At the engagement party, Zhou Xiaohui and Zhou Ningfeng were also in the crowd.
Zhou Ningfeng followed the crowd and applauded.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaohui whispered, "Ning Feng, you should listen to your mother and find a suitable girl to settle down with."
My son is almost 30 years old, and this little girl is already engaged, so he has given up the idea.
Zhou Ningfeng had a blank expression on his face. "Let's talk about it later."
He became the department director of a research institute last year. He has been very busy with work in the past two years and has no time to take care of his children's affairs.
Zhou Xiaohui choked and angrily cursed in a low voice: "You, you useless thing, that little girl is so worthy of your concern."
Zhou Ningfeng frowned and glanced at his mother. "Can you please stop talking nonsense? I just don't want to find her. What does it have to do with others?"
It is undeniable that he liked Chu Yun at first, and even felt uncomfortable and conflicted when he saw his cousin dating her.
But as he grew up in the past two years, he had long since let go of everything and put aside his children's love, and was only focused on making a career.
Zhou Xiaohui, however, believed that her son just couldn't forget Chu Yun, so she grabbed her son's arm and whispered:
"Take advantage of this opportunity today and tell your grandfather that you want to help manage the Zhou family's business. Even if you become a small leader, it won't affect your continued research."
What she said was useless to the Zhou family, but everyone in the Zhou family liked their son and would definitely agree as long as he asked.
Outsiders see that his son is managing the Zhou family, and Zhou Yuheng is not a good businessman. Who knows, his son may be able to take on the main responsibility, and then she can choose any wife she wants.
Zhou Ningfeng's face darkened immediately, and he pushed his mother away. "That's enough, stop saying these things."
The Zhou family's things belong to the Zhou family. He just borrowed his mother's surname Zhou, but he is not as shameless as his mother to covet other people's property.
The Zhou family’s business was built by my uncle single-handedly, and has nothing to do with my mother or him, and the Zhou family doesn’t owe them anything.
Besides, he has a job he loves and earns enough money to cover his family expenses. He is very satisfied with his current life.
Zhou Xiaohui was angry when she saw her son like this, but she didn't dare to say anything.
The engagement party is coming to an end.
Zhou Pingqian announced that he would donate 30% of his property to his daughter-in-law as a betrothal gift.
When the news came out, everyone was shocked.
Zhou Xiaohui almost fainted from anger. Is this elder brother stupid? He gave the child to an outsider instead of his own family. If they divorce in the future, wouldn’t this little girl get the advantage?
Chu Yun was also a little flattered because Uncle Zhou didn't tell them in advance.
Aunt Xia only said that she bought a villa as a wedding house and a car for her to travel.
Who would have thought that there would be such a big news later.
Although the Chu couple were surprised when they heard this, they did not exaggerate too much.
Because they gave their daughter a lot of dowry, almost all the family's industries, factories and shops were under their daughter's name.
In addition, the daughter herself is capable and has a lot of wealth, so outsiders will not think that she is taking advantage of the Zhou family.
Everyone at the banquet applauded and congratulated them. Anyone could see that the Zhou family was very satisfied with their daughter-in-law.
The news spread throughout the circle the next day.
It became a hot topic in the upper circles for a while.
Zhou Xiaohui went home and couldn't sleep all night because she was so heartbroken.
After getting up, her teeth were swollen and painful, but she gritted her teeth, packed up and went to Zhou's house.
…
"Dad, after all, I am your daughter, and I also have a share of the Zhou family's property. Even if you are not confident in giving it to me, you have to keep it for Ning Feng."
Zhou Xiaohui cried and complained to Grandpa Zhou.
Old Master Zhou looked at his daughter, banged his cane on the ground, and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! How could a peasant like me have any wealth? The little salary I saved in the early years was taken away by you to support your husband's family. The money your eldest brother used to start his own business was her biological mother's dowry. What does his earnings have to do with you? How dare you say that?"
Zhou Xiaohui gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "That's better than giving it to someone else. What if Yu Heng and that Chu girl can't get along? Wouldn't that money be wasted?"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou was so angry that he stood up and waved his crutch to hit her.
"You rebellious girl! You'll say anything for money! I'll beat you to death today."
"dad!"
Zhou Xiaohui was so scared that she dodged left and right, and was finally hit on the arm. The pain made her run out the door in a hurry.
Just happened to run into Zhou Yuheng.
Zhou Xiaohui didn't even think about it. She grabbed the man's arm and said, "Your father is confused. You better not be confused. There's no reason to give away the Zhou family's property. That little girl is very cunning. Rather than being deceived by her, it's better to let your brother Ning Feng manage it."
Zhou Yuheng's eyes gradually turned cold, and he looked at the person and said, "The outsider you are talking about is my future wife. If my wife can be an outsider, then who are you?"
Zhou Xiaohui angrily pointed at him and cursed, "How dare you speak to your elders like that!"
"You are the one who is insolent! Yu Heng is right. Do you think it is your turn to speak in this family? If you don't get out of here, I will beat you to death."
Old Master Zhou's face flushed red, and he walked out angrily, holding his crutch.
"Don't hit Dad!"
Zhou Xiaohui was so scared that she staggered, went down two steps, and ran away crawling and rolling.
Zhou Yuheng stopped his grandfather and said soothingly, "Grandpa, why bother with that kind of person? Don't hurt yourself for such a worthless thing."
Old Master Zhou threw away his cane and sighed, "What a sin! How could I have given birth to such a thing!"
Zhou Ningfeng learned about this at noon. His mother kept crying and complaining about how Zhou Yuheng disrespected her and how his grandfather was partial to her.
Instead of sympathizing with his mother, Zhou Ningfeng sternly warned her.
"Mom, you'll only push grandpa and uncle further away, and I'll be further away from you."
Zhou Xiaohui angrily cursed, "I was doing this for your own good, but they were so stingy that they didn't even give you a cent of their inheritance. Who was I doing this for? And in the end, you still blame me. I'd rather die than cause you any more trouble!"
Zhou Ningfeng's hand holding the chopsticks was shaking, and the next second he slammed the chopsticks on the table.
He suddenly stood up and left.
Zhou Xiaohui was startled and quickly got up to chase after him.
"Ning Feng!"
Zhou Ningfeng walked out of the yard with his fists clenched and his eyes red.
Outsiders see him as an extrovert and active person, but who really understands him?
He grew up without a father and depended on his mother for everything, but her behavior always made him feel ashamed.
He has always been understanding of his mother's difficulties and never cares about anything, but he is extremely inferior inside.
However, as he recognized the Zhou family, the more his mother made a fuss, the more guilty he would feel in front of his grandparents and uncles.
It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but how could he leave with peace of mind when the Zhou family had refused to let his mother in for so many years?
The better his grandparents treated him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
His mother would just keep threatening him with death if he did something wrong. He was almost thirty years old, and was still bound by his mother's morality. It was really tiring.
