"Second brother, you should read more books in your spare time..."
The two sisters hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but then stopped.
Chang Pengfei immediately straightened his back, but lacked confidence: "No matter what I am like, your sister Minjun will like me!"
Wu Minjun is a college student, facing fierce competition to get into college, while he didn't do well in school and only got a high school diploma. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, they were destined to be together, and their diplomas did not affect their relationship.
The two sisters were ashamed. They liked it? Wasn't it because they were uneducated and easily fooled?
Chang Pengfei felt inexplicably irritable. He got up and walked around. He had a premonition that what he had said today would change something!
The Wu family hasn't been causing trouble lately because Chang Pengfei has become more sensible after being beaten, and he's less likely to bring this matter up to his mother. So it's because of him that things haven't escalated to Zhou Hongyu's ears.
When the Wu family pushed him to the brink, he started making threats, saying that if they couldn't make ends meet, the three of them would jump into the river!
Honest people can go crazy when pushed to the limit. The Wu family was temporarily intimidated by Chang Pengfei's behavior, which was the first time they had seen him like this. However, this tactic had a time limit. If the Wu family realized that Chang Pengfei was just talking, then they would be in even bigger trouble!
Chang Pengfei glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, then slapped the back of his head.
Oh no! Minjun went to the hospital to see a doctor today and forgot about this important matter!
He quickly packed his things and said to Granny Chang in the kitchen, "Grandma, I have something to do, I'm leaving now!"
"Pengfei, wait a minute, Grandma made your favorite food...sigh..."
Granny Chang came out with a shovel, and then walked away.
Chang Meiying hugged Granny Chang's leg and said sweetly, "Grandma, I like everything you make, so I can eat it all!"
Granny Chang smiled.
Chang Shuying was thinking that she must tell her mother about her second brother's belief that kissing could lead to pregnancy!
There's no reason why Second Brother would make this up. Someone must have told him, and this person is very likely from the Wu family. The Wu family and her mother don't get along, so they probably have ulterior motives!

Cultural Center.
After completing the formalities, Zhou Hongyu had tea with Director Ning in the office.
The cultural center is located in a remote area, and few outsiders come here. Working here is so boring that you can't even pick your toes. After learning about it, Zhou Hongyu nodded with satisfaction.
Director Ning poured tea: "Comrade Hongyu, it's normal to feel out of place when you first start working at a new place. I'll give you a few days off, and you can come back to work officially next Monday."
Zhou Hongyu nodded; she also preferred to work less!
The two sat in the office drinking tea and chatting for a while. Zhou Hongyu thought that she still needed to go back to Zhoujia Village to inspect her villa, so she got up to say goodbye.
Director Ning escorted her to the door, and as he watched her disappear, he excitedly stroked his beard.
Monday, Lu Manman vs. Zhou Hongyu!
Lu Manman and Ning Huilan were not at the cultural center these past few days; they were following instructions from above to lead a team to Zhejiang Province to participate in an exhibition.
Director Ning covered his mouth with his fist and chuckled to himself. He hadn't told his daughter about this yet, but she would see the surprise he had prepared when she returned. The cultural center had been suffering under Lu Manman's thumb for a long time!
Zhou Hongyu rode her bicycle to her mother's house first.
The weather was exceptionally nice today, and Granny Zhou was lying in the yard sunbathing.
Seeing that only she had returned, Granny Zhou looked away with disdain and grumbled, "I don't care to look at you. Shuying, Meiying, why didn't you bring one back..."
Zhou Hongyu retorted without backing down: "I just happened to be here on business, so of course it's just me, who else could it be!"
After parking her bicycle, Zhou Hongyu smiled and said, "Grandma, I have some good news to cheer you up. I've got a new job at the cultural center near our village. So don't complain about no one taking care of you in your old age anymore. Look, it's just a short walk away!"
Upon hearing this wonderful news, the hypocritical Granny Zhou couldn't stop smiling. She threw her pipe aside, got up, and dusted off her clothes.
She muttered to herself, "I think today is an auspicious day. I'll get myself cleaned up and go burn incense for your father..."
Zhou Hongyu stopped the person, but no, whenever her father was involved, it always ended with her mother crying and wailing, turning a good thing into a bad one!
"Please sit down! Maybe this is my dad's doing, arranged by his spirit in heaven, so that I can come back and take care of you in your old age. So don't say I can't take care of you in your old age. This was all approved by my dad himself!"
Granny Zhou smiled. She used to not believe in ghosts and gods, but after her father's death, she became more of a believer than anyone else. She wished that people could come back to life so that her father could stay by her side forever.
Zhou Hongyu asked her about the situation at the house again. Old Mrs. Zhou laughed and scolded her a few times. She came back and left her own mother aside, only caring about that dilapidated house!
Despite her scolding, Granny Zhou was equally attentive to her house and knew everything about the situation there.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time about the house.
Before leaving, Zhou Hongyu planned to conduct an on-site investigation. Just as she stepped out of her house, she was stopped by the owner of the village store.
"Hongyu, come quick! Your phone is ringing. It's from Guangdong province. They say it's your second sister-in-law!"
Zhou Hongyu answered the phone, and Shen Keyi, recognizing her, immediately smiled: "I called back specifically to find you, but it just so happened that you were visiting your parents' home, saving me a lot of trouble!"
"Second sister-in-law, tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
"Hongyu, there's not anyone around you, is there? I have something important to tell you in a moment, so look around!"
Zhou Hongyu did as she was told: "Second sister-in-law, no one's here!"
"Okay, Hongyu, I'll tell you about it over the phone. Zhongliang was supposed to tell you, but he was suddenly sent on a business trip by his boss, so I'll talk to you instead. Be prepared for what I'm about to say!"
Zhou Hongyu's heart tightened. Was it really that serious?
"Hongyu, Pengfei's fiancée is named Wu Minjun, right? She was admitted to XX Normal College in Guangdong Province..."
