After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.
Chapter 69: The Plan
"Please give it back to me! I've squandered all my wealth along the way, but this is my father's last writing. I beg you..."
Zhang He burst into tears, then began to cry for her deceased father, "Father, your daughter is unfilial, your daughter is sorry!"
When she mentioned her father, she kowtowed several times.
Xu Zhuzhu and Xu An, the two children, cried out "Mother" and "Grandfather" from the side at just the right time.
The snow has stopped, and the sky is overcast, but the accumulated snow still shines brightly.
Just like in front of the Zhang family's courtyard, although the snow had been swept, Zhang He felt a chill on her knees and forehead after kowtowing several times.
Xu Zhuzhu saw that her mother's upper and lower teeth were chattering, which showed that her mother was really quite cold.
The mother and her two children cried and kept asking Uncle Zhang to return their belongings. When they got emotional, they sobbed, which moved everyone watching.
Among the onlookers, a kind-hearted woman couldn't bear to watch any longer.
They all came forward to persuade her and helped Zhang He up: "...Yesterday someone said that your family members were all killed by wolves, but now you are all fine. Madam Xu, please talk things out. Don't cry yourself sick again. Get up quickly!"
Although no one knew what had happened, seeing Zhang He repeatedly referring to Zhang's younger uncle, they knew it was inextricably linked to Zhang Xiaolin.
After all, Master Zhang only had one son, and everyone knew without a doubt that it could only be Zhang Xiaolin.
At this moment, Xu Zhuzhu, who was following behind Zhang He, covered her face and burst into tears.
Of course, it was fake crying.
She couldn't squeeze out any tears, but fortunately, everyone's attention was on her mother, so they didn't pay too much attention to her, the little girl.
Soon, more and more people gathered outside Zhang Erye's courtyard. Even Zhang Sanye and Zhang Siye, who lived next door, opened their doors to check the situation, but Zhang Erye's door remained tightly closed.
The Xu family members are actually still alive?
Master Zhang and Master Zhang Si exchanged a glance, their faces filled with shock and confusion.
Their eldest nephew, Zhang Xiaolin, is not someone to be trifled with. He's always causing trouble, but now that trouble has come knocking on their door, why is he suddenly shutting up and not saying a word?
A glint flashed in Zhang Siye's eyes as he said to Zhang Sanye, "Third Brother, I think Second Brother is probably being held hostage by this Xu family woman for some reason, which is why he doesn't dare to go out. Second Brother always shares the good things with us brothers, so we can't not help him this time!"
"We must not let this woman ruin my second brother's family's reputation."
He spoke with righteous indignation, appearing as if he were a brother, but despite saying this, Master Zhang did not make any move.
On the contrary, Master Zhang, who was an impatient man, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and immediately felt that it made sense.
His second brother had nothing but praise for him, and now that his second brother needed him, he naturally couldn't be a coward.
Seeing Zhang He's family causing such a disturbance in front of his second brother's house would surely embarrass his second brother.
He stormed off in a fit of anger.
Everyone in the crowd knew Zhang Sanye's temperament and, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire, quickly made way for him.
Master Zhang rushed over to Zhang He and her two children, shouting angrily, "You're lucky you got carried away by a wolf! What kind of place is this? This is my second brother's house. How can we tolerate a scoundrel like you causing trouble here? If you want to cry, go back to your dilapidated house and don't dirty our Zhang family's land."
After saying that, he spat at Zhang He, a glob of phlegm landing on the snow.
Zhang He felt disgusted, but luckily she reacted quickly and took a step back, thus avoiding being spat on in the face.
Aside from Master Zhang Er, whom she had met in town, she had never seen Master Zhang San or Master Zhang Si in person.
But Xu Wenjie had mentioned that the three old men of the Zhang family had all warned her to stay away from them to avoid being tainted by bad luck. Now that she had seen them, she was indeed very unlucky.
However, she is not someone to be trifled with.
