"The first time Dad met Bingchen's wife, he gave her a bunch of things. I felt it was unfair, so I protested a few times, and Dad got upset and told me to get out. Jiansheng, Dad is really too biased. Why do Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun, who grew up outside, get gifts from Dad, while our Wang Lei and Wang Xiao get nothing?" Zhou Ruonan pouted, remembering the embarrassment she felt from being scolded by Zhou Jin that afternoon.

Wang Jiansheng gave Zhou Ruonan a deep look, suppressing the curse that was about to escape his lips.

Why did the old man favor Zhou Bingchen's family?

Why can't Zhou Ruonan understand such a simple principle?

Zhou Bingchen's surname is Zhou, and he is the sole heir of the Zhou family. His children also bear the surname Zhou. Isn't it normal for the old man to favor them a little?

Wang Jiansheng's parents also favored their own grandson, while their grandsons from other families were sidelined.

However, Wang Jiansheng would definitely not tell Zhou Ruonan this.

After all, the benefits Zhou Ruonan received from the old man all came from the Wang family.

“Ruonan, Dad is getting old and sometimes he gets confused. Don’t take it to heart. Spend more time with Dad when you have time, and he’ll appreciate it,” Wang Jiansheng said gently, trying to comfort him.

"Jiansheng, in this world, you are the best to me." Zhou Ruonan looked at Wang Jiansheng with a touched expression and said.

Zhou Ruonan felt that Wang Jiansheng was the person who understood her best, and every time he spoke, he could touch her heart.

Zhou Shengnan, that tomboy, is always so loud and boisterous in front of her father, unlike her, who is always so caring and attentive to him.

One day, Dad will know that she, the eldest daughter Zhou Ruonan, is the most filial daughter in the family.

“You’re my wife, if I don’t treat you well, who else should I treat well?” Wang Jiansheng said with a smile.

"Jiansheng." Zhou Ruonan threw herself into Wang Jiansheng's arms and hugged his waist.

Caught off guard, Wang Jiansheng was knocked back two steps by Zhou Ruonan before he regained his footing.

Looking at Zhou Ruonan's chubby figure, Wang Jiansheng's eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

"Jiansheng, I'm so sorry! Did I hurt you?" Zhou Ruonan looked up and reached out to rub Wang Jiansheng's chest.

"No, no, even if I really hurt myself, it's my own fault. Who told me I wasn't strong enough to withstand Madam's bump?" Wang Jiansheng's face instantly turned into a smile as he reached out and gently patted Zhou Ruonan's back.

"Oh, you're so annoying." Zhou Ruonan lowered her head, a hint of shyness on her face.

Meanwhile, on Zhou Shengnan's side...

After Zhou Shengnan went upstairs, she stood at Zhou Jin's door and called out, "Dad~! Can I come in?"

"Shengnan! Come in!" Zhou Jin said.

Zhou Shengnan hurriedly pushed open the door, and Zhou Jin was sitting by the window reading a book with his back to her.

After Zhou Ruonan closed the door, Zhou Jin turned around.

"Dad! Are you all better?" Zhou Shengnan exclaimed in surprise.

When Zhou Shengnan saw Zhou Jin a couple of days ago, Zhou Jin was lying in bed, looking very haggard, and her voice was weak and listless.

Today, Zhou Jin spoke with a strong voice and looked radiant, as if she had become ten years younger.

“Yes, I’m all better.” Zhou Jin stood up with a smug look on her face, opened her arms and twirled in front of Zhou Shengnan.

After taking a medicinal bath, Zhou Jin took a nap and has just woken up, feeling full of energy.

I can't resist showing off to my youngest daughter right now.

"Dad, did you... take some kind of magic pill?" Zhou Shengnan's eyes swept over Zhou Jin from head to toe, her face full of joy.

This is truly a miracle!

My father, who was originally sickly, was now standing before me, full of energy.

If Zhou Shengnan hadn't pinched herself and felt the pain, she would have really wondered if she was dreaming.

"Hahaha...you're right! I finally got all the medicine on Dr. Wang's prescription today. After taking it, I feel incredibly relaxed," Zhou Jin said with a smile.

"Thank goodness! Dad, we really need to thank Dr. Wang properly," Zhou Shengnan said.

“I certainly have to thank Dr. Wang, but your father was able to escape with his life this time thanks to Bingchen’s wife for bringing out her family’s traditional medicine. Otherwise, these old bones of mine wouldn’t have lasted many more days!” Zhou Jin said.

Zhou Jin is getting older, so she has more things to think about.

Zhou Bingchen's family had been living in another city and didn't have a deep relationship with Zhou Shengnan and her family.

Zhou Jin specifically pointed out that his health had improved because Zhao Zhenzhu had brought out a family heirloom medicine. This was to give Zhou Shengnan a good impression of Zhou Bingchen's family.

Zhou Ruonan was obsessed with self-interest and harbored hostility towards the return of Zhou Bingchen's family.

Zhou Shengnan is different.

Zhou Shengnan has always hated evil and has a very positive outlook on life.

Although Zhou Jin is better this time, he is still seventy-one years old.

Nobody knows how much longer he can live.

Zhou Jin hopes that even if she leaves this world one day, Zhou Bingchen's family and Zhou Ruonan's family can love and support each other.

"Bingchen's wife is in Beijing? Dad, why didn't you tell me on the phone? As their sister-in-law, I haven't even prepared a gift for them yet," Zhou Shengnan complained.

"It's alright, Pearl and Bingchen are both magnanimous and won't hold it against you," Zhou Jin waved her hand and said.

"Dad, could you lend me two hundred yuan first? I'll pay you back tomorrow. I'll give the two kids red envelopes today, and I'll make up for Bingchen and Zhenzhu's gifts later," Zhou Shengnan said after thinking for a moment.

Zhou Shengnan felt that since her nephew and nephew's wife were adults, it was okay to give them a gift later. However, she couldn't forget to give the two children red envelopes, as it was her way of showing her appreciation as their aunt.

"The money is in the drawer, take it yourself! You don't need to pay it back." Zhou Jin waved her hand, a satisfied look on her face.

“Dad, how can we not return it? If we don’t return it, is this gift yours or mine?” Zhou Shengnan naturally disagreed.

Although two hundred yuan is more than a month's salary for Zhou Shengnan and her husband.

However, Zhao Zhenzhu brought out the family's precious medicinal herbs to treat the old man's illness!

Zhou Shengnan thought that the ancestral, life-saving medicinal herbs must not be cheap.

Therefore, Zhou Shengnan wanted to take the opportunity of giving Zhao Zhenzhu a gift to help her out.

“Okay, whatever you want. No need to rush to pay me back tomorrow. Pay me whenever you have the money.” Zhou Jin agreed.

“Dad, since Yanzi and Xiaoli got married, Limin and I haven’t had any expenses in the past few years. Our salaries are not low, and we have saved more than two thousand yuan! I have money,” Zhou Shengnan said with a smile.

Zhou Shengnan and her husband had two daughters.

The eldest daughter, Xiao Yanyan, is 25 years old this year and got married in Guangzhou two years ago. The younger daughter, Xiao Lili, is 23 years old this year and got married in Beijing last year.

After their two daughters got married, Zhou Shengnan and her husband had no burdens at all.

They are people who are used to being frugal, and they can save most of their monthly salary.
