Chapter 1038 Sharp Tongue

Zhang Lao'er reminded himself of Confucius's words, "To have friends come from afar, is it not a joy?" but when it came to Zhang Laiyu's wife's conduct, Zhang Lao'er found it impossible to feel cheerful. However, he managed to suppress the ire in his heart and brought Zhang Laiyu's family to his own home.

Zhang Laiyu's parents had passed away long ago, and their earthen house, unoccupied for many years, had collapsed in a heavy rain last year.

Zhang Laiyu did have an older sister, but she had married to another village and had also died of illness last year.

Therefore, Zhang Lao'er couldn't just leave Zhang Laiyu's family out on the streets. Even if he didn't consider the bonds of kinship, he was, after all, the head of Xiaobaikou Village, and it would be shameful if others saw them and laughed.
