhappy and shook off her hand, “Big sister is older and can do work, soon to leave the house, yet you just pushed Ersister out and married Big Sister off to a bad person whose feet are so rotten they leak pus, living a life that’s neither human nor ghost. Now that Ersister has a good life, here you co to ruin it!”
Erya was startled to hear this, “Bigsister she…”
Ignoring his mother’s intervention, Zhang Xiaobao said to Erya, “Bigsister’s husband is really bad; he loves to drink, and when he gets drunk, he hits Big Sister, leaving her face bruised and swollen every ti. Our parents always told Big Sister to endure it, saying that she has to think of the children. But I’ve grown up and am pretty strong. I found so people to help put Bigsister’s husband in a sack, and we beat him up good, leaving him bedridden for three months, unable to get up. He doesn’t dare to hit Big Sister anymore.” He puffed out his chest, quite proud of himself.
Then, he said earnestly to Jiang He, “My Ersister is a very good person, and so are you, Ersister’s husband. I’ve asked around about you, you have to treat Ersister well. Otherwise, I’ll treat you like I did Bigsister’s husband. I’m really tough!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t give you the chance!” Jiang He answered seriously.
Zhao Xiaolan and Zhang Xiaobao’s characters were like night and day, and naturally, Jiang He’s attitude differed vastly between the two.
Although Erya didn’t say it, Jiang He knew she valued affection deeply; otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken such thorough care of siblings with no blood relation to her. If his brother-in-law was a man of good character, then there’s no harm in keeping in touch more often—who wouldn’t want a family mber whom they can normally interact with? But soone like Zhao Xiaolan, it would be better not to have parents at all.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said to Erya, “Ersister, you and Brother-in-law should live your lives well. I’ll co to see you when I’m capable in the future. Don’t worry about Dad and Mom; I won’t let them co to bother you.”
“Xiaobao, your dad and I only want what’s best for you!” Zhao Xiaolan shrieked, “The family you’re courting just wants a dowry that rattles off ‘three turns and a bang, thirty-six legs,’ and the Zheng family can provide all these without you taking anything back! Why can’t you understand ?”
