Zhang Zian was left speechless by Zhuang Xiaodie's question.
Did the bride-escorting team have anything to do with him?
His family was from Binhai city, but he wasn't sure how "ancestral" it was. His family wasn't a very old-fashioned and traditional family, so he didn't care about family history. Therefore, he didn't know when his ancestors had lived in Binhai city. Considering the dynasty cycle in China history, they might have fled to this place during a war and settled down.
From his parents 'occasional mention, he seemed to have heard that his family's ancestors used to be rich, but they slowly declined in the long twentieth century, one war after another. In addition to the several turmoil after the liberation, no matter how rich a family was, they couldn't withstand such a torment.
