Zhang Guinan joked, ”What, are you jealous? To think that you're a man, to think that you would be jealous of a girl.

Zhang Song was at a loss for words. He unwillingly said, ”You forgot about your son just because you had a wife. Don't you think that without a son, you would be able to bring back such an outstanding daughter-in-law?”

When Zhang Song said this, Mu Xinyi became bashful. Her face was red and her head was lowered. It was almost as high as the bowl on the table. Seeing Mu Xin Yi act this way, Zhang Gui Nan stopped teasing her and happily laughed: ”Alright, you don't have to bully Xin Yi anymore. Xin Yi, come, quickly eat the food. If Xiao Song dares to bully you in the future, you can tell your mother that your mother is helping you vent your anger.”

Mu Xinyi raised her head and blinked at Zhang Song's extremely beautiful eyes. She nodded and said, ”Song, he hasn't bullied me yet. If he bullies me in the future, I will definitely tell you.”

After eating his meal, Zhang Song was on the verge of collapse. As soon as he finished his meal, his mother led Mu Xinyi into the room for some reason. Looking at the dishes on the table, Zhang Song felt helpless. He had to do it himself and clean up the dishes. Very soon, Zhang Song finished washing the dishes. Just as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw his mother holding Mu Xinyi's hand as they walked out of the room. Seeing the two of them smiling so sweetly, Zhang Song's heart palpitated. He hadn't been this happy in a long time. It seemed that bringing Mu Xinyi along this time was the right choice. However, this family seemed to be missing a person. At this moment, Zhang Song thought of his sister, who was working in the distance.

”Mom, did sister say when she would be back?”

Hearing Zhang Song's question, Zhang Guinan replied, ”The last time your sister called, she said it would be a while before she comes back.”

”Oh.” Zhang Song said no more and sat beside Mu Xinyi. The three of them watched a boring soap opera.

Night, the sky was already dark, the snow had imprinted everything on the ground, but the moon had yet to appear.

Only then did Zhang Song get up. ”Mom, it's getting late. I have to send Xin Yi back.”

Zhang Guinan sighed softly and said reluctantly, ”Alright.”

When they reached the door, Zhang Guinan reluctantly told Zhang Song, ”Be careful on the road. It's getting cold. Take care of yourself over there. Wear more clothes.”

Zhang Song nodded. He took out all the salary that he had earned over the past two months and passed it to Zhang Guinan, ”Mom, this is my salary for these two months. You can take it first.”

Mu Xinyi respectfully stood to the side without saying anything. She chose to hand this moment over to them.

Zhang Guinan didn't take the money from Zhang Song and instead blamed herself, ”It's all my fault. You have to work outside at such a young age, and it will affect your studies. You need to spend money outside as well. Keep the money for yourself, so you can buy whatever you lack. It's not good to have no money outside. ”

Zhang Song knew that his mother didn't want him to be too frugal. He was very grateful for her love for him. He smiled and said, ”I don't need to spend any money at my current job. I won't be able to use that money, so you should just keep it.”

At this time, Mu Xinyi also opened her mouth and said, ”Auntie, you just keep it. Don't you understand Zhang Song's temper? If you don't accept, how could Zhang Song go to work in peace? The more you do this, the more upset Zhang Song will be. ”

Only then did Zhang Guinan accept the thick stack of bills. He turned to Mu Xinyi and said, ”Little Yi, when you're free, remember to come often. Although this place is a bit shabby and cannot be compared to the large families here, you are always welcome here.”

Mu Xinyi nodded and smiled. ”En, Auntie, I will. As long as you don't mind me, I will come often to eat Auntie's delicious meals.”

Mu Xinyi cleverly eased the atmosphere. Accompanied by Zhang Song, Mu Xinyi and Zhang Song left together. Zhang Guinan looked at the departing back of her son and Mu Xinyi. A line of tears slowly dripped down. A wave of resentment and self-blame filled her heart. She sighed lightly and said to the departing back, ”Child, have a safe journey.”

An Qing City, in the courtyard of a luxurious mansion. There were a few people sitting in the living room.

”Dad, what's going on?” A boy around the age of seventeen or eighteen took out a bank card from his wallet and said. This person was Zhang Jun. The last time he was drinking in a bar, he was preparing to pay with his card, but he didn't bleed and his bank card was frozen, causing him to almost run out of money to pay with it. He hadn't been free before, and today was New Year's Day. His mother had called him and told him to go home and eat dinner. Only after that did he remember and come over to ask for the reason.

The pot-bellied middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa leisurely smoking a cigarette and puffing out smoke. When his son came to question him, he explained with a smile, ”You have the nerve to ask me, what did you say you did at school?”

”What did I do at school? What can I do at school? ” Zhang Jun was a little confused.

”You're still playing dumb? He already came to our house, yet you're still playing dumb. How did I raise a son like you? ”If you don't have the ability to learn, you will learn to be impulsive. You even have to be a hero to save a beauty. Freezing your bank card is the punishment for your impulsiveness.”

Only now did Zhang Jun understand. So his parents had already known about this, and this was good as well, so that he wouldn't have to explain it to them in the future. Zhang Jun knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't say anything else and just quietly sat to the side. At this moment, Zhang Jun's mother also came out of the kitchen and sat down.

Zhang Jun's father's name was Zhang Hai and his mother's name was Lin Xia.

Zhang Hai tilted his head and saw his son sitting beside him with his cheeks puffed up. So he put his face close to hers and said with a smirk, ”Tell Dad, is that girl beautiful? Which girl is it that's worthy of your life as a hero? ”

Lin Xia, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but laugh when she saw her husband like this. She joked, ”What, you're so concerned about your son? I don't usually see you care about your son too much.”

Zhang Hai directly gave Lin Xia a coquettish look, then looked at his son, Zhang Jun, and said, ”Tell dad about it. If you really like that girl, today, Mom and Dad will make the decision for you.”
