The family showed off at the Zhou family's house for a while, but seeing that Zhou's wife wasn't angry at all, and that Commander Zhou still hadn't returned, they got bored and left sheepishly.
As soon as the four people left, Sister Zhou perked up and rushed out the door.
No, this "gossip" is too big for her to handle alone; she has to share it. Waiting even a minute longer would be disrespectful to the gossip.
Halfway there, they ran into Commander Zhou, who was on his way home, and Qiu Zean and Song Chunwei, who were there to freeload a meal.
When Sister-in-law Zhou saw the three of them, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to pull Commander Zhou aside:
"Come on, come on, come on, hurry home, I have something important to tell you."
Commander Zhou awkwardly pulled his arm away:
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Ze'an and Chunwei are right here!"
Sister-in-law Zhou rolled her eyes:
"What are you thinking? I really have something to tell you, and you'll never guess it!"
The three men, including Commander Zhou, were also intrigued and followed Zhou's wife home.
Sister-in-law Zhou brought out the rice that was still warm in the pot for the three of them. While eating, Commander Zhou asked:
"Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Sister-in-law Zhou is acting mysteriously:
Guess who came to visit today?
Regiment Commander Zhou showed little interest:
"Who's here? You know more people than I do every day, how am I supposed to know who it is!"
Sister-in-law Zhou reminded:
"You know, you two met through conversation, and Ze'an even knows you. Guess who it is!"
The signal was so obvious, it was practically written all over the Zhao family's foreheads.
Commander Zhou became somewhat interested and put down his chopsticks:
"Commander Zhao and his family are here? They came pretty quickly. Why didn't you call me? You should have at least entertained them."
Sister-in-law Zhou pouted:
"They're here to show off, and you're even offering them hospitality? I'm not going to be that eager!"
Commander Zhou frowned:
"Show off? Show off what?"
The child did something so shameful, what's there to brag about? This couple isn't quite normal either!
Sister-in-law Zhou continued to keep everyone in suspense:
"Guess what I'm showing off? Just so you know, Zhao Feifei and her boyfriend are here too!"
Song Chunwei was eating when he heard the news, and he spat out a mouthful of food. Fortunately, he caught it in time with his own bowl. Song Chunwei glanced at Qiu Ze'an and asked while coughing:
"Ahem, ahem, sister-in-law, who is it? Zhao Feifei brought her boyfriend. She has a boyfriend but still went to see Ze'an. Is she looking for a sucker to take over her boyfriend?"
"That doesn't make sense either. She's looking for someone to take over her business. She should have agreed to the inspection last time."
"Ah, I see. Maybe she's pregnant, but the timing doesn't match up, which is why she won't let them get checked!"
In Song Chunwei's mind, a dramatic ethical drama immediately unfolded. Looking at Qiu Zean, he felt that Qiu Zean's forehead was faintly glowing with green light!
Qiu Zean glanced at him sideways, warning Song Chunwei to take back his gloating look.
Sister-in-law Zhou laughed heartily:
"You really have a vivid imagination. No, no, I guarantee that Zhao Feifei isn't pregnant. Your sister-in-law has already had three. You can tell whether a woman is pregnant or not."
"Guess again, Zhao Feifei's boyfriend is new, this young man, uh, let's just call him young man for now, you all know him, he's from our group!"
Sister-in-law Zhou looked at the three of them with an expression that they would never expect, which piqued their interest. Commander Zhou, however, grew impatient.
"Stop keeping me in suspense! Just tell me who it is! I'm getting so impatient!"
Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't hold it in any longer either:
"Wei Yuejin, it's Wei Yuejin! Zhao Feifei and Wei Yuejin are dating, they're so lovey-dovey!"
Commander Zhou choked on his own saliva. Who? Who did he just hear?
Song Chunwei's eyes widened:
"Wei Yuejin, my goodness, how old is he again? 35 or 36? He could have given birth to Zhao Feifei if he tried so hard. Is Zhao Feifei blind?"
Qiu Zean frowned:
“I remember Wei Yuejin has a family. He asked me this year who was in charge of recruiting soldiers in our regiment. He wanted his eldest son to join the army. I remember he said his eldest son was already 16 years old!”
Sister-in-law Zhou's story is hard to explain:
“He’s divorced, but it’s not a complete divorce. He’s divorced but still lives in the same house. His ex-wife is raising three children in their rural hometown.”
"The eldest son is a girl. When his ex-wife came to make trouble the other time, the girl came along too. If I remember correctly, she's 19 years old this year."
"Didn't we agree that he would give half of his salary to the family every month and take care of the three children in the future? That's why his ex-wife agreed to the divorce. Do you remember, Lao Zhou?"
Commander Zhou thought for a moment:
"I don't remember the specifics, but he had some issues with his lifestyle, which is on the official record, so he won't be eligible for promotion in the future!"
Song Chunwei clicked his tongue in amazement:
"My God, this is unbelievable! Even if she's looking for someone to take over her boyfriend, Zhao Feifei shouldn't have chosen someone like this! What is she after?"
"Are you after his age? Or his empty pockets? Or his three kids?"
Qiu Ze'an frowned even more deeply, he was very puzzled:
"Uncle Zhao didn't object? Uncle Zhao isn't such a short-sighted person!"
Sister-in-law Zhou gloated:
"I watched coldly, and I probably didn't know anything. As soon as the whole family arrived, I heard Zhao Feifei's mother go on and on, while her father didn't say a word."
That explains it; Qiu Ze'an knew Aunt Zhao quite well.
Before Qiu's mother divorced Qiu's father, Qian Huijie always compared herself to Qiu's mother, and without saying anything, she would always make sarcastic remarks.
After Qiu's mother passed away, Qian Huijie began to pity Qiu Ze'an again.
She wasn't a bad person, just not very clear-headed, which Zhao Feifei probably inherited from her.
Commander Zhou sighed:
"This is truly a case of a woman taking charge causing the house to collapse; Commander Zhao is really failing as a husband!"
Sister-in-law Zhou squinted, looking at Commander Zhou dangerously:
"How did the house collapse when the old woman was in charge? Tell me in detail."
In his excitement, he blurted out his innermost thoughts, and Commander Zhou felt guilty:
"I just want to say, you're overthinking it. Who said anything about you?"
Commander Zhou blinked hard: Give me some face, Ze'an and Chunwei are both here!
After saying that, the group didn't take it seriously. Although Zhao Feifei had started dating, who knew if it would work out!
Zhao's father didn't see Wei Yuejin's problem at first, but he's not going to be unable to see it forever.
After all, Wei Yuejin was covered in lice, so it was easy to spot.
Who would have thought that the very next day, the four of them would be proven wrong? Commander Zhou received Wei Yuejin's marriage application early in the morning and even met Zhao Feifei's family.
