Chapter 50 Zhang Village

1187 Words
The next day, it was a sunny weekend. Lin Hao was driving a Range Rover purchased by He Shouwu in Country T, with He Jing on the way back to Zhang village. As for He Shouwu and Huang Qi, they served as mannies to look after little Xiyan in the Tomson Riviera. After all, it was a serious issue because Lin Hao and He Jing would be absent for a whole day and nobody played with Xiyan. On the way, Lin Hao was driving while listening to many stories about He Jing's childhood. For example, there was only He Jing's Family whose surname was He at Zhang village, and her family was nonnative. He Jing had a deep impression on this issue. Her parents were so humble in the village and always could not fight back toughly when having disputes with neighbors sometimes. So He Jing studied hard since her childhood, hoping that she could find a good job and bought a house in the city to live with her parents. And there was a little fatty boy at the same age as He Jing in her neighbor. He always bullied He Jing since childhood, and even now He Jing would feel angry when talking about the fatty boy. After about two-hour driving in the mountain, they finally arrived at Zhang village. According to He Jing, they would see Zhang village if they drove straight five kilometers along the mountain road. It was not a hard task for the Range Rover to drive only five kilometers in a good condition. After a while, Lin Hao saw the boundary tablet of Zhang village from a distance. Under the guidance of He Jing, the car drove slowly to the end of the village with many turns after entering the village. Due to He Jing's family as the only family whose surname was He in Zhang village, her family was allotted only a very remote area of the village, which could reflect the serious exclusive customs of the countryside. The car attracted much attention from the villagers. After all, they seldom saw such a luxurious car in such a remote area. Many villagers started to gossip when they saw the Range Rover driving by their doors, and some kids gathered to chase the car. "Wow, who is in the car? Did the person in the car make a fortune outside the village? And now does he come back with much money?" "Awesome, I know the car's logo. It's Land Rover! It's so expensive!" "Look! Is the person in the car the daughter of He Family?" "Which He Family?" "Nonsense, how many families whose surname is He are in Zhang village?" "I think the person is her. Wow, did the daughter of He Family find a rich son-in-law in the city?" "I heard yesterday that the girl found a boyfriend, but I did not believe it. Now it seems that she really has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend must be rich enough judging from such a luxurious car!" "Ho-ho, you are such a shallow countryside woman. Many people in the big cities rent luxurious cars!" "You are right. I think he must spend half of his monthly salary in renting a Land Rover for driving back to show his wealth!" "..." Lin Hao and He Jing of course could not hear those gossips of villagers. The car gradually drove to the area near the end of the village. He Jing shouted with excitement, pointing at a smoky chimney when she saw a courtyard with smoke, "Here we are! That's my home!" Lin Hao smiled and raised a slight speed of the car by further lightly stepping on the gas when keeping the car at the second gear. The car stopped outside the courtyard and then they who were holding the gifts for He Jing's parents got off the car, but then they heard that there seemed to be two women quarreling. "Zhang Meiling, the renovation of your house has made the wall occupy a part of my vegetable plot. Don't you see that?" "Stop quarreling at noon! You suck. I compensate you for those garlic sprouts crushed by the wall!" "It's not about garlic sprouts. The point is that the renovation of your house has made the wall beyond the bound, clear?" "Beyond the bound? What bound?" A woman's sneer came quickly from the neighbor's courtyard next door. "It is Zhang village, our land. It is our mercy to allow you to construct the house in this land. I am using the land of our Zhang village, not yours! Clear?" "Zhang Meiling, you!" "I just tell you, Zhang Wenfang. I always feel aggrieved to be your neighbor for these years!" That brutal voice came again from the courtyard next door, "For these years, only you, such a shameless woman in Zhang village, married a useless man whose surname was He instead of Zhang. Your husband and my husband started working in the factory at the same time but now my husband is the vice factory manager. How about your husband?" "And, your kid is not comparable with mine. My son now is the regional manager in Modu Branch of Fanghua Group. How about your daughter? She is just an intern in a small hospital and may not become a full member!" "I am so hapless to have such a shameful neighbor, and you are even unsatisfied with me? What's wrong if your land is occupied? If you think I'm wrong, you can demolish the wall!" He Jing's mother was standing at the courtyard, pointing at the crazy woman on the other side of the wall angrily, "Fine, I'll tear it down. Do you think I am a coward? Honey, fetch our hoe!" "It's enough. We are neighbors. It makes no sense to have disputes!" A middle-aged man with an aged face in simple clothes came from the house and persuaded his wife. Judging from his eyes, He Jing looked like him. He was absolutely the dad of He Jing. "Enough? Was it my fault? It was she who did something excessive!" Zhang Wenfang became angrier, stamping her feet after hearing her husband's persuasion. Having heard the dispute, He Jing at the door of the courtyard turned to look at Lin Hao with some guilt, "I... I'm sorry. My mom seems to quarrel with the neighbor again. I am sorry for you to see this." "It seems that the fault stars from the neighbor." Lin Hao smiled at He Jing, "It's ok. Let's get in to see the detail. It's not the fault of aunty and uncle, and they should not be bullied." He Jing nodded. Lin Hao entered the courtyard first. After seeing his back, she walked into it too with complicated eyes. At this moment, the voice from the woman called Zhang Meiling came again. "It's ok for me to remove the wall, but the premise is that you should agree to let your daughter marry my son. Zhang Wenfang, you need to know that my son is the regional manager of Fanghua Group. This marriage is good for your family!"
