Zhou Hongyu arrived home.
Chen Zhaodi has not returned yet.
Chen Zhaodi is the kind of hard-working person who does two jobs for one salary. She says she'll cover half a day shift for a colleague, but in reality, she'll keep working as long as no one comes to take over.
Therefore, the two have different values and are always arguing.
Zhou Hongyu went back to her room to catch up on her sleep before Chen Zhaodi returned, which was already past four in the afternoon.
Chen Zhaodi was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back, and she almost fell off her bike on the way back.
He threw his bicycle in the corner as soon as he entered the door, squatted on the ground, and ate rice soaked in hot water from a large bowl.
Chang Hongbing couldn't stand it, cursed that he was a starving ghost reincarnated, and stormed out.
"Whether I'm hungry or not is none of your business! I can support myself, it's none of your business to tell me what to do!"
While eating heartily, Chen Zhaodi cursed at Chang Hongbing's retreating figure.
Zhou Hongyu was awakened by the noise in the yard. It was a rare occasion for her to go to work, and she was in a bad mood. She rubbed her temples, preparing to continue to recharge, when something suddenly flashed through her mind.
If Chen Zhaodi keeps causing trouble like this, something bad will happen one day.
Not long, just in the next few days.
The person who got into trouble wasn't Chen Zhaodi, but Chang Hongbing.
After finishing her night shift, Chen Zhaodi went to cover for a colleague early the next morning. In order to earn more money, she exhausted herself. Seeing that something was wrong, Chang Hongbing offered to cover for Chen Zhaodi for a few days so that she could get some rest.
However, on the same day, someone had an accident due to improper operation, and Chang Hongbing injured his hand while trying to help.
Chang Hongbing's job requires extreme precision, and he was unable to return to work after injuring his hand.
He was a strong-willed person. He refused the easy and high-paying job offered by the factory and took early retirement without telling anyone. From then on, he was always hunched over.
After that, the chaos and turmoil in the first wife's household was no less than that in the second wife's household.
The two families became the subject of much amusement among the neighbors in Shuangdong Hutong.
When Zhou Hongyu came to her senses, she had already opened the door and was greeted by Chen Zhaodi, who was squatting on the ground eating heartily.
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
Is there something you need?
Zhou Hongyu was extremely embarrassed. She had a very bad relationship with Chen Zhaodi and they always disagreed.
Even though I knew about this beforehand, how should I say it?
No matter what she said, Chen Zhaodi wouldn't take it to heart; this couple only cared about money.
Seeing Chen Zhaodi staring at her with her rice bowl in hand, Zhou Hongyu said dryly, "Sister-in-law just got back. You should take care of yourself and get plenty of rest."
After saying that, feeling agitated, he turned around and went back to his room without waiting for Chen Zhaodi's response.
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
After a while, Chen Zhaodi suddenly stood up, holding a large bowl in her hand. She looked in front, then behind, then at the sky and then at the ground. Zhou Hongyu had indeed been talking to her!
Zhou Hongyu is concerned about her!
Zhou Hongyu was after her money!
Chang Hongbing wandered around outside for a while, then got bored and came back.
Upon entering the room, I was furious to find that Chen Zhaodi was not resting at all, but instead rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for things.
"Do you even want this body anymore?!"
Chen Zhaodi didn't stop what she was doing, but took a moment to turn around and glare at him: "Mind your own business!"
Chang Hongbing assumed she was in a hurry to find something and that's why she hadn't rested, so he went over to help her look for it.
As soon as I got to her side, I saw Chen Zhaodi smiling as she rummaged through a pile of things in the wardrobe and pulled out a bankbook.
What are you doing?
Are you worried that she might lend money out behind his back?
"Don't worry about it!" Chen Zhaodi brushed it off.
After saying that, he sat on the bed with a smile on his face and looked at the passbook.
Chang Hongbing found it strange. She hadn't received her salary yet, so why was she smiling so happily while holding the bankbook?
