After returning from Yanjing
Many classmates called to invite him to their graduation banquet. Zhou Chen refused whenever possible, and only went when he couldn't refuse.
Because of the trouble caused by the Zhou family and Zhou Ling, life had been chaotic. Now that things have calmed down, he wanted to spend more time with Sun Wanying, but Sun Wanying had no time for him. She led her team on an overseas inspection trip and left in a hurry, without even having time to see him off.
After seeing Sun Wanying off at the airport over the phone...
Zhou Chen approached his parents' former boss at their workplace and told him about his desire to buy the house.
According to the original timeframe, the house will be taken back soon.
Now that he has money and the ability to keep the old house where he has lived for many years, which holds childhood memories and the imprint of his parents, he naturally wants to make this happen.
His former supervisor did not make things difficult for him and agreed to sell the property to him at the current price.
After the transfer of ownership is completed,
Zhou Chen, holding the property ownership certificate and university admission notice, asked Tang Wu to drive them to the cemetery again to visit their parents.
At the grave, Zhou Chen talked about buying the house and going to university in Yanjing soon. Although he was talking to himself, they chatted for a long time.
The day after returning from the cemetery, Zhou Chen upgraded the house, first installing a security door and changing the lock, and then adding surveillance cameras.
To prevent that ungrateful Zhou Ling from sneaking in and to eliminate any future troubles.
In addition to these, he purchased two safes and put some of his parents' belongings, as well as things he considered important, into them. Even if Zhou Ling were to break in, she would be helpless to take the safes without the password, and would only be able to stare at them helplessly.
In fact, Zhou Chen knew that what he was doing was somewhat unnecessary.
These days, Zhou Ling is a pariah in the neighborhood; nobody likes to see her. But just in case, these things still need to be done.
As the first person in the community to install a security door and surveillance cameras, Zhou Chen quickly became known throughout the community and guessed his purpose in doing so.
Many of the neighbors told Zhou Chen not to worry, and that if they saw a stranger loitering around their door, they would immediately call him or even the police.
Although Zhou Chen didn't have a good impression of his snobbish old neighbor, he didn't want to offend someone who was smiling at him. Besides, since the neighbor had made such a gesture and was trying to be friendly, he didn't need to hold a grudge.
While chatting with old neighbors,
Zhou Chen unexpectedly overheard news about Zhou Ling, who was living in a dilapidated house next to a pig farm.
Because of the strong odor from pig farming, that area was sparsely populated, and houses were extremely cheap.
Secondly, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua would occasionally bring food and give Zhou Ling some money. Hearing about these two, Zhou Chen couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.
He had almost forgotten about the two of them. These three ungrateful parents hadn't left Fanjia County. Not only that, they even helped Zhou Ling through her difficulties.
It seems their identities haven't been exposed yet, and they continue to pretend to be the three's parents.
Zhou Ling is currently penniless and of no use to the two men, so what reason could Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua have for not leaving? The only one Zhou Chen could think of was Zhou Na.
Since Zhou Na is the most successful of the three siblings, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua must have been helping Zhou Ling to gain benefits from her, thus increasing their positive impression of Zhou Na.
but,
Thinking back to her previous life, Zhou Na exposed their false identities.
This life, I don't know if it will come sooner or later, but I imagine the scene will be very interesting.
...
Unbeknownst to Zhou Chen, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were currently debating whether or not to simply leave.
With Zhao Kun in jail, they no longer need to be afraid. They've also gotten their ID cards back and can quietly leave to a place where no one can find them and continue their lives.
Now, not only do they have to support Zhou Ling, who is already a burden, but they also have to support an even younger child. Half of the money they earn from working is spent on the mother and child, which makes Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua feel very distressed.
They came here to find three ungrateful wretches to support them in their old age, not to work for these three and make money.
And the current situation,
The two of them have become Zhou Ling's nannies.
"Although we'll have to stay and continue to be that brat's nanny, if we leave, Zhou Na will definitely be even less likely to approve of us."
"Let's be patient for now. As the saying goes, 'A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.' This is our chance to prove ourselves. Zhou Na got such a high score; she'll definitely be successful in the future. Nowadays, college graduates can earn a lot of money. For the sake of the future, we must make Zhou Na acknowledge us. Then, our good days will begin."
Wang Xiuhua was tempted to back out, but Zhou Dana disagreed, because they only had this one chance. If they gave up, it would be much harder to gain the approval of those three ingrates in the future.
"However, we don't need to be that brat's babysitter all the time. At most, we can take some money and push it onto our work. If we don't have time, that brat won't say anything. Let her suffer alone. We can just pretend to be nice guys."
Zhou Dana's persuasion convinced Wang Xiuhua.
"Old man, that brat called again."
As soon as Wang Xiuhua saw the caller ID, she immediately spoke.
"Just do as I just said. We're busy, we don't have time, we can't leave the shop."
Zhou Dana knew that Zhou Ling's call must have been to tell them to go back and serve her.
This brat is becoming increasingly self-righteous and entitled, and he doesn't hesitate to order them around.
"Dad, Mom, the little girl peed again. Which of you can come back and help me wash the diaper? I'm on my period and can't get it wet."
"Also, the smell of pig manure here is too strong. I need to find another place. You guys need to rent me a house near your work. Otherwise, if we continue to live here, I feel like Xiaoya and I are turning into pigs, covered in the smell of pig manure."
Zhou Ling now frowns frequently when she smells herself. She feels like she's not human anymore, but a pig, smelling terrible from head to toe. Even her daughter, who used to smell like milk, now smells like pig manure. She just can't stand it anymore.
“Xiaoling, it’s not that your parents don’t want to help you, it’s just that we really don’t have the time. We were already scolded by our boss for taking leave before. If we take leave again, we’ll be fired. If your dad and I both lose our jobs, how will we support you and your child? You’ll have to overcome these difficulties on your own for now.”
"Mom, I can wash my own diapers, but this place..."
"Your dad and I will definitely change your living arrangements. Just hang in there for now."
Wang Xiuhua spoke sweetly, but she and Zhou Dana had no intention of actually changing Zhou Ling's place. As for renting a house near their work, that was even more out of the question. That would just give Zhou Ling even more reason to make them go back home when they had free time.
The reason for renting a house next to the pig farm is twofold: firstly, it's far enough from the restaurant, and secondly, it's cheap enough. Where else could we find a good place that offers a suitable reason and saves money?
They didn't care whether Zhou Ling suffered or not.
