"Chang Xingwang's family? I've never heard him mention this!"
Hearing the voice coming from the gate, Zhang Guifen immediately knew that the speaker was Chang Xingwang's wife.
Many years ago, she and her husband Zhang Dezhu visited the Chang family, but they never saw this person. Zhou Hongyu had a fight with her in-laws and took her child back to her parents' home. She only heard that he was a strange and unreasonable shrew!
Zhang Guifen smiled and got up to greet him; a beautiful face made a great visual impact on her.
Her expression was stiff.
Could it be that Chang Xingwang secretly found a younger and prettier wife back in his hometown?
Zhou Hongyu frowned and asked her, "Our family didn't receive the letter. Did you tell Chang Xingwang before you came?"
What is all this nonsense?! It's so annoying!
Chang Xingwang is like a dead man. He has only been home a few times over the years. He is quite comfortable being free and independent. This time, he even wants his family to help him entertain guests!
Without any prior notice, she arrived at my doorstep looking so fresh and radiant!
Zhou Hongyu grew angrier the more she thought about it. She patted her chest, deciding that she would write a letter tonight to give Chang Xingwang a good scolding.
Zhang Guifen's expression was unnatural: "Brother Chang's place is in a remote area with poor communication, so he may not have received it in time!"
Zhou Hongyu snorted coldly. How could he not have received it? Every time she wrote a letter to scold someone, Chang Xingwang would receive it every time and even reply to her in a serious manner to correct her typos. It infuriated her!
Chang Xingwang didn't take this matter to heart at all; he thought it was a simple task!
One letter tonight isn't enough, I have to write three!
Zhou Hongyu turned to Old Man Chang, who was lagging behind, and asked, "Dad, have you arranged accommodations for them?"
"It's all arranged. They'll stay in the boys' rooms for now!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded and reached out to Zhang Guifen for the medical records: "This can't go on. Give me the child's medical records and I'll find a few more doctors to take a look!"
We can't just stay at the Chang family's house forever if the illness can't be cured!
Zhang Guifen was drenched in sweat. Where did she get a medical record? Her child wasn't sick at all!
Here's what happened: Zhang Dezhu and his wife had been struggling for many years before finally having their precious youngest son. Reluctant to leave their son to suffer in the Northwest, Zhang Dezhu used all sorts of connections and finally managed to get the couple to Beijing under the pretext of bringing their child there for medical treatment.
As long as the illness can't be cured, they can stay there indefinitely.
As luck would have it, after being back in the capital for more than half a year, I suddenly received a job.
? ? ?
Zhou Hongyu felt that there was something very wrong with Chang Xingwang's wife!
If someone asks her about her child's illness and incurable condition, she would want to tell them everything she knows, for fear of missing anything that might delay her child's treatment.
This person seems more afraid that others will find out something!
Is the child not sick?
Zhou Hongyu was a little confused by Zhang Guifen's reaction.
At this moment, Chang Meiying suddenly shouted, "You scoundrel, you want to steal the chicken leg I ate too!"
A chubby boy ran out, holding a chicken leg that Chang Meiying had gnawed on with her baby teeth.
Zhou Hongyu's lips twitched as she pointed at the boy and demanded, "Is this your sick child who can't be cured?"
Does this look like someone is sick?
Zhang Guifen realized something was wrong, hugged her son tightly, and cried, "He's not usually like this. This illness just won't go away, and it breaks my heart as his mother..."
Old Man Chang was deeply moved and wiped away his tears: "It's alright, Guifen, just stay in Beijing and focus on getting your child medical treatment. We'll do our best to help you!"
Zhou Hongyu was annoyed when she heard this. Here they come, her overly sentimental and saintly in-laws!
She declared, "Dad, you're responsible for leaving people at home. My sister-in-law and I have our own things to do!"
Bring Chen Zhaodi along, so she won't have to be distracted by managing the shop.
Chen Zhaodi chimed in, "Yes, Dad, I work 30 days a month without a break. Ever since I lost my secure job, I have to go out and earn a living every day!"
She didn't want to stay home to take care of Zhang Guifen and her son; they didn't seem like good people. She'd rather spend her time at the store and earn more commission.
Old Man Chang didn't argue with them and nodded in agreement.
He knew perfectly well what was going on; there was no point in arguing, and nobody listened to him anyway!
Zhang Guifang's eyes darkened, her thoughts unreadable. She listened silently to their conversation without offering any opinion.
In short, Zhang Guifang's goal was to stay in the Chang family so that she could have better contact with the sick and hospitalized Granny Chang and obtain more compelling evidence!
Her goal has been achieved—
After dinner, the two sisters-in-law worked in the kitchen.
Zhou Hongyu was puzzled: "Tell me, how could someone fabricate a story that their child is sick and can't be cured? Isn't that creepy!"
Chen Zhaodi, washing the dishes, was equally puzzled: "I couldn't do this!"
Zhou Hongyu stretched her waist and loosened her muscles: "This sounds like a movie plot! Like a spy movie! Enemy agents!"
Chen Zhaodi paused, then stopped what she was doing: "Foreign capitalists are so rich, while we're dirt poor. Why would they come looking for us?"
Zhou Hongyu's thoughts wandered: "Hmm...maybe they've got their eye on Chang Xingwang working at the Northwest base, but what's so great about an electrician like him?"
Zhou Hongyu thought that rich capitalists were indeed strange. They had so much money that they didn't know what to do with it, so they set their sights on an electrician who had no real skills!
Chen Zhaodi laughed out loud: "What electrician or not, when I asked the matchmaker to introduce Yaozu to a potential partner, I already said that Yaozu's second uncle is a leader at the Northwest Base! Anyway, it's not convenient to find out, so whatever I say goes!"
Zhou Hongyu stared at her for a while: "So it's because of your foul mouth?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
God of Wealth, let me explain—
The next day, after getting up, Zhou Hongyu told Chang Shuying and her sister to pack their things when they got back from school, and that she would take them to Zhoujia Village after she got off work. The three of them would stay in Zhoujia Village for the time being!
Chen Zhaodi quickly brushed her teeth and hurriedly chased after Zhou Hongyu, asking, "You don't have to run away from home, do you?"
Zhou Hongyu rolled her eyes at her. Which eye saw her run away from home?
"You don't need to worry about this. I'm definitely not running away from home!"
Since we were planning to move to the new house before the snow, why not take this opportunity to get started?
Knowing she couldn't change her mind, Chen Zhaodi ran to Old Man Chang to complain.
Father-in-law, take it easy. Zhou Hongyu hasn't gone crazy lately, so you're treating her like a sick cat!
Old Man Chang was discussing with Zhang Guifang their plans to visit Granny Chang at the hospital later, not wanting to back down in front of outsiders.
He immediately adopted the air of the head of the household: "Go ahead, do you think I'm some kind of villain who can't even control his daughter-in-law when she goes back to her parents' home!"
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
You really don't care? Your precious granddaughter has been taken away by Zhou Hongyu—
Old Man Chang was feeling very weak and urged Zhang Guifang to hurry up and go to the hospital to visit Old Woman Chang. If he kept dawdling, he wouldn't be able to maintain his persona!
After he gets rid of Zhang Guifen at the hospital, he'll come back and see what Zhou Hongyu is planning to do!
