Chapter 287 - 287 283 Hit by a Rock
?Chapter 287: Chapter 283: Hit by a Rock Chapter 287: Chapter 283: Hit by a Rock Jia Shijie, leading his two sons, and Zhang Xiaoli, cradling her daughter who had just turned one month old not long ago, returned to the Zhang family’s grocery store only to discover that it was closed for the day.
The notice pasted on the door read: “The family has a happy occasion, closed for one day.”
Jia Shijie had come to show off, but was met with a closed door, which displeased him. He said with a sneer, “What happy occasion does your family have today? How come they didn’t inform you, their daughter who married out?”
Jia Shijie’s tone was extremely unpleasant and even sarcastic. Zhang Xiaoli used to be unable to bear such words, but things had changed. Her husband had become an Advanced Scholar, and was set to be a government official, a bit of officialdom seemed only natural. She didn’t feel there was anything amiss and smiled, “They probably knew that you, my husband, passed the examination, and went to our home to congratulate us. Look, it even says ‘the family has a happy occasion!'”
Jia Shijie’s expression then improved slightly.
It seemed like the Zhang family had the decency after all!
“In that case, let’s head back!”
The couple, with their children, hurried back, yet they did not encounter anyone.
Thinking that their relatives from her maternal home came and found no one, they then hurried back to the grocery store with the children.
Although everyone lived within the city, the city was quite vast. Initially, Granny Zhang, afraid that Zhang Xiaoli might bring bad luck to her own grandson, had bought a relatively distant courtyard for her.
One was in the east of the city, and the other in the west.
The couple, reluctant to rent a horse-drawn carriage, had walked back and forth three times with their children, nearly exhausting themselves, only to find the grocery store still closed when they returned.
