"Bingchen, Dad is not asking you to really divorce Zhao Zhenzhu. Dad is asking you to scare her." Zhou Fugui heard the displeasure in Zhou Bingchen's tone and hurriedly explained.

"Dad, Zhenzhu won't believe it. She and I have two children! If Zhenzhu believes it, I will be left without a wife." Zhou Bingchen would not be fooled.

He was rarely at home throughout the year, and Zhenzhu took care of all the household chores and children by herself.

In Pearl's eyes and heart, he was the only one. In order to vent his parents' anger, he wanted to scare Pearl and say that he wanted to divorce her? He was not a fool.

"Bingchen, what are you afraid of? You are an officer now. Even if you get divorced, there are still many young girls waiting to marry you. But Zhao Zhenzhu is different. She is a rural woman who has given birth to a child. No one will want her after she gets divorced. As long as you say you want a divorce, it will definitely scare Zhao Zhenzhu." Seeing that his son was unhappy, Zhou Fugui hurriedly tried to persuade him earnestly.

"Dad, stop talking. I won't divorce Zhenzhu. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm hanging up. The phone bill is expensive. If you keep talking, I'll almost have nothing left of my monthly allowance." Zhou Bingchen was very impatient.

Zhou Bingchen deliberately brought up the phone bill in order to find an excuse to stop sending money home this month.

Zhou Bingchen knew from his dream that even if he was very caring towards his parents and sent them a lot of money, they would not think he was good.

Zhou Bingchen had been in the army for twelve years. During these twelve years, except for the first three years of compulsory military service, his allowance was small and he could only send home six yuan a month. Later, Zhou Bingchen became a volunteer soldier and sent home ten yuan a month. Later, he was promoted to company commander and used to send home ten yuan a month and give ten yuan to Zhao Zhenzhu. Unexpectedly, all the twenty yuan was swallowed up by Ding Ermei.

Zhou Bingchen and Zhao Zhenzhu have been married for more than seven years. By this calculation, the amount of money Zhou Bingchen has sent home should be close to two thousand yuan over the years.

But what about Zhou Fugui?

When he wanted Zhou Bingchen to die, he still did it.

On the other hand, as for Zhao Zhenzhu, Zhou Bingchen felt that he owed Zhao Zhenzhu too much over the years.

In the past, he always thought that they were family after all, and when Zhao Zhenzhu needed money, she could ask Ding Ermei for it, and Ding Ermei could not refuse to give it to her.

Thinking about it now, it might be difficult.

Ding Ermei would make a fuss even when Zhao Zhenzhu ate a few eggs. The money spent on Zhenzhu and the children in the past few years must not be much.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have to worry about his parents' feelings and would have sent the money directly to Zhenzhu.

The more Zhou Bingchen thought about it, the more regretful he felt.

"Bingchen, you've grown up and become independent, and you're no longer willing to listen to your dad." Zhou Fugui was unhappy.

Zhou Fugui has always been like this. No matter how unreliable his ideas are, Zhou Fugui likes his children to obey him.

Zhou Bingchen had offended him again and again today, and Zhou Fugui couldn't help but feel angry.

"Dad, other parents always advise their children to live a good life and not to make trouble, but you force me to divorce. I feel...uncomfortable. Sometimes I even doubt...whether I am your and mom's biological child." Zhou Bingchen sniffed and said, "Before, my eldest brother, second brother and youngest sister did nothing at home, and you and mom smiled at them. If I didn't do my work well, I would either be scolded or beaten. Now, you force me to divorce, I..."

When Zhou Bingchen reached this point, he pretended that his throat was choked with sobs and he couldn't continue speaking, but his ears perked up, wanting to hear what Zhou Fugui would say.

Zhou Fugui was stunned.

Was what he and Ding Ermei did so obvious?

However, Zhou Bingchen had been stubborn since he was a child, and no matter how he was scolded or beaten, he would not shed a tear.

She actually cried today. It seems she was really sad.

"Bingchen, I was strict with you before because I thought you were a promising talent. I asked you to work more and gain more experience! If it weren't for your father's foresight, you wouldn't have been able to become an officer in the army, right?" Zhou Fugui never forgets to flatter himself all the time.

"Yes, I know Dad is doing this for my own good. But Zhenzhu and I really can't get divorced." Zhou Bingchen said firmly.

Zhou Fugui didn't dare to force it anymore, so he said angrily: "Forget it, forget it. I don't care about your business anymore. I'm just afraid that the army will know that you two are not filial and it will affect your future."

Zhou Bingchen was so angry that he laughed.

This is his father, a selfish and cold-hearted father.

From childhood to adulthood, as long as Zhou Bingchen did something that was not in line with Zhou Fugui's wishes, Zhou Fugui would find ways to control Zhou Bingchen.

What Zhou Fugui meant by this was to remind Zhou Bingchen that if Zhao Zhenzhu continued to go against them, he would go to the army leaders to report that Zhou Bingchen and his wife were "unfilial"!

"Dad, I'm hanging up now. Call me if you have anything." Zhou Bingchen hung up the phone without waiting for Zhou Fugui's response.

Zhou Bingchen felt ashamed of his foolish past self.

In the past, Zhou Bingchen always felt that he was ignored by his parents because he did not do enough.

The reason why he didn't talk to Ding Ermei about the allowance before was that he wanted his parents to think that he had made it and could make a "great contribution" to the family.

Zhou Bingchen hopes that his parents will show more care and concern for him, his wife and children because of his "usefulness".

As a result, everything was just Zhou Bingchen's own imagination.

The relationship between people cannot be maintained by money alone.

Zhou Bingchen has given up on Zhou Fugui.

Zhou Fugui listened to the "click" sound of the phone being hung up and clenched the receiver in his hand in anger.

Didn't he just want Zhou Bingchen to scare Zhao Zhenzhu? Was Zhou Bingchen expressing his dissatisfaction with him?

"Uncle Fugui, what's wrong?" Zhou Dazhu asked.

"Nothing, Bingchen said he was busy and asked me to call him if I have anything." Zhou Fuguiqiang said with a smile.

Zhou Fugui didn't want Zhou Dazhu to know that he had a conflict with Zhou Bingchen.

Their family's status in Zhoujia Village depends entirely on Zhou Bingchen, the "officer's son".

"Uncle Fugui, I just heard why you want your Bingchen to get a divorce? Zhao Qingshan is such a capable man! If you become Zhao Qingshan's relative, your family will also benefit, right?" Zhou Dazhu asked.

"It's not a real divorce. I just want the Zhao family to remember this lesson. This time my second sister was taken to the police station and it was all because of Zhao Zhenzhu. I went to Zhao Qingshan for help, but he said that he could not interfere with the police in performing their duties. I was so angry." Zhou Fugui said.

"Uncle Fugui, divorce is a big deal and you can't use it to scare people. Bingchen is the most promising of your children, and you will have to rely on him for a lot in the future! Don't force him to become divorced from you." Zhou Dazhu kindly advised.

Zhou Fugui has four children.

Zhou Bingchen is not only the most capable, but also the most filial.

The other three were either bad or stupid. They were short-sighted and only cared about the little money that Zhou Fugui and his wife had. Zhou Meimei, who was the most thoughtful, even coaxed Zhou Fugui into giving her the job.

Unfortunately, Zhou Fugui and his wife have never been able to figure it out.
