Zhou Jinyu walked out with the flower delivery person under the watchful eyes of everyone.

At this moment, her heart was filled with fantasies. Perhaps she had become a favored child of heaven like Zhou Liangyu, and she would no longer need to envy anyone!

Zhou Jinyu accepted a large bouquet of beautiful flowers and happily returned home.

A masked assailant suddenly darted out from the corner, his sharp dagger aimed fiercely at the woman's face.

As the light faded, Zhou Jinyu instantly sensed danger and, relying on her strong physique, forcefully twisted her waist.

The dagger missed!

The assailant showed no interest in fighting and simply shoved Zhou Jinyu aside to escape.

People drawn by the screams saw Zhou Jinyu lying in a pool of blood and quickly dialed for emergency help.

Zhou Jinyu fell to the ground, desperately trying to cover her wound, praying that she could escape this calamity. She didn't want to die; she wanted to live. Her good days had just begun!

Blood red obscured their vision, and employees in familiar uniforms stood not far away whispering among themselves.

Lovers who destroy other people's families deserve a terrible death...

Zhou Jinyu suddenly felt her hand go limp and lose its strength.

Zhou Jinyu was hospitalized after an accident, and the old village chief's family was devastated!

Zhou Fumei kept jumping around, shouting, "Find Granny Zhou! Find your nephews and nieces! Who killed my daughter?! They must be shot!"

The old village chief was undecided. The two families had broken off all ties due to various issues in the past. It would be beneath him to go to their door again.

The old village chief didn't want to lose face!

As for Zhou Jinbao, he was so frightened by the news that he immediately took a train to another place to hide, fearing that he had inadvertently offended someone outside and they would come looking for him at home.

This guy only cared about himself, didn't tell his family anything, didn't remind them, and just ran away.

Zhou Fumei shouted, "You still have a son! Is saving face more important than your son? Who knows if that thug has given up!"

"Yes, my son absolutely cannot get hurt!" The old village chief slapped his thigh and made a decisive decision.

The old village chief and Zhou Fumei abandoned Zhou Jinyu, who was still being treated, and rushed to Zhoujia Village, where they pounded on the door of Granny Zhou's house.

I shouted until my throat was hoarse, but there was still no response from inside.

The two men tried to break down the door, but villagers who had been watching from the sidelines intervened and stopped them, informing them of the situation.

"Granny Zhou has gone to town to see a play. She might be staying in Shuangdong Hutong tonight. There's no use making a fuss here. Hurry up and go to town to find her!"

News of Zhou Jinyu's accidental injury did not reach Zhoujia Village. The villagers, seeing the two men's actions, assumed they had ill intentions again.

After all, there was a precedent of Zhou Jinyu ruining Zhou Liangyu's life.

The two old village chiefs were only concerned about their son's safety and didn't mention Zhou Jinyu's matter at all before rushing off to the city.

Zhou Hongyu was shocked to learn of Zhou Jinyu's accident, but then she was relieved that her mother hadn't returned from the opera yet, otherwise she would have been extremely anxious.

Although Zhou Jinyu did something wrong, it is still very sad that such a disaster has happened and her fate is now unknown.

Zhou Hongyu knows her mother very well; her mother knows she will definitely intervene if she finds out.

She won't allow it!

There isn't a single good person in my uncle's family!

Before Zhou Jinyu did anything to harm her second sister, one could say that bad bamboo produces good shoots. But in hindsight, this family is all cut from the same cloth, and anyone who gets involved with them will not have a good outcome.

Zhou Hongyu stood up with a dark face to see the guests out: "After something like this happened, instead of staying at the hospital or reporting it to the police station, you went to all this trouble to come to my mother. Do you think my mother is some kind of deity who can solve everything with a single word!"

"We're looking for your mother, not you. Mind your own business!"

Zhou Fumei was furious: "They really aren't from the same family. Their hearts are so cruel, my daughter..."

This happened at the Chang family home, where Zhou Fumei disregarded everything and brought up Zhou Hongyu's background directly.

The Chang family members all looked on in disbelief. Given how much Zhou Pozi doted on Zhou Hongyu, how could this mother and daughter not be their biological children?

"Enough!"

Zhou Hongyu's expression changed. No matter who gave birth to her, she will always only have one mother!

Just as she was about to unleash her pent-up anger, Zhou Pozi's roar came from the doorway.

"Get back there!"

"Sister-in-law, you're back!"

The old village chief still couldn't grasp the situation. Upon hearing the noise, he quickly chased after the sound, his only thought at that moment being his son's safety.

Upon seeing him, Granny Zhou slapped him across the face with a livid expression, then walked a few steps to Zhou Fumei and slapped her again.

"ah!"

"Get out of here now!"

Zhou Fumei clutched her swollen face in excruciating pain, finally realizing the unforgivable thing she had done, and turned deathly pale with fright.

Realizing this too late, the old village chief did the same, and quickly pulled Zhou Fumei away from the Chang family.

Granny Zhou thought she was about to kill someone!

"Mom..." Zhou Hongyu felt inexplicably aggrieved.

"Mom's here!" Granny Zhou hugged Zhou Hongyu's head to comfort her, while glancing at the Chang family members with an air of 'If you dare to say a word, you're asking for death.'

The Chang family surrenders with both hands raised: you two must be their biological children!

After a while, Zhou Hongyu calmed down and lifted her head from Granny Zhou's embrace. Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was hoarse.

"Mom, the murderer hasn't been caught yet, so don't go back to the village. Chang Xingwang's workplace has allocated him a small building there, and security is very tight. Let's move there!"

Although Zhoujia Village is their own territory, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer is in the village, or perhaps someone they know.

Zhou Fumei's family was arrogant and domineering, and had offended many people in the village before. Maybe that's why the murderer held a grudge.

Not wanting the child to worry, Granny Zhou agreed.

The elderly couple from the Chang family readily agreed: "My dear in-laws, the city is different from the village. The police station isn't far away, and the neighborhood committee has even set up a patrol team. They question any strangers who come in!"

Chen Zhaodi counted on her fingers: the welfare housing allocated by the work unit, the new house built in Zhoujia Village, and now Chang Xingwang has also been allocated a house. Zhou Hongyu has so many houses that she can't even count them all.

What's the point of having so many houses? You can't live in them all, and they just gather dust. It's better to convert them into money and deposit them in the bank to earn interest.

She vaguely regretted her impulsive decision to buy two apartments above Zhou Hongyu's; she had bought them too early…

Once you've made the decision, just move.

You can either buy daily necessities or take them from the Chang family. There are potential risks in Zhoujia Village, so don't go back for the time being.

Zhou Hongyu made a token call to Chang Xingwang to inquire, but Chang Xingwang was busy with work and didn't answer. So Zhou Hongyu simply agreed on his behalf!

If I didn't hear any objections, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

They didn't go to bed until very late that day, and strangely, Chang Xingwang didn't come home at that time either.

Sleeping alone in the large bed, the space felt strangely empty, and Zhou Hongyu drifted off to sleep with a sense of melancholy.
