Chapter 406: Something Happy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Aren’t they busy preparing for the wedding recently?” Luo Xiu asked in confusion.

Zhang Hui said, “Liang Xun said that Yaoyao has been tired recently. He’s bringing Yaoyao out to play for a few days and relax.”

Zhang Jing and his brother didn’t ask anything else. They were naturally very happy that their niece was coming home.

Zhang Hui suddenly said, “Move back home for the next few days. It’s more lively with more people.”

Zhang Jing and the others naturally had no objections. It was just that Zhang Ji and Yu He looked a little troubled. Although the verdict was passed, Zhang Li was still living in their house during the appeal period.

If they all came back to stay, Zhang Li would be the only one left at home.

The two of them had not thought of how to explain to Zhang Li that they would suddenly move back home.

Zhang Hui saw their expressions and clearly thought of this matter. The smile on his face faded slightly. He gave a few more instructions before going downstairs. It was obvious that he was worried and had to explain it to the servants at home.

He did not mention Zhang Li the entire time, and Zhang Ji did not dare to take the initiative to mention her.

However, no matter what, they were still happy that their niece was coming to their house.

During this period of time, the house was in a mess because of Zhang Li. It was rare to have something to be happy about.

On the way home at night, Zhang Ji discussed with Yu He what to buy. The two of them entered the main gate while chatting and laughing. The moment they entered the courtyard, they saw Zhang Li sitting on the swing in a daze.

During this period of time, other than being summoned to court, she didn’t go anywhere. She either stayed in her room or sat on the swing in the garden in a daze.

Zhang Li was alarmed by Zhang Ji and Yu He’s movements. She looked up and instinctively smiled when she saw the two of them.

Such a smile made Zhang Ji’s heart ache. It wasn’t even a smile. It was more like a muscle memory. There was a smile on her lips, but her eyes were dim.

“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, what happy things have you encountered?”

Zhang Li’s question instantly silenced Zhang Ji and his wife.

Zhang Li looked at their expressions and the smile on her lips slowly turned bitter. She said, “Auntie Chen brought Little Chu back. He was doing his homework when 1 came out. He should be almost done now. Go take a look. He just came to the door several times.”

Yu He glanced at Zhang Ji and said to him, “I’ll go in and see Little Chu first.”

With that, she left.

Zhang Ji watched his wife enter the house before turning to Zhang Li. “Let’s take a walk in the courtyard.”

Zhang Li knew that he had something to say to her. She did not reject him and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ji’s courtyard was filled with osmanthus flowers. It was the first time the osmanthus flowers bloomed. Although it was not enough to fill the garden with fragrance, the smell was rather strong because there were many of them planted.

In a month or two, the osmanthus flowers would completely bloom. The fragrance would be overpowering.

Actually, it was enough to have three to four osmanthus trees in a courtyard. There was no need to plant so many. Zhang Ji naturally knew this without Zhang Li saying anything. However, ever since he and Yu He moved out of his father’s house, the courtyard had been filled with osmanthus flowers and winter plums.

Yu He liked these two trees.

The osmanthus flowers were rich and oppressive, and the winter plums were fragrant and elegant. It was difficult to imagine that anyone would like both at the same time, but Yu He liked them.

Since Yu He liked them, Zhang Ji would plant them in the courtyard.

In summer, it was simply torture for those with rhinitis to come here.

Zhang Ji had a very good friend. The two of them grew up together and had a relationship for decades. However, ever since Zhang Ji planted osmanthus trees in his courtyard, that friend never came to Zhang Ji’s house again.

When Zhang Ji moved, he came once. That time, he almost suffocated. In the end, he called an ambulance to send him to the hospital.

Fortunately, their relationship did not fade because of these things. However, from then on, that friend would complain to others about Zhang Ji’s fragrant courtyard every summer.

Zhang Ji didn’t care about this at all. He didn’t explain and hired a professional gardener to take care of the osmanthus “forest”.

It was not time for the flowers to bloom yet. Zhang Ji and his sister walked between them. Occasionally, a breeze would blow over and an elegant fragrance would seep into their hearts.

Zhang Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the small osmanthus flowers that had just appeared. She couldn’t help but laugh. “1 seem to understand why Second Sister-in-law likes osmanthus flowers now.”

Zhang Ji looked at her and asked in confusion, “Why?”
