Shen Keyi remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhou Hongyu gave her some private space to think things through.
"Hongyu, sit here!"
The older women who were eating called out to her, and Zhou Hongyu responded and went over.
"Xiao Zhuang?" Zhou Hongyu blinked when a big man appeared at the women's table.
"Sister-in-law, don't drink and drive!" Xiao Zhuang scratched his head.
Zhou Hongyu suddenly realized that she had been confused and blamed herself for being ignorant, not knowing about this matter at all.
During the meal, the village women teased Xiao Zhuang, the only man at the table, saying they would introduce him to unmarried girls from their families—beautiful, with great figures, guaranteed to please him.
Xiao Zhuang was so embarrassed by the teasing that he couldn't lift his head. A shy smile appeared on both sides of his face as he hurriedly shoveled rice into his bowl to hide his nervousness.
"Xiao Zhuang, what do you and Xingwang do? Your company even provides you with a car, that's such a great perk!" an older woman asked casually.
Xiao Zhuang glanced guiltily at Zhou Hongyu, who was eating roasted lamb leg, and mumbled, "We're like bricks in socialism, going wherever we're needed. We can't really explain what our job is!"
How could I tell you that we study biubiu to protect our country?
The next project required the entire team to travel abroad to a desert kingdom to train local technicians.
"Xiao Zhuang, don't try to fool us old ladies. The people who clean the toilets in those public restrooms are also socialist bricks, and they don't even deserve to be on a car. Tell us what you think!"
As Zhou Hongyu ate, she listened intently, though she herself was also unaware of the details regarding Chang Xingwang's work.
She guessed that Chang Xingwang was either a maintenance worker or a road worker in a classified base.
Xiao Zhuang exclaimed "Ah!" and patted his head: "The car was transferred from another unit. We'll return it to them when we get back. Sorry for the commotion, young people like to show off!"
"Oh, I see!"
The older women seemed to understand, but Xiao Zhuang was an honest man; they should just listen to him.
"Hongyu!" Zhou Laohan's wife suddenly shouted, and Zhou Hongyu almost dropped the meat she was gnawing on. She glared at her.
Old Zhou's wife patted the back of her hand exaggeratedly: "Look, Xingwang's job isn't necessarily a good one. He's getting on in years. It would be better to let him transfer back to Beijing to take care of the family. Let me tell you, your cousin runs a grocery store in the city and knows some people. He'll definitely find Xingwang a job as a gatekeeper at a factory!"
Zhou Laohan's wife has contracted a disease that will kill her if she doesn't flaunt her son.
Xiao Zhuang stared in shock, then shrugged and laughed so hard his body shook.
The commander is going to check on the gate...
When he gets back, he'll definitely tell his brothers about this hilarious incident.
Here we have some snacks to go with our drinks!
"Xiao Zhuang, what are you doing? Don't look down on the gatekeeper job. In Beijing, people from other places would fight tooth and nail for it... Ouch! Who hit me on the head!"
Old Zhou's wife clutched her head and howled.
Turning his head, he met Granny Zhou's eerie green gaze.
She chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, my head accidentally bumped into your hand. Does your hand hurt? Let me blow on it to warm it up!"
Granny Zhou pushed him away in disgust: "Get out of here!"
"If I hear you spouting nonsense again, you can expect me to slap your mouth until it's rotten."
Old Zhou's wife shrank back and ran away to pee. Old Zhou's wife is really domineering. She just showed off her son, why did she have to get beaten up!
Granny Zhou came over to pull Zhou Hongyu away and whisper something between them.
"Mom, the roasted lamb leg smells so good, please let me have a few more bites..."
"Something important is at hand, don't eat yet!"
Once they were away from the crowds, Granny Zhou hurriedly asked, "Tell me the truth, is Shen Keyi pregnant?"
Unable to get a single definite answer from her damned son, Granny Zhou was furious.
"Hmm, maybe. I'm not a doctor, how would I know so much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit.
Granny Zhou hit and cursed, "You don't know? Tell me again, do you know or not!"
Zhou Hongyu lowered her head and immediately admitted defeat: "I know, I'm pregnant!"
snort!
However, Zhou Pozi, who had gotten the truth from her youngest daughter, became even angrier. She looked at Zhou Hongyu and pressed her for an answer: "Then why didn't your second brother tell the truth in front of the villagers? No one is superstitious, but your second brother is not. He dared to pee on the altar when he was a kid!"
Zhou Hongyu felt extremely guilty. "I can't tell you this, but the couple might not be planning to have the baby."
I don't know~
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit again.
"Straighten your tongue!"
Granny Zhou gave the order: "No matter what, I must see my child in ten months!"
Zhou Hongyu was both amused and exasperated. Sure enough, she was the one who had to take care of her domineering and powerful mother in her old age; otherwise, her mother would drive her crazy.
Take, for example, her overly refined and pretentious sister-in-law.
"I'll give it a try..."
Granny Zhou glared at her: "Try it? It's a must!"
Zhou Hongyu: Ha—
What is this called? This is called a sweet burden, my dear mother!
"Second brother, come with me for a moment!"
Zhou Hongyu called Zhou Zhongliang away, and Chang Xingwang, who was sitting next to her, was about to get up when he heard the noise.
Zhou Hongyu glared at him and said, "Sit down, this is none of your business!"
Finding a secluded spot, Zhou Hongyu spoke bluntly to her second brother: "Mom says she wants to see the baby in ten months. Second brother, you can't fool Mom!"
Zhou Zhongliang was so troubled by his craving for a cigarette that he instinctively rubbed his fingers together.
The difficulty lies mainly with Shen Keyi. Shen Keyi wants a divorce, and no matter how filial he is, he cannot meet his elderly mother's demands.
