Quick Travel: From Beginner to Master

Chapter 195 The Zhang Family’s Counterattack 3

When the three children ran from outside the house and stood in front of Ling Liang, the gap was immediately obvious.

Zhang Daya is 11 years old, and the first impression she gives people is that she is thin.

She was skinny, with no flesh on her face, and her body was so frighteningly thin that it seemed like a random gust of wind could blow her away.

Zhang Erya is ten years old, and she is also very thin, but today's age is not as rich as in later generations, and material resources are not particularly rich. You can't see many fat people walking on the road, so her weight is still within the acceptable and normal range.

As for eight-year-old Zhang Jinbao, he is different from the two sisters above.

The little body is very stocky, and the eyes are rolling around, twisting and turning out of shape, as if he has ADHD.

He is also courageous.

Daya timidly called him "Grandpa" and huddled aside silently. Erya followed closely and called someone, but also stood there without saying a word, only looking at him curiously.

Only Jinbao had the most unique reaction.

He took a step forward, sighed properly, and said with a serious look on his face: "Grandpa, are you awake? You won't fall asleep suddenly again in the future, right?"

Ling Liang was a little confused when he saw his bitter and resentful look, "What's wrong? I think you have something to say?"

"Grandpa, you have been sleeping for almost nine years. Please don't go back to sleep. I don't want to keep fetching you water to clean your body!"

Jinbao let out an "ouch" and howled with grievance.

Since he was five years old, his mother has been forcing him to do things that were not convenient for her to do herself.

He was not willing to come at that time, but his mother said that if he was willing to do these things, their family would be able to save money every month to ask Uncle Liu next door for help, and this money could buy him many things.

Jin Bao thought so and nodded his head in agreement.

But how could he have thought that grandpa would sleep for so long? He has been trying hard for three years. Thank God, grandpa finally woke up!

After listening to Jin Bao's complaint, Ling Liang's head turned black. This guy really doesn't want to open any pot.

But he didn't forget to say thank you, "Okay, thank you for taking care of me. I'll mark your contribution."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Don't worry, grandpa's illness has recovered, and he will definitely not be in a coma in the future."

The last words he said were to Luo Zhaodi, who was sitting at a small table with a very uneasy expression.

After hearing her father-in-law's assurance, Luo Zhaodi's heart, which had been dizzy for half a day, finally calmed down.

She smiled and waved to Jinbao, took her little son who rushed over into her arms, and clicked on his forehead angrily, "Why don't you take a bath? Grandpa mentioned this right after he woke up. Can you speak?"

Jin Bao laughed proudly.

Da Ya turned her head to look at this scene, her eyes involuntarily showing envy and desire.

But soon she lowered her head and became the taciturn and unnoticed girl again.

Erya glanced at her mother and brother, curled her lips, and looked away nonchalantly.

Well, after so many years, she had already gotten used to it. Her mother only loved her younger brother and paid no attention to her and her eldest sister.

She had already thought about it. When she grew up, she would leave this home so as not to be enslaved by this little bastard Zhang Jinbao.

The two sisters had different reactions. Ling Liang looked at them calmly for a while, and when he looked away, he also had some concerns in his heart.

The lunch today was quite sumptuous.

Luo Zhaodi thought that her father-in-law's recovery was a great joy and worthy of celebration. She gritted her teeth and went to the town to buy some meat and vegetables that she was usually reluctant to buy. Daya was lighting a fire under the stove and she personally took charge of the cooking. Eight people were brought to the table. A dish.

There was a table full of delicious food, and Jinbao's eyes shone with joy.

He raised his chopsticks and happily picked up the food for himself, until the bowl almost piled up into a mountain, then he stopped and concentrated on eating.

Luo Zhaodi looked at it with a smile on her face, "Slow down, slow down, no one will compete with you."

Indeed, no one competed with him. Luo Zhaodi only wanted to eat vegetarian dishes, Da Ya Er Ya ate less, and Ling Liang had just woken up and had no appetite at all and could not eat anything.

The whole family just watched Jin Bao cook.

Luo Zhaodi scolded her, but she took the initiative and picked a large, attractive chicken drumstick for her son.

