In her past life, Zhao Zhenzhen's military officer husband made a mistake, dying and bringing shame to the entire family.
To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhen did the hardes...
"Pah, pah, pah! Spit a few times right now. And don't you dare say anything about death again. If you really die, I'll immediately remarry with the children." Zhao Zhenzhu was angry.
Zhao Zhenzhu was not superstitious to begin with.
After being reborn, she started believing in some mystical and superstitious things. Otherwise, why would she have been reborn in the first place?
Zhou Bingchen often had to go on missions while in the army. Some of these missions were very dangerous, and Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to hear Zhou Bingchen "cursing" himself.
"Pearl, don't be angry. I won't say such things again. I want to live to be a hundred years old and protect you and the children," Zhou Bingchen said hurriedly.
During this period of closed training, Zhou Bingchen had another dream.
In the dream, Zhou Bingchen died at Liu Moli's house.
The next day, Zhou Dazhu and his family robbed Zhao Zhenzhu of her dowry.
Zhao Zhenzhu and her two children were penniless. Zhao Zhenzhu used to earn some money by making clothes for others. After her sewing machine was stolen, her way of making money was cut off.
Zhao Zhenzhu struggled to make ends meet with her two children in the Zhou family.
No matter who is in the Zhou family, even the Zhou family's dogs can bark at Zhao Zhenzhu and her two children.
Not to mention the mean-spirited Ding Ermei and Ding Xiaocui.
He was constantly cursing and swearing, saying that Zhao Zhenzhu was a "jinx" who had caused Zhou Bingchen's death.
Zhou Bingchen was furious. Wasn't his death caused by Zhou Fugui and Zhou Dazhu? What did it have to do with Zhenzhu?
Zhao Zhenzhu remained silent in the face of Ding Ermei and the others' insults.
During those years, Zhao Zhenzhu and her children lived with the Zhou family, eating the worst food and doing the hardest work every day. They also had to endure the Zhou family's verbal abuse and humiliation from time to time.
Zhou Bingchen woke up in anger halfway through his dream.
Zhou Bingchen now knows that his dreams are most likely based on things that have happened in the past.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't contact the outside world during the closed training period, Zhou Bingchen would have loved to make a phone call and hear Zhao Zhenzhu's voice.
Zhou Bingchen felt sorry for Zhao Zhenzhu, and hated his own foolish and stupid self for being so blindly filial.
Not only was he smeared after his death, but his wife and children were also implicated.
Therefore, Zhou Bingchen wants to live longer than Zhao Zhenzhu in this lifetime, as he wants to take care of her for the rest of his life.
"You're just trying to flatter me!" Zhao Zhenzhu smiled broadly.
Everyone loves to hear sweet words. Zhao Zhenzhu was no exception.
“Pearl, believe me, I won’t be manipulated. At worst, I’ll quit the army and go home to farm. As long as our family is together, I think farming is fine too,” Zhou Bingchen said.
Zhou Bingchen knew that Zhou Ruonan was afraid that if he returned to the Zhou family, he would steal the opportunity from her son Wang Lei.
Zhou Ruonan had already considered everything the old man owned to be Wang Lei's.
After Zhou Bingchen is found, the old man will definitely raise his grandson.
After all, "grandson" has the word "outer" in it!
“Zhou Bingchen, don’t you like military life? There’s no need to change your life goals for someone unrelated. We don’t steal or rob, we just try to live our lives, why should we make way for others?” Zhao Zhenzhu said.
"Pearl, you believe me now, right? That's wonderful." Zhou Bingchen beamed with joy.
"Alright, we can talk about it tomorrow. You should go and rest now. I don't want a skinny husband; it doesn't feel good to hold." Zhao Zhenzhu said seriously.
"Okay, okay, I'll go rest right away. Pearl, I'll call you at 1:30 pm tomorrow, don't forget," Zhou Bingchen said.
"Okay! I'm hanging up." After saying that, Zhao Zhenzhu hung up the phone without any hesitation.
