Granny Zhou has arrived.
"Mom, they're bullying me!"
Hearing Zhou Hongyu's clear and powerful voice, and seeing Zhou Pozi's gloomy face, Old Man Chang, the head of the family, instantly felt that his life was coming to an end.
He stammered, "My dear in-law, it's not what you think..."
"Oh, then tell me what it looks like!"
Granny Zhou's murderous tone terrified Old Man Chang, instantly dispelling his petty thoughts and turning him into a lamb to the slaughter.
The Chang sisters, who are usually the most talkative, were unusually quiet and wisely shrank behind Old Man Chang to hide.
Compared to Old Man Chang, those two women were actually beaten by Granny Zhou back then!
The memory was so vivid and unforgettable that he was afraid of the imposing Granny Zhou whenever he saw her.
Zhou Hongyu committed a foul! The foreign player they brought in is terrifying!
Having taken down three people just by appearing on stage, Granny Zhou then turned her gaze to Chang Guofu and Sun Yanxia.
"Chang Laosan, your second brother works hard on the frontier to contribute to the country, and this is how you treat his wife and children?"
"Aunt Zhou, I know I was wrong!"
Chang Guofu lowered his head, his face pale. In fact, unlike his father and two older sisters, he was not afraid of Granny Zhou. What he was afraid of was his second brother who lived far away on the frontier!
If he offends his second brother, his path to promotion will become much more difficult, and nothing is more important than his future.
I've said it countless times, I shouldn't have let my second brother marry this woman in the first place!
What a troublemaker! What a menace!
Old Man Chang couldn't bear to see his youngest son suffer, so he bravely stepped forward.
"My dear in-law, no matter what, it's all my fault. I haven't done my job as the head of the family properly!"
Hearing this, Granny Zhou glared at him and said, "You're not getting away with this either. You said you'd talk about it later, don't be in such a hurry!"
Old Man Chang was speechless. In recent years, Zhou Hongyu had cultivated her character and rarely caused trouble to the point that the Zhou family came to her door. He had almost forgotten about Granny Zhou's fierce nature.
Seeing this, Chang Guofu, his face turning blue, repeated the statement again.
"Aunt Zhou, I know I was wrong!"
"You know you're wrong, but I don't think so! You keep repeating the same thing over and over!"
Chang Guofu was speechless, as he had never dealt with Granny Zhou before and had no idea she was so difficult to deal with.
Sun Yanxia felt sorry for her husband and stood up to protect Chang Guofu, taking all the blame upon herself.
"Auntie, blame me if you want. It has nothing to do with Guofu. I came up with all of this myself!"
"So it's still Chang Guofu's fault!"
Granny Zhou was not easily fooled; she looked at Chang Guofu with a mocking smile.
"If he fails to raise his wife properly, schemes against his relatives, and causes unrest in the family, then it can only be Chang Guofu's fault!"
Chang Guofu's face was practically torn off and thrown on the ground to be trampled on.
Not only was Chang Guofu, the person involved, livid, but even the old man Chang couldn't help but show resentment on his face.
Granny Zhou was very satisfied. She turned her head and looked at Old Man Chang again.
"If you've done something wrong, you can't just let it go so easily, right? Otherwise, I'll seriously doubt your family's sincerity, or rather, that your family has a problem with Hongyu!"
I have opinions, but I dare not speak them, you two bullying mother and daughter—
Old Man Chang gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger: "I'll give you an explanation!"
"dad--"
The Chang sisters, who had been hiding behind Old Man Chang, finally couldn't help but jump out.
Confess? What do you mean, confess? I just want a bigger share of the money!
Then all their efforts would have been in vain, they would have been criticized, and Zhou Pozi would have had something on them!
Granny Zhou's gaze shifted indifferently over there.
The Chang sisters were immediately terrified.
It's best not to jump too high, or you might get retaliated against.
Money is important, but life is important too!
Old Man Chang, in a fit of frustration, gave orders. Upon receiving the news, Chang Hongbing and his daughter rushed back to guard the door.
"My dear in-law, let me explain in detail. Our daughters and sons are treated the same, so the Orchid sisters also have a share of this money!"
"After the four-courtyard house is sold, the money will be divided into seven parts. Each of your families will receive one part, and your mother and I will each receive one part. This time, the eldest and second wives feel they have been wronged, so let's give them the shares that your mother and I received. Is that alright?"
Old Chang presented his plan, which was slightly modified from his original plan.
The third son's family sold their house and spent a lot of money to study in Shanghai to gain experience. They needed money at that time, and the Lan Hua and Mei Hua sisters had heavy burdens. Old Man Chang originally thought that his wife's share would be divided equally between the first and second wives, and his share would be divided equally among the other three families, so that everyone would be satisfied!
Chen Zhaodi & Zhou Hongyu: Satisfied my ass!
Chen Zhaodi: The eldest son's wife was the last to find out about this news, and she was the least favored one. How dare you say that!
Zhou Hongyu: If this matter hadn't come to light, your precious youngest son would have embezzled it all. How dare you say that!
Zhou Hongyu felt that if she were any more shameless, she could completely control the emperor and make the four-courtyard house her youngest daughter's property. This house was inherited by Granny Chang from her cousin!
The third wife was so angry upon hearing this arrangement that her eyes turned red.
If it weren't for Zhou Hongyu causing trouble behind the scenes, all of this should have belonged to their third branch of the family!
One-seventh—no one could possibly want that!
The Chang sisters were also somewhat unwilling. Although the arrangement was fair and each of the married-out daughters had been thoughtfully provided with a set, they were never ones to suffer a loss. They had been competitive for decades and could not stand to see the eldest and second wives outranking them.
The Chang Lan sisters looked very unwell.
Chen Zhaodi was the only one in the room who was grinning foolishly.
She knew from the moment she married into this family that her husband, the eldest son, was the least favored.
Compared to his younger brother Chang Xingwang, who felt ashamed that he couldn't come home because he was working away from home for many years, Chang Hongbing was busy with work every day, had to take care of his family, and also had to take care of his younger brother and sister-in-law.
They bear the greatest responsibility, but receive very little in return!
Heaven has eyes! This time it's finally the eldest son's family's turn to be favored. Although it's just a side effect, it's better to have it than nothing!
At this moment, Chang Hongbing, sensing that the atmosphere had suddenly become awkward, stepped in to undermine her.
"Dad, Mom, I'm the eldest brother in the family, so I don't need my share. If my younger brother, Lan Hua, and Mei Hua's families need money, give them mine!"
Chen Zhaodi was screaming inside, her heart was bleeding.
Even if it's only one-seventh of a four-courtyard house in Houhai, it's still worth a lot of money!
Besides, how could these three companies not have money!
Chen Zhaodi glared at him with murderous intent, but Chang Hongbing remained unmoved, silently averting his gaze to avoid direct eye contact.
The Chang Lan sisters were overjoyed. As long as they weren't outdone and could gain an advantage, everything was fine!
The third wife still had a sour face and didn't care!
After collecting feedback from his children, Old Man Chang turned to look at Granny Zhou.
"My dear in-laws, what do you think of doing as the children say?"
"Are you still asleep? Do you think I'd agree?" Granny Zhou sneered.
Old Man Chang's expression changed; he was still not satisfied!
