After Zhou Chen readily accepted the money, he told them the current whereabouts of Zhou Na, Zhou Ling, and Zhou Chuan. Then, to the astonishment of Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, he turned and left.
As for inviting me to my home...
It does not exist.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was decisive and efficient, the couple exchanged a glance and realized that it would be difficult to get money from Zhou Chen through Zhou Na and her two siblings.
The thousand yuan I just gave away might be wasted.
Zhou Dana wanted to get the money back, but with so many people watching, he couldn't bring himself to ask. It would be like slapping himself in the face in public, since he was the one who offered to repay the debt.
at last,
He could only manage a couple of forced laughs, exchange a few polite words with the neighbors present, and then leave dejectedly with Wang Xiuhua.
"This kid is shrewd, what should we do?"
Once on the street, Wang Xiuhua's smile vanished, and she said dejectedly, "At first, when we heard how amazing Zhou Chen was, we felt like a windfall had fallen from the sky and landed on us. But after receiving the information we received and meeting Zhou Chen, we realized that things weren't as simple as we thought."
Zhou Dana also lost his fake smile. He could naturally see Zhou Chen's attitude; he clearly didn't like them. He believed this was related to the three siblings' previous disheartening actions, which were understandable and could only be repaired later.
"Never mind him for now. Our immediate task is to reunite with those three brats, get money out of this kid, and deal with the rest later. If they don't acknowledge us, it'll all be for nothing," Zhou Dana said, his eyes gleaming.
After listening, Wang Xiuhua thought it made sense.
Immediately,
The two went to a high school dormitory, but when they arrived, they found that the school gate was closed and the dormitory building in the distance also seemed to be closed.
It's obvious that Zhou Chen couldn't be in the dormitory building.
Unable to find Zhou Na at the school, the couple had to give up temporarily and instead look for Zhou Ling.
However, following the address provided by Zhou Chen, they discovered that the houses had all been demolished and construction waste was being transported out by truckload.
According to the workers, the people who originally lived here all moved away after receiving the demolition compensation, but no one knew exactly where they moved to.
Unable to find Zhou Ling, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were not upset.
The news that Zhou Ling's husband's family had received a substantial compensation for their house demolished was incredibly good news for the couple.
"I never expected that the second daughter would be so lucky, marrying the son of a family that received compensation for their land expropriation."
Zhou Dana remarked with emotion.
Wang Xiuhua's eyes gleamed, and she squinted as she said, "In that case, our lives will be much easier. We won't ask for too much of the demolition compensation, just a third of it. We won't have to worry about making a living for the rest of our lives."
"That would be good, but I'm afraid that Er Yatou won't manage the household or the money."
Zhou Dana felt a tinge of worry; he always sensed that Zhou Chen's gaze when mentioning Zhou Ling held a deeper meaning.
It seems that Zhou Ling is not doing well.
But if you marry into a family that receives compensation for demolished properties, you'll have no worries about food or clothing, so what could possibly be unpleasant?
"We have no clue where Er Yatou is living with her in-laws now, and Da Yatou is not at school. The only one we can look for now is Lao San."
Wang Xiuhua said.
Zhou Dana nodded. He was sure he could find Zhou Chuan because Zhou Chuan was in the police station receiving legal education.
"Alright, let's go find the third brother first. Maybe we can get the address of the eldest and second daughters from him."
Zhou Dana said.
After the couple reached an agreement again, they went to the detention center.
When Zhou Chuan first heard that someone had come to visit him, he thought it was Zhou Na or Zhou Ling. But when he saw that the people who came to visit him were a poor-looking middle-aged couple, he was stunned.
Who are these two people?
Why do I need to see him?
"Child, I am your father."
"Call me Dad."
“I am your mother, call me Mom.”
Zhou Chuan: "..."
He thought these two people were crazy, trying to act like his parents right off the bat.
“Third brother, no, Zhou Chuan, we really are your parents. You have a black mole the size of a bean on the back of your butt, and a burn on the top of your left foot. You were burned when you were a child. We know all of these things.”
Zhou Dana described Zhou Chuan's physical characteristics.
Zhou Chuan, who had initially dismissed the two as lunatics, changed his expression upon hearing these words. He realized he did indeed have a mole on his buttock, a detail unknown to outsiders, and a burn scar on his left instep, though he had no recollection of it. These two strangers had accurately pinpointed these details…
“Children, we know you don’t believe it, but we are certain that you three siblings are the children your mother and I lost back then. At that time, your father was in debt and had to hide with you all. In Fanjia County, we were discovered. In order not to implicate you three siblings, your mother and I had no choice but to leave you at a street corner…”
Zhou Dana began to recount the circumstances of the abandonment, and then described some characteristics of Zhou Na and Zhou Ling.
After hearing all this, Zhou Chuan had no choice but to believe that the two people in front of him were his biological parents.
“I can acknowledge you, but I have one condition: you must avenge me and settle accounts with Zhou Chen. He is the one who has brought me to this point. I will never forgive him.”
Compared to his biological parents coming to find him, Zhou Chuan was more eager to avenge himself.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were both taken aback by this scene.
Immediately,
With a furrowed brow, Zhou Dana said seriously, "Third brother, I hope you will give up your hatred. Not only that, I also want you to try your best to get his forgiveness after you get out. Going against him will get you nothing and will only bring you benefits. But if you can get him to forgive you, he has a career and money now. Even if he plucks a hair from his leg, it will be enough for you to live a very comfortable life. Do you understand?"
Give up on revenge?
Do I still have to beg Zhou Chen for forgiveness?
Zhou Chuan was stunned for a moment, a surge of anger welling up inside him. He felt that his adoptive parents were not on his side, and his eyes immediately turned cold.
Just as Zhou Chuan was about to lose his temper,
Wang Xiuhua suddenly spoke up, revealing that Zhou Chen now owned multiple companies and was worth millions or even tens of millions of yuan, urging Zhou Chuan to tolerate everything for the sake of money.
Um?
Zhou Chuan fell silent.
He realized that he had indeed been blinded by hatred before. If he could get Zhou Chen's forgiveness, as Zhou Chen's fourth brother, even without blood ties, he could shamelessly pester Zhou Chen and possibly get money from him.
Yes, why did I stubbornly insist on seeking revenge?
Can I get money by taking revenge?
cannot!
The cheap parents are right; getting money from Zhou Chen is the wisest thing to do.
Only at this moment did he realize that his biological parents, who had suddenly appeared, were indeed thinking of him.
He slowly began to accept the two people in front of him.
