Chapter 414 - 414: Differential Treatment
Yu He could tell what Zhang Ji was thinking at a glance. She raised her hand and patted Zhang Ji’s arm. She scolded softly, “Don’t be so impulsive when making decisions in the future. Don’t be like an insensible young man who does everything according to your own wishes.”
Zhang Ji had nothing to say after being scolded and could only nod repeatedly.
Everyone said that he was two-faced, but that was actually only towards outsiders. When it came to his family, Zhang Ji’s rationality and judgment were actually easily affected by his emotions.
It was just like how he promised Zhang Li this time. If it were anyone else, it would be good enough if they did not get scolded by him, let alone make him agree.
“What are you going to tell Yaoyao? Yaoyao used to reject Zhang Li so much. Telling her this now is completely making things difficult for her. Why don’t we forget about it?” Zhang Ji said.
Yu He glared at him and said softly, “Don’t worry about it. I’m not helping Zhang Li. I just want to help Yaoyao.”
Zhang Ji was even more puzzled. The person who wanted to meet was Zhang Li. Jing Yao probably wanted to stay far away from Zhang Li now. How did it become helping Jing Yao?
Yu He did not explain to Zhang Ji. She only told him not to interfere in this matter.
Dinner was very lively. The entire family was so happy that Zhang Hui could not close his mouth. The others were also happy. It had been a long time since this family had such laughter.
After all, everyone knew about Zhang Li. She would go to jail soon.
During this period of time, everyone in the Zhang Family, old and young, did not have any smiles on their faces. The house was covered in dark clouds.
Things had been much better since yesterday. Knowing that Jing Yao and the others were coming, everyone was preparing in a hurry.
They didn’t have time to think about those annoying things when they were busy.
Today, Jing Yao’s family of three came, and the gloominess finally dissipated.
After dinner, the family sat together and chatted for a while. Then, the men went to drink tea and play chess.
Jing Yao, on the other hand, chatted with her two aunts with Little Dumpling in her arms.
Liang Jing, who ignored everyone exept his mom, actually wanted to play with someone else for the first time since he came back.
This “someone else” was Zhang Ji’s youngest son, Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu often fell sick when he was young. His health was not good, so he was thinner than his peers.
His personality was not like his father, Zhang Ji, but more like his mother, Yu He. He was gentle and quiet.
Zhang Hui said every time, “This kid is as quiet as a young lady. How will he be in the future?”
Although he said that, he was the one who doted on Zhang Chu the most in the entire family.
After Zhang Li ran away from home, Zhang Hui once suspected that it was because he doted on her too much that Zhang Li became like that.
At that time, he was conflicted for a few years. Later on, he slowly figured out that children could never be spoiled.
He doted on the younger generation in the family, just like Zhang Ting and Zhang Nan. He had doted on them since they were young. It was said that they were separated by a generation. He really doted on his grandchildren from the bottom of his heart.
He could not bear to be as strict and harsh as when he disciplined his sons in the past.
However, Zhang Ting and his brother were not spoiled. Even if they had harmless tempers, there had never been any problems in the general direction.
Zhang Chu also liked this little nephew who was 10 years younger than him. He liked to tease him with all kinds of toys.
This was not a brilliant move. If it were anyone else teasing him like this, he would definitely ignore them.
However, for some reason, he actually played with Zhang Chu today.
He was very cooperative. He would laugh whenever Zhang Chu teased him.
Jing Yao was very surprised. She quickly took a photo of this scene and posted it in the group chat specially created for Little Liang Jing, which included all his elders.
The group chat instantly exploded. Everyone said that Little Dumpling had changed. Many people could not wait to test it out.
They were in high spirits now. When Liang Jing returned home in a few days, they realized that Liang Jing was still that Liang Jing. He was an out-and-out cold baby.
The difference in treatment was too obvious.
Seeing that Liang Jing and Zhang Chu were playing well, Yu He said to Jing Yao, “Yaoyao, come out with me for a while. 1 have something to tell you. Let Sister-in-law watch over them.”
Luo Xiu was also a smart person. She didn’t know what the two of them were going to say, but she wasn’t curious. She just waved at the two of them and said, “You guys go ahead. I’ll look after these two pumpkins.”
Jing Yao was naturally at ease with Eldest Auntie. She just didn’t understand what Second Auntie wanted to say to her..
