Zhou Hongyu hung the washed clothes out to dry in the yard, and suddenly started sneezing uncontrollably.

Chang Meiying screamed, "Mom, you must have caught a cold because you've been getting up early for work these past few days!"

Chang Shuying said with concern, "Mom, why don't you not go these next few days? Your health is more important!"

The elderly couple from the Chang family advised, "That's right, getting sick costs money, and I'm afraid your salary won't even cover the medical expenses!"

Chen Zhaodi was washing the dishes when she heard this and pursed her lips.

She and Hongbing worked like oxen every day, and she wasn't as delicate as Zhou Hongyu. All she did was go to work and earn money, and she still got sick!

I used to think that missing a day of work would mean losing a lot of money, but now that I'm compared to Zhou Hongyu, I don't feel so bad anymore.

She's not that despicable!

The fact that Zhou Hongyu works a certain number of days a month is a matter of concern. She works 30 days a month without missing a single day. Why can't she take a break?

Zhou Hongyu hung up the last piece of clothing and wiped her nose.

Although she often feigns weakness and faints at critical moments, she is actually in excellent health. Someone must be talking about her behind her back!

A dead ghost from far away in the Northwest?

The rebellious second son who ran away from home?

The eldest son who is very affectionate with his partner?

Qi Fenglian, who loses favor because she can't finish her work?

...

Zhou Hongyu considered all the possible suspects and concluded that the biggest suspect was her eldest son.

The more inactive she became, the more restless the Wu family became.

Thinking of her brainless eldest son, she couldn't contain her anger.

They used the savings of the elderly couple from the Chang family to buy a house, and then swapped it with the Wu family. The young couple moved to live in the Wu family's small house. They were so kind!

It's a new day.

Zhou Hongyu got up ten minutes earlier than usual. It seemed that Chen Zhaodi wasn't going to cover her colleague's day shift today, so she had to get up early.

Zhou Hongyu stretched and came out of the room, only to see Chen Zhaodi waiting by the bicycle with her bag slung over her shoulder.

Chen Zhaodi: "Let's go?"

Zhou Hongyu: "Mmm."

Chen Zhaodi remained silent the whole way, then suddenly stopped at the breakfast stall.

Zhou Hongyu got out of the car with a keen eye, ready to take out money to buy breakfast for the two of them.

While she was reaching into her pocket, Chen Zhaodi silently bought two portions of meat buns and gave them to Zhou Hongyu.

“That brat Huaying never listens to us, her own parents, and only listens to outsiders. Here, take one for you, and also give one to her as an apology from me and her father!”

Zhou Hongyu put it in her bag and blinked. It had come to the point where she had to pay to apologize. How badly did this family of three make a scene yesterday?

When Zhou Hongyu arrived at the factory, she changed direction and went to find Chang Huaying first.

It was still early, but Chang Huaying was already reading outside the office.

If Chang Hongbing and his wife hadn't listened to slander and forced their studious youngest daughter to attend a vocational school, Chang Huaying would very likely have become the first college student in the family.

What a hardworking and good child!

"Huaying, you're here to read so early in the morning!"

"Second Aunt!"

Because of yesterday's argument, Chang Huaying was still in a bad mood. She forced a smile and closed the book: "It's just some books about work."

Zhou Hongyu handed the warm meat bun to Chang Huaying, who thanked her repeatedly.

"Don't thank me, your mom bought this especially for you, and I just happened to get one too."

Chang Huaying paused in her bite of the steamed bun, a different light flashing in her eyes: "My mom bought it!!!"

"Yes, your mom paid for it. She and your dad were stubborn, but afterwards they both felt they had done wrong. They were too embarrassed to apologize to you in person, so they asked me to be the middleman."

Zhou Hongyu spoke earnestly and patiently.

In the past, she wouldn't have cared about being the mediator between Chen Zhaodi and Chang Huaying.

If you're stubborn, you'll suffer the consequences yourself; but if you dare to say hurtful things in a moment of anger, you deserve it no matter how badly you feel.

But when she thought of her niece's life in her dream, which seemed to be filled with bad luck, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the child.

Forget it, I'll just consider it a favor I owed Chen Zhaodi in my past life, and in this life I'll run errands for her and say good things for her!

Chang Huaying took a bite of the meat bun with tears in her eyes. She knew her parents very well; they had lived a frugal life for most of their lives. The fact that they would spend money to buy her meat buns to apologize showed their sincerity.

Chang Huaying said, her voice trembling with tears, "They're always like this. I worry about their health, but they're only concerned with urging me to find someone to marry so I can live a peaceful life. It's not that I don't want to listen, it's just that those people..."

It's rubbish!

Chang Huaying is a very good girl. She has a good job, a good personality, and good looks. She has little family burden and is capable in both social and domestic settings. However, Chen Zhaodi, who finds a blind date for her daughter, is very unreliable.

One-sided listening and believing.

They were terrified that their daughter wouldn't be able to get married.

As long as the matchmaker said it was good, they would insist on meeting Chang Huaying no matter what, but of course, it didn't work out in the end.

The couple, Chen Zhaodi and her husband, who were eager to marry off their daughter as soon as possible, could only look for the reasons in their daughter, which also caused Chang Huaying to suffer psychological trauma.

Zhou Hongyu knew what was going on and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Huaying, if you want to get married, then get married. If you can't find a good blind date, then take your time looking. You can't force fate!"

Chang Huaying eventually married someone in a fit of anger because she was troubled by blind dates. She met the wrong person and fell into misery at a young age.

Zhou Hongyu had watched her grow up since she was a child, and they had a deep bond. Chang Huaying had also been very good to the children of the second wife. With this affection, she didn't want to see her repeat the same mistakes.

After being comforted, Chang Huaying felt much better, smiling through her tears: "Second Aunt, I was also wrong. I was too impulsive and argued with them. After all, they are my parents, and they are thinking of me. I will apologize to them and make up with them when I get home from get off work!"

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, just don't let yourself be wronged!"

"Um."

Chang Huaying stopped crying.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhou Hongyu parted ways with her and went to her office.

Chairman Lin spent the entire morning in his office, doing his own work while directing his subordinates.

Qi Fenglian, who sat next to Zhou Hongyu, had her head down since entering the office, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Zhou Hongyu turned her head and met Sister Sun's eyes. They nodded to Qi Fenglian as if they were on the same wavelength.

Yesterday, after they got off work, there was another good show!

Brother Huang and Xiao Yu were tight-lipped, and no information could be gleaned from them. The two regretted leaving too early yesterday.

Qi Fenglian had swollen eyes, her head down, fiddling with something in her hands; she didn't seem to be doing any work.

Chairman Lin was focused on his work, seemingly unconcerned that Qi Fenglian was slacking off right under his nose.

real?

Zhou Hongyu had a big question mark in her mind.

Half an hour before lunch, Qi Fenglian abruptly got up with swollen eyes.

Everyone else looked at her, and Zhou Hongyu and Sister Sun looked at Chairman Lin at the same time.

Chairman Lin glanced at it and then buried himself in his work again.

Qi Fenglian increased the force with which she packed her things, making a loud clattering noise, but she didn't get a single glance from Chairman Lin. In the end, she ran out of the office crying.

Sister Sun: You broke up?

Zhou Hongyu: Mm.

Excitement is indeed the devil. Qi Fenglian, who had Chairman Lin completely under her thumb in her dream, publicly humiliated him. Didn't she know that Chairman Lin cared most about his reputation?

This scumbag and his slut can never go back to the way things were!
