Chapter 236 Adoption

Nearing noon, Zhou Yusheng reluctantly went home.

As soon as I entered the house, I felt that the atmosphere was not right.

He walked into the living room and saw the whole family sitting on the sofa. He couldn't help but get nervous: "Mom, Dad, Grandma, I'm back."

"Brother, you are here too."

Zhou Jihuai nodded lazily and continued to hold the wool for Ye Qin.

Ji Diyin looked at the smugness that could not be suppressed in his little son's eyes and brows, and pressed his brows.

"Yu Sheng, have you gone to see Dai Nuan?"

"No, Mom, I went to school."

Zhou Zhanqi asked: "Have you found out your college entrance examination results?"

His voice was calm, without a trace of emotion.

Zhou Yusheng was very familiar with his father's tone and his heart skipped a beat.

"Not yet, not yet. The school hasn't issued any documents yet. I'll go and ask about it later."

"No need to ask."

Zhou Zhanqi handed over a piece of paper.

"Someone has told your family about your grades."

Zhou Yusheng took it and took a look, almost losing his balance: "Impossible!"

"If you want to repeat your studies, your parents will support you." Ji Diyin said, "But for the next year, you must cut off contact with Dai Nuan!"

"Impossible!" Zhou Yusheng refused subconsciously.

Everyone present frowned.

"Mom, I can't lose Dai Nuan."

Zhou Yusheng crumpled up his report card and said, "I won't review it. I'm going to work."

“I am an adult and can work.”

"Mom and Dad, please help me find a job. I don't want to go to college anymore."

Ji Diyin wanted to slap him when she heard that.

She resisted the urge, sat back on the sofa, and drank a few sips of water.

Zhou Zhanqi was also furious at his words: "For such a bad girl, you want to give up your bright future?"

Zhou Yusheng hesitated for a few seconds: "Dad, working part-time is also a good career."

"I'm really not good at studying. Even if I repeat my studies, I won't be able to get into a good university. It's better for me to make money early, and then..."

"What else did you say?" Ji Diyin put down the water cup heavily, "What else did you say? Will you starve to death if Dai Nuan leaves?"

Zhou Yusheng lowered his head: "She has no job, and no pocket money from her parents. She lives a very hard life."

Ji Diyin laughed: "You don't know how to find a job? If you can't find a good job, you will just lie down and let you support me. You are not even willing to ask at the job recruitment place. Do you think this is a good match?"

Zhou Yusheng raised his head suddenly: "Mom, do you know that I found a job for Nuannuan?"

Zhou Jihuai sneered: "If you don't want my parents to know, then don't use the Zhou family's name to help her get in through the back door."

People outside are not fools. How could they arrange a job for Dai Nuan based on Zhou Yusheng's words alone?

No matter who it is, they will call the Zhou family or someone who is friendly with the Zhou family to find out what they mean.

Zhou Zhanqi and Ji Diyin did not nod. Even if Zhou Yusheng was a child of the Zhou family, no one would agree to his request.

That's why Zhou Yusheng encountered difficulties everywhere when trying to find a job for Dai Nuan.

He naively thought that Dai Nuan was rejected only because she was incompetent.

Of course, it's not wrong to think so.

"Mom and Dad, I..." Zhou Yusheng's face turned pale, "I found a job for Nuannuan because..."

They knew that they had found a job for Nuannuan, so they must have known that they had always been in contact with Nuannuan.

But his parents never teach him recently.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yusheng felt a little nervous for some reason.

"Because she begged me, I, I love her, I couldn't resist her."

"..." Ji Diyin turned away his face.

"Yu Sheng, Dad will ask you again."

"Do you want a future or do you want Dai Nuan?"

The quiet living room seemed to be filled with a sense of oppression. Zhou Yusheng swallowed and tried to straighten his back.

"Dad, Nuannuan can't leave me."

Zhou Zhanqi glanced at him.

Zhou Yusheng felt something in his mind, and suddenly a sense of crisis arose behind him.

He didn't have time to think about it and said hurriedly: "Nuannuan is pregnant, I can't leave her at this time."

