Granny Zhou wouldn't listen to a word Zhou Hongyu said.
Zhou Hongyu immediately went back to Shuangdong Hutong to get help, but for the time being, only the little guy could keep the old lady calm!
Before entering, Zhou Hongyu turned on the tap and wet her hands, the icy water splashing all over Chang Meiying's face.
Chang Meiying: "Ah~~"
Zhou Hongyu patted her little face and encouraged her: "Meiying! Grandma is now insisting on going to Guangdong Province to see your second aunt. She's so anxious that she can't wait for the plane, she wants to take the train! We don't know what's going on with your second uncle. Grandma can't help her or take care of her if she goes there. Go in and play the victim for Grandma, you have to make sure Grandma gives up on the idea!"
Chang Meiying's face contorted in discomfort as she tried her best!
Chang Meiying pushed open the door and ran in, immediately targeting Granny Zhou, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) smoking.
Suddenly, a small steel pipe was thrown into her arms. Granny Zhou was startled and immediately put away the pipe, pointing it fiercely at Zhou Hongyu.
Why did you call the US and UK back?
Zhou Hongyu shrank her neck guiltily. There was nothing she could do about it; you insisted on making a fuss about traveling all the way to Guangdong Province.
These old arms and legs of mine are absolutely unsuitable for this.
Chang Meiying lifted her head from her arms. Granny Zhou touched her wet little face and was startled. Before she could think about it, Chang Meiying suddenly sneezed.
One after another.
Zhou Hongyu was confused. Was it because her acting was too good, or did she really catch a cold because of that ladle of water?
Chang Meiying, her nose red, hugged Granny Zhou tightly around the waist and cried out in a tearful voice, "I feel terrible, I want Grandma!"
Granny Zhou's heart melted.
She reached out and hugged Chang Meiying tightly, glaring fiercely at the person opposite her—this troublemaker!
If Zhou Hongyu hadn't been disgusted by Mei Ying's bedwetting and thrown the child back to Shuangdong Hutong, she wouldn't have gotten sick at this time!
Granny Zhou was pacing anxiously when a knock came at the door, followed by the voice of Old Man Zhou's wife.
"Second Grandma, are you ready? I'm all packed and ready to leave for the train station!"
Zhou Laohan's wife walked in carrying a bag.
When Granny Zhou received a call from her second son in Guangdong Province during the day, Zhou Laohan's wife was at the Zhou family home, enjoying the warmth of the stove. She immediately offered to go with Granny Zhou to Guangdong Province to help out.
Granny Zhou agreed. She was getting old and lacked energy, and Old Man Zhou's wife could fill her gaps. It wouldn't hurt to take her along.
This is also why Zhou Hongyu couldn't be persuaded; Granny Zhou felt that if she brought people from her hometown, they could at least be of some help.
I didn't hear her second child crying on the other end of the phone!
When Zhou Laohan's wife saw that Zhou Pozi's luggage had not been packed yet, she clapped her hands anxiously.
"We can't afford to delay any longer; if we miss this train, we'll have to wait another five or six hours!"
Zhou Laohan's wife threw down her bag, pushed Chang Shuying aside with her buttocks, and took the initiative to help.
She kept saying that Chang Meiying shouldn't snuggle into Granny Zhou's arms and act cute at this time, because Granny Zhou still had to rush to Guangdong Province to take care of her grandson, who was much more important than her granddaughter!
Wow!
Chang Meiying suddenly burst into tears. Granny Zhou had no time to think about her second son's family in Guangdong Province. She picked up Chang Meiying and was extremely worried.
"Zhou Hongyu! You're still standing there like an idiot! Call the hospital right now and tell them to send an ambulance!"
Granny Zhou hugged Chang Meiying and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Get well soon, and when you're better, Grandma will go to Guangdong Province to see your aunt."
Chang Meiying rubbed her eyes and cried even harder.
Granny Zhou angrily pushed Zhou Hongyu into the room with the telephone.
Before leaving, Zhou Liangyu had someone install a telephone at the Zhou family home, so that he could make international calls from Japan if he missed his family.
The cost of installing a telephone line can be used to buy several more rooms.
Zhou Hongyu was itching to persuade her second sister not to waste money, but Zhou Liangyu gave her a fierce look and she immediately stopped talking, obediently looking at the phone and hanging up.
The phone rang at that very moment—
Granny Zhou comforted the wailing Chang Meiying, urging her sternly, "Hurry up and answer the phone! Perhaps your second brother's situation is even more serious!"
Zhou Hongyu hurriedly answered the phone, and a worried male voice came from the other end.
Her older brother is Zhou Shangcai!
Shen Keyi was hospitalized due to an unexpected illness, and his second brother called home crying in a panic.
It was the first time her mother had encountered something like this. It seemed that she had called her older brother in a panic while she was on her way to Shuangdong Hutong to get help.
Zhou Shangcai is a leader in the police station. The police station in Shanghai has a heavy workload, working 365 days a year without rest, and overtime is the norm. If it weren't for his sister-in-law's concern for their old relationship and her keeping the family together, he would have been all alone long ago. How could he possibly help her?
Zhou Shangcai yelled, "Hongyu! Tell Mom not to get too worked up! Your sister-in-law is coming over right away! She'll go first! I'll go over tomorrow night after I finish work! Your sister-in-law has had four children, she'll be fine with her there!"
"Your sister-in-law has also agreed that she will come back after seeing Zhongliang's baby born with her own eyes, and she will definitely not let Mom worry!"
Zhou Hongyu rubbed her temples. "If that's the case, then Mom should be worried about you!"
The sister-in-law will definitely divorce the brother after she finishes her work!
After listening at the door, Chang Shuying immediately ran back to tell Granny Zhou the good news.
Granny Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Chang Meiying, who was being held in her arms, sniffed and thought for a moment before continuing to play the pitiful card.
She remembered that her mother had said that her aunt was difficult to talk to, and that her uncle was definitely daydreaming this time!
A play cannot be performed halfway through, otherwise all the previous efforts will easily go to waste.
Old Zhou's wife stopped what she was doing, pounding her chest in frustration. If she had been a little faster, she could have gone on a trip to Guangdong with Old Zhou's wife.
I heard that Zhou Zhongliang and his concubine are both prominent figures in Guangdong Province, so going there will surely be a good time for them.
Seeing Chang Shuying run back to relay the message, Zhou Hongyu wasn't in a hurry to leave; there should be more calls coming in soon.
Ten, nine, eight...
Beep beep beep—
Zhou Hongyu counted to three again. Based on her experience, the person on the other end of the phone would start to get restless, so she answered the phone.
Sure enough, Sister-in-law Zhou, who had originally intended to be sarcastic, blurted out everything she had been holding back.
"Hongyu, I'm definitely getting a divorce! I won't say anything else, I'm not a cold-blooded animal. I've been your Zhou family's daughter-in-law for so many years. After I finish helping with this, and after Shen Keyi finishes giving birth and her postpartum period, I'll immediately go back to Shanghai and divorce your older brother!"
After all the commotion, Zhou Hongyu turned out to be the calmest one.
Zhou Hongyu dialed the phone line: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. My mother and brother acted rashly in their anxiety. They didn't mean to push the blame onto you. You and my brother can continue with your lives. I'll take care of this!"
Sister-in-law Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. It had been so difficult for them to get to this point in their decades-long marriage. She and Zhou Shang had supported each other through thick and thin and still hoped to grow old together. She didn't want a divorce.
However, she didn't want to do anything for the Zhou family, especially to put aside her pride and go to great lengths to travel thousands of miles to take care of her in-laws who could be her daughter's sister-in-law!
Why should I?!
