Chapter 294 Do you think your elder brother is a good person?
"What’s wrong with you?"
After seeing Cheng Zhigang, Zhou Xia felt as if there was fire under her butt and she stood up from the small stool with a whoosh.
Li Caiyun only heard of Cheng Zhigang's name but didn't know him. Seeing Zhou Xia's reaction, she slowly stood up and asked in confusion: "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
Zhou Xia bit her lip and did not answer Li Caiyun's words. Instead, she said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go take a look."
Li Caiyun looked at Zhou Xia with doubt: "Is this person here to see you?"
Zhou Xia didn't have time to explain, she hurried out to greet him, and was very reluctant to see Cheng Zhigang come to her eldest brother's house.
Li Caiyun glanced at Cheng Zhigang who was standing at the gate looking into the yard, then turned back to tell Zhou Yong that his family was coming.
"What are you doing here?"
Cheng Zhigang looked at Zhou Xia's panicked expression and said, "I'm here to find your brother."
Zhou Xia was a little panicked: "Why are you looking for my brother?"
Cheng Zhigang glanced at her and said, "Go discuss our marriage with your eldest brother."
Zhou Xia froze, she stared at Cheng Zhigang, her back teeth almost breaking.
"I didn't say I wanted to marry you. Why did you discuss marriage with my eldest brother? You should leave immediately. It's not good for others to know that you have contact with my eldest brother..."
Cheng Zhigang looked displeased: "Are you worried that I will bring trouble to your brother's reputation?"
Zhou Xia was indeed afraid that this kind of thing would happen, after all, Zhou Yong and Cheng Zhigang were not the same kind of people.
She did not answer Cheng Zhigang's words, but kept urging him to leave quickly.
Zhou Xia's attitude made Cheng Zhigang very angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think your elder brother is a good person?"
Before Zhou Kexin got into trouble, Cheng Zhigang already knew a lot about Zhou Yong. At that time, he knew that Zhou Yong had a close relationship with Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang from the County Public Security Bureau.
After Xu Kuishan extended his hand to Huaixi Village, Cheng Zhigang had a new understanding of Zhou Yong's connections.
It was then that he realized that Zhou Yong, who seemed to be just a low-level village cadre, was actually able to mobilize the biggest gang members in Qingmu County.
It was also from that time that Cheng Zhigang realized that Zhou Yong was a very complicated person, and if possible, he did not want to have any conflict with Zhou Yong.
Zhou Xia's eyes were filled with doubt and confusion after hearing Cheng Zhigang's words, but she didn't want to delve into the issue: "Your elder brother is not a good person, get out of here."
"Here comes a guest, how can you chase him away?"
Zhou Yong's words came faintly from behind Zhou Xia, and Cheng Zhigang saw him pursed his lips.
Zhou Xia turned and looked at her elder brother. She opened her mouth and quietly stepped aside.
Zhou Yong walked up to Cheng Zhigang in two or three steps and said, "Welcome to my home."
Cheng Zhigang glanced at Zhou Xia and felt extremely unhappy. He said stiffly, "It's really presumptuous of me to come here so suddenly."
Zhou Yong smiled faintly and made a gesture of invitation.
Cheng Zhigang glanced at Zhou Xia again: "Let's go out and talk!"
Zhou Yong nodded, and Cheng Zhigang got into the car.
Zhou Xia's eyes were full of worry. Under her gaze, Cheng Zhigang drove slowly away from the gate of the Li family.
Li Caiyun walked out of the courtyard, her eyes full of confusion: "It's almost time for dinner, why did your brother leave with that guy?"
Zhou Xia looked at her sister-in-law and told Li Caiyun who the visitor was.
When Li Caiyun learned that the visitor was Cheng Zhigang, she became nervous and couldn't help but worry about Zhou Yong.
In Li Caiyun's heart, Zhou Yong is not only a good citizen who abides by the law, but also a good father and a good husband. So when she learned that her man went out alone with Cheng Zhigang, she was extremely panicked.
