Zhou Ruonan moved into the Zhou family home under the guise of taking care of Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin had previously thought that he wouldn't live much longer, and even if Zhou Ruonan and the others moved in, they would have to move out after he died, so he just let them be.

Now that Zhou Jin has recovered, Zhou Ruonan's family has been living here, making Zhou Bingchen and Zhao Zhenzhu feel awkward talking and acting.

Zhou Jin had originally planned to remind Zhou Ruonan to move on Sunday. It's better to do it two days earlier.

"Dad, let us stay home and keep you company a little longer! It'll be more lively with more people at home." Zhou Ruonan refused to leave.

Wang Jiansheng's parents brought their grandson to Beijing a few days ago and are staying at Zhou Ruonan's house.

The house was noisy and chaotic.

Zhou Ruonan lives here, so out of sight, out of mind.

Zhou Ruonan went back to live there, and all the housework would fall to her from then on.

“Ruonan, you are a daughter-in-law of the Wang family. If you always live at your parents’ home, people will laugh at Jiansheng for being a gigolo.” Zhou Jin, as expected of Zhou Jin, accurately grasped Zhou Ruonan’s weakness as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Dad, you're right. We'll move right away. I'll go upstairs and pack my things now." Zhou Ruonan was anxious and quickly stood up and went upstairs.

Zhou Ruonan would rather wrong herself than wrong Wang Jiansheng.

It's fine for me to work a little harder, but it's unacceptable for Wang Jiansheng to be criticized.

Wang Jiansheng's face turned black.

Previously, Wang Jiansheng married Zhou Ruonan because she was simple-minded and easy to control, and because of Zhou Jin's status, she could bring Wang Jiansheng some hidden benefits.

But now, seeing Zhou Ruonan being persuaded to leave by Zhou Jin with just a few words, Wang Jiansheng felt a pang of resentment.

Originally, Wang Jiansheng planned to stay at the Zhou family's house for the New Year before leaving.

After the New Year, Director Zheng from Wang Jiansheng's workplace will be retiring.

Wang Jiansheng's close relationship with his father-in-law's family was beneficial to his promotion.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ruonan ruined all his carefully laid plans.

With things having come to this point, Wang Jiansheng couldn't say anything more.

"Dad, I'm going to check on Ruonan. I'm worried she might need my help later," Wang Jiansheng said with an awkward smile.

Zhou Jin waved her hand.

Wang Jiansheng then went upstairs.

Zhou Shengnan secretly rolled her eyes.

Wang Jiansheng's schemes could not escape Zhou Shengnan's notice.

Previously, it was simply because Zhou Jin was unwell, and Zhou Shengnan didn't want to upset him, so she didn't bother arguing with them.

"Dad, Limin and I are going back now. We'll come see you again tomorrow." Zhou Shengnan also said goodbye to Xiao Limin.

After Zhao Zhenzhu settled Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun downstairs, Zhou Jin and Zhao Zhenzhu began to discuss serious matters.

"Bingchen, what are your thoughts on your future?" Zhou Jin asked.

"Work hard, strive for promotion, and strive to give Pearl and the children a better life," Zhou Bingchen said after thinking for a moment.

"Bingchen, would you like to stay in Beijing? If so, I can help make arrangements," Zhou Jin said.

Zhou Bingchen frowned deeply.

According to Zhou Bingchen's original intention, he wanted to return to his original unit after completing his advanced studies.

After all, Zhou Bingchen had gotten used to the weather in the south and to working with his comrades.

If he stayed in Beijing, Zhou Bingchen would have to start all over again.

However, Zhou Jin is getting old. She certainly hopes for a family reunion and to enjoy quality time together.

Zhou Bingchen wanted to go back to Guangzhou, but he couldn't quite bring himself to say it.

"What? You don't want to?" Zhou Jin saw that Zhou Bingchen hadn't spoken for a long time, so how could she not guess?

“Grandpa, in principle, Pearl and I should stay in Beijing to take care of you, but I… I still want to go back to Guangzhou and work hard for another two or three years,” Zhou Bingchen said, blushing.

There are more opportunities to go on missions and earn merit in Guangzhou.

In the military, promotions are based on military merit.

If Zhou Bingchen wants to get promoted, he needs to make more contributions.

Zhou Bingchen was completely clueless about what was happening in Beijing.

It would take time to familiarize himself with the situation here, and it would also take time to get to know his soldiers. Therefore, Zhou Bingchen felt that it was better to remain still than to take any action.

“You don’t need to worry about this old body of mine. I’ve survived all those years without anyone taking care of me. Bingchen, remember, Grandpa brought you back not so that you could repay him. Just do whatever you want to do,” Zhou Jin said with a smile.

“Grandpa…” Zhou Bingchen’s eyes reddened.

“However, Grandpa still has to say this first. You can’t use Grandpa’s name to get benefits that aren’t yours while you’re in the army,” Zhou Jin said seriously. “The help Grandpa can give you is only to ensure you don’t receive unfair treatment. Your military merits are yours, and you shouldn’t try to take what isn’t yours, let alone expect Grandpa to help you take it. Do you understand?”

“Grandpa, I understand. I won’t take what isn’t mine. I hate getting something for nothing,” Zhou Bingchen nodded and said.

Zhou Bingchen had heard before that someone's credit had been stolen by someone with connections.

Zheng Shengli is a fair person, and he also protects his own.

Otherwise, even if Zhou Bingchen were highly capable, he wouldn't have been promoted so quickly.

Therefore, Zhou Bingchen understood the meaning behind Zhou Jin's words. He was also proud to have a fair and impartial grandfather.

"Good, as expected of my grandson, Zhou Jin." Zhou Jin patted Zhou Bingchen on the shoulder and said with satisfaction.

Zhou Jin believed that children and grandchildren could be incompetent, but they must always be dutiful.

It doesn't matter if someone has good character but lacks ability.

The worst kind of person is one who is incompetent, has bad character, and is also competitive and ambitious.

Having children and grandchildren like that is a disaster for the family.
