Chapter 361 - 344 Can’t Be a Son-in-Law (Second Update)
"Brother, how should I handle this so that Pengzi will come back to me?" Zhang Dacai had been wandering around these past days, fallen ill once, and been hospitalized once.
Other families have wives and sons to attend to them at their sickbeds, but in his case, he was miserably alone, with not a single person to bring him meals. How could it be that a man who married two wives and fathered two sons lay in a hospital bed without anyone to bring him food?
"Pengzi is your son, and you are his father," his cousin snorted coldly. "Just tell him to come back, tell him you can’t do without him."
"But I’m afraid." Zhang Dacai shrank his neck. "Some time ago, I made trouble at the Su family, and it didn’t end well for me."
The folks at the Su family seemed humble, but in fact, they were not so easy to mess with.
"You fool," his cousin advised him. "I heard that Old Guaizi’s daughter has given birth, seems like to a pair of boy and girl twins, and in these next few days, they’re planning to celebrate their full month. No matter what, you’re Pengzi’s real dad; you should go over during this good occasion, and bring a gift as well. Surely Old Guaizi’s family won’t turn you away."
As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face that comes with an outstretched hand. If Dacai visits now and brings a gift with guests all around, who would embarrass him?
"She gave birth?" Zhang Dacai had seen Guaizi’s daughter before, and she was no simple girl, having some skills and was quite formidable.
"Yes, she gave birth, to boy and girl twins. You know I have a relative in Lihua Village, so I’m well informed. Old Cai, this is an opportunity. If you want to take Pengzi back, you must go." How could such a big, sturdy young man be someone else’s son, Dacai’s thoughts on this baffled him.
"Alright, I’ll give it a try," Zhang Dacai clenched his teeth. "If Pengzi doesn’t come back with me, I’ll just stick to the Su family, mooch off their food, and let them support me in my old age."
