The atmosphere in the room was very tense during dinner that evening. No one spoke much, and Sun Zhenghong was so angry that he didn't even come to eat.
Ning Xiaowei found out what happened after get off work, but she didn't ask anything because she trusted Sun Zhengguo and believed he would never break up her sister's marriage without a reason.
After finishing dinner, Sun Zhengguo didn't linger and returned to the courtyard with his wife and children.
Once inside the house, Sun Zhengguo first put down the sleeping child in his arms, and then asked in a mysterious manner.
"Honey, you must be feeling really stifled! Do you think I'm being a little cold-hearted?"
"No, I think you might be testing them?"
Ning Xiaowei winked playfully and said.
It seems to be saying, "I guessed right! Quickly praise me."
Seeing his wife's playful little face, Sun Zhengguo was immediately tempted. Looking at his sleeping 'Uncle Sun' on the small bed, he excitedly said...
"Congratulations, wife, you got them all right. To reward your cleverness, I've decided to take a small loss and give you a free medical check-up."
"Get lost! Hey! Hey!...Wait a minute, hey!..."
Ning Xiaowei wanted to take a shower first, but Sun Zhengguo couldn't wait any longer and immediately took action.
The temperature inside the room rose instantly, making a physical fight inevitable.
At this moment, Sun Zhenghong, who was in the courtyard, was unaware that her hated brother was doing something inappropriate for children.
Although she was very angry today, she didn't suffer in silence. Right now, she was hiding in her room, munching on a white steamed bun that Lin Wencui had specially saved for her.
The next morning, Zhou Weimin, who had just arrived at work, was unaware that his affair with Sun Zhenghong had been exposed, and was still cheerfully greeting his colleagues.
Soon after, Sun Zheng'an also arrived at the office, his desk right next to Zhou Weimin's.
Good morning, Zheng'an.
Good morning, Weimin.
Upon hearing Zhou Weimin greet him, Sun Zheng'an quickly returned the greeting, but he was clearly somewhat distracted.
His older brother had given him a task last night: to notify Zhou Weimin as soon as he arrived at work and to go to his office.
"Weimin, Deputy Director Sun wants you to go to his office." After hesitating for a moment, Sun Zheng'an still notified Zhou Weimin.
"Oh! Do you know what it is?" Zhou Weimin dared to ask this because the two usually had a good relationship.
"Hey! Anyway, be careful, it might cause some trouble." Sun Zheng'an didn't dare to tell the truth, but just quietly reminded him.
Upon hearing Sun Zheng'an's words, Zhou Weimin panicked instantly. He suddenly realized that his affair with Sun Zhenghong might have been exposed.
However, since the matter has already been made public, it's the same whether you stick your neck out or not, so you might as well lay it all out today. After all, this is something you have to face sooner or later.
So, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, Zhou Weimin went up to the second floor and knocked on the door of Sun Zhengguo's office.
"Please come in."
Having received permission, Zhou Weimin braced himself and pushed open the door, then gently closed it again, before speaking cautiously.
"Deputy Director Sun, you wanted to see me?"
Sun Zhengguo felt a little angry when he saw Zhou Weimin come in.
I kindly helped you find someone to rent a house, and this is how you repay me?
Knowing full well that she was my sister, they started dating secretly without even saying hello.
“Zhou Weimin, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. I don’t approve of your relationship with my sister.”
"Why? Deputy Director Sun, can you give me a reason?"
Zhou Weimin was anxious and, disregarding the occasion, hurriedly questioned him.
"Why? Because I think you're not good enough for my sister. Isn't that reason enough?"
After saying all that, Sun Zhengguo felt it wasn't enough, so he put forward two more attractive conditions.
"How about this? If you give it up voluntarily, I can give you 500 yuan, or I can promote you to deputy section chief in the future. You can choose one!"
Sun Zhengguo said expressionlessly, as if stating a fact.
"Yes, I admit that I am not good enough for your sister right now, but I will try my best. How can you be so sure that my future is not going to work out? Please don't be so quick to dismiss me, okay?"
So what's your choice?
Zhou Weimin was also stunned. Had he not expressed himself clearly enough?
“Deputy Director Sun, I will not choose either of the two conditions you have proposed. I will earn these back with my own hands. At the same time, I will not give up Sun Zhenghong. This is my choice.”
"Zhou Weimin, you need to understand your place. If you work under me, I can ruin your future. Do you believe me?"
When one plan failed, Sun Zhengguo devised another, and began to threaten.
"Do as you please, but I'll say it again, I definitely won't give up on my own initiative."
Now that the situation has become clear, Zhou Weimin can be considered to have passed the test.
However, Sun Zhengguo did not immediately agree and decided to wait and see.
“Zhou Weimin, I hope you won’t act impulsively. Here’s what we’ll do! I’ll give you three days to think it over. The two conditions I just mentioned still stand, but if you still choose to insist, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
"No need, Deputy Director Sun, thank you for your kindness, but I still choose to insist. I have other matters to attend to, so I will return to my office first."
Since they couldn't see eye to eye, Zhou Weimin decided not to continue the conversation. After finishing his sentence, he left the office, seething with anger.
"Hehe! That's quite unique. I wonder what's so good about it?"
After Zhou Weimin left, Sun Zhengguo muttered to himself with a smile.
Zhou Weimin, who left, was unaware that he had actually passed the test.
As soon as Sun Zhengguo and his brother returned to their courtyard after get off work in the evening, Lin Wencui surrounded them.
"Zhengguo, you left early yesterday, and I didn't dare ask you what you're planning to do about your sister's situation?"
"Mom, don't worry, I've already tested him. That kid has a pretty strong will, so we can consider him."
Hearing her son say this, Lin Wencui understood what had happened.
"That's fine. As long as he has good character, I'm at ease."
The conversation between the mother and son left Sun Zheng'an, who was standing to the side, somewhat bewildered.
"Brother, what are you up to? Didn't you disagree? I saw Zhou Weimin looking depressed all day, but I didn't dare to ask. What's going on?"
Sun Zhengguo rolled his eyes at his younger brother. "Do you think your older brother is the kind of person who doesn't understand reason? I just wanted to test Zhou Weimin. Isn't that right?"
“Really, brother? I’ll tell him the good news tomorrow so he won’t be upset,” Sun Zheng’an said excitedly.
"Don't tell him yet. I've given him a few options, and we'll see how he chooses. We'll talk about it after three days."
"Alright, I'll do as you say, brother."
During dinner that evening, the topic came up again. When the grandparents heard that their granddaughter had a boyfriend, they asked when they could meet him.
Lin Wencui quickly explained with a smile, "Mom and Dad, you don't need to worry. Zhenghong is still in school. Even if he gets married, the wedding will have to wait until next year."
"Yes, yes! My granddaughter is still in school! Then let's wait a little longer."
What the people present didn't know was that Grandpa and Grandma had a wish.
That is, in my lifetime, to see all these children grow up, start families, and establish careers.
In that case, even if they die, they will have no regrets.