With a sob in her voice, Zhang He lowered her eyes and slowly said, "Regardless of whether it's from another place or a local area, we should only talk about reason. He took our things, so naturally he should return them. If that's not the case, Uncle, please have Zhang's younger brother come out and argue with me. If things are cleared up, I'm not one to make a fuss. As for those who are not involved, let's just leave it at that..."
It means, I'm not in front of your house, what's the rush? Mind your own business.
Even if Zhang Sanye wasn't very bright, he could still understand this much. His face immediately darkened, and he roared, "Ignorant woman! This is my second brother's house. My brothers are harmonious, and my second brother's affairs are my affairs. How can it not concern me?"
A smile flashed in Zhang He's eyes. "Since it's Uncle's second brother's house, Uncle, please knock on the door for me. Maybe Uncle's second brother's gate will open faster."
Master Zhang is straightforward and has an exceptionally bad temper; if you twist the words a couple of times, he won't understand.
So much so that after hearing Zhang He's words, he was actually about to go up and knock on the door.
Just then, one of the onlookers, not knowing who it was, couldn't help but burst out laughing, which made Master Zhang realize what was happening.
Why is he so obedient?
"Old man, please help this ignorant woman knock on the door!" Zhang He added, her eyes brimming with tears, her lowered head revealing a hint of smugness.
If he doesn't call out, it means it's none of his business. But if he does call out now, wouldn't he be obeying this woman?
This left Master Zhang speechless. He could feel the gazes of those around him, and his old face flushed red instantly.
Seeing that he couldn't argue with Zhang He, he happened to catch a glimpse of Xu Zhuzhu behind Zhang He, and suddenly he had a place to vent his anger.
Not long ago, Xu Zhuzhu and her father embarrassed him in front of everyone, his old face turning red and green in turns.
For some reason, in front of everyone, without saying a word, he directly and roughly pulled Xu Zhuzhu, who was standing behind Zhang He.
"Get out of here!" he said, throwing Xu Zhuzhu hard onto the snow.
"younger sister!"
Xu An, who was standing behind Zhang He with Xu Zhuzhu, was the first to react and stepped forward to grab Zhang Sanye, but was shaken off by him.
The snowy road was slippery, and Xu An stumbled back several steps. If it weren't for a sharp-eyed person nearby helping him catch her, he probably would have fallen.
Xu Zhuzhu was frowning when a sharp pain in her arm made her realize what was happening in an instant. Before she could struggle, she was lifted high and slammed heavily into the snowdrift.
The sudden chill stunned her for a moment. After a thousand thoughts raced through her mind, she made up her mind and decided to go with the flow.
All the people saw was Xu Zhuzhu sitting blankly in the snow, struggling weakly to get up. She tried several times but couldn't get up. She stared at Zhang He with her big, watery eyes, and her eyes reddened.
"Mother."
She pouted, looking at Zhang He with a bewildered and helpless expression.
Zhang He and Xu An rushed forward to help her up. Zhang He even cried as she hugged Xu Zhuzhu in her arms, feeling extremely distressed.
"Old man, how heartless! Let's talk this out properly. It's one thing to scold me, but how can you take it out on the child!"
Her mother was furious.
Seeing this, the onlookers all sided with Zhang He and whispered criticisms of Zhang Sanye, "That's right, how could he take his anger out on the child? Look how scared the child is, he can't even cry out loud, poor thing."
"He's getting more and more confused as he gets older; he wasn't like this when he was young."
"You can tell! My husband says he used to take him out to play a lot when they were younger, what happened to him now..."
Several young women, seemingly not afraid of the Zhang family, chirped quietly, but did not name anyone.
Watching Zhang Sanye's actions, Zhang Siye sighed and almost fainted.
However, he didn't stop her; instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
My third brother has always been like this; he's never changed.
Of course, even when faced with criticism from others, Master Zhang did not think he was wrong; on the contrary, he felt that he had lost face.
Seeing the mother and her two children squatting on the ground, he was filled with rage and his eyes were full of malice. He raised his wrist high and swung it at Zhang He.
"Snapped!"
Everyone stood there in astonishment.
