After being beaten, the old village chief kicked Zhou Fumei to the ground and vented his anger by kicking her several more times.
"Look, look! I'm going to look right now! What's wrong with you?!"
After saying that, he put on his coat and went out.
Sitting on the ground, Zhou Fumei wailed and cursed, lamenting that she had committed a terrible sin in her past life by marrying into the Zhou family and becoming a member of the Zhou clan...
The old village chief went out and came back to confirm that Zhou Liangyu had really left!
When Zhou Fumei saw him walk into the house, she burst into tears, sobbing loudly.
The old village chief went up and slapped Zhou Fumei several times, leaving her completely stunned.
Zhou Fumei covered her face and wailed, "Why did you hit me!"
The old village chief cursed, "Fuck your mother! You still have the nerve to ask! Damn it! Why didn't you come back to tell me when Zhou Liangyu left! I could have made sure they didn't step out of Zhoujia Village!"
Turning the tables on someone else.
Zhou Fumei was stunned. After realizing what had happened, she threw a tantrum, rolling on the ground: "My God, I don't want to live anymore! That Zhou guy is driving me to my death..."
"Smack!"
"Slap! Slap!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Zhou Fumei, her face swollen, shut her mouth, not daring to utter a single sound.
The old village chief flew into a rage, smashing things and demanding of Zhou Fumei, "I haven't left the house these past few days, and you've been wandering around outside! Tell me! Where did Zhou Liangyu go?!"
Zhou Fumei, her nose running, was terrified and frantically searched for an answer: "Maybe they went back to the Northwest..."
The old village chief's sinister eyes swept over them: "You don't know!"
It's as if if you dare to agree, they could tear you apart in the next second.
Zhou Fumei wiped her nose and got up: "It was Zhou Laohan's wife who told me that Zhou Liangyu was gone. She must know!"
"Then hurry up and go!"
The two men went to ambush Zhou Laohan's wife, but by sheer coincidence, they ran into her coming back from the toilet and blocked her on the road.
When Zhou Laohan's wife saw them, she immediately realized that she had let something slip!
Zhou Fumei took a big step forward and bumped into someone with her chest: "Don't tell me you don't know! I'm asking you, where did Zhou Liangyu go!"
The shadows of the past resurfaced. When the old village chief was still in power, this family was incredibly domineering. Zhou Laohan's wife swallowed hard.
She stammered, "...Liben? A Japanese? I really don't know!"
She had overheard all of this, and couldn't help but tell Zhou Fumei about it when she saw her.
Ever since Zhou Liangyu returned home, these two have been sneaking around the Zhou family's neighborhood, leading many to speculate that it's because of what happened back then.
They might be waiting for Granny Zhou to give them a way out, how shameless!
The old village chief and Zhou Fumei exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
It's Japan!
Ordinary people might misunderstand, but they are different; they know about Japan.
The eldest daughter, Zhou Jinyu, went abroad with a work group in the early 1980s. Before returning to China, she could not be found and was living illegally in Japan. In recent years, as the situation has improved, she has started sending money home. With this money, they bought their son a wedding house in the city, a motorcycle, and also built a spacious four-story villa in the village.
A while ago, the son and daughter-in-law were discussing writing a letter to Zhou Jinyu asking for more money, as the young couple wanted to buy a new car...
The person who vouched for Zhou Jinyu and recommended her to accompany the working group on their overseas visit was none other than Zhou Liangyu, who was at the height of his fame!
Upon learning this shocking news, the two simply left Zhou Laohan's wife behind and went home to discuss countermeasures.
Whether Zhou Liangyu left or not is no longer important; the key point is that Zhou Liangyu actually went to Japan!
Zhou Fumei felt it necessary to cause a scene at the Zhou family home.
"Japan! Granny Zhou still has the nerve to say she hates Japan the most! Back then, after the Jin Yu incident, she directly threatened to sever ties with our family! Well, now that she knows she can make a lot of money in Japan, Zhou Liangyu wants to go to Japan too!"
Japan is a land of good fortune, and after only a few years there, the eldest daughter, Zhou Jinyu, was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, constantly sending money home.
Zhou Liangyu is a very promising talent among the next generation of the Zhou family. Zhou Liangyu will definitely earn more money in Japan. Zhou Fumei has a premonition that her sense of superiority will soon be lost.
The old village chief spat out a mouthful of phlegm: "What a pretentious fellow! Back then, they wouldn't let Jin Yu go, but now her daughter is going too!"
Zhou Fumei stirred up trouble: "That's not all! Granny Zhou has never treated us like family. Do you know that wild child Granny Zhou picked up, Zhou Hongyu, is going to build a five-story villa in the village!"
Although the old village chief has lost his position, his family's living conditions are far superior to those of other villagers because Zhou Jinyu has been sending money home like crazy in recent years. As a result, many relatives of village officials still come to visit him.
Zhou Fumei heard the news that Zhou Hongyu was going to build a five-story villa from the wife of another village cadre.
The old village chief snorted heavily: "Build a five-story villa? If Zhou Hongyu is so capable, she should build a grand mansion!"
The old village chief's house has the tallest building in the village, a three-and-a-half-story villa, which is known to outsiders as a four-story villa.
Zhou Hongyu wanted to build a five-story villa, no more and no less, but one story longer than the tallest building in the village at present, which was a slap in the face to him.
The old village chief waved his hand and said, "I'm not quite dead yet. Zhou Hongyu will have to get past me if she wants to build a five-story villa!"
*
With the garment factory no longer having any worries, Zhou Hongyu was happy for several days in a row.
So, when someone tried to provoke her while she was happy, Zhou Hongyu became extremely angry.
Ning's uncle's construction team suddenly notified her that construction on the site, which had only completed the second floor but not yet topped out, could not proceed for the time being.
Zhou Hongyu hung up the phone and rushed to the construction site. She returned faster than a rocket. When she arrived, the troublemakers were still there!
Zhang Dalong, the nephew of the village party secretary's wife, is a clerk in the town, usually in charge of trivial matters.
I don't know what possessed Zhang Dalong today, he's causing trouble for Zhou Hongyu!
When Zhang Dalong saw Zhou Hongyu suddenly appear, he was so frightened that he quickly covered his face with his sleeve.
You can't see me! You can't see me!
Zhou Hongyu stepped forward, ripped off her fig leaf, and glared angrily: "You're the one who caused me trouble!"
No!
Zhang Dalong firmly denied it, saying it was a work arrangement and that even if Zhou Hongyu was Zhou Pozi's daughter, it wouldn't violate his work principles.
Ptooey! Ptooey!
Zhou Hongyu spat at him several times: "Work principles? There are still things on our construction site that don't follow the rules, tell me!"
Granny Zhou is very particular about rules and regulations. You can trust her to do things properly; you can't find a single mistake.
So this is because my butt is too itchy, and I'm just making trouble for myself!
Zhang Dalong shouted in a loud voice, "Hongyu, stop making excuses. Even if your mother comes to plead for you, it won't make a difference. Rules are rules. You've already moved your household registration to your husband's family in the city. You still want to go back to the countryside to build a house!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers who had originally intended to advise Zhang Dalong to cherish his life all nodded in agreement.
Times have changed; we must follow the rules.
Even though Zhou Hongyu was allocated a plot of land through the domineering Granny Zhou, she still couldn't build a house. Granny Zhou hadn't expected this.
So, the house that Zhou Hongyu was building was only halfway through...
Someone in the crowd immediately made an offer: "Hongyu, sell the house to me for a lower price! If no one else is willing to take it, and your house can't be built, you'll definitely lose everything!"
