After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1171 Who is the Zhong Family
However, for some reason, Zhong Wan only wanted to marry Xia Zhe and she kept the same thought even after so many years. She was just like that silly girl from the He family!

“What’s wrong with being a stepmother! Is there anything wrong with being a stepmother? Father, you’re too biased. Giving birth is such a painful experience! Look what happened to Mom…” Zhong Wan said the wrong thing in her hastiness and quickly ran over to hold Zhong Ye’s hand. “I’m sorry, Dad… I don’t mean that.”

Zhong Ye looked at Zhong Wan with heartache and patted her head fondly as he said, “I know it’s not on purpose. You’re right. The process of giving birth is very dangerous. Furthermore, our Wan’er cares so much about her figure. How can she let her figure get out of shape from having children?”

“Dad, you know me best! The two kids are newborns and this is the best time for me to start taking care of them. I just need to find two nannies to take care of them attentively for now. When they start to retain memories, I’ll take over their care myself. This way, they’ll see me as their biological mother!” Zhong Wan said smugly.

“Our Wan’er is still the smartest! Come, let’s go to the Xia family’s house. If we don’t go now, it’ll get dark soon!” After saying that, Zhong Ye drove to the Xia family house with Zhong Wan.

There were still white lanterns hanging outside the Xia family residence. During this period of time, they had been so busy dealing with Cheng Gu that they did not have time to deal with such trivial matters. It was very likely that the Xia family had already forgotten about this matter.
Many people felt uneasy about the fact that the Xia family just lost a member of their family, so they only sent gifts to express their condolences. No one was willing to pay a personal visit.

However, in Zhong Wan’s heart, the white lanterns represented her hopes and dreams

“Let’s go. Follow behind me later and don’t talk too much,” Zhong Ye said seriously.

Zhong Wan clenched her fists nervously and followed behind Zhong Ye, not daring to make a wrong move. Zhong Ye pressed lightly on the doorbell and it was Luo Yu who came to open the door. He frowned when he saw Zhong Ye. This person was insatiably greedy and it was definitely not a good thing to see him at the Xia family residence at this time.

“Oh, it’s Uncle Zhong. It’s been a long time,” Luo Yu said politely.

“Hmph, I see you’re still the captain of a small guard team in the Xia family. You’re still as useless as ever after so many years,” Zhong Ye said mockingly.

“Yes, that’s true. How can I compare with Uncle Zhong? May I know why you’re here?” Luo Yu asked.

“I’m here to see my old friends. Just let me in,” Zhong Ye said impatiently.

In the past, when Zhong Ye was not doing so well, his family lived in the same alley as Luo Yu’s family. At that time, Zhong Ye already had a habit of looking down on others, especially the neighbors nearby. He felt that living in this small alley was a waste of a talent like him! It was an insult to him.

When Luo Yu was young, he often played with Zhong Ke. When Zhong Ye found out about it, he would scold Zhong Ke and say that Zhong Ke was not a motivated person. As time passed, none of the kids wanted to play with Zhong Ke anymore. It was only when Zhong Ye made it big and moved away that the neighbors lived a more peaceful life.

Luo Yu had always remembered the belittling look in Zhong Ye’s eyes and his arrogant attitude of looking down on others.

“I have to go in and ask the family. Uncle Zhong, wait a moment.” Luo Yu closed the door and went back into the house.

At this moment, Xu Lan and Xia He were sewing blankets for Qiao Mei’s children. The blankets they had at home did not feel soft enough to the touch. Xu Lan specially asked her own younger sister to send some fabric over from her hometown. Qiao Mei was coming back in a couple of days’ time. They must provide the best things for the children!

“Auntie, there are members of the Zhong family at the door,” Luo Yu said.

“The Zhong family? Who’s the Zhong family? Why haven’t I heard of them before?” Xu Lan asked curiously.

Liu Fen, on the other hand, knew of them and said disdainfully, “That’s the person in charge of the transportation team in the army. I heard from Eldest Brother that day that he had stolen two bottles of medicinal wine from our family! During the delivery process, they stole the medicinal wine which Qiao Mei sent to Xia Zhe! How hateful.”

Zhong Ye was in charge of keeping the lists of the items each family sent to their family members in the army. Who would know whether there were any discrepancies between the items in the list and in the package? Moreover, each family could not contact their family member directly. Unless it was a family like the Xia family who had connections in the army, ordinary families would not have the chance to do so.
