In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Jiang Xingan waved his hand and said, "Go out first!"
Jiang Weihua looked worried, but he was happy in his heart. His father at least had a direct understanding of the Zhou family's misery.
Based on his understanding of his father, he would definitely send someone to investigate the Zhou family at this time.
No matter how the people who came back from the investigation tried to cover it up, they could not hide the grievances and hardships that the Zhou family had suffered.
He didn't think so before. He just thought that the Zhou family was living a good life. Every commoner has gone through hard times. The Zhou family has developed into the richest family in the town and even the county. They are considered a blessed family.
However, now she knew that everything he had enjoyed since childhood should have been enjoyed by Zhou Xiang's family, but he had treated Zhou Niao condescendingly. No wonder Zhou Xiang was angry at that time. She should have guessed it at that time.
Now that he figured it out, he felt very uncomfortable. He felt like a thief who had stolen everything from Zhou Xiang, Zhou Niao and the others, and still acted arrogantly in front of them.
Looking back, it was really abominable.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xing'an asked, feeling his son's mood suddenly drop.
"Father, I..."
Jiang Weihua told his father what he was thinking, how he treated Zhou Niao during the housewarming party, and how angry Zhou Xiang was.
Jiang Xing'an sighed and comforted his son, "This has nothing to do with you. It's all your father's fault. You don't have to take it to heart. Tell me what happened to the Zhou family after the changes."
Jiang Weihua started talking about how Zhou Xiang used the excuse of doing housework to study at home but took the opportunity to go out and earn money, and continued talking about the day when the Zhou family moved to a new house, and when Zhou Xiang saw the old man in the wheelchair, that smile, that smile that made him feel distressed.
Jiang Xing'an's heart skipped a beat. Zhou Xiang was unwelcome and disgusted with Old Zhou.
So, what did Lao Zhou do to disgust her?
However, when he guessed that she was a descendant of the Kong family, Zhou Xiang's smile was crazy, a kind of crazy smile that came from understanding something.
So, what did Zhou Xiang understand? Did she know about the Kong family?
That revolver was Lao Zhou's private collection! Why was it in Zhou Xiang's hands?
Zhou Xiang~She definitely found out about Lao Zhou's things. Lao Zhou had good things but made Zhou Xiang's family live a miserable life, so she hated Lao Zhou.
Moreover, she also knew the Kong family, and after discovering Lao Zhou's things, she understood his guess that she was a descendant of the Kong family.
So, she not only knew that he had escaped, but also that he had escaped with wealth and beautiful women.
So she hated her grandfather, a hatred that was as strong as the sky and earth. Otherwise, how could she destroy all the good things in his house?
He thought, if possible, she wanted to shoot the bullet at him, right?
Even if he was that crazy, he still retained a trace of rationality.
It took less than an hour to guess his identity. After all, from the time the son met the eldest daughter to the time Zhou wanted to snatch the teapot from Zhou Niao's hand, it only took the time to go up and down the stairs.
It only took her a few minutes to figure out what he was doing with Lao Zhou. This granddaughter must have a high IQ. Although she seemed stupid when she was a child, it doesn't mean that her IQ is low.
"Hua'er, how are her grades?"
Jiang Weihua smiled lovingly upon hearing this. "Great! Very good. This time, she's here to participate in the national competition. Last year, she said she was going to compete and would come to see me, and sure enough, she did. However, I didn't have time to ask her about her results."
Jiang Xing'an pondered for a moment and said, "Call and ask."
"Good!" Jiang Weihua was very happy, feeling like a parent calling a teacher to ask about their child's grades.
Not long after, Jiang Weihua hurried in and said, "Dad, she got full marks. She got first place in all four subjects. Full marks. She's even better than me. Hahahaha."
Jiang Xing'an also showed a smile on his face, but then his face darkened again.
Such a genius, yet he had great hatred towards him. He could neither be happy nor suppress her, because that was his granddaughter!
It's so uncomfortable to feel so depressed!
If Zhou Xiang knew that just this alone would make that "good grandpa" uncomfortable, he would definitely laugh three times. There would be even more discomfort in the future!
Zhou Xiang was now being dragged by her mother, who took her out under the pretext of taking a walk to digest her food and asked her about meeting Professor Chu.
"Mom! I came back late because the professor was testing me. He had already accepted me and sent someone to Huai County to transfer my student status, asking me to attend high school here.
After I send you back, I will be back in early August. It is unknown whether I will have time to go back during the winter and summer vacations. You should take care of yourself. I will call you when I have time.
It's a little difficult for you to contact me. I'm fully committed to studying with Professor Chu, and my regular vacations and winter and summer breaks are all taken up. Will I live on campus or somewhere else? I don't even know!
Also, my affairs must be kept confidential, so to the outside world, you can only say that I transferred to Beijing to study, and nothing else."
Mother Zhou nodded repeatedly. She understood! Top talents all need to be secretive to be safe.
Her little girl has also become a top talent. Mother Zhou looked at her little girl with satisfaction. Zhou Xiang leaned on her mother's arm, and the mother and daughter walked back quietly.
The next day, Zhou wanted to go to the train station to buy ten sleeper berths for the night of the 23rd.
When everyone heard that they were going back, some were excited and some were reluctant.
Zhou's mother spent a day at her sister's place. Looking at her own mother's face full of wrinkles, and thinking of her little daughter saying that the beauty next to her father looked younger than herself, Zhou's mother's resentment towards her mother suddenly disappeared, but her resentment towards her father increased.
When she heard that her eldest daughter was going back, Old Lady Liu cried. She was reluctant to let her go, but her daughter finally had a family.
She, a person who had lost her hometown, husband and son, could only spend her old age with her daughters. However, the younger daughter received more care from her, and it was right for her to let the younger daughter support her in her old age. After all, in Xiang Xiang's dream, the eldest daughter had already seen her off to the end of her life.
The mother and her two daughters sat together and cried for a long time.
Seeing his mother coming back with red and swollen eyes, Zhou wanted to ask his mother not to say goodbye when she left tomorrow, as parting would be too painful.
Who knew that the next day, my aunt came with Old Lady Liu.
Jiang Weifang returned the money she had borrowed from Zhou Xiang before. Zhou Xiang hesitated for a moment, then took it, believing that a small amount of kindness should be repaid with a big amount of remorse.
After entering the house, he took out a small bag of newly made Type 3 dried fruits and handed it to Long Chao, "Uncle, this is better than the previous one. You drink it once every few days, so I may not have time to send it to you."
Long Chao happily took it and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you! I know, after drinking this, I should be able to get better. I just need to be careful in the future. Thank you, Xiang Xiang."
Zhou's mother saw this and said nothing. Her little girl had really put in so much effort for her family.
Now, because of his father, he had no choice but to seek shelter from others.
I couldn't help but feel more hatred towards my father.
Zhou Xiang didn't know that her previous deliberate provocation and current unintentional behavior made her mother hate the "good father" twice as much.
If they knew, they would applaud and the more the better, so that their mother wouldn't be soft-hearted and be persuaded by a few kind words.
