Taoyuan Village Little Magician

Chapter 525 The poor old man
suddenly.

Liu Qiang panicked all of a sudden.

Zhang Fan was no longer the boy who needed his help to sell the elixir.

A Huairentang factory expansion opening ceremony can attract the county magistrate, secretary, and various bureau chiefs to join in.

If Zhang Fan really made up his mind to hand over the right to sell the elixir to Wang Cai'e.

He, Liu Qiang, didn't dare to make any crooked thoughts to snatch it back.

"Then, let's not leave, let's not leave..."

Liu Qiang was scared.

The money earned from a sales right of elixir is more than that of restaurants and bathing centers combined.

Where can he give up?
"Liu Qiang! This marriage is not something you can leave whenever you want, or leave if you don't want to."

"You must give me an answer."

Wang Cai'e was furious.

She can give Liu Qiang the new life he wants.

But Wang Cai'e will not give up what should belong to her.

"Sister Cai'e!"

Zhang Fan stopped Wang Cai'e, and said with a smile, "Since Brother Qiang won't leave, let him think about it."

"Maybe, maybe he will completely change his mind?"

Zhang Fan believed it.

Unless Liu Qiang is willing to give up the right to sell elixirs in Qingshan Town.

Otherwise, the marriage will be inseparable.

"Okay then, my sister listens to you."

Zhang Fan's words are very convincing to both Liu Qiang and Wang Cai'e.

Really want to talk.

Divorcing Liu Qiang was not the ending Wang Cai'e wanted.

That being the case, then we can only take one step at a time.

"Sister Cai'e, brother Qiang, you should discuss it carefully."

"I'll go back first."

Zhang Fan stood up, not planning to stay for long.

"Alright, we'll see you off!"

Liu Qiang and Wang Cai'e hurriedly followed and took Zhang Fan to the gate of the villa.

Seeing Zhang Fan getting in the car and walking away, he turned back to the villa.

……

Winter nights are long.

It is dark early and light is late.

When Zhang Fan returned to Baishi Village.

It was already dark.

Go outside the villa.

Zhang Fan could already smell the tangy aroma of food.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"The food has been hot twice, go wash your hands and eat."

Just as Zhang Fan entered the room, he happened to meet Su Rong who was serving dishes.

Before he had time to speak, Su Rong arranged it clearly.

"Ok!"

Zhang Fan responded with a smile, and hurriedly followed suit.

No matter how late it is, someone will cook and wait for you when you get home.

Don't say it.

Zhang Fan found that he quite liked this feeling.

soon.

When the food was served, everyone sat together.

After being hungry all afternoon, neither Zhang Fan nor Yao Linna was polite.

Everyone ate happily.

"Xiaofan, is Chunhua okay?"

Halfway through eating, Su Rong suddenly spoke.

"It's okay, it's just that the little one in the class..."

Zhang Fan waved his hand casually, ready to briefly explain the matter to Su Rong.

But right now.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the villa.

"I'll go open the door first."

Zhang Fan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and hurried to open the door.

"Uncle Zheng? You are..."

Opening the door of the villa, Zhang Fan was stunned.

Isn't this the father of Zheng Yulong and Zheng Yuhu?

Come so late, what do you want him to do?
Su Rong and Wan Qian who came out with Zhang Fan were also very surprised.

"Xiaofan, can you do me a favor and give me some steamed buns?"

Uncle Zheng is thin and thin, with pain and embarrassment on his face.

He looked at Zhang Fan and the others pitifully, and said with a trembling voice, "My wife and I haven't eaten for three days. It's true... we're so hungry..."

"what?"

"Uncle Zheng, how could you... Where are the two brothers Yulong and Yuhu?"

"Don't you care about your two elders?"

Zhang Fan and the others were extremely surprised.

Zheng Yulong works as the security captain at the hot spring villa, and Zheng Yuhu is in charge of logistics at Huairentang.

The treatment they received was good, and the salary was naturally not low.

Zhang Fan has never been in arrears with their wages.

How can you let your parents go hungry for three days without food?

"Ugh!"

Uncle Zheng sighed heavily.

"Come in and eat your meal first."

Zhang Fan pulled Uncle Zheng and led him into the house.

"No, I won't go in... I'm dirty, so I won't go in."

"Xiaofan, just give me some steamed buns."

Uncle Zheng looked at his clothes and shook his head again and again.

Inside the villa, although it cannot be said to be magnificent, it is absolutely clean and tidy.

He was so filthy and dirty that he would be out of place in it.

"Uncle Zheng, what are you talking about?"

"I received a lot of favors from you when I was young, can you let me repay you?"

"Come in for dinner first, just to let me figure out what's going on with Zheng Yulong and Zheng Yuhu."

Zhang Fan no longer gave Uncle Zheng a chance to refuse.

Pull him directly into the house.

"Thank you."

Uncle Zheng bowed deeply.

Then with trembling steps, he walked to the table and sat down.

Su Rong quickly went to serve a bowl of rice to Uncle Zheng.

Zhang Fan kept adding food to Uncle Zheng.

A large table of people was almost watching Uncle Zheng eating alone.

There was a look of pity in his eyes.

It's winter now.