Zhou Xia held Li Caiyun's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. He won't do anything to my brother."
Li Caiyun looked at her, feeling anxious: "I hope so!"
Zhou Xia took Li Caiyun's arm and walked into the yard. About an hour later, Cheng Zhigang sent Zhou Yong back.
When Li Caiyun saw her man coming back, she hurriedly went to greet him.
When she came in front of Zhou Yong, Li Caiyun kept looking at him. Seeing that he was safe and sound, her heart finally settled down.
Zhou Yong laughed and pinched Li Caiyun's face: "Are you scared?"
Li Caiyun looked at him: "What do you think?"
Zhou Yong said softly: "Don't be afraid, he just wants to chat with me."
Li Caiyun's eyes were red, which made Zhou Yong sigh softly.
After comforting Li Caiyun, the couple went into the house to eat.
During the meal, only the children were laughing and talking, while the adults seemed silent.
Zhou Xia witnessed all this and felt mixed emotions.
She knew very well that it was her fault that made her eldest brother's family lose their appetite, and her heart was filled with guilt and anxiety.
After dinner, Zhou Xia took the initiative to find Zhou Yong and asked him what Cheng Zhigang had said to him.
"Cheng Zhigang asked you to pick up the child tomorrow."
Zhou Xia was stunned for a moment: "Then what?"
Zhou Yong frowned: "What then? That's what he told me."
Zhou Xia looked at Zhou Yong: "Brother, doesn't he have any additional conditions?"
Zhou Yong sighed softly and recounted the whole story.
After Zhou Yong left in the afternoon, Cheng Zhigang sat alone in silence for more than two hours, during which time he thought about many things.
Just as Zhou Yong said, if the two children lived with him, they would not have a good ending in the future. Out of love for the child and long-term considerations, Cheng Zhigang finally decided to give the child to Zhou Xia for raising.
After hearing Zhou Yong's words, Zhou Xia's heart was like a raging wave, unable to calm down.
Zhou Yong looked at Zhou Xia, whose mood was constantly changing: "Cheng Zhigang is a real man. He didn't attach any conditions to the child. Even when I offered to compensate him, he rejected it outright..."
In Cheng Zhigang's words, if he cared about money, he would not have adopted the two sisters in the first place.
Zhou Xia bit her lip, her eyes gradually drooped, Zhou Yong took a deep breath: "When you go to pick up the child tomorrow, you must thank them well..."
"Brother, I know what to do."
Zhou Yong nodded: "I'll go back to the house first."
Zhou Xia responded, and Zhou Yong went back to the room to comfort Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang.
The old couple are both honest people, and Cheng Zhigang's arrival makes them feel uneasy.
Not to mention the couple, Li Caiyun's heart was also in a knot, after all, it had only been a few days since Zhou Kexin's incident.
Zhou Yong was very busy that night. After comforting Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang, he went back to the room to comfort Li Caiyun.
Fortunately, the three members of the Li family were all reasonable people and did not complain. However, as long as Zhou Xia stayed at home for a day, they would feel insecure.
The old couple were afraid that something similar to what happened to Zhou Kexin would happen again. In Zhang Guifang's words, they were too old to withstand any shock.
The next day, Zhou Xia got up very early. She didn't even have breakfast and rode her bicycle to Hongqi Township.
"Zhou Yong, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Zhou Yong thought for a moment and said, "Dad, it doesn't matter whether Zhou Xia goes to pick up the kids or not."
Cheng Zhigang took the initiative to return the child to Zhou Xia, and Zhou Yong believed that he would not do anything behind her back.
Li Baotian's face was filled with worry. Zhang Guifang sighed, "You should go with them to see what's going on! Zhou Xia is a woman after all, and Cheng Quezi is not a good person. What if he bullies Zhou Xia?"
Although the couple were afraid that Zhou Xia would cause trouble to the family, they were both kind-hearted people and could not bear to see Zhou Xia, a woman, face those things alone.
