"Why does Sun Yanxia have such a sour face? She won't even acknowledge us when we greet her. What does she mean by that?"
Not long after Sun Yanxia left, Chang Hongbing and his wife returned from outside, and Chen Zhaodi immediately complained to her parents-in-law.
Granny Chang grabbed a bowl and chopsticks and ran to the kitchen. She was terrified whenever she heard about such things!
Old Man Chang chuckled and said, "She didn't hear me clearly, did she? So young and already deaf!"
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
After Zhou Hongyu finished showering and was hanging towels to dry in the yard, Chen Zhaodi came over to ask what was going on.
"Hey, what's going on tonight? Sun Yanxia actually dared to step into Shuangdong Hutong, but she went back with a sour face. What did someone do to her?"
Zhou Hongyu shook the towel and asked her first, "Why did you come back so early? Did the shaman stop praying?"
The Chen family was quite superstitious. Knowing that their son-in-law had almost gotten into trouble, they immediately sent someone to tell Chen Zhaodi to take Chang Hongbing back home for a few days to have a shaman perform rituals to ward off bad luck.
Chen Zhaodi turned her face away awkwardly. Of course, something unpleasant must have happened for her to come back early!
"Why bring this up? Let's talk about Sun Yanxia!"
Zhou Hongyu smiled knowingly.
"What's there to say about Sun Yanxia? She came back specifically to persuade us to spend money on renovating the house, but her scheme failed, so of course she's angry!"
"ah?"
Sun Yanxia has once again crossed the line, and Chen Zhaodi is indignant.
"How dare Sun Yanxia! She doesn't even live at home, yet she comes back to trick me into spending money on renovations. Does she have a construction business now, trying to make a quick buck?"
Zhou Hongyu sneered: "Who said she wouldn't live at home? Chang Guofu hasn't even raised enough money for his tuition yet. I heard from my parents that the tuition is about 20,000 yuan. I bet Sun Yanxia will sell the apartment allocated to her by her work unit in order to raise the money, and then bring her whole family back to live here!"
"Sell the house!" Chen Zhaodi covered her face in shock.
When Chang Guofu was assigned a house at the school, many people were envious and jealous, and even the two of them couldn't help but say something sarcastic.
Would Sun Yanxia really be willing to sell a house like this?
Chen Zhaodi's job has always been manual labor, tightening screws. She doesn't understand why the third son and his wife have to sell their house to pay for their tuition to continue their studies. Selling a house is no small matter!
If she had such a house, she would leave it to her son when he gets married in the future. She would never sell the house to attend that damn continuing education class. She feels that the thing is a scam!
Chen Zhaodi: "Hey, do you think that training course is a scam? Maybe the third brother's family will sell their house and pay the tuition before they find out it's fake..."
She couldn't stop laughing at the thought.
Zhou Hongyu saw through her little scheme: "What are you thinking? The third brother and his wife are both very shrewd. Even if they tried to fool us, they wouldn't be fooled. This must be true!"
She knew that even though most people thought selling the house to go on further studies was a foolish gamble, the third son and his wife had made the right bet!
After completing his advanced studies, Chang Guofu rose through the ranks at lightning speed, becoming the youngest university president in Beijing.
Compared to the miserable state of the first and second wives at that time, the third wife was like a phoenix soaring to the sky, ruthlessly trampling the other two families under her feet. Sun Yanxia was extremely proud!
Zhou Hongyu patted Chen Zhaodi on the shoulder: "If you want to be happy, you can't wait for others to make mistakes and gloat. You have to fight for yourself!"
Chen Zhaodi was stunned as she looked at Zhou Hongyu, who was uttering profound teachings.
She felt that Zhou Hongyu had changed. Zhou Hongyu shouldn't have listened to her and joined in mocking the third brother and his wife for their stupid decision to sell the house.
Zhou Hongyu seems to have gotten a brain!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhaodi looked terrified.
Seeing that Zhou Hongyu was about to take her things back to her room, Chen Zhaodi quickly called her back.
"Hey, Zhou Hongyu, do you need to borrow some money?"
Zhou Hongyu was taken aback, then pointed at Chen Zhaodi and laughed: "Hahaha, I guessed right, your family didn't send you home with your older brother to bring bad luck, they sent you to pay them off!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaodi became furious: "Hey, Zhou Hongyu, what do you mean? How can you talk like that? My family never wanted our money!"
"Really? How much less money did you bring this time?"
Chen Zhaodi remained silent for a while before replying, "Fifty yuan."
Zhou Hongyu: "Hahaha—"
After laughing, Zhou Hongyu clapped her hands and prepared to leave: "I don't need to borrow money for the time being. If you want to borrow money, go find someone else."
She would not agree to the Wu family's conditions.
If the money was borrowed in the name of the second wife to buy a house, but the house ended up in the hands of the Wu family, and in the end the money was repaid by her and Chang Xingwang, then what's the point of her borrowing it?
If her eldest son wants to marry the Wu family's daughter, then he'll have to rely on his own abilities!
Chen Zhaodi called out anxiously from behind, "Zhou Hongyu, why don't you want my money? Aren't you going to buy a house for your son?"
Chen Zhaodi was tricked into going back to her parents' home, where she was surrounded by people of all ages who demanded money from her. Terrified, she quickly came up with an excuse and ran back home.
When she got back, she was thinking of lending the money to Zhou Hongyu as soon as possible, so that when her family came to her door, she could tell them what had happened. She knew that if she didn't have any money, everything would be fine.
If Zhou Hongyu knew about her wild ideas, she would definitely laugh herself to death.
The Chen family wanted money, so how could they give up just because the money wasn't in Chen Zhaodi's hands? In the dream, when the Chen family found out that Chen Zhaodi had lent money to the second wife, they went crazy and made a huge fuss.
Seeing her chasing after her from behind, Zhou Hongyu stopped and turned to face Chen Zhaodi: "The money is yours. If you don't want to lend it, just say you were swindled out of all the money by some rich people, and then cry poverty to them!"
It's not a big deal.
Chen Zhaodi hesitated: "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to tell my family? But I haven't been scammed out of my money."
