If she had given birth to a boy, Old Mrs. Zhao would never have kicked them out.
In this way, he wouldn't have to live near the pig farm and smell pig manure every day. Zhao Kun would also take on the responsibilities of being a father and strive to improve himself.
Unfortunately, she gave birth to a girl.
Not only was he disliked by Old Mrs. Zhao, but this also greatly disappointed Zhao Kun, leaving him with no motivation to do anything and rarely home.
Now that Zhao Kun is in prison, his mother has become even more hostile towards him, saying that after Zhao Kun is released, she will make them divorce, and that he is a jinx.
Not being liked by her in-laws was bad enough, but what upset Zhou Ling the most was that Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua promised to change her residence, but after waiting for several days, the two refused to talk about it. As a result, she took her daughter to find the two of them herself and happened to overhear their conversation with their colleagues. The two of them said that she was a vampire, had bad taste, and married a scoundrel, and that she was not as good as Zhou Na, etc.
Zhou Ling originally thought she held a certain place in her parents' hearts, but she didn't expect Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua to think of her so much. Thinking back to the 300,000 yuan she was swindled out of, which caused her standard of living to plummet, she was immediately furious and went up to the two of them to start arguing.
"Since you don't like me, I don't need to hold back anymore. You're the ones who wronged me; you owe me."
The relationship had reached a freezing point, and Zhou Ling decided to go to the restaurant again tomorrow to find Zhou Dana and his companion and ask them for money. She hadn't asked for money before because she considered them her parents, but now that they cared for her so much, it would be foolish for her to continue thinking that way.
She now realized how wise her second sister, Zhou Na, was. From the very beginning, she disowned the two of them and saw through Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua's true nature. Only she had foolishly accepted these adoptive parents.
Not only did the two men not support her, they also cheated her out of her money, which led to complaints from her in-laws. Now they're calling her a vampire, so let her become a vampire then.
The next morning
Zhou Ling, carrying her daughter, arrived early at the restaurant where Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua worked.
But to her utter surprise,
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua resigned and left yesterday, and the restaurant owner doesn't know where they went.
Zhou Ling was dumbfounded when she came up empty-handed. She had originally wanted to get some money from the two men to improve her life, but Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua ran away overnight. Were they abandoning her again, just like when she was a child?
Zhou Ling suddenly felt like a drifting duckweed, lonely and helpless.
Her in-laws hated her, scolded her, disliked her, and regarded her as an enemy.
The man she married is in jail and won't be out for six months.
My older sister is studying far away in Beijing and has no time to take care of her.
The younger brother fled in all directions, barely able to protect himself, and his whereabouts are unknown.
At this moment, Zhou Ling couldn't help but wonder if she really was a jinx. Why had her life turned out this way?
Did all the bad things happen to her?
In the entire Fanjia County, who else can she rely on?
Meanwhile, on a train bound for Yanjing,
After reading the text message, Zhou Dana put down his phone and chuckled, "That brat really came looking for us again. I knew that vampire wouldn't stay put. I resigned early and left Fanjia County, otherwise, she would have kept pestering me."
"You're so smart, you guessed what she was thinking." Wang Xiuhua felt that her decision to resign that day and leave Fanjia County immediately was the right one. Then, she thought of Zhou Ling's words yesterday, and her face turned cold. "That brat accused us of cheating her out of money in public, making us lose face, and blaming us for all her troubles. It's outrageous! It's all her own doing, what does it have to do with us? Luckily, she's not my biological daughter, otherwise, I would have been driven to my death by anger sooner or later."
“We’ve left Fanjia County, and that brat can’t find us for now. Now we should think about how to continue to make money. We don’t need to consider Zhou Ling anymore; she’s not worth wasting time on. As for that rascal Zhou Chuan, we don’t know where he’s run off to; whether he’s alive or dead is unknown, so we can ignore him too. Our only target is that brat Zhou Na.” Zhou Dana said leisurely, his eyes gleaming.
Speaking of Zhou Na,
A hint of helplessness flashed in Wang Xiuhua's eyes. The reason was simple: they could easily gain the approval of Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, but they could never gain the approval of Zhou Na. As the most successful of the three siblings, Zhou Na was the one the couple most wanted to be recognized by, and also the one they were most helpless to obtain.
"It's also our bad luck that we stayed in the same hotel as that brat, and she overheard what we said. She knows why we came back to find her and her two siblings, so she hasn't accepted us yet. Moreover, she's more cunning and smarter than those two idiots, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan. If we go to Yanjing to find her this time, we'll probably be treated the same way as before."
Wang Xiuhua voiced her guess.
Zhou Dana had also thought of this. He frowned for several seconds, then suddenly smiled and his brows relaxed. He said, "Do you remember the first time we went to her school? I think she still cares about her reputation and wants us to leave as soon as possible. I think we can take advantage of that. We can buy some things, go to her school, and ideally, let her roommates and classmates know that we are her parents. If she doesn't want to be gossiped about by her classmates, she will naturally compromise, give us benefits, and shut us up."
Um?
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuhua's heart stirred.
“I suspect that Zhou Na went to university in Beijing because she wanted to get away from Fanjia County and her original home. She was affected by Zhou Ling’s stupid things in high school and was criticized by others. She must have been very troubled and wanted to escape everything. Now that she’s in university, she has finally gotten her wish. You can tell from the fact that she rarely contacts Zhou Ling.”
Zhou Dana murmured.
If Zhou Na were here and heard these words, she would definitely be surprised, because Zhou Dana's judgment was completely correct.
Zhou Na's biggest wish is to escape her family of origin and the small town where she has lived for decades.
It has finally been done.
"So, you mean she doesn't want life to go back to how it was in high school, and even if she doesn't want to acknowledge us, she'll still give us benefits?" Wang Xiuhua roughly guessed Zhou Dana's plan.
Zhou Dana nodded. "That's right."
"If we can really get her to compromise, that would be great. We won't have to do anything anymore, and this little brat can support us."
Wang Xiuhua grinned, sensing that this time she would definitely succeed.
Unless Zhou Na is shameless and unafraid of being talked about, compromise is the only option she can take.
