In fact, Shen Anan said this out of curiosity, but she didn't expect that Zhou Shouye didn't know about this at all!
"What did you say?! Xiuxiu is already married in Hecheng?"
Unbelievable!
Zhou Shouye stared at Shen Anan, his eyes almost popping out.
Shen Anan’s words were like a stone thrown into Zhou Shouye’s heart lake, stirring up a thousand waves. Zhou Shouye's face changed again and again. He didn't believe it, nor did he want to believe it. But the doubts in his heart were like a tangled mess, making him uneasy.
He turned and left the beach, walking quickly towards the residence he had arranged for Shen Xiuxiu.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Shouye asked impatiently: "Xiu Xiu, Shen Anan said that you got married in Hecheng, is this true?"
When Shen Xiuxiu heard this, her face changed.
Damn it, how come Zhou Shouye didn't cause trouble for Shen Anan, but found out about this!
She was panicking inside, but on the surface she pretended to be aggrieved: "Shouye, I...I was forced, my parents forced me to get married. My mother-in-law and husband are not good to me, you are the only one in my heart!"
Seeing Shen Xiuxiu's tearful face, Zhou Shouye felt so painful.
His voice softened unconsciously: "Xiu Xiu, why don't you get a divorce? Isn't it good to be with me?"
However, Shen Xiuxiu shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "It's not that easy to keep the business. My life in Hecheng now depends entirely on my husband's family. If I get divorced, I can't stay in Hecheng."
Zhou Shouye was even more excited after hearing this, "Xiu Xiu, then come back to Wangjiazhuang, I will support you."
But Shen Xiuxiu bit her lip, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
"Shouye, I'm not willing to go back like this. I still have a chance in Hecheng. I want to do business. If I have my own business, I can get rid of my husband's family. Don't you think so?"
Shen Xiuxiu's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Zhou Shouye with a pitiful look.
Her hand gently tugged at the corner of Zhou Shouye's clothes, and her voice was as thin as a thread: "Shouye, I really don't want to be bullied by my husband's family anymore. I want to start my own business, so that I can be more assertive. When that time comes, it will only take a word for me to file for divorce, right?"
Hearing these words and looking at her expression, Zhou Shouye knew that Shen Xiuxiu was begging him, but he was not an impulsive person, so he had to think about it.
"Xiu Xiu, you know, I can't decide this matter alone. I have to go back and discuss it with my mother." There was a hint of embarrassment in Zhou Shouye's voice.
Shen Xiuxiu was so anxious after hearing this, but she didn't dare to push too hard, so she could only nod and say, "Shouye, I understand. I won't force you. Go back and talk to your aunt. I believe she will understand."
Zhou Shouye sighed and patted Shen Xiuxiu's hand: "Xiuxiu, don't worry, I will do my best."
After settling Shen Xiuxiu, Zhou Shouye returned home with a heavy heart, as he knew he had to discuss this matter with his mother.
Although he acts very domineering outside, he has to listen to his mother in everything. His mother is a sensible person, and all the big and small things in the family have to go through her approval.
"Mom, I have something to discuss with you." Zhou Shouye stood in front of his mother, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
His mother was feeding chickens in the yard. After hearing this, she turned around and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Zhou Shouye told him everything about Shen Xiuxiu, including how she wanted to borrow money to do business in Hecheng, and how she promised to divorce him once the business was successful.
When his mother heard this, her face suddenly changed. She threw the chicken feed in her hand, pointed at Zhou Shouye and cursed: "You silly boy, do you believe what that little girl Shen Xiuxiu said? She took the betrothal gift and ran away, and now she's back to ask for money. You've been tricked by her!"
However, Zhou Shouye felt bad after hearing this, but he still insisted: "Mom, Xiuxiu has really changed. She knows she was wrong now. She wants to start her own business. I want to help her."
His mother was so angry that she stamped her feet and almost suffocated.
"You silly boy, you believe what Shen Xiuxiu said? If she really knew she was wrong, she wouldn't have run away! You still want to give her money now, are you crazy?"
Zhou Shouye felt bad after being scolded by his mother, and he was even more determined to help Shen Xiuxiu: "Mom, you don't understand Xiuxiu at all. She is a good girl. I really want to help Xiuxiu. She is in a really difficult situation now."
Looking at Zhou Shouye's determined look, his mother was so angry that she slapped him in the face.
"You silly boy, have you been bewitched by Shen Xiuxiu? I'm telling you, I don't agree with this!"
Zhou Shouye was beaten by his mother, but he still refused to give up, "Mom, I beg you, please agree!"
When his mother looked at Zhou Shouye's expression, she knew that it was useless to say anything more, so she was so angry that she kicked Zhou Shouye out of the house.
"Get out of here! Think about it carefully. Don't you know what Shen Xiuxiu has done to our family and the old Shen family? If you insist on helping Shen Xiuxiu, just treat it as if I never gave birth to you!"
After driving away her good-for-nothing son, Old Mrs. Zhou still felt aggrieved. She thought that she couldn't just let the matter go and had to talk it out with Mr. and Mrs. Shen.
Shen Xiuxiu is such a rude girl. They need to take care of this matter.
As she thought about it, she walked quickly towards Uncle Shen's house.
But as soon as he arrived at the door of Uncle Shen’s house, he ran into Shen Anan.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou was stunned. She looked Shen Anan up and down, and was confused. Why did Shen Anan's eyebrows and eyes look more and more like Grandpa Shen and his wife?
Shen Anan looked at Old Lady Zhou, feeling a little puzzled.
"Auntie Zhou, why are you here?"
Old Mrs. Zhou waved her hands, with a hint of displeasure in her tone: "I came here today to see Mr. and Mrs. Shen. Shen Xiuxiu is such an outrageous girl. After she came back to Wangjiazhuang, she not only didn't return the betrothal money, but also asked my son to pay for her business! You tell me, I have to teach them a lesson."
When Shen Anan heard this, she was very anxious. She knew that Old Lady Zhou was a straightforward person. What if she said something about Shen Xiuxiu that irritated Uncle Shen and his wife? What should she do then?
Thinking of this, she quickly stopped Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie Zhou, don't worry, I will take care of Shen Xiuxiu's matter, so don't worry about it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou looked at Shen Anan with doubt: “Are you serious? Can you really handle it?”
Don't blame her for not believing it. What kind of relationship does Shen Anan have with Uncle Shen's family? Why does she have to take all these things on herself?
"Then it's no use for you to look for Uncle Shen and his wife. They couldn't control Shen Xiuxiu before, and now they are old, they can't control her even more, right?"
When Shen Anan said this, she actually convinced Old Lady Zhou.
"So how are you going to handle this?"
