Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

Zhao Xueyi gritted his teeth.

He hates it most when people say he's beautiful!

He's a real man!

A real man!

Zhao Xueyi is trying to take his pants off again to prove himself!

"Yu Cheng!" Zhao Xiazhi quickly reminded him, "This is my fifth brother."

"what?"

Yu Cheng was stunned.

How can someone so good-looking be a man?

Upon closer inspection, Zhao Xueyi does indeed have an Adam's apple.

I was trying to win people's favor, but now my flattery has backfired.

Yu Cheng reacted quickly. Seeing Zhao Xueyi's bad expression, he apologized immediately, "Fifth Brother, I'm so sorry. You're so young, you look even younger than Xia Zhi... It's all my fault for not seeing clearly. Fifth Brother, please don't hold it against me."

Small eyes?

Are you blind?

Zhao Xueyi gave a forced smile. "Hurry up and come into the hospital. You came all this way, but why did you bring so much stuff? Oh, it's a bag of apples. These apples are big and red, they must be expensive."

"You're so thoughtful. You asked Xia Zhi about my parents' preferences beforehand. My parents love apples the most."

Zhao Xueyi spoke sincerely.

Yu Cheng thought Zhao Xueyi meant it, so he waved his hand and said, "It's my first time visiting, so I didn't know what to buy. I just bought ten pounds of apples from the fruit shop. I'm so glad you like them, Uncle and Auntie."

"I love it! My mom loves it so much!"

Yu Cheng couldn't understand it.

Zhao Xiazhi and Zhao Qiuzhi, however, knew perfectly well what was going on.

Mom isn't picky about food.

I like to eat all kinds of fruit.

But I can't eat apples. If I eat an apple, I will get diarrhea, so we rarely buy apples at home.

Zhao Xiazhi glanced at the apple strapped to the back seat and felt a little uncomfortable.

Those apples didn't look very appealing.

Just like Fifth Brother said, if Yu Cheng had been more thoughtful, he should have asked her about his parents' preferences beforehand, but he didn't ask anything and just bought the things on his own.

Zhao Xiazhi kept comforting herself.

Yu Cheng has never been in a relationship, so he must lack experience to act this way.

Besides, apples aren't cheap, and Yu Cheng didn't know that his mother got diarrhea from eating apples, so it can't all be blamed on him.

Zhao Xiazhi forcefully suppressed her discomfort.

"Just put the bicycle under the canopy."

"good!"

Upon entering the courtyard, Yu Cheng was taken aback.

This was his first time entering the Zhao family's courtyard. The Zhao family's house looked large from the outside, but it was even more impressive once inside.

Facing the courtyard gate is a spacious and bright main hall, with two rooms on each side. To the left of the courtyard wall are two side rooms, and to the right is a kitchen and a shed that has been built.

The Zhao family clearly had a refined taste; their courtyard was clean and bright.

Yu Chengdu dared not imagine how happy he would be to own such a large courtyard in the city.

When tying up a bicycle.

I was dazzled by several bicycles in the bike shed.

Be nice.

There were five bicycles alone, and in addition to the bicycles, there was also a brand new tricycle.

Yu Cheng didn't dare to look any longer. He tied up his bicycle, unloaded the apples, and quickly left the shed.

"Yu Cheng, please make yourself at home."

"Okay, sure."

Zhao Qiuzhi brought over melon seeds and peanuts. Yu Cheng was stunned by Zhao Qiuzhi's beauty. He wondered what the Zhao family ate to grow up so beautiful.

Yu Cheng was incredibly envious.

He originally intended to grow up to look like that.

Zhao Qiuzhi placed the melon seeds and peanuts on the table, not daring to linger her eyes on Yu Cheng, and left in a flash.

I ate a bit too much for breakfast.

Looking at that face makes me feel a little nauseous.

Zhao Xueyi, munching on sunflower seeds, appeared to be chatting casually, but was actually trying to elicit information. "Xia Zhi said you're a local, but your accent doesn't quite sound like it."

