Zhou Ling was aware that Xu Laoqi and his gang had been arrested, and that Zhao Kun's parents had caused a scene at the construction site.
Therefore, she thought the construction site leaders would definitely be very angry and fire Xu Laoqi and the others.
This was a deliberate text message intended to annoy him.
It has to be said that Zhou Chen was indeed disgusted.
That ungrateful third sister is truly disgusting; he's got a knack for it. He'd seen it before, so he wasn't too surprised now.
Unfortunately, Zhou Ling was destined to be disappointed.
Xu Laoqi will not only not be fired, but his position as foreman on the construction site will be even more secure. Sun Liancheng has made great contributions and brought huge profits to the head office. Protecting Xu Laoqi and the others is just a trivial matter.
But Zhou Chen wouldn't tell Zhou Ling about these things.
When faced with such harassing text messages, simply ignore them. If you respond, whether by refuting or acquiescing, it will only make the other party think they have achieved their goal.
The most powerful response is to simply ignore it, treat it as air.
Unfortunately, there's no function to block text messages yet; you can only block phone numbers. You can still receive text messages from others. Otherwise, he could have directly blocked Zhou Ling's phone number.
To prevent Zhou Ling from harassing him with text messages from time to time.
Even if he's not disgusted, seeing it frequently will still affect his mood.
On the other end,
After sending the text message using Zhao Kun's phone, Zhou Ling wore a look of triumphant satisfaction. The only thing that bothered her was that Zhou Chen didn't reply.
However, even so, it did not affect her mood.
Because she knew that Zhao Kun's parents had caused such a big fuss at the construction site, it was no wonder that Xu Laoqi was fired. He was just a migrant worker, and the construction site leaders wouldn't care about him. Zhou Chen's lack of response to her meant that she had hit the nail on the head and that he was currently heartbroken.
"Zhou Chen, this is your own doing. You made things difficult for me first, so I won't make things difficult for you either."
"It's a pity I didn't get to see your master get fired. You must be very sad that he was fired. Do you regret not giving me the stinky tofu business back then? Humph... Who told you to be so selfish and have no affection for your sister? You deserve it."
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Even if you go back to school, what good will it do? Your grades will never catch up with your second sister's. I curse you to never get into university."
As Zhou Ling spoke, a cold smile appeared on her face.
Bang!
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
An old woman walked in; she was Zhao Kun's mother.
"Look at how this house is built. It doesn't look like a house with a woman in it. Whose woman doesn't keep the house tidy? She hasn't even married into the family yet, but she already acts like a lord. People who don't know better would think her family gave her a lot of money as a dowry."
"So young, yet so lazy, has absolutely no manners."
Old Mrs. Zhao never explicitly cursed anyone, but every word she uttered was extremely insulting, filled with sarcasm, ridicule, and denigration of Zhou Ling.
"Mom, I'm pregnant, and Brother Kun won't let me move around too much, afraid it will harm the baby."
Zhou Ling explained with a stiff smile.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhao snorted and glanced at Zhou Ling's belly, which was not showing at all. "It's only been a few days, not even a month yet. How can you have any pregnancy symptoms? I think you've come to our house to be a kept man. Our Zhao family doesn't support idlers. Even if you're pregnant, you still have to work."
"Mom, that's not what you said before. You said that my pregnancy was a great achievement for the Zhao family, and I didn't have to do anything." After being mocked repeatedly, Zhou Ling got angry and immediately retorted.
Previously, she clearly remembered that Old Mrs. Zhao's attitude was definitely not like this. Back then, she called her daughters one by one, but now she didn't even bother with the titles and instead made sarcastic remarks.
This is because they're taking advantage of the fact that she's pregnant with the Zhao family's child, so they feel safe and fearless.
"You said it yourself, that was before. I could stop you from working, but you had to give our Zhao family a big, healthy son. Who knows if you're carrying a boy or a girl now?"
And because of your heartless brother, my son was beaten like that. Tell me, what have you brought to our family?
Old Mrs. Zhao was still resentful about Zhao Kun being beaten black and blue, and she still blamed Zhou Ling for it.
“My older brother is inhuman, he’s cold-blooded and ruthless. What does he have to do with me? I’ve already severed ties with him for Xiao Kun’s sake, what more do you want?” Zhou Ling’s eyes reddened, and she became more and more aggrieved and angry as she spoke.
“I gave you all the money my parents left me, more than three thousand yuan. I didn’t even go to school to be with Xiao Kun, and I had his child at a young age. Other girls get a dowry when they get married, but where is the dowry your family gave me? There wasn’t even a wedding, and no dowry. How dare you say such things to me!”
Zhou Ling exploded.
She should be happy with Zhao Kun, and let Zhou Chen see that her choice was right. But now, she has given up a lot, and without a dowry, she is being looked down upon.
If Zhou Chen found out, what would he think of her? He'd definitely laugh at her to death.
Was Zhou Ling's attempt to kill herself just to prove that her choice was a joke?
no!
So why should she have to endure this injustice and suffer this humiliation?
Grandma Zhao was speechless after being rebuked. After all, Zhou Ling's words were indeed reasonable. However, as an unreasonable old woman, she was not about to admit defeat easily.
He immediately called Zhao Kun over, "Son, look at this. This is the woman you like. She dares to yell at me and argue with me. You need to control her. Whose woman is she? So unreasonable, bullying an old man."
"Wife, how could you talk to Mom like that? Apologize to her right now."
Zhao Kun hurriedly went back into the house upon hearing the sound.
Zhou Ling refused to back down. "Zhao Kun, I was with you without any dowry, no wedding, and I even had your child. Is this how you treat me? Are you trying to prove that I was blind to have chosen you?"
Hearing this, Zhao Kun immediately felt guilty and dared not try to persuade Zhou Ling any further. He quickly pulled his mother away, saying, "Mom, please calm down. Xiaoling definitely didn't mean it. Xiaoling has been really good to you. I apologize, okay?"
Not long after,
Zhao Kun returned after seeing Old Mrs. Zhao off. He immediately put on a big smile and comforted Zhou Ling, saying all sorts of sweet words, and said that he would prepare both the bride price and the wedding.
"real?"
Zhou Ling's anger subsided considerably, and she looked up and asked.
"Wife, when have I ever lied to you? You have everything that other women have," Zhao Kun said confidently.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling was finally satisfied and smiled.
"Brother Kun, I'm sorry, my attitude just now might not have been very good, but I really felt wronged by what your mother said to me. I wanted to live a good life and let Zhou Chen know that I made the right choice. I believe I chose a good man who can bring me a happy life, but..."
"Honey, I'm sorry, I wasn't good enough. I'll make sure you're happy and I won't let your brother laugh at me. Let's go shopping tomorrow and I'll buy you new clothes."
"Really?"
"Of course, you'll wear your new clothes then, so your brother can see them."
"Brother Kun, you're so kind."
Once Zhao Kun started showering her with sweet words, Zhou Ling quickly stopped being angry, and the two returned to normal.
