As Chang Meiying walked over, she heard Zhou Bing say with a bitter expression, "Auntie, I don't want to go back to that house. I'll stay at the hospital and take care of your grandmother. Just give me a place to stay, and I can eat your leftovers!"
Zhou Hongyu rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "What's wrong with you, kid? You're so young and you've already lost your drive. Look at what you're saying!"
Chang Meiying shook Zhou Bing's sleeve and said innocently, "Uncle, this won't do. My grandma only knows how to serve men, she can't stand men serving her!"
...
Zhou Hongyu & Zhou Bing: Your primary task is to learn all the characters!
After Chang Meiying's antics, Zhou Bing's mood brightened.
The mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then a village appeared amidst the willows and flowers.
Perhaps he would be better off leaving home.
Zhou Bing picked Chang Meiying up from the ground and playfully nudged her neck with his head, making her laugh out loud.
Zhou Bing hugged Chang Meiying, who was laughing non-stop, and said, "Auntie, I don't plan to go back no matter what. If the family asks, please tell them for me."
With Zhou Hongyu handling things for him and his parents, his cousin and his wife didn't dare to cause him any trouble.
Zhou Hongyu couldn't bear it, so she decided to help the unfortunate child.
"Okay, I'll assign you something to do!"
Zhou Bing's hand tightened, and his eyes lit up.
Living with my aunt, I get to eat nine meals a day!
"Auntie, I'll do whatever you say!"
Chen Zhaodi craned her neck, trying to hear clearly. Seeing Zhou Bing laughing so happily, could it be that he had landed a good job?
Chen Zhaodi was extremely anxious, eager to know what the two people had said!
"Go to Guangdong Province to pick up the goods for me. I won't say anything more. I'll decide whether to keep you here to work based on your performance!"
Zhou Bing nodded, confident that he could gain Zhou Hongyu's approval through his performance.
He'll definitely be able to follow his aunt around and sneak a sip of meat soup!
He will have a bright future even after leaving the dry goods store!
Zhou Hongyu picked up Chang Meiying and said as they walked back, "When you get to Guangdong Province, someone I've arranged in advance will meet you. This is your first time going there, so I'll give you five hundred yuan for the trip. How much you can accomplish with that five hundred yuan depends on your abilities!"
Five hundred yuan is neither a lot nor a little.
To put it another way, take Chang Hongbing, the pillar of his family. He works hard every day and earns only 60 or 70 yuan a month. After deducting the family's daily expenses, it would take him at least a year to save up 500 yuan.
To put it simply, this amount of money is nothing to a businessman; it's barely enough to buy inventory.
Zhou Hongyu planned to use the five hundred yuan to test Zhou Bing's abilities. If Zhou Bing couldn't bring back the results she wanted after spending the money, then Zhou Bing's position in her mind would have to be relegated, and she would have to start looking for a new assistant.
If Zhou Bing's abilities exceed expectations, that would naturally be a good thing.
The money was well spent.
The person is here too.
Not far away, Chen Zhaodi's face was full of worry. She had just heard about five hundred yuan. Who gave whom five hundred yuan?
Back in the ward, Granny Chang saw Zhou Bing and asked him with concern about the wife his elder brother was preparing to marry.
Previously, both families were preparing to have their sons marry and knew each other's situations well. Now that Chang Pengfei's marriage has been completely called off, Granny Chang is deeply moved when she sees Zhou's cousin's family again.
Zhou Bing didn't know what to say for a moment. He stiffly forced a smile and picked out some good things to say to Granny Chang.
Hearing that things were going smoothly for Zhou's family, Granny Chang was happy but also melancholy: "Sigh, if only our family could be like that..."
That's not something you should say!
Chen Zhaodi immediately noticed Zhou Hongyu's expression and interrupted, "Mom, you're getting senile. It's better if things don't go smoothly. Wu Minjun is pregnant with someone else's child. Do you still want her to marry into the family?!"
Granny Chang was taken aback: "That's true, it's better if things don't go smoothly..."
If things go smoothly, then when the rest of the family finds out what Wu Minjun has been doing behind their backs, they'll be furious.
Zhou Hongyu gave Chen Zhaodi a look that said, "You did a good job."
Chen Zhaodi's heart immediately warmed up. If that's the case, then she can ask Zhou Hongyu what the two of them talked about later. Zhou Hongyu should be willing to tell her!
After talking with Zhou Bing for a while, Granny Chang suddenly turned to stare at Chen Zhaodi and couldn't help but ask, "Zhaodi, why have you been staying at the hospital all this time? Aren't you going to work?"
Strangely enough, Chen Zhaodi loves money more than anything, how could she bear to waste a day's wages?
After giving birth to Huaying, she immediately returned to work after her postpartum confinement period, and during that time she wished she could live in the factory to make up for the days she missed.
Chen Zhaodi stood frozen in place, pleading with Zhou Hongyu through her eyes.
Help me—
Taking a leave of absence without pay was her own decision. Apart from telling Zhou Hongyu, no one else knew. She planned to keep it a secret for as long as possible, and it would be best if her family never knew, so as to avoid constant nagging.
Zhou Hongyu gave a forced smile, chuckled, "You know how formidable I am now!"
“Mom, my sister-in-law is very filial. She was worried about you all the time while you were in the hospital, so much so that she couldn’t concentrate on her work and took leave to take care of you.”
Granny Chang silently pulled the blanket over herself; this was not something Chen Zhaodi would do, and she wouldn't believe what she heard.
However, she had her own plan. Since her two daughters-in-law were saying the same thing, she would take it as true for now. As for the truth, she would leave it to those who wanted to know.
Chen Zhaodi escaped unharmed and emerged from the ward covered in sweat.
Zhou Hongyu walked behind and closed the door, mocking, "If you don't want your family to know about this yet, then you'd better keep it a secret from me!"
Chen Zhaodi was so relaxed, it was as if she was announcing to the world, "Look, I don't have to go to work anymore!"
Chen Zhaodi nervously wiped the sweat from her face: "I will be more careful in the future!"
It was terrifying! Who would have thought that Granny Chang, who is usually so quiet, would suddenly ask about this? She thought her mother-in-law was the easiest person in the family to fool, and she almost fell for it.
In response, Zhou Hongyu said, "Hehe, serves her right!"
In Zhou Hongyu's opinion, the most difficult person to fool in the whole family should be Granny Chang. She is a wise woman who appears foolish but is actually very clever. Just think of Chang Meiying, who is closest to her mother-in-law. She is a shrewd little woman. You can get a glimpse of this from her.
Therefore, it was not without reason that Granny Chang died of illness, and the Chang family fell into complete chaos due to internal and external troubles.
"Hongyu, is Zhou Bing with you?"
"Sister-in-law, Zhou Yao!"
Zhou Yao helped her cousin-in-law up the stairs.
Zhou Hongyu was taken aback at first, then nodded.
Aunt Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief. She lowered her voice and complained, "Zhou Bing, this child is so outrageous. Fengqin only said a few words to him, and he started making a scene and ran away from home. His father is furious at home and said he should never come back. What kind of father and son are they!"
Zhou Hongyu & Chen Zhaodi: Oh~~
Someone didn't finish their sentence; they deserve a beating!
"No, Auntie, I never meant to upset my dad. It's just that some people are being unreasonable, and my parents are being biased!"
Zhou Bing promptly opened the door and came out of the ward, then pushed Chang Meiying, who wanted to watch the commotion, back inside.
