Chapter 107 Let's Move Out
On one side are his parents, and on the other is his troublemaking son who refuses to listen to his elders' advice, thinks he's clever, feels that there's no human touch in the family, and is headstrong. Zhou Kanghui knows better than anyone how to choose.
After I got home, I went to the neighbor's house.
When Zhou Mingyuan saw him, he belatedly felt guilty; he hadn't meant to upset his grandfather...
Zhou Kanghui kicked him: "You live in your grandparents' house and spend your grandparents' money, and you still have the nerve to say that you don't want the kids to call you great-grandfather and great-grandmother? If you're so capable, why don't you move out? Moving out will show your true abilities. Why don't you move out?"
Zhou Mingyuan's eyes suddenly reddened: "Dad, are you going to kick me out?"
Zhou Kanghui sneered: "Otherwise what? Your grandfather was hospitalized because of you, and what were you doing? Your eldest brother and sister-in-law were both at the hospital, and your second brother and sister-in-law rushed back from Changping as soon as they heard that your grandfather was hospitalized. I just want to ask, what were you doing?"
Zhou Mingyuan explained in a low voice, "Shanshan has a stomachache, I..."
That sounds like an excuse.
Zhou Kanghui doesn't care what his daughter-in-law is like, but his son is his, and he can take care of him: "You're married and about to become a father. Since you feel that your family has wronged you, you should move out. Even when your child is born, I will support him taking his mother's surname."
If you can say things like "don't call me great-grandfather" or "great-grandmother," who are you trying to threaten?
He Xishan sat on the sofa, and her face flushed instantly upon hearing her father-in-law's words.
Zhou Mingyuan looked at him in disbelief: "Dad, you can't even..."
Zhou Kanghui waved his hand: "Didn't you say you wouldn't let the child recognize his great-grandparents? I'll grant your wish."
He Xishan's face turned pale and then red. She sat up straight and raised her head: "You said it yourself. Don't complain when the child takes my surname."
"Don't worry, there will be no objections." Zhou Kanghui had nothing to say to his daughter-in-law. After saying this, he looked at Zhou Mingyuan and said, "When you came of age, your grandparents gave you a house. No matter whether you sold it or not, we gave it to you. You have one week to move out."
No matter how much you say, he won't listen, and he's too lazy to waste his breath.
He can't live a good life if he insists on causing trouble; there's nothing he can do to save him.
Let alone the fact that his grandson didn't inherit the family fortune, even his own son hasn't inherited it yet. What did he say?
If you can't stand the coldness at home, then go out and enjoy the warmth outside.
Zhou Mingyuan: "Dad..."
Zhou Jia rushed in and nudged him, saying, "Hurry up and apologize to Dad! Do you really want to move out?"
Zhou Kanghui: "The deed is done, what good is an apology?"
Not to mention, he didn't see a trace of apology on their faces. Their grandfather was in the hospital, and they could still sit still, so he didn't expect them to apologize.
He Xishan: "We did nothing wrong, why should we apologize?"
In her mind, her grandparents looked down on them; otherwise, why would her eldest brother and his wife, and her second brother and his wife, have pocket money, but she and her husband did not?
Zhou Kanghui laughed in anger and looked at Zhou Mingyuan: "It doesn't even need to be a week. If you're so tough, move out today."
He Xishan clenched her hands and remained silent.
Zhou Mingyuan hadn't expected his father to be so cruel to him, and his eyes reddened as he said, "Dad..."
Zhou Kanghui: "I'll have someone come over later to help you pack your luggage."
After saying that, he left.
Zhou Jia sneered, "Dad has already spoken, move on, let's see where you move to."
She had no idea what they were thinking; their brains seemed to be filled with mush, unable to listen to anything. Everyone in the world felt guilty towards them; only they were the best...
If they are capable of earning their own money and spending it themselves, without relying on their families at all, then she will believe they are truly independent.
As they were talking, Sun Yurong ran in and slapped He Xishan across the face.
Zhou Mingyuan came over and pushed her away: "Mom, what are you doing?"
He Xishan covered her face and glared at her hatefully.
Sun Yurong gasped for breath: "You sold your house? You used the money to buy fake antiques?"
Zhou Mingyuan: "That's not a fake antique, you..."
Sun Yurong said with a dark face, "Where are those antiques? I'll take them to be appraised."
Zhou Mingyuan said impatiently, "Mom, can you please stop making a scene? My place is messy enough, and Dad wants me to move out."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yurong exploded again: "You're his son, why should he make you move out?"
Zhou Jia chimed in, "Third brother and sister-in-law said that Grandpa and Grandma are biased, and when the child is born, they won't let him call them Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yurong felt a throbbing sensation on her forehead. Clutching her chest, she glared at He Xishan: "Did you get your head stuck in a door? Do you think they care about being called great-grandparents? Do you even understand the situation? They're rich..."
He Xishan stood up abruptly: "Does having money give you the right to look down on people?"
Sun Yurong took a deep breath: "Fine, you're aloof, you have pride..."
At this point, she looked at Zhou Mingyuan with a stern face and said, "Where are those antiques? Since you think there's no problem with them, you're probably not afraid of me taking them for appraisal. Don't worry, if they're real, I won't take them from you, and I won't take advantage of you."
Zhou Mingyuan lowered his head: "In my study."
He Xishan suddenly called out, "Mingyuan!"
Zhou Mingyuan looked at her: "Let Mom take it to be appraised. They all say it's fake. After the appraisal, they shouldn't say that anymore."
He Xishan clenched her fists. She didn't know where her parents and younger brother had gone. She had someone check and they said they had moved abroad.
Why did you move abroad without telling her?
They even sold their house and moved to another country, but no one could find out.
Are those antiques really real?
She was no longer sure.
But if it's fake, how will she explain it to Mingyuan?
The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became, and I started to panic.
Her stomach started to hurt, and she quickly sat down, clutching her stomach: "Mingyuan, baby, take me to the hospital..."
Sun Yurong sneered from the side. Was she afraid of being exposed and was starting to bring up her pregnancy again?
Zhou Mingyuan was terrified when he saw her face turn bluish-purple and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. He quickly picked her up and rushed to the hospital in the car.
Zhou Jia was worried, so she went over too.
Sun Yurong didn't care about anything else. She called someone over and took the antiques away from the study.
...
Zhou Qisheng was discharged from the hospital after two days. When the Lin family heard that he was sick, Lin Weiqi and Wang Yuehua came to visit him.
Wang Yuehua hadn't visited the Zhou family home yet, having only been married for a little over a month. When she arrived at the old Zhou family residence, she was astonished to find that it had undergone a complete transformation.
The yard smelled faintly of mugwort and was filled with many of her daughter's favorite plants. The house was also filled with furniture that her daughter liked, clearly decorated according to her preferences.
Tan Qingwen had business dealings with the Zhou family. Even though she and Zhou Kanghui were divorced, the old man had always supported her son. Knowing that he was sick and hospitalized, she felt she should come and visit him for her son's sake, regardless of anything else.
So the two families agreed to visit the old man on the same day.
