"Shall I solve this for you?" Chang Xingwang asked.
"No need!" Zhou Hongyu rubbed her temples in discomfort. He was just a son-in-law; after all, her siblings were ahead of her in line.
Chang Xingwang's eyes showed worry, but he dared not openly disobey Zhou Hongyu's orders.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Call me if you need help!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded vigorously. Of course, she would never force herself to suffer without a reason!
Of the siblings, the eldest brother was immediately dismissed; he was a complete idiot.
He's too busy with work to handle things, so he always hands them over to his sister-in-law.
After Zhou Shangcai was demobilized, he lived near his wife's parents' home and treated them like his own parents. He was rigid and inflexible, subconsciously believing that his wife should treat him the same way. In reality, there are very few people in the world who can do what he does.
Zhou Hongyu didn't want her elder brother's family to tear off their last veil of pretense and cause a huge uproar.
My second sister also passed on the idea; she's far away in a foreign country, so it's best not to let these worries bother her.
In the end, only the second brother was left!
Zhou Hongyu composed herself. She had a good relationship with her second brother, and it was easy for them to communicate. So, she decided to make the arrangement this way.
Zhou Hongyu went to the study to call Zhou Zhongliang, who was far away in Guangdong Province. Coincidentally, Zhou Zhongliang also had something to tell her.
Zhou Zhongliang: "...Hongyu, you can talk about it later. I have something urgent to report to you!"
Zhou Hongyu sensed something was wrong: "What?"
Zhou Zhongliang said in a deep voice: "Your eldest son's master took my son back to the capital to raise him!"
Zhou Hongyu: "..."
She counted on her fingers and realized that her second brother's son was, in theory, still a baby who hadn't been weaned!
When he noticed there was no sound on the other end of the phone, Zhou Zhongliang touched his nose guiltily.
“Hongyu, did your second brother cause you any trouble? Your second sister-in-law and I were just too busy, and Uncle Qiao was in a hurry to return to the capital, so we had no choice but to agree to let him take the child back. You know that Uncle Qiao has been taking care of the child since he was born!”
To put it another way, the kids prefer Chef Joe.
Zhou Hongyu remained silent. She was truly speechless at this moment; who could understand?
After a long silence, Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but yell, "Second brother, since the child was born, have either of you taken care of him properly for even a single day?"
Now it was Zhou Zhongliang's turn to fall silent.
Shen Keyi almost miscarried during her pregnancy because of her family's troubles. After giving birth, she handed the child over to a trustworthy person and immediately went back to wreak havoc. Now she's causing quite a stir.
Zhou Zhongliang was initially quite well-behaved as a first-time parent, diligently following the scientific knowledge in books to care for his child. However, he later discovered that he was no match for Chef Qiao, who was skilled in both theory and practice and could readily provide expert advice. As a result, he gradually returned to work, since Chef Qiao always seemed to be able to take good care of the child.
Chef Qiao has no complaints that his children are closer to him.
Zhou Zhongliang, feeling guilty, made up an excuse: "Let's not talk about the past for now. Since Chef Qiao has already taken the child to Beijing, let's let Mom see her grandson more often. We'll bring the child back when we have time off."
My heart is bleeding.
He had already anticipated that the person taking care of the child would most likely not return, so he could no longer be a hands-off parent.
Zhou Hongyu snorted coldly: "The child is born for you, not for someone else. Parents should be prepared for that!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Zhongliang listened attentively to the instruction.
After discussing the child's return to Beijing, Zhou Hongyu began the main topic of the call.
Zhou Zhongliang frowned as he listened. Although the man had settled down and built a career in another place, he was not dead. How could someone be so foolish as to try to bully his family?