Ling Liang glanced at her and said calmly: "Okay, don't be too spoiled and spoil the child. He is not young anymore. He can eat whatever he wants."

The conversation immediately changed, "Da Ya and Er Ya should eat more, especially you, Da Ya, you are too thin."

Da Ya, who was suddenly called, raised her head in shock and waved her hands in panic, "No, no need, Grandpa, I'm full..."

"Are you full with just a little bit of rice in the bowl? I guess that little kid ate more than you." Ling Liang retorted rudely.

He looked around, frowned and said: "The conditions at home were not good before, I know that. But now I am also awake. I will go out in two days to see if there is any work. Not to mention whether I can earn more or less, I am hungry anyway. Not bothering you."

"So from now on, don't save what you shouldn't save, like eating!"

As soon as the last words came out, everyone picked up their bowls.

Jinbao quietly glanced at the main seat, secretly thinking that this family might be about to change, and that the one who was always the same would change from mother to grandfather.

However, he has no sense of crisis at this time because he is very confident in his weight in this family.

Who is Zhang Jinbao?

The only Miaomiao of the Zhang family!Just this branch, no other semicolon!

Whether it is mother or grandfather, they must be good to him, otherwise he will not provide for them until they die, hehe.

Thanks to Ling Liang's inability to read minds, otherwise this boy would definitely add "fried pork with bamboo shoots" to his lunch menu.

The reason why Zhang Jinbao has such twisted thoughts is actually due to Luo Zhaodi's powerful brainwashing ability.

She told Jinbao when he was still very young, you are the only boy in the Zhang family. When you grow up, you will continue the family's bloodline. With such a heavy burden, don't all the good things have to be yours?This has been the case since ancient times, and it is only natural!

Jinbao was initially impatient to listen to her nagging, but later he gradually realized the benefits, and learned by himself to occupy the resources belonging to his two sisters at home.

Most human beings are selfish, and children are no exception.

……

Ling Liang rested at home for two days and then set off to the town to find a living.

It is now the 90s, and the national securities market is just in its infancy. Many of the first batch of investors took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, and have been running wildly on the road to wealth ever since.

There are often shocking reports in the newspapers about someone getting rich overnight. It seems that the situation is very good, as if just buying a stock can eat and drink without worries, and the villa is close to the sea.

However, only those who actually bought it know the truth.

Of course, there is one truth that remains unchanged - after all, only a few people can reap the dividends of the times, and the stock market in any era is actually not easy to mess with.

Ling Liang was originally hesitant to take a dip in this muddy water, but he quickly put this idea aside.

In the long run, opportunism is not advisable, but the real problem is that he has no capital and cannot even afford to buy the most basic stock.

Forget it, let’s keep our feet on the ground and make money.

With this thought in mind, Ling Liang came to the town.

The original owner is already 54. Because he has been lying in bed all year round and his metabolism is slow, he looks like he is only in his early forties.

But at his age, no matter what, he still obviously lacks advantages when it comes to employment.

Almost all places with job advertisements rejected Ling Liang's job application after scanning him from top to bottom.

Ling Liang finally ran to move bricks.

There was a construction site in the town that was building a factory for a foreign boss. The project volume was huge and they were in urgent need of people. Seeing that he was in good health, the foreman recruited him without saying a word.

However, Ling Liang couldn't do this job for long. After more than half a year, when the factory began to take shape, there was no need for people to move bricks.

The daily wage here is 5 yuan. He worked for nine months and took home 2800 yuan.

Naturally, you can't make so much money simply by moving bricks. The main reason is that Ling Liang worked as an architect in a previous world, so he is more knowledgeable in this field.

After getting familiar with the project they were doing, Ling Liang solved several difficult problems for the foreman who recruited him.

The foreman knew how to repay his kindness and wanted to have a good relationship with him, so he introduced him to the contractor.

Ling Liang helped the contractor read many drawings and put forward some pertinent suggestions for improvement. He was thanked and given many large red envelopes.

With a salary of more than 1000 yuan, plus a bonus of nearly 2000 yuan, I finally made up the 2800 yuan.
