Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Chapter 1197 Don't you care?

Tang Ying and Liu Yi'an sent their blessings upon learning that Zhang Xiufang had married Hu Jian.

Because they regularly support the orphans of martyrs, they haven't saved much money over the years.

Even so, they took out their surplus money and mailed it to Zhang Xiufang as her dowry.

When Zhang Xiufang held the remittance slip, she was so moved that her nose tingled with tears.

Originally, building the house would have exhausted her savings, but now the old man is paying for it.

Professor Xie and Liu Meilan paid for the renovation, and now Liu Yi'an and Tang Ying have sent another 2 yuan, saying it's for her dowry.

Zhang Xiufang refused and immediately called Tang Ying, "Tang Ying, you've actually been good enough to Chongyang and me! Although Jianguo saved you back then, you've also given Chongyang and me a new path! On Sifang Island, we've been reborn!"

"Don't keep thinking about owing me and Chongyang anything. Really, I've never thought that way! On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes. Jian Guo is a soldier. Saving you was his own choice; it was his responsibility as a soldier."

"I believe you and Yi-an wouldn't run away from the same situation. So from beginning to end, never feel guilty! We've already done enough. I can remarry, I still have a job, and so many people care about me. I could laugh in my dreams!"

Tang Ying smiled and said, "You can't rely on your family, so Yi'an and I are your family! Isn't it only right that your family prepares some dowry for you?"

Zhang Xiufang choked up, "Tang Ying, the old man paid for the house construction, and Professor Xie and Meilan did the renovations. I really feel unworthy to give you any more money as a dowry!"

Tang Ying smiled and said, "If you can accept Grandpa's, Grandma's, and Meilan's, why can't you accept me and Yi'an's?"

Zhang Xiufang was both amused and exasperated. "What you're saying... Actually, I have my own money and I'm not short of dowry money. Besides, Fujian didn't ask for a dowry from here!"

Tang Ying comforted him, "Just because he didn't ask doesn't mean we won't give! Sister Xiufang, this is a token of our appreciation from Yi'an and me. We don't have any more, please accept it!"

Regardless, Tang Ying insisted on giving it to Zhang Xiufang, so she had no choice but to accept it.

However, Zhang Xiufang took out the 2 yuan and gave it to the old man.

When Grandpa Liu saw the 2 yuan in front of him, he was slightly taken aback. "Where did so much money come from?"

Zhang Xiufang replied, "It's the dowry money that Tang Ying and Yi An transferred to me! But I already have enough dowry, so I'm preparing this money to give to you, my esteemed elder!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Liu quickly waved his hand, "Since they gave it to you, it's their way of showing their appreciation, so just accept it! I don't need your filial piety; the government gives me a pension every month, which I can't possibly use up!"

Regardless of what happened, neither Grandpa Liu nor Professor Xie wanted the money, so it ended up in Zhang Xiufang's hands.

However, Zhang Xiufang deposited the 2 yuan separately into a card and left it for Xu Chongyang.

This is all because of Xu Jianguo, who received the protection of the Liu family, so all of this should be inherited by Chongyang.

Hu Jian booked two tables at Xingwang Restaurant. One table was for his superiors from his work unit, and the other table was for his comrades-in-arms and friends.

With everyone's blessings, the two became husband and wife. Xu Chongyang and Hu Xiaoli were also very happy.

Zhang Xiufang told Hu Xiaoli to just call her Aunt Zhang, and Xu Chongyang called Hu Jian Uncle Hu.

Biological parents are unique, and they both have memories of their children and once loved them.

They just can't live with their children, it doesn't mean they don't love them.

Therefore, this blended family doesn't require the children to change how they address each other. They want them to know who they are so they can face themselves and their family with a clear conscience.

That evening, Hu Xiaoli held Zhang Xiufang's hand and asked, "Aunt Xiufang, aren't you angry that I don't call you Mom?"

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "Don't be angry, because I'm just your aunt, not your biological mother!"

Hu Xiaoli blinked. "Don't Mom and Dad live together?"

Zhang Xiufang explained, "Brother Chongyang calls your father 'Uncle' because your father isn't Brother Chongyang's father. I am Brother Chongyang's mother, not your biological mother, so you can call me Aunt Zhang."

Hu Xiaoli asked again, "My mom isn't home, does that mean she doesn't love me anymore?"

Zhang Xiufang replied with a smile, "How could your mother not love you? Xiao Li, you're so adorable! She just doesn't have feelings for your father anymore, so they can't live together!"

Hu Xiaoli blinked. "If Mom loves me, why doesn't she come to see me?"

Zhang Xiufang thought for a moment, "Just like Aunt Zhang, your mother also needs to work! Once she has a stable job and earns money, she will come to see you! She will also buy you gifts!"

Hu Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Aunt Zhang, really?"

Zhang Xiufang nodded. "Of course it's true! Don't worry, eat well and grow up healthy! Mom will come to see you, and Aunt Zhang will take you to see Mom!"

Hu Xiaoli smiled, "Aunt Xiufang, you're so kind!"

Zhang Xiufang praised, "That's because the little carp is even better and cuter!"

Hu Xiaoli was happy and skipped around playing with her younger siblings.

Not far away, Hu Jian, his eyes reddened, rubbed his face.

Zhang Xiufang leaned closer and whispered, "Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"

Hu Jian shook his head. "You did a great job! Thank you! Xiao Li's mother really loved this child back then, but Xiao Li is a girl. I was worried that she would be mistreated if she remarried in the future, so I refused to let her take the child away."

Zhang Xiufang thought for a moment, "The child will always miss his mother. Do you have Xiaoli's mother's phone number or address?"

Hu Jian was slightly taken aback. "Don't you mind?"

Zhang Xiufang blinked. "Are you worried that you and Xiaoli's mother will rekindle your old flame?"

Hu Jian looked embarrassed. "Xiufang, don't overthink it. Time can't be turned back, and what's done is done. Now that we're divorced, I won't have any emotional entanglements with my ex."

Zhang Xiufang smiled, "I believe you can do it. The reason I contacted Xiaoli's mother is because I believe she truly loves Xiaoli. It's just that your fate has run its course and you can't live together! But that doesn't mean we'll sever the bond between mother and daughter!"

“With her phone number or address, we can write to her, and Xiaoli can hear her mother’s voice on the phone. This way, Xiaoli can grow up healthy. Xiaoli’s mother can also rest assured knowing that her daughter is doing well.”

Hu Jian nodded, "Then I'll inquire about it!"

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "We took the child out to play, so we took more photos of the child and sent them to her. A child is a piece of flesh that fell from a mother's body. No matter how far away we are, we miss the child and feel sorry for the child. I hope these photos can help ease her longing."
