Inside the hospital ward.

Zhang Yaoyang had just stepped in when he saw Sister Xinghua who had just woken up.

Naturally, he was very grateful for being rescued and almost knelt down to the Zhang brothers and sisters.

"I'm fine now. I can just go back and take care of myself. I can't let you spend any more money."

"I can't pay you back for the time being. I will definitely pay you back when I have more money. I'm really sorry."

Seeing that she was so weak that she could barely speak, but still insisted on being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Yaoyang had no choice but to fulfill her wish and took her back to Zhaojia Village on a tricycle.

What is heartbreaking is that she stayed in the hospital for a day and a night, but no one from her parents' or husband's family came to visit her. It is so cold-hearted of human nature that it is truly sad.

The two siblings did good deeds and did not ask for money. All they got were some rotten sweet potatoes and broken pumpkins as a thank you.

How could Zhang Yaoyang be interested in such a thing? He might as well feed it to the wild boars at home.

It's not that he is too arrogant, but that this family is too stingy. Although they don't have a lot of money, the hospital fee of three or five dollars is not something they can't afford.

I just don't want to give flowers to Sister Xinghua. It's because she gave birth to two girls in a row. Family planning is strictly enforced now and her family no longer has any fertility quota. So, naturally, she is not welcome in her husband's family.

This is someone else's family affair. As an outsider, Zhang Yaoyang should not interfere too much, so as not to attract criticism.

When they returned home, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Yongshou and Zhang Yongqiang had slept all day and just got up now, full of energy.

As for his mother Liu Huifang, she was like a tireless robot. After taking care of the little wild boar, she processed the big bird and stewed it in a small clay pot until it was fragrant, waiting for the family to reunite and have a good meal.

Now that their family is rich, it is a bit exaggerated to eat meat every meal, but no one from the neighboring house comes to make trouble anymore.

After Wu Laoer died, his four sons saw that Zhang Yaoyang and his friends had gained benefits by going into the mountains, so they became bold and followed them into the mountains with several strong young men from the village.

It has been two days now, and I still don’t know whether he is dead or alive.

Chen Ergou has only a grandfather in his seventies at home, who is still in good health. After spending half a day with the old man, he felt bored, so he ran to Zhang's house without stopping to have dinner with them.

During the meal, Liu Huifang even joked that he was about to become the third child in their family.

Chen Ergou was very shameless and he started yelling immediately with a shameless face.

"Aunt, as long as you don't look down on me for being useless, I will be the third child in the future, hehe..."

"Hahaha... I picked up a son like you for free, so why would I dislike you? I'm just afraid that your grandfather won't be willing to let you go."

Liu Huifang liked Chen Ergou very much. She had been playing in their house since she was a child and watched him grow up. She knew him well and thought he was a good person.

Whether in the village or in school, Chen Ergou was always loyal to Zhang Yaoyang.

Otherwise, with Zhang Yaoyang's previous weak and nerdy personality, he might have been bullied.

It can be said that it was because of Chen Ergou's protection that Zhang Yaoyang was able to turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside and focus on reading the books of sages.

Chen Ergou just said that casually. Seeing that Liu Huifang was serious, he said solemnly, "Aunt, I have been without parents since I was a child. To be honest, if I could be your son, I would wake up with a smile in my dreams."

"It's a pity that my grandfather won't allow me... Alas..."

When Chen Ergou said this, his voice was a little choked.

He was actually an orphan adopted by Old Man Chen. Everyone in the village knew that he was not a real member of the Chen family.

At that time, Mr. Chen was already an old man in his fifties. Although he was raised by his parents with great difficulty, the lack of parental love could not be compensated.

Since he was a child, he has liked the Zhang family very much. Their family is different from those families in the village. The family is warm and there are never any quarrels. The family has no bad habits. The three brothers and sisters help each other and live in harmony.

Even though he, an outsider, came to eat for free many times, even though the Zhang family was so poor that they had to eat coarse food, they always needed his set of bowls and chopsticks.

But unfortunately, Mr. Chen was afraid that he would be abducted by the Zhang family. The more he wanted to get closer to the Zhang family, the more he opposed it.

He was often accused of being unfilial, unkind and unjust, which prevented him from freely choosing his life.

Even though he said that he would support him for a hundred years and would never abandon Old Man Chen, he was unable to make this stubborn old man change his mind.

Everyone was originally planning to have a good meal, but now they were in a depressed mood again.

Seeing this, Zhang Yaoyang quickly took out the money he had earned that day and gave half of it to Chen Ergou, trying to distract everyone's attention.

As for the Zhang family, although three people contributed, Zhang Yaoyang was only considered a laborer. After all, this wild boar was obtained by Chen Ergou and him when they went up the mountain.

How could Chen Ergou take advantage of such a thing? He pushed the money away without thinking and asked Zhang Yaoyang to divide it into four parts, giving each person one part. Otherwise, he would not have the nerve to accept the money.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Zhang Yaoyang had no choice but to do as he said. The wild boar and the black stork were sold for a total of 1170 yuan, and each person could get 292.5 yuan.

Zhang Yaoyang was too lazy to count the change and directly gave 300 yuan to Chen Ergou. The extra few yuan was regarded as compensation.

In this way, Chen Ergou had no reason to refuse, and everyone was happy.

Zhang Yaoyang immediately gave all the remaining money to Liu Huifang.

"Mom, save it first. When you have saved up 10,000 yuan, I'll take you to town and we'll deposit the money in the bank. That way, we won't have to worry about thieves stealing it!"

His words suddenly made everyone in the family feel troubled.

"Will the money be lost if it's stored there? What if I can't withdraw it?"

"Besides, we can't read a single word, so we don't know how to do these things!"

Liu Huifang suddenly realized that as a rural woman, she didn't even have the ability to manage money.

If the money was less, she could still manage it, but if it was more, she would feel it was a bit hot.

Zhang Yongshou felt the same as her. The money they earned in their entire lives combined was not as much as what Zhang Yaoyang earned in the past two days.

"If you ask me, it's better to let the second brother keep the money. We are too honest and don't understand these things."

"Dad, I heard someone say that if you manage money well, it can make more money. Let's just leave it at that. I believe that under my younger brother's leadership, our family will be more prosperous."

Zhang Yongqiang was not jealous of his younger brother. After all, his younger brother had a higher education than him, was better at studying, and had a bright future.

Zhang Yaoyang was willing to take on the role of head of the family.

Just when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, a clear sound like a bell suddenly came from the yard.

"Excuse me, is Zhang Anxin at home? I'm Yu Fengjiao."

"Ah~ Why is she here?"

Zhang Yaoyang was so excited that he knocked over his chopsticks. He no longer looked mature and steady. He just stood there nervously like a normal young man.
