This news was no less shocking to Zhang Xiaobei than a bolt from the blue.
Something must have happened at home!
If nothing had happened at home, sister-in-law He Xiaoya wouldn't possibly have sought him out through the village committee's phone.
"Brother Chen, something happened at home, so I need to head back for a bit," Zhang Xiaobei said. "As for the competition in traditional Chinese medicine assessment, if I have time and can make it, I will definitely participate and do my best. But if I…"
At this point, Zhang Xiaobei couldn't help falling silent.
"Little brother Zhang, you don't have to blame yourself," someone said. "Even if you don't participate in the competition, I believe based on your abilities, you will rise to greatness in the future."
Zhang Xiaobei forced a smile in gratitude.
"Little brother Zhang, you also don't need to rush," Liu Wanfang spoke, "In a moment, I will ask the driver to take you back in the car; it will be faster that way."
