"Pearl, I'm thirsty. I'd like to go to my father-in-law's house for a drink of water and to rest a bit," Zhou Bingchen said with an awkward smile.

“You’re not allowed to come to my house. My parents don’t want to see you,” Zhao Zhenzhu said coldly.

"No, when I went back to the army last time, my father-in-law said that a son-in-law is like half a son, and told me to treat his family as my own," Zhou Bingchen said confidently.

Zhou Bingchen had an idea in mind.

Pearl listens to her parents-in-law the most.

He wanted his parents-in-law to persuade Zhenzhu not to divorce him.

"Hmph!" Zhao Zhenzhu sneered.

A son-in-law is like half a son?

Your parents and brother have known for a long time that you're a jerk.

If your parents treat you as kindly as before this time, I'll admit defeat!

"Go ahead and follow me if you want, but let me tell you, I'm very busy and don't have time for you." Zhao Zhenzhu turned around and walked away angrily.

Anyway, nothing Zhou Bingchen said, no matter how nice it sounded, worked.

Her parents and younger brother should, probably, maybe... stand on her side, right?

As soon as Zhao Zhenzhu entered the house, several women surrounded her, chattering and asking:

"Pearl, you're finally back."

"Pearl, are you getting your hair ties done again today?"

"Pearl, can you still get work today?"

······

Zhao Zhenzhu took a look and realized that these were all her neighbors who made her hair ties.

"Grandma Hua, Sister Xiuyu, Aunt Meihua, Aunt Xiuju, please come back in half an hour. I'll tidy up first, and you can come back to collect the materials in half an hour," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
