Chapter 436 Why do I believe in fate?
"You mean, that Song Chengran knows the Liu family?"
Zhou's father sighed and nodded, "My wife and I originally wanted to take the child back to the Zhou family and let you raise him. I can still hold on for a few more years. After the child is trained, the Zhou family business will be handed over to him. You and your children will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life. Who knows..."
The Liu family and the Su family showed up halfway.
There is also a Yu family hiding behind these people. The Zhou
family is a pure business, and they can still act in front of ordinary people, but they can't do anything against the military and political forces.
"...I don't understand."
Xiao San shook her head, her eyes full of confusion and disappointment, and looked at Zhou's father, "Why can't our children inherit the Zhou family business? They are the fruit of our love, and we have taught them carefully over the years. You can't deny them completely just because they failed once..."
Zhou's father lowered his eyes, his expression a little complicated.
"There are some things that I can't explain to you in a few words, but you have to believe me, I do this for the good of you and the children..."
"For the good of my children, you don't even give us a piece of the family business?"
Xiao San stepped forward and grabbed Zhou's father's clothes on his chest, his eyes red and his voice choked with sobs.
"I have never coveted the identity of Mrs. Zhou, and I have never mentioned being included in the family tree. How come in the end, even the place for my child to live has to be handed over? Brother Feng, I am unwilling..."
Zhou's father was very sad, "I am also unwilling, but this is our fate, the Zhou family... cannot be handed over to our children, otherwise, at best it will be destroyed, at worst their lives may be wiped out by heaven..."
Xiao San stopped crying, looked up at Zhou's father, her eyes full of absurdity.
"Now we live in a society ruled by law. Why do you still believe in these weird things? What heaven? What annihilation? What destruction? You know what kind of people our children are. No matter how stupid they are, they will never fall into the destruction of the Zhou family!"
At the end, she suddenly felt sad, "Zhou Zifeng, are you tired of me? You are attracted to the background behind Song Chengran. Do you want to abandon us and bring Zhou Jiahui and her daughter back?"
"...No, don't think too much. It's not true."
Zhou's father frowned, "I don't like them at all. Why would I bring them back?"
He was attracted to the background behind Song Chengran.
Although the Zhou family stood on the right team because of their ancestors, he was weak and the only son, and his parents were reluctant to let him join the army.
When he had a son, the policy did not allow them to join the army.
Not to mention politics.
Therefore, the Zhou family had to be pure business.
Now there is Song Chengran, and the descendants of Song Chengran and his daughter.
The Zhou family wants to break in, isn't it?
The more Zhou's father thought about it, the more he thought this method was feasible.
But the premise is to maintain a good relationship between Zhou Jiahui's son and the Zhou family.
That child...
if the surname is Zhou?
There is no need to bring the child back to the Zhou family. If the Song family is willing to raise the child, they can raise him. He occasionally instills some ideas in him. When the child grows up and looks at the huge Zhou family business, he doesn't believe that the child will not be tempted!
"Xue'er, I have something to talk to the old lady about. Please digest what I said first. When I come back, I will tell you in detail. Don't worry, I will never treat you and the child badly."
Father Zhou patted Xiao San's shoulder, turned around and walked out of the bedroom quickly to find Old Lady Zhou.
Xiao San looked at his back, her thin lips tightly pursed, and her eyebrows were no longer as gentle as usual, but full of resentment.
What fate?
Why should she believe in fate?
She could make that peasant girl lose favor for thirty years, so naturally she could also snatch things that belonged to her child from Zhou Jiahui!
What Zhou family fate, he couldn't divorce that peasant girl? !
He, Zhou Zifeng, relied on a peasant girl to survive, and if it got out, people would laugh their heads off!
They believed in it, but she didn't believe in this feudal superstition.
If she were to say, the old Taoist must have been bribed by the peasant girl, hoping to marry into the Zhou family in order to become rich and powerful in his lifetime.
He did it on purpose! Look how scared they are!
Xiao San clenched her hands, her eyes full of cruelty.
Zhou Zifeng, if anything unexpected happens, don't blame me.
