Chapter 3: Making Good Green Tea
"Hey, our eldest daughter is back!"
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
"I made sweet and sour pork ribs today, they smell so good!"
As soon as Zhu Yunying got off the car, she heard a pretentious clip sound, and then a somewhat plump woman in cheongsam appeared in front of her.
Look at the style, it must be her stepmother Zhou Xiu.
In the book, Zhu Yunying’s scumbag father Wu Zhixiong is a son-in-law who married into the family.
Relying on his good looks and eloquence, he was willing to be a son-in-law and captured the heart of Zhu Qingyin, the only daughter of the Zhu family.
When Zhu Qingyin was still alive, Wu Zhixiong was a gentle gentleman, a humble and polite husband, and a loving father. No one could find fault with him.
It was not until Zhu Qingyin passed away and the Zhu family's property fell into his hands that his true colors were revealed.
Zhu Yunying was only 5 years old when her mother passed away!
Not long after, my father let a widow named Zhou Xiu with two children live in his home under the pretext of taking care of fellow villagers who were fleeing famine.
As she was taken care of, Zhou Xiu finally slept in Wu Zhixiong's bed.
As he continued to take care of them, the son and daughter Zhou Xiu brought with her gradually developed the features of Wu Zhixiong.
Even a fool can see it!
Before his original wife passed away, Wu Zhixiong had an affair with another woman and had two children.
The key point is that when the two children were brought in, Zhou Xiu insisted that they were from Wujia Village and that everyone in the village had the surname Wu.
So, the daughter is named Wu Meng and the son is named Wu Tianbao.
What a bastard!
Three generations of ancestral clans can’t wait!
Ungrateful person!
"Zhu Yunying" clearly lived in the house left by her mother, but she had to watch her father and stepmother being in love and their family of four being happy.
From this perspective, it is not difficult to understand why she gave the watch to Xu Hansheng.
After all, in her eyes, anything kept at home is not safe and will be coveted by others.
She firmly believed that she and Xu Hansheng would be together, and marriage was a matter of time!
Zhou Xiu has always done a good job in saving face.
To celebrate her son's birthday, she said she made her favorite dish!
Great way to make green tea.
Now that you are here, make the most of it.
Zhu Yunying sat down at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into her mouth.
After working for so long, I'm really hungry.
It’s soft and delicious, with just the right amount of saltiness and fragrance. It’s really good!
Zhou Xiu has some skills.
Slightly worse than her...
Zhu Yunying couldn't stop eating with her chopsticks. She ate up the whole plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, one piece at a time.
She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth contentedly, and felt full of energy to fight the next round.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Xiu will get a job for her baby son!
The Zhu family started out in Beijing and later branched out to other places.
The Zhu family in Haicheng has donated all the real economy industries they could. Now they only have a few houses and live on bank interest.
The Haicheng Zhu family now has only Zhu Yunwei as its direct descendant.
Her mother was a fire-fighting hero back then. The organization not only gave her a banner of honor and a watch as a reward, but also promised to find a job for Zhu Yunying.
This job is not only based on Zhu Qingyin's achievements, but also depends on the repeated efforts of the people she rescued.
Zhu Yunying will never let her out!
"Yun Wei, your family members aren't all here yet, how did you finish your meal? Today is your brother's birthday! That's rude!"
Wu Zhixiong was invited by Zhou Xiu to go downstairs for dinner, and Wu Meng and Wu Tianbao, brother and sister, followed behind him closely.
Zhu Yunying glanced at him and said coldly, "My mother only gave birth to one! Where did the younger brother come from?"
"What are you crazy about? The ribs your mother Zhou worked so hard to make for you, and you've eaten them all? That's so heartbreaking!"
Wu Zhixiong came over and slammed the table in front of her.
Zhu Yunying sneered in her heart, raised her eyelids and glanced at Zhou Xiu.
"Dad, in the past, those who called her mother by her first name in the small house were all servants. Ask her if she wants to be called that?"
Finished speaking.
Wu Zhixiong's face was slightly stunned, then he realized what was happening and was about to have another attack.
Zhou Xiu's face turned red and white, but she endured it because of the job opportunity.
"Brother Zhixiong, Yunwei doesn't mean what she said. Let's talk about serious matters."
As soon as the woman coaxed him, Wu Zhixiong was easily seduced.
"Yunwei, Dad won't beat around the bush with you. Your brother... Tianbao will graduate next month and still hasn't found a job. You can retire from your job at Haicheng University and give it to him."
"..." Zhu Yunying raised her hand and stroked her brow. She didn't agree or not. Instead, she turned to look at Wu Meng, "If Wu Tianbao can't find a job, can you find one? If I give him my job, you'll have no choice but to go to the countryside!"
After all, all the recent graduates in Haicheng who cannot be assigned jobs have to go to the countryside.
No one can escape.
Zhu Yunying stared at Wu Meng with a forced smile.
Wu Meng shuddered, shrank back behind Zhou Xiu, and dared not say a word.
She has a father and a mother, and a younger brother who is fighting in the front lines, so she doesn't want to stand out!
Then Wu Tianbao nonchalantly said, "Sister, aren't you unwilling to marry into the army? Mom and Dad have already agreed to let Sister Meng marry Commander Feng! I'll study literature at university, and Sister Meng will study military. Our family will have a bright future!"
"Is there a future in pursuing either literature or martial arts?"
Zhu Yunying couldn't help but applaud the family of four.
That’s amazing.
Wu Zhixiong and his bastards are really capable to eat up the entire family to such an extent!
"So, what you four are saying is that my job will be given to Wu Tianbao, my husband will be given to Wu Meng, and the house, car, and money my mom left behind will be given to you two mistresses? Is that right?"
They didn't realize there was anything wrong with the first part of the sentence, but the word "mistress" at the end made Wu Zhixiong and Zhou Xiu's faces turn black.
"Brother Zhixiong, we're married, legally married," Zhou Xiu said miserably. She then turned to Zhu Yunyao and said earnestly, "Yunyao, are you feeling bullied outside and unhappy? Did you go to the supply and marketing cooperative today?"
Zhu Yunwei: “…”
This woman Zhou Xiu is really capable!
No wonder "Zhu Yunwei" in the original book was fooled by her.
At the beginning, Wu Zhixiong hoped that Zhu Yunying would marry Feng Shuo, and actively encouraged her to join the army, just to get rid of the daughter left by his ex-wife, monopolize the Zhu family's property, and turn a blind eye to it.
But after Zhou Xiu knew that she liked Xu Hansheng, she encouraged her to fight for it. Women in the new era cannot be bound by their parents' orders and must bravely pursue their own love!
In fact, this was exactly what she was planning, to let her daughter snatch the Feng family's engaged daughter away!
The Feng family is a famous and prestigious family in the city!
It would take Wu Zhixiong eight hundred years to establish such a relationship.
Don’t grab it if it’s not necessary!
In the original book, Zhou Xiu was indeed successful in instigating rebellion, and even made Zhu Yunying, who impulsively got married, send a telegram to the army expressing her desire for a divorce, making Feng Shuo, whom she had never met before, confused.
This move directly cut off Zhu Yunwei's chance of making a comeback in the future!
Clang——
Zhu Yunying looked at Zhou Xiu's hypocritical face and was unable to express herself with words. She stood up and overturned the table!
"Wu Zhixiong! I just want to ask you one question: am I still your biological child?"