Yu Cheng roused himself and said, "After graduating from junior high school, I went to the countryside in Guizhou and stayed there for several years, so I picked up a bit of the local accent."

"Guizhou?"

Zhao Xueyi slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "What a coincidence! My older brother was also assigned to work in the countryside in Guizhou after graduating from high school. Which part of Guizhou did you work in? Maybe my brother knows you."

Yu Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

He did know about the practice of sending people to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution in his hometown.

But it can't be that coincidental, can it?

Yu Cheng downplayed the issue, saying, "Guizhou is a very large province, so the chances of running into him are probably not high. Besides, my older brother is probably several years older than me, and he should have already returned to the city by the time I went to the countryside."

However, it didn't specify which rural area they were sent to.

Although Zhao Xueyi had a low level of education, he was very perceptive and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Zhao Xueyi munched on sunflower seeds. "I heard from Xia Zhi that you're an only child? Xia Zhi said your mother has already retired, so your uncle and aunt should be about the same age as my parents."

"People of their age believe that having many children brings many blessings. Your parents only had you. I really envy you. You're the only child in the family, and you get all the love and care from your parents."

Yu Cheng immediately said, "I envy your family. It's good to have more siblings. When you grow up, you can help each other out, and you can talk to someone about anything that happens in the family. My parents also wanted to have more children, but my mother's health is not good, so she had her tubal ligation after giving birth to me."

Zhao Xueyi felt something was even more wrong.

She immediately sat up straight and spat out the sunflower seed shells in her mouth. "Your dad is so open-minded. You're his only child, and he even lets you take your mother's surname."

"My dad doesn't care about these things."

"Don't your grandparents care? Older people are quite attached to their surnames."

Yu Cheng answered fluently, as if he had rehearsed beforehand, "My grandparents experienced the war, they saw through everything, and they didn't care much about these things."

Zhao Xueyi gave a thumbs up, "This level of ideological awareness is too high."

Yu Cheng looked at Zhao Xiazhi tenderly and said with a smile, "My whole family are sensible people. If Xiazhi marries me, my family will definitely not let her suffer any grievances."

"Did your aunt and uncle know you came to our house today?"

"Of course I know."

Yu Cheng said half-jokingly, "I'm six years older than Xia Zhi, and I'm already twenty-six this year. My parents have repeatedly told me to make a good impression on my uncle and aunt so that I can marry Xia Zhi as soon as possible."

Both of them are talkative people.

As the two got along better and better, by the time Zhang Guiying and Zhao Binghe returned, they were already arm in arm, calling each other brothers.

"Mom and Dad are back."

Zhao Xiazhi went up to her, took the vegetable basket from Zhang Guiying's hand, and saw that the basket contained ribs, pork belly, braised beef, and a large pile of cooked food.

Then look at the bag of apples on the table in the yard.

The discomfort that Zhao Xiazhi had just suppressed resurfaced.

To prepare for Yu Cheng's arrival, her parents asked her two days in advance what Yu Cheng liked to eat and what he couldn't eat, and got up early in the morning to buy groceries. So much meat, it would cost at least twenty or thirty yuan; they hadn't eaten this much at home even during the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Xiazhi knew the answer.

There's no way your parents would approve of Yu Cheng.

They value Yu Cheng so much simply because he is her boyfriend.

But what about Yu Cheng?

She and Yu Cheng worked in the same workshop. Yu Cheng knew a few days in advance that he would be coming to their house for dinner on Sunday, but he didn't ask about the family's preferences for several days in between.

She heard Fifth Brother talking to Yu Cheng just now.

Yu Cheng came to my house today.

His parents knew about it too.

Yu Cheng is young and doesn't understand these social etiquettes, but don't his parents understand them either?

Or is it...?

They don't care about her at all.

Zhao Xiazhi was in a state of utter confusion.

Zhang Guiying breathed a sigh of relief. The brat did have some brains; she could make her have doubts. So the money wasn't wasted!

After exchanging a few polite words with Yu Cheng, Zhang Guiying went into the kitchen.

Zhao Xueyi followed right in. "Mom, something's not right. That Yu Cheng is definitely not right!"
