Chapter 276 My Wife is Really Amazing

Jiang Zhizhi took a moment to realize that Zhou Xiye was saying that she was naughty when she was young and that her daughter would take after her.

Staring wide-eyed at Zhou Xiye: "What...what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Xiye smiled and reached out to pat her head: "No, it's fine. If our daughter is like you, she won't be bullied. I'd rather everyone in the yard come to me to complain than have her bullied."

Jiang Zhizhi chuckled and patted Zhou Xiye's arm: "If you keep doing this, you'll spoil the child."

Then she couldn't help but laugh again: "Zhou Xiye, do you want to have a child?"

Zhou Xiye chuckled and gently tapped her forehead with his finger: "What are you thinking about? Let's go home first."

When the two arrived home, Fang Hua and Zhou Xiaochuan had not yet returned, but Zhou Chengzhi was home.

There were many things on the living room floor: meat, frozen fish, rice, flour, and a bucket of oil, laid out like a street stall.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chengzhi was seen plucking chicken feathers in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up.

Jiang Zhizhi looked at Zhou Xiye with surprise and shock, then glanced at Zhou Chengzhi, who was squatting in the kitchen plucking chicken feathers. Her eyes were full of question marks, and she asked in a very low voice, "What's wrong with Dad?"

Zhou Xiye was also puzzled, as he had never seen Zhou Chengzhi enter the kitchen in his entire life.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Chengzhi turned around and glanced at the letter. He smiled as if nothing had happened, saying, "Zhizhi, there's a letter for you on the table. It was from the Northwest Military Region. I just happened to pass by the mailroom and picked it up for you."

Jiang Zhizhi said "Oh," and while wondering, she went to the dining table to get the letter. She tore it open and glanced at it quickly. It turned out to be a letter from Shang Xingzhou and Li Yuanchao. The two were in the same recruit company, and they put their letters in one envelope and sent them back, so that Jiang Zhizhi could receive two letters at once.

Ignoring why Zhou Chengzhi was behaving so strangely, I sat at the dinner table reading the letter.

The two probably read each other's letters, as they described similar things: how tough the recruit training was, how heavy the snowstorm was, and how they not only had to train but also shovel snow every day.

Then they started exposing each other's shortcomings. Shang Xingzhou said that Li Yuanchao was punished to tears during training, while Li Yuanchao said that Shang Xingzhou was bullied by veterans and secretly urinated in their shoes.

He then explained why he was only writing to her now: he was still in basic training, and the first month was too busy and tiring for him to write.

Jiang Zhizhi finished reading with a smile, as if the two lively characters were right in front of her.

As she watched, she said to Zhou Xiye, "They're having a lot of fun."

After reading the letter, Zhou Chengzhi, who was busy in the kitchen, remembered it. He put the letter away and planned to reply to the two of them that evening.

In the kitchen, Zhou Chengzhi cleaned the chicken, gutted it, and came out wiping his hands: "Xiye, Zhizhi, tomorrow is the Little New Year. This is the welfare that the compound gave out this year. I had my secretary pick it up directly."

Jiang Zhizhi didn't say anything; she still remembered the grudge from Zhou Xiye's forehead injury.

Zhou Xiye glanced at the ground: "These were all collected by my mother herself before?"

Zhou Chengzhi frowned: "Why are you bringing this up again? Tomorrow is the Little New Year, wouldn't it be better for the whole family to be happy together? How many Spring Festivals have you missed at home? Eight or nine?"

Zhou Xiye glanced at him calmly: "Eleven Spring Festivals."

Zhou Chengzhi didn't care about these details: "It's rare for you and Zhizhi to spend the New Year at home this year, so let's have a good New Year."

Jiang Zhizhi was surprised by Zhou Chengzhi's attitude. Did he not take Fang Hua's words to heart at all? He acted as if the divorce had never happened.

Finally, she couldn't hold back: "Dad, when Mom comes back in a bit, she'll definitely be unhappy to see you at home. Don't forget, she wants a divorce."

Zhou Chengzhi frowned, his expression serious: "Oh dear, your mother is being ridiculous, and you're joining in? It's almost New Year's, can't you just enjoy the holiday? Divorce, divorce, you should also try to persuade your mother not to join her in this nonsense."

Jiang Zhizhi retorted, "Dad, even now, you still think Mom is being unreasonable? When Xiye tried to persuade you that day, you got angry and injured him. Afterwards, didn't you even think about why Xiye was willing to speak up for Mom?"

Just as Zhou Chengzhi was about to speak, Jiang Zhizhi spoke first: "All you're thinking about now is how shameful divorce is. You haven't thought about why my mother got divorced. She's such a proud person, so why was she willing to get divorced?"

"Dad, in the end, you're just selfish!"

"You are also very controlling. You want everyone in the family to listen to you and be absolutely obedient to you, but you never think about caring about them."

“Nishino spent so many years in the Northwest, suffering countless injuries, and you never went to see him. Didn’t you know that?”

“How could you not know? You even called him and told him not to go to the front lines, how could you not know he was injured? Later, you even said he was showing off and always acting like a hero.”

Zhou Xiye looked at Jiang Zhizhi, who was chattering away, with surprise.

Weren't we talking about your parents' divorce? Why are we suddenly talking about him?

Zhou Chengzhi stared at Jiang Zhizhi: "You... what do you know?"

Jiang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly: "I don't understand, but I know that you did this because you are selfish. You don't want to hire a nanny for the sake of your image, saying that you can't stand the lifestyle of capitalists."

"If you're not going to invite me, then at least do it! But when you go home you act like a king, having my mom wait on you hand and foot. Aren't you still enjoying the life of a capitalist?"

"Look at you in public, always putting on a benevolent and righteous image, the son of someone who saved your life. You know perfectly well that family isn't any good, yet you still keep saying you're repaying a debt of gratitude. Then you repay it yourself! Why did you bring them back and make my mother arrange everything?"

"You only resolved this because my mother stopped caring, you couldn't handle it yourself, and you finally gave up and sent the other party away because you couldn't stand it anymore, right?"

Jiang Zhizhi didn't give Zhou Chengzhi a chance to speak at all, and launched into a furious barrage of words while glaring at him.

Zhou Chengzhi was too embarrassed to argue with his daughter-in-law, but his forehead was bulging with anger. Finally, he took off his apron and muttered, "This is outrageous, truly outrageous."

She tossed her apron onto the sofa, turned to go to the study, and then looked at Zhou Xiye with a forced smile: "You think so too?"

Zhou Xiye nodded slowly: "You did indeed do that."

Zhou Chengzhi pointed at his son, wanting to reprimand him but not knowing what to say.

He had never seen a family where the parents were getting a divorce and the children joined in the commotion.

Finally, in a fit of anger, she pointed at Zhou Xiye with her finger: "Forget it, I'll just go back to work."

As Jiang Zhizhi packed her things to leave, she chased after him to the door, saying, "Dad, are you really not going to think this through? If you think you've done nothing wrong, Mom will definitely divorce you!"

This time, Zhou Chengzhi lost his bravado. He frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, I'll consider it. You... and don't join in the commotion..."
