In her previous life, Zhao Zhenzhu's military officer husband made a mistake, died, and brought shame to their entire family.
To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhu did the hea...
"Pearl, keep it! This is a gift from your grandpa. I also have a box, I'll give it to you when I get back to the house." Zhou Bingchen said softly.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Zhao Zhenzhu hesitated for a moment and picked up the three boxes on the table.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't know what was inside, but it was quite heavy.
The old man’s love is really heavy!
"Pearl, are you tired from the car ride? Take the children to wash up first. Dinner will be available soon. After dinner, if you have time, come over and talk to the old man." Zhou Jin said with a smile.
"Okay, grandpa, we'll come back later." Zhao Zhenzhu said obediently.
Zhao Zhenzhu knew that the old man wanted their family to go back to their room to see the gifts in the box!
Zhou Jin lives in a three-story building.
Zhou Ruonan arranged Zhao Zhenzhu's family to live on the third floor.
There are no vacancies on the second floor.
Wang Jing lived next door to Zhou Jin. In order to show that she was close to her father, Zhou Ruonan chose the two rooms opposite Zhou Jin when she moved in.
Zhao Zhenzhu walked out of the room holding the box in both hands, and saw Zhou Ruonan blocking her way with a stern face.
Zhou Ruonan stared at the boxes in Zhao Zhenzhu's hands, as if she wanted to stare a hole in them.
Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun were both frightened by Zhou Ruonan's eyes and involuntarily hid behind Zhao Zhenzhu and his wife.
Zhou Ruonan wanted to say something several times, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
"Aunt, please move aside." Zhou Bingchen frowned and said.
Zhou Ruonan glanced at Zhou Bingchen and said nothing.
Zhou Bingchen was a little confused.
What does Zhou Ruonan want to do?
"Aunt, please make way." Zhao Zhenzhu yelled, and the box in her hand "bumped" into Zhou Ruonan.
Zhou Ruonan was startled and quickly jumped to the side.
After Zhao Zhenzhu "bumped" Zhou Ruonan away, she walked forward with a swagger.
Zhao Zhenzhu saw it.
Zhou Ruonan is a bully at home. He is afraid of being bullied.
If you are more aggressive than her, she won't dare to mess with you.
Zhou Bingchen held back his laughter, held the children's hands, and hurried to catch up.
After Zhao Zhenzhu's family of four disappeared on the stairs, Zhou Ruonan stomped her feet and entered Zhou Jin's room.
"Dad, your granddaughter-in-law bullies me." Zhou Ruonan yelled.
"Zhenzhu bullied you? No way! Zhenzhu is a good and polite child." Zhou Jin opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Ruonan who was standing in front of the bed, and said lightly.
"Dad, Zhao Zhenzhu bullied me. Just now she walked out of the house and hit me with a box." Zhou Ruonan pouted.
"What I heard is different from what you said. You blocked someone's way, so you deserve to be hit." No one knows a daughter better than her father. Zhou Jin would not be provoked by Zhou Ruonan.
"Dad, why do you always speak for outsiders? I am your daughter!" Zhou Ruonan was unhappy.
"Outsider? Zhou Ruonan, Zhenzhu is a member of the Zhou family after she married Bingchen. On the contrary, you, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, you are the outsider." Zhou Jin said bluntly.
"Dad, how can you say that? I am your daughter and your blood flows in my veins. How can Zhao Zhenzhu compare with me?" Zhou Ruonan was very unconvinced.
"Zhou Ruonan, you are bored, aren't you? Comparing yourself with this person and that person, what on earth do you want to do? I warn you, Bingchen's family has suffered a lot outside over the years, so don't have any unnecessary thoughts." Zhou Jin frowned and looked at Zhou Ruonan sharply.
"Dad, you don't love me as your daughter anymore, right? In your heart, Bingchen is the only important one, and everyone else has to stand aside." Zhou Ruonan's face turned pale with anger.
"Zhou Ruonan, just say what you want to say. Don't keep beating around the bush. I don't have the time to guess what you're thinking." Zhou Jin was getting impatient.
"Dad, I saw it. Zhao Zhenzhu just took three boxes from you. Why didn't I get any? You are so partial." After Zhou Ruonan finished speaking, she pouted and looked unhappy.
"Your share was given to you when you got married! How could it be gone?" Zhou Jin said unhappily.
Zhou Ruonan blinked and dug out the wooden box that belonged to her from the corner of her memory.
It looks exactly the same as the one in Zhao Zhenzhu's hand.
Made of rosewood.
Zhou Ruonan's box contained four 250-gram gold bars, a set of gold jewelry, and a set of jade jewelry.
When Zhou Ruonan's sister Zhou Shengnan got married, she also had a wooden box like this. The contents inside were similar to Zhou Ruonan's, except for the different styles of jewelry.
Zhou Ruonan thought that only the two sisters had it, but she didn't expect that Zhao Zhenzhu, the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhou family, also had it.
Zhou Ruonan felt a little upset.
After all, Zhou Jin had a limited amount of money in his hands. If Zhao Zhenzhu took more, Zhou Jin would definitely have less to give her in the future.
"Dad, Zhao Zhenzhu has two brocade boxes besides the wooden box! Why don't I have them?" Zhou Ruonan said, rolling her eyes.
"Those two brocade boxes belong to Jiakai and Yunyun. The children are still young, so I asked Zhenzhu to keep them for them." Zhou Jin explained patiently.
Zhou Jin knew that the reason why Zhou Ruonan kept staring at the thing in his hand was because of Zhou Ruonan’s husband Wang Jiansheng.
Wang Jiansheng's family lives in the countryside and their conditions are poor.
Zhou Ruonan is a "love-brained" person and is very open-hearted to Wang Jiansheng.
Before getting married, Wang Jiansheng sent all his money back to his hometown, and he continued to do so after getting married.
Not only did Zhou Ruonan not complain at all, Wang Jiansheng also said that when the family needed money, Zhou Ruonan would take out her own salary and let Wang Jiansheng send it back to her hometown.
Over the years, if it weren't for Zhou Ruonan's dowry, Zhou Ruonan and her son wouldn't know how they would survive.
After all, as long as Wang Jiansheng coaxed Zhou Ruonan a few words, saying that his parents and brothers and sisters were very grateful to Zhou Ruonan, Zhou Ruonan would want to give her heart and liver to the Wang family.
Zhou Jin talked to Zhou Ruonan several times, but Zhou Ruonan refused to listen, saying that her family was well-off and it was her duty to help poor relatives in the countryside.
Zhou Jin was too lazy to care later.
He could only ensure that the things in his hands would not end up in the Wang family.
As for Zhou Ruonan, maybe she will come to her senses after he dies and is disliked by the Wang family.
"Jiakai and Yunyun have boxes, but why don't my Wang Lei and Wang Xiao have them?" Zhou Ruonan asked.
"Zhou Ruonan, don't pretend to be confused when you know the truth. Jiakai and Yunyun have the surname Zhou, and your two children have the surname Wang. How can they be the same? Cough cough cough..." Zhou Jin got angry and couldn't help coughing.
"Dad, you are such an old feudalist. No matter what surname your children have, don't they have your blood flowing in their bodies? I don't care. Jiakai and Yunyun have it, and my Wang Lei and Wang Xiao should have it too." Zhou Ruonan still wanted to pester Zhou Jin to see if she could get some benefits for her two children.
