Chapter 30 Three Together
The eldest sister, Zhou Liqing, said, "I remember once when I was little, I made a mistake, and my grandparents punished me by making me go back to my room to write a four-page apology. I was only in second grade at the time, and there were many words I didn't know how to write. My grandmother wouldn't allow me to use pinyin, and I couldn't ask anyone else for help. When I encountered a word I didn't know how to write, I could only look it up in the dictionary one by one. After that, before I thought about saying anything or doing anything outrageous, I would think about the heartache of writing that four-page apology..."
Yu Minhua looked at her son and said, "The three of you go back to your rooms and reflect on your mistakes."
Stop making a fool of yourselves here, it hurts her eyes to watch.
Zhou Kanghui: "......"
Grandpa Zhou Qisheng had been silent until now, when he finally spoke up: "Go back to your rooms and write ten self-criticisms each."
Sun Yurong: "......"
Zhou Kanghui: "......"
Seeing his father's stern face, he knew there was no room for negotiation. He thought to himself, "Fine, I'll write it. I can just search on my phone and copy what I find."
Just as he was thinking this, he heard his father say to the maid next to him, "Take away all their cell phones, computers, tablets, and all electronic devices. Give them back when they have written their self-criticisms."
Zhou Kanghui: "......"
Zhou Liqing stood by, gloating. Serves him right.
The three of them were thus forced back to their room.
Zhou Mingyuan's face was very ugly. He also felt that his grandparents were biased and were somewhat disappointed in his younger sister. If Grandma wouldn't give it to them, couldn't they just not take it? Why did they have to fight for those things?
When he makes money in the future, he will naturally buy it for her. What's the point of arguing?
Once inside, Zhou Kanghui was furious at the thought of having to write a ten-page self-criticism. He looked at his youngest daughter, who was following them in with her head down, and scolded, "You troublemaker! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be being punished by your grandparents to write self-criticisms."
Zhou Jia burst into tears: "My grandparents don't love me anymore. I only said one sentence, and they scolded me and told me to sit further away and give my seat to Miss Lin."
Sun Yurong: "Keep your voice down. If your grandparents hear you, they'll dislike you even more."
Zhou Kanghui plopped down on the bed: "My parents are the same. They didn't give me any face at all in front of my future daughter-in-law."
Sun Yurong sat down next to him, frowning: "Lin Yi'an didn't give you any face either. Look at what she said!"
Zhou Jia originally had no problem with Lin Yi'an, but when it was her mother's birthday, they didn't even come to the hotel to say hello, clearly showing they didn't respect them, so she started to dislike her.
This happened again today, and she disliked her even more, saying, "It's all Lin Yi'an's fault."
Zhou Kanghui: "Shut up, what did they do wrong?"
Zhou Jia pursed her lips and remained silent.
Zhou Kanghui coughed and said, "Although she didn't give me any face, she is the third young lady of the Lin family. Our two families are related by marriage, and she doesn't have to put up with our family's attitude. Besides, it was Jiajia's fault in the first place, so she doesn't have to tolerate it. Otherwise, you might think she's easy to bully."
"Besides, what they said wasn't wrong. I spoiled you too much before. It's also your mother's fault. Whenever you made a mistake, your grandparents would punish you, and your mother would cry and beg me to plead for you. Then your grandparents would just stop caring about you."
"In the end, it's all your mother's fault for not raising you well. You're not likable at all. You should learn from your third brother. Look how good he is. He knows how to work hard and doesn't compete with your second brother. He relies on himself for everything."
Zhou Jia started crying again: "Third Brother isn't thinking straight. Doesn't he know his own abilities? And you want me to learn from him?"
Sun Yurong shouted, "Zhou Jia, shut up."
My son is just a bit naive, but at least he's willing to work hard for himself. How can you, as his sister, talk about your brother like that?
Zhou Jia didn't dare to say a word.
Zhou Kanghui then said, “Then you should learn from your eldest brother, second brother, and eldest sister. They are all smart. They were born to the same mother as you. Look at the two children your mother gave birth to, neither of them are good. You can’t blame me. I have five children, and only the two of you are not good. I’m the one who feels wronged.”
Anyway, if the child is not well-mannered, everyone is at fault except him.
Sun Yurong looked heartbroken: "Kang Hui, your words have hurt me deeply. I know I come from a poor background, but how could you say that..."
Zhou Kanghui snorted, "Didn't you hear what the eldest, second eldest, and Liqing said? Mom and Dad said Jiajia wasn't well managed, and it must be your fault. You spoil her too much. When Mom and Dad punished her, I wouldn't have pleaded for her if you hadn't begged me."
Sun Yurong felt extremely aggrieved. What use was a man like that if he didn't have some money?
Zhou Kanghui said, "Hurry up and think of how to write that self-criticism. I can't write it myself. You write it and I'll copy it."
Sun Yurong: "......"
Lin Yi'an didn't think too much about it and continued to sit and talk with Grandpa and Grandma Zhou.
Butler Liu brought over a jewelry box, which Yu Minhua took and handed to Lin Yi'an: "This is from Grandma, take it quickly."
Lin Yi'an looked at Zhou Mingshi, who said, "Take it. My sister-in-law also gave me a gift back then."
Lin Yi'an then accepted it: "Thank you, Grandma!"
Zhou Mingshi called over Assistant Chen: "Help Yi'an take her things and put them away properly."
Lin Yi'an handed the items to Assistant Chen.
Yu Minhua smiled and said, "That's right."
They sat and talked for a while, then the old man and woman got bored and went outside for a stroll, leaving behind the words, "You two play by yourselves," before leaving.
The eldest sister-in-law, Yan Shuyan, walked over and looked at Lin Yi'an: "May I call you Yi'an?"
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Of course."
Yan Shuyan leaned close to her ear and said, "Yi'an, I want to ask you something."
Lin Yi'an: "Go ahead."
Yan Shuyan: "My period is a month late. I'm not pregnant, and I'm not that old. Why did my period stop?"
Lin Yi'an: "How about I take your pulse?"
Yan Shuyan said, "I won't take your pulse today. Let's exchange contact information. Let me know when you start work, and I'll go directly to your TCM clinic."
Lin Yi'an nodded: "That works too."
After exchanging contact information, Yan Shuyan said with a smile, "The Zhou family will be very lively after you and Mingshi get married."
Lin Yi'an smiled.
Yan Shuyan added, "But I think it will definitely be more lively over in Mingyuan."
Lin Yi'an looked at her curiously and said, "The third brother found a girlfriend. Not only is her family background ordinary, but I heard that the girl's father is a gambler who has lost a lot of money outside. The third brother helped cover the losses. Sun Yurong is ambitious and wants her son to find a wife from a wealthy family. But Mingyuan is a womanizer. Do you think it will be a big deal when Sun Yurong finds out about this?"
Lin Yi'an asked, "Zhou Mingyuan knows his mother doesn't approve, but he still wants to be with his current girlfriend. He must really like her. His mother might not be able to persuade him otherwise."
Yan Shuyan looked at her admiringly: "I didn't expect you to have such sharp eyes. Zhou Mingyuan is very stubborn. Once he's made up his mind, no one in his family, let alone his mother, can persuade him."
Not only that, this brother-in-law was blindly confident and wouldn't listen to anyone in the family unless they said what he wanted.
