367: Chapter 367: Taking a Stand 367: Chapter 367: Taking a Stand It was almost ti for dinner, so she felt embarrassed to go to Zhang Xueying’s house for a al and went back to the village office instead.
Chen Yang also carried Xiaoxiao and returned to Xueying’s ho.
By coincidence, at this ti, Xueying had just finished cooking, and all the dishes were served on the table.
“You’re back?
Put down Xiaoxiao and co eat, Chen Yang,”
Xueying said with a smile.
Chen Yang glanced at the table and then nodded, “Okay, let’s all eat together.”
With that, the whole family sat down at the table.
The Zhang family elders were very enthusiastic and kept offering food to Chen Yang.
They also chatted a lot with Chen Yang and gave him many complints.
Chen Yang felt quite embarrassed.
Actually, he didn’t like such occasions where he would be constantly praised, giving him the feeling of being placed on a high pedestal.
In fact, Chen Yang was more of an approachable person.
Especially for those he was close with, he disliked creating a sense of distance and formality.
So Chen Yang said, “Uncle Zhang, you really don’t need to thank .
You are Xueying’s parents, and also Xiaoxiao’s maternal grandparents.
Things concerning Xiaoxiao and Xueying are also my business.
Helping you is from a certain perspective helping my own people.
Being so thankful creates a feeling of distance.”
Chen Yang’s tone was calm, yet his expression was very sincere.
The Zhang family elders felt deeply moved when they heard these words.
Their family had always lacked a pillar of support, and now with Chen Yang’s words, the old couple suddenly felt they had soone to rely on.
Their eyes moistened involuntarily.
“Yang Zi…
Uncle really doesn’t know how to thank you…”
The old master Zhang’s voice was choked with emotion.
Chen Yang knew why the old man was so moved.
“Uncle, you really don’t need to say thanks.
In the future, for anything, just use as you would your own son.
With here, I won’t let others bully Xueying or the elders, and I will do my utmost to ensure that the two of you and Xueying have a happy life!”
After Chen Yang earnestly finished speaking, he turned his gaze toward Xiaoxiao who stood on a stool and was leaning on the table.
“I will also ensure Xiaoxiao receives a good education.
All these things are what I should do, so you really don’t need to keep expressing your gratitude!”
Chen Yang’s tone was firm and heartfelt.
The Zhang family elders, along with Zhang Xueying, were overwheld with emotion.
Afterward, the Zhang elders nodded repeatedly, acknowledging Chen Yang’s words and refrained from voicing their gratitude.
Then, the four of them, just like one family, happily finished their dinner.
After dinner, Chen Yang had to deliver lobsters, so he did not stay long at the Zhang family’s house.
“Xueying, I’m leaving for today.
If you encounter any difficulties or problems in life later on, feel free to talk to .
I will do everything I can to help you.”
Chen Yang said to Zhang Xueying by the door.
Zhang Xueying nodded with a touched face and then cautiously moved closer to Chen Yang.
Seeing Zhang Xueying’s action, Chen Yang opened his arms without hesitation and embraced Zhang Xueying.
“Xueying, I’ve been really busy lately, so I haven’t contacted you, but you and Xiaoxiao have always been on my mind.
Please don’t feel distant from anymore, okay?”
Chen Yang whispered gently.
Since the phone call that morning, Chen Yang had sensed that Zhang Xueying was feeling distant from him.
And in fact, this was true.
Zhang Xueying hadn’t been in touch with Chen Yang for a long ti because she felt estranged.
But from the mont Chen Yang drew her into his arms, she knew that she was still in his heart.
At that point, Zhang Xueying could no longer control herself and started crying on Chen Yang’s shoulder.
“Sorry, Chen Yang…
I thought you were despising , so I acted like that…”
Zhang Xueying sobbed, feeling wronged.
Chen Yang patted Zhang Xueying’s back, “Silly, why would I ever look down on you?
You will always be my woman!”
Chen Yang spoke again, with a firm tone, and Zhang Xueying felt deeply moved.
Clinging tightly to Chen Yang, she lay in his arms…
The two of them continued to embrace each other like this for a long ti.
It was probably after more than ten minutes that they finally let go.
As soon as they parted, Zhang Xueying imdiately wiped the tear marks on her face and revealed a smile.
“Chen Yang, you have things to do at ho, so go ahead and be busy, and if I have any issues, I’ll co to you.”
Zhang Xueying spoke with composed assurance, already considering herself Chen Yang’s woman,
which was why she was so at ease seeking his help.
That was also what Chen Yang wished to see.
“Okay, I’ll go and take care of things then.
Your work arrangents should be finalized in the next few days, and I’ll be the first to place you.”
Chen Yang nodded, then glanced inside the house.
“And Xiaoxiao is not little anymore, she should also start attending kindergarten.
I’ll take this ti to find a good kindergarten for Xiaoxiao.”
“Xiaoxiao does indeed need to start school, and I have been thinking of finding her a kindergarten when the term starts,”
said Zhang Xueying.
“That’s perfect, then.
Leave this matter to , and you just take it easy at ho.
I’ve got everything under control.”
“Mm, thank you, Chen Yang…”
Zhang Xueying habitually expressed her gratitude.
“Didn’t I say?
Don’t be so formal.
Your matters are mine, and finding a school for Xiaoxiao is only right for to do,”
Chen Yang pulled Zhang Xueying into his arms again.
Zhang Xueying was profoundly touched by Chen Yang and lay compliantly in his arms, showing unlimited filial piety.
After a mont of tender warmth, Chen Yang finally left.
If it weren’t for seeing Uncle Niu and his group coming down from the mountain from afar, Chen Yang wouldn’t have wanted to leave…
Chen Yang returned to the dical clinic.
He happened to encounter Uncle Niu and Mr.
Xiao carrying lobsters to the entrance.
After a few familiar exchanges, Uncle Niu and Mr.
Xiao left, having finished their work for the day.
Chen Yang loaded the lobsters into his truck and drove straight into town.
Half an hour later, as usual, the transaction took place at the back door of Night Snack Street.
After completing the deal, Chen Yang was ready to drive off.
But at that mont, the old man suddenly called out to him.
“Boss Chen, please wait a mont, there’s sothing I’d like to talk to you about,”
the old man said cheerfully.
Hearing the voice, Chen Yang turned around.
“What is it, old man?
Anything else you need?”
The old man’s face was beaming with a radiant smile.
“Nothing much, I was just wondering when you’ll be free?
I’d like to invite you over to my place for a al, to properly thank you for the lobster business,”
the old man warmly invited.
Hearing this, Chen Yang was taken aback.
Hadn’t he just been thanked last ti?
Why again?
Chen Yang was puzzled but didn’t dwell on it, decisively refusing.
“Old man, we’re conducting proper business, there’s no need for gratitude, and you’ve already treated to a al last ti, so it’s really not necessary.”
Chen Yang refused without showing any emotion.
Just like with the Zhang family, Chen Yang was sowhat unable to accept such excessive gratitude.
Having a al once was enough; he didn’t want to keep taking advantage of soone’s kindness just because he had done them a favor.
Even though the old man was offering voluntarily, Chen Yang still preferred not to accept it.
