"After Uncle Chang and A-Kuan recognized each other, A-Kuan refused to go out to work and waited for Uncle Chang to earn money to support his whole family!"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Chang was furious: "He is still his own son, blood is thicker than water, what he did was too much!"
"The third son is from out of town and doesn't have a job. How is he going to support his whole family?"
This is not about driving his youngest son, whom he has doted on since childhood, to his death.
Old Man Chang wished he could run to make a phone call right now and coax his youngest son, who was thousands of miles away, back home. In order to prevent Chang Guofu from continuing to make foolish mistakes and suffer, he was willing to risk his reputation!
As long as my youngest son is willing to come back!
Xianglan looked at Old Man Chang earnestly: "Uncle Chang seems quite happy. The woman he brought along said he felt that A-Kuan was testing him! Now Uncle Chang is working in the factory to earn money for A-Kuan to squander!"
Everyone: "..."
Even the most naive person present, Chen Zhaodi, understood one thing: one's hard-earned money should not be given to others to spend casually!
Old Chang's old headache flared up again, and he stammered, "Guofu used to be very smart..."
How did this child suddenly become so stupid? I can't even tell that he's been tricked!
Granny Chang lowered her head and remained silent. She had raised the children in the family and she understood that Chang Guofu was never a smart man!
It's mostly selfishness!
The neighbors in the alley didn't think Chang Guofu was smart either. It wasn't until Chang Guofu stayed at the university as a professor that everyone gradually changed their opinion.
Only Old Man Chang, for reasons unknown, kept praising Chang Guofu for being smart and saying he would definitely get into university in the future.
In response, Zhou Hongyu summarized: "Dad, you have a good eye for people. You always said that Uncle San was filial, and now that I see it, it's true! He's exceptionally filial!"
He would rush to give money to his biological father, who was grateful for his birth, but as for his adoptive father, Old Man Chang, who had doted on Chang Guofu since he was a child, he would at most say a few nice words.
Chen Zhaodi chuckled and burst out laughing on the spot.
Old Man Chang glared at her fiercely, while Chen Zhaodi suppressed her laughter.
Old Man Chang was pacing anxiously: "Third Brother has never been cut out for manual labor. He's only suited for office work. How could he possibly stand working in a factory? We have to call him back..."
Granny Chang interrupted, "Old man, the third son's family is having a happy reunion, why are you getting involved!"
Old Man Chang got angry: "The child doesn't understand the intricacies of this, but you don't! It's obvious that the third son has been deceived!"
Zhou Hongyu laughed and said, "Third Uncle is happy with it! After all, no matter what, a biological son is always better!"
Old Man Chang gasped as he was pricked, and Zhou Hongyu clearly pointed out where he couldn't stand the most!
Old Chang had a terrible headache and didn't want to talk. He pressed his temples and said he was going back to his room to rest: "Don't call me for dinner..."
Chen Zhaodi spoke quickly and bluntly: "Dad, you're such a strange person. Xianglan said she was going to treat everyone to dinner at a hotel, and you even said you didn't need to be invited for dinner! There was no need to invite you in the first place!"
Old Man Chang was so angry at his daughter-in-law for not understanding his feelings that he clutched his chest. What a scoundrel!
Old Man Chang said in a huff, "Xianglan, don't invite Hongbing's wife to dinner at the hotel today! She doesn't need her!"
That's a fancy meal at a hotel, why wouldn't she need that!
Chen Zhaodi hurriedly defended herself: "Dad, don't talk nonsense, I'm definitely going..."
Before Xianglan left, Zhou Hongyu asked her for Chang Guofu's address.
Who knows when Sun Yanxia will come out? Given her personality, if she can't find Chang Guofu, she'll probably cause trouble for the Chang family.
Zhou Hongyu felt that she was a really good person, and had already started preparing for Sun Yanxia!

In a small mountain village, Chef Qiao from the machinery factory kowtowed several times to an ancient cenotaph.
"Mom and Dad, my wife, I've found our child! Rest in peace now! I will stay by her side forever!"
Several firecrackers went off, and when the village cowherds looked up, they saw a figure carrying a bag walking towards the road in the distance.
"De Cai's son! I haven't seen him for so many years, I thought he was already in his grave, I didn't expect him to be alive and well!"
The old man standing next to the cowherd sighed, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"He's about the same age as your grandfather, but unfortunately, he accumulated wealth all his life without any descendants. I heard that when he was young, he used his good looks to seduce a rich girl, but it didn't work out. The girl sent him back a daughter, but he wasn't there at the time. His only daughter was thrown away by his uncles as a worthless burden!"
The cowherd sniffled, "Grandpa, when he gave me candy, he said he was going to find his daughter!"
The old man scoffed, "What daughter did he have? She's probably not far from death; she's already having a fit of hysteria!"

Zhou Hongyu has been sneezing inexplicably lately, but she has done a great job of keeping warm, so she can't figure out why.
During dinner at home that evening, Zhou Hongyu brought up the matter, and Grandma Zhou shook her head with a smile.
"I'm afraid your biological father, who lives far away, misses you terribly!"
"Mom!" Zhou Hongyu looked unhappy.
The origin of joking about Zhou Hongyu's biological father is that someone once said that Zhou Hongyu was adopted. Zhou's mother-in-law neither argued nor made a fuss, but simply admitted it and would occasionally bring it up as a joke.
Granny Zhou's dismissive attitude left those who had initially believed in the matter completely bewildered.
So, does this mean Zhou Hongyu is their biological daughter?
Zhou Hongyu firmly believed that she was her biological daughter, and she never doubted that she was not her mother and father's most precious youngest daughter!
Look how much her personality resembles her mother's!
Those who make up baseless accusations that she was adopted are shameless!
Zhou Hongyu assumed that the people who said these things were unable to withstand her mother's tyranny and were spreading rumors about her mother's most precious youngest daughter.
That day, Granny Chang asked Zhou Hongyu to go home because Chef Qiao, who had rented the backyard of the Chang family, insisted on signing a contract with the Chang family and demanded that the smartest person in the Chang family sign it.
Grandma Chang spoke kindly on the other end of the phone: "Your dad thinks he's the smartest. He didn't tell anyone, he just went and signed it, and then he got into trouble..."
Old Chang snatched the phone: "Xingwang's wife, come back quickly! The factory is a real scourge! They dumped such a menace into our home! Chef Qiao said that as long as I sign the contract, I have to pay him compensation no matter what!"
“I rented the house to him, and I haven’t even collected the rent or utility bills yet, but he’s demanding that I pay him compensation!”
Old Chang was so bullied that he wanted to smash the newly built stove in the backyard. In the end, looking at Chef Qiao's strong and powerful apprentices and their descendants, he cowardly agreed to go back and find a solution.
After hearing all this, Zhou Hongyu just wanted to follow the phone line and give Old Man Chang a good whack on the head. This self-righteous old man has messed up!
"Dad, didn't you even glance at the contract before you signed it?"
What's going on? We're losing money before we've even started earning rent!
"I only signed whatever Qiao offered because of the factory leaders. How was I supposed to know that Qiao had ulterior motives!"
Old Man Chang pleaded, "Xingwang's wife, you're the smartest person in our family! Come back and help! Judging from Qiao's attitude, if this matter isn't resolved peacefully, he might try to take our house! He's not here to rent; he's here to steal it!"