"If I give up her and the child to go to college, she will hate me for the rest of her life!"

Zhou Jihuai's expression finally changed.

Zhou Zhanqi, Ji Diyin and Ye Qin had the same expression as him.

Zhou Yusheng pleaded, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, Nuannuan is our first grandson. Can you accept Nuannuan for the sake of the child?"

Ji Diyin looked at him disappointedly.

"Mom, Lao Zhou, let's go to the study and talk."

Soon they walked into the study.

Zhou Jihuai slowly took off the woolen sweater on his arm, took the car keys and left.

He shouldn't be there for what happened next.

An hour later, Wen Zhile knew the gossip.

She was stunned.

"Dai Nuan is pregnant?!"

"She's a few days younger than me!"

Zhou Jihuai held her hand and walked towards the car.

"Brother, is this true?"

"It's true." Zhou Jihuai turned his head and suggested with a smile, "Zhizhi, we are dating, so don't call me brother."

Wen Zhile was stunned for a moment: "Okay."

"Ji, Ji Huai?"

The man curled his lips: "Yeah."

"There's a new restaurant in the west of the city that specializes in braised pig's trotters. Want to go check it out?"

"Okay, I didn't have enough for lunch."

"How did Uncle Zhou and Aunt Ji handle it?"

"Your brother is so brave. He did something great without saying a word."

Zhou Jihuai opened the passenger door, put his hand on her hair, watched the little girl get in, and then got in the car.

Wen Zhile was only interested in eating melons, so she followed him with her eyes.

Zhou Jihuai fastened her seat belt and said, "They were in a meeting when I left. I'll call you tonight to let you know."

"Okay, okay."

…

"Yu Sheng, Mom and Dad have something to tell you."

Ji Diyin came out of the study and opened her lips.

Zhou Yusheng thought it was about Dai Nuan, so he asked hurriedly, "You tell me."

"You came home when you were three years old, and the Zhou family raised you for fifteen years."

"For the past fifteen years, your father and I have raised you as our own child."

"Since childhood, you have had everything your elder brother has, and you also have things your elder brother doesn't have."

"Your father and I ask ourselves if we have lived up to the trust of your biological parents."

Zhou Yusheng was stunned and confused.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Zhanqi handed him two letters: "These are letters your biological parents left for you."

"You are an adult now, you should know this."

Zhou Yusheng was trembling all over and didn't have the courage to reach out.

But avoiding it was not a solution, so he finally finished reading the letter, along with the letter that his biological parents had given to the Zhou family before going to the battlefield.

I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time after watching it.

Zhou Zhanqi waited for a while before saying, "Since Dai Nuan is pregnant with your child, you should take her to meet your parents."

"Your parents' graves are in the Martyrs' Cemetery."

"Every March, your mother and I would take you to kowtow to the tomb where your biological parents were buried."

"After meeting your parents, bring Dai Nuan home."

Zhou Yusheng listened blankly without any reaction.

Half an hour later, he nodded.

Zhou Jihuai called in the evening and Wen Zhile was shocked again.

She never imagined that Zhou Yusheng was actually the adopted son of the Zhou family.

Soon, Zhou Yusheng moved out of the Zhou family.

As a last act of help, the Zhou family found him a job as a food factory worker.

When Dai Nuan found out, she felt like the sky had fallen.

She thought that the second son of the Zhou family not only failed to be admitted to Peking University, but also left the Zhou family!

"How can the food factory be better than the Zhou family? Yu Sheng, apologize to your parents and tell them that I'm not pregnant. They will feel sorry for you and will definitely let you move back."

"Just listen to me and go back to study and prepare for the college entrance exam."

"Only by going to college can you have a future!"

Zhou Yusheng hugged her: "Nuannuan, I don't want to go back."

"I want to be with you, and now no one can stop us."

"I asked around, and the wages and benefits at the food factory are quite good. I can support you."

"When next month's salary comes, I'll take you to buy new clothes!"

Dai Nuan felt dizzy after hearing this.
