Meeting such an oddball as you is something our family will never forget!
Zhou Hongyu cursed inwardly.
Lu Manman's sister-in-law, Zhou Hongyu's second brother's first love, Chen Qiuxia—
Zhou Hongyu sometimes couldn't understand what Chen Qiuxia was thinking!
She should have been prepared to face a new life when she chose to break up and get married. If you say she was reluctant, she gave birth to a child in the first year and had three children in five years.
Despite being a mother of three, Chen Qiuxia still boldly pursued love, making the Lu family a laughing stock. The Lu family even instructed Lu's eldest brother to keep a close eye on her at all times to avoid making a fool of himself.
Zhou Zhongliang was young and impetuous at the time, believing that true love was paramount and that lovers would eventually be united. He thought that once Chen Qiuxia was freed from her suffering, the two lovers could be reunited.
Year after year passed, and Chen Qiuxia had three children, yet she still expressed her love for him. He finally realized what was going on, made a painful decision, and embraced a new life.
However, whenever a female friend appears in his life, Chen Qiuxia will use the name of her first love to scare away the women around Zhou Zhongliang.
Chen Qiuxia said with shame, "Hongyu, Manman has been mentioning you a lot at home lately, and it makes me very sad. I know you were spoiled by your family growing up. Manman has a bad personality and no friends. You're not befriending Manman because of me, are you?"
Zhou Hongyu: "..."
Zhou Hongyu raised her hand, her tone firm: "You don't need to overthink it. It has nothing to do with you. Putting aside your identity, Manman and I can still be friends!"
Chen Qiuxia didn't believe it; she was convinced that Zhou Hongyu did this because Zhou Zhongliang still cared about her.
Zhou Hongyu didn't want to continue talking to her, so she raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
"Is there anything else? I'm in a hurry!"
Chen Qiuxia smiled gently and harmlessly: "Hongyu, didn't Zhongliang say he was going to be transferred back to Beijing? Why have we suddenly lost contact with him? Did something happen to him?"
She spoke frankly: "If you need anything, come to me. I'll pull some strings for him. I know your family's situation. Your aunt will definitely stay in Beijing to retire, so your second brother has to come back!"
Therefore, Zhou Zhongliang will never escape her grasp in this lifetime!
Chen Qiuxia was very confident that Zhou Zhongliang would return to her.
Zhou Hongyu frowned, about to tell the truth, but then she saw Zhou Hongyu's expression change on the spot. In hindsight, she almost got led astray by Zhou Hongyu.
Chen Qiuxia is a real troublemaker; it's best not to cause any trouble for my second brother.
No matter what, she had to hold it in until her nephew was born safely.
Zhou Hongyu replied casually, "Maybe. My second brother has always been a very filial son. He probably wants to come back and take care of our mother in her old age. He never tells me about his work troubles. Sister Qiuxia, you can ask him yourself when you have time!"
Hearing her say that Zhou Zhongliang was a very filial son, Chen Qiuxia's smile faded a bit.
Granny Zhou is so annoying!
The old witch forced Zhou Zhongliang to leave the capital and start over, separating the two lovers by thousands of miles, which allowed a woman from another place to take advantage of the situation!
Chen Qiuxia was thinking of saying something more to Zhou Hongyu.
As Lu's mother was talking to her in-laws, she turned her head and saw this scene in the corner, and immediately gave her son a wink.
"Qiuxia, don't forget that our daughter has to go to dance class with her teacher later!"
Brother Lu walked over quickly and put his arm around Chen Qiuxia's waist.
Out of habit, Chen Qiuxia smiled and shook his hand back.
Judging from this, the couple's relationship should be good. Therefore, Chen Qiuxia plans to have one at home and one outside, and it would be best if her second brother would stay with her for life!
Zhou Hongyu raised an eyebrow and made an excuse to leave.
Chen Qiuxia raised her hand to call out to her, but Brother Lu pressed her hand down.
"Qiuxia, Mom wants you to go over and have a chat with Manman's in-laws."
"good!"
Chen Qiuxia withdrew her gaze, a barely perceptible hint of resentment hidden in her eyes.
A few days later, Shen Keyi took a letter from the capital city, which smelled of peach blossoms, home from the mailbox with a displeased expression.
Seeing this familiar scene, Zhou Zhongliang felt a headache coming on. It was happening again!
Zhou Zhongliang raised his hands in surrender: "I was a fool for a while before, and I haven't had any contact with her since. If you don't believe me, open the letter and see for yourself!"
Shen Keyi snorted coldly, displaying her petty nature: "Then I'll give you a proper look!"
Zhou Zhongliang was covered in sweat. Although he ignored Chen Qiuxia, she seemed to be immersed in her own world, always boldly expressing her love in her letters.
Shen Keyi read the beginning, laughed angrily, and threw the letter at him: "Keep your precious letter safe, it's full of veiled insults against your little sister, be careful your mother finds out!"
Zhou Zhongliang was so frightened that he picked it up from the ground. When he looked at it, it was indeed like that. Oh my god!
You absolutely mustn't let his mother know!
"Wife, you be my witness, she wrote this in a fit of madness, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Hmph, let's see how you perform!"
"Wife~"
Back to that night, Zhou Hongyu had no idea that a few days later, a letter containing veiled insults about her would add a little fun to her second brother and his wife's relationship.
Only when she is injured can the world be achieved.
After enjoying a hearty engagement banquet, Zhou Hongyu returned to Shuangdong Hutong to pick up her child.
Stepping into her home, she immediately noticed something unusual about the day.
It's a once-in-a-century sight to see Chang Hongbing and his daughter at home.
The kitchen was bustling with activity as the women of the house were busy preparing various dishes.
Seeing Chang Guofu sitting in the yard, Zhou Hongyu understood the reason for the unusual situation. Oh, the family's precious baby has returned!
"Second sister-in-law, you're back!"
Sun Yanxia wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen with a smug look on her face. With this protective charm, Zhou Hongyu couldn't hit her whenever she wanted.
Zhou Hongyu nodded slightly. She couldn't hit her, but she was too lazy to talk to her.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. When Granny Chang heard Zhou Hongyu looking for someone, she paused for a moment and looked up.
"Isn't Mei-Ying right outside? She and Ji-Zong are having a great time!"
But there's no one in the yard!
Zhou Hongyu: "Then I'll go look in the alley!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Liu Pozi’s earth-shattering curses came from the direction of the public toilet.
"You wretched little brat from the Chang family! You've come to my doorstep to commit a crime!"
Chang Meiying screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! Third Uncle and Third Aunt, Brother Jizong is going to get beaten—"
Upon hearing the noise, the Chang family immediately ran out.
Zhou Hongyu glanced at Chen Zhaodi, who was standing by the iron pot stewing pig's feet.
Are you going or not?
"I'm not going!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded slightly and headed toward the source of the noise.
As soon as they arrived, Chang Meiying saw her and immediately ran over to hide behind her, panicking, "Mom, save me!"
Granny Chang walked over, holding a small papaya about the length of her arm, and tried to look angry: "Meiying, come out here!"
Chang Meiying kept hiding behind Zhou Hongyu. When Zhou Hongyu looked up, she saw Granny Liu striding towards her, staring at a smelly, unidentified object.
Granny Chang threw away the small wooden stick and instinctively stood in front of it.
"Granny Liu, let's talk this out. She's just a child..."
Zhou Hongyu's lips twitched. How could such an outrageous remark come from her mother-in-law? Even an honest person like her had been driven to this point.
Zhou Hongyu reached out and pulled out the little figure hiding behind her. The dragon roared, "Chang Meiying—"
Look what you've done!
