The courtyard temporarily returned to peace.
"I heard that you beat up Meimei's mother who came to cause trouble this morning, and she ran away without even looking back. Great, my daughter-in-law is really good at fighting!"
"How do you know so clearly? Who told you?"
Zhou Xingze deliberately whetted someone's appetite, smiled simply without saying anything, and sat down on the chair.
"It's your mom, isn't it?"
Meimei and her husband would not be so stupid as to treat this matter as a joke and repeat it to him again.
Sister-in-law, Zhou Jingjing was not at home all day.
My mother-in-law was the only one who knew the truth that happened this morning.
Ruan Xiaotang found it hard to imagine what tone her mother-in-law, who had always disliked her, used when she spoke to her son. It didn't sound like praise.
"Ice smart!"
Ruan Xiaotang curled her lips.
This is as much of an exaggeration as farting.
Extremely perfunctory.
She turned over angrily and faced him with her back mercilessly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Xingze hurried over.
His stern face was covered with a flattering smile, and he stretched his neck in a servile manner and moved his face closer.
"Oh, what's the matter? Mom has praised you. I promise you that this time mom is praising you from the bottom of her heart. How can you not be happy after being praised?"
"I'm not unhappy, and I don't need your mother's praise to prove anything. Even if it was someone else today, I would stand up like this. Just save yourself the trouble and stop flattering us. I can't bear it."
You speak so seriously and say you are not angry. You are kidding.
Regardless of anything, he pulled his wife's little hands over, placed them in his palms, and rubbed them repeatedly.
"Let go, I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
"Can you sleep peacefully without lying in my arms?"
"I'm not a three-year-old kid, get out of the way, it's hot!"
"I won't, I won't!"
Ruan Xiaotang turned sideways, her eyebrows raised, and looked at him with an irritated look.
I don't know why, but I'm not in a good mood today.
I feel inexplicably irritated.
I just want to get angry for no reason, or even curse at people.
In order to divert his attention and to have some peace and quiet, she couldn't help but tell him in advance what she had seen and heard while following Zhou Jingjing today.
Originally, she didn't intend to meddle in other people's business anymore.
"Your sister didn't go to work today. I guess she spent the whole day hanging out with that Zhao Xiaohu."
"What? Didn't she say yesterday that she and Zhao Xiaohu were just trying to get together? How...she is lying to us. This silly girl."
Zhou Xingze's brows instantly twisted into a knot.
This spark seems to be spreading like wildfire.
It may soon become uncontrollable.
He got up quickly and left the house.
Humph, you're quite anxious.
………………
"You came home so late. Who did you go with and where did you go? You even learned to lie to your family for that little rascal. You are really capable."
"Second brother, why are you waiting for me here?"
Even in the dim light, Zhou Jingjing could tell that her second brother was very angry at the moment.
The muscles on his face became rigid with anger.
He seemed to know something, but I don't know if he told my mother.
I was so flustered.
Feeling guilty, he lowered his head and walked into the yard.
She just didn't say anything.
I would rather die than tell the truth.
They couldn't do anything to her.
"Where are you in such a hurry to go?"
This sound.
As soon as Zhou Jingjing raised her head, she was panickedly bumped into Zhou's mother's sharp eyes. That look seemed to be able to penetrate her chest and analyze every little thought in her heart without leaving any residue.
My heart was skipping a beat.
It's over.
She's finished.
“I, I…”
"Come and sit down, let's have a heart-to-heart talk tonight."
Is it heart-to-heart talk?
Or cut out the heart?
Zhou Jingjing sat on the stone bench in fear.
His eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look his mother in the eye.
Every second you can delay the next storm is a second you save.
"Tell me, what is it about Zhao Xiaohu that attracts you so much that you would take time off for no reason to hang out with him for the entire day!"
"Mom, I..."
How did she know so clearly? She took a day off today to be with Zhao Xiaohu.
Zhou Jingjing racked her brains but couldn't figure out how her mother, who seldom even left the house, knew all the details.
It's unbelievable.
"What do you mean, tell the truth!"
Seeing her hesitating and trying to make up a lie to deceive her, Zhou's mother was furious.
He swung his cane and slammed it hard on the marble table.
Zhou Jingjing's heart was trembling from the beating.
She raised her eyes in grievance and choked up, "We, we have been dating for a while, we really like each other, and we want to get married, mom, please help us."
Zhou Jingjing knelt on the ground with tears streaming down her face, her face buried in her knees, and her hands tightly hugged her mother's calves.
Seeing her begging me so humbly.
This was not in line with her usual temperament.
There must be something fishy going on here.
Mother Zhou stiffened her neck, thought for a while, and then asked that question very reluctantly.
A matter of life and death for a woman.
"How far has it progressed? Tell me quickly."
She was so afraid that what she admitted would overlap with what she expected.
But deep down there is still a glimmer of hope, and she will say it herself: no.
Mother Zhou's hands were tightly twisted together.
A complex emotion of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