Chen Zhaodi: Zhou Hongyu's attitude suddenly changed completely. She even cares about me. Could it be that she's already planning to borrow money from me? She even treated me to meat buns this morning. Is she trying to borrow more?
I don't know if there's enough money in my savings account to lend her.
At this moment, Chang Hongbing asked, "Are you having dinner at the canteen? I heard the new chef is quite good."
This couple loved money more than anything and were very stingy. When they worked the night shift, they would just eat a few bites at home and then go out.
Seeing that Chen Zhaodi was in a good mood, and feeling sorry for her working day and night, Chang Hongbing offered a suggestion.
Chen Zhaodi instinctively wanted to object, thinking that going to the cafeteria would cost money, and even if she ate the best food, she would just poop it out in the end, which would be a waste of money.
but.
She thought of Zhou Hongyu's sudden concern earlier, and a strange feeling inevitably arose in her heart.
Hongyu has been showing concern for her this week, so it wouldn't be right for her to treat her casually like before.
"Okay, we'll eat at the cafeteria tonight!"
*
In the evening, Chang Hongbing's youngest daughter, Chang Huaying, returned from a business trip. At this time, the Chang family had not yet started preparing dinner.
Chang Shuying was picking vegetables in the yard when Chang Huaying came in carrying a bag.
"Big sister!"
"Hey, Shuying, are you the only one home?"
"No, my mom is still taking a nap in her room. My uncle and aunt just went to work. Meiying is begging my grandpa to take her to the alley next door to buy toys!"
Chang Huaying chuckled. Returning home after a long day of work, hearing that everything was alright made her feel as comfortable and refreshed as drinking hot water on a cold winter's day.
"Shuying, you haven't started making dinner yet, have you? I bought some things outside. There's roast duck, braised chicken, and soy sauce-braised duck."
"Big sister, you're the best!"
Chang Huaying and Chang Shuying put the food they brought back into the kitchen and started tidying up. Chang Huaying asked, "Shuying, is there anything wrong with my parents today? They're usually still here at this time."
This couple is stingy when it comes to food and doesn't care about their health.
Whenever Chang Huaying couldn't stand it and wanted to help them make up for their losses, she would always get scolded.
After finishing her business, Chang Huaying bought a bunch of delicious food and rushed back, only to find that the person had already gone to work.
Chang Shuying looked for plates in the cupboard: "Oh, Uncle and Aunt, I heard them say that the cafeteria recently got a new chef, and his cooking is pretty good. They're planning to go and try it!"
Chang Huaying was stunned; this sounded too unbelievable.
"Shuying, did you hear me correctly?"
"No, Mei-ying and Grandpa were there at the time. My uncle and aunt were arguing about whether to buy one or two portions. Grandpa even thought they were being shameful and offered to pay for each of them to eat one portion!"
Chang Huaying: "..."
Hmm, that makes sense, these are her parents.
Chang Shuying smiled and said, "In the end, my uncle and aunt didn't take my grandfather's money. They even said that if the new chef's skills were good, they would bring him back for everyone to eat next time!"
Chang Huaying: Everyone? Which everyone? Including the family with my second aunt?
Chang Huaying never expected that strange things would happen at home after she had been away for a while.
"What day did Pengfei and Minjun choose? Are they eating at home or out...?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Shuying's previously good mood plummeted.
He buried himself in his work, without saying a word.
Chang Huaying was taken aback: "What's wrong, Shuying? Is Second Aunt causing trouble for Minjun and the Wu family again, putting Pengfei in the middle?"
Chang Huaying had a good relationship with Wu Minjun, the Wu family, and Chang Pengfei, so she subconsciously assumed it was Zhou Hongyu's problem.
When Chang Shuying heard that her mother had been misunderstood, she immediately explained, "It's not because of my mother. It's because Minjun's family suddenly demanded that we buy a house, otherwise they wouldn't agree to their marriage!"