Uncle Zheng was still wearing an unlined garment, so it was fine to let it be dirty, and there were still a few holes.

As soon as the wind blows, the whole body feels cool.

It looked really miserable.

"Uncle Zheng, tell me something."

"what happened?"

I saw that Uncle Zheng was almost finished eating.

Only then did Zhang Fan seriously ask.

"Ugh!"

After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Uncle Zheng couldn't help but sighed heavily again.

Two lines of old tears flowed from the cloudy eyes.

"Yulong and Yuhu are not filial."

"My wife and I are old, we can't do the work in the fields, and our son doesn't give us food and clothing, and we don't care."

"This day..."

Uncle Zheng's voice was a little choked up.

He and his wife had raised two sons for most of their lives, but in the end, they didn't even care about their lives.

I feel chills thinking about it.

"How could brothers Zheng Yulong and Zheng Yuhu treat you two elders like this?"

"How much food can you two old people eat? You don't care about it like this."

"I really didn't expect that Yulong treats people fairly peacefully in the villa, but at home, he is so inferior to a beast."

Su Rong, Wan Qian, and Han Jing all criticized.

One by one was filled with righteous indignation.

I really feel unfair for Uncle Zheng.

Even Zhang Fan couldn't help clenching his fists.

Extremely angry.

"Two heartless things, they don't even care about their parents who gave birth to them. What else can't they do?"

"Sister-in-law, auntie, tell them to leave tomorrow."

"I, Huairentang and Hot Spring Villa, don't want such an unfilial son."

Zhang Fan snorted coldly.

The monthly wages he gave Zheng Yulong and his brothers amounted to more than 1 in total.

Baishi Village is not a county or a city, so the standard of living is not high.

Even if it is to give Uncle Zheng two hundred living expenses every month.

Zhang Fan could still remember their filial piety.

But the fact is, they are not even willing to give a penny.

"Don't! Don't! Xiaofan, you must not fire them."

Uncle Zheng trembled when he heard that Zhang Fan wanted to fire the two of them.

Hastily bowed his waist and pleaded for his son.

"Uncle Zheng, what are you doing?"

Zhang Fan quickly helped Uncle Zheng to sit down.

"Xiaofan, it is a blessing for the villagers that you established Huairen Hall and Hot Spring Villa in the village."

"Young people from ten miles and eight villages all come to work here."

"If you fire the two brothers and spread the word, they will lose face and even have no source of income."

Uncle Zheng said helplessly.

He is old.

Naturally, I hope to have something to support and rely on when I grow old.

His two sons are not filial.

if you can.

He also hopes to teach them some lessons.

Can make both of them lose their jobs.

That is absolutely impossible.

"it is good!"

Zhang Fan also knew that his decision just now was a little too impulsive.

Putting aside the issue of Zheng Yulong's disobedience.

At work, Zhang Fan couldn't fault them.

"Uncle Zheng, you two elders are already in such a difficult situation, and you are still thinking about them."

"It's really a blessing for the two brothers to have parents like you."

Su Rong and Wan Qian felt distressed, but also very moved.

Parents work hard all their lives, isn't it just for their children?

Even though Zheng Yulong and Zheng Yuhu are so unfilial, Uncle Zheng still protects them.

Parental love is really great.

"Don't worry, I won't fire them."

Zhang Fan smiled and assured Uncle Zheng.

"Thank you, Xiaofan."

"Can I still ask for some steamed buns? My wife hasn't eaten yet."

Uncle Zheng was very grateful.

He had eaten and regained some energy.

But still looked at Zhang Fan with some embarrassment.

"Sister-in-law, auntie, please warm up these dishes and bring them to Aunt Zheng."

Zhang Fan hurriedly arranged.

He just ignored it.

Uncle Zheng was hungry for three days without eating.

How could Mrs. Zheng have food?
"Quiet, go home and get some thick clothes from Master Tang Wu and Mrs. Lin."

"Come to Uncle Zheng's house later."

According to Zhang Fan's order.

Su Rong and Han Jing hurried to work.

"Xiaofan, it really doesn't need to be so troublesome, as an old couple, steamed buns are enough."

Uncle Zheng felt warm in his heart.

He really just wanted a few steamed buns.

Zhang Fan felt a little sorry for bothering him so much.

"Everyone is from the same village, so there is no trouble."

Zhang Fan smiled, signaling Uncle Zheng to be at ease.

a few minutes.

Four or five dishes will be ready, including meat and vegetables, and a bowl of pork rib soup.

"Uncle Zheng, let us take you back."

Zhang Fan glanced at the hot dishes brought out, and said aloud.

How about six or seven bowls, how can Uncle Zheng get it all by himself?
Besides, it was so late, Zhang Fan was worried that Uncle Zheng would go back alone.

What if something happens along the way?
"Thank you, thank you."

Uncle Zheng kept bending over and thanking him.

"You're welcome, let's go."

Zhang Fan handed the flashlight to Wan Qian, while he supported Uncle Zheng himself.

The four left the villa together.

Uncle Zheng's house is still an old house, so it is on the other side of the village.

But it's not too far, you can walk there in 10 minutes.

It's just that it's pitch black all around, and it's hard to see the road under your feet clearly.
