After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 292 Birthday

Zhang Daye took the opportunity to say, "Dad, I think what mom said is right. You don't know how rich Jiang Xiaohe is now! Don't just see that she opened restaurants in our town and the next town. She even opened two in the city."

"Seriously!" Sun Yanhong's eyes widened.

Zhang Daye closed his eyes and nodded, then sighed and sat down in front of Zhang Shunchang: "Dad, you are an upright person, but think about it, Jiang Xiaohe, a woman, is so powerful, do you think if she continues to be so successful, will she want to replace you as the village chief in the future?"

Zhang Shunchang glanced at him and said disdainfully: "He is a woman, how could he want to be the village chief?"

"If she can't be the emperor, then can't Zhang Daniu be the emperor? Don't forget that she has a son!"

Sun Yanhong immediately became anxious. She used to have many things to be proud of in the village. Not only was she the village chief's wife, but her two sons also worked in the city and received high salaries.

But after Jiang Xiaohe became rich, the only thing she was proud of in the village was her title as the village chief's wife, and this title could not be taken away from her.

"Boss, Daye is right. You said before that you would pass the position of village chief to Daye and his family, and then to our grandson. But if our family continues to be compared to others like this, I'm afraid you won't be the village chief for long."

Zhang Daye nodded, and nodded to Sun Yanhong: "Mother is still the one who understands the truth."

Zhang Shunchang's cigarette was no longer fragrant: "But what can I do? There is something in her head. She is destined to be successful. Can I stop her?"

"Of course."

The old couple looked at him.

Zhang Daye said: "The reason why Jiang Xiaohe is so prosperous is because of the food recipe she has. If we can get the food recipe, how can they survive?"

Having said that, he quickly told the whole purpose of his return.

"Dad, Mom, I'm telling you the truth. My boss said that if I can't get the recipe back this month, he's going to kill our whole family!"

Upon hearing his last words, Sun Yanhong's eyes immediately turned red with anxiety, and she hit him several times: "You should just go out and make money, why did you cause such a big disaster for your family!"

Zhang Daye's eyes were red, and he was anxious. He shouted, "You think I want to do that? I just felt that Jiang Xiaohe was familiar to me. I thought I could get some credit and some reward. Who knew she was so cunning that she didn't write the prescription correctly and ran away. Now this matter has fallen on me."

Sun Yanhong was so angry that she looked at Zhang Shunchang and said, "Boss, what do you say we should do?"

Zhang Shunchang didn't say anything, but just picked up his pipe and started smoking.

Both mother and son looked at him.

After a long while, he looked at Zhang Daye and said, "After all, it was you who wanted to covet that little bit of reward money and brought disaster to our family."

Zhang Daye listened to his father's tone and asked in a low voice: "Dad, you don't want to take care of me, do you?"

"Master, this matter is not just Daye's business now. Didn't you listen to what he said? If he can't get the prescription, our whole family will suffer."

"I heard it!" Zhang Shunchang said unhappily.

"But what can I do? Can I ask Jiang Xiaohe to hand over the recipe? That's what they use to make money. Do you think they will give it to me?"

After Zhang Shunchang finished speaking, he was so angry that he pointed his pipe at Zhang Daye and was speechless.

Zhang Daye pursed his lips and said, "Dad, I actually have a solution."

Seeing that Zhang Shunchang didn't say anything, he said, "Your birthday is coming this month, right? We can invite everyone in the village to have a meal. You treat them, and the villagers will come to give you face. Then I will find a chance to go to their homes and steal the recipe."

Sun Yanhong was immediately displeased: "What kind of stupid idea is this? Do you know how much it would cost for our family to treat the villagers to a meal?"

"Mom, we can just make whatever we want when the time comes. How much will it cost? And I don't know, if I take this prescription back, our boss said he will give me this amount." After saying that, he raised two fingers.

"Give us two taels?" Sun Yanhong's eyes lit up.

"Guess again."

"Could it be twenty taels?"

Zhang Daye rolled his eyes: "Two hundred taels!"

What! Sun Yanhong pinched her philtrum, fearing that she would faint.

Then he looked at Zhang Shunchang and said, "Dad, my boss said that if I bring the recipe back, he will let me be the shopkeeper and give us another 200 taels of silver."

Zhang Shunchang's heart was beating very fast.

Sun Yanhong rushed over, squatted down and held his hand: "Boss, why are you still hesitating? If we had two hundred taels of silver, we could buy two houses in town!"

Zhang Shunchang hesitated for a long time and said, "Okay, let's do it!"

After he said this, the mother and son looked at each other and saw a gleam in each other's eyes.

In less than a day, the news that the village chief was going to celebrate his birthday this year spread throughout the village.

Everyone was wondering why Sun Yanhong, who usually doesn't spend a penny, was so generous this year.

But everyone was happy because it was spring and the ground was full of wild vegetables. We could just pick a handful and have a meal.

At the dinner table, Wang Qiuxia said, "This village chief hasn't treated everyone to a meal for eight hundred times. It's not even his tenth birthday, but he's still clamoring for a birthday party."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "My eldest son is back. I guess he wants to have some fun."

When talking about his eldest son, Wang Qiuxia was also surprised. While eating, she said, "His two sons are reluctant to come back during the Chinese New Year. Usually, when they come back, they just take some food and leave. This year, I saw that his eldest son has stayed at home for several days. Could it be that what Xiaohe said was right, and he just wanted to celebrate his father's birthday and make it lively?"

Jiang Xiaohe and Qin Mei looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Okay, mom, don't think about it. They're treating us anyway. At worst, we can just give them a red envelope and go have a meal."

Zhang Fu nodded in agreement.

Wang Qiuxia curled her lips. Sun Yanhong was the most stingy person. She didn't know what delicious food she could cook. If she could choose, she wouldn't want to go.

On Zhang Shunchang's birthday, many people in the village took the initiative to help. However, when they saw that Sun Yanhong only prepared two kilograms of meat but had to cook ten tables of meals, they were immediately unhappy. However, they couldn't lose face for the village chief, so they could only help with a fake smile.

Zeng Hua and Wang Qiuxia didn't go to help as they were busy moving things.

At lunch time, the two families rushed to the village chief's house. When they left, Jiang Xiaohe and Qin Mei looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then took Zhang Chuan and Xu Xiaohua out.