That evening, Tao Jiadong came to the Zhao family to find Zhao Zhenzhu.
"Pearl! Could you ask the teacher tonight to ask Jiakai for a few days off so we can take the children to Beijing? I've already bought the tickets, and we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning," Tao Jiadong asked bluntly.
"We're going to Beijing? Who wants to see us? Zhou Ruonan?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked, somewhat surprised.
“It’s not Zhou Ruonan, it’s Old Zhou.” Tao Jiadong thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: “Xiao Jing has been helping Old Zhou’s health in Beijing recently. Xiao Jing said that Old Zhou’s health… may only have a little over half a month left. He wants to see you and the children.”
"How could this be?" Zhao Zhenzhu was taken aback.
Zhao Zhenzhu originally thought that with Wang Jing, the miracle doctor, around, Zhou Jin's health would get better and better.
At least, it can last for two or three years.
"There's nothing we can do. Xiaojing had already found a prescription that matched the symptoms in her family's ancestral medical book, but unfortunately, one ingredient was missing," Tao Jiadong said, shaking his head.
“Okay, I’ll ask Jiakai for leave right away. I’ll pack my bags when I get back and we’ll leave together first thing tomorrow morning,” Zhao Zhenzhu agreed.
Although Zhao Zhenzhu had never met Zhou Jin, she had heard many legends about him.
Oh no, it's not just a legend. Every story about Zhou Jin is based on real events.
This elderly woman, who dedicated her life to serving the country and its people, wanted to see her great-grandchildren before she passed away. Zhao Zhenzhu felt she should at least fulfill this wish.
"Pearl, you're a good girl. Old Zhou will definitely like you," Tao Jiadong said happily.
Before coming to the Zhao family, Tao Jiadong regretted telling Zhao Zhenzhu about Zhou Ruonan.
Tao Jiadong was afraid that Zhao Zhenzhu would refuse to take the children to Beijing to see Zhou Jin because of Zhou Ruonan.
"Uncle Tao, I only do what I should do. I don't care whether others like me or not," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
Previously, when Zhou Bingchen had disappeared without a trace, Zhao Zhenzhu was still worrying about what excuse she could use to go to the capital!
Zhao Zhenzhu really wanted to go to Beijing. Even if she couldn't buy the courtyard house she wanted, she could at least give some of the supplies in her space!
Originally, Zhao Zhenzhu planned to suggest visiting Zhou Bingchen in Beijing when she called him the next day.
Tao Jiadong's invitation was exactly what Zhao Zhenzhu wanted to hear.
"Pearl, it's settled then. I'm going home to pack my things." Tao Jiadong left happily.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhenzhu asked Zhao Qingshan to help her ask Zhou Jiakai for leave from school at the teacher's house.
There was no other way; she left in such a hurry that Zhao Zhenzhu had too many things to explain.
Although Zhao Zhenzhu didn't personally oversee the production of Chaoyun's clothing, she was always the one designing the new samples of the headdresses.
Zhao Zhenzhu's new hair accessories have always been Chaoyun Apparel's "secret weapon" for leading the trend in the hair accessory industry. They cannot be leaked before production.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't know how long she would stay in Beijing this time.
Therefore, Zhao Zhenzhu decided to entrust dozens of samples of the new hair accessories to Wu Meiyun for safekeeping.
Every now and then, Wu Meiyun would bring one or two new designs to Huang Xiuhong, the production supervisor of Chaoyun Clothing, and ask Huang Xiuhong to arrange for workers to produce them.
Most of the fabric used in the new hair accessory came from Zhao Zhenzhu's online space.
Zhao Zhenzhu still needs to find an excuse to bring it up tonight.
As for whether Wu Meiyun would have any suspicions, Zhao Zhenzhu no longer cared.
After all, she was his own mother, and Wu Meiyun was someone who loved her child dearly.
Even if Zhao Zhenzhu has any flaws, there's no need to worry, Wu Meiyun will help cover them up.
