They criticized Zhao Zhenzhu for constantly leeching off her family over the years; otherwise, the Zhao family wouldn't have been unable to cover Zhao Tianyu's debts.

If the deficit is covered, Zhao Tianyu won't go to jail; if Zhao Tianyu doesn't go to jail, Zhao Qingshan and Wu Meiyun won't die.

Zhao Zhenzhu was speechless with shame and remorse, and took Jiakai and Yunyun back to Zhoujia Village.

After Zhao Zhenzhu returned home, Ding Ermei scolded her every day. She said that Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't tell which side of the family she was related to, and that even after marrying into the Zhou family, she still frequently went back to her parents' home.

Not only that, Ding Ermei also frequently skimped on food for Zhao Zhenzhu and her two children.

Zhao Zhenzhu endured it all.

In June of the following year, Zhou Bingchen returned home to visit his family.

Just as Zhao Zhenzhu was about to tell Zhou Bingchen about her grievances during this period, Zhou Bingchen was called away by his father, Zhou Fugui.

What happened next was somewhat unbelievable.

Zhou Bingchen simply refused to believe it.

This must just be a dream, and has nothing to do with reality.

As Zhou Bingchen drifted off to sleep again, this was what he thought.

What happened next gave Zhou Bingchen a different perspective on the dream.

The next morning, the communications soldier informed Zhou Bingchen that the regimental commander was looking for him.

Zhou Bingchen went to the regimental headquarters and was taken aback by the regimental commander Zheng Shengli's appearance today.

Zheng Shengli has three scratches on his left cheek, one of which is still bleeding.

In Zhou Bingchen's dream last night, the scratches on Zheng Shengli's face were from when his wife, He Xiaolian, scratched him this morning before he left the house.

Of course, Zheng Shengli firmly denied it, saying to everyone who asked that he was riding his bike in the morning and was scratched by a tree branch because he wasn't paying attention.
