Chapter 880 They're really generous.
Yang Guangzong: "Huh? Father, how can you say that? They're coming tomorrow, where am I supposed to find you a wife and son?"
"Oh dear, those guys have always looked down on me. I just blurted it out. What am I going to do now?"
"Yeah, you spoke too quickly. What are we going to do now?"
Old Zhang looked at Fang Qing, who was plucking chicken feathers, and said directly, "Fang Qing, could you do me a favor?"
Fang Qing looked up. "How can I help?"
"Why don't you and Xiao Yang pretend to be husband and wife, and Chenchen can say that she is your child?"
what?
"How can this be possible?"
"No."
Yang Guangzong and Fang Qing both objected.
Old Zhang looked around, then wiped away his tears and cried.
"Oh dear, my biggest wish in this life is to have a son. Now that I'm about to die, won't you take pity on me and grant my wish?"
Two people: "..."
"Fang Qing, I won't let you suffer a loss. At worst, I'll give you ten yuan as a tip to get by tomorrow."
Having said all that, the two had no choice but to agree, no matter how unwilling they were.
"Well... Father, since you've put it that way, I have no objections. It all depends on Fang Qing's opinion."
Ten yuan, just for one day, just to pretend.
Fang Qing thought it was acceptable.
"No problem, so how do we say it?"
"Just tell them that Xiao Yang is an orphan I adopted, you are his wife, and Chenchen is your son. That's all. They're only here for one day, so it'll be fine once they leave."
Yang Guangzong suddenly became an orphan... Yang Guangzong was very unhappy, but then he thought of the 200,000...
Enough, enough. He's already called me father, so what if I'm an orphan?
He became an orphan.
"Alright, let's do as Dad says."
Old Zhang was very generous and gave Fang Qing ten yuan on the spot.
Fang Qing beamed with joy because of the money, and when she got back, she reminded Wang Chenchen not to let anything slip the next day.
Tomorrow, let him play the role of Zhang Chenchen, and she will give him two yuan.
Wang Chenchen readily agreed.
The next day, Old Zhang's older brothers and sisters actually came.
They've all retired and are now just sitting at home doing nothing.
They are all quite old. The eldest brother, Lao Zhang, is more than ten years older and is already over seventy. His health is also not very good.
They hadn't been in touch for many years, and seeing that Old Zhang was still living in his old house filled him with mixed feelings.
To save face, Lao Zhang chose to deceive them with a script he had prepared in advance.
He doesn't care since he won't live much longer anyway.
“This is my son, an orphan I adopted. This is his wife. They have a child who is still in school and was originally scheduled to come back in the afternoon. But so that you can have a look at him, I’ll have my son pick him up for lunch.”
Old Zhang patted Old Zhang on the shoulder and sighed, "Brother, you've become sensible. Adopting an orphan is a good thing. If you had..."
When people talked about those days, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget about the past. Brother, what did the doctor say?"
He asked Yang Guangzong to bring him his medical report.
"I went to two hospitals and the results were the same: there's no cure. Brother, I... I don't have much time left."
As he spoke, he began to sob.
His siblings circulated the medical records and knew he wasn't lying.
The brothers were also saddened.
This was their youngest brother; unexpectedly, he was the first to leave.
"Brother, let's get treatment in the capital. The doctors there are excellent."
“No matter how skilled you are, you can’t cure my illness, so there’s no need to waste money. Eldest brother, second brother, third sister, fourth sister, I’ve come to terms with it now. Who doesn’t die? Everyone has to die sooner or later. I’ve lived to be over fifty, and that’s enough. The fact that you came to see me before I die is already very kind to me. I have no regrets in my life.”
These words deeply moved the elderly couple.
They thought to themselves that if he had been more aware of this when he was younger, they wouldn't have ignored him for so many years.
Oh well, it's good to realize your mistakes now that you're older than you are. You made them when you were young.
Several elderly people sat in the courtyard chatting with Lao Zhang about the past, their childhood, and their parents.
What a sigh.
Watching Fang Qing and Yang Guangzong bustling about, they couldn't help but admire the two of them.
They say Yang Guangzong is a sturdy young man who loves his wife, unlike the old Zhang of the past.
You know, Old Zhang used to do nothing; his wife did everything, inside and out, and he even beat her.
His wife finally managed to earn some money, but before she could even enjoy it, he snatched it away and gambled it away.
He not only deserved what happened to his own family, but he also cheated and took advantage of his older siblings' families in various ways...
Alas! The past is too painful to recall.
The eldest son privately told his younger siblings, "Fortunately, this child is sensible and even knows how to help his wife cook, unlike his father."
Several people nodded.
At noon, Yang Guangzong went to pick Chenchen up. As elders, they were very generous to the child, as it was their first time meeting him, and all four of them stuffed money into his arms.
He didn't count how many there were, but they were all one hundred yuan each. He looked at Fang Qing uneasily.
Fang Qing's eyes lit up, but they were ultimately fake.
She couldn't make that decision herself, so she looked at Old Zhang.
Old Zhang smiled and nodded, and only then did Fang Qing dare to let Wang Chenchen take over.
"Chenchen, quickly thank your great-grandfather, second great-grandfather, and third and fourth great-aunts."
The child was quick to understand and immediately thanked them politely.
Wang Chenchen's act of being well-behaved was genuinely innocent; how could someone her age have ever seen anything like this? They kept hugging Wang Chenchen, showing her affection.
Yang Guangzong was extremely jealous; the sight of that huge wad of hundred-yuan bills made his eyes red with envy.
After lunch, he told Wang Chenchen to go back to school, but halfway there he started asking her for money.
"You little brat, don't forget you're a fake. Where's the money? Hand it over."
Wang Chenchen said, "That was for me, why should I give it to you?"
"Because you're a fake."
"Hmph, you're no different, you're fake too."
“You… I call Old Zhang Dad.”
“I even call him grandpa.”
Yang Guangzong choked, then gritted his teeth and said, "You little brat, are you serious? If you don't hand it over, I'll kill you."
“You dare? If you insist on taking my money, I’ll go back and tell my great-grandfather, my second great-grandfather, and my third and fourth great-aunts.”
He then ran back, saying, "I'll go tell them right now."
If I tell them, will we be exposed?
Yang Guangzong felt a surge of frustration. "Alright, alright, I don't want the money anymore. Hurry up and go to school, or you'll be late."
I thought I'd wait until those old folks were gone before making a decision.
Little did he know that Wang Chenchen had already secretly given the money to Fang Qing.
After Yang Guangzong brought Wang Chenchen back, they started to inquire about Fang Qing and Yang Guangzong's work again.
Both of them said that Mr. Zhang's health is not good now, and their main focus is on taking care of him.
Yang Guangzong does odd jobs, working one day and resting the next without any problems.
Fang Qing is currently taking care of Lao Zhang full-time, and plans to talk about work later.
The elderly people thought the children were very filial after hearing this answer.
