Chapter 186 Wang Xingyao asks his sister-in-law for a gift
Zhang Hulan hurriedly said, "Why are you all outside? Please come in and sit down."
Zhang Hulan scolded Zhang Xinyao, "Xinyao, how can you let the guests stay outside? Didn't your mother teach you how to receive guests?"
Ye Hongyun hurriedly said, "Don't blame Xinyao, it's us who want to stay outside for a while.
The scenery outside was beautiful, and they also wanted to go fishing, so we didn’t go inside.”
Ye Hongyun then introduced them, "This is Xingren's father and mother, and that is Xingren's younger brother."
Zhang Hulan quickly bowed, "Greetings, Lord Marquis, and Madam Marquis!"
Ye Hongling smiled and said, "You are Dahua's aunt, right? We are relatives now, so don't call each other Marquis and Madam. Just call each other sisters."
Then Ye Hongling said to Wang Xingren, "Xingren, why don't you introduce him to us?"
Wang Xingren quickly introduced everyone in the Zhang family, and finally introduced Zhang Dahua, "Mom, this is Dahua."
"Well, he's a good kid!"
Ye Hongling smiled and nodded, then put a bracelet on Zhang Dahua's wrist.
Zhang Dahua blushed, "Thank you, thank you, mother!"
"Okay, okay!" Ye Hongling was very happy and had a very good first impression of Zhang Dahahua.
Zhang Dahua is not very pretty, but she looks very quiet and has a good personality.
Zhang Hulan said, "Why don't we go inside and talk, and let the Marquis and Master Wu fish here."
Li whispered to Zhang Hulan, "Big sister, lunch..."
Zhang Hulan said, "I've finished my lunch, and my sister-in-law will prepare dinner this afternoon."
When the in-laws came, they would definitely go to Zhang Hujun's house for dinner, but now they were at Zhang Hulan's place, so Zhang Hulan had to prepare lunch.
Zhang Xinyue ran over and gestured excitedly, "Mom, Xiaojun caught such a big fish, please grill it for us."
Ye Hongyun said, "Since the children want to play here, let's all play here with them."
Since the guests wanted to play here, Zhang Hulan asked Aunt Tao and others to bring some stools and serve tea.
Then they went to see the fish they had caught.
"Mom, look, is this fish big?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "It's not small. We can make pickled fish for lunch."
"Sour fish?" Zhang Xinyue's eyes lit up. "Mom, what kind of fish is sour fish? Is it as delicious as grilled fish?"
The grilled fish Zhang Xinyue was talking about was not real grilled fish, but fish skewered on wooden sticks and grilled over fire.
Zhang Hulan grilled some for the kids when she had nothing to do.
To truly grill fish, you need a grilling rack and a copper pot.
Zhang Xiaobing said, "Auntie, I still want to eat grilled fish."
"I'll catch some smaller ones later and grill them for you guys."
Wu Deyong looked like a frequent fisherman, and he caught a few fish in a short while.
But they are not big, they are crucian carp and small carp.
Zhang Xinyue and the others did not let the little fish go, and asked Zhang Xiaojun to kill it and roast it for food.
The adults didn't take care of the children and let them play by themselves.
Wang Xingren also played with the children, and Zhang Dahua was helping them apply the seasoning.
Wang Xingyao had come to Zhang Dahua's side at some point, winking and calling out, "Sister-in-law..."
Zhang Dahahua was so shy that her face immediately turned red when she heard the word "sister-in-law".
Seeing Zhang Dahua was shy, Wang Xingyao continued to call, "Sister-in-law..."
Wang Xingyao shouted several times in a row, and Zhang Dahua was really forced into no choice but to respond.
"Ok!"
Wang Xingyao continued to shout, "Sister-in-law..."
Zhang Dahua asked, "Do you have anything?"
Wang Xingyao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, are you going to give me a gift?"
"Ah? A meeting gift?"
Only then did Zhang Dahua realize that this was Wang Xingren's younger brother, and as his sister-in-law, she seemed to want to give him a gift.
Zhang Dahua felt around her body but didn't find anything valuable or special.
On her wrist was the bracelet that Ye Hongling had just given her, and around her waist was the jade pendant that Wang Xingren had given her. These could not be given away.
Seeing Zhang Dahua's embarrassed look, Wang Xingyao said kindly: "Sister-in-law, it's okay to give her money."
"Give me silver?"
Zhang Dahua immediately poured out some change from her purse.
Now she has a monthly salary, so she always carries some money with her.
There wasn't much change, probably only about three or four taels in total.
Wang Xingyao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "That's enough, sister-in-law, you don't have to give too much, this is enough."
Zhang Dahua was a little confused. Just like that, all the change in her purse was taken away by Wang Xingyao.
Wang Xingyao put the silver in his arms. He didn't think one hundred or eighty taels was too much, and he didn't think one or two taels was too little.
He had very little pocket money and usually relied on robbing his brother to make a living.
Wang Xingren noticed Wang Xingyao acting suspiciously around Zhang Dahua and walked over to ask, "What are you doing?"
Wang Xingyao immediately said, "Nothing. I was just saying good things about you to my sister-in-law."
"Are you saying something nice about me?" Wang Xingren looked at me as if he was stupid.
Wang Xingyao nodded heavily. "Yes. I told my sister-in-law that you are very popular in Beijing. Many girls like you..."
Before Wang Xingyao could finish his words, Wang Xingren punched him.
It was obvious that Wang Xingyao was prepared. The moment Wang Xingren raised his hand, he had already run away.
Wang Xingren quickly explained to Zhang Dahua, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He did it on purpose."
Zhang Dahua suppressed her laughter and asked in a low voice, "Did you often bully him when you were a child?"
"No way," Wang Xingren said, "Don't be fooled by his smiling, harmless appearance. He's a very bad guy. He often tricks me."
Zhang Dahua nodded. "I can see that. I've already emptied my wallet."
Wang Xingren glared, "I'll go find him."
Zhang Dahua hurriedly grabbed Wang Xingren and said, "Why are you looking for him? As his sister-in-law, I should give my brother a gift. I only have three or four taels of silver in my purse. I will give him more later."
Wang Xingren quickly stopped him, "Don't do that. If you break this hole, you'll probably be his money bag from now on, and he'll definitely ask you for money often."
Zhang Dahua was a little curious, "Didn't Mom give him any pocket money?"
Wang Xingren sighed, "Oh, forget it. My mother is very strict.
Xingyao and I only get two taels of silver as pocket money every month, not a penny more."
Wang Xingren then chuckled and said, "But before my eldest sister got married, we all asked her for pocket money.
After my sister got married, Xingyao and I went through a lot of hard times."
Zhang Dahua burst out laughing, "Two taels of silver a month for pocket money, and you call that a hard life?
In the past, our family could only save two or three taels of silver at most throughout the year.
When the years are bad, you can’t save a penny and you can’t even have enough to eat.
But our family can't be compared with yours. Your family can be a marquis, so why doesn't mother give you more pocket money?"
