Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1956 - 1957: Passerby Female Intellectual Youth 99
Looking at the two siblings who clearly didn’t believe it, Yao Ying directly revealed the answer, "It’s Han Lei."
Ah, no way! Zhang Yu couldn’t help but scream out, "How is that possible?"
"Also, he, he..." Zhang Yu initially wanted to say that their family had never had any contact with the other party, and the other party didn’t know their contact information at all, so how could they send them stuff.
Yao Ying laughed, "As long as he knows our family is at the research institute, that’s enough."
"With the three of your names written, how could it be wrong." Yao Ying recalled the package notification she received, and she laughed too.
Ah, it can be done this way! Zhang Yu laughed, indeed, this way the package wouldn’t be sent to the wrong person.
"By the way, he mailed this?" Zhang Jie ate two raisins and had to admit that they really tasted much better than the ones Zhang Wei bought before.
He just didn’t understand why they would receive raisins in the mail, "Our family hasn’t had much interaction with the Han family before."
Even though Zhang Wei later earned a good reputation and everyone knew he was quite capable with strong development skills, to the Han family, he was just a minor figure they might not even notice.
Then the relationship between the two families deteriorated, not to say a deadly feud, but they definitely remembered that our family had not shown them respect.
"Apology, he said that he actually wanted to apologize before he left, but time was tight, plus he worried that if he came to our house to apologize, it would be disadvantageous to our family if others saw him." Yao Ying could understand why Han Lei wouldn’t come to apologize directly.
Oh, he was rushed when he left and worried about causing trouble for our family, getting targeted by the Han family, so he didn’t visit. Seeing Yao Ying’s expression, it was clear she believed him.
Zhang Yu pursed her lips, she didn’t believe Han Lei’s explanation at all, but seeing Yao Ying, she seemed to absolutely believe it, and since the old lady believed it, Zhang Yu didn’t want to say anything that would dampen the mood.
She kept silent, but Zhang Jie pursed his lips, very dissatisfied with Han Lei. Obviously, this guy wasn’t a good person, a phony guy, but their mother insisted he was good, making Zhang Jie very upset.
"Yeah, he said he barely had time to visit our home, I can understand that."
"Worried about getting our family targeted by the Han family, I can understand that too."
"After all, our family offended the old Han family."
"I remember when he set off, it wasn’t around spring plowing, but now it’s almost time for autumn harvest."
"I know Xinjiang Province is far away, and whether it’s mailing letters or packages, it takes a long time on the road, but not so long as from spring plowing to autumn harvest."
"Are you sure this was mailed from Xinjiang Province, not a package that went around the whole country?" Zhang Jie was very unhappy.
Pff, hearing this kid’s cynical remarks, Zhang Yu knew he must be jealous, feeling entirely displeased, and looking at Yao Ying’s expression, well, the old lady didn’t look too happy either.
As a sensible daughter, it’s only right to heed her instructions and be sensible at this time.
Yao Ying unhappily glanced at Zhang Jie, "You don’t know anything, so don’t talk nonsense."
"When he arrived there, he was planning to write to us, but he encountered heavy snow, and the brigade’s sheep didn’t return to the pen on time. He and his stepfather got injured searching for the sheep."
"He lay in bed for months, just recovering when his stepfather also got injured, slightly lighter than him. Thanks to them for finding the sheep, otherwise in heavy snow, they might not have found them, that’s a few thousand sheep." Yao Ying knew there were cattle and sheep in Xinjiang, but never realized there were so many sheep.
Thousands of sheep, it’s a bit surprising, just not enough to make her truly shocked, "So many."
Upon hearing there were thousands of sheep, Zhang Jie’s first thought was, "The mutton must be tasty, Xinjiang lamb skewers."
"So many sheep." Zhang Jie thought of the sheer quantity of sheep and his first thought was, "Eating meat every day, it’ll last for a long time."
Amazing people indeed, at this moment still thinking of how much mutton there is and of eating it for ages, "This should count as a big achievement, right?"
Mutton is delicious, whether braised or stewed, grilled whole or made into skewers, all tastes good. Zhang Jie suddenly entertained a thought, he should have applied to become an intellectual youth back then.
Ah, Zhang Yu saw Zhang Jie’s slightly dazed expression earlier and thought he remembered past events, contemplating how to comfort him.
Turns out, hearing him muttering non-stop about how to deal with all this mutton, she realized this guy was craving meat, and during times of meat scarcity, who wouldn’t want meat freedom—to eat as much meat as they wished, choosing whichever meat part they desired.
"Now hasn’t he achieved merit?" Zhang Yu didn’t know how to assess Han Lei. He was just a pitiable fellow previously, seeking refuge with his biological mother in Xinjiang due to hopelessness, but ended up achieving merit.
"Yes, that’s why he sent us things now, including beef jerky." Yao Ying recalled the heavy package, still looking incredulous.
What, there’s beef jerky too? Zhang Yu was stunned, and so was Zhang Jie. Initially, receiving raisins was already unexpected, but who knew they’d also send beef jerky.
Watching Yao Ying take out the beef jerky, Zhang Yu couldn’t believe it and repeatedly confirmed with Yao Ying, "Mom, our family really doesn’t have any interactions with the Han family, no familial relationship, right?"
Honestly, they were given so much, roughly estimating, there might be at least three to five pounds of beef jerky.
"Definitely not." Yao Ying repeatedly expressed that their family had no regular interactions with the Han family.
Zhang Jie thought for a moment, incredulous, "Is he thanking us?"
"Thanking us? If it wasn’t for us harshly dealing with Han Jun, and my sister publicly humiliating him, he wouldn’t have had no choice but to go to Xinjiang Province."
"Had he not gone to Xinjiang Province, he couldn’t have earned merits there, his future would continue being suppressed by the Han family." Any good job, as long as Han Jun liked it, he’d try to snatch it away, making career efforts highly challenging.
Zhang Yu thought for a while, there was indeed this possibility, "If that’s the case, should I hope Han Lei doesn’t just mail things once but sends every year?"
Raisins can be absent, but for beef jerky, it’s truly something to look forward to, it’s meat after all.
Zhang Jie eagerly nodded beside her, "Really looking forward to it, I suddenly feel being injured was worth it."
"This is the most worthwhile compensation." Meat, Zhang Jie felt excited at the thought, while getting injured was indeed painful, the subsequent compensation was truly rewarding.
