When Zhou Hongyu got home from get off work, she was greeted with a feast.
Chang Hongbing and his wife bought a bunch of good food: shrimp from the market, free-range chickens from the countryside on the outskirts of the city, and braised beef that was a bestseller at the grocery store...
Chen Zhaodi, who was working in the kitchen, saw Zhou Hongyu come home from get off work and quickly ran out.
He didn't say anything, just stared intently.
Zhou Hongyu took a step back: "What are you doing!"
This isn't the Chen Zhaodi she was arguing with; something's fishy!
Chen Zhaodi asked dryly, "Is Huaying coming back tonight?"
Zhou Hongyu put down her bag: "Come back!"
Ninety percent probability.
Of course, if Chang Huaying wants to wait a few days before coming back, Zhou Hongyu will also call her back for the sake of Chang Hongbing and his wife's meal!
Fortunately, Chang Huaying returned before dinner.
Zhou Hongyu only needs to bring her bowl and chopsticks to the table to eat.
The Chang family of three were awkward and clumsy with each other, and their way of expressing love was very awkward.
Chen Zhaodi picked up a piece of shrimp with her chopsticks and put it into Chang Huaying's bowl.
Chang Huaying also put a piece of chicken on Chen Zhaodi's plate.
Chen Zhaodi smiled happily and then divided the chicken in her bowl with Chang Hongbing.
That means they've made up.
Although they were not good with words, they quickly made up with the help of a smooth talker.
Zhou Hongyu felt like cursing when she thought about how her four children were all so troublesome!
The fact that her future mother-in-law's family made outrageous demands for a house from her eldest son, Chang Pengfei, was nothing compared to Zhou Hongyu's even more troublesome second son, Chang Rihui!
Chang Rihui is exceptionally intelligent, but he squanders his talent, working only sporadically yet still managing to get first place in exams. He is quite unruly and difficult to manage.
At this moment, Granny Chang, who was eating meat, muttered, "It's almost Rihui's birthday. I wonder if he'll be home for the holiday this year."
Last year, Chang Rihui went on a huge spree for his birthday.
Last year, he had just entered a national key high school and wanted to celebrate his birthday outside with his classmates.
The budget offered was shockingly high, including visits to Western restaurants and parks, and in the end, you had to give back an exquisite and expensive little gift.
After calculating the family's finances, Zhou Hongyu refused without hesitation.
After several rounds of commotion, it was decided that Chang Rihui would take the money and go to KFC with his classmates during the day, and come back to have dinner with his family in the evening.
After his birthday, Chang Rihui started to have a long face.
Zhou Hongyu couldn't stand it; who had offended him!
The mother and son had a fight.
In short, the mother and son always have something to argue about when they get together.
Chang Rihui felt that Zhou Hongyu was too controlling.
Zhou Hongyu disliked Chang Rihui for being too troublesome.
Chang Huaying raised her head: "Second Aunt, if Rihui still wants to do what he did last year, I have friends who can help. Just ask me if you need anything!"
This time, you really can't help!
Chang Rihui, who has entered his second year of high school, is particularly rebellious. A few weeks ago, he secretly asked his homeroom teacher for a long leave of absence from school, using the excuse of going back to the countryside to take care of his sick grandmother. Now he is running a business with his younger brother and is doing very well.
He started a business this year, and money is flowing into his pocket like water. His standards have risen, and he no longer cares about last year's extravagance. This year, he's even more willing to take risks!
Zhou Hongyu's teeth feel sensitive.
Chen Zhaodi's two children are not good with words, which can be frustrating at times, but they are both soft-hearted, their emotions come and go quickly, and they make up even faster.
Of her four children, three are eloquent and difficult to deal with; one has to use every trick in the book to contend with them.
Zhou Hongyu lifted her eyelids slightly: "We'll see. If he gives instructions, we'll do as he says."
If she doesn't say a word, then she has no guilty conscience and will act as if nothing happened.
In her dream, she was busy running around, while Chang Rihui left his whole family behind and didn't come back. On his birthday, he was having a blast with a bunch of friends he'd met outside, throwing money around like crazy.
That's impressive!
A few days later, the news reached the Chang family through someone else's mouth.
The Chang family was famous among their relatives and friends. With such a capable and generous child, everyone wanted to stay in the Chang family compound and secretly learn their secrets to getting rich.
Chang Rihui is just a troublemaker!
As Chang Meiying ate the delicious meat, she quietly told Chang Shuying about her discovery that day.
"Sister, I saw my older brother at the school gate. He was selling popsicles on his bicycle. He had creamy ones and sweet ones, lots of them! But he was covering his head so I couldn't see his face, so I didn't call out to him!"
Chang Shuying was shocked to hear this; she had no idea that her older brother was running a small business in secret.
She glanced at Zhou Hongyu, not noticing their subtle actions, and then whispered a warning: "Yes, you did the right thing. Even if you know that person is Big Brother, don't call him by his name. Big Brother has a proper job. If his colleagues find out about selling popsicles, they will laugh at him!"
Chang Shuying was worried. Had her older brother really gone this far in order to buy a house and marry Minjun?
Nowadays, only unemployed people who have no job can swallow their pride and set up stalls to earn a little money, braving wind and rain.
Such people are disliked; it's shameful to have one in your family.
Chang Shuying didn't have a problem with her older brother selling popsicles; she was just worried that her mother would be furious and cause a huge uproar if she found out!
Zhou Hongyu, who was being targeted, didn't care about her eldest son or her awful in-laws at all, because someone had given her a huge problem!
*
The day after Chen Zhaodi reconciled with her youngest daughter, she couldn't stay idle.
“Hongbing, the team leader talked to me. If I can’t keep covering for her niece, she’ll find someone else. I’d rather go back to the two-shift system. One yuan a day, and I can save up for 360 days a year!”
Chang Hongbing thought to himself that Chen Zhaodi's complexion had improved a lot in the past few days after she went to work, and her arms and back no longer ached.
"Of course we can't easily put aside making money. You need to rest for a few more days, and I'll cover your shifts for the next few days!"
Chang Hongbing can handle even simple tasks like tightening screws, which require no technical skills.
Seeing that Chang Hongbing insisted, Chen Zhaodi agreed to his proposal.
Unaware of the situation, Zhou Hongyu saw Chen Zhaodi's bicycle parked in the corner of the wall in the yard before going to work the next day, and even nodded.
Hmm, not bad. After all that commotion, this is the result. An unexpected bonus.
Once their office disseminates safety precautions to the workers while they are at work, accidents can be largely prevented.
After finishing her workday, Zhou Hongyu returned home and learned from Granny Chang that Chen Zhaodi had indeed not gone, and Chang Hongbing had gone in her place!
"It's good that the eldest son's wife has taken a few days off. She doesn't take a break 360 days a year. She's rested for a few days now, and she looks much better..."
Granny Chang kept talking, but Zhou Hongyu couldn't concentrate on listening; she felt a little dizzy!
In her dream, she didn't know the exact time when Chang Hongbing's accident happened.
She was busy fighting with her eldest son's awful in-laws, causing chaos and commotion. Wu's mother's ability to throw tantrums had reached a new level. One day, during a conflict, she even staged an accident, pretending to be injured and ending up in the hospital.
Forced by circumstances, she reluctantly went to the hospital to visit Wu's mother, who was full of dramatic flair, only to learn that Chang Hongbing had been injured while performing a heroic act and was also in the hospital.
She thought Chang Hongbing had been injured in an accident and that this commotion would kill him.
It looks like this won't work; she needs to hurry up with her work!