If you want to blame someone, blame you and your son. You don't consider us at all.
...
Mrs. Zhou was very interested in her son's suggestion, "Then I'll find an excuse to ask Jiahui to bring the child back. Then you can go to that courtyard and take her mother away, and transfer her to a place Jiahui doesn't know. Register the child in the Zhou family first!"
Father Zhou frowned, a little hesitant.
"Mom, Zhou Jiahui is a person of that temper, will she let us touch her mother? What if we end up losing more than we gain?"
"...Then be a little ruthless and take her mother to another place, let them see each other once a month, and wait until the child grows up and inherits the Zhou family business, then consider reuniting them."
Zhou's father thought for a moment, "Mom is still thoughtful, this is safer."
The two of them thought about the reason to call the person back for a long time.
In the end, it was not put to use at all, because the ancestral hall was robbed in the middle of the night.
Old Mrs. Zhou's face changed drastically, and she didn't even bother to put on her coat, and staggered over.
The housekeeper and the servants caught the person who broke into the ancestral hall and pressed him in front of Old Mrs. Zhou.
"It's you!"
Father Zhou was a step late. Seeing Xiao San's mother and daughter, his eyes almost popped out. "Why are you? What are you doing in the ancestral hall? Didn't I tell you that you are not members of the Zhou family and cannot enter the Zhou family ancestral hall? Xue'er, you..."
"Sir, take a look at this first."
The housekeeper took out a tattered book that looked very old and handed it over. "It seems that they have altered the family tree..."
"What?!"
Old Mrs. Zhou stood up and stretched out her hand. "Give it to me, let me see it quickly!"
The housekeeper took two steps forward. Old Mrs. Zhou grabbed it and turned to the page of Father Zhou. Seeing the traces of smearing, her eyes went dark and she fell backwards.
"Mom!"
"Old lady!"
"Quick, quick, go get a doctor..."
the housekeeper responded, turning around and running out.
The ancestral hall was in chaos in an instant.
Xiao San's daughter glanced at Xiao San and wanted to run out, but Xiao San stopped her with her eyes.
Father Zhou pinched the old lady's philtrum, and the old lady slowly woke up. When she saw Father Zhou, she was in a trance for a moment.
When she came to her senses, she turned her head to look at the mother and daughter standing not far away, and she was furious.
"Come here, catch them for me! Catch them!"
The housekeeper ran back after making a phone call, just in time to hear the high-pitched sound of the old lady doing the splits, and immediately asked the servant to hold the mother and daughter down again.
"Mom..."
Father Zhou wanted to beg for mercy, but Old Lady Zhou raised her hand and slapped Father Zhou in the face.
"Do you want to die?! Look at what they wrote in the family tree. I told you long ago that they are not legitimate, and you could just leave them outside, but they insisted on bringing them into the house! They disturbed the peace of the family, and now, they want to kill you! You are really out of your mind..."
"Grandma, how did we disturb the peace of the family?"
Xiao San's daughter's eyes were red, and she felt very aggrieved. "You said that we can't get married and put it on the family tree, my mother never mentioned it; you said that we can't have ideas about them and their daughter, and we have avoided them all these years! Even so, you still look down on my mother, my mother..."
"Shut up, your grandma has her reasons for doing this..." Xiao San stopped her daughter.
She didn't stop him, and her emotions became even more excited.
"What's the reason? That peasant can give my father a chance to live? What era is it now? Don't believe in science but these nonsense? That peasant deliberately taught the old Taoist priest to occupy the position of the mistress of the Zhou family!"
The third daughter said angrily, and glanced at the family tree tightly held in the hand of Mrs. Zhou, with a touch of satisfaction in her eyes, "... I changed the name of the peasant in the family tree to my mother's name, so my father is not completely fine..."
After she finished speaking, the originally quiet night outside suddenly had a burst of thunder.
Then, a strong wind blew, and a dead tree as thick as a man's waist suddenly broke into everyone's sight, sweeping across the ancestral hall.
The dead tree seemed to have eyes, and it rushed straight towards Zhou's father and the third daughter.
"Ah!"
